Chapter 541: The Legend Zado

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin came to the Mind Tower. Merlin was filled with confidence this time while he looked at the lofty building.

The Mind Tower was wondrous indeed. Previously, Merlin had merely made it to the ninth floor, and his Mind Power had grown many times over. Thanks to some techniques he had learned on the ninth floor, he was able to break through to an Eighth-level Mind Heart in just a few months. The benefit brought to a Spell Caster’s Mind Power by the Mind Tower was hard to imagine.

This was a technique that only the Ultimate Arcane Wizards possessed. Other than Arcane City, other places, even places managed by Honored Legends, would not have something as mystical as the Mind Tower.

It was not surprising that Arcane City was able to assemble countless geniuses from the myriad of dimensions of the Spell Caster civilization. The Mind Tower alone was enough to attract countless Spell Casters, something no other place could compare to. In addition, there were other marvelous places such as the force field area.

Merlin did a quick check. Initially, he was left with five hundred Adventure points but entering the Bloodshed Universe had used up two hundred Adventure points. Now, he had merely three hundred Adventure points.

Nonetheless, attempting the Mind Tower required only a hundred Adventure points so Merlin had enough to attempt the tower.

Just as Merlin was about to enter the Mind Tower, he encountered someone familiar, who came down from the distant sky and landed before the Mind Tower. It was the plump Wizard Arrot.

“Wizard Merlin, you’ve come out of the Bloodshed Universe at last. I know that you wanted to stay there for a full ten days’ time hence, I was prepared to look for you today. However, the Great Legendary Wizard said that you had left already. Thereafter, I found out that you’ve come to the Mind Tower.”

Arrot wore an anxious expression.

“Wizard Arrot, what’s going on?”

Merlin stopped in his tracks and asked.

“Sigh...”

Arrot seemed to have a difficult time saying it before he clenched his teeth and said softly, “Wizard Merlin, you’ve entered the Bloodshed Universe at an inopportune time. Just six days ago, three Great Legends came to our newest batch of Potential Wizards to select disciples.”

“Great Legends selected disciples?”

Merlin was slightly stunned. Great Legends were not allowed to stay in Arcane City but there was one exception, which was the Recruiting Wizards of Arcane City.

These Recruiting Wizards were Great Legends with extremely formidable powers, and there were even some of them who were higher-ranked Honored Legends. In Arcane City, if one was noticed by these Great Legends, one might be made a disciple.

Back then, the Legend Mogan had felt that he was merely a Legend with one Maxim. He might not be the best Wizard to guide Merlin. Thus, he hoped that by sending Merlin to Arcane City, Merlin would be taught by a Great Legend or even an Honored Legend.

Now that chance had arrived!

“What’s the situation exactly?”

Merlin even felt a trace of regret. He could have gone to the Bloodshed Universe at any time but he would not get another opportunity like this once he had missed it. After all, these Recruiting Legends would only select a disciple occasionally. One might say that it was done on impulse, and it was even harder to encounter an Honored Legend.

Arrot wore a distressed look as he said powerlessly, “Two out of the three Great Legends are Great Honored Legends. At first, they seemed to have a rather good impression of you but upon discovering that you’ve gone to the Bloodshed Universe, they had selected Wizard Rael and Saturn.”

A disappointed look crossed Merlin’s face. Those two Great Honored Legends would not have waited just for Merlin’s sake. After all, even the most genius Spell Caster would face many difficulties in becoming a Great Wizard, to say nothing of becoming a Great Legend or even an Honored Legend.

“However, there’s still the third Great Legend. He has been waiting for you to come out. So, after learning that you’re out, I’ve instantly looked for you to bring you to that Great Legend.”

Arrot smiled as he spoke. He was happy for Merlin for the fact that a Great Legend was willing to wait just for Merlin for so many days.

“Oh? Which Legends is that?”

Merlin was extremely curious. It was very rare that a Great Legend would wait just for him. Arcane City was not lacking in geniuses, so it was rather easy for Great Legends to take on any kind of genius disciples they wished to. They would not wait just for someone in particular.

Therefore, this Great Legend had induced an inquisitiveness in Merlin.

“This Great Legend is the Legend Zado! Wizard Merlin, come quickly with me to meet the Legend Zado. It’s just a shame that the Legend Zado isn’t a Great Honored Legend. If you had been around that day, out of those two Great Legends, one of them would surely pick you. You’re far stronger than Rael.”

Arrot seemed rather indignant.

Although Merlin was somewhat regretful, it was not so easy to encounter an Honored Legend. Even up until now, after entering Arcane City, Merlin had not seen any Great Honored Legends.

“Come on, we mustn’t let Wizard Zado wait any longer.”

Therefore, with Arrot leading the way, both of them flew off into the distance.

...

“Swish swish.”

Two figures landed from the sky before a castle. This was the place where Wizard Zado was staying. He had been waiting here just for Merlin for six full days.

“Wizard Merlin, go in. Wizard Zado had said that when you’ve arrived, you’re to go in and see him immediately.”

Arrot pointed toward the castle. He was only bringing Merlin here. Without the Great Legend’s permission, he dared not enter the castle.

Merlin nodded. “I’m very thankful to you, Wizard Arrot.”

“Haha, it’s nothing. I think highly of you. Although I can’t be considered much of a genius in Arcane City, I have a good eye. When you’ve succeeded in the future, you’ll surely be stronger than Saturn. At that time, it might be me who would need favors from you.”

The rotund Wizard Arrot spoke with a laugh. Merlin bobbed his head. Arrot was straightforward indeed. He had helped Merlin plenty in Arcane City. In terms of Merlin’s relationships, Wizard Midnight whom Merlin met in the Bloodshed Universe along with Arrot, Saturn, and the rest, could be considered relatively close to Merlin.

Following that, Merlin slowly walked into the castle. Arrot watched Merlin’s disappearing figure from outside the entire time, his eyes filled with admiration. He mumbled to himself, “How I envy him, to have a Great Legend waiting for him... how many years has it been since something like this had happened in Arcane City?”

Arrot shook his head. When he could no longer see Merlin, he turned to leave.

...

At the castle, Merlin gently pushed open the large door. This door appeared to very heavy but it swung open under Merlin’s gentle push.

“Is that Wizard Merlin?”

A deep and resounding voice rang out in Merlin’s ear. Merlin lifted his head to see a Wizard, well-built and dressed in a golden robe, standing in the hall. He exuded an incomparably suppressive force.

Merlin was familiar with this force. When he had first entered Arcane City, Merlin had felt a similar force from Saturn’s teacher, the Legend Blackcloud who had formed four Maxims.

However, this Legend Zado before him had an even more impressive force than the Legend Blackcloud, rousing Merlin’s amazement.

“Wizard Zado, you’ve waited for long!”

Merlin said deferentially.

“Hehe, since you know that I’ve waited for a long time, you’d better satisfy me! If you do, six days’ wait is nothing but if you don’t, you’ll be punished!”

This Legend Zado had a rather strange temperament. If Merlin did not satisfy his requirements, Merlin would be punished. Merlin understood that the Legend Zado was testing him. One would have to undergo a test in order to become the disciple of the Legend Zado.

“How may I satisfy Wizard Zado?”

“It’s simple. I’ve created a subspace from a Maxim in my grasp. If you can come out from that place in one piece, I’ll be very satisfied, and you can be my disciple!”

“A subspace constructed using a Maxim as a foundation?”

Merlin’s face shifted. This was no test but a suicide mission. Just as he was about to decline, a cold smile tugged at the corner of the Legend Zado’s mouth. “Oh right, you’ll have to rely on your own strength to pass the test. As for your Spatial Ring and that peculiar cat with you, they’d better stay with me.”

With that, the Legend Zado made a gentle gesture and Merlin’s entire body became stiff. On his shoulder, the black cat Didimoss also seemed to detect the danger, and immediately burst out with a mighty roar, his body swelling rapidly in size.

“Bang.”

With a soft sound, Legend Zado’s large hands flickered with a multi-colored light, and he swiped forward viciously. The black cat Didimoss was immediately entrapped without being able to put up the slightest resistance, caught in the Legend Zado’s grasp.

As for Merlin’s Spatial Ring, it had appeared in the Legend Zado’s hand at an unknown time.

Merlin was utterly dumbstruck. The black cat Didimoss was on par with Great Legends but was caught by the Legend Zado without the slightest resistance. How terrifying was this Legend Zado standing before him?

“Go on in... Oh right, just a reminder – if you can’t withstand my Maxim Subspace, you might actually die... At worst, I’ll be reprimanded by the Arcane Wizards. Go ahead, enjoy yourself.”

Wizard Zado’s breezy delivery caused Merlin’s face to shift greatly. How was this a proper process of recruiting a disciple?

However, he could not even open his mouth at the moment, and could only watch helplessly as Wizard Zado made a great swipe, hurling him into a deep and dark subspace...
