A Wizard’s Secret
chapter-481

"Honorable Wizard Mogan!"

Draped in a black cloak, Wizard Gritte came to a secret chamber and greeted a crystal statue respectfully.

"Hum."

Suddenly, the statue began to shake, and a golden glow appeared. The statue appeared to come to life. A faint apparition appeared, though its features were indistinguishable.

"Gritte, you're guarding the Glorious Palace, what is it?"

The apparition on the statue asked in a calm voice.

"Honorable Wizard Mogan, I think I might have discovered the arrival of a Spell Caster from beyond the heavens."

"A Spell Caster from beyond the heavens? Isn't that normal? There are many Great Wizards who are roaming around and might descend into our dimension. As long as they do not destroy the basic operations of the dimension, we don't have to be concerned."

The apparition's tone was cool, calm, and collected. Wizard Gritte raised his head and intoned deeply, "He's not a Great Wizard but a mere Fourth-level Wizard, going on to the Fifth-level. Anyway, the point isn't the inferiority of his level but that he has cultivated a type of Pandora Demon Ability Darkness Eye!"

"Huh? Darkness Eye? Are you sure that you aren't mistaken?"

Even the apparition appeared to become excited and asked hurriedly.

"Yes, Darkness Eye. Wizard Mogan, you may check the Memory Crystal."

Subsequently, Wizard Gritte offered the Memory Crystal, which was grabbed by the apparition in a flash. The apparition rapidly immersed his Mind Power into the Memory Crystal, and in the blink of an eye, passed the Memory Crystal back to Wizard Gritte.

"You're right, it's the genuine Darkness Eye… How unexpected, Darkness Eye has reappeared… Where's this Wizard now?"

"In the Glorious Pavilion!"

"Very well, I'll be back soon!"

Upon finishing speaking, the apparition disappeared, and the transparent crystal statue resumed its original state.

Wizard Gritte gazed at the transparent crystal statue with a look of admiration. This was truly a Great Legendary Wizard. Despite being millions of miles away, he was able to pay close attention to all the happenings in this dimension. This was a feat that could not possibly be achieved by the Great Wizards.

This was a Maxim-related power!

Only with the power of Maxims were Spell Casters able to become on par with the natural gods of the dimension and subsequently defeat them. Although Wizard Mogan had descended to this dimension for thousands of years and produced several Great Wizards, there was yet to be a Legendary Wizard.

Among those in the Glorious Palace, Wizard Gritte was one of the high potential Spell Casters who might be able to produce a Maxim and become a Legendary Wizard. However, only he knew how difficult this was…

Since this matter would be handled by Wizard Mogan personally, Wizard Gritte no longer paid any attention to it and steadily left the secret chamber.

Inside the Glorious Pavilion, Merlin was roaming aimlessly. The shelves that were dedicated for spells were the largest and occupied the most space. More than ten shelves were lined up in a tight formation.

Everything from Zero-level to Ninth-level spells was available, so it was very comprehensive. However, since the Glorious Palace mostly consisted of Ninth-level Spell Casters and even Spell Casters who had completed missions were Seventh-level and above, these spells below the Seventh-level were useless to them. At most, the spells could be used as a reference at some point.

Merlin did not have a particular need for Spell Models, so he was just browsing casually. However, he noticed something that made him feel slightly confused. Every single row on the shelves was organized systematically. They were arranged, layer-by-layer, from Zero-level spells to Ninth-level spells.

However, on these shelves, there was an additional row on top of the Ninth-level spells with a few exquisitely-bound spell books.

"Could there be spells above Ninth-level spells?"

Merlin had some understanding on Great Wizards. After Ninth-level Spell Casters, the next in line would be Great Wizards. However, Great Wizards basically possessed a combined Spell Model in which all their individual Spell Models were interwoven with one another. Thus, the combined Spell Model would be the foundation of the Great Wizard.

Therefore, individual Spell Models would no longer exist. As for the combined Spell Models of the Great Wizards, it would be impractical to leave it in the Glorious Pavilion.

Nevertheless, this was only Merlin's guess. Whether or not the books contained the combined Spell Models of Great Wizards, Merlin did not know.

Thinking along these lines, Merlin casually picked up one of the books. However, it was not written by a Great Wizard but a mere Ninth-level Spell Caster.

"Is it a Ninth-level spell then?"

Merlin frowned and gently flipped the book open. The texts were written in Molta language, the commonly used language in the Spell Caster world. Though Merlin initially thought that it was a spell book, upon reading its contents, his face underwent a huge change and a flash of uncontained surprise sparkled in his eyes.

"It actually contains some techniques to fuse spells…"

Merlin took a deep breath and calmed himself down. What was recorded inside was not actually a Spell Model but some techniques to fuse spells.

It was just like when Merlin wanted to fuse his Thunder-type spell together with his Fire-type spell in order to increase the power of the spell by several folds in a short time.

It was a technique that would allow Spell Casters to massively increase their abilities. However, very few Spell Casters were willing to do it, simply because it was too difficult.

If not for the fact that Merlin had previously experienced fusing Thunder-type spell and Fire-type spell for a split second, he would not believe that it was possible for different spells to be fused together.

Moreover, the book also recorded that if someone were to master the spell fusion, the person would gain a sure advantage in the future when he wanted to combine his Spell Models and become a Great Wizard. It would increase the success rate of the Spell Model fusion by manyfold.

This was a truly rare knowledge. The elimination rate for Ninth-level Spell Casters to become a Great Wizard was sky-high, so any method that would marginally increase the chances of success would be eagerly received by the Ninth-level Spell Casters.

After practicing for a long time and mastering simple spell fusion, there would be a definite advantage when the person became a Great Wizard and needed to combine Spell Models. Basically, any freaky Wizard who could fuse spells would ultimately become a Great Wizard.

When Merlin finished reading the description in the book, his heart stirred. Although this Ninth-level Spell Caster had managed to write a book on spell fusion, he did not personally succeed in fusing spells. All he did was research the fusion between spells.

Some of the techniques mentioned were findings from his research, whereas some were mere inferences. However, for Merlin, it was a significant point of reference.

After all, based on Merlin's understanding before this, the fusion between spells was nothing more than a whimsical idea that he conceived in his head. Now that he had found someone who not only agreed with his idea of spell fusion but also possessed some realistic techniques, Merlin naturally felt overjoyed.

"The fusion of spells isn't just a whimsical fantasy but I need to find a critical point!"

Merlin closed the book and a sense of urgency surged in his heart. This was an unexpected finding that he had gained in the Glorious Pavilion. He also hoped to test the methods suggested in the book as he agreed with all the techniques listed.

Inside the Glorious Pavilion, there were some individual chambers that could be used to construct Spell Models, test spell power, and many more. Therefore, even a Great Wizard would not be able to destroy these chambers as long as it was not a continuous, prolonged attack.

Even though his remaining time in the Glorious Pavilion was very precious, Merlin was satisfied that he had obtained the spell fusion techniques in this book. There was nothing else in particular that Merlin wanted.

So, he might as well start to attempt some spell fusion in the chamber.

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

In Merlin's left hand, sparks of electricity began to appear. This was a Thunder-type spell. At the same time, in his right hand, a fireball appeared. This was a Fire-type spell.

Both spells were fused with Pandora Demon Abilities and possessed immense powers, so even the slightest trace was enough to send shivers down every spine.

Right now, however, this electric spark and fireball were both contained in Merlin's hands. He was observing them carefully to find the critical points of both spells.

According to the techniques in the book, the most crucial component of spell fusion was to find the critical points of both spells. This was also called the fusion point. It was the point where two different spells possessed the most similar qualities with one another.

Thunder was very violent and had shockingly destructive powers. Fire, too, had shockingly destructive powers. Therefore, their similar qualities laid in their terrifying destructive powers as well as their ability to explode in an instant. These were the points of similarities that might be able to fuse thunder and fire.

However, finding the critical point was still not easy. He only knew the general idea of where to look for the critical point but to actually find it would require the constant fusion and experiment of Fire- and Thunder-type spells. Even then, success was not guaranteed.

Merlin stared closely as the flame and the spark, and slowly began to recall the first time he cultivated and released Thunder Fury. At that time, he felt an intense, special connection to Fire-type spells.

It was that feeling that enabled the Fire- and Thunder-type spells to fuse momentarily for an instant and produced such a terrifying power.

Currently, Merlin was trying hard to recall that sensation. In order to fuse spells, a natural talent was also essential. For an average Spell Caster that could not even sense the feeling of spell fusion, it was impossible to find the critical point.

Merlin had been very fortunate because he had for a brief moment experienced a spell fusion. Thus, there was a high chance for him to find the critical point.

Time crept by slowly, and Merlin was completely immersed in the strange sensation. In his eyes, the spark and the flame seemed to already have a tiny common point. He was ready to combine the two spells.

This feeling was very strange. It could not be explained in words but only be put into action.

At this point, Merlin carefully drew the Fire- and Thunder- type spells in his right and left hand closer together. If they cannot be fused, there would be a huge explosion. In lieu of that, Merlin had already cast Enervating Halo, just in case.

"Chi."

Finally, the two spells came together. Using his Mind Power, Merlin carefully controlled the proximity of the two spells along their critical points, and allowed the two spells to fuse together.

"Success!"

A look of ecstasy appeared on Merlin's face. Inside the beautiful flame, there were faint sparks of lightning. This was the spell fusion from two types of spells that Merlin could release. Once he used his Mind Power to remove the critical points between the two, the two spells would be able to release a terrifying power.

"Who's that?"

Suddenly, Merlin's expression shifted. Before his mind could react, the successfully fused Thunder- and Fire-type spell in his hand flew rapidly behind him, guided by his Mind Power.
