“Wizard Merlin!”
Seeing Merlin emerging from subspace, Franz, Ducas, and the others stood up abruptly with an overjoyed expression.
Finally, Merlin had appeared. This was not a matter that Franz and the others could handle.
“Wizard Merlin, we’re in deep trouble! Currently, we’ve occupied a total of eight dimensions. This has raised alarm and heightened fear among the surrounding foreign tribes. It’s fine if they are just ordinary foreign tribes. Even a fearsome existence comparable to a four-Maxim Legend could be easily faced-off by Wizard Merlin. However, this time, an extraordinary existence is heading our way.”
“What? There’s a foreign tribe creature that could spark fear in you?”
Merlin laughed. In this period, he had occupied a total of eight dimensions. Other than the three dimensions that Merlin tackled personally, the remaining five dimensions were snatched by Franz and the others with the help of the six martial arts robots and four guardian puppets.
With Merlin’s support, they did not seem to encounter any problem. There was not a single foreign tribe around them that was a worthy opponent to Merlin.
Hence, throughout this time, Franz and the others appeared to be confident.
However, this time they must have caught a snag. Otherwise, all four of them would not have come to see Merlin.
“Wizard Merlin, this foreign tribe creature isn’t to be trifled with. He’s from the Golden Light Tribe, and his name is Maya.”
“The Golden Light Tribe?”
Merlin thought carefully, and finally recalled about this tribe. The Golden Light Tribe was merely a relatively weak civilization.
Of course, compared to civilizations which were yet to step out of their dimensions, they were considered much more powerful. Furthermore, the strongest contender of the Golden Light Tribe was only an Honored Legend.
Why would Franz and the others be so fearful of such a weak civilization?
“The Golden Light Tribe is just a weak civilization. What are you afraid of?”
Franz revealed a bitter smile. “Wizard Merlin, the Golden Light Tribe is indeed a weak civilization but their one and only Honored Legend existence is heading toward us. That’s Maya.”
Merlin’s face paled slightly. An existence comparable to an Honored Legend was rarely seen in the boundless territory. After all, any Honored Legend existence would be able to occupy a large force wherever they were.
Thus, the ordinary Honored Legends would not care to venture into the boundless territory.
“What’s up with Maya? Why is he coming here?”
Merlin asked for details. If Maya was heading here, then the matter must not be simple.
“Wizard Merlin, as you know, the Golden Light Tribe is a weak civilization. One of the dimensions that we’ve seized previously belonged to the Golden Light Tribe. That Golden Light contender managed to escape using his innate ability, which is commonly seen in the boundless territory, so we didn’t put much importance to it. Nevertheless, we didn’t imagine that the contender from the Golden Light Tribe had managed to persuade Maya. As a result, we received this piece of information and came to discuss with Wizard Merlin.”
“Maya...”
Merlin also found the situation to be tricky. After all, his opponent was an Honored Legend. Even though Merlin was considered a strong contender just below an Honored Legend, he still had not become an Honored Legend.
Back then, the will avatar of the Lord God of Light was not considered an Honored Legend either. It was only because of the formidable might of his will that it was almost comparable to an Honored Legend.
Compared to a real Honored Legend, there was still a substantial gap.
Nevertheless, Merlin was not afraid. There was no fear in him but instead, a faint thrill.
“It has been such a long time. I should find someone more powerful to spar with. Hopefully, I can leverage on this spar to consolidate an ultimate Maxim and become an Honored Legend!”
Thinking along these lines, Merlin asked, “This strongest contender from the Golden Light Tribe, which dimension does he occupy? Can you bring me there?”
“Wizard Merlin, he’s an Honored Legend, and not just an ordinary Honored Legend. As the top contender of the Golden Light Tribe, Maya is a true prodigy. The ability to lead an entire tribe isn’t a simple feat. We better not meet him head-on. If there’s no other way, we should relinquish this dimension.”
Franz proposed the safest solution.
However, Merlin shook his head. He had already made up his mind. He would not relinquish a dimension regardless of what happened. This was the first step toward building his force. Even if he did not manage to consolidate an ultimate Maxim, the Dimension Origin was still useful to consolidate other Maxims.
Furthermore, he had already intended to use his spar with Maya to break through the final step of consolidating an ultimate Maxim. In the worst-case scenario, he still had the main cannon of the empire-level warship. Therefore, his safety was guaranteed.
Hence, he would not shy away from this battle.
“Someone comparable to an Honored Legend... This will be my first!”
A steely glint of hostility arose in Merlin’s eyes. After such a long time, he had never fought a real Honored Legend before. Maya would be the first.
...
In the vast Void Zone, a few figures were flying speedily. Although the distance between the dimensions was relatively near, even a Great Legend would have to fly for a long time.
These few figures were amazingly fast. They had transformed into a golden ray of light and shot straight ahead. If anyone familiar saw them, they would know that only the Golden Light Tribe possessed such a unique characteristic.
The Golden Light Tribe obviously excelled at speed. Once their powers were unleashed, a golden ray would appear around their bodies. However, there was not a single recognition as to whether the Golden Light Tribe or the Feather Tribe was faster.
The Feather Tribe had an ultimate existence, so they were considered a powerful civilization. Due to this reason, they did not care to compete with the Golden Light Tribe. However, the Golden Light Tribe held complete confidence that their speed was much faster than the Feather Tribe.
“Elder Maya, it’s just right in front! It wasn’t easy for our Golden Light Tribe to occupy a dimension in the boundless territory. We were preparing to use this dimension as our base, and gradually expand to occupy some other dimensions. This is to secure more living spaces for our Golden Light Tribe. However, out of nowhere, a detestable Spell Caster Alliance came into existence, and forcefully exiled us from the dimension...”
Among these few figures, a burly man with a faint golden glow said with a hint of indignation. Everyone knew that the Spell Casters were the most powerful force in the boundless territory.
“The Spell Caster civilization is the most powerful force in the boundless territory. Ordinarily, we wouldn’t provoke them, but that dimension is the base for the Golden Light Tribe, so we cannot afford to lose it!”
Their leader was a slender man with bright green eyes and dark green skin. These were attributes exclusive to the Golden Light Tribe.
This being was the number one contender of the Golden Light Tribe, Maya!
Upon hearing that the dimension had been snatched, he was extremely furious. For such a weak civilization like the Golden Light Tribe, snatching a single dimension was truly challenging. Typically, Maya would not leave the Golden Light Tribe. He was the only great existence who was comparable to an Honored Legend. Unless it was important, he would not leave the Golden Light Dimension.
However, this matter at hand was too important. Until this day, the Golden Light Tribe had only occupied a total of two dimensions. The first was the Origin Dimension of the Golden Light civilization, and the second was the dimension in the boundless territory.
From the perspective of a weaker civilization, occupying a dimension was extremely difficult. Hence, upon receiving news that their dimension had been occupied, Maya put everything down and came to the boundless territory.
Nevertheless, despite his fury, Maya was not completely irrational to challenge the Spell Caster civilization. All he wanted was to exile the Spell Casters from the Golden Light Tribe’s dimension and teach them a lesson to preserve the second dimension of the Golden Light Tribe. He did not want to cause a big scene.
There was a stark distinction from the powerful civilizations such as the Feather Tribe and the Giant Tribe. These tribes could act freely. They could snatch and seize dimensions as they liked or kill one another without compassion. If someone died, that was all. Their respective civilizations would not retaliate.
On the other hand, things were different for a weak civilization. In the boundless territory where the Spell Caster civilization had such a powerful force, even the death of an ordinary Legend would stir up a huge wave.
If that happened, it would not bode well for the Golden Light Tribe.
That was why, up till now, Maya kept his wits intact. Upon seeing the huge dimension in front, he took a deep breath, and exuded a powerful aura. Then, he swiftly approached the dimension.
...
“Hmm? Arrived so soon?”
In the dimension, Merlin opened his eyes abruptly. Currently, he was the only one standing guard in the dimension. As for the other Spell Casters such as Franz, they were in the other dimensions.
Faced against a formidable existence comparable to an Honored Legend such as Maya, Franz, and the others were completely useless. Nonetheless, they were watching the situation closely from the other dimensions.
“Swish.”
Merlin stepped out of the dimension. He could succinctly sense that a terrifying aura was being broadcasted outside the dimension. There was no intention to be subtle, instead, the aura was boldly unleashed in all directions.
An existence comparable to an Honored Legend could agitate the Dimension Origin with just his aura. After all, even an ordinary Legend could cause an entire dimension to collapse. Hence, if an Honored Legend so willed, a single strike could destroy the dimension.
Merlin left the dimension and came to the Void Zone. Spotting a figure amid a golden ray, he immediately knew that Maya from the Golden Light Tribe had arrived. Since the other being did not enter the dimension, his intention was clear. Maya did not want to destroy the dimension.
“An Honored Legend!”
Merlin stared hotly at Maya. Both sides did not speak, appearing to engage in an invisible aura battle.
“Maya is the number one contender of the Golden Light Tribe, and is comparable to an Honored Legend. How long could Wizard Merlin hold on?”
“I’m sure Maya wouldn’t dare to act rashly. The Golden Light Tribe is merely a weak civilization whereas the boundless territory houses the Spell Caster’s most powerful force...”
Franz and the others still felt a little uneasy. Currently, Merlin was the foundation of their alliance. If something were to happen to Merlin, their alliance would naturally fall apart.
Should that happen, then the eight dimensions that they were occupying might be forcibly snatched by the contenders of other foreign tribes. This was an outcome that Franz and the others were unwilling to see.
