“Blackfire Lord, Wizard Setoh!”

Behind the Slothful Beast, a tiny Wizard as insignificant as a speck of dust quickly came before the Blackfire Lord and Wizard Setoh.

Although Legend Zado already knew Wizard Setoh’s identity of via his maxim avatar, he was still a little excited to see an Ultimate Arcane Wizard in person.

Previously, when the Blackfire Lord had mentioned that he was going to invite an Arcane Wizard, in his heart, Legend Zado did not really believe him. Legend Zado had been in Arcane City for such a long time but had never seen an Arcane Wizard. In fact, even some of the Honored Legends had never met the three Great Arcane Wizards.

Right now, however, Arcane Wizard Setoh had appeared before him. Despite Legend Zado’s excitement, he did not forget the matter at hand. He calmed his emotions, and said solemnly, “Blackfire Lord, Wizard Setoh, the situation isn’t ideal. The Slothful Beast has fallen asleep too sudden. It had already chosen a place, and I’m afraid it’s falling into a deep slumber as we speak.”

“I’ll go and take a look.”

Wizard Setoh only glanced at Legend Zado, and flew directly in front of the Slothful Beast. Before the huge Slothful Beast, anyone would seem incomparably tiny.

The Blackfire Lord and Zado exchanged a look and flew over as well. They saw Wizard Setoh staring at the Slothful Beast’s mouth with an increasingly grave expression.

“This is troublesome. The Slothful Beast is already asleep and will not swallow anything in a while. Before this, I was planning to use some techniques to pass some messages into its body when it opened its mouth to swallow, but now, this plan will not work.”

Wizard Setoh was feeling troubled. Using brute force to pry open the Slothful Beast’ mouth was completely impossible. The fact that he was a mere spatial avatar was irrelevant. Even if his real body was present together with the two other Arcane Wizards, it would still be impossible.

Looking at this huge Slothful Beast, even Wizard Setoh appeared quite powerless. The Slothful Beast was considered one of the greatest existences in the Void Zone, the darling of the natural order. Even Arcane Wizards were powerless against it.

Fortunately, the number of these Slothful Beast was extremely few, probably only up to a hundred or so creatures. A hundred Slothful Beasts might sound disheartening but they were scattered all across the Void Zone, so it was considered very rare. Even after hundreds and thousands of years, none of the Slothful Beast would meet one another.

“Wizard Setoh, is there no other way?”

The Blackfire Lord asked a little impatiently. More than thirty years had passed, who knew what Merlin would become in the belly of the Slothful Beast.

“Be patient. There are other ways. We just need to try it out.”

Wizard Setoh flew one circle around the huge beast. Even with his speed, it took him a few months to complete. That was how immensely huge the Slothful Beast was.

“The Slothful Beast has a few weaker points that can potentially lead into its body. The first is the mouth. However, since it’s asleep, the mouth is shut and cannot be entered. Next would be the ear. However, the Slothful Beast’s ear seems to contain a layer of membrane. I’m not sure if I’m able to force my way through that…. Lastly, there’s one remaining option, which also poses the greatest chance!”

The Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado’s eyes both lit up. They were completely helpless against this Slothful Beast. Besides, their understanding would not be able to rival Wizard Setoh, considering that the three Great Arcane Wizards had attempted to “capture” a Slothful Beast before. Even though the attempt was a failure, surely, the three Great Arcane Wizards had studied the Slothful Beast carefully and knew it very well.

“Wizard Setoh, what’s the Slothful Beast’s last weak point?”

The Blackfire Lord asked softly.

Wizard Setoh’s expression turned slightly uncomfortable. He led the Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado half a circle to the back of the Slothful Beast and pointed toward an enormous hole.

“Here!”

“Erm… Wizard Setoh, are you really going to put your head in there?”

Upon seeing the “enormous hole”, the Blackfire Lord and Legend Zado each exchanged looks of disbelief. Wizard Setoh’s face, on the other hand, was slightly disgruntled. After all, he was a respectable Ultimate Arcane Wizard but now had to probe the Slothful Beast’s backdoor, and attempt to tear this hole open to form a communication channel with the inside world.

“Hmph. Blackfire, if it’s not because of your insistence to rescue your disciple, do you think I would do this? Anyway, I’m going to try using the Spatial Maxim, Dissecting Slit, to slit open the protection of the Slothful Beast, and establish a communication channel! Oh yes, it’s best if someone can enter. However, not a real person or else you might not be able to exit.”

Wizard Setoh and the Blackfire Lord naturally turned to look at Legend Zado’s maxim avatar.

Legend Zado could only offer weakly. “Wizard Setoh, please use my maxim avatar to try it out.”

“Alright. Get ready, I’m starting!”

Wizard Setoh did not want to delay any longer. After all, using such a method to enter the Slothful Beast’s body was truly appalling. If they were seen by any top powers of other civilizations, the entire Spell Caster civilization would probably be subject to ridicule.

“Blackfire, you’re on guard duty!”

After making proper arrangements, Wizard Setoh took Legend Zado and flew toward the enormous hole behind the Slothful Beast.

This enormous hole looked like a massive black hole. Inside, there appeared to be a vortex layer. Legend Zado was also a Great Legend, so naturally, he could sense the terrifying strangling power contained in this vortex. Even if he was protected by a Maxim, he might be strangled by it, what more to tear open a passage.

“Zado, I’ll do my best to tear open a passage. Then, your maxim avatar must enter immediately and find Merlin as quickly as possible. The number of people coming out must be as few as possible, not more than five! Once time runs out, you might have to remain inside forever. The Slothful Beast has an incredible ability, that is, any injured weak point would automatically be strengthened. Therefore, I cannot guarantee that I can tear it open a second time!”

Legend Zado understood completely. There was only one chance for him to enter. He must bring Merlin out. Otherwise, his maxim avatar would have to remain inside forever.

Taking a deep breath, Legend Zado said to Wizard Setoh in a deep voice, “Wizard Setoh, please be rest assured, I’ll find Merlin as fast as possible and bring him out!”

“Okay, then I’ll start tearing this vortex open!”

Strands of Spatial Maxim began to appear around Wizard Setoh. These Spatial Maxim strands contained an amazing power that was unique to the Arcane Wizards, becoming even more powerful. As soon as the Maxim appeared, a threatening power ensued. Although Zado knew that it was not directed at him, there was still a feeling of trepidation.

“Cut!”

Wizard Setoh growled softly, and the surrounding Void Zone seemed to vibrate. It was important to keep in mind that there were no time and space in the Void Zone.

“Open up!”

Wizard Setoh roared. His Spatial Maxim evolved into an extremely sharp piercing force, and violently speared toward the vortex inside the enormous hole.

“Skrr.”

The huge Slothful Beast shuddered like it felt the intrusion. Amid its deep sleep, the Slothful Beast tremored a little but soon calmed down. Such a small movement was not enough to affect the Slothful Beast.

“Alright, it’s torn! Zado, go on in.”

Wizard Setoh had viciously torn it apart with his hands, and the vortex inside the enormous hole actually began to split open. The terrifying strangling power had subsided. Wizard Zado’s maxim avatar nodded, and swiftly transformed into a light ray, then squeezed through the narrow cracks.

…

In the Illusory World, Merlin was sitting opposite Titus. Every day, he would visit the Illusory World and talk to Titus, as well as seek some knowledge about Hallucinating spells.

Titus was undeniably the foremost pioneer in Hallucinating spells and the Mind Power system. After talking to him for several months, Merlin felt that he had gained a lot of benefits, and derived a more profound understanding of Hallucinating spells. In addition, he had also fortified the second step of Hallucinating spells.

However, in order to reach the third step, Merlin would have to depend on his own understanding. According to Titus, upon reaching the first stage of Hallucinating spells, no one could help Merlin. He could only rely on his own understanding.

After all, Hallucinating spells were not static. Every person’s Hallucinating spells would vary based on their own experiences, et cetera. For example, Titus’ Hallucinating spells were filled with peace, so people would unconsciously fall trap to his Hallucinating spells.

This was because Titus had stayed in the Slothful Beast world for a long time. Once his Hallucinating spells had matured, his life became very peaceful, so his Hallucinating spells also became more and more soothing.

Merlin, on the other hand, was different. He had traveled from the Kingdom of Blackmoon to the Void Zone and many dimensions. He had experienced a series of violence and bloodshed, so all his Hallucinating spells were filled with magnificence.

“What else do I need to achieve the third step of the first stage Hallucinating spells? What about the Illusory Heart?”

After talking to Titus for a moment, Merlin opened his mouth and asked evenly.

Titus smiled but it was a slightly helpless smile. He replied softly, “Wizard Merlin, you’ve now reached the second step of Hallucinating spells. You should know by now how difficult Hallucinating spells can be. Only you alone can grasp an understanding! I can only offer you my own experience. If I was to start all over again, even I’m not sure whether I can reach this point smoothly.

“As for the Illusory Heart, forgive my bluntness, Wizard Merlin, but it’s too difficult for you to achieve it at this juncture. Although I hope more than anyone for you to achieve an understanding of the Illusory Heart so that you can perfect the Illusory World for me to be resurrected. Honestly, even I cannot tell whether or not you’ll successfully achieve the Illusory Heart!”

Merlin stared at Titus. After a long moment, he nodded without any expression. In reality, Merlin was most well-informed about how difficult it was to accomplish the Mind Power system that Titus had created.

Not only the Illusory Heart but even the third step of the first stage Hallucinating spells, Merlin did not know if he could achieve it. For example, for the past few months, through his exchange with Titus in the Illusory World, he had gained a lot of knowledge and benefitted greatly. However, most of it was merely theoretical knowledge, and did not substantially increase his Mind Power.

Up to now, his Mind Power had only undergone a massive improvement when he had achieved an understanding of the second step of Hallucinating spells. At other times, there was not a single trace of improvement, and he did not gain any other understanding of Hallucinating spells.

Merlin knew that this process could not be rushed, so he continued to say, “In that case, Titus, tell me about the Illusory Heart.”

Titus nodded and said, “The Illusory Heart is actually very simple…”

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the entire Illusory World seemed to tremor slightly. Merlin’s Mind Power connection was instantly broken.

“What happened?”

Titus stared at Merlin’s broken Mind Power with surprise. Prior to this, he was able to see the outside situation via the illusion bead, but now that it was controlled by Merlin, unless Merlin was willing, Titus was unable to see anything happening on the outside.

At this moment, outside the Illusory World, Merlin was jolted awake. He opened his eyes, and immediately looked up toward the sky at the previously unchanged Vortex Hole.
