Chapter 726: Resurrection through the Soul Medallion

In Setoh Arcane City, everything was calm once again. The civilization war with the Rock Tribe had ended for now, so everything was quiet and peaceful in the entire Setoh Arcane City.

“Swoosh.”

In the depths of Setoh Arcane City, however, the great Ultimate Arcane Wizard Setoh opened his eyes furiously. A piercing glint flashed in his eyes, and he growled, “Lord God of Light, how dare you?”

At the same time, in the other two Arcane Cities, two similar cries of rage sounded as well. In an instant, bursts of mystical fluctuations affected the natural order flow of the Void Zone.

The three Great Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization were enraged, and they hurried to the Glorious Land as quickly as they could. This was because they had just sensed an unexpected situation at the Glorious Land.

The Lord God of Light had reached the Glorious Land! As the origin of the Spell Caster civilization, nothing must happen to the Glorious Land. Therefore, the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards simultaneously hurried toward the Glorious Land without further discussion.

…

Destruction, it was an endless destructive force. Merlin had never felt as powerless as he did now. His Wizard Heart, the Illusory World, and even the empire-level warship of the Atlan civilization – everything he had relied upon was now useless.

Under the Lord God of Light’s attack, all of this power appeared so puny, unable to block it at all.

“Bang.”

This immense power promptly crushed Merlin to smithereens, without meeting the slightest resistance. The power of an ultimate existence was far from something Merlin could withstand.

At this moment, Merlin’s consciousness sank into infinite darkness. There was only darkness and more darkness.

“Maybe this is death…”

Merlin’s long sigh came to an end. His body was crushed to bits, turned to ashes, and the multi-colored Wizard Heart disappeared completely. All that was left was a few Spatial Rings, which remained even after such a dreadful blow. Perhaps the Lord God of Light had left them intentionally.

“Lord God of Light, how dare you?”

Suddenly, another dazzling burst of light appeared. The moment Arcane Wizard Setoh appeared, he waved his hand. Terrifying vortexes appeared all around the Void Zone, aimed at the Lord God of Light from every direction.

At a level like theirs, it was just a contest of pure strength from the natural order. After all, they were all ultimate existences who had merged with the natural order. Whoever could mobilize more of the natural order’s power would be the stronger one.

“Haha, Setoh, you’re no match for me by yourself. A puny Spell Caster dared to destroy my will avatar, so he must be punished.”

The Lord God of Light was not afraid of the Arcane Wizard Setoh at all, so he was not troubled in the slightest and immediately turned to leave.

“Leaving so soon? Lord God of Light, do you really think there’s no one else in our Spell Caster civilization?”

A cold voice rang out, following which a man with clear, cold eyes appeared in a white robe. He was the one who watched over Ceci Arcane City, Arcane Wizard Ceci.

“Buzz.”

Arcane Wizard Ceci acted immediately. He had mobilized the power of the natural order without holding back. Instantly, the entire Void Zone seethed like a storm. Although there was no time nor space, this invisible crushing power of the natural order was majestic, boundless, and terrifying.

This time, a slight change finally came over the Lord God of Light’s face. He was not a match for two Arcane Wizards. Nonetheless, faced with their suppression through the power of the natural order, he did not resist but instead, tried his best to return to the Light Dimension.

Once an ultimate existence was bent on leaving, it was difficult to stop him.

“You can’t stop me from leaving.”

The Lord God of Light’s body was ringed with holy light. He had already activated the power of the natural order and would leave in an instant.

“Is that so? Lord God of Light, it’s true that no one can stop you from leaving but since you’ve made a rare visit to the Spell Caster civilization, you should leave something behind…”

A serene voice sounded, and the Lord God of Light, who had been unruffled until now, finally revealed a fearful expression. Before him, a black-robed figure appeared.

This figure was dressed in black, and his hair was black too. He was draped all in black, causing a tremble even in the depths of one’s heart.

This was the strongest contender of the Spell Caster civilization – the first Honored Legend, the first Lord, and the first Arcane Wizard – the noble Wizard Augustus!

“Augustus, you came too? You, three Arcane Wizards, are attacking all at once. Are you trying to start a war between the Spell Caster civilization and the God Alliance?”

Maybe the Lord God of Light was unafraid of Setoh or Ceci but if Augustus was in the mix, then things were different. The Lord God of Light might be more or less on the same level as Ceci and Setoh but Augustus was the first Arcane Wizard of the Spell Caster civilization, inducing great apprehension in him.

“You, the Lord God of Light, can represent the God Alliance?”

Augustus’ face broke out into a cold smile, then he pointed with one finger.

“Hiss.”

Even with layers of holy light as protection, the Lord God of Light was unable to block this blow. A wisp of black smoke appeared on his body, which formed a sharp contrast against the pure holy light.

This meant that the ultimate Lord God of Light was injured!

“Very well! Augustus, after I’ve recovered from this injury, I won’t forget this gesture of yours!”

The Lord God of Light threw out this vicious line, after which the holy light dispersed and his body vanished without a trace. It seemed that this blow had caused him significant harm but it was the limit as well. After all, it was extremely difficult to kill an ultimate existence. It was nearly impossible, even with the power of the Spell Caster civilization’s three Great Arcane Wizards.

As he stared at the disappearing Lord God of Light, Augustus looked toward the Glorious Land once more. He stretched out a hand and grabbed the Spatial Ring left by Merlin in the empty space.

“Setoh, is this the Merlin you sent into the Glorious Land? The Lord God of Light was exasperated and bad-tempered, having to lose a will avatar. It looks like Merlin has destroyed the Church of Light in the Glorious Land. He’s done very well, it’s just a shame that…”

Augustus shook his head, feeling sorry about Merlin’s fate. After all, back during the war with the Rock Tribe, Merlin had demonstrated abilities beyond a civilization-level genius.

It was a great thing for the entire Spell Caster civilization, but now, the Lord God of Light had arrived in person and killed Merlin. Not even Augustus, the first Arcane Wizard of the Spell Caster civilization, could do anything.

Setoh glanced at the Glorious Land which was still sealed, a complicated look flitting across his face. He muttered, “We’ve arrived too late. Who knew that a lofty ultimate existence like the Lord God of Light, who had started a god organization, would come here himself to deal with a Spell Caster who wasn’t even a Legend?”

Setoh did not even know how to explain this to the Blackfire Lord.

“Huh? His mind imprint still hasn’t vanished. Is he not dead?”

Augustus carefully observed the Spatial Ring in his hand, and a bewildered look emerged on his face.

“Not dead? How’s that possible? It was a full-force blow from the ultimate existence, the Lord God of Light. Who could withstand that?”

Setoh and Ceci were both doubtful. They had come here one step before Augustus, and both had felt Merlin’s force vanished instantly. This was a sure sign of death.

“Or… Could it be an avatar? I’ve heard that he’s a formidable Mind Power Master!”

Augustus looked at the Glorious Land thoughtfully, and many possibilities flashed across his mind.

Therefore, the three Great Arcane Wizards decided to wait here. If it was an avatar, then Merlin would come out of the Glorious Land.

…

“Hum.”

In the hidden, underground secret place, the pitch-black Soul Medallion suddenly erupted with dazzling light. Thereafter, this light gradually began to twist together as if an unknown power was reconstructing a body.

The sphinx guardian who had detected the commotion hurried to this place. He had been ordered by Merlin to stay here and guard the Soul Medallion. Upon seeing the changes of the Soul Medallion, the sphinx guardian was slightly taken aback.

Nevertheless, upon seeing the familiar figure emerging from the Soul Medallion, the sphinx guardian hurriedly asked in a deferential manner, “Master, how come you’re back again?”

Although it knew of the Soul Medallion’s function, the sphinx guardian was still somewhat unclear about what had happened. Could there be someone in this dimension who was a threat to Merlin?

“Phew…”

Merlin appeared once more from the Soul Medallion. His body was completely reconstituted, exactly the same or perhaps even better than before. This time, he had experienced true death, particularly after his consciousness had sunk into the never-ending darkness. If he was not resurrected, that would mean his consciousness would pass into oblivion.

“So that’s what death is…”

Merlin still seemed immersed in that moment of his death. As his consciousness sank endlessly throughout the darkness, he knew nothing. In that instant between life and death, Merlin learned what true darkness was.

“Wizard Heart!”

The multi-colored Wizard Heart appeared behind Merlin. Before this, Fire Element and Darkness Element were on par with the other, neck to neck. However, after Merlin’s death experience, his Darkness Element was more active.

This meant that Merlin had a deeper understanding of Darkness Element. He could even vaguely feel the ultimate Maxim of Darkness Element.

Before this, Merlin merely had such a goal. As for how he would condense the ultimate Maxim, he did not even have a clear line of reasoning.

However, he now knew that if he wished to consolidate an ultimate Maxim and become an Honored Legend, it was best to start from Darkness Element. This was because his understanding of Darkness Element was more profound now, and he could dimly sense the traits of the ultimate Maxim.

Other than a deepened understanding in terms of the Maxim, Merlin’s improvement in the area of Hallucinating spells was also very direct. Initially, Merlin had reached the third step of the first stage, Hallucinating spells, which seemed very close to the realm of the Illusory Heart. Nonetheless, in truth, Merlin did not have the slightest clue nor direction, and he did not know where to start.

However, Merlin currently had a clear direction, vaguely able to touch the realm of the Illusory Heart. Perhaps in the near future, he might break through completely to the Illusory Heart.

In short, it seemed as if Merlin’s abilities did not change much but in fact, this was very important to Merlin’s future. Still, this did not mean that Merlin should be thankful to the Lord God of Light.

After all, if it was not for the Soul Medallion he received from Aruba, who had left it behind, he really would have died this time!
