Chapter 614: First Battle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Merlin, Saturn, and five others arrived at the Seely Dimension, they could not believe the scene before them.
Yellow sand danced, and the ground was covered solid boulders like glaciers. Solid rocks piled up one after another, and even the huge mountain peaks were piled up with rocks.
Moreover, the terrifying part was that these rocks were like living creatures and could grow like plants. Some plants had already become rock flowers or rock trees, and they were icy cold. It was like a deathly still world.
This was a world after the Rock Tribe had transformed it. There were no Elements here in the Seely Dimension at all, only rocks that looked icy cold.
The Rock Tribe was a tribe without life. They did not require a dimension with life. The dimensions they lived in were all cold worlds like this one. This suited them the most.
These cold rocks would slowly give birth to another Rock Tribe in the future. This was the basis of the continuation of the Rock Tribe. They were slowly born from countless rocks in the dimensions over a long period of time.
“D*mn it, the Seely Dimension has been reduced to this state. Even if we control the Seely Dimension in the future, we won’t be able to survive here.”
Arrot’s expression darkened as he cursed lowly.
Saturn’s expression was not good either. He looked around and said, “Even if it’s useless, we need to control the Seely Dimension. Otherwise, even more dimensions will be transformed into cold worlds like this by the Rock Tribe! Saving the Seely Dimension means saving even more of our dimensions!”
Everyone nodded. This was also the fundamental reason why there was such a fierce battle between both sides over the Seely Dimension. The Seely Dimension was a pedal in which more Spell Caster dimensions could be reached. Therefore, no matter what, the Seely Dimension could not be lost.
The Seely Dimension was vast yet there was no figure in sight and no signs of life. The Wizards all flew toward a mountain range.
Suddenly, a small hill appeared in front of them. However, when they had passed it, they discovered that it was not a hill but a gigantic tomb. Written on a stone-carved tablet in front of it were the words “Tomb of the Seely people”!
Although the words inscribed into this ghastly tombstone were simple, anyone would understand without a detailed introduction that under this small hill, no one knew how many bodies were buried.
The Seely people were all born in the Seely Dimension. Unfortunately, the Seely people did not walk out of the dimension like the Spell Caster civilization, and step into the Void Zone. They did not become a powerful civilization, and were left at the mercy of the Rock Tribe and the Spell Caster civilization.
Like Spell Casters, the Seely people were a living tribe, so they were naturally opposed to the Rock Tribe. After the Rock Tribe transformed the Seely Dimension, the Seely people were no longer able to survive, and thousands upon thousands of Seely people died. This was one of the sorrows of a weak civilization.
“There are still a few people left from the Seely Dimension who were sent to other Spell Caster civilizations. A few geniuses among them had even become Great Wizards and joined the Spell Caster civilization in the fight against the Rock Tribe. However, their homes can’t be restored…”
Hearing Arrot’s words, everyone seemed to quiet down. The atmosphere became somewhat depressing.
“If we can’t suppress the Rock Tribe, then we Spell Casters might also follow in the steps of the Seely people…”
Saturn’s low voice jolted their hearts awake. Perhaps they still had relaxed moods when first arriving at the front line.
However, now, Merlin and the others felt heavy. This was very possibly a civilization war. From the perspective of civilizations and tribes, both parties were not in the wrong. They were just trying to develop their own civilization, and fight for a place to survive.
There was no right or wrong but there were standpoints. Therefore, this battle was doomed to be a very cruel war!
“Arrot, where do we go now?”
Saturn asked Arrot, who had collected a lot of information regarding the Seely Dimension.
“We should head East now. The Southeast is where our Spell Casters are the most active. Many Spell Casters will go to the Northeast after entering the Seely Dimension. The Rock Tribe’s defenses are generally the strongest in the North, and there are also a few powerful Rock Creatures there. Generally, the situation of our Spell Casters in the Seely Dimension doesn’t look optimistic.”
Arrot frowned while speaking.
“Not optimistic? That’s because the Spell Casters from our Arcane City hadn’t arrived! We’ll head North. We’ll expel those Rock Creatures, and re-occupy the Seely Dimension. We’ll just keep heading North!”
Saturn’s tone was full of determination and arrogance. Almost every Spell Caster who was Potential Wizard from Arcane City were extremely prideful, especially in front of other Spell Casters.
The Spell Caster civilization’s situation was in a bad situation in the Seely Dimension, causing Saturn and the others to feel discontented. As proud Potential Wizards from Arcane City, and forming such a strong team, they were also eager to sweep the Rock Tribe away before the Legends got involved, and regain control of the Seely Dimension.
“What do you think?”
Saturn asked Rael and the others. Although Rael and Saturn still had a competitive relationship, now, Saturn was the strongest being below Legends. He was entirely worthy of being the leader of the group.
“Haha, I don’t have any opinions. Legends from both sides haven’t involved themselves yet, so who else can stand up to us?”
“Indeed. We’ll head North and directly expel the Rock Tribe!”
Those who were able to enter Arcane City were all very confident. The seven of them as a group had two preeminent Great Wizards and three peak Great Wizards. With such a team, as long as Legends were not involved, they could be considered to be the finest team, able to sweep everything away.
“Alright, since everyone has agreed, we’ll head North!”
Saturn waved his hand, and everyone started to fly toward the North.
After flying for around an hour, a huge noise suddenly sounded from the front, accompanied by intense Elemental fluctuations. The wind roared wildly, and fiery red lights shot up to the sky.
“What a powerful Elemental fluctuation. It must be one of our Spell Caster teams engaging with the Rock Tribe. Everyone, let’s hurry!”
Saturn raised his head to look at the red lights in the sky. The Elemental fluctuations were just like guiding lights to the Spell Casters. Thus, they sped up and flew to the direction of the Elemental fluctuation.
…
At the foot of an empty hill were five Spell Casters with disheveled hair, looking very pitiful.
Among the five Spell Casters, three were Great Wizards. They were not ordinary Great Wizards but relatively powerful Great Wizards, second only to peak Great Wizards.
The other two were Ninth-level Spell Casters. They were both female Wizards but they seemed to be particularly proficient in runes. These two female Ninth-level Wizards were arranging a Runic Magic Circle, protecting the five of them.
However, even so, their current situation was quite precarious. They were faced with hundreds of Rock Creatures led by five Rock Creatures comparable to peak Great Wizards.
In the Seely Dimension, the Rock Tribe had already occupied an absolute advantage in numbers. After all, they had prepared for a long time, and the Spell Casters’ strongest force, like Arcane City, had not arrived at the front line yet.
“Hold on a little longer. I’ve already sent out a signal. I believe there’ll definitely be reinforcements.”
A white-robed Wizard among the five Spell Casters gnashed his teeth, obviously under great pressure. Outside were countless Rock Creatures frantically attacking, especially the five Rock Creatures that were comparable to peak Great Wizards. Each time they pounded the Runic Magic Circle, it seemed that it would cause the Runic Magic Circle to sway as if it could collapse at any moment.
“Reinforcements? How could there be reinforcements? In the Seely Dimension, all Spell Caster teams are fighting for themselves. The difference in strength between us and the Rock Tribe is just too great. There won’t be reinforcements coming for us…”
Another Spell Caster said with a look of despair.
The atmosphere immediately became dreary. Indeed, they had heard of too many teams that were destroyed in the Seely Dimension. Now, they were about to become one of those teams.
“Ka-cha.”
Fine cracks finally appeared on the Runic Magic Circle, and spread rapidly. The Runic Magic Circle looked like a spider web at that time, with many cracks spreading across it.
The two female Wizards paled, and said in trembling voices, “It won’t hold on. The Runic Magic Circle can’t take it anymore!”
“It won’t hold on? Then, we’ll fight. It’ll be our last stand…”
The three Great Wizards made their preparations. The Elemental fluctuations on their bodies faintly stirred up violent winds.
“Wait, leader, we seem to have reinforcements. There are seven Spell Caster fluctuations behind us. A Spell Caster team came for us!”
The two female Wizards suddenly cried out, a trace of joy revealing themselves on their faces.
“There’s a Spell Caster team?”
The three Great Wizards looked behind, and sure enough, seven Spell Casters appeared behind them, swiftly heading toward them.
“It’s only seven Wizards… They should be a team that just happened to be nearby. We’ll hold on for a little longer. Their numbers are few but these Rock Creatures are incredibly strong. It won’t be easy for us to escape from these Rock Creatures!”
The three Great Wizards did not dare to relax. They were very clear that their team was considered to be relatively powerful among the Spell Caster teams in the Seely Dimension. The team coming to help them might not be too strong, and might only be able to barely attract some of the Rock Creatures’ attention. If they wanted to break through, they would still have to rely on themselves!
Very quickly, seven unfamiliar Spell Casters approached the five surrounded Spell Casters. The Rock Tribe sent two Rock Creatures comparable to peak Great Wizards, leading a total of thirty Rock Creatures to pounce on the unfamiliar Spell Caster team.
“Haha, it really is the Rock Tribe! Saturn, it’s the first time we’re meeting Rock Creatures. Allow me.”
Wizard Rael had an expression of eagerness. Saturn glanced at the thirty Rock Creatures, two of which were Rock Creatures comparable to peak Great Wizards. Although they could be considered strong, to a preeminent Great Wizard like Rael, it was nothing at all.
Therefore, Saturn nodded and said, “Wizard Rael, this is our first fight. Make it a swift victory!”
“Haha, don’t worry.”
Saying that, Rael went ahead to face the enemies alone.
“Is he mad? There are two Rock Creatures comparable to peak Great Wizards”
“He must be a Spell Caster who had just arrived in the Seely Dimension, and thinks that these Rock Creatures are as weak as the foreign tribes that they usually kill in border areas… They’re finished. Even if they don’t die, they’ll suffer heavy losses. We’ll have to find a way out by ourselves.”
Seeing the unfamiliar Spell Caster team suddenly send one Spell Caster to fight, the five Spell Casters felt cold. There were too many Spell Casters who had underestimated the Rock Tribe, and led to the collapse of the entire team.
Only after experiencing several deadly battles would a Spell Caster finally understand how cruel this war was.
However, just as they finished speaking, from that lone Spell Caster body, a gigantic Fireball emerged from the sky like a palm blocking out the sky. There were even Wind-type, Ice-type, and other Elements fused inside it.
“Boom.”
When the palm fell, everyone could not help but feel shocked as if the palm had slapped the bottom of their hearts.
The five Spell Casters openly gaped, and stared dumbstruck at the “reckless” figure who “did not know the immensity between heaven and earth”.
With just one palm, the thirty Rock Creatures on the ground were completely crushed into powder. They scattered in the breeze with just a gentle blow…
“A preeminent Great Wizard. He’s a preeminent Great Wizard! Haha, what kind of reinforcement Spell Caster team did we encounter?”
The eyes of the five Spell Casters glazed over before, but now, they became extremely enthusiastic.
