A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 773: The Master of the Sacred Land!

What powerful existences they were.

First, they sealed off Flare City, and defeated the four contenders on par with Honored Legends. They waited for a few more days, noticing that only masters from the other cities of Flare Nation came by to investigate. As for the people of the sacred land, not a single one came.

Therefore, both of them discussed whether the uproar they caused was huge enough. They might as well bring the four contenders of the Flare Nation directly to the Flame Nation, causing another commotion. Surely the people of the sacred land would appear then.

“There’s a high chance that the people of the sacred land know how to leave the Flare Region world!”

Merlin and Setoh slowly figured out the foundations of this world. In this world, the people of the sacred land did not appear often, and there were not many from the two countries who could access the sacred land.

However, the sacred land was the force that had controlled the Flare Region world. Only through the sacred land could one understand all matters of the Flare Region world. Therefore, if Merlin and Setoh wished to leave this place, they had to rely on the sacred land.

“Swish.”

When Merlin and Setoh had reached the Flame Nation, they were greeted by a city even more prosperous than Flare City. Everyone was filled with vitality.

With more people here, there were more contenders too. As for contenders on par with Honored Legends, Merlin immediately used his Mind Power to make a wide sweep. He discovered six forces that were equally matched with the Flare King.

“Six existences comparable to Honored Legends! It’s not surprising that His Majesty the King was so worried.”

However, Merlin was calm. No matter how many Honored Legends there were, they would not be of any threat to him. Nonetheless, their goal was not the destruction of the Flame Nation but to lure out the sacred land. Naturally, the bigger the disturbance, the better.

“We’ll seal off Flame City first!”

This was the capital of the Flame Nation which was highly influential. Wizard Setoh nodded, following which his Darkness Maxim started to slowly condense. The entire sky gradually turned dark as if a gigantic black cloud was swiftly gathering above Flame City.

“The Flare Nation? You dare to cause trouble in Flame City?”

Suddenly, a furious roar pierced through Flame City. Six figures quickly flew toward Merlin.

Wizard Setoh did not use his Maxim to block them and instead, allowed them to fly into the air, facing off against Merlin’s group.

Evidently, these six were the strongest contenders of the Flame Nation. All of them had terrifying fire god-demons behind them, and their gazes at Merlin and Setoh contained a trace of apprehension. After all, the dark cloud above their heads induced a vague sense of pressure that seemed to suffocate them.

“Who are you? Contenders hired by the Flare Nation?”

The man dressed in a blue robe in front had eyes like lightning, glaring at Merlin as he spoke.

Merlin shook his head, and his gaze turned piercing all at once. His Mind Power soundlessly crept over the six of them.

“Mind Control!”

Instantly, their eyes took on a glazed look as they gradually became blank. They were controlled by Merlin.

Previously, the people of the Flare Nation knew that Merlin possessed some mystical ability that could control people. However, it was only now that they had seen the slacken stares of those six, that they understood how frightening these two were.

This was a catastrophe for the entire Flare Region world!

“Tell us all you know about the sacred land.”

Merlin had controlled the six from the Flame Nation, and started to inquire about the sacred land. After all, they could not simply rely on the words from the Flare Nation’s side.

The six of them had their minds controlled, so naturally, they spouted everything they knew, sharing their knowledge of the sacred land in detail. Merlin and Setoh listened carefully, and realized it was similar to what the Flare Nation had said.

Whether it was the Flare Nation or the Flame Nation, they had a limited understanding of the sacred land, not knowing where it was.

“What do we do? If the people of sacred land still don’t show up, we have no choice but to cause a greater commotion such as destroying Flame City!”

Merlin’s eyes gleamed coldly though he was reluctant to go so far. After all, this was a foreign world. The power of the sacred land was still unknown. There might be beings on par with Lords.

If they had destroyed the city and made an enemy of the sacred land, they would surely attract unwanted attention. Thus, unless they had no other choice, Merlin did not want to do this. They only wished to gain the sacred land’s assistance, hoping to return to the Void Zone.

This was because the Spell Caster civilization was still clinging on bitterly. They had to visit the Giant Tribe to bring back hope for the entire Spell Caster civilization. They must not waste too much time in this world.

“We’ll wait longer...”

Before Wizard Setoh could finish, a suffocating might seemed to materialize in the sky. A gigantic fire god-demon slowly formed above them.

“Disperse!”

Following this thunderous voice, the black cloud which had shrouded Flame City was instantly dispersed. The people of Flame City looked somewhat bewildered.

Merlin and Wizard Setoh were even more astonished. Others did not know much about Wizard Setoh’s sealing powers but they knew that as an avatar of Arcane Wizard Setoh, this was on par with a Great Lord.

However, this power comparable to a Great Lord’s was now swept aside. Did this not mean that the strength of this fire god-demon was even stronger than a Great Lord’s?

It was difficult to imagine that a unique, peculiar world like this would have someone even stronger than Arcane Wizard Setoh’s avatar.

“Could it be someone from the sacred land?”

Merlin instantly thought of this. Someone even more powerful than an Honored Legend in this world – they must be from that mysterious sacred land, someone Merlin and Setoh had been searching for.

“Hahaha, as I expected – forces from the outer-region...”

A boisterous laugh rang out, following which the fire god-demon slowly faded away, revealing a slender, middle-aged man. Behind him was someone whose force was greater than the Flare King’s.

“Are you from the sacred land?”

Merlin took a step forward, and asked in a low voice.

“That’s right. I’m the master of the sacred land. You can call me Flarite!”

With that, he glanced at the people of the Flare Nation and the Flame Nation. An astonished look came into his eyes, and he slowly said, “Those from the outer region like you have truly strange powers, able to control these people... Although they’re indeed somewhat inadequate, they could be considered the strongest among our Flare Tribe.”

This self-proclaimed master of the sacred land, Flarite, made Merlin and Setoh afraid. It seemed that even Setoh was filled with dread over this fierce, surging power.

After eyeing Flarite for a long time, a dumbstruck look finally crossed Wizard Setoh’s face. He mumbled, “You’ve already reached the threshold of an ultimate existence and can attempt to fuse with the natural order! If you succeed, you’ll become a great ultimate existence...”

Wizard Setoh was stunned to his core. During his long life, he had encountered countless foreign civilizations but in terms of someone who could start merging with the natural order and almost reaching the standard of an ultimate existence, Flarite was the first one Wizard Setoh had seen.

“How’s that possible? Wizard Setoh, are you sure?”

Naturally, Merlin knew very well what reaching the threshold of merging with the natural order would mean. This was comparable to an existence in the Spell Caster civilization who had five ultimate Maxims.

Even Augustus’ strongest Lord, the Fowell Lord, had not condensed five ultimate Maxims. Otherwise, he could have attempted to fuse with the natural order.

An existence like this was extremely fearsome. Although he had not reached the level of a Greatest Lord, he was close enough. Moreover, once he had merged with the natural order, he would be a noble ultimate existence.

As for a Greatest Lord, the current Merlin had a more detailed understanding than before.

Based on the system of the Spell Caster civilization, a Greatest Lord would be a mythic existence who had consolidated six or more ultimate Maxims, someone long qualified to merge with the natural order but had not done so. Not even ultimate existences could handle someone like this, who could single-handedly determine the outcome of a civilization war.

An existence like this was called the Greatest Lord!

At the moment, the Spell Caster civilization did not have a Greatest Lord. As for other foreign civilizations, they had not met any Greatest Lords either, for they were very rare.

Flarite had the potential to reach the level of a Greatest Lord. Someone like this could kill Arcane Wizard Setoh’s avatar at any time. As for Merlin’s Mind Control, it was useless against someone like Flarite as well.

All at once, faced with the sudden emergence of Flarite whose capability completely exceeded Merlin and Setoh’s estimation, Merlin and Setoh were somewhat speechless.
