Chapter 618: Crisis I

“Blackfire, it’s been such a long time since my Setoh Arcane City disciples left for the front line but you haven’t asked about your disciple Merlin at all.”

In a resplendent palace, white-robed Arcane Wizard Setoh chatted like an old man with the Blackfire Lord about “daily family affairs”.

“Meow, old fart, how’s Merlin?”

As if it heard the word “Merlin”, the black cat Didimoss immediately opened its eyes with excitement. Now, Didimoss had become a real fat cat. It was almost bigger than a dog, and looked quite amusing. However, from its size, it could be seen that Didimoss spent its days quite well. It had devoured some powerful foreign tribes.

Arcane Wizard Setoh did not care about the black cat’s “disrespectful” address. Instead, he gently grabbed the black cat Didimoss, and stroke its smooth fur. He said slowly, “Didimoss, you haven’t forgotten your old friend. Very good, your friend Wizard Merlin is very safe. He formed a very impressive team with Saturn and the others, and caused a storm in the Seely Dimension. They’re almost reversing the situation in the Seely Dimension, and giving our Spell Casters the upper hand…”

Arcane Wizard Setoh spoke to both the black cat Didimoss as well as the Blackfire Lord.

“Hm? Hanra finally made his move. Blackfire, your disciple might be in trouble!”

Arcane Wizard Setoh seemed to have sensed something as his expression slowly darkened.

“Whoosh.”

The Blackfire Lord whipped his head up and said, “The Rock Tribe is preparing for a decisive battle?”

“Decisive battle? No, they haven’t prepared for that, and neither have we. Hanra will not be that hasty. However, Merlin’s squad has caused too much disturbance in the Seely Dimension which resulted in a huge impact. Hanra won’t let something like that go. Earlier, he had sent his secret squad, the Progenitor Squad, out of their hideout. They’re heading toward the Seely Dimension.”

“The Progenitor Squad? That’s somewhat troubling. This team was specially set up by Hanra and has great strength. It’s not something that any of our current squads can contend against. Why don’t you send a Legend over? Since Hanra is so unscrupulous, we don’t have to be courteous anymore.”

A hint of anger seeped into the Blackfire Lord’s tone.

“Let me go then, old fart. I’ll eat up that whatever Progenitor Squad!”

The black cat Didimoss quickly perked up, and said “fiercely”.

Arcane Wizard Setoh shook his head lightly and said, “Didimoss, you can’t be exposed yet. While you’re here, no one will know your existence but the moment you’re exposed, I’m afraid that old coot Hanra will kill you at all costs. Your potential is limitless. I won’t let you leave until there’s something to protect you.”

After a pause, Arcane Wizard Setoh continued. “Blackfire, the situation between the Rock Tribe and us is on the verge of exploding but Hanra is still holding back. We have no plans to involve Legends yet. Once they’re involved, I’m afraid it’ll really become a civilization war. At that time, it’ll be beyond Hanra’s and my control… That’s why we can’t send out Legends. Hanra has the Progenitor Squad but don’t we have something as well?”

“Oh? Setoh, you’ve already prepared for this?”

The Blackfire Lord raised his head, his face expressing doubt. He had always been at the front line but he did not see any particularly powerful squad.

“Bolt, come in.”

Arcane Wizard Setoh suddenly shouted at the door.

“Creak.”

The huge palace doors opened, and a handsome and extremely young Spell Caster wearing pale blue Wizard robes walked in. However, there was a peculiar life force around him. Runes revolved around his body constantly.

“A preeminent Great Wizard? No, it should be the strongest being below Legend!”

The Blackfire Lord said with certainty after carefully sensing the mysterious Wizard.

“That’s right. Bolt is a Six-Elemental Spell Caster. A few decades ago when I was overseeing the Seely Dimension, I found him and told him to look for some extremely gifted Spell Casters, especially those gifted in Runology. Thereafter, I spent a few decades devoting myself to the study of Runic Magic Circles. Finally, on the foundation of multilayer Runic Magic Circles, I’ve improved an even more powerful multilayer Runic Magic Circle and let Bolt and the others learn. Bolt, how is the Mille Squad’s practice going?”

Arcane Wizard Setoh asked calmly.

The Blackfire Lord’s eyes narrowed slightly, constantly looking at Bolt. An Ultimate Arcane Wizard seemed to be proficient in everything about Spell Casters. Even if Arcane Wizard Setoh was not an expert in Runology, if he had a few decades to specially study Runic Magic Circles, it would be very frightening as well.

It turns out that Arcane Wizard Setoh had already started making preparations decades ago.

Multilayer Runic Magic Circles itself could multiply a Spell Caster’s power. However, a Spell Caster had to have extremely high attainments in Runology. If a Spell Caster did not profoundly study Runology, it was impossible to use a multilayer Runic Magic Circle.

The blue-robed Wizard Bolt respectfully answered, “Great Arcane Wizard Setoh, as per your instructions, I’ve found several Spell Casters with extremely high Runology attainments. They’re all preeminent Great Wizards and have been practicing the multilayer Runic Magic Circle that you gave us for a long time. According to our previous demonstrations, with one strongest being below Legend, he just needs another four preeminent Great Wizards proficient in Runology to deploy a multilayer Runic Magic Circle, and release the power of a Great Legend!”

“Oh, only five Spell Casters are needed. Not bad, Bolt. Not bad at all. You’ve practiced for a long time. Now’s the time for you to show your abilities.”

Arcane Wizard Setoh’s tone gradually became solemn.

However, Bolt became excited, and quickly said, “Please give us your instructions, Arcane Wizard Setoh!”

“The Rock Tribe has a Progenitor Squad that’s currently heading toward the Seely Dimension for one of our powerful squads. Your task is to stop the Progenitor Squad. If condition permits, it’s best to defeat the Progenitor Squad!”

“Please be rest assured, Arcane Wizard Setoh. We’ll definitely do our best to stop the Progenitor Squad!”

Saying that, Bolt stood up excitedly, and quickly left the hall.

The Blackfire Lord looked at Bolt’s leaving figure, and said thoughtfully, “If there were more Wizards like Bolt, we would’ve got the advantage even without Legends interfering.”

“More? Blackfire, how many can you find in the entire Spell Caster civilization who are proficient in Runology and become a Great Wizard, particularly preeminent Great Wizards?”

Arcane Wizard Setoh also looked helpless. Runology involved a large amount of energy, and Spell Casters would generally focus their energy on constructing spells. Thus, there was no or little energy to study Runology.

Spell Casters like that were truly difficult to find. That was why even after looking for so long, only a few of such teams were formed. Bolt was the only one below Legend who was proficient in runes.

In the dark and gloomy Void Zone, a special group of Rock Creatures silently flew into the Seely Dimension.

“Whoosh.”

This special squad of Rock Creatures stood mid-air in the Seely Dimension.

“What a familiar feeling… This really isn’t any different from our hometown. The Seely Dimension has already been transformed and should be a dimension belonging to our Rock Tribe. Those Spell Casters should all scram! Do you know our target, the Progenitor Squad?”

The Rock Creature taking the lead stared at the other six Rock Creatures with cold eyes.

“Captain Eli, we know. We’re here to kill the Rainbow Squad.”

Eli nodded. “Yes, it’s that hateful Rainbow Squad. The Progenitor had sent us here with high hopes for us, so we mustn’t fail. The Spell Casters would already know our situation. Our movements won’t be hidden from them. However, I have a way to distract them. Each of you, take out a small piece of your Heart Core.

“Ah? Captain, the Heart Core is our foundation. Once damaged, it’ll have a huge impact on us…”

Hearing Eli telling them to take out a piece of their Heart Core, the other six Rock Creatures turned pale, slightly unwilling.

“Hmph, take out a little of the Heart Core to transform them into us. That’ll be enough to confuse those Spell Casters! Remember, this time, our task can only succeed. I cannot fail. What’s losing just a little of your Heart Core? When we go back, we’ll naturally get a reward. Our Heart Cores will soon be replenished!”

Saying that, Eli formed a pitch-black piece of rock the size of a fist, emitting intense life force. A black light flashed on his hand and gradually, the stone quickly melted, and began to take shape.

Before long, the cold stone became another “Eli”. Even its life force was the same, making it impossible to distinguish between the two.

It was made from a Rock Creature’s Heart Core, and was no different from the Rock Creature itself. The only difference was that Rock Creatures formed by such a little Heart Core was extremely weak.

Seeing that Captain Eli had already done it, the other six Rock Creatures could only grit their teeth, and take out a small portion of their Heart Cores, which then transformed to their appearance.

Before long, another “Progenitor Squad” appeared.

“Very good. Now, we’ll go in two directions. The Heart Cores will make some noise to attract the Spell Caster squads. Hehe, we’ll attack the Rainbow Squad first. If the other party still finds us, we’ll fight a good fight with them but before that, we still have to ensure that we complete the task the Progenitor gave us!”

Captain Eli slightly narrowed his eyes, having full confidence in this plan.

Then, the two identical “Progenitor Squads” split into two directions and flew deeper into the Seely Dimension…
