Chapter 612: A Team of Seven!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the public square of Arcane City, Spell Casters stood in tightly packed crowds. At the front were a few Great Honored Legends, behind whom were some Great Legends, and at the back were the Spell Casters of Arcane City.
It was the first time Merlin had seen so many Great Legends gathered together. The terrifying bursts of Elemental fluctuations and force of Maxims practically caused the Spell Models in his body to tremble slightly. This was a natural suppressive effect.
Besides Merlin, some other Spell Casters wore uncomfortable expressions as well. Evidently, they were similarly affected.
“Wizard Merlin, come over here.”
Wizard Saturn said to Merlin. Merlin looked at the crowd, which contained Arrot and the rest who had grouped together, so he nodded and headed over.
“Wizard Merlin, what did the Legend Zado say to you? Did he mention anything about the Rock Tribe?”
The plump Wizard Arrot, upon seeing Merlin coming over, asked eagerly.
After a moment of consideration, Merlin felt that it did not matter if he told Saturn and the rest, so he nodded. “The situation is bad indeed. The Rock Tribe has likely prepared for this a long time. I’m afraid that a civilization war is necessary at this point!”
“A civilization war!!!”
Everyone was astounded at this phrase, and countless thoughts flashed across their minds. Who knew how many powerful Spell Casters had been buried behind this phrase?
After Merlin spoke, Saturn and the rest fell silent, unable to speak. The atmosphere became rather stifling.
After a short moment, a vortex appeared above the square. Wild winds spun around as a figure emerged from the center of the vortex.
“Boom.”
As soon as this figure appeared, the entire square became restless. Many Honored Legends stared at this figure with trembling gazes.
“Who is he?”
“What a formidable force. Although the space in Arcane City isn’t that solid, no one would dare to traverse through space in Arcane City.”
Many Wizards did not recognize the figure who had suddenly appeared from the vortex but when Merlin looked, he shuddered fiercely.
“Huh? Wizard Merlin, you know who this is?”
The observant Wizard Saturn seemed to notice the change in Merlin’s expression, and questioned softly.
Merlin’s eyes were fixed stubbornly on the figure descending from the vortex as he said hoarsely, “If I’m not wrong, he must be the wind avatar of the Arcane Wizard Setoh!”
“Arcane Wizard Setoh?”
When Saturn, Arrot, and the rest heard Merlin’s reply, their mouths fell open, and their eyes shone with an incredulous light.
“It must be the wind avatar of the Arcane Wizard Setoh! It’s rumored that the Arcane Wizard Setoh has many avatars, and this is one of them!”
Merlin continued speaking. The one who had gone to the Slothful Beast to save Merlin was the Arcane Wizard Setoh’s spatial avatar. As for the Arcane Wizard Setoh’s real body, he must be overseeing things at the actual frontlines.
When the Arcane Wizard Setoh’s avatar landed, the entire square burst into an uproar. The Ultimate Arcane Wizard was a pillar of the entire Spell Caster civilization, and the three Great Arcane Wizards served as the guardians of the Spell Caster civilization.
The Arcane Wizard Setoh was one of the three Great Arcane Wizards, the final one to become an Ultimate Arcane Wizard. Nonetheless, his level of prestige was not any lesser compared to the other two Arcane Wizards. In fact, he was the one who suggested the establishment of the three great Arcane Cities.
Therefore, only did the Spell Caster civilization flourish from day to day.
“Everyone!”
Although this was simply an avatar of the Arcane Wizard Setoh, to the crowds of Spell Casters in the square, he was no different from the real body as he still represented the Ultimate Arcane Wizard.
“Everyone, I’ve summoned you here today. I believe everyone has already learned of the news. The Rock Tribe has already erupted in vicious conflict against our Spell Caster civilization in the frontlines of the Seely Dimension, and we’ve lost a few dimensions in succession! Therefore, Spell Casters above the level of Legends should each return and gather Spell Casters above the Seventh-level, and hurry to the frontlines where the Seely Dimension is, in the shortest time possible! I hope everyone keeps in mind that this is a real war, and is likely to develop into a civilization war!”
“Rumble.”
Even the Great Legends were now feeling flabbergasted. In the stories of all civilizations, a “civilization war” was something terrifying and brutal.
Following that, these Great Legends took their leave, each returning to their own dimension to begin rounding up Spell Casters above the Seventh-level. When these Great Legends had gone away, news of the war that had erupted between the Spell Caster civilization and the Rock Tribe civilization would quickly be spread.
After the Great Legends left, the square was only left with a small group. These were Spell Casters of Arcane City. They had been summoned by the Arcane Wizards through various methods. Perhaps some still had not gotten the message while some were still on their way back but there should not be many left. Most of the Potential Wizards of Arcane City were now congregated in the square.
The Arcane Wizard Setoh looked toward these Potential Wizards in the square, and his voice boomed impressively, filled with gravity, “You’re all Potential Wizards of Arcane City, the most outstanding Spell Casters among the infinite dimensions. At first you’re the future of our Spell Caster civilization. However, a war between civilizations has begun. As a member of the Spell Casters, you should contribute your strength. Potential Wizards above the Seventh-level must head to the frontlines and enter the fight! Nonetheless, you can form your own teams. After two hours, I’ll personally send you to the frontlines.”
“Two hours?”
Many Spell Casters felt that this was far too short a time but with this command from the Arcane Wizard, they dared not delay any longer. Many Spell Casters began to team up with Wizards with whom they were mutually acquainted.
Some groups had only two or three while others had seven to eight.
“Wizard Merlin, I, Arrot, Wizard Rael, Olga, Seddon, Vic – seven of us in a team. What do you think?”
Merlin carefully looked at them. These Wizards were the ones with the best abilities among the same batch, and could be considered the strongest combination!
Both Saturn and Rael were most preeminent Great Wizards, Saturn in particular, who was the strongest existence beneath Legends. As for Vic, Seddon, and Olga, three of them were exceptional too, all having fused their Spell Models to become Great Wizards. In one leap, they had become beings on par with peak Great Wizards.
Presently, judged solely on Spell Caster level, only Arrot and Merlin were slightly inferior, being Ninth-level Spell Casters.
“Haha, with seven of us, if we’re at the frontlines, we’ll surely be the scariest team. Two preeminent Great Wizards, and three peak Great Wizards. Even if Arrot and Merlin aren’t Great Wizards for now, once they are, Wizard Merlin would be the most preeminent Great Wizard, even the mightiest existence below Legends! Arrot can become a peak Great Wizard too. With power like this, I bet the Rock Tribe would be frightened out of their wits, haha…”
Wizard Rael was as forthright as ever, showing not the slightest sign of unhappiness over the fact that Arrot and Merlin were merely Ninth-level Spell Casters.
“Very well, we’ll do it this way then. We’ll form a team, and support and assist each other. First, we’d better sign a contract!”
Saturn immediately took out a sheet of contract paper. When Spell Casters formed a team, no matter how close they were, only by signing a contract would they really be united in heart and mind. Otherwise, troubles were bound to arise, especially when joining in a war against foreign tribes, which meant they would be faced with constant danger.
“Okay, we’ll sign a contract! We voluntarily form a team. We’ll support and assist each other. Between team members, no matter what the situation, no one must be abandoned…”
The stipulations of the contract were detailed. Evidently, Saturn, Rael, and the rest were very experienced. Conversely, for Merlin, when he looked at this contract, he felt that it hugely differed from the contents of the oath of the Ultimate Order between foreign tribes in the open territory.
The biggest difference was that, between team members, no one was left behind. No matter what danger they were facing, they must face it together!
“Wizard Merlin, is there anything else you’d like to add?”
Saturn saw that Merlin was lost in thought, and asked softly.
“This contract is well drawn up. There’s nothing else I wish to add.”
Following that, Merlin extracted a portion of his Mind Power, and signed the contract. Instantly, seven of them were bound by the contract. From now on, they would battle side by side for a very long time.
“Alright, the two hours are up. Everyone, follow me.”
The square boomed with the voice of the Ultimate Arcane Wizard once more. Following that, he stretched out one hand and an extremely enormous flying ship appeared. It flickered with many Runic Magic Circles and was more than a hundred times bigger than Merlin’s Aurora Ship.
Moreover, what was significant was that it carried the force of a Maxim. This was a casting tool that was far more powerful than anything Merlin had ever seen.
“Absorb!”
A vortex appeared on the giant flying ship and immediately stretched to the square. The teeming crowds of Potential Wizards were sucked onto the flying ship. There was no lack of preeminent Great Wizards among these Potential Wizards but they too were unable to resist at all.
“Boom.”
With that, the flying ship shuddered, and started to leave Arcane City slowly, flying into the black, icy depths of the Void Zone.
Within the flying Ship, Merlin looked at his surroundings. He was with Saturn and the rest.
“Teacher Zado, we Potential Wizards have strong abilities but we can’t compare to Great Legends. What meaning is there in sending us to the frontlines for us to join the civilization war?”
At last, Merlin could not help but put this question to the Maxim avatar of the Legend Zado in his Spatial Ring. From his perspective, no matter how many Ninth-level Spell Casters or Great Wizards, they would not be much of influence against Great Legends.
He did not think that with these few Great Wizards, even preeminent ones, they would be able to defeat a Great Legend. In the open territory, Nestia, Kubale, and Luca were all the mightiest existences below Legends but they were crushed by a single palm of a mysterious Giant King.
The disparity between Legends and those below them was gargantuan. This was not something that could be remedied by a sheer number unless they were the most demonic genius Spell Casters like Alcra or Tuota. Nonetheless, in the entire Tree Tribe civilization, there was only one Alcra.
“Hehe, what purpose, you ask? All of you serve a great function. If you perform well, and thoroughly suppress the Rock Tribe, this war of civilizations might not necessarily take place!”
The Legend Zado’s face was calm, and his eyes probed into Merlin’s meaningfully. Conversely, Merlin felt even more baffled.
