“Merlin, what are you doing?”
Wizard Setoh saw that Merlin was making a beeline for the Limbo Prison, and asked hurriedly.
Merlin did not answer Wizard Setoh but instead, asked Flarite, “These flames of the Limbo Prison are left behind by the Flare Emperor?”
“That’s right, the flames of the Limbo Prison are left behind by Sir Flare Emperor. Actually, Sir Flare Emperor is different from us. He’s not from any Flare Tribe. From birth to death, Sir Flare Emperor is unique because he’s born from the flames. In other words, Sir Flare Emperor himself is a strand of flame!”
Setoh raised an eyebrow, asking disbelievingly, “How’s that possible? If the Flare Emperor is a flame, that would reverse the natural order. How is that possible?”
“There’s nothing impossible.”
Faced with Wizard Setoh’s questioning, Flarite became more generous with information instead. He smiled and said, “In the vast Void Zone, what life form doesn’t exist? According to an ancient legend, any life born from reversing the natural order would surely be a noble existence. Lifeforms that reverse the natural order have unimaginable potential. Back then, Sir Flare Emperor was one such being that reversed the natural order, being born of flames. In the end, he became one of the greatest Thirty-six Emperors!”
Flarite began to explain once more. The Flare Emperor was singular indeed, and could not be replicated. Although these sentinels had the surname “Flar(e)”, in truth, they were not a tribe. Instead, they were foreign tribes recruited by the Flare Emperor from various dimensions of the Void Zone.
There was only one true member of the Flare Tribe, and that was the Flare Emperor!
“Wizard Setoh, just think of the black cat Didimoss and you’ll understand.”
Conversely, Merlin was first to accept this. After all, the black cat Didimoss had spent a significant period by Merlin’s side. Merlin was not surprised at all if Didimoss progressed even more rapidly than Merlin.
“Didimoss… That’s true. If it’s a life form that reverses the natural order, it boggles the mind! To be able to become one of the Thirty-six Emperors isn’t that inconceivable!”
Now Wizard Setoh had gradually understood the might of the Thirty-six Emperors. These were existences who were acknowledged to stand at the peak of the entire Void Zone. Each of the Thirty-six Emperors had many ultimate existences under their command.
He knew that even Augustus, compared to the Thirty-six Emperors, would face a world of difference. There was no point of comparison at all.
“Since these flames were left behind by the Flare Emperor, they must be the true Essence of Fire. Even though there’s no power of the natural order, they’re endlessly powerful, not inferior to a Flame Maxim in the slightest!”
When this occurred to him, Merlin became more interested in the Limbo Prison. After condensing his Darkness Maxim, he kept thinking of condensing more ultimate Maxims.
The moment he had condensed one more ultimate Maxim, Merlin would become a Great Lord. Nonetheless, Merlin’s talent for understanding Maxims was not that great. Although he was a rare Six-Elemental Wizard, he merely had unlimited potential.
At present, he had the highest chance of condensing a Fire-type ultimate Maxim. Therefore, when he came across these light blue flames that were connected to fire, and left behind by the Flare Emperor, one of the lofty Thirty-six Emperors, Merlin naturally could not miss this chance.
“You wish to rely on these flames left by the Flare Emperor to consolidate a Fire-type Maxim?”
Setoh finally figured out Merlin’s plan, and asked with a frown.
Merlin nodded. Nonetheless, Wizard Setoh had missed the mark somewhat. Merlin did not simply wish to condense a Maxim but an ultimate Maxim!
Although his chances were low, he had to try it no matter what. There was no time to lose for it was rare to come by a chance like this.
“Master of the sacred land, I wish to attain the Flame Maxim. You should be able to control the Limbo Prison. Can you leave behind a tiny portion of the flames?”
Merlin did not blindly rush into the raging, sizzling flames of the Limbo Prison. This was a place feared even by Great Lords, used expressly to punish powerful beings who incited trouble in the prison. Naturally, Merlin had to be prudent.
“You want to use these flames? Right on, you must want to use them to understand something. We’ve often learned from these flames Sir Flare Emperor had left behind as well. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be where we are today…”
Flarite could understand Merlin’s intentions. This was something left by one of the mighty existences of the Thirty-six Emperors, how could it not be precious? Anyone who utilized the power of “fire” would be tempted.
Setoh and Merlin had figured out that the Flare Region world used to cultivate the power of fire. This was likely linked to the Flare Emperor, who had imparted this system of power. Meanwhile Flarite, in turn, passed it on to the rest of the Flare Region world.
Merlin’s body still flickered with the Darkness Maxim. The Maxim Chains protected Merlin from head to toe. As soon as he stepped into the Limbo Prison, Merlin could feel a force of extreme danger.
Although these light blue flames were already under Flarite’s total control, Merlin was still very cautious, not daring to let down his guard at all.
“Alright, you can release some of the flames. Let me experience them properly.”
Merlin shut his eyes lightly. He had already prepared himself for the experience. His mind started to recall his understanding of flames, and his learning of Fire Element before this. These all battered against his mind incessantly.
When he was originally a Great Wizard, Merlin’s understanding of Fire Element was about the same as his understanding of Darkness Element. However, later on, Merlin’s Darkness-type understanding advanced, and took the lead in condensing an ultimate Maxim.
With Merlin’s current comprehension of Fire Element, he should just about be able to condense an ordinary Maxim, becoming a Legend. Nonetheless, this was merely the first step, far from enough. What he wanted to create was an ultimate Maxim!
Although there was no essential difference between ultimate Maxims and ordinary Maxims, the disparity in strength was huge. Just as with humans – there was a massive difference between a child and a strong healthy adult.
Merlin wanted to directly attain the ultimate Maxim, which was akin to forcing his “growth”, cutting short the time it would take. Naturally, this was very challenging. The usual process would take many years.

“Take note, I’ll slowly release the flames in the Limbo Prison!”
Flarite began to slowly release the flames of the Limbo Prison. In gradual degrees, the heat of the Limbo Prison started to increase, and Merlin was faced with the light blue flames which even Lords feared.
The flames on Merlin’s body were furiously burning as well. He wanted to distinguish between these two types of flames. This was one of the methods for attaining an ultimate Maxim. Only through differentiation, one could recognize the Essence of the Element.
“Sizzle.”
When the two types of flames met, although Merlin’s flames were greater in volume, and the light blue flame merely had one wisp, this light blue flame still did not lose any ground despite being surrounded by Merlin’s flames. Instead, it drew support from Merlin’s flames and combust vigorously, flaring up in force.
The light blue flames used Merlin’s flames to burn madly. Merlin was rather taken aback. Flames could be incinerated by flames. Merlin had never seen this, so it far surpassed his imagination.
Not even the strongest Fire-type Maxim could use other flames as a base for combustion.
Although Merlin did not know what this was, this did not hinder his learning. He stared at the seemingly unstoppable blaze and gained another insight. The Essence of flames was to burn!
Fire was equivalent to burning!
No matter what power or function it had, fire could only be produced after combustion. Before this, Merlin’s understanding of flames was limited to destruction and power, which slightly touched upon the true Essence. Still, that would merely produce an ordinary Maxim.
The ultimate Maxim of flames was in fact burning. Based on how the light blue flames had used his ordinary flames as a foundation to begin the ignition, a flash of inspiration immediately came to Merlin. Burning – no matter what, anything below flames could burn.
Perhaps the Flare Emperor’s flames were significantly distinct from the Flame Maxim that Merlin was attaining. After all, the system of power was different. Nevertheless, Merlin was inspired, gaining new comprehension.
“Rumble.”
In an instant, Merlin’s flames swelled up dramatically, forming a terrifying sea of fire in mid-air that nearly enveloped the entire sacred land!
“What’s this?”
Flarite was slightly shocked. This was such a tremendous commotion that might affect his control over the Flare Region world. After all, the sacred land was the core of the prison area.
“He’s condensed a Fire-type ultimate Maxim? He really is consolidating it…”
Nothing could beat Setoh’s amazement. He knew clearly what it meant to consolidate an ultimate Maxim in one step. Most Wizards would condense a Maxim before slowly consolidating an ultimate Maxim. If everything went smoothly, it would take a few centuries or even a thousand years.
However, Merlin had just condensed the Darkness Maxim – how long ago was that? Now, he was starting to consolidate a Fire-type ultimate Maxim. Once he had succeeded, the Spell Caster civilization would have another Great Lord!
Back then, the Blackfire Lord had only become a Great Lord with Darkness-type and Fire-type Maxims. If Merlin could successfully condense an ultimate Flame Maxim, he would not be inferior to the Blackfire Lord.
Due to his Mind Power system, Merlin was even able to wield more functions than the Blackfire Lord.
“Perhaps it’s time to call him the Glory Lord!”
A smile tugged at the corner of Wizard Setoh’s mouth. No matter what, when Merlin’s abilities had improved and the Spell Caster had an additional Great Lord, it was worthy of celebration.
The disturbance in the sky grew wilder and wilder. It was not Elements but simply the ultimate Maxim that Merlin was consolidating. Clouds of fire descended, transforming into wisps of Maxim. This was distinct from Merlin’s Maxim Chains. This time, the Fire-type Maxim turned into balls of condensation. Merlin could clearly feel the fearsome strength contained within.
“Maxim Chains can seal off while the Fire-type Maxim possesses a mighty attack…”
A smirk flitted across Merlin’s lips. Bit by bit, he slowly absorbed the Flame Maxim that filled the sky into his own body.
At the present moment, Merlin was already a Great Lord!
“Boom.”
Suddenly, the entire sacred land quaked slightly. Soon, a very fine crack appeared in the air. In the midst of the flames, it was completely unremarkable.
However, both Setoh and Flarite looked up quickly toward the sky, their eyes fixed steadily upon that crack. Flarite seemed rather remorseful as he said, “After causing such a great disturbance, I’m afraid it has damaged the core of the prison. This will affect the entire Flare Region world. However, that small bit of power was insufficient to cause the Flare Region world to shake like that, much less create a crack. Could it be the flames of the Limbo Prison?”
Flarite knew that the sacred land was the core of the entire Flare Region world. Any changes that happened to the sacred land would reverberate across the entire Flare Region world.
Moreover, the sacred land’s core was the Limbo Prison designed by the Flare Emperor! It was just that the light blue flames of the Limbo Prison were too overbearing. Usually, Flarite would not come to the Limbo Prison on his own.
However, Setoh had sensed something else. As an avatar of an ultimate existence, although he could not mobilize the power of the natural order, he had an unparalleled sensitivity toward it.
Therefore, in that instant when the crack emerged, the power of the natural order rapidly surged in. Setoh noticed this at once because the Flare Region world functioned to cut off the natural order’s power, so his senses were particularly heightened.
“So, this gigantic prison of the Flare Region world isn’t indestructible!”
When he saw that crack, and felt the sudden surge of the power of the natural order, Wizard Setoh was incomparably galvanized. He seemed to have gained hope of leaving the Flare Region world!
