“Wizard Merlin!”
The black cat Didimoss swayed his tail gently. His movements were very graceful, just like a well-educated nobleman.
Didimoss took a long at the emptied out Dark Magic Region. A strange green glow began to shine from his cat eyes. Then, he spoke, “Wizard Merlin, the Dark Magic Region is in a crisis and everyone has to move. Master left me an instruction back then. If the Dark Magic Region ever descends into crisis, then a Kindling must be left behind!
“A Kindling?”
Merlin looked at the black cat Didimoss curiously. It was quite understandable that the Great Wizard Fidel would leave behind such an instruction. After all, the Dark Magic Region was built by Wizard Fidel rigorously. No one would want their legacy to die out, so he must have made his own precautionary arrangements.
The only thing was that the Dark Magic Region was indeed in crisis, but it was simply moving away and not yet facing the risk of extinction.
The black cat Didimoss seemed to have seen through Merlin’s thoughts. He said with a blank expression, “Yes, we must leave a Kindling behind. When my Master said ‘crisis’, he meant it as when the Dark Magic Region faces an insurmountable threat that’ll destroy its roots! Although you’re only moving away, you’ll be actually abandoning your roots according to Master’s instruction. This had fulfilled Master’s definition of ‘crisis.’ Therefore, I need to leave behind a Kindling for the Dark Magic Region. Since you’re the one who was able to break through the seventh floor of the Runic Tower and obtained Master’s Runic Heartprint, you fulfill the requirement of the ‘Kindling’. That’s why I’ll be taking you away.
“Take me away? Does that mean that you’re able to leave the Runic Magic Circle?”
Merlin was even more puzzled. He had realized by now that the black cat Didimoss would abide completely by the instructions of the Great Wizard Fidel and would not be flexible about it. Didimoss did not care to know about the current circumstances of the Dark Magic Region but had drawn a conclusion based on how ’empty’ the Dark Magic Region was which fulfilled the conditions of a ‘crisis’ as defined by the Great Wizard Fidel.
Hence, Didimoss had pinpointed Merlin as the ‘Kindling’ of the Dark Magic Region.
However, the black cat Didimoss was supposed to be the spirit of the Runic Magic Circle in the Dark Magic Region. Didimoss was the pillar of the Runic Magic Circle, so he should not be able to part from it.
“According to Master’s instructions, you’re the Kindling of the Dark Magic Region. I’ll be taking you away…”
The black cat Didimoss’ voice sank deeper and deeper, and before Merlin could ask another question, the entire Dark Magic Region began to tremor as if an earthquake was happening.
A loud rumble reverberated throughout the entire Dark Magic Region. Merlin suddenly discovered that large cracks were appearing in the ground of the Dark Magic Region, and the various Elements in the sky had been completely mixed up into a chaotic manner.
The Dark Magic Region actually existed on a mysterious island on the sea. At this moment, huge waves began to crash down on them, almost submerging the entire Dark Magic Region. Strong gales of winds were howling from all directions as well.
“What’s happening?”
“Why did such a massive upheaval suddenly occur in the Dark Magic Region? What on earth is happening?”
“Quickly! Let’s leave the Dark Magic Region!”
The remaining Spell Casters in the Dark Magic Region panicked and appeared to be stunned by the changes that were occurring to the Dark Magic Region. The Dark Magic Region had never experienced such an upheaval in the past despite being on an island. No matter how big the winds and waves around the island were, the Dark Magic Region had never been affected by them because it had been protected by the Runic Magic Circle.
Even if an earthquake were to occur, the Dark Magic Region would be impervious to its impact due to the Runic Magic Circle. The Dark Magic Region would not be affected at all. Right now, things did not appear to be as they were before though. It seemed that the Runic Magic Circle that had been protecting the entire Dark Magic Region had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
“Swish!”
Wizard Seymour’s figure appeared in the Dark Magic Region. His narrowed his gaze at the massive upheaval happening on the Dark Magic Region. He extended his hand and some runes flashed into view.
“Oh? There’s no use to it anymore? I can’t even activate the power of the Runic Magic Circle now…”
As the first elder of the Dark Magic Region, Wizard Seymour had previously been able to activate the power of the Runic Magic Circle. However, he discovered that he could not activate even the slightest shred of the Runic Magic Circle’s power right now.
The tremors in the entire Dark Magic Region grew stronger. Wizard Seymour took one look at the remaining Spell Casters in the Dark Magic Region. With a massive wave of his hand, he led these Spell Casters and left the Dark Magic Region together.
As for Merlin who was d in the Dark Magic Region, Wizard Seymour was not the least bit worried about him. The tremors in the Dark Magic Region might seem scary to an average Spell Caster, but it would not pose a threat to Merlin.
No one knew that Merlin was trapped at the moment within a powerful Runic Magic Circle that was conjured by the black cat Didimoss to confine him.
Merlin already tried using spells to break it open by force, but it did not budge. Even the fourth form of the Darkness Eye was unable to break through the Runic Magic Circle that kept him confined.
“Runic Heartprint!”
Merlin then activated the power of the Runic Heartprint, but it seemed that even the Runic Heartprint was powerless against this particular Runic Magic Circle.
Merlin’s expression blanched right then. He knew that he had been unmistakably trapped by the black cat Didimoss.
The black cat Didimoss watched the ground of the Dark Magic Region crack open before them but did not seem surprised at the scene. His face was calm as he said softly, “You should stop struggling. You won’t be able to break open the Runic Magic Circle because its power is amassed from the Runic Magic Circle that covers the entire Dark Magic Region. Even a Great Wizard would have to attack it for a long time before successfully breaking it. In addition, as the Kindling of the Dark Magic Region, you’re not in any danger. All I’m doing is taking you away as per Master’s instructions…”
“Where are you bringing me to?”

Merlin asked slowly once he had calmed down and reined in his turbulent emotions.
“Away from the Glorious Land!”
After the black cat Didimoss finished speaking, rows upon rows of dense runes began to appear on his body. Then, a dazzling ray rose into the sky and formed a canopy-shaped light.
The huge canopy of light covered the entire Dark Magic Region. The ground cracked open entirely. Large amounts of elemental crystal stones began to emerge from the underground and piled up into a mountain. Although Merlin possessed a sea of wealth, it was far from comparable to this mountain of elemental crystal stones. This was true wealth, and it was the true foundation of the Dark Magic Region.
However, this mass of elemental crystal stones had been hidden deep within the grounds of the Dark Magic Region, unknown to anyone except Didimoss.
“The elemental crystal stones left behind by Master are used to provide energy for the Runic Magic Circle. Only Master alone would be able to deplete the entire mountain of elemental crystal stones…”
The black cat Didimoss’ tone was very emotional. Massive changes were clearly happening to the Dark Magic Region. It was almost ruined and its roots had been completely destroyed. All of this was caused by the black cat Didimoss.
“Hum.”
The mountain of elemental crystal stones began to burn wildly, forming the purest elemental energy and was absorbed by the huge canopy light in the sky. This light was none other than the mysterious but powerful Runic Magic Circle.
An extraordinary power began to emerge, and the entire Dark Magic Region began to collapse. Space was distorted and the Wizard Towers in the Dark Magic Region crashed down one after another. The Dark Magic Region was destroyed almost completely, turning into a pile of ruins.
“Boom!”
Finally, the mysterious Runic Magic Circle converged into a beam of light that shot straight into the sky. It shrouded Merlin and propelled him into the clouds in an instant. Inside the sea of clouds, Merlin saw what appeared to be a large deep portal that was filled with endless mystery.
“Whoosh!”
Merlin and the black cat were both carried by the huge beam of light into the deep portal and disappeared completely. At the same time, the mountain of elemental crystal stones in the Dark Magic Region had been literally emptied out. The entire Dark Magic Region sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Wizard Seymour’s expression darkened as he stood inside the Dark Magic Region. He had witnessed the huge beam of light carrying Merlin away and also saw the complete destruction of the Dark Magic Region.
Only Wizard Seymour alone knew what had happened to the Dark Magic Region!
“I can’t let the other Wizards find out that the Dark Magic Region has been destroyed. Even if I have to, then I’d have to wait at least until we’ve settled down safely in Subzero Snowfield… Oh, Wizard Merlin, I wonder if the destruction of Dark Magic Region is linked to you somehow, but I do hope that you’ll be safe and return home soon…”
Wizard Seymour gazed at the sky with a troubled expression. The light beam was headed straight towards the deep portal, and he could see that it was a passage to somewhere unknown to all.
Moreover, it was a space passage that had depleted such a large amount of elemental crystal stones that was almost the size of a mountain. How could it possibly be heading to an ordinary place?
The possibility of Merlin returning was almost close to nil. As the first elder of the Dark Magic Region, Wizard Seymour would have to stabilize the situation right now. The fate of the entire Dark Magic Region rested upon his shoulders…
“Time to leave!”
Wizard Seymour gaze grew cold as he took one last look at the vanished Dark Magic Region. A glint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes. Then, he stepped through the Runic Magic Circle and left.
…
Inside the pitch-black passage, Merlin could feel a sense of oppression coming from all sides like it was trying to pulverize him into dust. Fortunately, the Runic Magic Circle wrapped around him kept him protected.
Nonetheless, Merlin could also sense that the power of the Runic Magic Circle was being depleted rapidly. The power of the Runic Magic Circle would disappear completely after a while. When that happened, it was uncertain whether he would be able to emerge safely from this deep passage.
The black cat Didimoss was also inside the Runic Magic Circle, but his eyes were fastened shut as he tried desperately to sustain the power of the Runic Magic Circle.
“Crack!”
Finally, a crack appeared in the Runic Magic Circle. This Runic Magic Circle that was able to withstand the attack of a Great Wizard was only able to last for a few moments in the deep passage. It was obvious that he was unable to bear the pressure any longer.
Following the emergence of the first crack, more and more cracks began to appear on the Runic Magic Circle. It indicated that the Runic Magic Circle was about to break.
“This is not good! The Runic Magic Circle can’t withstand the pressure anymore!”
The black cat Didimoss opened his eyes. His voice was still trembling. The Runic Magic Circle shattered into pieces just when he finished speaking. A terrifying pressure descended instantly upon Merlin.
This pressure seemed like it would pulverize Merlin into dust.
However, at the moment when the Runic Magic Circle shattered and Merlin could no longer withstand the pressure, a white light finally appeared at the end of the deep passage.
Merlin and the black cat Didimoss gathered up all their strength and jumped into the white light. They disappeared without a trace.
