Chapter 253: Student?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bluebird’s entire body was submerged in white flames, leaving only her mournful cry. “Merlin, Kleis will find you. You’ll never be able to surpass Kleis. Haha...”

With a blank face, Merlin quietly watched Bluebird who descended into madness within the flames. Once one was caught in Fiery Collapse, even if one had a robe, it was impossible to withstand it.

After a short moment, Bluebird had no life force left and gradually disappeared along with the blaze. Soon, her body reduced to ashes, leaving only a ring that had fallen to the ground.

“Kleis? It turns out that it’s because of Kleis that you’ve come to kill me. It’s a shame that you were willing to go against Ozmu’s orders. Now that you’ve ended up like this, your Kleis is unable to save you at all...”

Merlin muttered in a low voice. There was now a burnt ring in his hand. This was Bluebird’s ring, which was now in his possession.

He had vaguely surmised the relationship between Bluebird and Kleis from Bluebird’s words earlier. This time around, Bluebird had even gone against Ozmu’s orders, for she did not “entice” Merlin. Instead, she tried to kill him right away, resulting in her own demise by Merlin’s hands.

Once Bluebird was dead, the eyes of every Spell Caster shifted to the Neverending Book lying on the ground. However, the previous battle between Bluebird and Merlin had planted a hint of fear in their hearts, so naturally, they did not dare to come forward and retrieve the Neverending Book.

Nonetheless, Merlin did not even glance at the Neverending Book on the ground. Instead, he turned around immediately, and said to Laurinka, “Laurinka, let’s go. There’s nothing to see here.”

“Hmm? He doesn’t want the Neverending Book?”

Many Spell Casters were shortly speechless. Seeing that Merlin did not want the Neverending Book lying on the ground, they began to form ideas.

Very soon, the Shadison clan’s leader, Wizard Rhind, swiftly picked up the Neverending Book from the ground. He stared at it, and then at Merlin who was turning to leave. His expression revealed that he was wrestling with a complicated decision.

In the end, Wizard Rhind gnashed his teeth harshly and shook his head slightly. “Wizard Merlin, hold on!”

“Hmm? Wizard Rhind, what’s the matter?”

Merlin furrowed his brow and asked in a low voice.

Wizard Rhind held the Neverending Book in his hand with a complicated look on his face. He clenched his jaw and handed the Neverending Book to Merlin and softly said, “Wizard Merlin, I better give you the first volume of the Neverending Book. Otherwise, I’m afraid that the Shadison clan will know no peace from now on.”

Wizard Rhind looked around somewhat helplessly at the surrounding crowd of Spell Casters. He had now understood that with the strength of the Shadison clan, it was completely impossible to hog onto the Neverending Book. Even if they publicly disclosed the spells in the Neverending Book, they would still attract the attention of Spell Casters who wanted to obtain information about the so-called “second and third volumes of the Neverending Book” from the first volume.

Therefore, under the pressure of these circumstances, Wizard Rhind knew that the Shadison clan would only be safe and sound if Merlin received the Neverending Book.

Not only did Merlin have great strength but he was also able to kill the infamous Bluebird from Ozmu. Furthermore, Merlin had the entire Dark Magic Region backing him. This was a spell casters’ organization, and no one would dare to confront Merlin over a mere volume of the Neverending Book. The retaliation of the Dark Magic Region was surely not something that any roaming Wizard or Spell Caster clan could withstand.

Merlin lifted his head and looked at Wizard Rhind, then nodded gently. He knew clearly the situation that the Shadison clan was facing and understood Wizard Rhind’s reasoning. No matter what, they would not be able to hold on to the Neverending Book, so they might as well bestow it upon Merlin in front of everyone, in order to befriend Merlin and perhaps shift the attention of the roaming Wizards.

“I’ll take the Neverending Book then!”

Merlin hesitated for a moment but in the end, he agreed to receive the Neverending Book. There were plenty of spells in it, which would be greatly beneficial for him to fill up the number of spells within the Matrix.

In particular, the first volume of the Neverending Book might perhaps truly contain the location of the second and third volumes of the Neverending Book.

“The Neverending Book is a very generous gift, so of course I must return Wizard Rhind a similarly generous gift!”

A mysterious smile tugged at the corner of Merlin’s mouth, following which his gaze suddenly turned to the Fourth-level Spell Caster of the Doret clan, Wizard Sabis.

Seeing Merlin’s stare, Wizard Sabis’ face changed, and a turbulent wave of Wind Element immediately emerged around him. Subsequently, he speedily retreated, yelling, “Regarding what happened today, we, at the Doret clan will not bother the Shadison clan by looking into this!”

“Pandora Demon Ability, Fiery Collapse!”

Without a moment’s notice, Merlin pointed his finger and the terrifying white blaze instantly flared up once more. Only this time, it was aimed at Wizard Sabis.

Wizard Sabis had previously witnessed that the white flames released by Merlin were able to reduce the haughty and contemptuous Bluebird into ashes, so he knew that he stood no chance against it .

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Even though Wizard Sabis had tried his opportunity to escape, he could not outrun the speed of Fiery Collapse. The flames covered the sky, forming a giant blinding screen of fire that enclosed Wizard Sabis in the middle.

Even if the Defensive spell on Wizard Sabis was a Fourth-level spell, it was of no use as Merlin had already completed cultivating the first stage of Fiery Collapse. It could merely hold out for a short moment.

In a few moments , the Defensive spell on Wizard Sabis collapsed and he was engulfed by the white flames the same way Bluebird had been previously.

“Tssss.”

Even Wizard Rhind sucked in the air through his teeth. However, after seeing that Wizard Sabis was dead, an ecstatic beam immediately blossomed on his face.

Wizard Sabis had been the strongest Spell Caster in the Doret clan. Once he was dead, the Doret clan, which had always been at loggerheads with the Shadison clan, fighting them openly and undermining them covertly in Tolle City, would completely be unable to withstand the Shadison’s clan subsequent attack.

“Haha, Wizard Merlin, that is a generous gift indeed!”

Wizard Rhind could not help but roar with laughter. Following which, his gaze fell menacingly onto the remaining Spell Casters from the Doret clan. This was the best opportunity for the Shadison clan to thoroughly exterminate the Doret clan.

“Let’s go, Laurinka!”

Merlin kept the Neverending Book. He had dealt with Wizard Sabis. Without any Fourth-level Spell Caster, the Doret clan had no strength to strike back at the Shadison clan. It was only a matter of time before they were totally swept out of Tolle City.

Laurinka bobbed her head, finally letting out the breath she had been holding inside. The Shadison clan was able to avert a crisis and even turned the situation around, all thanks to Merlin.

However, just as Merlin was about to leave, he saw a familiar figure standing before him, blocking his way.

Before this, Merlin had sensed that he saw someone familiar, but he could not recall who it was. Nonetheless, as he saw the person standing before him now, a recollection finally surfaced in his mind.

“Teacher!”

The one who was standing in his way was Emma, who used to be a young maiden from Ditas Town. Emma had now grown into a beautiful woman, her eyes twinkling with unmatched excitement.

“Teacher? Wizard Merlin is Emma’s teacher?”

Shireen, Haya, and the rest who were originally with Emma were stupefied for a moment. They had never held any hope at all regarding the “teacher” who Emma was always looking for.

However, Emma’s teacher was, in fact, Wizard Merlin who had killed Bluebird earlier. This made Shireen and Haya momentarily doubt that Emma’s teacher was truly the powerful Merlin, it was inconceivable.

“Emma...”

In his mind, Merlin was still recalling the innocent and carefree Emma from two to three years ago. Back then, he had given Emma three Zero-level spells and even made a three-year pact.

However, this three-year pact was merely something that Merlin had gone along with at that time. Up until now, he had forgotten about it. If he had not bumped into Emma here, he would not have remembered at all that he still had one such “student” in Ditas Town.

“Emma, since you’re here, follow me to Shadison Manor first.”

Merlin said to Emma. However, Emma looked toward Shireen, Haya, and the rest. Merlin had known Shireen and Haya long ago – they were two Wizards whom he had met when he was on his way to Tolle City.

“Come along as well.”

Merlin nodded his head and said in a calm voice. Following that, Shireen and the rest, with a gleeful expression, followed behind Merlin as they walked into Shadison Manor.
