Chapter 529: 529
“Hoo… . ”
Out of a sudden, a strong gust of wind whooshed across the barren hillside, and a few figures landed on the hillside . The hillside was unevenly scattered with ragged rocks and shallow ditches . Moreover, it appeared to be plain and unassuming hence there seemed to be nothing special about it .
“Where’s the Rock Tribe?”
Saturn frowned . He looked at Deutz beside him . Deutz was currently being controlled, and did not bring his giant dragon . He had led Saturn and the others directly to this hillside .
Deutz looked around and said affirmatively, “This is the place . The last time I met Gustia, it was here . Follow me, just below the hillside, there should be a huge crypt . ”
Thus, Deutz led them down the hillside to an inconspicuous spot, and then gently pressed a boulder .
“Rumble . ”
The hillside began to quake . Subsequently, a huge crack appeared, and revealed a pitch-black staircase, which bottom could not be seen .
“This should be the place of the Rock Tribe . According to my information, the Rock Tribes are underground creatures . Regardless of where they are, they would choose to live underground . ”
Saturn had read some information about the Rock Tribe . Although they had never met the Rock Tribe, they were able to make some basic judgment based on this information .
“Let’s go down . ”
Merlin and the others were just about to descend when suddenly, the entire hillside quaked . Especially near the huge crack, the quake was even more treacherous, like a horrible aura was awakening .
“We’ve been discovered! Soon, he’l come out… Might as well, saves us the effort to look for it underground . Let’s fly up first . ”
Sensing this strong quake immediately put everyone on guard . The Rock Tribe’s Gustia must have discovered Merlin and the others . In any case, Merlin and the others were not surprised because they did not intend to hide in the first place . They wanted to draw Gustia out .
The ground was still quaking but soon, from the staircase behind the crack, a black-robed human figure flew out . With narrowed eyes, it looked very sinister .
“Spell Casters? Where are you from? Don’t you know that the Rock Tribe and the Spell Casters have a pact in the Seely Dimension?”
This black-robed figure questioned them upon emerging .
Saturn sneered . “Gustia, how dare you mention the pact? Does the pact allow a Rock Tribe like you who’s comparable to a Great Wizard to enter the Seeley Dimension?”
“Oh? It seems like you know some things… However, I’m very curious . What do you actually know?”
Although he saw that Merlin and the others knew its name, Gustia did not panic but appeared to be unruffled .
“We don’t have to know anything because once we catch you, we’ll naturally find out everything . ”
“Catch me? Haha, that’s ridiculous! Looks like you don’t know anything at all but it’s okay . Soon, the Seely Dimension will belong to the Rock Tribe . Even when you find out, you won’t be able to do anything because the entire dimension will be transformed into a dimension suitable for the survival of Rock Tribe . ”
Gustia laughed gleefully . At the same time, his figure exploded into chunks of large rocks .
“This is troublesome . So, the conspiracy of the Rock Tribe is to make the first move at all cost in order to transform the Seely Dimension into a rocky dimension!”
The hearts of Merlin and the others sunk . They, of course, knew the meaning of transforming a dimension . The Rock Tribe excelled particularly in transforming dimensions . They were non-living entities so the dimensions that they lived in were nothing but desolate rocks .
Their so-called transformation plan was to transform the entire Seely Dimension into rocks . Anything and everything would be transformed into rocks, just like the rocks scattered around the hillside .
Once the transformation by the Rock Tribe was successful, then the elements on the Seely Dimension would quickly disappear . It would then turn into a place that was unsuitable for Spell Casters to dwell .
“Damn it . That horrible Rock Tribe is making the first move . Originally, the Seely Dimension has elements and is suitable for us, Spell Casters to live here . However, if their transformation is successful, then the Spell Casters will have one less suitable dimension to live in!”
“The Rock Tribe’s abilities are similar to us, Spell Casters . If they really succeeded at transforming the dimension, I’m afraid we’ll not wage war with the Rock Tribe for a dimension with no elements . Therefore, we mustn’t let them succeed . We must pass this message to Arcane City as fast as possible and get the Great Ultimate Arcane Wizards to stop them . ”
The expressions on Merlin and the others had changed significantly thinking about the distressing implications caused by transforming the dimension .
“Hehe, thinking of leaving? You must be sent by Arcane City to investigate the situation in the Seely Dimension . Arcane City is known as the greatest holy place for you Spell Casters, and all Spell Casters there are prodigies among prodigies . Killing you can also reduce some future threats for the Rock Tribe . ”

Gustia revealed his true form, which was an incomparably massive Rock Giant, towering over a hundred meters, almost like a small mountain peak . His aura, too, was extremely formidable . Just a slight hint was enough to make Merlin and the others feel suffocated .
“Black-armored Puppet, go!”
Vic immediately released his puppet . Pitted against the Rock Tribe, his puppet should be able to subdue him for a short while .
“Smash!”
Looking the Black-armored Puppet, the Rock Giant merely gave a gentle wave of his hand, and the Black-armored was vehemently pressed into the ground . Then, with a single punch, the Black-armored Puppet was crushed into fine powder .
“How could he be so strong? My Black-armored Puppet had mobilized all its strength, which is basically comparable to a powerful Great Wizard . How was it unable to withstand even one attack?”
Vic was dumbfounded, his eyes filled with incomprehension .
“Haha, you won’t be able to escape . ”
Gustia rumbled in laughter . In an instant, the entire hillside quaked strongly . Countless chunks of large boulders floated into the air and rapidly formed a stone wall which surrounded Merlin and the others securely .
This stone wall was extremely sturdy . Even their spells were unable to break it .
The most common ability of the Rock Tribe was to control rocks . The more powerful the Rock Tribe was, the stronger his ability to control rocks . He could even increase the hardness of the rocks many times over .
Taking into account the formidable defensive power and strength of the Rock Tribe, Spell Casters did not have any special advantage to combat the Rock Tribe . All they could do was to face them head-on .
“Sh*t, Gustia isn’t an average Rock Tribe but probably has an existence that’s infinitely close to a Great Legend!”
Saturn said with a grave expression . Even without Saturn’s reminder, just by looking that the terrifying power that Gustia had demonstrated, and the suffocating aura he had emitted, everyone was well-aware of Gustia’s threat level .
Their estimation had been wrong, and the price of being wrong was extremely steep . If he was just an average Great Wizard or even a slightly stronger peak Great Wizard, they would not be completely helpless and would still be able to put up some semblance of resistance .

However, Gustia was an existence infinitely close to a Great Legend . There was not even a trace of hope for them .
“Pathetic Spell Casters . ”
Gustia gently flicked his fingers, and all the Defensive spells on Vic’s body as well as his robes, were immediately broken . Moreover, the immense power even slammed Vic viciously onto the ground until he was treading a thin line between life and death .
“How pathetic . ”
Gustia cruelly pressed down another palm . Rael’s entire body roared, and a column of fire shot up into the sky, seeming to almost melt all the rocks around them . However, following Gustia’s palm movement – Rael, Seddon, and Olga were all pressed onto the ground . It was only due to their respective special techniques that they were not immediately killed .
However, they were close . Just another attack from Gustia would surely kill them .
In the blink of an eye, this strongest team of six had lost more than half its force . All that was left was Merlin and Saturn .
“Will you be able to withstand it?”
Merlin glanced at Saturn . Saturn shook his head and said, “My mentor gave me some life preservation techniques, which might be able to resist Gustia temporarily, but still, we can’t escape…”
After he spoke, a hexagon-shaped unique casting tool appeared in Saturn’s hand . He pressed it firmly, and used his Mind Power to activate the power within it .
A pale white light orb appeared and covered Merlin and Saturn, which faintly contained the aura of a Maxim .
“Bang!”
Gustia used all his strength to hit the light orb but it only quivered slightly and resumed its original form .
“Hmm? This must be the power possessed by the Legends among your Spell Casters . Although all of you Spell Casters are pathetically weak, those Legendary Wizards are quite impressive . Nevertheless, you’re not real Legends, so how long can you rely on this turtle shell?”
Gustia guffawed, and madly hit the light orb with consecutive punches .

Merlin and Saturn’s expressions turned more and more grievous . They looked around, and there was truly no way out . They had been completely sealed in by Gustia . All they could do was withstand the attacks .
The attacks rained down one after another . Regardless of how strong the light orb was, there was finally a hint of loosening .
“No way, there’s not a single way . We miscalculated . We didn’t expect that the Rock Tribe sent such a powerful entity into the Seely Dimension . Other than a Legend, there’s no way to conquer it . ”
“Crash . ”
At last, the light orb shattered . Gustia’s large body began to make his way step by step toward Merlin and Saturn .
“Spell fusion, go!”
Merlin’s Fire-type spell and Thunder-type spell fused together in an instant and hurled toward Gustia forcefully but Gustia did not even try to evade . He simply allowed the fused spell to land on his body .
The horrible shockwave generated by the explosion of the spell only managed to shake off some dust from Gustia . Regardless of whether it was Mind Occult Spells or spell fusion, none of them had any effect on Gustia .
The gap was simply too astounding!
“Looks like there’s no way left . I didn’t expect that we’ll die at the hands of foreign tribes . ”
Merlin looked at the fallen Rael, Vic, and the others who were lying motionless on the ground . They had all lost their fighting spirit . Even if they were not injured, they were still powerless against Gustia .
The gap was too huge . There was simply no way out .
“It’s over . The Seely Dimension will soon belong to the Rock Tribe . Haha…”
The small mountain-like body of Gustia raised his arm and locked his aim on Merlin and Saturn . Accompanied by the suffocating aura, his arm landed .
