Chapter 439: 439
On the quiet beach in the Dark Magic Region, there were still flocks of seafowl frolicking above the sand . It was a calm, serene scene .
“Phew…”
Merlin let out a long sigh . “Thank goodness, everything must still be fine . ”
What he most worried about was that the Dark Magic Region had suffered an attack from Ozmu . However, from the looks of it, the Dark Magic Region was still peaceful . As for the exact developments that had occurred due to the chaos of the southern Spell Caster world caused by the war between the Three Major Spell Caster organizations and Ozmu – the Wizards of the Mill clan had limited knowledge after all . The Dark Magic Region, being a spell casters’ organization, should know the most about this .
Therefore, Merlin wanted to learn of the entire story, so he began to walk quickly toward the Dark Magic stone tablet . This stone tablet appeared to be ancient, marked by the mottled traces of time .
The black cat Didimoss did not appear . Merlin did not give that any thought and hurried further ahead .
“Hum . ”
A transparent light enveloped Merlin, following which numerous tall towers appeared before Merlin . He was back once again in the familiar Dark Magic Region .
Merlin could not discern what he really felt toward the Dark Magic Region . In terms of feelings, what he had valued most about the Dark Magic Region was Wizard Leo but Wizard Leo was now dead .
Although it appeared as if the Dark Magic Region did not provide Merlin with much assistance, it still had a great influence on Merlin . It was only after he joined the Dark Magic Region that Merlin had truly begun to grow stronger .
Even if his Pandora Demon Abilities were not supplied by the Dark Magic Region, it was linked to his membership in the Dark Magic Region . Furthermore, the Runic Heartprint, the robes he had worn when he was a weakling, and so on, were all connected to the Dark Magic Region .
Besides, Merlin had always been a Spell Caster of the Dark Magic Region . The brand of the Dark Magic Region was firmly imprinted on him . It was just like Wizard Leo, who was formidable thanks to Darkness Eye, which had nothing to do with the Dark Magic Region .
Nevertheless, no matter what, outsiders viewed Wizard Leo as a representative of the Dark Magic Region . This was because Wizard Leo had been deeply marked by the brand of the Dark Magic Region .
It was the same for Merlin . No matter how powerful he was, how terrifying his abilities, he would be seen as a Spell Caster from the Dark Magic Region . He had no way of escaping the influence of the Dark Magic Region unless he acted as Kleis did, and betrayed the Dark Magic Region .
Nonetheless, Merlin had signed a contract of the highest grade with the Dark Magic Region . He could not betray them even if he wanted to . Despite the power of the Maxim residing in his Awareness now, Merlin had no way of terminating a contract of the highest grade .
Initially, Merlin wanted to hurry toward the tower of the Seventh-level Spell Casters, but he directed a glance toward another tower in the distance . This was Wizard Leo’s tower .
Wizard Leo was already dead . According to the rules of the Dark Magic Region, the tower would be demolished within a year but Wizard Leo’s tower was not yet torn down even now .
Merlin looked at the tower soaring into the clouds and thought of Wizard Leo . He raised a palm and glanced at the crimson eye in his palm . This was the greatest gift Wizard Leo had given him .
It was just that this great gift was now giving him a headache .
“Swish . ”
Merlin immediately flew into the sky . This time, he was no longer relying upon a Flying casting tool for flight . He was now a true Fourth-level Spell Caster and could utilize a Wind-type spell to fly directly at a relatively decent speed .
Soon enough, Merlin arrived at the towers of the Seventh-level Wizards . This was not a place unfamiliar to him for he had come here a few times before .
There was a servant of the Seventh-level Wizards in the towers . Merlin knew the servant of the Seventh-level Wizard Robia . He was named Arveis .
Upon seeing Merlin, an odd look crossed Arveis’ face . He hurried forward and said in a low voice, “Wizard Merlin, this is the tower of Seventh-level Wizards . Without being summoned by them, one isn’t allowed to enter without permission . It’s better if you leave here quickly . ”
If it had been anyone else, Arveis would have even chased them off immediately . However, Merlin was a prodigious Spell Caster most valued by the Dark Magic Region, even more so than Kleis had been, and enjoyed an uncommon position in the Dark Magic Region . Therefore, even though Merlin had arrived at the Seventh-level Wizards’ towers without permission, Arveis did not dare chase him out immediately .
Merlin’s expression did not change . After eyeing Arveis, he said calmly, “Wizard Arveis, where’s Wizard Robia? I’m looking for him about an important matter . ”
“Wizard Robia?”

Arveis was Wizard Robia’s servant . Naturally, he knew very well the whereabouts of Wizard Robia . The fact that Merlin had a very important matter to report to Wizard Robia caused Arveis to hesitate for a bit .
Nonetheless, Arveis took into account Merlin’s special position and nodded . “In that case, Wizard Merlin would have to wait for a moment . Wizard Robia and other Seventh-level Wizards are discussing a matter of vital importance . It has been two days since they began . ”
“Discussing a matter of importance? Which is to say that they’re in the Dark Magic Hall?”
Merlin mentioned the Dark Magic Hall, which was where the Seventh-level Wizards would convene for meetings to decide major matters of the Dark Magic Region . The entire hall was protected by a Runic Magic Circle and was very secure .
“That’s right, the Wizards are in the Dark Magic Hall . ”
As soon as Arveis had spoken, Merlin was like an apparition, disappearing in a flash . His speed caused Arveis to be unable to see clearly what happened .
“Wizard Merlin, you…”
Wizard Arveis stared after Merlin with mouth agape . He was a Fourth-level Spell Caster too but after seeing Merlin’s speed, he knew it was not something he could catch up to .
Moreover, in that instant, Arveis had even detected a frightening force from Merlin . Nonetheless, it had disappeared quickly as if it was just an illusion .
“How could he be so fast?”
Even though Arveis could not catch up to Merlin, he had to hurry after him regardless . Otherwise, if he really allowed Merlin to run into those Seventh-level Wizards, there would be great trouble . Not only would Merlin be punished, even he himself would be out of luck .
Merlin was very fast but he had not cast Flash Wind . Otherwise, he would have been even faster . Merlin was not familiar with this tower but he was more acquainted with the Dark Magic Hall .
Previously, he had been brought by Wizard Leo into the tower . Merlin was no stranger to the Dark Magic Hall, and his Mind Power quickly locked onto the place .

Robia and the other Seventh-level Wizards had gathered in the Dark Magic Hall . Something major must have happened . After all, now that the entire southern Spell Caster world had descended into chaos, one must not be deceived by the appearance of calmness in the Dark Magic Region . The official members of the Dark Magic Region had their own channels of information . They knew as well that chaos had consumed the outside world .
These official members of the Dark Magic Region knew of the situation outside . Therefore, this immediately resulted in the various potion materials, spells, and other items of the Resource Tower to be exchanged for in large volumes . Some Spell Casters were already making quiet preparations . No one could guarantee that the Dark Magic Region would not be caught up in the chaos .
Particularly, Ozmu had announced a threat toward all spell casters’ organizations of the entire southern Spell Caster world . They were a mad bunch and would live up to their promise . The Dark Magic Region was at risk as well, being a spell casters’ organization .
Therefore, the Dark Magic Region had been making covert preparations .
Soon enough, Merlin reached the entrance of the Dark Magic Hall . He squinted slightly and discovered that the door of the Dark Magic Hall was cloaked in dense runes .
Most Spell Casters would be unable to get past these runes at all . Seventh-level Spell Casters could not even possibly force their way through . However, this was nothing much to Merlin . He possessed the Runic Heartprint, which was able to easily unravel Runic Magic Circles .
In particular, it was even easier if it was a Runic Magic Circle in the Dark Magic Region .
Merlin took a deep breath, after which the Runic Heartprint between his brows gradually twinkled . Mysterious runes quickly flew toward the doorway of the Dark Magic Hall .
“Hum hum hum . ”
The Runic Magic Circle of the Dark Magic Hall, under the powers of the Runic Heartprint, began to dissolve gradually . The entire Runic Magic Circle lost its effect in an instant .
“Creak . ”
Merlin easily reached out and pushed the doors open lightly . A distinct sound was emitted by the two doors as they were slowly pushed open .
“Wizard Merlin, no!”

Arveis had finally hurried all the way here but he was too late . When he saw Merlin pushing open the doors, he knew that this time, the punishment was inevitable . Therefore, a look of resentment filled his eyes as he looked at Merlin .
“Who?”
“How impudent – you dare intrude upon the Dark Magic Hall?”
Within the great hall, countless gazes were direct at the doorway . The owners of these gazes were all powerful Seventh-level Spell Casters who enjoyed a lofty position in the Dark Magic Region .
However, once they were disturbed by Merlin, the expressions of these Spell Casters who had already been in a bad mood now darkened even further .
“Merlin?”
Seeing that it was Merlin in a black robe who had opened the door, some Seventh-level Spell Casters frowned slightly . Merlin was a genius Spell Caster highly valued by the Dark Magic Region, to the point where they were willing to gift him with ten thousand contribution points every year . This was the first time something like this had happened in the Dark Magic Region, which showed how highly they treasured him .
However, no matter how much they valued him, the dignity of the Seventh-level Spell Casters within the Dark Magic Region must still be upheld . Therefore, Wizard Robia stood up furiously, and roared toward the doorway, “Arveis, get your sorry self in here now . ”
Arveis was still bemoaning his misfortune and gave Merlin a fierce glare, following which he entered the great hall respectfully . He said softly, “Wizard Robia, this time Wizard Merlin said that he had an important matter to consult with the Seventh-level Wizards . I was unable to stop him at all . ”
“An important matter?”
At this, Wizard Robia shifted his attention toward Merlin and sized him up . In fact, what he had noticed in particular was that Arveis had said he could not stop Merlin .
It should be known that Arveis was a Fourth-level Spell Caster, one whom Wizard Robia had personally instructed before . Arveis’ capabilities were considered comparatively formidable in the Dark Magic Region . It was unusual that he was unable to stop Merlin .
Nonetheless, after Robia had carefully sized up Merlin, he seemed to notice something, and a strange look glinted in his eyes . With a trace of glee, he asked, “Wizard Merlin, you’ve broken through?”
“Broken through?”
Upon hearing what Wizard Robia said, the crowd of Seventh-level Wizards in the hall turned serious as they quickly directed their gazes at Merlin .
