A Wizard’s Secret
chapter-608

"Swearing on the Ultimate Order…"

In the Firecloud Dimension, Bordeaux and the Giant Tuota were making an oath on the Ultimate Order. Both of them were to control the Dimension Core of the Firecloud Dimension together.

However, before they had officially agreed, there came a familiar voice. "Bordeaux, we meet again!"

"Huh? Alcra and that mysterious Spell Caster Merlin… You guys aren't dead?"

Bordeaux's face shifted, and his eyes revealed his incredulity. He knew how terrifying that mysterious Giant King was. Besides him, who could use his speed to flee, no one would be able to block it.

Nonetheless, here was Alcra and Merlin now, appearing in the Firecloud Dimension.

"You wish to seize this dimension too?"

As he spoke, Bordeaux was retreating stealthily, distancing himself from Merlin and Alcra. He knew that Merlin had Hallucinating spells, and must be kept far away.

"Tuota, both of them aren't easy to deal with. Alcra is a second-generation Tree Folk of the Tree Tribe, and this Spell Caster is even more troublesome, possessing powerful abilities of Hallucinating spells…"

Before Bordeaux had finished, Tuota was already glaring at Alcra and Merlin, laughing coldly. "The Firecloud Dimension isn't something you can interfere in. Scram!"

"Boom."

Tuota swung a first toward Merlin and Alcra. The immense pressure crushed in from all sides, and Alcra's face changed instantly. He roared furiously and revealed his true form. A gigantic tree canopy, glimmering with a verdant shine, combined with thick roots to form a shield.

The present Alcra had already completely recovered his power, and was on par with the most preeminent Great Wizard.

"Bang."

The two earth-shattering forces met, and Alcra was immediately sent flying, his root shield smashed in an instant. With a single blow, the difference in their strengths was exposed. Although Alcra had the greatest defense, he could not withstand an attack from this Giant before him.

"What powerful strength. Tuota… Could it be the Tuota who had legendarily battled with a Great Legend?"

Upon receiving such a massive blow from Tuota, Alcra seemed to recall something, and cried out in shock.

Alcra wished to become the strongest prodigy in the Tree Tribe civilization, able to transcend his rank to challenge the great Tree King. Tuota was one such demonic genius, an upper rank Giant able to contend against Great Legends.

"Merlin, now that we've bumped into Tuota, it's quite dangerous. We'd better leave, and not fight for this dimension."

Alcra no longer wished to clash with Tuota. He could not even take a blow from his opponent and wanted to retreat.

"Retreat? No need! Alcra, use everything you have to seize the dimension core now. As for Tuota and Bordeaux, I'll stop them!"

With that, Merlin ignored Alcra's stupefied expression, then took a casual step forward. His massive Mind Power plunged forward noiselessly.

"Hallucinate!"

When he heard the word "hallucinate" from Merlin's lips, Bordeaux felt a jolt in his heart, and got ready to retreat instantly but it was too late. Even if he was fully prepared, Merlin's Hallucinating spell had already reached the third stage. Anyone below a Legend was no match for this, and would all be caught in his illusion.

"Oh no…"

Everything went blank for Bordeaux, after which a strange world appeared. Bordeaux knew something was wrong but he was unable to struggle out of the Hallucinating spell, and his entire body sagged lifelessly.

Bordeaux was merely an ancillary target. The truly impressive one was Tuota. Merlin was using most of his Mind Power to keep Tuota in check. At that moment, waves after waves of intense Mind Power rushed over, making Tuota feel drowsy. He seemed to be completely sunken in a stupor. His mind was a total blank, and he stood there silently.

"Erm… Merlin, is this your Hallucinating spell?"

Behind Merlin, Alcra saw that Bordeaux and Tuota were evidently caught in Merlin's Hallucinating spell, and was stunned. It was not surprising that it worked on Bordeaux but Tuota was a match for a Great Legend!

Merlin still appeared cool and breezy, calmly saying, "Alcra, you'd better control the Dimension Core as soon as you can or problems might crop up! As for Tuota, although he's impressive, he's not a real Giant King and hasn't evolved. Thus, my Hallucinating spell can just about trap him but we mustn't startle him awake. Any small commotion could possibly awaken him."

Alcra nodded, following which he quickly revealed his true form, turning into a skyscraping tree that extended through the air. The thick roots twisted throughout the sky, and the Elemental Origin of the Firecloud Dimension was slowly taken over by Alcra bit by bit.

Alcra must quickly absorb the Elemental Origin. Nine Tree Saplings appeared beside him but this time, they revealed their true form too, and surrounded Alcra.

Merlin was using his full efforts to control Tuota but there was a faint struggle going on in Tuota's expression, meaning that he was not so easily dragged into the illusion. Merlin could only use his Mind Power to create one illusion after another, causing Tuota to be incapable of extricating himself.

However, it was much easier to deal with Bordeaux. A murderous feeling toward this speedy member of the Feather Tribe flashed across in Merlin's heart. If it were not for his Hallucinating spell which controlled Bordeaux, it would really be difficult to kill off Bordeaux.

"Fire!"

Merlin pointed gently and a fireball promptly flew out, followed by thunder, gale, and ice crystals, whistling as they sped toward Bordeaux. This was Merlin's spell fusion, composed of Eighth-level spells, able to kill off any preeminent Great Wizards.

"Boom."

Without any defenses, Bordeaux's entire body was submerged in the vicious spells. Only then did this strongest being of the Feather Tribe wake up from the illusion. He let out a heartrending cry, and his body erupted in a golden light, but it was too late.

When the flames had dispersed, there was no trace of Bordeaux's force in the air. This was the scary thing about Hallucinating spells and Mind Power Masters. This was merely the third stage of Hallucinating spells. If one had attained the Illusory Heart, that was even more fearsome. One could control one's enemies with no trace nor sound. Mind Power Masters who had reached that point could explode with a truly awesome, petrifying power!

The days passed one after another. Merlin maintained the illusion over Tuota, who must not be disturbed in the slightest or he would recover his senses. As for killing Tuota, Merlin had no guarantee of doing so. After all, this formidable member of the Giant Tribe could even contend against a Great Legend. Merlin did not wish to startle Tuota from the illusion, and instead allowed Alcra more time to absorb the Elemental Origin.

Within this period, Merlin could clearly see that the nine Tree Saplings beside Alcra were rapidly growing. They had almost caught up to Alcra's own form.

This meant that Alcra's development was going smoothly. He might just need a little bit more time to successfully merge with the nine Tree Saplings.

"Thud thud thud."

After a few days, Merlin raised his head abruptly. Outside the dimension was a deafening noise that sounded like a heartbeat, reverberating throughout the entire dimension.

Tuota seemed to be affected as well, and his expression turned more and more malevolent as his body trembled violently. Merlin was nearly unable to hold on anymore.

"Who can it be?"

Merlin was dumbstruck. At this point, a black cloud had gradually stretched across the dimension's sky. If one took a closer look, one could see that it was no cloud but a blanket of black light that covered the sky.

Moreover, what was even scarier was that within the black light, a Rock Creature had emerged. The vast and imposing force of his body indicated that he was on the level of a Great Legend!

"In the end, a Legendary existence still interfered…"

Merlin shot a glance at Tuota. At this point, Tuota was affected by this Rock Creature who was on par with a Great Legend. Merlin was no longer able to drag Tuota into the illusion, and hence, withdrew his Mind Power.

It was as if Tuota was awakening from a deep slumber but as soon as he saw Merlin, he instantly became clear-headed, and his entire body exuded his rage. He thundered in wrath. "You're the one who cast the illusion over me?"

Tuota had a fiery temper, and he cried out in rage. In one big step, he swung a fist toward Merlin, an attack that was even more frightening than the one Alcra had suffered. It looked like Tuota was truly enraged now.

Nonetheless, Merlin kept his eyes glued to the Legend-level Rock Creature in the sky, smiling coldly. "The Rock Tribe is treacherous indeed. A grand and lofty Great Legend, yet you still resort to a trick like this!"

Merlin was rather resentful. This Rock Creature was an existence on par with Great Legends but he had "awakened" the Giant Tuota. By taking advantage of the fight between Tuota and Merlin, he could stand at one side, forcibly seizing the Elemental Origin of the Firecloud Dimension.

Merlin had already noticed that Alcra's body was shaking terribly. Evidently, he was wrestling with the Rock Creature for control over the Elemental Origin. Nevertheless, no matter what, Alcra was incapable of overcoming this Rock Creature who was on the level of a Legend.

"Our Rock Tribe is a truly intelligent civilization. If we can finish something in one move, then one move is all we need. You're quite an interesting Spell Caster. No, you must be a Mind Power Master. Your Spell Caster civilization is really a wondrous civilization… After I've gained the controlling rights of the Firecloud Dimension, I'll capture you and put you under interrogation. I believe I'll learn something interesting."

This Rock Creature spoke in a leisurely manner.

"Control this dimension? I'm afraid you won't get the chance!"

Merlin glanced at Tuota. This Giant was on par with a Great Legend, and because he was on his guard now, it would be difficult for Merlin to trap him with a third stage Hallucinating spell.

Merlin knew that Alcra must not be interrupted now. With that in mind, he closed his eyes, and a white pearl appeared in his hand. It was the illusion bead in which Titus was hiding.

"Illusory World!"

Merlin's Mind Power was completely mobilized. Instantly, a shapeless fluctuation rippled outward, inducing an indescribable fear even in that lofty Rock Creature.

"Buzz."

Within the Illusory World, Titus' figure materialized once more. When he saw the situation Merlin was in, the remaining strand of the Mind Power avatar revealed a sharp glint in his eyes, laughing coldly. "Hehe, so what if it's two Legends? Merlin, even though you can only mobilize a portion of the Illusory World's strength for now, and even though my Illusory World isn't perfected, it's still sufficient to deal with these foreign tribes! Go on, let these foreign tribes know the power of us Mind Power Masters. Haha, back then, I didn't have the opportunity to leave the Slothful Beast world. Otherwise, I'd surely stir up a storm in the entire Void Zone!"

Titus' voice subtly revealed a trace of joy and mania.
