“Sigh…”

Merlin heaved a long sigh. Luckily, he had recorded everything about Fuse Earth in the Matrix. He could read it again after returning to the tower.

Hence, Merlin placed Fuse Earth back into the jade box. Then, he turned around and bowed slightly to the Guardian Wizard. Following that, he left the door and returned to the Dark Magic Space.

Wizard Heusius was waiting silently for Merlin in the Dark Magic Space. Upon seeing Merlin, Wizard Heusius revealed a smile and asked Merlin, “Wizard Merlin, have you found the Pandora Demon Ability that you need? I’ve never been through that door before…”

Heusius glanced at Merlin with admiration. Although he was a Seventh-level Spell Caster, he did not possess any Pandora Demon Ability. Since he had never made any important contribution to the Dark Magic Region, he never had the chance to enter the door and pick a Pandora Demon Ability for himself.

Merlin nodded, “I finally found what I needed. Wizard Heusius, can we return to the Dark Magic Region now?”

He could not wait to return to the tower to study the newly-obtained Fuse Earth.

Wizard Heusius nodded, then brought Merlin to a Runic Magic Circle in the Dark Magic Space. A white light flashed and covered Merlin and Wizard Heusius. In an instant, both figures disappeared along with the flashing of lights.

“Boom! Boom!”

A bright light flashed in the tower and the red vertical eye on Wizard Leo’s forehead immediately opened wide. The eye let out strings of red light.

“Swish! Swish!”

Two figures walked out of the light. It was Merlin and Wizard Heusius who had just left the Dark Magic Space.

“Teacher Leo!”

After seeing Wizard Leo, Merlin revealed a smile. Wizard Leo nodded slightly. “Great, Merlin. It seems that you’ve found a Pandora Demon Ability that’s suitable for you.”

After a slight pause, Wizard Leo smiled at Wizard Heusius. “Old fool, I must thank you this time. Merlin, let’s go!”

Then, Wizard Leo brought Merlin and left Heusius’ tower.

During their journey, Wizard Leo did not ask Merlin about the Pandora Demon Ability that he had chosen. Instead, it was Merlin who could not stop himself from telling Wizard Leo. “Teacher Leo, I’ve exchanged for a Pandora Demon Ability called Fuse Earth in the Dark Magic Space.”

“Hmm? Fuse Earth? I’ve heard of that, it’s quite good. It’s a Defensive Pandora Demon Ability, and it can also be incorporated into your spell. It’s indeed a Pandora Demon Ability that’s most suitable for you!”

Wizard Leo smiled. Apparently, he knew well about Fuse Earth.

Following that, Wizard Leo headed straight toward the top floor of the tower while Merlin returned to his room.

“Matrix, get me the information on Fuse Earth!”

Merlin instructed the Matrix to give him the information on Fuse Earth which it had recorded in the Dark Magic Space. Although Merlin had read through the information before, he was not able to look at the details of the information.

“Fuse Earth requires Lava Soil… Where do I find Lava Soil?”

Merlin frowned. The cultivation of the Pandora Demon Ability was not difficult. There might be some Pandora Demon Abilities that had a horrendous cultivation method. At the very least, the cultivation of Merlin’s Glacial Finger and Fiery Collapse was not difficult. Only the cultivation of Darkness Heart was slightly difficult.

However, the most difficult part of cultivating Pandora Demon Ability was finding the items needed during cultivation. When Merlin cultivated Glacial Finger back then, he had obtained the hundred years’ ice bone marrow from Wizard Sammir.

Meanwhile, the item needed to cultivate Fiery Collapse was already prepared in the ancient monument. In the case of Darkness Heart, the cultivation was mostly based on Merlin’s understanding and reflection. Of course, Merlin would not be able to do it without Wizard Leo’s Clarity Stone.

Thus, it was most difficult to find the item needed to cultivate the Pandora Demon Ability. Take the cultivation of Fuse Earth for example. Merlin didn’t even know where he would find Lava Soil.

“Lava Soil. It should be an Earth-type item. I may be able to exchange for some books that introduce rare items of all types from the Resource Tower.”

Merlin thought for a moment, then stood up and headed toward the Resource Tower.

The Resource Tower was bustling with people. Most of them were official members of First-level and above. However, Merlin’s presence in the Resource Tower still caused quite a stir.

After all, Merlin’s current identity was very different from before. He was a Six-Elemental Spell Caster. Moreover, there were rumors going around that Merlin had killed two Third-level genius Spell Casters from Ozmu.

He was more active than Kleis back then, so even Third-level Spell Casters would nod to Merlin when they saw him.

Merlin was familiar with such treatment since he had been the center of attention in Tolle City then. Almost all Spell Casters of Shadison clan would show him their utmost respect when they saw him.

“Yeah, it’s here. Earth-type potion material, alchemy material, and some rare items. I want these three books.”

Merlin looked around randomly and found these three books related to Earth-type items. No matter if it was about potion materials, alchemy materials or rare items, Merlin had exchanged for them as long as they were related to Earth-type. These books might be helpful for Merlin to locate Lava Soil.

These three books were not expensive; they cost a total of less than fifty contribution points. Of course, Merlin did not consider this amount to be expensive since he had ten thousand contribution points. Even if he used up one thousand contribution points, he still had a lot left that could support his usage for a long time.

Moreover, he did not come to the Resource Tower very often, so he had little chance to use his contribution points.

After exchanging for these three books, Merlin let the Matrix to record all the content of the books. He did not have the time to read through the books in detail.

“The Matrix, find me the information about Lava Soil.”

After recording the content of these books, Merlin directly searched the content with the help of the Matrix.

“Beep. Search completed. One information found. Lava Soil, mainly found in volcanoes, is a special type of soil which was formed after buried for thousands of years. It’s a vital alchemy material. Rumors have it that there are many active volcanoes in Kurdmansla Islands and Lava Soil may be found from one of the volcanoes.”

The Matrix had indeed found useful information about Lava Soil from the books.

Merlin was overwhelmed with elation. Lava Soil was an alchemy material, apparently used to transfigure a powerful alchemy product. However, the cultivation of Fuse Earth required the use of Lava Soil to be successful.

Moreover, the information also mentioned the rough location of Lava Soil. It could be found in the volcanoes at a place called the Kurdmansla Islands.

“Kurdmansla Islands? That place, huh. This is kind of troublesome…”

Merlin frowned. He had heard about Kurdmansla Island before. It was in the vast sea far away from the land and the Dark Magic Region. Instead of Death Sea, it was located in the true ocean near north.

Kurdmansla Islands was not under the influence of any spell casters’ organizations such as the Dark Magic Region or Abyss Fort. In fact, the place was very famous for it was rich in rare potion and alchemy materials.

Hence, many roaming Wizards had gathered in Kurdmansla Islands. There were even Wizards from spell casters’ organizations.

Merlin really wanted to look for Lava Soil at the volcanoes in Kurdmansla Islands. However, after careful evaluation, he thought that his ability was currently still lacking. Going to Kurdmansla Islands was different from going to Floating City and Tolle City. There were powerful sea creatures of all levels there, be it Fifth, Sixth or even Seventh-level.

The roaming Wizards there might also be Seventh-level Wizards. Although it was rare to have roaming Wizards who had become Seventh-level Spell Casters, the matter was not impossible. These Spell Casters mainly lived on the Kurdmansla Islands, subtly creating a commanding aura for the place.

Thus, Kurdmansla Islands was almost an equal influence on Sterling House as described in the Dark Magic Region’s books.

If Merlin wanted to go to Kurdmansla Islands, he must improve his overall strength no matter what.

To improve his overall strength, the most plausible way to do it was to construct Second-level spells. Merlin’s Mind Power had grown sufficiently strong now. Although he was still far from having Fourth-level Mind power, constructing a Second-level spell should not be an issue.

The Second-level spell that could drastically improve Merlin’s ability was undoubtedly the Second-level Darkness-type spell, Darkness Tide. Once he had constructed Darkness Tide, Merlin could truly have the ability to stand against a Fourth-level Spell Caster in his top form with the enhancing effect of Darkness Heart.

“I still need a little more Mind Power to construct Darkness Tide. Let’s wait until the Mind Power duplicate in the Bell Space has doubled again. Then, I’ll construct Darkness Tide.”

Merlin had made the decision in his mind, so he simply stayed in the tower to concentrate on meditating without taking a step out of the tower.

“Buzz…”

After a few days, the Bell Space at Merlin’s chest vibrated violently. Merlin opened his eyes and muttered to himself, “It seems my Mind Power duplicate has reached its limit again.”

Thus, he rapidly extended his Mind Power into the Bell Space to have a look. As expected, his Mind Power duplicate had reached its limit. With the Bell Space, the rate at which Merlin’s Mind Power increase had sped up drastically.

“Merge!”

Without a moment of hesitation, Merlin merged the Mind Power duplicate in the Bell Space with his own Mind Power. Instantly, his Mind Power spiked up.

“Phew…”

Merlin heaved a long sigh. He felt that his Mind Power had increased to an unimaginable level. Such powerful Mind Power was definitely sufficient for him to construct his Second-level spell, Darkness Tide.
