Chapter 214
In the vast Bramble Mountain, Merlin was running about without a clue where he was going . He had been observing the Dark Magic ring on his finger . According to the signal given by the Dark Magic ring, he gradually found a hidden Runic Magic Circle .
By sight, it appeared that the Runic Magic Circle had not been activated in a long time .
The Dark Magic Region was extremely secretive . No one knew the exact whereabouts of the Dark Magic Region . The only way to enter the Dark Magic Region was via these Runic Magic Circles . Furthermore, the Dark Magic Region truly possessed many Runic Magic Circles; they were almost everywhere . Only the Spell Casters of the Dark Magic Region could find these Runic Magic Circles by following the signals given by the Dark Magic ring .
Merlin was long familiar with the Runic Magic Circle, so he directly stood on the circle . Following that, his Mind Power triggered the Runic Magic Circle . Instantly, mysterious runes popped out of the circle and reacted with the runes on the Dark Magic ring .
After Merlin's ring was recognized by the Runic Magic Circle, a strong pulling force appeared and its bright light surrounded Merlin .
"Swish!"
The light flashed and the forest resumed its silence once again . Meanwhile, Merlin's figure had long disappeared and was transported to the Dark Magic Region .
…
The moist air, the cooling sea breeze, and the seagulls that played on the beach . As Merlin watched the familiar scene, he finally heaved a long sigh .
"The Dark Magic Region… I'm finally back!"
Once again, Merlin had returned to the Dark Magic Region . Roughly estimating the time, he had left the Dark Magic Region for about a year . Now that he had returned, he found that nothing had changed much .
Merlin approached the huge stone tablet . Looking at the stone tablet, Merlin reminisced about the time when he first came to the Dark Magic Region . He was simply a rookie Wizard who did not understand anything then .
Now, he had improved so much that he could easily kill a Third-level Spell Caster .
"Sir Didimoss . "
Merlin came close to the stone tablet and called out to it .
Immediately, a haze flew out of the stone tablet and slowly turned into an arrogant black cat .
"Oh? It's you, Wizard Merlin! You return quite late . Most of the Spell Casters who have left the Dark Magic Region have returned by now . "
Didimoss obviously still recognized Merlin . After it saw Merlin, it exclaimed while wearing a look of expectations .
Merlin smiled slightly and understood Didimoss' meaning behind its words . Thus, he directly took out a few Ice-type elemental crystal stones from his ring and passed them to Didimoss .
The black cat's face brimmed, and its figure enlarged drastically . It bit into the Ice-type elemental crystal stones which Merlin gave and crunched them into pieces .
Finally, the black cat revealed a satisfied expression and nodded . "Wizard Merlin, that's great . The taste of the elemental crystal stones this time is extremely good . Go in quickly!"
Thereafter, the black cat reverted to a black light and dived into the stone tablet . Following that, a grayish light pierced the open space, just like ripples in the water .
Merlin raised the Dark Magic ring on his finger and entered the Dark Magic Region .
…
Merlin stood quietly in front of Wizard Leo's tower . Upon seeing the desolated situation at the tower, Merlin's mouth quirked into a smile . As compared to other towers, Wizard Leo's tower always appeared to be desolate .
Walking into the tower, Merlin saw Wizard Howl who was working on his potion . To Wizard Howl, nothing was more important than his potion-making .
"Wizard Howl!"
Merlin called out to Wizard Howl and the latter gave a rather monotonous response . However, he then quickly raised his head and stared idly at Merlin .

"Wizard Merlin, you just came back?"
Wizard Howl asked with a strange expression .
Merlin nodded . "Yeah, I did . Wizard Howl, can I help you with anything?"
Wizard Howl shook his head . "Not me, it's Teacher Leo . He was looking for you before, but you aren't back in the Dark Magic Region yet, so he just let it be . Wizard Merlin, it's very unusual . Teacher Leo rarely looks for anyone, so you're the first one!"
"Teacher Leo is looking for me?"
Merlin thought for a moment, then quickly excused himself from Wizard Howl . He entered the Runic Magic Circle and headed toward the top floor of the tower .
"Swish!"
Right after Merlin's figure disappeared, Wizard Howl raised his head again . However, he revealed a thoughtful expression as he muttered, "How strange . This feeling is just like a First-level Spell Caster! Has Merlin become a First-level Spell Caster? Six-Elemental First-level Spell Caster . How is this possible? Maybe I've sensed it wrongly…"
Wizard Howl shook his head slightly, then went back to making potions .
…
"Teacher Leo!"
Merlin came to the top floor and knocked on the door lightly . He called out softly .
"Creak . "
After a moment, the door opened and Merlin walked into the room . Wizard Leo still appeared to be terrifying; the red vertical eye on his forehead seemed to blink a light red and his eyes did not reflect any emotion .
However, there was something different with Wizard Leo . The place where his right arm would have been was empty . He had obviously lost his right arm .

"Teacher Leo, what happened?"
Merlin's expression darkened and quickly asked .
Wizard Leo looked at Merlin and revealed a rare smile . "It's nothing . I just lost an arm but I've killed the Seventh-level Spell Caster of Ozmu, Osseus! It's worth it!"
Although Wizard Leo's tone was calm, his words made Merlin jumped . A Seventh-level Spell Caster was extremely powerful, not to mention he was from Ozmu, known to be full of geniuses .
However, Wizard Leo had killed a Seventh-level Spell Caster of Ozmu with the price of an arm . Merlin could not imagine how fierce the battle had been .
However, since Wizard Leo had killed Osseus, he seemed to have changed as a person . Wizard Leo used to give off a depressed and terrifying aura that scared people away . Now, he no longer gave off the same aura .
"Merlin, I called for you before but you didn't return to the Dark Magic Region in time . Is everything alright?"
Wizard Leo asked calmly .
Merlin had thought about the reason a long time ago . Of course, he would not mention Pandora Demon Ability . Merlin believed that Pandora Demon Ability existed in the Dark Magic Region as well and Wizard Leo would not go after his Pandora Demon Ability . After all, Darkness Eye was sufficiently powerful .
However, Merlin decided to keep it a secret . Hence, he briefly explained the situation using the spell-cultivation as his excuse .
"I was trapped in an ancient monument, so I stayed patient and cultivated my spells there . After I became a First-level Spell Caster, I was able to leave the ancient monument by luck and returned to the Dark Magic Region . "
After Merlin had finished his explanation, Wizard Leo's expression changed and he quickly asked, "You said that you've become a First-level Spell Caster?"
At the same time, the red vertical eye on Wizard Leo's forehead slowly opened and emitted a red light that enveloped Merlin .
Under the red light, Merlin felt as if all secrets were exposed before Wizard Leo .

"You're truly a First-level Spell Caster . Six-Elemental Spell Caster?"
Wizard Leo's eyes were filled with shock . He knew about Merlin's background . When he left the Dark Magic Region, he had not constructed any First-level spells yet .
Now, not only did Merlin construct First-level spells but he had also constructed six First-level spells . He had even constructed the complicated Frigid Ice and Dark Light Realm!
Moreover, Merlin had only left the Dark Magic Region for about a year . In other words, Merlin had used a year's time to successfully construct six First-level spells .
"Haha, Merlin . I can't believe you brought me such a huge surprise, coming back here . What is Kleis to you? You're the true prodigy of the Dark Magic Region!"
Wizard Leo appeared to be elated . This was the first time a Six-Elemental First-level Spell Caster had appeared in the Dark Magic Region since its establishment . Even Kleis who had betrayed the Dark Magic Region was only a Five-Elemental Spell Caster .
"Good, Merlin . You've two options now . Firstly, you can sign a contract with the Dark Magic Region and become an official member . You're able to enjoy all resources available in the Dark Magic Region . Correspondingly, you've to shoulder some responsibilities in the Dark Magic Region . Secondly, you can return the Dark Magic ring and leave this place . You'll become a roaming wizard with no binding or whatsoever by the Dark Magic Region . Correspondingly, you won't be able to enjoy any cultivation resources available in the Dark Magic Region . "
Wizard Leo laid out two options – they were the choices all temporary members of the Dark Magic Region would need to face when they had advanced to First-level Spell Casters .
Since a long time ago, Merlin had already decided . When he was in Floating City, he had met so many roaming wizards; these people had to explore the dangerous ancient monuments in order to obtain some potion materials or spells . How could their cultivation method compare to that in the spell casters' organizations?
Naturally, Merlin chose the first option – to become an official member of the Dark Magic Region!
"Teacher Leo, I chose to become an official member of the Dark Magic Region . "
Upon hearing Merlin's answer, Wizard Leo was not surprised . Almost all temporary members would choose to become official members of the Dark Magic Region after becoming First-level Spell Caster . This was so that they could enjoy the vast resources available in the Dark Magic Region .
"Good! Merlin, since you've chosen to become an official member of the Dark Magic Region, then you must sign a contract with us . Before signing it, I want to bring you to meet those old guys . Hehe . What is yours must be given to you . I'll try my best to fight for your benefits!"
Wizard Leo revealed a strange smile, then brought Merlin away from the tower . They flew toward the few tallest towers in the Dark Magic Region .
Merlin was taken by surprise . The tallest towers that they were heading toward signified the true core of the Dark Magic Region – the powerful Seventh-level Spell Casters!T无头苍蝇 literally means a headless fly . It means "without a clue" or "clueless" .
