《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret
Advertisement
Merlin's Mind Storm was merely the crudest usage of Mind Power but appeared to have an unprecedented effect on these Grudge Sprites. Wherever they touched where Merlin's Mind Storm had reached, the Grudge Sprites gave out shrill screams and looked completely terrified.
Splat! Splat!
Scores of Grudge Sprites were crushed by Merlin's Mind Storm. The exterior of the tower finally quietened. Although they were still unable to overcome the purple region, at least the danger had ceased temporarily.
Maya sobered. He gave Merlin a measuring look and said softly, "It's fortunate that you have the Mind Storm. Otherwise, we would've been in trouble."
Although Maya was also an existence comparable to an Honored Legend, he was helpless against these Grudge Sprites. If not for Merlin, he would indeed have been in trouble.
Merlin's expression was solemn. His abilities had undergone a substantive increment. He was only close to the level of an Honored Legend before and was not an Honored Legend yet.
Now, Merlin no longer feared an Honored Legend without using the empire-level warship. In the Spell Caster civilization, an Honored Legend was a highly respected individual that stood at the top of the civilization. After all, he was only a bit weaker than the few Lords and the three great Arcane Wizards.
"Let's go. This purple dimension is truly extraordinary. The Grudge Sprites that were left behind were so powerful. There might be some unexpected loot to be found inside."
Merlin did not let down his guard for a single moment. Although his Mind Storm was coincidentally able to defeat the Grudge Sprites, he still dared not regard this place lightly. After all, even ordinary Legends could not defeat the Grudge Sprites. It might seem easy for Merlin's Mind Storm to sweep these Grudge Sprites away, but that was only because Merlin was one of the most powerful Mind Power Masters in the Spell Caster civilization.
He was also the only Mind Power Master who had broken through the bottleneck of a 'Legend.' An ordinary Mind Power Master who did not achieve the 'Hallucinating spell' realm founded by Titus would not have been able to defeat these Grudge Sprites.
Now that Maya and Merlin had already sworn an oath on the Ultimate Order and would be joining forces inside the purple dimension, he said to Merlin cautiously, "This tower is a bit bizarre. I'm sure these Grudge Sprites are not the only danger here. Be careful."
Merlin smiled and appeared quite relaxed. He still had the Soul Medallion that would be able to revive him twice, so he had nothing to worry about. However, the Soul Medallion was incredibly precious. Merlin even hoped that he would never need to use it again.
No matter what, this purple dimension was indeed peculiar and most probably contained unimaginable benefits. Therefore, he still wanted to try his luck regardless of the danger involved.
At present, Merlin had achieved the level of an Honored Legend, but this was not the end of his journey. In fact, this was merely the beginning of Merlin's journey, but he had gotten himself into trouble just now.

Every Honored Legend had to spend countless years to consolidate more ultimate Maxims slowly until they could become a Great Lord. Currently, the only other ultimate Maxims that Merlin could possibly hope to consolidate was from the Fire-type spells. His understanding of other types of spells was quite insufficient. It would be difficult for him to consolidate a Maxim, let alone an ultimate Maxim.
Therefore, Merlin would not give up any opportunity that could potentially help him enhance his abilities. The prospect for Merlin to upgrade himself right now was unimaginably remote, just like Maya. Despite being the strongest contender among the Golden Light Tribe, Maya had not advanced a single step after a few thousand years.
There were so many Spell Casters in the Spell Caster civilization, yet how many people could become an Honored Legend in the end?
Among the Honored Legends, how many people could condense more than two ultimate Maxims and become a Great Lord?
Merlin was well-aware how tough the journey ahead of him would be. While his ultimate Maxim was slightly superior, the difference was not very pronounced, and definitely not so far superior as to give him an overpowering advantage. Therefore, the present Merlin, besides some special abilities in terms of Mind Power, was merely an ordinary Honored Legend. He was no more powerful than Maya.
Both of them erred on the side of caution as they slowly stepped into this tower. There seemed to be nothing special about this place, and the Grudge Sprites had all disappeared.
Merlin's Mind Power seemed to have encountered a blockade in this place, so he could not investigate the rest of the tower. All he could do was to maintain it within a small area around him.
"Merlin, look at the wall!" Maya suddenly shouted.
Merlin followed Maya's gaze and looked at the walls surrounding them. On the pristine white walls were several murals, just like the religious murals he saw back in the church in Blackwater City.
However, the murals here appeared to be slightly odd. There was a huge purple monster that seemed to be fighting a mightier existence.
All the surrounding walls contained the same odd murals. The style of these murals did not belong to the Spell Caster civilization or any mural drawings that Merlin knew of.
"Maya, do you recognize the style of these murals? Which foreign tribe is it similar to?"
Merlin had only been in the Spell Caster civilization for a short time, but Maya had existed for a long time. He had been leading the Golden Light Tribe for time immaterial, so he must have seen many foreign tribe civilizations.
Nevertheless, Maya also shook his head. "I've never seen the style of these murals before. Surely it belongs to some of the very ancient foreign tribe civilizations?"
Maya also did not know. After all, the Void Zone was simply too vast. Even the ultimate existences dared not claim that they could travel to the ends of the Void Zone, let alone Maya.

Moreover, the Void Zone had a very long history. Countless powerful civilizations had risen and fell for various reasons, and some of them were slowly disappearing. The more ancient tribes like the Tree Tribe and the Giant Tribe had come into existence only a few trillion years ago.
Nonetheless, a few trillion years meant nothing in the Void Zone. Its history spanned over a gazillion years. No one knew how many powerful civilizations had come into being since then.
Perhaps, the God Alliance would know something. The most ancient civilization in the Void Zone now was, of course, the God Alliance. This was assuming that the gods could be classified as a civilization, then they would certainly be the oldest and most ancient.
The reason was that the gods were born together with the Void Zone. According to Aruba, the gods were the product of natural order in the Void Zone. Wherever natural order persisted in the Void Zone, there must be gods.
The gods were scattered though. There was no God Alliance in the past. The God Alliance formed by the eight largest god organizations might have a tremendous force, but it was a very unstable and considered a loose type of alliance.
Although it was a loose alliance, the gods in the God Alliance guarded the secrets of ancient times strictly. So far, nothing had been leaked.
Nevertheless, no matter how many secrets they held, it was an undeniable fact that the gods were beginning to weaken. Many of the civilizations had risen up and occupied the living spaces of the gods.
If one day, every dimension in the Void Zone were populated with various civilizations, that would be the end of the gods.
Perhaps, this was the fundamental reason that the usually scattered gods came together to form the alliance. They had already foreseen the risk.
Both Merlin and Maya did not know which civilization the murals belonged to, but they were about to find out. The next moment, a purple-skinned monster with three heads and six arms emerged from behind the door on the ground floor.
This purple-skinned monster did not contain any living aura, so it was obviously a puppet. Merlin had seen many weird-shaped puppets, so he was not too surprised.
This purple monster came before Merlin and Maya. His gaze swept across the two of them, and his expression changed. A firm voice spoke, "Both of you are trespassers and not from the Purple Tribe! Get out of here. This is the Purple Tribe's place of inheritance. Master has ordered that whoever not from the Purple Tribe must be rid."
"The Purple Tribe's place of inheritance?"
Maya and Merlin looked at one another. This name was very unfamiliar. They had never heard of a Purple Tribe. Perhaps, this was a very ancient civilization.
What about now?
The immense Void Zone had many powerful civilizations, yet they had never heard of such a strange civilization as the Purple Tribe.
"You're a puppet from the Purple Tribe? We just came here by chance. Do you mean that anyone not from the Purple Tribe cannot enter this tower?" Merlin asked softly, though he already knew the answer.
A civilization's place of inheritance, of course, would not permit outsiders to enter. This was left behind for the Purple Tribe's descendants.
However, the reason Merlin asked was to learn more about the Purple Tribe and this tower.
Ultimately, a puppet was just a puppet. Although the master of this dimension might have been powerful, he was not on par with Aruba. Hence, he could not have given life or any modicum of intelligence to the puppet.
Thus, this purple monster immediately began to explain. "Of course not. Back then, the great master destroyed the enemy after the Great War, but he was also gravely injured. Despite master's powers, he would not be able to recover. Therefore, right before his death, master turned his body into this dimension. With his dying breath, he left behind an important inheritance for the Purple Tribe, but this inheritance can only be received by someone with the blood of the Purple Tribe. We are left behind by master to guard the place of inheritance."
Merlin was enthused. He continued to ask after exchanging a look with Maya, "If someone from the Purple Tribe came, how would he receive the inheritance?"
"For a Purple Creature, he would have to attempt three challenges in order to receive the inheritance that was left behind by Master. You would not be able to comprehend the extent of Master's power. Back then, he was the strongest contender of the Purple Tribe and a great ultimate existence. Therefore, even the inheritance left on his deathbed must only be received by the most promising descendant. If you're not from the Purple Tribe, leave now. If you continue to trespass, we won't hold back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the purple monster puppet got ready to drive Merlin and Maya away.
"An inheritance left behind by an ultimate existence on his deathbed?"
This sentence echoed in Merlin and Maya's ears. This was none other than an ultimate existence, and one who had died.
Such an opportunity was completely unbelievable and inconceivable. After all, the ultimate existences had integrated into the natural order and were notoriously difficult to kill. In fact, they had never heard that an ultimate existence could die before.
Right now, they had just learned that the purple dimension was transfigured from the body of the ultimate existence of the Purple Tribe. That said existence had also left behind an inheritance on his deathbed. The only problem was that no one from the Purple Tribe had ever come to retrieve it after such a long time.
Both of them had their eyes trained on the purple monster puppet, evaluating it. The thought of breaking into this tower by force entered their minds.

I'm Sure It'll be Fine! ...right?
We live to die, and die to live again. This Cycle continues, neither to Begin nor End. Ever Beginning, never to End, we come to the story of our Unusual Friend. The Gods are as varied and unique as the mortals that worship them. Some are kind, others are fluffy, and (given the nature of the multiverse) a few are Eldrich Abominations of Unspeakable Horror. But that's fine, those few tend to mind their own business... At least until an Eldrich Abomination (an interdimensional cosmic slime-mold specifically) gets itself devoured by a Lich during a ritual to obtain Godhood... Especially because anyone, even a Lich, who's willing to eat an ENTIRE COSMIC SLIME-MOLD for any reason, even godhood, is undoubtedly a madman...who's now set his unsightly gaze upon replacing (likely by devouring) the Godess of Magic herself! She could probably use some help...if only to avoid touching the slimy Lichgod directly. Also, the Eldrich Gods are protesting these events in their usual manner...by trying to destroy all of Creation.
