Chapter 591: Battling the Rock Tribe!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

These Rock Creatures had revealed their true form. Each possessed boundless strength, solid as a rock. They had also manipulated countless rocks to frantically attack Alcra.

In particular, the group’s leader was comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard. Even if slightly inferior to Alcra, the disparity was not that great. In addition to the efforts of the other four Rock Creatures, Alcra suddenly felt like he could not hold on.

“Boom boom boom.”

Blow after blow, the enormous hands of the Rock Creatures were like massive hammers that swung viciously into Alcra’s body. Although his defense was powerful, under such a frantic onslaught, not even Alcra could guarantee victory if this dragged on.

“Wizard Merlin, aren’t you going to attack?”

Alcra initially planned to rely on his own strength to trap these Rock Creatures then deal with them one by one. Nonetheless, from the looks of it, by himself, he was no match for these Rock Creatures. He might as well focus his efforts in trapping them, preventing them from fleeing.

“He has a backup?”

Hearing Alcra’s yell, the five Rock Creatures felt a jolt of surprise, and immediately became on their guard. All at once, the attacks gradually faltered.

“Alcra, try your best to hold them in. It’s not the first time I’ve crossed path with the Rock Tribe!”

Merlin’s figure flashed and appeared beside Alcra. He glared coldly at the five Rock Creatures below, who were all trapped by Alcra, unable to break their way out at all. Merlin had personally experienced how incredible Alcra’s binding was. Now, after years of absorbing the Dimension Core, although Alcra was still far from becoming an upper rank Tree Folk, his powers had undergone a significant boost.

Back when Merlin was in the Seely Dimension, and battled with the Rock Creature Gustia, he had been completely suppressed by Gustia. If it were not for the black cat Didimoss, he would have been in trouble.

At that time, Gustia’s level was about the same as these Rock Creatures now, belonging to rank similar to a preeminent Great Wizard, second only to a Great Legend. However, things had changed greatly now for Merlin.

“Buzz buzz buzz.”

Merlin waved his hand lightly. His soundless and formless Mind Power slowly blanketed the five Rock Creatures, and the Hallucinating spell took effect instantly!

Merlin’s Hallucinating spell was enough to enrapture a peak Great Wizard. These Rock Creatures were like the Tree Folk, they did not focus on Mind Power at all. Therefore, Merlin’s Hallucinating spell started working soon enough. Other than the leading Rock Creature, the rest were all caught in the illusion, and stopped attacking.

“Spell Caster? D*mn it, and it’s a Mind Power Master at that. Wake up quickly!”

That Rock Creature on par with a preeminent Great Wizard seemed to understand Mind Power Masters, being familiar with what was happening. Following that, he gave a mighty roar, and the other four Rock Creatures all recovered their senses, staring alertly at Merlin.

“As expected of someone on the level of a preeminent Great Wizard!”

Merlin grinned, and did not seem to mind. Just like Alcra, this Rock Creature could withstand some illusions. As long as one’s abilities had reached a certain stage, there were some universal benefits. As an example, even if Merlin’s current Hallucinating spell had reached the third stage, it would still be unable to entrap a Great Legend, even one who had pitiful and weak Mind Power.

That was an essential disparity, a gulf that could not be bridged. No small tricks were able to surmount this chasm!

If Merlin by himself was faced with these five Rock Creatures, he might even be in danger but with the Tree Folk Alcra, when both of them joined forces, they could explode with a strength that peak Great Wizards or preeminent Great Wizards could not compare to.

“Alcra, isolate the strongest Rock Creature. Trap that one in another place!”

Merlin pointed at the mightiest Rock Creature, and growled.

Alcra nodded, and immediately understood Merlin’s meaning. Therefore, countless roots quickly separated the strongest Rock Creature and the other four, so that neither side could see the other.

Looking at this, a smirk flitted over Merlin’s lips.

“Hallucinate!”

Merlin pointed at the four Rock Creatures. They were only comparable to peak Great Wizards. If they exchanged blows, Merlin might not be able to handle them. However, he was a Mind Power Master, possessing the enigmatic Hallucinating spell which had reached the second stage.

Therefore, dealing with these four Rock Creatures had become much simpler.

After Merlin’s Mind Power had shrouded these four Rock Creatures, without the reminder of the most powerful Rock Creature, the four immediately sank into Merlin’s Hallucinating spell.

“Darkness Demon Spirit, kill!”

Darkness plunged, and the Darkness Demon Spirit emerged from the darkness. It snarled as it viciously attacked the four Rock Creatures. Although these Rock Creatures had formidable strength, and their defenses were not too shabby, they were not as fearsome as Alcra’s defense. Therefore, under a heavy blow from the mighty Darkness Demon Spirit, fine cracks began to grow over the surfaces of their bodies.

A single attack was not enough to destroy the four Rock Creatures, so Merlin continued to direct the Darkness Demon Spirit to wildly attack the four Rock Creatures.

All they could hear now were bursts of a bloodcurdling “bang bang bang” sound.

“Ka-cha.”

At last, one of the Rock Creatures could not stand the frantic attacks anymore, and instantly shatter. They had no life force in the first place, being evolved from mystical rocks. Therefore, after a Rock Creature died, it would turn into pieces of broken rock, falling to the ground.

“No! D*mned Tree Folk and wicked Spell Caster, I’ll kill you both, kill you all, and avenge them!”

That strongest Rock Creature who was individually sealed off by Alcra seemed to still be connected to these Rock Creatures. Naturally, he immediately could feel that one of them had died. Knowing that things did not look good for his four companions, he involuntarily burst into agonizing cries.

“Boom.”

Suddenly, the massive tree body of Alcra’s began to shake violently. That airtight net of roots was now blasted by some enormous force, creating a huge hole. Thereafter, the strongest Rock Creature instantly flew out as fast as he could.

“I’ll come back, haha, if I can’t get this dimension, you can forget about getting it too!”

The Rock Creature’s voice reverberated in the empty air.

“Ka-cha.”

When Merlin’s Darkness Demon Spirit had killed off the last Rock Creature, his face wore a gloomy expression. With one escaped Rock Creature, it was useless no matter how many Rock Creatures he killed.

“Alcra, what happened? How could that Rock Creature escape?”

Merlin furrowed his brows, and looked at the Alcra who had turned into his green-skin self, inquiring in a rather dissatisfied manner.

Alcra sighed and said darkly, “If one was on par with a foremost upper rank Tree Folk, it’s equivalent to your preeminent Great Wizard. That Rock Creature had a life-saving item. He must’ve used the strength of a Great Legend to break through my defenses all of a sudden, and fled. It looks like I’m still a long way from being a Tree King…”

That Rock Creature might possibly have a similar trick like Merlin’s Illusory World, so he was able to shatter Alcra’s defenses. Merlin knew how powerful Alcra’s defenses were.

Nonetheless, now that someone had escaped, this dimension was likely to be exposed, and was no longer safe!

“Wizard Merlin, what do you plan to do?”

Alcra now turned this question to Merlin.

Merlin eyed this Inceptive Dimension. His Mind Power still had not broken through to the Ninth-level. To him, this dimension was of utmost importance. Even staying here for one more day could result in a significant transformation.

“Alcra, are you willing to let go of this dimension?”

Merlin did not reply immediately, and instead asked another question. Both of them exchanged a long and deep look before they broke into smiles.

“Haha, that’s right, of course, I’m unwilling to let go of this dimension. According to my estimation, that Rock Creature must hold a grudge now. If he can’t find any help, he would surely disseminate the specific coordinates of this dimension, attracting more people here.”

In particular, the Rock Creature’s parting words were filled with a depthless hatred. In the open territory, forming deep-seated and fatal grudges were common enough.

Merlin nodded too, agreeing with Alcra’s reasoning. “Indeed, if that Rock Creature can’t find any help and have no hope of getting this dimension at all, he would not let us profit either. After all, we’ve killed four of his companions. However, even if he spread the news and someone finds this dimension, that would still take some time. If we can spend one more day here, we will. Even if someone finds this, with both of our abilities, we could try defending it. Unless a Great Legend arrives…”

Both of them fell silent. If a Great Legend were to really show up, they would have no way of contending.

After a long moment, Alcra bobbed his head, saying in a low voice, “If a being at the level of a Great Legend interferes, we can only give up!”

Merlin’s shining eyes fixed upon Alcra. His friend had an exceptional defense, and must surely have some unknown techniques that even a Legend might not be able to kill him. Thus, Alcra was willing to stay on in this dimension, even at the risk of encountering danger.

Merlin smiled. This dimension was equally important to him. If a Great Legend arrived, he would flee immediately. If his opponent was bent on hunting him down and slaying him, he still had Titus and the Illusory World, a trump card that could facilitate a successful escape.

Both of them had their opinions but neither was willing to give up on this dimension. Therefore, they agreed to stay on in this dimension as long as they could. They would not fear most people, and no matter how strong their opponent was, with their abilities combined, it was a perfect match. Both of their techniques complemented each other, and the power that they had exhibited together came infinitely close to a Great Legend.

Other than a Great Legend, they feared no one else!

With that, Alcra started to wildly absorb the Dimension Core once more. As long as he constantly did so and increased the strength of the nine Saplings, he would boost his power continuously.

If the nine Saplings merged into one and he became an upper rank Tree Folk, Alcra was very likely to become a true freak who could transcend his level to challenge a Great Legend. Tempted by this prospect, it was natural that Alcra would not let go of this dimension so easily.

Merlin glanced at Alcra who was madly advancing his own abilities, staking everything in this endeavor. Why should Merlin not do the same?

“I hope that before a foreign tribe finds this dimension, I can condense a Ninth-level Mind Heart!”

Merlin thought to himself silently. With a Ninth-level Mind Heart, he could just about mobilize the Illusory World. At that point, he would still be unable to defeat a Great Legend but at least he could put up a fight!

With that, both of them harbored their own ambitions, and thought about nothing else. They were set on staying in this Inceptive Dimension, relying on the Elemental Origin to expand their strength.
