Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the open space, the lush and verdant grass had been burned to ashes .
In the black smoke which pervaded the air, a young Spell Caster in a white robe was clashing with a Greater Demon, his body surrounded by fearsome lightning .
However, the white-robed Wizard was now clearly in a situation that did not bode well . He was at a disadvantage as the Greater Demon closed in step by step .
“It’s Lebeta . He’s a genius Wizard who has the greatest chance of coming in first in this competition of the Galaxy Grand Alliance!”
The ten or so Spell Casters beside Merlin recognized at a glance this young Wizard who was well versed in Thunder-type spells, his body surrounded by fearsome thunder and lightning . He was the foremost genius in the Galaxy Grand Alliance, and would very possibly be recommended by a Legendary Wizard to enter Arcane City directly in the future .
Although Lebeta was losing ground, he would not have any trouble handling most Ninth-level Spell Casters, and he was only a Seventh-level Spell Caster . He was merely inferior to Vic by a shade and was truly qualified to enter Arcane City .
Nevertheless, when faced with a Greater Demon, one which was even stronger than the Greater Demon Merlin had previously encountered, Lebeta was evidently unable to hold on much longer and was at risk .
“Wizard Merlin, Wizard Midnight, please save Wizard Lebeta . Although he’s constantly the center of attention in the Galaxy Grand Alliance, and known to be the foremost prodigy there, he isn’t arrogant, completely unlike Hugo . His teacher is even a Great Legend but he didn’t ask his teacher to recommend him to enter Arcane City . Instead, he joined this competition in hopes of getting first place in an honorable and honest manner, entering Arcane City in that way . ”
One could see that this Lebeta was highly influential in the Galaxy Grand Alliance . Even these Spell Casters who were not that well acquainted with Lebeta was asking Merlin and Midnight to rescue him .
Merlin looked at that Greater Demon, and was about to strike when Wizard Midnight stopped him . Wizard Midnight looked at his surroundings, then said in a low voice, “Something’s not right . There are oddities all around us . Let me attack and settle this Greater Demon as fast as possible, following which we’ll leave this place immediately . ”
Wizard Midnight stretched out his hand and traces of Elemental fluctuations began to appear over his body .
“Whoosh…”
A blanket of crimson light descended suddenly, immediately trapping Merlin and the rest .
“Haha, what a big fish I’ve caught . So many Spell Casters – I’ll have myself a good meal this time . ”
After the voice appeared, it was followed by a creature with a frail frame, only its body was blood red all over, and there was a faint golden horn in its forehead, which was especially eye-catching .
“It’s a Grand Demon!”
Wizard Midnight’s voice lowered as his body immediately tensed in vigilance . Upon hearing the words “Grand Demon”, Merlin was slightly shocked as well . Naturally, he knew what this meant .
The Grand Demons of the Dora Demon Tribe were beings comparable to Great Wizards .
“Merlin, this is a Grand Demon . It’d be fine if this was just an average Grand Demon, but look at how he’s blood red all over, and his single horn is very long . He’s different from other Grand Demons . If my guess isn’t wrong, this is a Grand Demon with Royal Demon blood, comparable to some powerful Great Wizards . ”
“Royal Demon blood!”
Ever since Merlin had come to the Bloodshed Universe, he had been listening to Wizard Midnight explaining some general knowledge of the Bloodshed Universe . The Dora Demons themselves had comparatively powerful abilities, and the Royal Demons were the strongest among them .
The Royal Demons were equivalent to the Spell Casters’ Honored Legends and could be considered very formidable . At the height of the Dora Demon Tribe, they had nine Royal Demons . Any Dora Demon who had Royal Demon blood would hold a high position, and their natural abilities were powerful . In the Dora Demon Tribe, the purer the Royal Demon blood, the greater their strength and potential .
It was just that after the Dora Demon Tribe betrayed the Spell Caster civilization, the Ultimate Arcane Wizard, in a fit of rage, struck out to vanquish the nine Royal Demons of the Dora Demon Tribe before finally imprisoning all of the Dora Demon Tribe in the Bloodshed Universe .
The Bloodshed Universe was in fact just a gigantic dimension cage, confining a powerful tribe . The hatred between the Dora Demon Tribe and the Spell Caster civilization became deeper and deeper, unable to be resolved .
Now, they had bumped into a Grand Demon with Royal Demon blood . This was rather troublesome . Merlin was even preparing to use the God-Binding Disc . If that was still not enough, he could only rouse the black cat Didimoss .

The black cat Didimoss had currently transformed into a living state, and in fact, had always been on Merlin’s shoulder . However, he had used some unknown method so that besides Merlin, he was seen by no one .
The black cat Didimoss sprawled across Merlin’s shoulder and narrowed his eyes in an expression of languor as if completely unconcerned about what was happening in the world outside .
“Merlin, I’ll handle this Grand Demon . You go on ahead and kill that Greater Demon . ”
Wizard Midnight drew in a deep breath as he gazed at the Grand Demon, and in fact, wore a look of excitement .
Merlin frowned and said, “Wizard Midnight, can you hold him off?”
It was not that Merlin was doubtful of Wizard Midnight’s abilities but a Grand Demon with Royal Demon blood was very terrifying, far beyond the abilities of most Great Wizards .
Wizard Midnight smiled in response . “I’ve already fused four types of spells, and most Great Wizards are no match for me . Now that I’m faced with a Grand Demon with Royal Demon blood, there’s certainly a degree of pressure . However, with my current state, this intense pressure is just what I need . I’ve been in the Bloodshed Universe for so long, and my comprehension is basically sufficient . Now, I require some pressure to completely fuse the Darkness-type spell . With five types combined into one, I’ll become a Great Wizard at the peak at last!”
After a pause, Wizard Midnight continued saying, “In addition, even if I don’t succeed, I can exit the Bloodshed Universe at any time . Don’t forget that we’re Potential Wizards of Arcane City . As long as we wish to leave, there’s nothing in the Bloodshed Universe which could kill us… However, if I really choose to leave, you’d better leave quickly too . You won’t be able to save them just by yourself…”
Merlin nodded . It was true that he and Wizard Midnight could leave at anytime but Lebeta and the rest had no choice but to face the frightening Grand Demon . If so, there was only one ending for them .
Still, if it came to that, Merlin had decided that he would save these Wizards even if he had to wake Didimoss up . Nonetheless, it was not at that point yet .
“Haha, a Grand Demon with Royal Demon blood – it’s my first-time meeting one! Nevertheless, your Dora Demon Tribe is pitiful indeed . Forget about those who merely have Royal Demon blood, even your nine Royal Demons are dead . In the Bloodshed Universe, you’re nothing more than slaves reared in a pen…”
Wizard Midnight laughed uproariously as he spoke . In an instant, the Grand Demon who had been calm immediately changed his tune . His murderous intent overflowed and filled the air like a vicious storm . Even though Merlin was a good distance away, he felt a faint sense of suffocation .
Seeing that Wizard Midnight had gone to stop the Grand Demon, Merlin glanced at Lebeta, and noticed that he was gradually unable to hold on any longer . Therefore, without further delay, he cast his Wind-type spell and promptly rushed at the Greater Demon .

“Nine Hit Strike!”
Merlin immediately wielded the invisible and shapeless Occult Mind Spell . Wave after wave of Mind Power attacks finally halted the Greater Demon .
The Greater Demon turned around and fixed his blood red eyes upon Merlin, laughing coldly . “Another one with a death wish . That’s good, I’ll eat your first, then eat all of the rest . Hehe!”
A sinister force was exuding from the Greater Demon, and Darkness Eye in Merlin’s palm also became excited . Merlin was thinking to himself that after killing this Greater Demon and absorbing his negative energy, Darkness Eye might really undergo a significant boost .
Thus, in the midst of his flight, Merlin promptly fused the wisps of flame and thunderbolt flickering in his hands, before flinging it viciously at the Greater Demon .
“Go!”
The spell fused from flames and thunder quickly sped towards the Greater Demon .
“Boom!”
The spell exploded and the fearsome shockwaves immediately sent the Greater Demon flying backward, before he crashed heavily onto the ground .
“D*mn you, wretched Spell Caster . I’ll swallow you alive!”
The Greater Demon unleashed a great roar as his body enlarged rapidly . The stench of blood around his body grew thicker, and Merlin immediately perceived a sense of intense threat .
“Berserk?”
Merlin’s heart trembled . This Greater Demon, after becoming Berserk, was even more terrifying than the Greater Demon he had killed previously . No matter in terms of strength, defense or speed, he was much more powerful .

“Bang bang bang . ”
The Greater Demon was able to forcibly withstand Merlin’s spell fusion . Each time the spell exploded, it was able to halt the forward momentum of the Greater Demon but that was all it could do . It was incapable of nullifying the Berserk state of the Greater Demon . Once this Greater Demon had come before Merlin, he would be in an extremely dangerous situation .
“Hahahaha, see how this tastes . This is the first time I’ll unleash my spell fusion at full force – go!”
In the distance, Wizard Midnight suddenly broke out into laughter as wisps of intense Wind Element, Fire Element, Ice Element, and Earth Element emerged around his body .
The flames grew fiercer, yet the Ice Element and Fire Element were coexisting in harmony . Following that, under the snarling of the Wind Element, the flames raged more and more, and its forces became increasingly fearsome .
Wizard Midnight had perfectly fused Wind-type spell, Fire-type spell, Earth-type spell, and Ice-type spell . Now, he was only missing Darkness-type spell to completely combine everything, leveling up to become a top-notch Great Wizard .
In comparison to the pandemonium caused by Wizard Midnight and the Grand Demon, Merlin’s current battle could not be considered much of a disturbance . However, faced with the Greater Demon, Merlin was forced back step by step . Merlin even considered utilizing the God-Binding Disc . Otherwise, he had no way of dealing with this terrible Greater Demon .
However, the fusion spell that Wizard Midnight had displayed earlier had helped resolve a problem which had been lingering in Merlin’s mind for a long time . Sometimes, epiphanies were just that simple .
“Wind reinforces fire… So, the critical point that I’ve searched for so painstakingly is something so simple!”
Everything suddenly became clear to Merlin . Locating the critical point meant locating a point of similarity . The common point between thunder and flames were obvious enough . As for the common point between wind and flames, it was more obscure . Wind could support fire – that was the critical point .
“It looks like I won’t have to use the God-Binding Disc…”
A smile tugged at the corner of Merlin’s mouth as he stared at the approaching Greater Demon . His body was gradually surrounded by fluctuations of Wind Element, Fire Element, and Thunder Element .
All at once, three different types of Elements surrounded Merlin, adding a mystical force to him .
