Chapter 650
“Boom . ”
As an existence comparable to a powerful Lord, Invisible Rock was able to kill an esteemed Honored Legend with just the aftershocks of his punch . An Honored Legend was turned into a bloody mist . What could Merlin do?
However, when Invisible Rock swung his punch, he felt as though he had hit an invisible wall . No matter how strong his force was, it would not budge .
“What’s happening?”
Invisible Rock’s smile froze . Progenitor Hanra’s smile also froze . This was because before Merlin, a figure filled with an ocher-colored Maxim was standing quietly in the air . Once the Maxim on his body had consolidated, it was like a solid wall that could not be broken . Invisible Rock’s strength was completely unable to move it .
“Setoh, you actually dare let your avatars intervene?”
Progenitor Hanra’s voice immediately thundered . Invisible Rock’s gaze fluttered in understanding . He immediately realized that this ocher figure was Arcane Wizard Setoh’s avatar .
The Rock Tribe was unlike the Spell Casters . In their case, there was only one Rock Progenitor . Although the Progenitor’s Body was powerful, he did not have any avatars . On the other hand, Arcane Wizards were able to transfigure multiple avatars, each of which stood guard at different places .
Above all, an Arcane Wizard’s avatars were not within a comparable range of the ordinary Lords . These avatars might not be able to compete with the Glorious Lords but they were still considered very powerful Lords . With the Arcane Wizards’ avatars standing guard, the overall strength of the Spell Caster civilization was boosted .
The Rock Tribe had their Progenitor’s Body while the Arcane Wizards had their avatars . Nevertheless, due to the intimate connection between these avatars and the Arcane Wizards, the Arcane Wizards would exercise caution in using their avatars in a civilization war, fearing such involvement would tempt the opponent’s ultimate existences to act as well .
Therefore, up to this point, if not for the sake of protecting Merlin, Wizard Setoh would not have mobilized his avatar . However, Merlin was simply too important thus, Wizard Setoh decided to mobilize his avatar to protect him just in case . Right now, this avatar had proven to be useful .
“Hmph, Hanra, you used a Lord to hide in a Progenitor’s Body, I’d say you’re the devious one! I’m simply using an avatar to protect Wizard Merlin . What does that even amount to?”
Wizard Setoh laughed . His avatar did not attack, so it would not aggravate Progenitor Hanra too much . As long as Merlin was safe, it was a success .
Hence, Wizard Setoh brought Merlin and flew back to the Spell Caster camp, leaving Progenitor Hanra’s enraged roars behind . Still, the Rock Tribe did not give up on the civilization war . On the contrary, with the addition of Invisible Rock into their midst, the Rock Tribe’s force appeared to be re-energized .
“Nightmare Lord, go and face Invisible Rock! Blackfire Lord, you can start attacking too . All four Lords, start attacking, I’m sure the Rock Tribe won’t be able to hold on much longer!”
Wizard Setoh’s eyes were also filled with recklessness .
Indeed, with Invisible Rock’s addition, the Rock Tribe force was temporarily strengthened but Arcane Wizard Setoh also knew that this was the final round of berserk attack by the Rock Tribe . In any case, a visible strong opponent was easier to handle than a hidden one .
Besides, Merlin was alive to fight another day . The next time Merlin struck, the Rock Tribe would finally understand that they could not possibly win the war . At that time, the civilization war would come to an end!
Five days later, Merlin awoke once again full of energy . When he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar Spell Caster standing in front of him .
“Wizard Yaston?”
This was Legend Yaston, who had once paired up with Merlin before . He was also an Honored Legend .
Legend Yaston smiled . “Wizard Merlin, we meet again . Due to Legend Lach’s unfortunate death, Wizard Setoh sent me to pair with Wizard Merlin . ”
Merlin nodded but before he could say anything, he heard Titus’ voice . “Merlin, you don’t have to contend against the powerful Progenitor’s Bodies . All you have to do is defeat some of the Great Legend-level Progenitor’s Bodies comprising of the ordinary Rock Creatures . With your current level of Mind Power, you can entrap two or three Great Legend-level Progenitor’s Bodies simultaneously . This way, you can defeat three Progenitor’s Bodies with a single strike, which would be a huge blow to their morale . Wizard Setoh also wants to win the war as soon as possible, so, there’s no need for you to put your life on the line fighting the powerful Progenitor’s Bodies . You simply have to weaken their morale and destroy their confidence . ”
After listening to Titus’ advice, Merlin contemplated for a moment . Titus was right . The most important thing was to end this war . As long as he kept defeating their Progenitor’s Bodies, the Rock Tribe would feel immensely pressured, and become demotivated, unable to hold on .
“Wizard Yaston, let’s go!”
Merlin stood up, and said to Wizard Yaston .

“Swish . ”
Merlin and Yaston had paired up before . Therefore, even without Merlin’s prompting, Wizard Yaston’s gaze had already followed Merlin’s aim at a Progenitor’s Body . However, Wizard Yaston said hesitantly, “Wizard Merlin, this is only an ordinary Progenitor’s Body . Defeating it would only inflict limited damage on the Rock Tribe . ”
“Defeating one might only inflict limited damage but what about defeating three Progenitor’s Bodies at the same time?”
Merlin’s lips quivered into a mysterious smile . Then, he shut his eyes gently . Like ripples on water, the Illusory World rapidly spread out to the surroundings .
One, two, three!
A total of three ordinary Progenitor’s Bodies were enveloped by Merlin’s Illusory World . Immediately, these Progenitor’s Bodies turned “stiff” indicating that they were trapped in an illusion .
Wizard Yaston also did not dither . Seeing that Merlin had attacked, he stretched out his finger . His ultimate Maxim transformed into three Maxim dragons . Subsequently, each of them opened their big mouths and swallowed the three Progenitor’s Bodies .
“Crack crack crack . ”
Cracks began to form along these three Progenitor’s Bodies . The cracks grew bigger and collapsed abruptly the next moment . A huge shockwave rippled all around, causing a huge stir .
None of the Rock Creatures in these three Progenitor’s Bodies survived . After all, they were only ordinary Rock Creatures . Only one or two of them were ordinary Ancestor-level Rock Creatures .
Although only a few Ancestor-level Rock Creatures died, the Rock Tribe appeared to be shaken . Many of them had a look of hesitation, and appeared frightened .
Although this was a civilization war which would be inevitably brutal, they were unwilling to continue fighting a losing battle . Such an approach was unacceptable to the Rock Tribe, so all of them turned their gazes toward Progenitor Hanra .
Progenitor Hanra’s cold gaze scanned the evasive glances of the Rock Tribe . The situation on the battlefield had gone askew . In fact, he already expected this . If Merlin did not die, the Rock Tribe would eventually lose this war .

It was just that he did not expect them to lose so soon .
“Fine, fine, this war, the Rock Tribe has lost!”
Seeing the discouraged expressions on numerous Rock Creatures, Progenitor Hanra’s voice boomed across the entire battlefield . For some time, everyone – whether it was the Spell Caster camp or the Rock Tribe camp on the battlefield was stunned .
“Lost?”
“We’ve lost?”
“Losing is good too . At least the civilization war is finally over…”
Some of the Rock Creatures seemed to be reeling from disbelief whereas others could not imagine that such a fierce and violent war had ended just like that . Moreover, it was a complete defeat with their tails tucked between their legs . The Rock Tribe had lost a few dozen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures . For the Rock Tribe which did not have many Ancestor-level Creatures to begin with, this was a massive blow .
As for the Spell Caster camp, they were also stunned . Similarly, some were still filled with disbelief while the Legends who managed to recover their wits obviously broke into a smile .
This civilization war – neither side was willing to continue it any longer . Throughout this period, the Spell Caster camp had also lost dozens of Great Legends especially Wizard Lach, who was an Honored Legend . Additionally, a few dimensions were destroyed .
In some way, it could be said that the Spell Caster civilization had suffered a greater loss . Nevertheless, Wizard Setoh and the four Great Lords were still apparently relieved .
The Spell Caster civilization was indeed powerful but this civilization war was fought with the resources from Setoh Arcane City alone . The amount of loss sustained by the Rock Tribe was insignificant . Instead, the true victory was forcing the Rock Tribe to retreat .
With the passage of time, the Spell Caster civilization definitely possessed a greater advantage . In just three thousand years’ time, the Spell Caster civilization managed to grow into a powerful civilization . In terms of time, the Rock Tribe would never be able to compete with the Spell Caster civilization .
After this war, unless there were any extraordinary changes, the Rock Tribe would not dare to launch a civilization war for at least a thousand years .

“We won, we finally won . Now we don’t have to face those terrifying Progenitor’s Bodies every day!”
“The key to winning this war is attributed to Wizard Merlin . His Hallucinating spell is truly too impressive . I’ve never paid much attention to Mind Power Masters before hence I didn’t expect that they could be so powerful . It seems like I must pay more attention to the Mind Power Masters once I go back or perhaps research it further . ”
Many of the Great Legends were sighing in relief, thankful that the civilization war had ended . At the same time, they gained a new understanding of Mind Power Masters . Previously in the eyes of Spell Casters, Mind Power Masters were merely a system within the Spell Casters . Since it had not been perfected, it must not be a very powerful system .
This was because even the mightiest Mind Power Master could not match up to a Great Legend!
However, Merlin’s emergence completely overturned their preconceived notions of Mind Power Masters, especially the combination of a Mind Power Master cum Spell Caster . With Merlin’s Hallucinating spell as well as his Darkness Eye, many of the Great Legends were self-conscious that even they would not be comparable opponents .
Therefore, Merlin’s usage of Mind Power attracted the attention of many Great Legends . This time, upon returning to their respective dimensions, they would surely further research the Mind Power System .
Hence, this would help lay the foundation for Merlin’s vision of turning the Mind Power System into a system that was independent of the Spell Caster system . After all, it would be insufficient to rely on Merlin alone to realize this vision .
“Hanra, the war has ended, but remember, the Rock Tribe better stay meekly in your own dimension . The Spell Casters will not initiate any invasion but if you ever think of launching a war, the Spell Caster civilization is always ready for you!”
Wizard Setoh’s voice was very succinct despite being in the Void Zone where there was no space and time . His words resounded in everyone’s ears .
Progenitor Hanra’s gaze was ice-cold, and did not say anything . He led a large number of Rock Creatures and flew back haughtily to the Rock Tribe dimension .
“The war is over!”
Merlin also released a long sigh . He was finally able to relax .
The large-scale civilization war between the Rock Tribe and the Spell Caster civilization had ended merely after a few months . All in all, the damage endured was still bearable for both sides .
