《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret
Advertisement
Although Merlin's Illusory World had not been turned from illusion to reality, its power was very dense and concentrated. Moreover, its natural order was incomparably perfect, so no power could demolish it.
The origin of the natural order, which only had a meager fifty percent power, was able to pulverize Merlin's Illusory World. Yet, it could not destroy Merlin's power of the natural order.
Therefore, ever since the beginning of this final battle, Merlin was on an unshakeable ground. This was also the reason why Merlin dared to enter the gateway of the natural order for a second time. He was not without confidence.
Following the successive successes of Merlin's natural order, the origin of the natural order descended into chaos. Then, the willpower which was unique to the Void Zone would awaken.
Once this willpower was awakened, it would recognize danger. Consequently, the Void Zone would unleash every ounce of power at all costs.
Although Merlin was confident that his natural order would not be defeated, if he was forced to face the entire power of the Void Zone and the Illusory World ended up ruining the Void Zone, such an outcome was useless. What Merlin sought was a transformation!
Now, the Illusory World had been perfected by Merlin. Therefore, only by transforming, he could advance another step and turn the Illusory World from illusion to reality. This was Merlin's true purpose.
Anything besides that, even if the Void Zone was crushed beyond recovery, Merlin would not stand to gain any benefit. Thus, after gaining the winning edge, Merlin did not exert too much pressure on the origin of the natural order. Instead, he focused on honing his natural order, hoping of obtaining a flash of inspiration that would help him turn the Illusory World from illusion to reality.
However, Merlin did not know was that once the willpower of the entire Void Zone was awakened, everything would be changed. Only in the most extreme danger would this willpower be awakened. Moreover, upon awakening, the origin of the natural order would recoup all its power.

The easiest and most effective method to recoup power back to the origin of the natural order was to destroy the entire Void Zone. Therefore, the Void Zone fell into pandemonium. Territories were annihilated in succession.
Before this, the Void Zone merely destroyed a small portion but overall, still maintained its balance. Now, however, the entire Void Zone had completely abandoned all restraints and self-destructed. The power of the natural order, too, gradually became stronger. By now, it had reached sixty, seventy, and even eighty percent of the power of the Void Zone!
Eighty percent of power also signified that the entire Void Zone was on the verge of collapsing. It would take an unfathomable period for it to recover.
Furthermore, the extent of the damage would soon reach Merlin. How could Merlin allow the Spell Caster civilization to be destroyed? Hence, Merlin wielded the remaining Illusory World to cover almost the entire Spell Caster civilization, then allowed the Void Zone to self-destruct.
"Boom boom boom."
As the Void Zone self-destructed, the power of the origin of the natural order continued to strengthen. Merlin was no longer holding the upper hand but strangely, the origin of the natural order was no longer attacking Merlin frantically. On the contrary, it was gathering its power. The huge black vortex had disappeared completely, and was now replaced by a sphere entirely condensed out of the power of the natural order.
Merlin could sense that the power continuously condensed inside this natural order sphere gave him a sense of intimidation.
"Chi."
Suddenly, Merlin felt his body slacken. The feeling of restraint disappeared like he was completely set free.
At the same time, Merlin was filled with a sense of uneasiness as if every force around him was his enemy.
"The threads of the natural order have disappeared?"
Merlin took a closer look, and realized that the threads of the natural order that he dreamt so long of disconnecting were finally snapped! This was Merlin's only connection with the Void Zone, and now, it was finally broken!

However, when this connection was broken, the outcome was not as Merlin had imagined. The Illusory World was not turned from illusion to reality. The Illusory World did not change but instead, Merlin felt himself facing an overwhelming sense of rejection. No matter where he went, at least within the range of the Void Zone, there was that overwhelming sense of rejection.
Now, the sense of rejection was tens or hundreds of times stronger than before. This was because a world would not allow a completely unconnected life form to exist.
Perhaps, only a Latitude traveler like Aruba could easily enter different Latitude Cosmos, and not be rejected.
Or perhaps, they were still rejected but were simply able to withstand this power of rejection. However, Merlin was not yet a Latitude traveler like Aruba. Therefore, once the rejection intensity from the Void Zone increased a hundred-fold, Merlin immediately felt immense pressure.
As the rejection intensity continued to increase, Merlin felt slightly strange.
"No, the origin of the natural order isn't trying to destroy me…"
Merlin realized that the origin of the natural order was no longer trying to destroy him. Perhaps, as a result of the awakening of the willpower of the Void Zone, the origin of the natural order realized that there was no way to destroy Merlin. Thus, it abandoned the notion of destroying him.
Other than utter destruction, the most direct method for a Latitude Cosmos to deal with a completely unconnected life form was to send it away!
"Boom."
The Void Zone shook again. The power of the origin of the natural order was increased to ninety percent! This achievement meant that the Void Zone had failed and collapsed. This was a Latitude Cosmos that was severely damaged and probably at its weakest.
However, the origin of the natural order that Merlin was about to face was unprecedentedly powerful. The reason the Void Zone was in such a sorry state and self-destructed most of its dimensions was to gain a powerful force against Merlin.
Following the ceaseless vibration in the origin of the natural order, finally, a light ray appeared. When this light ray appeared, Merlin was struck with a realization.
This did not seem like the light ray from Void Zone!
"Hum."
The huge natural order sphere condensed by the origin of the natural order erupted with unprecedented power. Like a large net, it captured Merlin.
"Swish."
Under ninety percent of the power of the Void Zone, which was also the furthest limit that the Void Zone could wield, all Merlin could do was keep his natural order intact. It was ultimately impossible to defeat this force.
Once Merlin's body had been encapsulated by this frightening burst of power of the origin of the natural order, in the blink of an eye, it flung Merlin toward the tiny light dot which appeared in the origin of the natural order.
This small light dot seemed to be separated by endless time and space. Even Merlin's consciousness felt warped and turned chaotic as he gradually lost consciousness.
The last coherent thought in Merlin's mind was, where was the Void Zone sending him?

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region
