《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret
Advertisement
In the air, Merlin and Alcra formed one faction while Luca and Bordeaux formed another. The remaining two, Kubale and the giant Nestia also subtly joined forces.
Therefore, the situation became very tense, and nobody dared to attack first.
Suddenly, Luca said with a dark expression, "Nestia, Kubale, hehe, you better not look down on Alcra and this weak-looking Spell Caster. In reality, this weakly Spell Caster is a mysterious Mind Power Master. His Hallucinating spells are very advanced. Even I, if slightly careless, would be somewhat affected."
"Mind Power Master?"
A strange glint appeared in Kubale's eyes. He was a powerful Spell Caster. Although both belonged to the Spell Caster civilization, under such a circumstance where they were vying for the Elemental Origin, he definitely would not help Merlin.
Kubale, of course knew of Mind Power Masters but he also knew that most Mind Power Masters could only affect Spell Casters below the level of a Great Wizard. If Merlin could affect a Great Wizard, then he must be a truly formidable Mind Power Master.
"Spit it out, Luca, what are you trying to say?"
Kubale's eyes squinted. He retracted his gaze from Merlin and turned toward Luca. He would not believe that Luca was reminding them out of kindness.
"It's very simple. In order to control this dimension, we must kill both Alcra and this person. They're now in control of this dimension, so only by killing them, we can control the Dimension Core! After killing them, the ownership of the Dimension Core will be determined based on our respective techniques!"
"Swoosh."
Luca's suggestion made both faces of Merlin and Alcra turned grave. If it was only Luca and Bordeaux, they might still be able to resist somewhat. However, with the giant Nestia and Kubale thrown in the mix, Merlin and Alcra had no chance of winning.
"Yes, after all, we're not Great Legends, so we cannot forcibly plunder an Elemental Origin controlled by others. We can only kill Alcra first, then fight for the dimension thereafter!"
Kubale's gaze continued to sweep over Alcra and Merlin calculatingly. There was a hint of animosity from him.
Gradually, the four of them slowly formed a circle, with Merlin and Alcra trapped in the middle.
"This is troublesome."
Alcra murmured. Suddenly, the giant Nestia and Rock Creature Luca's bodies began to expand. The giant, especially, whose arm was as thick as a large pillar, directly swept at Alcra. Such raw power was even more terrifying than Luca.
With regard to strength, no one could compare to the Giant Tribe. This was the unique talent of the Giant Tribe!

At the same time, Kubale waved his hand lightly. A layer of color ray appeared and blanketed the surroundings. Various elements combined to form a stunning binding spell. Perhaps, with Merlin and Alcra's combined powers and a little more time, they could break through Kubale's binding spell. Right now, how could they spare any energy to break the binding spell?
In the blink of an eye, three of the mightiest existences below a Great Legend had launched their attack. The Feather Tribe's Bordeaux was also watching them closely, his gaze traveling up and down Merlin and Alcra rapidly. His speed was the fastest, so if there was an opportunity, he would launch a striking attack.
Currently, it was Bordeaux who was the most terrifying and most threatening.
Alcra had transformed into a large tree once again, and covered Merlin securely. He weaved his thick roots into a ball, and endured the violent attacks from Giant Nestia and Luca.
"Do we have any other way?"
Merlin looked at the violent attack outside. Right now, Alcra could only maintain a defensive stance. Neither of them had any opportunity to counterattack. Merlin's Hallucinating spells had been alerted by Luca and the others, so it was completely impossible to confuse these mightiest existences below a Great Legend.
Alcra shook his head in despair. "I was too greedy. Initially, I thought that as long as I could hold on a little while more, there would be a gamechanger. If I've successfully become an upper rank Tree Folk, then there would be no danger unless a Legend appeared. Now though…"
"What they want is the controlling rights over the dimension. If we voluntarily relinquish, would that be a gamechanger?"
Merlin thought of voluntarily relinquishing the controlling rights of the dimension but Alcra smiled bitterly. "Wizard Merlin, you must've not been in the uncharted territory before, so you don't know of their ruthlessness. Right now, they're determined. No matter if we relinquish the controlling rights or not, we won't be able to escape the fate of being killed by them. With the controlling rights of the dimension, I can at least hold on a little longer. If we lose the controlling rights of the dimension, I'm afraid that we'll collapse in an instant under their siege."
Alcra's words made Merlin engaged deep in thought. Indeed, the situation both were in was truly challenging. There was no way out.
Unless a miracle happened…
"Crash."
There was a violent sway. The siege outside was too berserk. Giant Nestia and Rock Creature Luca's joint attacks had exceeded Alcra's limits. Now, every attack required him to draw from the Dimension Core.

Merlin took a deep breath. He saw that Alcra's support was getting more and more strenuous. Although the Tree Folk particularly excelled at defending, and their defensive powers were astounding, the Giant Tribe and the Rock Tribe excelled at attacking. Hence, under the siege of these two powerful tribes, even Alcra was in a precarious situation.
"Alcra, I might have a way to solve this crisis but I need you to hold on a little longer. The longer you can hold on, the better."
"You have a way?"
Alcra's huge roots formed a large circle. One after another, every root snapped by Nestia and Luca was very grievous to Alcra.
"Yes, I have a way but you must hold on for a long enough time!"
Once Merlin finished speaking, he calmed his heart down. Countless thoughts flashed through his head. He was also taking a risk. He was going to use this time to submerge himself in the entire dimension's memory.
His current Mind Power had reached the critical point between the Eighth-level and the Ninth-level. He was only short by a tiny gap. With some new understanding, he could immediately consolidate the Ninth-level Mind Heart.
Upon successfully consolidating the Ninth-level Mind Heart, Merlin would be able to forcefully mobilize the power of the Illusory World, which was invincible against anyone below a Great Legend!
Of course, that was the best-case scenario. If he failed, then he had no choice by to sacrifice Titus, which was forcing Titus to mobilize the Illusory World. However, that would cause irreparable damage to the Illusory World, and even Titus would completely vanish.
There was a lot of chaos outside, but Merlin maintained a calm composure, and his consciousness soon melded into the dimension's memory.
The entire dimension's memory was incomparably vast and never-ending. Before this, Merlin was far from sensing all of it. In addition, a dimension's memory was not something that anyone could sense.
Merlin felt like he had incarnated into a pair of invisible eyes in the stream time, slowly observing the dimension's horizons. As he watched, his heart felt touched, and there was a trace of anticipation that seemed like it was about to burst out from the depths of his heart.
…
"Bang bang bang."
Time slowly ticked by, the giant Nestia and Luca had been attacking for three days and three nights. Alcra really gave almost his all, and managed to withstand everything!
However, it was apparent to everyone that Alcra was holding up strenuously, and his roots had been damaged. Even his nine Tree Saplings were swaying dangerously like they were about to collapse.
The nine Tree Saplings were Alcra's foundation as he relied on the nine Tree Saplings. Only if they were combined into one, he would have a chance of leveling up to become an upper rank Tree Folk and the most demonic existence among the Tree Tribe.
Right now, however, his nine Tree Saplings were struggling to survive. The emerald glow on his body had long since disappeared, and there was a look of exhaustion. This was the price for toughing it out for three days!
"It has been three days. I can't hold on any longer…"
Alcra smiled bitterly. His humongous body began to tremble violently, and his leaves began to wither and fall…
"Crack."
Finally, the giant Nestia was the first to break through Alcra's defense. His two hands tore viciously, and a large crack appeared on Alcra's defensive ring. Inside, Merlin and Alcra's true forms could be seen.
"Alcra, you can't block this anymore!"
The giant roared, and stepped forward. A fist the size of a mountain smashed down brutally.
"Boom."
The nine Tree Saplings around Alcra collapsed in an instant. They were the foundation for Alcra to level up to become an upper rank Tree Folk but now, they were destroyed. Without any special luck, reconsolidating them would need at least a hundred years.
"Destroyed… You've destroyed my foundation. Haha, die, die, die, let's all die together!"
Alcra lost his mind in an instant. His true form grew even taller, and his roots stretched madly toward the air. He was desperately gathering the last burst of energy!
At this juncture, even the giant Nestia stopped attacking, and took a step back. No one wanted to be injured right as victory was within their grasp. After all, once Alcra was killed, they would have to fight each other for the controlling rights of the dimension.
Finally, Luca sneered. "Since everyone doesn't want to suffer any damage, then let's attack together. We'll kill both Alcra and this Spell Caster!"
"Okay, let's attack together!"
Luca's suggestion was unanimously agreed by the other three. Simultaneously, the four of them attacked. Only one attack was needed because Alcra and Merlin could not withstand it any longer.
"Kill!"
The four beings growled, and wielded their most powerful techniques. The earth-shattering power was enough to cause despair to anyone below a Legend.
Even Alcra, in the midst of his insane screeches, had a look of despair in his eyes…
"Swoosh."
Suddenly, the murderous aura in the air seemed to vanish without a trace, and the siege seemed to stop.
At this moment, the previously unmoving Merlin, opened his eyes.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
