Chapter 560: Suppression
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Boom!”
Endless darkness instantly enveloped the entire sky of the Shkedu Dimension, causing everyone to be unable to see their surroundings. Even Great Legends felt that it was pitch-dark. Their senses and even their Mind Power were completely useless.
This was “darkness” in the true sense of the word.
Only the Honored Legends, relying on their own comprehension of the Maxim, could tear open the darkness, and not be affected by the endless darkness.
“Bang!”
A ball of flames exploded, and Legend Arnie immediately ripped apart the darkness. However, when he saw the situation clearly, Legend Zado had already escaped from his Maxim, and was standing beside the mysterious Wizard.
“Darkness Maxim and Flame Maxim… Both Maxims have been consolidated to the extreme. I didn’t expect that the great Darkfire King would have come as well!”
Legend Arnie’s expression was ashen, and a trace of “fear” appeared for the first time in his eyes. He was a savage plunderer and did not fear anyone, not even the nine Honored Legends of the Shkedu Dimension.
However, the Wizard standing before him was the fearsome Supreme King — the Darkfire King!
“Darkfire King, you’re also planning to interfere?”
Legend Arnie seemed to be terrified, and even took a few steps back. He never thought that the King of Arcane City would come too.
Legend Zado, who had just escaped death, opened his mouth, and looked at the Darkfire King. However, he did not say anything, and simply had a complicated expression. He also did not know why the Darkfire King would appear at this place now. He did not think that the Blackfire King had come here especially for him. After all, in Arcane City, he had only heard of the Blackfire King, and only saw him from far away once. They had not even talked to each other before.
The Blackfire King ignored Legend Arnie, and instead looked at Merlin, and said with a displeased voice, “Merlin, if I hadn’t decided to come to take a look after finding out that Legend Zado had come here because of you, I’m afraid that you might have been caught up in a disaster now! Since when is my disciple allowed to be threatened?”
The moment the Darkfire King’s voice fell, the surroundings instantly grew silent.
Disciple? Merlin was the Darkfire King’s disciple?
When Legend Zado hurried over, it was because Merlin was his disciple. However, Merlin was also the Blackfire King’s disciple. This made everyone feel extremely jealous.
The Darkfire King was a Supreme King who was stronger than the Great Honored Legends!
“Teacher, didn’t you say not to easily reveal that you’re my teacher? That’s why…”
Merlin finally let out a long sigh of relief. He had never thought that the Blackfire King would rush over so quickly. However, the Blackfire King made it just in time. Otherwise, Legend Zado and he would really be in danger.
Legend Arnie looked meaningfully at the Blackfire King as well as Merlin and said, “The Great Blackfire King, since Merlin is your disciple, then I’ll admit my fault. Sith, let’s go!”
Legend Arnie wanted to take Legend Sith and leave immediately, but suddenly, the entire sky turned into darkness and trapped Sith and Legend Arnie.
“Hm? Blackfire King, don’t think I’m afraid of you!”
Wizard Arnie roared. He knew that the Blackfire King would not just leave the matter at that. If it were any other Kings, perhaps they would have some misgivings. However, the Blackfire King had always been short-tempered, and acted however he liked.
In the past, because of a fit of rage, he had single-handedly destroyed a few foreign civilizations. As a result, he had obtained the title of a Supreme King after just one battle.
“Boom!”
Flames surged to the sky and tore apart the Darkness Maxim, turning them into flames covering the sky, and burned toward the Blackfire King.
“Hmph!”
The Blackfire King scoffed coldly, and released his Flame Maxim. Two Flame Maxims transformed into two giant beasts of fire which rampaged wildly. The aftershocks spread in all directions, and the few nearby Spell Casters who had no way to defend against it were instantly burnt to ash.
Such a large movement naturally greatly damaged the Shkedu Dimension. However, the four Honored Legends still did not reveal themselves.
The four Honored Legends were currently observing the Blackfire King and Legend Arnie’s every move. However, when they saw their battle and the destruction it caused, they could only exchange looks, and laugh bitterly.
“It’s the Blackfire King… I never would have thought that Merlin is the Blackfire King’s disciple!”
“The Blackfire King has easily suppressed Wizard Arnie. Look, the aftershocks between them are so extreme that it almost razed the land hundreds of miles around them to the ground.”
“That’s deliberate. The Blackfire King is expressing his discontent with us, so he didn’t control the aftershocks and let them damage the Shkedu Dimension.”
The four Honored Legends’ faces seemed to express agony. Only the Blackfire King would do something like that. Previously, when Merlin and Zado were in peril, the Honored Legends of the Shkedu Dimension did not act, which naturally displeased the Blackfire King.
This battle’s aftershocks had ruined a portion of the Shkedu Dimension. It was also because of his resent for them!
However, even though they knew that the Blackfire King was doing this on purpose, they could only endure. The Blackfire King was not someone they could provoke. All they could do now was hope that the Blackfire King would quickly end the battle, and vent the displeasure in his heart, and let the Shkedu Dimension suffer fewer damages.
However, their wishes were doomed to fail. Currently, the Blackfire King was still using the Darkness Maxim to control the surroundings to trap Sith and Legend Arnie while they were using purely Flame Maxims to fight wildly.
Flame Maxims were Maxims with extreme destructive capabilities. The two Wizards had already comprehended their Flame Maxims to the pinnacle, so their strength would not differ much. In a large battle of their Flame Maxims, it would be difficult to say who would win.
As a result, where the two people fought, almost all the places were turned into ruins. So much so that if they really did not hold back anymore, the entire dimension would be blown to smithereens.
Fortunately, although the Blackfire King was furious, and deliberately allowed the battle to cause large-scale damage to the Shkedu Dimension, it was to express his dissatisfaction with the Shkedu Dimension’s Honored Legends’ inaction. However, he still practiced discretion, and would not blow up the entire Shkedu Dimension.
On the other hand, Merlin and Luce did not see those clues. They only felt that the two were madly fighting, their Maxims twisting around their bodies. That power, although they could feel it, they could not even get close to it. Otherwise, it would directly crush the Spell Models in their bodies.
“Teacher Zado, is Teacher Blackfire in any danger?”
Merlin frowned while asking. Although he knew that the Blackfire King was slightly stronger, a merciless plunderer could not be underestimated. Merlin also could not tell who held the advantage in that battle as well as who would win.
“Danger?”
Legend Zado laughed. He looked around and said softly, “Haha, how could the Blackfire King be in danger? Don’t even bring up the fact that there’s only one Legend Arnie. Even if there were two or three, they would still stand no chance against the Blackfire King! How would a Great King be defeated by an ordinary Legend? Right now, the Blackfire King naturally holds the upper hand. He’s just using his battle with Legend Arnie as an excuse to punish the few Honored Legends of the Shkedu Dimension.”
“Punish?”
Merlin saw that the Shkedu Dimension was damaged beyond recognition but the nine Honored Legends in the Shkedu Dimension still did not appear. He then nodded his head as if figuring it out.
“Oh no, if this goes on, our Shkedu Dimension will be completely destroyed in a day.”
“Even if it’s not destroyed, we no longer have any way to maintaining the prosperity of the Shkedu Dimension… D*mn it, if we had known that he was the Blackfire King’s disciple, how would we have dared to stand idly by?”
“The Blackfire King doesn’t have any intention to stop at all. Now that it’s come to this, we can only act!”
The four Honored Legends exchanged looks. They could not sit around any longer. If this continued, the entire Shkedu Dimension would be ruined. They had to act.
Of course, they would not be acting against the Blackfire King but helping him kill Legend Arnie. That way, the Blackfire King would not have any reason to destroy the Shkedu Dimension.
Thus, the figures of the four Honored Legends who were overseeing the Shkedu Dimension flashed, and they entered the Spatial Passage.
The four figures instantly appeared above the air between the Blackfire King’s and Legend Arnie’s battle. They looked at the Blackfire King and hurriedly shouted, “Blackfire King, we’ve arrived late! We shall help the Blackfire King against this despicable plunderer!”
Saying that, the four Honored Legends released their own Maxims. Four terrifying Maxims at the pinnacle of comprehension surged. The Shkedu Dimension seemed to be on the brink of collapse, almost unable to withstand so many terrifying shocks from the Maxims.
The Blackfire King glanced at the four Honored Legends and said coldly, “That’s not necessary. If you step in, this dimension won’t be able to handle it. At that time, if the dimension collapses, it’ll be your fault, not mine.”
“This…”
The four Honored Legends’ expression twisted. If they did not intervene and the Blackfire King continued like this, even if the Shkedu Dimension did not collapse, there would be nothing left anyway.
“Boom!”
While the four Honored Legends were caught awkwardly, the life force around the Blackfire King’s body violently increased. The dense Darkness Maxim formed a giant hand which faintly fused together with the Flame Maxim.
“Bang!”
The giant hand gripped firmly, and Legend Arnie’s Flame Maxim was shattered as easily as brittle glass. Then, it viciously slapped against Legend Arnie, and he was instantly turned into a bloody splat.
“Whiz.”
A trace of almost transparent flame tried to pass through the layers of darkness in the blink of an eye. The Blackfire King scoffed coldly again, and with another grab with the giant hand, it directly caught that transparent flame in its hand.
“Trying to run? In the past, Arcane Wizards said that although you plunderers destroyed the foundation of the Spell Caster civilization on various levels, you’re still a member among the Spell Caster. Especially when battling with foreign civilizations, you’ve made a lot of contributions… However, in my opinion, all plunderers deserve to die!”
“No, Darkfire King, please don’t kill me… I know there’s a Sin Corps in Arcane City. Its members have all committed great crimes and were caught by Arcane City. I’m willing to serve in the Sin Corps for ten thousand years!”
This Flame Maxim itself was unexpectedly Legend Arnie. Even if his bones were ground to dust, he would still be able to exist. This was one of the greatest powers of an Honored Legend. Once they understood a Maxim to its extreme, it could become their foundation and their consciousness would be held in the Maxim. As long as the Maxim did not disappear, they would not die.
They were similar to gods in this point, whereby if their divinity was not wiped out, the god would not die!
However, only Maxims that had been comprehended to the maximum would be able to withstand a Great Legend’s consciousness, and not break the mind.
“You also know about the Sin Corps? An Honored Legend really is formidable… No matter what, I’m also a member of Arcane City. Putting you in the Sin Corps will also be a contribution to Arcane City. Hence, I’ll spare you for today!”
The Blackfire King’s lips pulled down into a sneer. Then, the large hand suppressed Legend Arnie’s Maxim in a grip, and prepared to bring him back to Arcane City to put him into Arcane City’s most terrifying Sin Corps.
