“The library?”
Merlin raised his head and looked closely at the two gigantic doors in front of him . At two sides of the doors, there were two stone piers with monsters, which Merlin had never seen before, carved on them . They appeared life-like where they sent a chill down people’s spine .
A strange aura clinged to the library of Abyss Fort .
Merlin frowned, then glanced at Wizard Leo .
Wizard Leo appeared calm as he said, “Go in and choose the spells you need!”
Merlin nodded, then took a deep breath and walked toward the door .
Right after he stepped onto the stairs, he immediately felt a blanket of darkness before him . It was as if his surrounding had turned dark suddenly . He had lost all senses; he could neither see, hear nor feel anything .
“Illusion?”
Merlin was in shock . Since he had experienced countless illusions when he was in Darkness Void and while cultivating Darkness Heart, he was rather familiar with illusions by now . When he was caught up in situations like this, he immediately knew that this was an illusion .
Soon, without letting out his strong conviction, the marking of Darkness Heart on Merlin’s chest began to give off a warm presence . Following that, Merlin felt a numbing and cooling sensation in his mind . Then, he came back to his senses .
This was the ability of Darkness Heart . Obviously, he was attacked by a Darkness-type spell earlier, and Darkness Heart had blocked most of the effects of the spell attacks . With Darkness Heart, especially the third type, it was almost impossible for Merlin to be injured by a Darkness-type spell .
“Who is it?”
Wizard Leo was the first to react . The red vertical eye on his forehead flashed a bloody red, then the light shattered the space and was shot toward a dark place .
“Bang!”
There was a dull sound . Then, a skinny black-robed old man showed up even after taking the attack from Wizard Leo’s Darkness Eye . He stumbled forward a little; the blow given by Darkness Eye was apparently harsh on him as well .
“Darkness Eye?”
The skinny old man’s expression kept changing with a hint of shock . Then, he glanced at Merlin and exclaimed with a low voice, “Darkness Heart!”
The skinny old man’s gaze kept darting back and forth between Merlin and Wizard Leo while wearing a dark expression . He was a Seventh-level Spell Caster, but it turned out that he could not even delude Merlin with his spell . Moreover, he even became flustered by Darkness Eye of a Spell Caster who was barely a Sixth-level .
“Wizard Leo, don’t misunderstand . This is Wizard Treman who takes care of the library!”
After Wizard Hobbes saw the skinny old man, he quickly budged in to explain .
Wizard Leo did not cast his Darkness Eye further; he simply stared at the skinny old man with the red vertical eye on his forehead, without the slightest intention to lower his guard .
Merlin also stared at the old man in confusion . The latter had obviously cast a spell earlier, but he did not notice even the slightest movement . This was enough to prove that this old man was at least a Seventh-level Spell Caster .
However, the Darkness-type spell cast by the Seventh-level Spell Caster was easily blocked by Merlin’s Darkness Heart . This also revealed another ability of Darkness Heart – the ability to block most of the Darkness-type spells .
In other words, even the Darkness-type spells cast by the Seventh-level Spell Casters would not be able to harm Merlin at all .
After a moment, Wizard Hobbes seemed to have cleared the confusion with the skinny old man, Wizard Treman . Then, he approached Merlin and said, “Wizard Merlin, you can enter and choose your spells now . After choosing them, Wizard Treman will undo the Runic Magic Circles on the spells for you . ”

Merlin nodded . The library of Abyss Fort was the same as that of the Dark Magic Region where spells were protected by unique Runic Magic Circles . One could only read the content after Wizard Treman had undone them personally .
Thus, Merlin proceeded forward, and the two gigantic stone doors were slowly pushed open . His figure then disappeared from others’ sight .
The skinny old man, Wizard Treman, took a long glance at Wizard Leo and said, “Darkness Eye, not bad . You cultivated the true Darkness Eye!”
After saying that, the old man entered the library following Merlin .
Wizard Leo was unmoved regarding the skinny old man’s words . The sole eye on his forehead looked at Merlin’s back, and the scene slowly coincided with the figure that popped in his mind .
“Raydore… My brother, he looks just like you! Have you returned to me at last?”
Wizard Leo mumbled with his head lowered while revealing a nostalgic expression .
…
Right after he entered the library, Merlin felt a chilly sensation . The library was very different from the Resource Tower in the Dark Magic Region . The Resource Tower was always packed with people and appeared lively while this library seemed quite empty . It seemed as if people had not visited this place for a long time .
Merlin was a little confused . “Does no Spell Caster in Abyss Fort choose their spell here?”
“Abyss Fort is different from the Dark Magic Region . There’re not many Spell Casters in Abyss Fort since not all Spell Casters can adapt to Darkness-type spells… Alright, take your pick quickly . Your teacher, Leo, is actually willing to exchange for your chance to choose spells here with his Darkness Eye . You should make good use of it . ”
Behind Merlin, a sharp and piercing voice rang abruptly . It was Wizard Treman who had quietly attacked Merlin earlier .
Merlin nodded as if he was deep in thought . Then, he began to read a large number of spells available in the library .

These spells were not entirely Darkness-type spells . After all, Abyss Fort was only good at Darkness-type spells . They still needed other types of spells if they aimed to become powerful Spell Casters .
It was just that a major portion of the spells in the library was Darkness-type spells; they took up about thirty percent of all spells .
Merlin easily found the shelves that contained Darkness-type spells . On the shelf, any spell, ranging from Second-level to Sixth-level, was available . Furthermore, there was a wide variety of them; Merlin had a hard time selecting his picks from the vast options .
“If you can construct Six-Elemental spells, I’m sure that you’re quite knowledgeable in terms of constructing Spell Models . Since Leo has paid such a great price for you to choose your spells here, surely he doesn’t expect you to choose ordinary spells . Hehe, if you’re confident, choose your spells from the last row . The most peculiar, powerful, and complicated spells are all kept there . ”
Wizard Treman was staring at Merlin when he realized that Merlin did not know where to begin, thus he hinted Merlin by pointing at the last row of the shelves .
Merlin was elated . He had the Matrix with him, so he was not afraid of the complexity of the Spell Models . On the contrary, he would need to choose the ones that were most compatible with him and contained stronger power . After hearing Wizard Treman’s suggestion, Merlin no longer wasted his time at other places . He headed straight toward the last row of shelves .
Only a small portion of spells was placed here . Merlin took one out randomly and flipped it open lightly . After reading through the introduction, Merlin was immediately hooked on it .
The spells here were not any ordinary spells . They either possessed a special effect or were exceptionally strong . However, their Spell Models were also quite complicated .
Dark Mist and Dark Light Realm in which Merlin had constructed were also kept in this row .
However, this time, Merlin had to choose the spells of Second-level to the Sixth-level . He would pick one spell for each level . In the case of a Seventh-level spell, not a single spell casters’ organization would possess any . Once he reached the peak of a Sixth-level Spell Caster, he would need to derive the spell that was most suitable to him if he was to become a Seventh-level Spell Caster . Other spells would not be helpful at all .
Merlin carefully considered all spells on the shelf . He would construct it in his Awareness in the future once he chose a spell, so he would need to think it through before making his choice .
Wizard Treman was not rushing; he squinted his eyes and slowly observed Merlin as Merlin flipped through the available spells without a sound .
After about four or five hours, Merlin finally showed a smile on his face . Currently, there were two books in his hands . This meant that he had chosen two spells .

These two spells were Second-level Darkness-type spell, Darkness Tide and Third-level spell, Darkness Vortex .
The spells both carried a strong hallucinating effect . Should he construct and cast Darkness Tide, the effect of his attack would be even more terrifying than Dark Light Realm . The darkness would befall upon the people strongly like an endless tide .
Meanwhile, Darkness Vortex was well-known for its ability to devour all Mind Power . If a Spell Caster with a powerful Mind Power fell into Darkness Vortex, his Mind Power would be consumed and he would fall into the illusion .
These Second and Third-level spells were extremely powerful and had complicated Spell Models . Many Spell Casters in Abyss Fort did not choose these two spells easily .
Merlin could quickly choose his Second and Third-level spells, but he had to be extra cautious when choosing the Fourth-level .
As soon as he chose the Fourth-level spell, he could merge it with Darkness Heart . Thus, Merlin had to be careful about the spells of Fourth-level and above .
“Darkness Nightmare, the ultimate hallucinating spell . It’s able to delude people with its extremely realistic illusion without them knowing it . Moreover, its illusions were layered, making it difficult to differentiate between reality and illusions . It induces fear in people just like a nightmare does…”
Finally, Merlin set his gaze on a spell named Darkness Nightmare . This spell was coincidentally a Fourth-level spell and was considered the ultimate hallucinating spell .
Such a spell could make most Spell Casters fall into his illusions . Of course, if even Darkness Nightmare could not delude the person, no other spells could delude the person at all .
Moreover, once one’s Mind Power had exceeded a certain extent, it would be difficult for them to be deluded . It was the same for a spell that was stronger; it could hardly delude the Spell Casters with superb Mind Power .
Hence, the Fourth-level spell, Darkness Nightmare, was considered the ultimate hallucinating spell . Fifth-level spells and above were mainly correlated with illusions and physical attacks . Illusions were mainly just a supportive spell .
Following that, Merlin chose the Fourth-level spell, Darkness Nightmare, without hesitation . Merlin had been in the library for about three days now .
Merlin still had to choose his Fifth-level spell and Sixth-level spell . At this point, this was a whole new area for him because Darkness Nightmare was considered the ultimate hallucinating spell . After this mark, Darkness-type spells would slowly be improved toward the aspect of physical attacks .
After all, a hallucinating effect was not the only good points from a Darkness-type spell!
