Chapter 558: The Difference of A Single Step!

“You want to kill me?”

Zado’s expression darkened. He knew exactly what Legend Arnie was planning just from his looks.

For that huge lode, and more than one billion elemental crystal stones, even Honored Legends would go crazy for it. In order to get that lode, Arnie did not even hesitate to expose his relationship with Sith. It showed just how much he wanted the lode.

“I’m a Wizard-in-residence at Arcane City!”

Zado heavily emphasized his identity as a “Wizard-in-residence”. If plunderers were lawless and did not care about any threats, then it was precisely “Arcane City” that they had to revere.

That was because it was founded by the three strongest Arcane Wizards, the strongest existences in the entire Spell Caster civilization!

Potential Wizards might not be paid attention to by Ultimate Arcane Wizards but Wizards-in-residence was regarded as a core social class in Arcane City. Nominally, they were even Wizards-in-residence invited by Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

Legend Arnie fell silent, and he slightly furrowed his brows. Indeed, he was planning on killing Wizard Zado earlier. Legend Zado’s so-called relationships, potential, and identity were all inconsequential to Legend Arnie.

Even if he had potential, that was all after-the-fact. Now, Legend Arnie could easily suppress Zado. In other words, he had the absolute upper hand. As a plunderer, he had already committed the most abominable acts. Killing Zado would not be a big deal.

However, Zado’s identity as a Wizard-in-residence in Arcane City made Legend Arnie slightly afraid. He would be fine if the Ultimate Arcane Wizards did not do anything but the moment they did, he would not have anywhere to escape to. There would only be death left for him.

In the past, there was a plunderer with overflowing strength, and became a Supreme King! In order to plunder the Elemental Origins, he even destroyed dozens of prosperous dimensions.

That plunderer’s actions finally roused public anger, and countless Great Legends gathered in Arcane City to request the Ultimate Arcane Wizards to act.

In the end, among the three Great Arcane Wizards, Arcane Wizard Setoh agreed to the Great Legends’ requests, and personally took action. The Supreme King plunderer, hiding in a remote area in the vast Void Zone spanning countless dimensions, was killed in an instant.

This was an Ultimate Arcane Wizard. Ordinary Legends and even Great Kings could not ignore time and space in the Void Zone. After all, there was no time and space in the Void Zone. If a Wizard wanted to arrive quickly, he would have to rely on casting tools to fly there.

Only Ultimate Arcane Wizards could seemingly ignore this limitation. Ultimate Arcane Wizards seemed to be comprehending Maxims as well, but their Maxims covered millions and millions of dimensions. Even if it was the Void Zone, it was under their Maxim.

No one could clearly say how strong an Ultimate Arcane Wizard was. After all, there had only been three Ultimate Arcane Wizards in the history of the Spell Caster civilization. There was still a lot of mysteries regarding them.

Therefore, as a plunderer, Legend Arnie could afford not to care about others but he was still a little scared of a Wizard-in-residence of Arcane City as it involved an Ultimate Arcane Wizard. No matter how strong a plunderer was, if they were targeted by an Ultimate Arcane Wizard, it would be useless no matter where they fled.

After muttering for a moment, Legend Arnie stared at Legend Zado and said, “Zado, sign the agreement!”

Then, Legend Arnie took out a contract. The contents were very simple; Legend Zado was not allowed to spread any information about the lodes of elemental crystal stones in the Satsuma Dimension.

“Phew…”

Legend Zado sighed in relief. As long as he signed the agreement, that meant that Legend Arnie was still afraid. Legend Zado also detested plunderers. Plunderers were just like parasites. Aside from being helpful to some foreign tribes, the rest of the time, they were just destroying the root of the Spell Caster civilization.

“I can sign the contract. However, my disciple Merlin will have to sign it too!”

Legend Zado looked at Merlin in the Pavilion of Rarities. As long as Merlin also signed the contract, Legend Zado would not take action toward the other party. Otherwise, he would not rest assured.

“Hm?”

Legend Arnie looked at Merlin and said coldly, “Those two must die!”

“What? Legend Arnie, Merlin is my disciple. If I can’t even protect my disciple, what’s the point of being an Honored Legend? What right will I have to stand among other Legends?”

Legend Zado’s expression also became cold. If he left safely today but Merlin died, he would no longer have any place among the Legends. He would become a laughingstock among the Legends.

Furthermore, Zado valued Merlin very much, so naturally, he would not let Merlin die just like that.

“There’s no room for negotiating about that! Zado, my patience has its limits. If you don’t sign the contract, neither of you will be able to walk away.”

Legend Arnie’s tone was full of undisguised threat.

At this time, Legend Zado also sneered. Suddenly, he raised his voice and shouted, “Legend Arnie, this is the Shkedu Dimension. It’s a dimension that became prosperous after signing the Legends’ Accord. Plunderers have never been welcomed here!”

Legend Zado’s intention was completely obvious in the vast Void Zone. That was because he felt the Mind Powers of several Honored Legends.

Most of these Honored Legends among the nine Honored Legends in the Shkedu Dimension. Since something so large happened in the Shkedu Dimension, they could not just remain indifferent.

As if knowing what Zado was planning, Legend Arnie frowned. “Since you’re not willing to sign the agreement, looks like you’ve already sensed that they’ll help you.”

“Boom!”

Without warning, Legend Arnie acted. His first move was his strongest Flame Maxim. The entire sky seemed to burn in blazing red, and even the Void itself started to collapse.

The essence of Flames was destructive! Burning flames, especially flames that were condensed to the extreme, was astonishing in destructive power. Legend Arnie controlled the flames and shot straight toward Legend Zado.

“Five-Elemental Maxim, go!”

Legend Zado had prepared long ago. No matter how quickly Legend Arnie acted, he still rapidly released his Five-Elemental Maxim, which quickly formed a giant Maxim shield that emitted five-colored lights. It looked exceedingly beautiful.

When the five Maxims consolidated, it could release terrifying power. That was the reason why the Legendary Wizard standing above all ordinary Legends – Legend Zado – was so renowned in the entire Spell Caster civilization.

Furthermore, Legend Zado’s Earth Maxim was just shy of reaching the pinnacle of comprehension.

It was just that little but the disparity was as wide as heaven and earth!

When Legend Arnie’s Flame Maxim covered the five Maxims, the latter shattered instantly. It could not resist at all and was completely crushed.

“What? It couldn’t resist it. It couldn’t even slow it down…”

Legend Zado’s face paled. Ever since he consolidated the five Maxims, no one in the Spell Caster civilization could stand up to him. When he fought against three Legends with four Maxims, he had easily won.

He had even felt that even if there was a difference between an Honored Legend and him, it would not be that large.

However, now, Legend Arnie’s Flame Maxim had shattered Legend Zado’s fantasy. He used to think that he was extremely strong with his five Maxims but against Wizard Arnie’s Flame Maxim, there was no difference as if he only had one Maxim.

It was just a difference of a single step but it was a vast insurmountable gap!

Wizard Arnie’s turbulent Flame Maxim blanketed the surroundings, and surged forward to engulf Legend Zado. At this time, everyone could feel Legend Arnie’s killing intent. He was serious about killing Legend Zado. The fear he had toward Arcane City before was completely thrown to the back of his mind.

After all, he was a plunderer – a plunderer who did not care about any sort of consequences!
