“Matrix, begin analyzing Darkness Tide’s Spell Model!”

As he felt the tremendous Mind Power within his body, Merlin no longer had any doubts as he began mobilizing the Matrix and reanalyzed Darkness Tide’s Spell Model.

Darkness Tide’s Spell Model was more complicated. It was even more complex than Dark Light Realm’s Spell Model. However, this was nothing compared to the powerful analytical computing abilities of the Matrix. Very soon, the Matrix had reconstructed many Spell Models.

As Merlin had done many times, he chose the most stable Spell Model among them. It was also the one most compatible with the Spell Models of Dark Light Realm and Dark Mist.

In fact, compatibility became extremely important when a Spell Caster wished to become a more advanced Spell Caster. As his powers increased, he could construct more advanced Spell Models.

Like Second-level Spell Models, not only was there a requirement for certain levels of compatibility with First-level Spell Models but also there must be compatibility with Zero-level Spell Models.

The Spell Model would become problematic if the compatibility level was too low and the entire Spell Model would collapse in mere moments in the end. This was also why advanced Spell Casters were so rare. With every level they progressed to, the difficulty to construct suitable Spell Models increased manifold.

The only reason why Merlin was able to disregard the issues of compatibility and stability of the Spell Models was his possession of the Matrix. He could construct spells calmly and never had to worry about the Spell Models collapsing.

Having chosen the Spell Model, the next step was to simulate the Spell Model into his Awareness by using his Mind Power. This might take up a long period of time. After all, Darkness Tide was just too complex.

Merlin mobilized an immense amount of Mind Power and began to simulate the Darkness Tide’s Spell Model with all his might.

An entire day had passed. With a sudden tremble, Merlin’s entire body released an unnerving dark aura. An endless stream of Darkness Elements was rushing madly into Merlin’s body.

“It’s a success! I’ve constructed Second-level Darkness-type spell, Darkness Tide!”

Merlin opened his eyes. Although he seemed fatigued, his eyes were full of excitement. He had successfully constructed his first Second-level spell. As long as he had sufficient Mind Power, he was able to construct more Second-level spells.

“After Enhancement by Darkness Heart, even those with Fourth-level Mind Power wouldn’t be able to withstand it if the strengthened version of Darkness Tide was released. Perhaps even those with Fifth-level Mind Powers would be somewhat affected.”

Merlin was far too well-acquainted with the power of Darkness Tide. It was of the same origin as Dark Light Realm, only much more powerful. Once released, the Darkness Elements would surge toward the enemy like a tide. It would be extremely terrifying as it was more powerful.

It was even more terrifying due to Merlin’s possession of Darkness Heart. The power of Darkness-type spells would also increase substantially.

Merlin’s strength increased greatly as well after he obtained Darkness Tide. He could be considered to have stepped onto the level of a Second-level Spell Caster. Darkness Tide was an extremely difficult spell among Second-level spells. It would be much easier to construct other Second-level spells after successfully constructing Darkness Tide.

However, speaking of the Kurdmansla Islands, the distance between there and the Dark Magic Region was just too great. The Pandora Demon Ability, Fuse Earth, would be of tremendous help to Merlin, so he could not give up cultivating it.

If Merlin were to go, it may take him a year and a half. Within that period, if his Mind Power were to increase substantially again, it was possible for him to construct a second or third, or even more Second-level spells.

Therefore, Merlin had vaguely decided in his heart that he would first choose a spell most suitable for himself from the Resource Tower before leaving the Dark Magic Region.

When Merlin had obtained the first volume of the Neverending Book, there were spells of various types from the First to Third-levels, providing an abundance of spells. For roaming Wizards, those were naturally enough and more than they could ask for. However, for Merlin, the Dark Magic Region possessed a profound heritage and a long legacy; many of the unique spells there were not in the Neverending Book.

Due to this reason, Merlin had prepared to choose a Second-level spell in the Resource Tower.

“Is a Second-level spell this expensive?”

Merlin frowned. He had arrived at the Resource Tower only to discover that these Second-level spells were easily a hundred or two hundred contribution points each. There were even some Second-level spells that were worth three hundred contribution points or more. These were extremely expensive for many of the Spell Casters in the Dark Magic Region.

However, these spells were extraordinary indeed. They were far more powerful than the Second-level spells recorded in the Neverending Book.

For example, the Fire-type Second-level spell Merlin had chosen, Sea of Purgatory Fire, was even more horrifying than Furious Flame. Once cast, the surroundings became a sea of fire which was as terrible as a purgatory.

There was also the Second-level Earth-type spell, Earth Veil, that would create a light formed by the condensation of Earth Elements around the Spell Caster. This was greater and stronger than Guardian Monument. If Merlin had the opportunity to cultivate the Pandora Demon Ability Fuse Earth to completion, this Earth Guard would become immensely horrifying once it was incorporated into the spell. The strength would increase by three to six folds immediately.

In addition, there was a Second-level Wind-type spell, Light Breeze. The name was simple but it was still far stronger than Wind of Freedom. Once cast, the Spell Caster’s own body would become as light as the wind with increased speed.

Other than these three spells, there was also Lightning Flash. This was a spell that shared the same origin as Thunderlight Ball. The characteristic of being as fast as lightning would manifest, happening in a fleeting flash but with more terrifying destructive power.

Finally, there was an Ice-type spell called Ice Seal Zone. This was an extremely unique spell that would freeze every target within a zone as long as the zone was ice sealed.

The larger the zone was, the weaker the effects of the ice seal. Likewise, the smaller the zone, the more terrible the effects of the ice seal would become.

These five Second-level spells along with Darkness Tide constituted Merlin’s future Second-level spells. Provided that he did not find better spells, he would construct these spells one by one after he had obtained sufficient Mind Power.

“Sea of Purgatory Fire, Earth Veil, Light Breeze, Lightning Flash, and Ice Seal Zone. Matrix, store all of these five spells.”

Merlin instructed the Matrix to record these spells. The five spells were remarkable. Altogether, they cost Merlin more than a thousand and five hundred contribution points.

These were merely Second-level spells, and third-level spells would be even more costly. Fortunately, it was almost a year soon and Merlin would be able to receive ten thousand contribution points from the Dark Magic Region again.

After Merlin had chosen the Second-level spells and made impeccable preparations, he paid a visit to Wizard Leo’s house to bid him farewell.

“Teacher Leo!”

Merlin’s voice rang out. Following that, the huge doors slowly opened. There were traces of weariness on Wizard Leo’s face. It seemed that he had been doing some sort of experiment which was making him very tired.

“Merlin, what’s the matter?”

Although Wizard Leo had been frowning and looked weary, he still asked with a pleasant countenance upon seeing that it was Merlin.

“Teacher Leo, I’ve come to bid you farewell. I’m ready to pay the Kurdmansla Islands a visit.”

Merlin gave a simple statement on his reason for the visit. Wizard Leo’s eyebrows, however, became more tightly furrowed. It was only after a long moment that Wizard Leo slowly opened his mouth to speak. “Indeed, Lava Soil can only be found on the Kurdmansla Islands, but it’s very far from the Dark Magic Region. If anything happens to you, I’m afraid I’d have no way of getting there in time.”

Although Merlin had been in Floating City and Tolle City, in reality, Wizard Leo had always been paying attention to Merlin. In addition, there was a powerful deterrent force in the Dark Magic Region. Other than Ozmu, no one else dared to fight Merlin.

However, it would be different on the Kurdmansla Islands, which were too far away from the Dark Magic Region. Many Spell Casters had never even heard of the Dark Magic Region, so what impact could that have?

If he were to run into danger there, the Dark Magic Region would be helpless as well. Merlin’s decision of traveling to the Kurdmansla Islands this time was actually a lot more dangerous than before.

“Teacher Leo, I’ve already made sufficient preparations!”

Merlin spoke staunchly.

A long moment passed before Wizard Leo nodded his head and said, “Very well, your capabilities can’t be considered weak anyway. The typical Fourth-level Spell Casters aren’t able to fight you. To be a great Spell Caster, you still have to go out often and experience the various wonders of the Spell Caster’s world. In the future, this will also be very advantageous for you to construct your own unique spells.”

Wizard Leo finally approved of Merlin going to the distant Kurdmansla Islands.

Just as Merlin was about to leave, Wizard Leo said, “Wait for three days before you leave the Dark Magic Region. After three days, pay me a visit here. I’ll make you a life-saving object.”

Having said this, Wizard Leo shooed Merlin out.

“Three days to make a life-saving object? Since he said it’s life-saving, I’m afraid this isn’t a simple object.”

Merlin cast a glance at Wizard Leo’s house. He felt a glimmer of eagerness for that life-saving object Leo was going to produce in three days.

Merlin could truly feel the sincere concern of a tutor for his student from Wizard Leo. It was the same as it had been with old man Etha. Although he had a weird temper, Merlin had always felt grateful for old man Etha.

Having left Wizard Leo’s house, Merlin fell into contemplation for a few moments. Finally, he still felt that he should take the opportunity during these three days to teach Emma more.

Emma did not have the Matrix, and Merlin did not intend to directly take out the Spell Model constructed by the Matrix. This was Merlin’s greatest secret, one that he would not reveal before anyone.

Furthermore, Merlin wanted to nurture Emma into a true Spell Caster. Naturally, he could not use such dubious and opportunistic methods to teach Emma.

“Teacher?”

When Emma saw Merlin outside the house, excitement showed up clearly on her face.

Merlin nodded and said, “After a few days, I’ll leave the Dark Magic Region. So, during these few days, I’ll be teaching you and imparting some knowledge on constructing Spell Models.”

Although Merlin depended on the Matrix to construct Spell Models, he had become a First-level Spell Caster after all. Having spent such a long time in the Dark Magic Region, he knew some things about constructing Spell Model even though he had never constructed one personally before.

That was more than enough for him to teach Emma. Thus, Merlin waited quietly as he taught Emma.

Three days passed by in the blink of an eye. Merlin glanced at the highest level of the Wizard Tower as his heart filled with curiosity at the life-saving object that Wizard Leo would make. Therefore, he had come early to Wizard Leo’s house and waited quietly.
