Merlin turned his head and discovered that following behind him was a black-robed Spell Caster from Arcane City. This black-robed Spell Caster's face was deathly pale, and his figure was gaunt but his eyes were vividly alert. There was an aura of blood-spill surrounding his body, so obviously it was not his first visit to the Bloodshed Universe.

"Yeah, it's my first time to the Bloodshed Universe."

Merlin answered truthfully. In the Bloodshed Universe, Spell Casters were forbidden from killing one another, therefore, Merlin did not have to fear the other Wizard's intentions.

"The Bloodshed Universe is riddled with dangers. Many Wizards who enter the Bloodshed Universe end up not killing the foreign tribe but instead be killed by them. You must be a Potential Wizard who has just arrived in Arcane City. Follow behind me, you can pick some of the weaker foreign tribe to kill.

Both the tone and expression of this black-robed Wizard was ice-cold, but judging from his words, he was not a heartless Spell Caster.

Merlin's heart thumped. He was indeed unfamiliar with the Bloodshed Universe. Therefore, having a Spell Caster who was well-versed with the Bloodshed Universe beside him would help him to adapt to the Bloodshed Universe, and understand some happenings here. Hence, he did not hesitate. He nodded in agreement.

"How do I address you?"

Merlin asked with a smile.

"Midnight!"

The black-robed Wizard replied coldly.

It was such a peculiar name. Merlin had some doubts but looking at Wizard Midnight's stony expression, Merlin suppressed his own questions and did not open his mouth. Quietly, he followed behind Wizard Midnight.

Along the way, Wizard Midnight was taciturn, and almost did not speak at all. Since Merlin did not know Wizard Midnight's propensity, he did not simply ask questions. The two of them began to fly in silence for a long while.

The Bloodshed Universe was immensely vast. Below them were rolling fields that sprawled endlessly, their boundaries could not even be seen. The scenery was picturesque, evoking a sense of joy and admiration in its beholders. It appeared to be completely disconnected with any semblance of bloodshed.

Even Merlin began to wonder – were they really in the Bloodshed Universe?

"Danger lurks underneath the calmest waters."

Before him, Wizard Midnight suddenly halted his steps. Casting an unfathomable gaze at the fields below, he uttered those words out of the blue. Merlin was still trying to decipher the meaning of Wizard Midnight's words when the very next moment, the happenings in front of his eyes immediately gave him a deep understanding of Wizard Midnight's words.

"Hurricane, burn!"

"Boom!"

Looking at the endless fields, Wizard Midnight suddenly pointed toward the herd of elk. Instantly, green flames shot up into the air and formed a pillar of flames unlike any other. The flames rapidly spread toward the direction of the herd of elk.

The green flames burned like a hurricane, exploding in an instant. The speed was also incredibly fast as it surged across the fields. Wherever the green flames passed by, the lush green grass was burned into ashes.

Merlin's eyes widened slightly. This green flame was not a type of spell but a fusion of Wind-type and Fire-type spells. However, this was different from Merlin's spell fusion because Wizard Midnight's spell stemmed from the combination of Spell Models. In other words, Wizard Midnight was already half a step into becoming a Great Wizard.

Generally, when Spell Casters reached the Ninth-level, their test was to attempt spell fusion. Once they had successfully combined all their Spell Models into one, they would level-up to become a Great Wizard. Nonetheless, this process was extremely challenging. It was also the step that had the highest rate of casualties.

In the process of spell fusion, many Ninth-level Spell Casters experienced a direct collapse of their Spell Models. So, when their Magic Power exploded, the Spell Casters were blown into smithereens, leading to a high death rate. Therefore, without absolute confidence, a Ninth-level Spell Caster usually would not attempt to combine their Spell Models.

Otherwise, it was those Spell Casters who had reached their limits but still desperately wanted to try to become a Great Wizard. However, for this type of Spell Casters, the success rate is relatively minuscule.

Wizard Midnight in front of him had already successfully fused Wind-type and Fire-type spells, so he could be considered a quasi-Great Wizard.

The raging flames burned wildly, and the temperature of the entire grass field soared. Merlin was curious as Wizard Midnight's actions were so flamboyantly aggressive. Was it just to slaughter these elks?

Soon enough, Merlin realized his big mistake. The creatures which he had initially perceived to be normal elks, upon sensing the green flames raging toward them, began to screech loudly. Then, these elks swiftly transformed into big, burly, single-horned, vicious-looking creatures.

"Foreign tribe! These elks are actually the foreign tribe?"

Merlin was stunned that the foreign tribe was disguised as elks as he had not discovered it at all. The ability of this foreign tribe to conceal their auras was truly startling. Only seasoned Wizards who had visited the Bloodshed Universe before, such as Wizard Midnight, knew the true colors of this foreign tribe.

"It's another abominable Spell Caster. Kill, kill, kill these abominable Spell Casters!

"Despicable Spell Casters, enclosing us in this dimension to provide training for your prodigy Wizards. We, the Dora Demon Tribe, curse you eternally. One day, you'll suffer a fate ten thousand times worse than us!"

Amidst the green sea of flames, the bodies of these foreign tribe members emitted faint glimmers of light that tried to resist the burning of the flames. However, this was Wizard Midnight's fused spell. The spell fusion of a powerful peak Ninth-level Spell Caster far outstripped the force of an average spell, and could not be withstood by the foreign tribe. Wherever the flames spread, the curses also ended abruptly as they turned to ashes.

Soon, hundreds of foreign tribe members were turned into ashes, and peace was restored onto the field. Wizard Midnight's expression was very calm. Only the Darkness Elements on his body were looming in and out of sight as if they were trying to perceive something.

Any Spell Caster who could enter the Bloodshed Universe would not shy away from bloodshed, and instead, use it to enhance their abilities. Merlin's objective was to cultivate Darkness Eye whereas Wizard Midnight's objective seemed to be to gain an understanding of Darkness-type spells.

Wizard Midnight was also a rare Darkness-type Wizard.

"Hum."

Merlin also did not stand around idly. He immediately wielded Darkness Eye, and a huge ghostly face appeared above his head. At the same time, faint traces of cold air began to seep into Darkness Eye in his palm.

These were all negative emotions that were absorbed by Darkness Eye. Merlin could even sense the "excitement" of Darkness Eye.

"The negative emotions are really strong. The grudges held by the foreign tribe are so strong that even after their death, it can excite Darkness Eye to this extent."

Merlin felt the negative emotions left behind by the foreign tribe after their death. It was so vicious that it made Darkness Eye "excited", which was not a simple feat. Earlier, Wizard Midnight's attack had provoked such an unparalleled degree of grudge from the foreign tribe that it could not have accumulated overnight. This amount of grudge must have accumulated over countless years.

Merlin was very unfamiliar with this Bloodshed Universe. All he knew that there was a foreign tribe called the Dora Demon Tribe. Besides that, Merlin knew nothing else.

"Wizard Midnight, how much do you know about the Dora Demon Tribe in the Bloodshed Universe?"

Seeing Wizard Midnight opening his eyes, Merlin immediately asked.

"The Dora Demon Tribe was discovered over two thousand years ago in the Dora Dimension. They were then controlled by the Spell Casters, who even imparted some knowledge to the Dora Demons. Of course, due to their natural disposition, the Dora Demons were unable to construct spells. However, based on the knowledge imparted to them, the Dora Demon Tribe created a set of cultivation system that was suitable for them.

"It was only later when the Spell Casters fought against another civilization that the Dora Demon Tribe revealed their cruel and vicious side. They betrayed the Spell Caster civilization, and helped another foreign civilization to vanquish hundreds and thousands of powerful Wizards. In that war, the Spell Casters suffered massive losses. Thereafter, the enraged Ultimate Arcane Wizards got directly involved and defeated the foreign civilization. Originally, they were about to wipe out the entire Dora Demon Tribe but then, a Legendary Wizard suggested to create a Bloodshed Universe dimension and make the Dora Demon Tribe the training targets of Spell Casters. So, the Dora Demon Tribe cannot leave the Bloodshed Universe forever, until this tribe completely disappears.

"Hehe, but the Dora Demon Tribe is also incredible. Their reproduction rate is extremely fast. Although two thousand years have passed, and Spell Casters have been killing them in succession, the Dora Demon Tribe is yet to be exterminated. In fact, their numbers are growing steadily. In any case, this is good because the Bloodshed Universe is very helpful to some Spell Casters."

Merlin digested this information in silence. He did not expect that the Dora Demon Tribe in the Bloodshed Dimension had such a tragic history. If even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards were enraged, then the damage suffered by the Spell Casters must have been catastrophic.

This was also the cruelest punishment for the Dora Demon Tribe!

"Does this mean that access to the Bloodshed Dimension isn't restricted to Spell Casters from Arcane City only?"

Merlin had heard another meaning in Wizard Midnight's explanation. It sounded like the Bloodshed Universe was not owned by Arcane City.

"Of course. The Bloodshed Universe can be connected to hundreds and thousands of Spell Caster dimensions throughout the Void Zone. However, because there's no time and space in the Void Zone, the special techniques of the Ultimate Arcane Wizards are needed to bridge to the Bloodshed Universe. It's very simple to enter the Bloodshed Universe from Arcane City but if you want to enter the Bloodshed Universe from another place, it will cost you dearly. A Great Legend will have to diminish some Maxim to be able to send a Spell Caster here."

Merlin nodded. It seemed like in this Bloodshed Universe, he might meet with Spell Casters from other dimensions. Moreover, any Spell Caster who could persuade a Great Legend to diminish some of his Maxim's power in order to send him into the Bloodshed Universe would surely be the pride and joy of their respective Spell Caster dimensions. Merlin could not help but hoped that he would encounter some Spell Casters from other dimensions.

"Alright, let's continue walking."

Wizard Midnight straightened himself. He appeared to have gained some understanding. Thus, he led Merlin to continue to wander around the vast Bloodshed Universe.
