A Wizard’s Secret
chapter-251

"Haya, Emily, let's quickly move further away. It's really too dangerous here."

Shireen looked at the chaotic scene and something tightened in her heart. The two large Spell Caster clans were in a skirmish now, and it was a battle between those First-level, Second-level, Third-level, and even Fourth-level Spell Casters. It was terrifying. If they were not careful and were caught up in the aftermath of the battle, none of them would be able to defend themselves.

Therefore, it would have been wise to distance themselves from the battle.

Seeing that Emma did not move, her face was still filled with a hopeful look, Shireen shook her head and said, "Emma, your teacher is a Spell Caster from the Dark Magic Region, perhaps he hasn't even come to Tolle City in the first place. Although the first volume of the Neverending Book attracted a lot of attention, it would not bother the Wizards from Spell Caster organizations. How about you follow me to my clan, and I'll help you look for him."

Emma's eyes brightened, and she broke out into a smile. "Thank you so much, Wizard Shireen. I don't have much hope, but I didn't want to miss any chance possible."

After that, Emma followed behind Shireen and they gradually made their way away from Shadison Manor.

…

"Merlin, what's wrong?"

Laurinka asked Merlin softly, a doubtful expression on her face.

Merlin retracted his gaze. He thought that he had just seen a familiar figure in a moment of distraction, but he could not figure out who they were. When he wanted to look for that person, they had already disappeared.

"It's nothing."

Merlin shook his head lightly, following which his gaze landed on the Spell Casters from the Shadison and Doret clan. At the moment, although the Doret clan had two Fourth-level Spell Casters, there should not be much of a problem with Wizard Gill around.

Merlin could see that Wizard Gill was brimming with extraordinary confidence. He was no average Fourth-level Spell Caster.

However, Merlin knew that the Shadison clan was now in danger because the news that the first volume of the Neverending book held clues about the second and third volume had begun to spread. Whether this matter was true or not, it would still greatly arouse the interest of some roaming Wizards.

Therefore, there were some Third-level Spell Casters in the crowd whose eyes were flickering unsteadily towards the crowd of Spell Casters from the Shadison clan. Perhaps these Third-level Spell Casters would make their move during the height of the battle between these two clans.

What was even more worrying were those Fourth-level Spell Casters who had still not shown themselves. If they made their move, Wizard Gill might be hard-pressed to fight them off no matter how strong he was.

This was the true crisis, which was dormant for now. Wizard Rhind and Wizard Gill must have already had some inkling of this, as they wore grave looks on their faces. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"Merlin, is the clan elder and Wizard Gill in danger now?"

Laurinka blinked her pretty wide eyes lightly and suddenly questioned Merlin.

Merlin shot her a look and mumbled wordlessly to himself, before he responded in a grave tone, "The Neverending Book is not something the Shadison clan will be able to possess for long…"

Laurinka's face darkened as she had understood the implication of Merlin's words. The Shadison clan was set on possessing the Neverending Book and even though they had disclosed the spells in the book, they still wanted to hang onto it, which was why they were in danger now.

However, Laurinka was merely Merlin's servant. Even if Laurinka vaguely knew of some details of Merlin's past deeds, as well as the fact that his current abilities were not inferior to those of the strongest Spell Caster in her clan, Wizard Gill, she was unable to request any favors from Merlin.

She could only pray silently in her heart that her clan would be able to avert disaster and survive this crisis.

…

"Make your move, Wizard Ubik. Based on our agreement, the Neverending Book belongs to you, but Wizard Gill must die and the Shadison clan must be destroyed!"

Wizard Sabis from the Doret clan wore a cold expression as violent Elemental fluctuations rose up all around him. He was ready to cast his strongest spell and battle with Wizard Gill to his full capabilities.

Wizard Ubik clenched his teeth furiously, his eyes greedily drinking in the sight of the Neverending Book in Wizard Gill's hand. A turbulent gust of wind instantly shrouded his body as he waved a hand while roaring hoarsely, "Darling, kill!"

"Whoosh."

A black shadow flashed out from the crowd and dashed straight towards Wizard Gill. It was Wizard Ubik's Alchemy Creature which he had kept hidden until now in order to catch his opponent off guard and obtain an unexpected result.

"Kill!"

Following the attack of Wizard Ubik's Alchemy Creature, Wizard Sabis extended a finger and in an instant, streams of ice crystals appeared and solidified quickly, moving towards Wizard Gill.

"Fire!"

Wizard Gill's expression was a calm one. Staring at the two Fourth-level Spell Caster and the Alchemy Creature, he was not afraid in the slightest. His body flickered densely with Earth Elemental fluctuations – this was a Defensive spell. Moreover, before his withered finger, balls of flames surged up immediately, burning the air until it was warped.

Every move of these three Fourth-level Spell Casters possessed tremendous might and astonishing destructive power. No one dared to go near them at all. This was a true war and once their spells were cast, not even war forts would be able to withstand them.

Only Fourth-level Wizards could be considered truly strong individuals. Their spells were able to disregard the Normies' most powerful military weapon – war forts!

"Rhind, your Shadison clan will not be able to escape fate today! Kill!"

The clan elder of the Doret clan, Wizard Raimundo, had been staring at Rhind this whole time. Now that the Fourth-level Spell Casters had begun their great battle, he gestured abruptly with one hand and hundreds of Spell Casters began to cast their spells frantically. This was a battle between Spell Caster clans and was also the most magnificent sight that Merlin had seen so far.

Even the battle between Weiss and the Wright clan, back then in Floating City, was not as impressive as the current scene. This could truly be called a war. Perhaps the Slaughterhouse War between the Kingdom of Blackmoon and the Kingdom of Light had been similar to this. Wild attacks flared up between Spell Casters and First-level, Second-level, and even Third-level Spell Casters appeared so negligible and helpless in such a war.

The whole of Shadison Manor had been reduced to a battlefield. The Doret clan's preparation this time around had been sufficient. They had mobilized all of their clan's strength. In addition, they had spread the news that the second and third volume of the Neverending Book could be located through the first volume and thus a few Third-level Spell Casters were just waiting for a chance to make their move.

Therefore, the Shadison clan seemed to be facing great danger at this point. Many Spell Casters were hit by the spells which were frantically flying all over the sky and the number of Spell Casters in the Shadison clan began to rapidly dwindle.

Conversely, Merlin was unperturbed in the face of all this, but Laurinka's complexion had somewhat lost its color. Perhaps she had never thought that a cruel war like this would happen before her eyes and one that was closely related to her at that.

Besides Laurinka, the other roaming Wizards who had initially just come for a glance at the Neverending Book never thought that they would witness such a merciless battle. Many of them could not even believe their own eyes. First-level, Second-level, and even Third-level Wizards who were much more powerful than them had perished so easily.

Everything that was happening before their eyes shook the roaming Wizards to their very core!

"Hmm? Someone else is making a move!"

Merlin, who had been closely watching every movement of the scene, narrowed his eyes. He perceived two figures who rushed out suddenly with violent Elemental fluctuations emerging around them.

One was fluctuations of Ice Element, the other was fluctuations of Fire Element. The two Elemental fluctuations were at the strength of Fourth-level Spell Casters. This two individuals who had suddenly rushed out were Fourth-level Spell Casters.

"The Neverending Book!"

One of the Spell Casters whose appearance they could not see clearly, let out a roar, and almost instantaneously Fire Element turned into a wild sea of flames which surrounded Wizard Gill, Wizard Sabis, and Wizard Ubik. Their target was the Neverending Book in Wizard Gill's hand.

The two Spell Casters who had rushed out all of a sudden were evidently hiding in the crowd for a long time. Seeing that Wizard Gill, Wizard Ubik, and the rest had begun their confrontation, they made their move.

At the moment, regardless of whether it was Wizard Gill or Wizard Ubik or even Wizard Sabis, all of them were no longer able to block the attack. They could only cast their Defensive spells at their peak using all their strength, this allowed the two Spell Casters to infiltrate the area unchallenged, appearing in front of them and casting a Wind-type spell which swept the Neverending Book from Wizard Gill's hand.

The Neverending Book was swept into the air and landed with a loud thud behind them.

"Humph, ice!"

The two Spell Casters who had appeared suddenly did not seem to be working together. They had turned to one another instead and began to cast their own spells, both wanting to snatch the Neverending Book.

"Damn it, my Neverending Book!"

Wizard Ubik's heart flashed with rage. He and Sabis had spent a huge amount of energy to gradually subdue Wizard Gill. He initially thought that they would obtain the Neverending Book with no issues, but did not expect that these two mysterious individuals would snatch it away so easily.

However, Ubik was too far away. Before him, the two mysterious Spell Casters had begun their confrontation, each casting their spells to snatch the Neverending Book.

The Neverending Book was once again swept up by a Wind-type spell and was thrown viciously into the air before it fell onto the ground between the Fourth-level Spell Casters.

"Smack."

The Neverending Book fell to the ground with a loud sound. Just as these Fourth-level Spell Casters were about to step forward and fight for it, they noticed a pretty woman who had a willowy figure and a golden ponytail sporting a pair of thick leather boots making her way slowly to where the Neverending Book had fallen.

The pretty woman also had a strange black hat on her head which had a feather stuck into it. With an expressionless face, she glanced serenely at the Neverending Book lying at her feet then lifted her head and directed her gaze at the group as if she was looking for something.
