Chapter 719: 719
“What’s happening? The alarm was sounded?”
In a lofty tall tower, all the Contenders who guarded over Ruba City woke up . Only those who were at least a Ninth-level Contender were qualified to enter this tower .
There were even a few real Sanctuary Contenders among them!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three figures flew out of the tower out of nowhere like a single beam of light . These three figures hovered in the air, eyes fixed on the huge tyrant raptor approaching from a distance .
“Tyrant raptor? It’s a king-level beast according to the legends . ”
“Someone had actually tamed the tyrant raptor, but we don’t know whether he’s a friend or foe yet . ”
Each of these three figures seemed to be emitting a special kind of force field from their bodies . They stood in the air and stared at the tyrant raptor in the distance with bright eyes .
Only real Sanctuary Contenders like them were able to maintain their composure in the face of a king-level beast .
Swish!
When the tyrant raptor came to a stop, Merlin’s gaze also landed on these three figures .
“Sanctuary Contenders?”
Merlin had finally met the real Sanctuary Contenders . Even without any external prompting, Merlin knew immediately that these three people stood at the pinnacle of this world . They were the Sanctuary Contenders .
This was because they were completely different from the ordinary people in the Mobata world . Judging from Merlin’s perspective, he could tell at once that there was a special force field around these three people .
Among these force fields, one was chaotic, one was weighty, and one was about speed . This represented the different abilities of each Sanctuary Contender . The ‘sanctuary’ in Sanctuary Contenders denoted the special force field each of them owned .
Once somebody had been shrouded by a Sanctuary Contender’s force field, their abilities would begin to weaken . This was also the most terrifying thing about the Sanctuary Contenders . Almost no one could stand against them under the influence of their sanctuary .
Merlin was observing these three Sanctuary Contenders . In turn, they were also observing Merlin as well . As real Sanctuary Contenders, they had naturally discovered Merlin’s peculiarity .
“No, you’re not a Sanctuary Contender!”
“But why is he giving off such a strong threat? And even a king-level beast has submitted to him?”
Although these three Sanctuary Contenders could see that Merlin was not a Sanctuary Contender, they were still perplexed as to who this ‘uninvited guest’ was due to the limitations of their knowledge .
“Who are you? Anyone who could tame a king-level beast is definitely not an average person . What is your purpose of coming to Ruba City?” one of the burly middle-aged Sanctuary Contender asked .
A faint smile appeared on Merlin’s lips as he said softly, “Nothing much, but since the Sanctuary Contenders are the pinnacle of your world, I have merely come to take a look at you all . I also want to ask you some questions . That’s all . ”
“Our world?”
There was a significant change in one of the Sanctuary Contenders’ expression . He asked with a shocked look and a trembling voice, “So, you’re not from the Mobata world?”
“Oh? You also know about the other worlds?”
The Sanctuary Contenders’ gazes sharpened considerably when they heard Merlin’s reply . A sliver of excitement crept into their terror .
“A foreign world . You’re actually from another world… It has long since been speculated that besides there must be a vaster world outside of this world . I can’t believe it’s actually true . ”
The Sanctuary Contenders were truly the pinnacle existence of the Mobata world . They were considered powerful even in the outside world . There were also many other civilizations in the Void Zone that could not produce a Great Legend . Hence, they were unable to step into the Void Zone .
On the other hand, these people had achieved the level of a Great Legend but were instead confined by the unusually sturdy space in this world . Therefore, they were unable to leave the Mobata world nor could they enter the Void Zone .
Based on the classification of civilizations in the Void Zone, the Mobata world would not be considered weak but a relatively powerful one . This was because although they had no Honored Legends, they had given birth to many existences that were comparable to a Great Legend .
Of course, they would turn out mediocre if they were compared to the powerful civilizations with ultimate existences . Once a civilization gave birth to an ultimate existence, they could be classified as a powerful civilization .

However, there were just too many civilizations in the Void Zone, maybe up to billions of them . Among these innumerable foreign tribe civilizations, how many powerful civilizations could there be?
Thus, giving birth to an ultimate existence was simply too challenging . The fact that the Spell Caster civilization managed to achieve this feat was considered a miracle among miracles .
“Yes, I belong to a foreign world . I came to your world by accident . This is quite a unique world, but it seems that you’re not in a favorable situation at the moment . ”
Merlin admitted frankly because it would not matter much if he did not do it . These people could definitely see what was wrong . The three men before him were not as easily fooled as those Eighth- or Ninth-level Contenders .
“Someone from the foreign world… So you must know about that vast world outside . We must go out . Only by going out, we’ll be able to find our way . You’re a guest from afar . You should’ve been a guest under usual circumstances, but the situation is too critical right now . Sorry about that . Attack!”
The Sanctuary Contenders actually attacked him on the spot . They wanted to break through the barriers of this world and find the vast world outside . All they wanted was to find a viable solution for the situation they were facing in this world .
If this were to persist without any miracles gracing them, then the Mobatans would soon be destroyed by the barbarians and the beasts . They were uncertain whether there was even a foreign world in the beginning, so how would they be willing to search for a solution there?
Nonetheless, Merlin’s appearance seemed to have opened a wide window of opportunity for them, a window that they could not refuse .
Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying weight descended . The tyrant raptor underneath Merlin howled pitifully and fell heavily onto the ground . It seemed like an overwhelming power was needed to overcome this tremendous weight .
This was a weighted force field, which was also one of the most common force fields among the Sanctuary Contenders .
“Chaos!”
Another Sanctuary Contender had also released a force field . This chaotic force field of his had shrouded Merlin and the tyrant bird in the speed of light . It was as if an invisible force was tearing Merlin apart from all directions .
The tyrant raptor was suffering horribly .
It growled helplessly .

Nevertheless, the tyrant raptor was still a king-level beast . Although it did not possess any special force field, its physical attributes were no weaker than these Sanctuary Contenders . Therefore, it gathered all its might with a loud roar, stretched out its wings, and flapped them once .
Hoo… Hoo… Hoo…
A strong gale materialized out of thin air and gained momentum instantly . The surrounding buildings were all torn apart by this monstrous gale . Even the sturdy ground was lashed to the extent where spiderweb-like cracks appeared densely across the ground . It was an unbelievable sight .
“Laggard!”
The last Sanctuary Contender performed his special force field . Suddenly, the tyrant bird found it difficult to even walk . This was a force field that could slow everyone under its influence down to the maximum .
“Special force fields, how unique!”
Merlin was not flustered . He wanted to learn more about the uniqueness of this world’s most powerful abilities which seemed to only be possessed by the Sanctuary Contenders . Indeed, it was quite astounding .
In fact, the main focus of their cultivation would be on these special force fields once they have become a Sanctuary Contender . A more powerful Sanctuary Contender basically meant a more powerful special force field .
The biggest difference between the Sanctuary Contenders and the king-level beasts was precisely these special force fields . Only the Sanctuary Contenders had special force fields, whereas the king-level beasts did not . Consequently, the king-level beasts were ultimately weaker than the Sanctuary Contenders in this respect .
However, there were just too many king-level beasts in this world, so even the Sanctuary Contenders were quite helpless against them .
“Almost there . Added with the power of these special force fields, they are probably on par with a one- or two-Maxim Legend . There might perhaps be stronger Sanctuary Contenders out there, but these three people certainly aren’t them . ”
Merlin had already learned quite a bit . These Sanctuary Contenders were merely comparable to a one- or two-Maxim Legend at most . They posed zero threat to Merlin .
“Illusion!”
Merlin did not use his spells but had instead employed his Hallucinating spell . With his current achievement in the realm of Hallucinating spells, entrapping an ordinary Legend was a simple feat .
“Huh? Mind control?”

The three Sanctuary Contenders’ faces went blank but recovered soon enough . Then, they let out a large roar together . The terrifying sound waves reverberated in every direction and had unleashed destruction of massive proportions .
Regardless, it seemed like they had some special technique to avoid being ensnared by Merlin’s illusion .
“Interesting . I see that this world also has Hallucinating abilities like me . This is not the first time these people had come across an illusion . ”
Merlin was not too surprised . If he mobilized the Illusory World, he could easily trap these three Sanctuary Contenders in an illusion . Nevertheless, he abandoned the idea after some consideration .
Since he was here to search for Aruba’s item, then he should let everyone know his true power and flaunt his authority as much as possible!
“Fire!” Merlin whispered .
In an instant, blazing flames appeared out of thin air . These pale white flames did not seem hot at all but contained a chilling aura that made the Sanctuary Contenders gulp in fear .
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The flames burned wildly . The weighty force field, chaotic force field, and laggard force field were all destroyed by the flames completely . Thus, the tyrant bird was freed .
The three Sanctuary Contenders were astonished . Their combined special force fields were actually unable to defeat Merlin . The thought of retreating entered their minds .
Nevertheless, retreating was not as easy as they thought .
“Ice Seal!”
A huge multi-colored Wizard Heart took shape behind Merlin . An overwhelming sense of oppression descended in an instant . The three Sanctuary Contenders could feel the substantive gap in power between themselves and Merlin now .
“Is this the power of the foreign world? Your body is incredibly weak and fragile, yet you possess a powerful ability that was comparable to us Sanctuary Contenders . No, you’re even more powerful than Sanctuary Contenders!”
The moment they saw the multi-colored Wizard Heart behind Merlin, these three Sanctuary Contenders knew that they were defeated . The gap between them was simply too pronounced .
Kchak!
The three of them were imprisoned by solid layers of ice, and only their heads were left exposed . They were not even able to wield their special force fields . Falling onto the ground, they could only watch as Merlin drew closer .
