A Wizard’s Secret

“Who are you? This is a restricted area. You’re not allowed to come near Sky-Piercing Peak. Leave now!”

The few figures in the distance were yet to arrive but their voices had traveled ahead of them. They were Spell Casters from the Mill clan, and their tones were brutish.

At this moment, Merlin and the others had accidentally triggered a Runic Magic Circle, so they were surrounded by it. Although the Runic Magic Circle had been meticulously laid out by the Mill clan, its workmanship was quite shoddy and thus, did not contain a lot of power.

Merlin could not be bothered to use the Runic Heartprint, so he simply used spell power to break it open forcefully.

“Incinerating Fire!”

A wisp of fire flew out from Merlin’s finger and subsequently burned bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, a large fire was raging around them. The pale white flames emitted a frighteningly high temperature. Under the intense burning of Incinerating Fire, the Runic Magic Circle glowed dimly and disappeared.

“Whoosh.”

Merlin and the others appeared once again at the base of the mountain. The few figures flying toward them from afar were slightly astonished. Naturally, they were aware of the Runic Magic Circle that surrounded Sky-Piercing Peak. The fact that these few Wizards appeared meant that they had managed to break the Runic Magic Circle.

“Who are you? This is a restricted area belonging to the Mill clan. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission!”

From the foot of the mountain, an elderly Wizard flew toward them. He peered at Merlin and the others with a cautious look.

Merlin regarded the Spell Casters from the Mill clan coldly and said, “I need to enter Sky-Piercing Peak!”

Once he finished speaking, Merlin did not spare these Wizards another look, and took off toward Sky-Piercing Peak. Every moment he spent dithering, it would consume more power from the Maxim, so he was not willing to waste his time on the Mill clan.

“Swish.”

Seeing that Merlin and the others had completely ignored them, the Spell Casters from the Mill clan looked slightly enraged. Before they could utter another word, they sensed that the Elemental fluctuations emitted by Wizards Ernie and Watson.

“Seventh-level!”

A trace of shock appeared on the face of the elderly Wizard. These were Seventh-level Spell Casters. The Elemental fluctuations which emitted from both their bodies were characteristic of Seventh-level Spell Casters.

The fact that the two followers were Seventh-level Spell Casters, accompanied by their respectful behavior toward Merlin, the elderly Wizard could not help but feel slightly shocked. The words in his mouth died, and he could only watch wide-eyed at Merlin and the others flying toward Sky-Piercing Peak.

“Sky-Piercing Peak is the foundation of the existence of our clan. They mustn’t be allowed to enter freely! However, they have at least two Seventh-level Spell Casters, so we can only request the Seventh-level Wizards to act.”    You’re reading on NovelFull .Tks!

The Mill clan was a formidable Spell Caster clan. Although they did not have a Ninth-level Spell Caster like the Dark Magic Region to safeguard the fort, they had a number of Seventh-level Spell Casters!

These Seventh-level Spell Casters were in charge of protecting the status of the entire Mill clan, so unless it was a truly dire situation, they would not be called upon.

However, right now, Merlin and the others were adamant about entering Sky-Piercing Peak. As it was the foundation of the existence of the Mill clan, the secret of Sky-Piercing Peak must not be discovered by others…

Thinking along these lines, the elderly Wizard quickly flew toward the Mill clan at the foot of the mountain.

…

In mid-air, Wizard Ernie’s Mind Power was constantly surrounding the mountain, so naturally, he noticed the departure of the elderly Wizard.

“Master, the Wizards from the Mill clan has left but I’m afraid they won’t give up so easily!”

Wizard Ernie cautioned Merlin carefully.

“Don’t mind them!”

Merlin’s voice was icy. He was completely unconcerned about the Mill clan. If they tried to stop him, then he would no longer hold back. He was starting to like bloodshed.

He knew that this was due to the subtle influence of Darkness Eye but he was unable to control it.

“Oh? There’s a change?”

Merlin paid close attention to the two volumes of the Neverending Book in his hands. When he was at the foot of the mountain, there was no change to the Neverending Book. However now, at mid-level, the two volumes of the Neverending Book were emitting a soft glow. This confirmed that Sky-Piercing Peak contained the third volume of the Neverending Book.

Since there was now a clue, Merlin did not hesitate and sped up toward the peak of the mountain. Nevertheless, this mountain was called the Sky-Piercing Peak for a reason. Despite Merlin flying into the clouds at an incredible speed, he was yet to reach the peak.

“Hoo…”

At last, a few silhouettes landed on the peak of the mountain, which were none other than Merlin and the others. Due to the incredible height of Sky-Piercing Peak which was way above the clouds, there was a strong, cold air that blew in their faces like a sharp knife, causing pangs of pain on their faces.

Fortunately, all of them had Defensive spells, and Merlin’s physique had been primed to an impressive level, so none of them were bothered by the terrible conditions at the peak.

Merlin assessed the surroundings of the peak with his gaze. The ground was littered with dents and dips like it had experienced a big battle.

However, in one corner of the peak, there was still a patch of even ground. The area was shrouded with Runic Magic Circles, obviously placed there by the Mill clan.

The entire Sky-Piercing Peak had been occupied by the Mill clan for many years, so they must have discovered something unique about it. Merlin was thus worried that the third volume of the Neverending Book, and the Maxim left behind by the mysterious Wizard in Sky-Piercing Peak had been discovered.

When Merlin approached the Runic Magic Circles, the two volumes of the Neverending Book in his hands glowed even brighter than before. It was clear that the third volume of the Neverending Book probably lay inside the Runic Magic Circles. Otherwise, these two volumes would not display such a reaction.

These Runic Magic Circles were much more complicated than the ones at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, Merlin had no choice but to rely upon the power of the Runic Heartprint. In between his brows, the Runic Heartprint loomed faintly as it began to examine the Runic Magic Circles.

“Hum.”

Once the Runic Heartprint was activated, under the veil of its power, the structures of the Runic Magic Circles were all revealed before Merlin, so he could easily break through the Runic Magic Circles.

As Merlin was preparing to break through the Runic Magic Circles, a few enormous Mind Powers suddenly appeared and swiftly locked onto Merlin and the others.

“Oh?”

Merlin turned urgently and cast his gaze toward the sky in a distance.

Wizard Ernie and Wizard Watson were both sporting an ugly look because it was their responsibility to be the lookout. However, now, the opponents’ Mind Powers were sweeping the peak of the mountain with an air of superiority. It was obvious that the opponents’ Mind Powers, and perhaps their abilities, were more powerful than Ernie and Watson.

“Master, someone is coming!”

Wizards Ernie and Watson immediately became alert. The Spell Casters who were coming were not simple. There were three of them, and all three were Seventh-level Spell Casters. They were obviously the strongest forces in the Mill clan.

“Swish swish swish.”

Soon, three figures descended at the peak of the mountain. Dressed in purple robes, these Spell Casters held a piercing look in their eyes. The strong elemental fluctuations on their bodies clearly did not hide their statuses as powerful Seventh-level Spell Casters!

“Sky-Piercing Peak is a restricted area belonging to the Mill clan. We hope these Wizards can leave, else you’ll have to bear the consequences!”

The leading Wizard took a good look at Merlin, Ernie, and the others, and a cautious look appeared in his gaze, so his tone was very polite.

“Bear the consequences?”

Wizard Ernie sneered and took a step forward. “There’s something my Master needs at Sky-Piercing Peak!”

“Master?”

The three Seventh-level Wizards from the Mill clan were slightly taken aback. The fact that a Seventh-level Wizard referred Merlin as “Master” showed that he was the one to be feared the most.

Therefore, the three of them shifted their gazes onto Merlin.

Merlin frowned. The third volume of the Neverending Book had been located, so he could no longer be bothered with this nonsense from the Mill clan. A violent emotion began to bubble inside his heart.

“Glacier Country, suppress!”

“Boom!”

Once Merlin’s command fell from his lips, the surrounding air in the atmosphere froze, and a layer of translucent light ray enveloped these Spell Casters.

“Crack.”

Even the ground began to freeze. The expressions on the Seventh-level Spell Casters from the Mill clan shifted quickly when they felt their bodies turning stiff.

Glacier Country was a special Pandora Demon Ability invented by the Legend of Ice. Although it had not been useful against Wizard Blackmurk’s Alchemy Creature, it was simply because the Alchemy Creature was too strong. Using it against these three Seventh-level Spell Casters from the Mill clan, on the other hand, was an easy task.

These three Seventh-level Wizards did not possess any Pandora Demon Ability, so they were considered the weakest of all Seventh-level Wizards. The Wizard robes on their bodies as well as their spells were all useless against the suppressing powers of Glacier Country.

“Fire!”

Merlin slapped his hand down mercilessly, and endless flames burst to life in an instant, which turned Glacier Country into a sea of flames.

With the suppression and binding power of Glacier Country in addition to Incinerating Fire, this ruthless combination would be hard-pressed to counter even for a Seventh-level Wizard with Fusion Pandora Demon Ability, let alone the weakest Seventh-level Wizards.

Therefore, the three Seventh-level Wizard who had braved the forefront did not even get a chance to act before they were turned into ashes among the flames.

“Ernie, Watson, Number Three, all of you wait here. Anyone who comes to the peak, kill them!”

Merlin withdrew his Incinerating Fire, and Glacier Country also slowly disappeared. However, Ernie and Watson were both still staring wide-eyed, feeling shaken to their cores.

Those three from the the Mill clan were Seventh-level Wizards. Though they were weak and did not have Pandora Demon Abilities, they were still Seventh-level Wizards!

These powerful Seventh-level Wizards were killed by Merlin with just a wave of his hand and were not even able to put up the slightest trace of resistance. Merlin’s tactics once again made Ernie and Watson feel overwhelmed.

“Yes, Master!”

Despite their hearts being shaken to the core, Ernie and Watson did not dare to neglect or disobey Merlin’s orders.

“Fuh…”

Merlin exhaled lengthily. Without the harassment from the Mill clan, a burden was lifted, so he could now search for the third volume of the Neverending Book at Sky-Piercing Peak.

Hence, Merlin quickly turned around, and squinted his eyes at the complicated Runic Magic Circles on the peak.
