《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret
Advertisement
In the immense Illusory World, Merlin was carefully gauging the expansion of the Illusory World. Using his previous life as a blueprint, Merlin's Illusory World was gradually resembling the universe in his past.
The universe and the Void Zone were two completely different concepts because their preliminary natural orders were different. Therefore, if these two worlds met, there would be a clash.
However, at present, the Illusory World was still purely Mind Power. As long as he did not initiate any contact with the power of the natural order or tried to challenge it, the Illusory World was safe.
The Illusory World was still expanding. His past life's universe was also limitless. Compared to that, Merlin's Illusory World was still a long way behind.
However, Merlin was considering an intricate question. When would the Illusory World become truly perfect? If the Illusory World continued to expand forever and ever, then how would he achieve success?
Previously, Merlin thought that once the Illusory World had expanded to a certain size, perhaps comparable to the Void Zone, then it would naturally be successful. However, it was not as simple as it seemed.
A perfect Illusory World was something that neither Titus nor Merlin had ever encountered. So, every accomplishment had to rely upon Merlin's own experiment.
"One month and one day. The Great Light Honorable Lord hasn't shown up. So, someone must die today!"
Merlin opened his eyes. He had been in the Great Light Dimension for a month and a day. According to his declaration, he would kill one person each extra day.
"Swoosh."
Merlin gazed at the Light Guardians. Five Light Guardians remained. Upon seeing the look on Merlin's face, their faces shifted drastically.
"One month and one day. The Great Light Honorable Lord hasn't returned. Therefore, I'll kill one person!"
Merlin's gaze was filled with ruthlessness. With that, he straightened himself, and looked toward a blue-robed Guardian.
When the blue-robed Guardian saw Merlin's gaze directed at him, the power of the natural order surged out rapidly and formed an armor around his body. He yelled, "Let's attack together. The Great Light Honorable Lord will return soon. Surely, he'll kill Merlin!"
Nonetheless, the blue-robed Guardian's words were not quite effective. It did not attract many responses. On the contrary, they withdrew a distance away from the blue-robed Guardian, and watched the development of events.
Although Merlin had demonstrated powerful strength before this, many of them were uncertain how much stronger he was compared to a second-grade ultimate existence. Thus, this was a perfect observation opportunity.
If Merlin's ability was unable to suppress a second-grade, then most probably the four Light Guardians and thirty Light Envoys would attack simultaneously.

"You won't last till the Great Light Honorable Lord returns! Even he if returns, you'll die!"
Merlin's gaze was filled with ruthlessness. The invisible gravitational field instantly wrapped around the blue-robed Guardian.
"Gravitational field? This is the Vestigial Tribe's gravitational field. You want to bind me with this? Impossible!"
The blue-robed Guardian roared. The next moment, the power of the natural order burst out from his body like blazing flames and began to burn. He was then able to break free of Merlin's gravitational field.
Merlin was not surprised. He could only wield a small portion of the Golden Ray Armor's strength, so the gravitational field only had a negligible effect on a second-grade ultimate existence. It was impossible to bind him.
Whereas if he had activated the full power of the Golden Ray Armor, just the gravitational field alone could kill a second-grade ultimate existence. After all, it was the Vestigial Tribe's ultimate weapon!
Although the gravitational force field did not manage to subdue his opponent, Merlin attacked directly. With a step forward, his figure seemed to disappear suddenly.
This was not traversing space but instead, extreme speed. His speed was too fast for a second-grade ultimate existence to capture his trajectory.
Merlin's Golden Ray Armor detonated its strongest ability. Waves of petrifying fluctuations began to roll off Merlin's body.
"Annihilation function!"
To defeat a second-grade ultimate existence, he had to wield the annihilation function. It could kill a second-grade ultimate existence without any resistance.
The annihilation function usually appeared in circular ripples but Merlin had controlled it to only head in one direction, which was toward the blue-robed Guardian. Hence, the annihilation function only turned the blue-robed Guardian into ashes.
This time, Merlin did not save his opponent's ring. Under the annihilation function, everything was annihilated. No force could withstand it.
Silence. The entire Great Light Dimension was silent. Even the Light Guardians and Light Envoys who were initially worked up, fell silent.
There was not even a fierce battle before their eyes. All they felt was a gust of spine-tingling power, then a Light Guardian who was a second-grade ultimate existence, was quietly reduced to ashes.
Only someone who possessed superior power could achieve such an effect! Any power that was superior to a second-grade ultimate existence must belong to a third-grade ultimate existence, which meant that he was equivalent to the Great Light Honorable Lord.
"Everyone, don't act rashly. Merlin's ability is comparable to the Great Light Honorable Lord!"
At this point, no one dared to act rashly any longer. If Merlin had possessed powers equivalent to a third-grade ultimate existence like the Great Light Honorable Lord, then their numbers were meaningless. This was a contender who stood at the pinnacle of the Void Zone. They could only wait until the Great Light Honorable Lord returned, then see whether the Great Light Honorable Lord or this mysterious Merlin was more powerful.

"That's third-grade level power! However, in the past, the Great Light Honorable Lord has killed a similar third-grade contender. Although this Merlin is powerful, he probably isn't a worthy opponent compared to the Great Light Honorable Lord."
"Whether or not he's a worthy opponent for the Great Light Honorable Lord is none of our business. This is a fight between third-grade ultimate existences. For now, we can only wait quietly. It's just that, tomorrow, Merlin will kill another person. I wonder whose turn will be next?"
Now, everyone knew that Merlin at least possessed powers comparable to a third-grade ultimate existence. No one doubted Merlin's words anymore. As long as the Great Light Honorable Lord had exceeded the time frame given to him, Merlin would kill another person.
Now was already one day late, and a Light Guardian was dead. If the Great Light Honorable Lord did not arrive by tomorrow, the next victim would be one of the four remaining Light Guardians.
Therefore, these four Light Guardians were very anxious.
The next day, the Great Light Honorable Lord still did not return. Therefore, Merlin continued his carnage and killed another Light Guardian. This was also a second-grade ultimate existence but he failed to put up a single ounce of resistance before Merlin.
On the third day, another Light Guardian was killed. In the blink of an eye, out of the five Light Guardians left in the Great Light Dimension, only two were left.
In the icy dark Void Zone, eighteen streams of light were flying at incredible speed. However, the Aurora ships encapsulated in these streams of light were filled with tension.
"The third Light Guardian is dead. Sir Honorable Lord, if we don't arrive soon, I'm afraid even the Great Light Dimension wouldn't be able to hold on…"
In the Aurora warships, utilizing some special means, the Great Light Honorable Lord had already learned of the events which had transpired in the Great Light Dimension. Merlin had fulfilled his promise. For every day of delay, he would kill one Light Guardian.
Once all the Light Guardians were killed, he would kill the Light Envoys. If the Great Light Honorable Lord had not returned by the time all the Light Envoys were killed, Merlin was going to destroy the entire Great Light Region.
Regarding this threat, the Great Light Honorable Lord did not doubt Merlin. He now knew that Merlin was at least comparable to his level, which was a third-grade ultimate existence. Hence, destroying the Great Light Region was as easy as crushing an ant.
Therefore, the Great Light Honorable Lord also calmed down completely. Any opponent in the form of a third-grade ultimate existence was not easy to handle Although he had once killed another third-grade ultimate existence, he had to pay a great price to kill him.
"He's a third-grade ultimate existence… However, so what? He dares to challenge the Great Light Region so he must die!"
The Great Light Honorable Lord's eyes flashed coldly. At this moment, he was no longer in a hurry. Even if all the Light Guardians were dead and the Great Light Region was destroyed, as long as he could kill Merlin, the Great Light Region could be rebuilt!
…
A few more days passed by. However, to those living in the Great Light Dimension, these were days that they would not forget for the rest of their lives as they filled with horrifying scenes of bloodshed.
All five Light Guardians were dead. The final Light Guardian even managed to rally a dozen Light Envoys to attack jointly but the outcome was still the same. All of them were killed.
Now, the Great Light Dimension only had a dozen Light Envoys left remaining. All of them had completely lost the will to fight.
Merlin was unmoved. Without employing such a method, he would not be able to aggravate the Great Light Honorable Lord. Then, the Spell Caster civilization would be in danger. Therefore, Merlin continued to wait for the Great Light Honorable Lord. He knew that his opponent would appear!
"It has been another day…"
Merlin opened his eyes. Just as his gravitational field had imprisoned a Light Envoy and was about to kill him, eighteen light streams appeared in the Void Zone not far from the Great Light Dimension.
"Finally here?"
Merlin's mouth quirked into a delighted smile.
"The Great Light Honorable Lord has arrived. We're saved."
Seeing the eighteen streams of light, hope began to rise in the eyes of the remaining Light Envoys.
Merlin's figure gradually flew out of the Great Light Dimension and stood in the Void Zone. Quietly, he watched one of the light streams. He could sense that in that particular light stream, there was a terrifying power that caused even him to feel threatened!
"Swish."
The Great Light Honorable Lord wore long robes as white as snow, and his entire body was encapsulated in a layer of white light. Added with Merlin's golden radiance, the resulting illumination formed a breathtaking scene.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
