"Hm?"

His Majesty the King also seemed to feel something, and his eyes looked at Setoh fiercely. At this time, the dark force on Setoh's body grew more intense but he did not move yet.

The one who moved was Merlin!

"Bang."

With a wave of his hand, Merlin whipped the ferocious fire beast away, turning it into little flames. It seemed that this fire beast was completely made of flames. It was indeed a strange being.

However, Merlin's Maxim Chain was an ultimate Maxim. That fire beast naturally did not stand a chance.

After easily killing the fire beast, Merlin's gaze turned to the King. Setoh and his target was not the fire beast but the strong King here.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. We have some things we would like to ask you!"

Merlin sailed with a smile but his formless Mind Power had already instantly enveloped the King.

The King had noticed something was wrong, and his body immediately burned with flames, rushing out wildly just like a fire god-demon. The terrifying inferno seemed to burn down the entire hall.

"Who are you? Are you spies from the Flame Nation?"

The terrifying fire god-demon let out a loud roar, attacking Merlin and Setoh's minds. However, Merlin was someone who could control minds, and Setoh was the avatar of an ultimate existence. How would they be afraid of a king?

Merlin did not answer, and instead approached the King step by step. At the side, Flarong seemed to have noticed something wrong as well. He immediately stepped forward, and the fire marking on his forehead released a terrifying force comparable to a Legend with at least two Maxims.

"What are you trying to do?"

Merlin smiled and said, "Thank you for bringing us here to His Majesty the King, Flarong. We only have some things we want the King to answer."

"Impudent! You…"

Before Flarong finished speaking, Merlin waved his hand lightly, and the expression on his face cooled down. He had instantly used Mind Power to control Flarong.

Flarong's eyes became dull as he obediently retreated.

Besides Flarong, the others around the King had also become dazed and gently backed off as if opening up a path for Merlin. Setoh stood outside the gate, keeping an eye out.

"Who the hell are you?"

At this moment, the King also seemed to realize that these two were unusual. The terrifying fire god-demon had also stopped roaring.

"What a strange power. It's not a Maxim. Just by relying on the power of pure flames, it's already comparable to an Honored Legend…"

Merlin looked at the fire god-demon cast by the King. That vast and mighty force could indeed tear apart an Honored Legend's ultimate Maxim. It was comparable to an Honored Legend.

This was the unique power system produced in this world. It was completely different from the Spell Caster system. It would be impossible to understand its foundation in a short time.

However, Merlin did not want to understand its foundation. He wanted to know everything about this world. He was sure that the King in front of him knew better than anyone else.

"Mind Control!"

Merlin gathered his Mind Power. After all, for beings comparable to Honored Legends, he had to concentrate his Mind Power.

Soon, the huge Mind Power enveloped the King. Although he struggled, he still could not resist Merlin's Mind Control. Very quickly, his eyes also became dull.

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. "I've finally controlled him. Setoh, will the three other contenders comparable to Honored Legends hidden in the city rush over?"

"They're already rushing over but I'll stop them!"

Wizard Setoh directly flew out of the hall toward the sky. The Darkness Maxim on his body swiftly turned into a net as dark as ink, and covered the sky above the entire city.

Merlin glanced over but did not care about Wizard Setoh's methods. A few beings comparable to Honored Legend would be no threat to Wizard Setoh.

Merlin stared at the King in front of him and asked, "In the Flare Nation, is there anyone who is stronger than you?"

The King was already under Merlin's control, so he naturally had to answer every question. He immediately said, "In the Flame Nation, I'm the most powerful. In addition, there are three elders who are almost as powerful as I am. They're the foundation of my Flare Nation, and will not be dispatched easily."

Merlin nodded. He had already found the three hidden contenders in the Flare Nation. However, it seemed that there were only four beings comparable to Honored Legends in the entire Flare Nation, just like he guessed.

Therefore, Merlin sighed in relief. There was no one stronger than an Honored Legend here. This civilization was truly strange. Although the world was large, its population was not large. However, it still managed to produce many beings comparable to Honored Legends.

Merlin continued to ask, "Have you ever left this world?"

What Merlin wanted to know most now was how to leave this world and return to the Void Zone. After all, they still had to go to the Giant Tribe. Every second they delayed was detrimental to the Spell Caster civilization.

"This world? I've seen from the royal family's ancient records that this world has always been ruled by our Flare Nation. This world is called the Flare Region world! The Flare Region world was created by a supreme being. We have lived in this world for generations. There were once contenders who wished to leave but they did not gain anything. However, above our Flare and Flame countries is a sacred land. They're high above us, and they even have beings more powerful than us. There's nothing they can't do. Perhaps they can help you leave the Flare Region world."

"Stronger than all of you?"

Merlin was shocked. He was a little wary of the "sacred land" mentioned by the King. After all, the King was already comparable to an Honored Legend. If it was stronger than the King, then that would be comparable to a Lord.

"Are there Lords in a world like this?"

Merlin was very suspicious. However, he was also on guard, and felt slightly troubled. If it were just the Flare Nation, and they were only going up against Honored Legends, then there would be nothing to worry about.

However, if there was a Lord, then it would pose great trouble for the current Merlin and Setoh.

However, to leave the Flare Region world, they had to find the sacred land.

"Do you know where the sacred land is?"

Merlin continued to ask.

"The sacred land is too mysterious. They only appear when something major happens in the Flare Region world. I've not seen anyone from the sacred land for many years…"

Merlin asked the King many more questions but they all seemed to have something to do with the mysterious sacred land...

The entire Flare Region world was secretly controlled by the sacred land. The Flare Nation used to be one but was subsequently split into the Flare Nation and the Flame Nation. Major events such as these all had something to do with the sacred land.

No one knew how many there were in the sacred land, and no one knew what they were doing because no one knew why they existed. However, there was one thing for sure – contenders of the sacred land were extremely terrifying, and were far more powerful than the Flare and Flame Nations.

"Boom."

The entire Flare Nation suddenly shook, and the hall swayed violently. Merlin's Mind Power swept across and saw three figures with golden fire markings on their foreheads with terrifying forces surrounding their bodies. The flames on their bodies seemed to form multiple fire god-demons.

These were the three beings comparable to Honored Legends but against Wizard Setoh, they did not stand a chance. They were completely suppressed by Wizard Setoh's ultimate Maxim and could only appear shriveled.

That was also because Setoh was learning about their power. Otherwise, as an avatar of an Ultimate Arcane Wizard, Wizard Setoh would have already taken care of those three.

Merlin suddenly looked up at the sky and murmured, "I wonder if this would be considered a major event."

He recalled what the King had said earlier about how the sacred land would only get involved if something major happened in the Flare Region world. Now, the entire Flare Nation was sealed off, and four beings comparable to Honored Legends had been defeated. Perhaps even the sacred land would be stirred by these large movements.
