A Wizard’s Secret
chapter-493

Chapter 493: Swordpoint I

The young Wizard gracefully came before Wizard Mogan and gestured a single palm salute. “Wizard Mogan!”

The young Wizard’s movement was graceful, and his entire body exuded an aristocratic air. His burgundy hair draped elegantly behind his shoulders. His fair countenance glowed with a trace of radiance, especially his eyes, which were like two beautiful sapphires. The bright blue sparkle in them was truly breathtaking.

“Hehe, Wizard Mogan, this is a new disciple whom I took in sixty years ago! What do you think?

Wizard Yatho’s face was overflowing with smugness. At his level, it was too difficult to progress even a single step forward, and a Legendary Wizard who had consolidated a Maxim would be comparable to the gods and was almost immortal.

Since the Legendary Wizards were unable to progress forward, yet enjoyed near immortality, their next greatest achievements would be to nurture excellent disciples!

Under Wizard Mogan’s watchful eyes, Asher, who was a complete combination of beauty and handsomeness could hide no secret.

He was a Five-Elemental Spell Caster, a Seventh-level Wizard, and almost all his spells contained Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities. Such qualifications were considered outstanding, especially since his self-derived Seventh-level spells were very powerful and had Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities. He was probably able to match an ordinary Ninth-level Spell Caster, which was one of the reasons why Wizard Yatho was so satisfied with Asher.

“Yes, very good. He’s considered an excellent prodigy!”

Wizard Mogan calmly nodded. On the surface, he could see that Asher was indeed a talented prodigy. However, for Asher to earn such high extoll from Wizard Yatho, it remained slightly dubious to Wizard Mogan.

Unless, there was other uniqueness about Asher that he could not see.

“Hehe, Mogan, you’re going to be dumbfounded. Do you know how long Asher spent to cultivate himself to this point?”

“How long?”

Wizard Mogan glanced at the peculiar expression on Wizard Yatho’s face and took a careful look at Asher. Then, he said with some uncertainty, “A hundred years?”

“Haha, Asher only spent seventy-five years to cultivate himself to this extent! Mogan, have you seen such a fast-paced prodigy?”

Wizard Yatho laughed heartily, obviously very satisfied with Asher’s achievements.

Asher’s expression did not change but a slight smile appeared on his face. He maintained a graceful posture but there was a glint of pride on his face. It was a natural reaction that stemmed from his sense of self and was not a fake show. His confidence was boosted.

Generally speaking, becoming a Seventh-level Spell Caster in a hundred years was not too difficult and achievable for any talented Wizards. However, to successfully construct Five-Elemental spells with various Fusion Pandora Demon Abilities as well as deriving highly powerful and compatible Seventh-level spells…

Such a Spell Caster was quite rare!

Wizard Yatho looked at Asher and said with a regretful tone, “Although Asher spent seventy-five years to get to this point, he actually spent thirty-five years just to construct highly compatible Seventh-level spells. If only he was willing to give in and construct ordinary Seventh-level spells, he would have spent a mere forty years!”

“Forty years?”

Wizard Mogan’s face shifted. Finally, his heart was slightly moved. Previously, the seventy-five years mentioned was only indicative of a relatively powerful prodigy.

Forty years, on the other hand, exceeded the boundaries of an average prodigy. It was not surprising that the usually hard-to-please Wizard Yatho would take Asher in as his disciple and bestow such high praises on him.

“Honorable Wizard Mogan, you’re a Great Legend. My teacher often mentions you. You’ve consolidated the Ice-type Maxim and have an unparalleled understanding of Ice-type spells. I hope that Wizard Mogan can give me some hints about Ice-type spells.”

Asher said politely.

“Not bad. Yatho, you indeed took in a good disciple!”

Wizard Mogan nodded with a smile but did not look at Asher again. On the contrary, Wizard Yatho had noticed Merlin earlier but did not pay him any attention since he was only a Fifth-level Wizard.

Now, however, he saw that Wizard Mogan had brought Merlin along wherever he went, so their relationship would not be simple. So, he immediately asked, “Wizard Mogan, this is…?”

Even though Merlin’s Spell Caster level was very low, his expression remained calm and unruffled without any trace of formality. This roused Wizard Yatho’s curiosity.

Mogan glanced at Merlin with a seemingly casual look, and calmly replied, “He’s my new disciple, Merlin!”

“Hmm? Mogan, you’ve not taken in a disciple in a few hundred years. Why would you suddenly take in a Fifth-level Spell Caster as your disciple? I’m sure that Wizard Merlin must be unique in some way?”

Beside them, Asher’s sapphire blue eyes glinted and directed his gaze on Merlin.

Wizard Mogan did not answer directly but pointed to Merlin. “Yatho, this is one of the reasons that I came to see you. I would like to meet your subordinate, Wizard Ossais. He’s a top-level Occult Mind Spells practitioner. My disciple would like to learn Occult Mind Spells, so I was hoping that Wizard Ossais can share some top-level Occult Mind Spells with my disciple.”

“Huh? Wizard Merlin would like to learn Occult Mind Spells?”

Wizard Yatho gazed at Merlin. This time, however, his gaze was not filled with warmth but with a surge of brutal pressure. This kind of pressure, Merlin had only sensed it before on Wizard Mogan.

The invisible pressure made Merlin feel like he was suffocating. Merlin knew that this was the pressure exerted by Mind Power. Although Wizard Yatho was not an Occult Mind Spell practitioner, he was still a Legendary Wizard. Even without any specialized training, his Mind Power was truly fearsome and far exceeded what Merlin could resist.

Therefore, Merlin’s Mind Heart rattled wildly. A huge amount of Mind Power began to outpour on the surface of his body and formed a layer of Mind Power Armor to resist the Mind Power attack from Wizard Yatho.

Once the Mind Power achieved the Seventh-level, it would undergo a qualitative transformation. Such a transformation would turn the Mind Power from being intangible to tangible, with the ability to interact with solid matter.

It was precisely due to this reason that Occult Mind Spell practitioners came into existence. They originated as Spell Casters but appeared to be very unremarkable among the Spell Casters except for their extraordinarily powerful Mind Powers. Consequently, the Mind Hearts that they were able to consolidate were also different from ordinary Spell Casters.

As a result, this group of Wizards began to delve into the study of Mind Power and eventually created many powerful Mind Occult Spells that were comparable to Ninth-level Spell Casters and even the Great Wizards!

This indirectly proved that Spell Casters were an inventive population. As long as there was sufficient demand for something, the Spell Casters were able to produce it such as Flying casting tools and Mind Occult Spells.

Merlin’s Mind Power was only at the crudest useable level. Nevertheless, his Mind Power was very powerful because it had undergone significant growth after refining the divinity. Based on the size of his Mind Power, he was more powerful than an average Eighth-level Spell Caster.

On the other hand, Merlin’s Mind Heart was still at the Seventh-level, and had not even reached the peak. Thus, he was well-suited to cultivate Mind Occult Spells.

Once Merlin’s Mind Power Armor was formed, Yatho’s Mind Power swiftly retreated and completely disappeared. Wizard Yatho said with a hint of approval, “Not bad, Wizard Merlin’s Mind Power is indeed powerful enough to cultivate Mind Occult Spells! It seems, Mogan, that you haven’t been idle, and took in a good disciple.”

Although Yatho was bestowing praise on Merlin, he was merely being polite on the surface. Everyone knew that no matter how powerful Mind Occult Spells practitioners were, they were ultimately unable to become Legends. So, even the most powerful Occult Mind Spell practitioner would not be able to rival an average Legendary Wizard.

The differences between the two were too pronounced!

“As for Ossais, I’ll summon him. Although Ossais is my subordinate, if you want to learn the most powerful Occult Mind Spells he has, you must first ask for his consent. I can only summon him here. Whether or not Ossais can be persuaded to impart his teaching on Occult Mind Spells will depend on your own effort.”

Wizard Yatho was quite respectful toward the most effective Wizard under his command. After all, Ossais was a top-level Occult Mind Spells practitioner and was also a rare Great Wizard.

Ossais was an ordinary Great Wizard but with the powers of a Great Wizard coupled with an unimaginably powerful Mind Heart, he could rely on his Occult Mind Spells to catapult himself to become one of the peak-level Great Wizards. His powers were second only to the Legendary Wizards!

Wizard Mogan nodded. “Of course. Occult Mind Spells are the greatest secrets held by Wizard Ossais, naturally, I’ll seek his opinion.”

Following that, Wizard Yatho shut his eyes, seemingly mobilizing the powers of the dimension to summon Wizard Ossais.

Soon, Wizard Yatho opened his eyes. He smiled and said, “I’ve informed Ossais but he’s currently not in the palace. He’ll rush back as soon as he can, so you have to wait for a while.”

The next moment, the hall plunged into a pin-drop silence.

Merlin had a prickling feeling that someone was staring at him with a disdainful, calculating look, so he raised his head. It was Asher. Merlin nodded at him politely.

Suddenly, Asher stood up in an aggressive manner and said to Wizard Mogan, “Wizard Mogan, I’ve never left this dimension, and haven’t met prodigies from other dimensions! Since you were willing to take Wizard Merlin in as your disciple, his abilities mustn’t be too poor. Hence, I want to spar with Wizard Merlin to observe each other’s spells!”

Wizard Mogan frowned. Asher seemed a little impudent to him. Beside him, Wizard Yatho did not seem to mind. Instead, he laughed. “Haha, Mogan, you don’t have to be suspicious. Asher is like that. Every time he encounters someone who is of the same skill or someone who is slightly more powerful, he likes to challenge them. In this dimension, Asher has never utilized my influence but carved a famous reputation on his own. Since Ossais will take some time to arrive, just let the two of them spar for a moment. It’s not a big deal. I’ll make sure Asher exercises some caution and will not hurt Wizard Merlin.”

Wizard Yatho also wanted to see the comparison between Merlin and Asher, though of course, he had complete confidence in Asher.

“Merlin, what do you think?”

Wizard Mogan turned his gaze to Merlin.

Merlin glanced at Asher, his opponent was eager to strike.

“If that’s the case, Teacher Mogan, I’m willing to learn from Wizard Asher!”

Merlin also stood up, and his gaze glinted as sharp as a knife. In an instant, his expression turned extremely ruthless. That ruthless gaze seemed to belong to a completely different person.
