Chapter 260: Dark Magic Space

Merlin nodded with a serious expression; he indeed intended to exchange a Pandora Demon Ability.

“Pandora Demon Abilities are usually the most important secret in all spell casters’ organizations. Even I have never received a Pandora Demon Ability from the Dark Magic Region. Only those who have made a huge contribution to the Dark Magic Region will be rewarded with a Pandora Demon Ability. You must realize how important a Pandora Demon Ability really is. Are you sure you want to exchange it with the Dark Magic Region?”

Wizard Leo kept reminding Merlin of the importance of Pandora Demon Ability. He had Darkness Eye in the past, but he did not exchange it with the Dark Magic Region.

In fact, many Spell Casters would not exchange their Pandora Demon Ability with the Dark Magic Region willingly should they obtained it as it was too difficult to find even one Pandora Demon Ability.

Merlin directly stated his reason. He explained in a low voice, “Teacher Leo, the Pandora Demon Ability doesn’t suit me, so I want to exchange for a more compatible Pandora Demon Ability with the Dark Magic Region.”

“It’s the Pandora Demon Ability that you got hold of after killing those from Ozmu, right?”

The red vertical eye on Wizard Leo’s forehead stared straight at Merlin as he asked with a smile.

Merlin nodded, knowing that he could not lie to Wizard Leo.

Upon seeing the nod, Wizard Leo let out a cold sneer. “Hehe, only Ozmu possesses so many Pandora Demon Abilities. They don’t even mind to use the Pandora Demon Ability to tempt those genius Spell Casters.”

Wizard Leo hated Ozmu from the bottom of his heart, so his tone was always filled with abhorrence.

After saying that, Wizard Leo paused a little, and calmed down. “Let’s go. We’ll have to see Wizard Heusius if you want to exchange your Pandora Demon Ability!”

Following that, Wizard Leo brought Merlin out of the tower and headed toward the few tallest towers in the Dark Magic Region.

It was not Merlin’s first time in the tower of a Seventh-level Spell Caster, so he appeared rather collected.

With Wizard Leo, it became easier to find Wizard Heusius. Without taking much time, Wizard Heusius appeared.

“Leo, what are you up to this time?”

Wizard Heusius glanced at Wizard Leo with a helpless look on his face.

“Hehe, old fool, I’m naturally here for an important matter. It’s about my student, Merlin. Old fool, I’m sure you’ve heard of it?”

Wizard Leo did not state their aim straightaway. Instead, he asked Wizard Heusius.

Heusius took a knowing glance at Merlin and squinted his eyes. Chuckling softly, he said, “How would I not hear about it? This time, Merlin has eliminated two prodigies of Ozmu – Weiss and Bluebird. Tsk tsk. Never mind about Weiss but Bluebird is the Wizard who has caused countless troubles to many spell casters’ organizations. She possesses two Pandora Demon Abilities and is exceptionally strong. But she has died by the hands of Merlin. Leo, you got an excellent student there!”

The information of Merlin eliminating Weiss and Bluebird might not be known to average Spell Casters but the higher authority of the Dark Magic Region could have received the news first-hand.

Weiss and Bluebird were simply Third-level Spell Casters; they could go around causing trouble without being restricted by the pact. In fact, this matter had greatly troubled spell casters’ organizations such as the Dark Magic Region.

The pact with Ozmu only restricted the actions of Spell Casters of Fourth-level and above. However, many ordinary Fourth-level Spell Casters could not stand against Weiss and Bluebird anyway. The spell casters’ organizations were fairly concerned about this matter. Little did they expect that Merlin would kill both of them. As his feat shocked the spell casters’ organizations, he had also resolved a hidden concern among spell casters’ organizations.

Wizard Leo nodded and said, “After killing Weiss and Bluebird, Merlin has obtained a Pandora Demon Ability…”

Wizard Leo did not continue his words. Instead, Wizard Heusius’ expression changed slightly, then he revealed a hint of elation. “You’re saying that Merlin has obtained a Pandora Demon Ability?”

After a slight pause, Wizard Heusius seemed like he had understood something as he squinted his eyes at Wizard Leo. “Leo, you’re not here to tell me this news, am I right?”

“That’s right. Merlin wanted to use this Pandora Demon Ability to exchange for another Pandora Demon Ability with the Dark Magic Region.”

Wizard Leo finally stated their aim for being there. Heusius was not surprised at all. In fact, he had already guessed it.

“Exchanging for another Pandora Demon Ability? You can indeed exchange Pandora Demon Ability with another one in the Dark Magic Region. Otherwise, you have to make a huge contribution to the Dark Magic Region to be rewarded with a Pandora Demon Ability. Hehe, that’s why I haven’t cultivated any Pandora Demon Ability until now. Leo, you’re one lucky guy since you have Darkness Eye…”

Even the Seventh-level Spell Caster, Heusius, did not possess a Pandora Demon Ability, proving how rare and precious a Pandora Demon Ability was. It was extremely fortunate of Merlin to obtain a Pandora Demon Ability. Wizard Leo was the same since he had obtained the Pandora Demon Ability accidentally.

Furthermore, there were only a small number of Spell Casters who were rewarded with Pandora Demon Ability after making a large contribution to the Dark Magic Region. After all, not all spell casters’ organizations could have such vast resources comparable to Ozmu.

“Merlin, I can’t make the decision for you to exchange for Pandora Demon Ability. The Dark Magic Region may not have the Pandora Demon Ability that you’d like to exchange with. In addition, your Pandora Demon Ability must be of equal value with the one you want to exchange for. After all, there are still distinctions between various Pandora Demon Abilities. Let’s go. Let me bring you to a place. The Pandora Demon Ability you’d be able to exchange for would depend completely on your own luck.”

After saying that, Heusius walked into the deeper parts of the tower. Merlin looked at Wizard Leo who was beside him.

Wizard Leo nodded. “Follow Heusius.”

Merlin took a deep breath and quickly caught up to Heusius as they headed toward the deeper parts of the tower.

The tower of the Seventh-level Spell Caster was not much different from the others. Merlin simply trailed behind Heusius, both remained silent. Then, they reached a complicated Runic Magic Circle.

“Only the towers of the Seventh-level Spell Casters have such Runic Magic Circles. Even your teacher, Wizard Leo, doesn’t have this Runic Magic Circle. Via this circle, you’ll reach the true core region of the Dark Magic Region – the Dark Magic Space!”

“Dark Magic Space?”

After being in the Dark Magic Region for such a long time, this was Merlin’s first-time hearing about a place called the “Dark Magic Space”, so he glanced at Wizard Heusius with a questioning look.

Meanwhile, Wizard Heusius shook his head. “This is the most important place of the Dark Magic Region. You’ll know when you see it.”

Thereafter, he brought Merlin into the Runic Magic Circle and a white light flashed, immediately encompassing Merlin and Wizard Heusius.

“Swish!”

Both disappeared in the blink of an eye along with the flash of light.

…

“Boom!”

Two figures instantly appeared along with the flashing light in a secretive space. They were Wizard Heusius and Merlin.

As soon as Merlin had arrived at the place, he scanned his surroundings. He realized that there was no sky here nor was there any land. It was as if Heusius and he were floating in the air.

In this space, there was a light that lit up the entire space just like the day. Moreover, there were many densely-written and complex mysterious runes etched all over the space.

This was the “Dark Magic Space” Wizard Heusius had mentioned earlier.

“Merlin, the Dark Magic Space is very unique, and it isn’t created by the Great Wizard Fidel. After all, this is a stable space, the product of the Maxim. Even the Great Wizard Fidel can’t manipulate the Maxim.

“We can place unique Elements in the Dark Magic Space, so there are places here that are rich in Fire Elements, Wind Elements, and so on. We can even concentrate a certain type of Elements in one place, then synthesize elemental crystal stones or precious treasures after going through a long period of accumulation.”

Merlin could not help but feel astonished at the fact that such a wonderful yet stable space existed. It was much stronger than his Bell Space. However, the Bell Space might still be incomplete at this point; Merlin had not collected all the casting components just yet. Thus, the Bell Space was currently far less stable than the Dark Magic Space.

However, the Bell Space had the simulation function while the Dark Magic Space could probably only be capable of nurturing Elements and producing elemental crystal stones besides being stable and secretive. After all, the elemental crystal stones were the product of all types of Elements after going through a long period of changes.

Other than the elemental crystal stones, rare treasures such as the hundred years’ ice bone marrow might appear should the Elements had been accumulated here for a sufficiently long time, be it hundreds or thousands of years.

With such a wonderful function, it was not surprising that the Bell Space was kept confidential. Only the Seventh-level Spell Casters of the Dark Magic Region knew about this place.

Wizard Leo might know some information about the Dark Magic Space, but he could not enter this place.

The Dark Magic Space was not created by the Great Wizard Fidel. Instead, it was an object that was obtained incidentally. It might have been passed down since the ancient times. It was the same case for Merlin’s Bell Space.

After the Great Wizard Fidel had obtained the Dark Magic Space, he had treated it as the most important secret in the Dark Magic Region.

“The Dark Magic Space contains many Seventh-level spells. Although the Seventh-level spells are of no use if the user hasn’t derived and constructed it on his own. How about reading the experience and notes of the Seventh-level Spell Casters when they derived their own spells? Hehe, there are many records here that contain the experience of Seventh-level Spell Casters when they derived their Seventh-level spells. Sometimes, we would show them to some Sixth-level Spell Casters, hoping that the records can inspire the Spell Casters.”

Wizard Heusius pointed to the rows of shelves in the Dark Magic Space as he introduced them to Merlin.

Merlin was surprised by what he had seen. This was the true resources available in a spell casters’ organization. Many Seventh-level spells might not be of any use, but the process of which the Seventh-level Spell Casters had derived their spells was invaluable. Some Sixth-level Spell Casters might be inspired by the records, then went on to derive a brand-new spell, thus becoming Seventh-level Spell Casters.

“There’s certainly a large barrier between Spell Caster clans and spell casters’ organizations. The difference is simply too large to overcome…”

Merlin shook his head slightly. It was not surprising that a Spell Caster clan could hardly stand against a spell casters’ organization no matter how powerful it was. The Dark Magic Region was only a small-scaled spell casters’ organization, but its resources were not something attainable for any Spell Caster clan.

Even the Sterling House, founded by the Great Wizard Sterling, would not have as many resources as the Dark Magic Region after hundreds of years. After the Great Wizard Sterling left the Sterling House, it was feared that this powerful influence would immediately fall apart; it could not be passed down for many generations like the spell casters’ organizations could.
