A Wizard’s Secret

“The toughest battle?”

Merlin was slightly confused but then he noticed that two unfamiliar foreign tribe members had appeared in the dimension, and were flying toward Alcra at breakneck speed.

“Whiz whiz.”

The two figures were extremely fast, especially the golden ray, which arrived first before Merlin and Alcra. A burst of golden light later, there was a Roc with golden feathers.

“Alcra!”

“Bordeaux, you finally turned up!”

As the few mightiest existences of the foreign tribes in the open territory that were ranked just below a Legend, how would Alcra not know of the Feather Tribe’s Bordeaux? Although Merlin had never heard of him before, seeing the gravity in Alcra’s expression gave him a subtle feeling that this golden Roc was not simple.

“No, this time I’m not alone. Your name still carries some weight, Alcra, which makes us cautious. Therefore, Luca is here as well!”

Bordeaux’s glance landed on Merlin for a split second but he did not pay much attention. He shifted all his attention onto Alcra.

“Luca of the Rock Tribe?”

Alcra’s expression turned grave. He quietly passed a message to Merlin. “Wizard Merlin, this is troublesome. Luca of the Rock Tribe has tremendous strength whereas Bordeaux of the Feather Tribe has unbeatable speed! The combination of this duo would be even more difficult to deal with than those hundred over powerful foreign tribes. They’re both the mightiest existences below a Legend in the open territory!”

“Mightiest existences below a Legend?”

Merlin raised his head fiercely, and his gaze landed on Bordeaux. Soon, another figure also arrived. The newcomer was indeed a Rock Creature, so he must be Luca mentioned by Bordeaux.

The ability to be acknowledged as the mightiest existences below a Legend was not a simple feat that could be achieved by an average being. In the open territory, those who were comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard were small in ratio but not few in numbers. Nevertheless, not every existence who was comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard could boast to have such recognition. Surely, these were the most outstanding ones among the preeminent Great Wizards.

Perhaps, Alcra, who was currently rooted in the dimension, and using the Elemental Origin as its power source, could now also be considered one of the mightiest existences below a Legend.

Such beings were definitely earth-shattering geniuses from their respective civilizations. Once they had managed to break through, they would immediately become a very powerful Legend!

“Less nonsense, attack!”

The moment Luca arrived, he glared at Alcra with a vengeful expression, and roared loudly. His entire body swelled up and was matchlessly rock-hard. Then, a giant hand began to make peculiar noises in the air.

“Bang bang bang.”

Luca’s speed was also very fast. Faced against the all-enclosing, thick root blockade, the golden Roc Bordeaux transformed into a golden ray in a flash, gently grabbed hold of Luca, and escaped through the gaps in the blockade.

However, that was not all. Another loud rumble sounded like the entire ground was shaking. Luca had used his violent strength to tear apart a massive hole in Alcra’s web of roots from the outside.

This was a blockade that could not be broken by over a hundred powerful foreign tribes but was easily broken by Luca.

Once the two of them started attacking, Alcra was at a disadvantage. He could only endure their hits directly. Bordeaux’s speed was too fast so it was impossible to target him whereas Luca’s power was too destructive. The two of them had joined forces to suppress Alcra.

“Illusion!”

From Merlin’s body, an unparalleled Mind Power exploded. The enormous Mind Power came like a storm, silently shrouding Bordeaux and Luca in an instant.

Since the two of them were among the mightiest existences below a Legend, it might not be possible to trap them but it would affect them a little, enough to allow Alcra to recalibrate himself.

The silent and invisible Mind Power came completely unsuspected. In such a situation, a Mind Power attack was definitely much better than a spell attack.

“Huh? Hallucinating spell?”

Bordeaux and Luca, who were wildly attacking, slowed at once. They felt the influence of a Hallucinating spell, and immediately thought of the Mind Power Masters among the Spell Casters.

In the early open territory, Spell Casters were one of the more powerful forces. Naturally, there were also some Mind Power Masters in their midst. However, these Mind Power Master were only able to affect those foreign tribes under the level of Great Wizards at most. They had never encountered a Hallucinating spell that could affect a Great Wizard, not to mention a preeminent Great Wizard.

Influenced by the Hallucinating spell, Luca could not resume his wild attack. Alcra leveraged on this opportunity to weave a large web and trap Luca and Bordeaux. It was almost three layers on the outside and three more layers on the inside.

“Wizard Merlin, well done! Let’s work together and fight Bordeaux first. Since he’s trapped, his speed won’t be of much use!”

Alcra had even trapped Luca and Bordeaux separately. So, despite Bordeaux flying around to attack Alcra’s blockade, he was unable to break the root system like Luca.

“Darkness Demon Spirit!”

Merlin wielded Darkness Eye and darkness descended. The terrifying Darkness Demon Spirit stepped out. With a strong howl, it began to attack Bordeaux together with Alcra.

“Luca, what are you doing? Without my speed, you won’t be able to defeat the two of them either! D*mn it, he’s a powerful Mind Power Master. It’s not surprising that Alcra would share the Dimension’s Core with a weakly Spell Caster.”

Bordeaux was constantly evading in the shrinking space but Alcra was also continuously reducing the space, so Bordeaux’s speed gradually became useless.

“Haha, Alcra, this bit of strength won’t be able to trap me!”

Luca laughed aloud, and the rock surface on his body shined like lustrous metal. His body seemed to grow even bigger. With a loud roar, Luca slammed a violent punch against the thick root network.

“Snap.”

The cage made from countless roots was immediately smashed, forming a large gaping hole. The aftershocks of the punch also flew viciously toward the Darkness Demon Spirit.

“Bang.”

The powerful Darkness Demon Spirit was crushed by Luca upon the first encounter. It turned into a puff of darkness elements, and disappeared without a trace. Even Merlin’s Darkness Eye seemed to have sustained such huge damage that Merlin’s palm was quivering slightly.

With just one encounter, his Darkness Eye was grievously injured!

There was indeed a huge gap between the mightiest existences below a Legend and someone comparable to a peak Great Wizard. It was not surprising then that neither Bordeaux nor Luca paid much attention to Merlin. This was because without Merlin’s Mind Power Hallucinating spells, he was considered insignificant in the open territory.

Luca’s entire body had transformed into hard granite, which was his strongest state. Alcra mobilized hundreds and thousands of thick roots to lash violently on Luca’s body. At Alcra’s current level, every single strand of root could wield at least the power of a peak Great Wizard, so with hundreds and thousands of roots, even Luca would not be able to avoid injuries.

“Slap slap slap.”

Alcra had gone berserk. This time, it was a fight to the death. If Luca managed to save Bordeaux, then with Bordeaux’s speed coupled with their vigilance toward Merlin’s Hallucinating spells, it would be extremely difficult to trap them again.

Therefore, this was not the time to hold back.

Each root was capable of lashing Luca into a shudder but Luca was even tougher. He continued to attack Alcra wildly, and stepped closer to Bordeaux.

“Haha, Alcra, you can’t bind us!”

With Luca’s loud howl, finally, a huge apparition rose behind him and slammed a fist onto the root network. The root network snapped and broke in an instant, revealing Bordeaux who was trapped inside.

“Whiz.”

Bordeaux carried Luca and flew away at once. They stood in a distance, better prepared this time. It would be highly challenging to trap them again.

“Hehe, a Mind Power Master. Alcra, are you planning to retain this dimension just by relying on an insignificant Mind Power Master?”

Luca’s deep voice reverberated in the air for a long time.

Merlin stood next to Alcra, both their expressions darkened.

“We’re in trouble. Merlin, your attack is too weak so it’s not threatening to both of them. Right now, they’ve discovered your Hallucinating spells. With added vigilance on their part, I’m afraid it won’t be effective anymore.”

Alcra also knew the trouble that awaited them. Seeing as they were unable to kill Bordeaux who possessed unmatched speed, they were now at a disadvantage. The situation had turned critical.

“If we give our all, there’s still a chance, isn’t it?”

Merlin narrowed his eyes, staring at Luca and Bordeaux in the distance. Currently, the critical point was Bordeaux. They had to kill Bordeaux first. Without Bordeaux’s speed, they could deal with Luca slowly. Sooner or later, there would be an opportunity to kill him.

However, trapping Bordeaux again would take every effort from both of them, Alcra in particular.

“Even if we have to sustain serious injuries, we must bind Bordeaux and kill him first! Yes, we definitely still have a chance!”

Alcra also appeared to be determined. His cold gaze landed on Bordeaux, prepared to engage in a huge fight.

“Boom.”

Suddenly, the entire dimension shook slightly. Subsequently, an almost one-kilometer tall giant invaded the dimension, and rapidly approached the battlefield.

At the same time, following behind the giant was a double-decker ship. On it stood a white-robed Spell Caster with an icy gaze, looking at Merlin and the others with a bemused expression.

“Bordeaux, Luca, seems like you haven’t gotten rid of Alcra, so we’re not too late!”

The white-robed Spell Caster on the ship laughed.

Seeing the arrival of the giant and the white-robed Spell Caster, both Bordeaux and Luca were sporting sour looks.

“D*mn it, it’s the giant Nestia and the Spell Caster Kubale. They’ve managed to rush over in time! It’s all because of that Mind Power Master. If not for him, we wouldn’t have been delayed for so long and have killed Alcra long ago. Then, we would’ve controlled the dimension and seized its ruling rights!”

Luca grumbled under his breath, full of disgruntlement toward the giant Nestia and the Spell Caster Kubale. The giant Nestia and Spell Caster Kubale were similarly also the mightiest existences below a Legend, so any of them had the power to change this battle.

“Two more beings…”

Alcra and Merlin exchanged a look. The situation was becoming more complicated. Previously, they were prepared to give their all but now, it would be useless. Even if they had managed to kill Bordeaux, they would not be able to compete with the three remaining mightiest existences below a Legend.

In an instant, the six of them were divided into three factions, turning the situation precarious.
