Chapter 584: Setting Out
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was no one outside the quiet room which was protected by a Runic Magic Circle. Right outside the room was the extremely powerful Pavilion of Rarities.
In the end, Merlin used twenty-eight casting tools in exchange for nearly sixty million worth of elemental crystal stones, thus obtaining the Dispelling Water and Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities he wanted.
For Merlin, there were many casting tools. It might be hard for Great Wizard Leto to imagine but for a good casting tool that required almost two million elemental crystal stones to obtain, Merlin could obtain with just one hundred elemental crystal stones in the Slothful Beast world.
Thus, Merlin did not lack casting tools at all. In the Slothful Beast world, no one knew how many Spell Casters had been devoured over such a long time. They occasionally carried one or two casting tools, so the amount accumulated over such a period was quite frightening.
After obtaining the Dispelling Water, Merlin asked the Great Wizard Leto to arrange a quiet room. The Great Wizard Leto might have also known that Merlin was going to use the Dispelling Water and re-cultivate his Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, so he specifically told others not to approach this room.
“The Dispelling Water! Let’s see just how amazing it is.”
Merlin flipped his hand, and a droplet of water that looked full of purity, limpid, and sparkling, appeared. He gently opened his mouth and sucked the liquid, directly consuming one Dispelling Water into his body.
After Merlin swallowed the Dispelling Water, it immediately began to have a reaction. Cool strands of life force appeared in Merlin’s body, and he clearly felt the Fire-type Pandora Demon Ability in his body, Fiery Collapse, seemed to melt into the Dispelling Water. It started to gradually be defeated until it finally disappeared!
This process only took a few hours, and Fiery Collapse had disappeared. At least, that was according to Merlin’s senses.
“Fire!”
Merlin held out his hand, and a flame gradually flashed in his hands. Although the flame emitted a terrifying temperature, its might was much lower than before.
“Fiery Collapse really was dispelled!”
Merlin stared at the flame, and did not see any trace of the Fusion Pandora Demon Ability. It showed that the Dispelling Water really could eliminate cultivated Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities.
Thus, Merlin quickly took the remaining five portions of Dispelling Water, and all the Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities in his body were soon eliminated. Only the two special Pandora Demon Abilities – Darkness Eye and Glacier Country could not be eliminated.
Darkness Eye and Glacier Country were special Pandora Demon Abilities, and did not belong to the category of Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities. Therefore, the Dispelling Water had no effect on them. What’s more, Merlin could now rely on the sixth form of Darkness Eye.
As for Glacial Country, although it was also a special Pandora Demon Ability, Merlin had never been able to improve it. Perhaps it was because he did not have any talent in Ice-type Spells, so Glacial Country was currently not very useful for Merlin.
After all, special Pandora Demon Abilities were different than Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, and could not be cultivated by just by using some rare items. The requirements for quality was very high, and Merlin had always shown good qualities for Darkness-types. It was because of this reason that he could raise Darkness Eye to its fifth form, and forcefully improved it to its sixth form with the help of the Blackfire Lord.
After eliminating all the Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, Merlin looked at the six Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities in his hands. All six of these could be considered top Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, and all of them had three stages. Now that Merlin was a seventh-level Spell Caster, as long as he had enough rare items, he would definitely be able to greatly succeed in the cultivation.
Merlin’s own strength would also be significantly improved as long as all these Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities were successfully cultivated. Therefore, Merlin stayed in the house for the next few days, and focused on cultivating the Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities.
…
“Tss.”
A white flame that was almost transparent twined around Merlin’s fingertip.
Almost half a year had passed. It took longer than Merlin had imagined cultivating the Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities. After all, they were all top Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities, so even with rare items, it would still require a long time to cultivate.
“Not bad. It’s much stronger than Fiery Collapse!”
Merlin could feel that the flame on his fingertip was indeed stronger than Fiery Collapse. The Pandora Demon Ability which he had obtained in the Glorious Land could not be said to be weak. It might have been a first-class Pandora Demon Ability.
However, the Spell Caster civilization was developing continuously, and it had several periods of explosive development.
The first stage was the birth of Spell Casters. At that time, Spell Casters started to actively construct Spell Models. Although the early stage was relatively difficult, it was truly an explosive period that quickly swept across the entire Glorious Land.
The second stage was the establishment of the Molta Empire, a nation entirely established by Spell Casters. The Spell Caster civilization also started to control the Molta Empire, and fought against the natural gods in the Glorious Land. It was during this period that Spell Casters rapidly developed, and finally exiled countless gods and completely controlled the Glorious Land.
The third stage was by far the longest and fastest developing stage of the Spell Caster civilization. It started three thousand years ago when Spell Casters walked into the Void Zone, and set foot in myriads of dimensions.
Since then, the Spell Caster civilization had entered an explosive phase where changes happened every day. The Spell Casters’ civilization also expanded rapidly. One by one, ordinary Legends, Honored Legends, and Great Lords appeared.
Whether it was alchemy, runology or even constructing Spell Models, they all developed rapidly. Pandora Demon Abilities also developed orderly, and many new Pandora Demon Abilities could be created. Powerful Pandora Demon Abilities in the Glorious Land were nothing compared to the Void Zone after it had undergone development.
According to Merlin’s rough calculation, the power of just this top Fire-type Fusion Pandora Demon Ability was at least thirty to fifty percent stronger than that of Fiery Collapse.
This was an extremely terrifying increase!
“Oh? It has succeeded?”
The flame on Merlin’s hand was extinguished in an instant. Earlier, he felt that the final Thunder-type Fusion Pandora Demon Ability had been cultivated successfully. It took more than half a year but he had finally completed cultivating the six top Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities!
“Haha, I’ve finally succeeded. Sixty million elemental crystal stones, let’s try out your power!”
Merlin’s expression became solemn, and flames immediately appeared on his body. The flames condensed into a fireball as it floated in the air, and a Thunder-type, Wind-type, and Ice-type spell fused into the fireball.
The fireball in Merlin’s hand had an extremely peculiar color. Although it was only the size of a fist, it contained frightening fluctuations.
“What’s this power?”
Although Merlin knew that the power of the newly cultivated Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities would be improved, after fusing it into spells, the power would increase even more. After all, it was a combination of a perfect-grade spell and a top Pandora Demon Ability.
“Go!”
Merlin casually dropped the combined spell on the ground.
“Boom!”
The entire courtyard shook violently, and at the same time, a terrible shockwave spread in all the directions. Even the Runic Magic Circle surrounding the courtyard was torn to pieces in an instant.
“Rip.”
The Runic Magic Circle was destroyed, and the entire Pavilion of Rarities quaked. Great Wizard Leto rushed to the rear court immediately.
“Wizard Merlin, what’s this?”
The chaos in the rear court looked like it was caused by a great battle. Perhaps only peak Great Wizard could cause this level of destruction.
Seeing Great Wizard Leto’s shocked expression, Merlin shook his head helplessly, and said, “It’s nothing. I was just testing out a spell’s power but didn’t control it properly, which caused some damage to the Pavilion of Rarities. I’ll definitely compensate you!”
Great Wizard Leto looked at Merlin with disbelief and incredulity. Previously, he only feared the Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado behind Merlin, and never cared much about Merlin himself.
However, now it seemed that Legend Zado and the Blackfire Lord’s brilliance were simply too radiant, and covered up Merlin. To be able to become a disciple of a Great Lord, who was also a Potential Wizard in Arcane City, Merlin’s own potential and qualification was terrifying.
“Wizard Merlin is joking. It’s just a courtyard. I’ll ask someone to clean it up immediately!”
Wizard Leto naturally would not ask Merlin for compensation. The Pavilion of Rarities already made quite a profit from the casting tools from before.
Merlin also nodded, and turned to another room.
Through the test earlier, Merlin became aware that the explosive power of four perfect-grade Seventh-level spells coupled with top Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities was comparable to a peak Great Wizard, similar to Darkness Eye.
There was still a very large difference between peak Great Wizards and top Great Wizards. Top Great Wizards were infinitesimally close to Great Legends, and each had their own incredible tricks. A regular Spell Caster would only be able to reach the level of a peak Great Wizard.
Therefore, whether it was Merlin’s combined spells or Darkness Eye, it could only temporarily reach the level of a peak Great Wizard. Perhaps if Merlin had constructed an Eighth-level spell and combined it with a Five-Elemental spell, it would be able to reach the level of a top Great Wizard.
“Phew…”
Merlin let out a long breath and muttered, “I can only get this far for now. Next up, the Saitu Dimension!”
However, before leaving, Merlin took out the illusion bead, and released its restrictions. He could see the situation in the Saitu Dimension by using the illusion bead.
“Whoosh.”
Merlin’s Mind Projection entered the Illusory World, and materialized before Titus.
“Titus, go look outside. After such a long time, I’m afraid you don’t know any of the changes happening outside.”
Merlin calmly said.
“Outside?”
Titus gently closed his eyes, and extended his Mind Power to the illusion bead.
“This… This is outside the Slothful Beast world!”
Titus abruptly stood up. Although it was just a remnant of Mind Power, he could not hide his shock as he could feel the Elements through the illusion bead.
The long-lost Elemental power showed that they were now outside the Slothful Beast world!
Merlin quietly looked at Titus as he knew that the shock was too great. Titus had been in the Slothful Beast world for so long that even after he formed the Illusory World, he had no guarantee of leaving the Slothful Beast world.
Now, he had lost all hope. He had died, and only a trace of Mind Power was left but he had finally left the Slothful Beast world.
After a long moment, Titus’ mood slowly calmed down.
“Wizard Merlin, although I don’t know what method you’ve used to leave the Slothful Beast world, you really did it! I have a request I hope you’ll agree to.”
“Request?”
Merlin frowned.
“Yes, I’ve left my hometown for far too long. I thought I’d never leave the Slothful Beast world… However, it seems like I’ve returned to the Spell Caster civilization now. I implore Wizard Merlin to go to my hometown in the future so that I may gaze upon my hometown again.”
It was a very simple request. Merlin nodded. He did not have any reason to refuse Titus.
“Alright, after I go to the Saitu Dimension, I’ll go to your hometown to have a look when I have time!”
Merlin also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that everything was ready, he should leave for the Saitu Dimension.
“Let’s go!”
Merlin said farewell to the Great Wizard Leto, and directly flew into the vast Void Zone. In the long journey in the Void Zone, Merlin was also more cautious now that Didimoss was not around. After all, there were dangers everywhere in the Void Zone.
