“Bang.”
The Wind-type Ultimate Maxim viciously hit the Progenitor’s Body. Previously, the Progenitor’s Body would be able to easily block Wizard Yaston’s Ultimate Maxim. However, when the Ultimate Maxim viciously hit it now, the Progenitor’s Body began to shake violently, and cracks appeared on its body one after another.
“Ka-cha.”
Finally, the Progenitor’s Body collapsed with a rumble. The sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures were unable to withstand the power of Wizard Yaston’s Ultimate Maxim. Just the violent impact alone had already killed nine Ancestor-level Rock Creatures.
However, it was far from over. Although they lost the Progenitor’s Body, these Rock Creatures were still only comparable to ordinary Legends. Yaston laughed. His Ultimate Maxim surged up his body and swept toward them in a wave.
“Haha, you’re finally defeated. Do you want to escape? All of you will die!”
The violent Wind-type Maxim was like a giant net that descended in an instant, trapping the remaining seven Rock Creatures. Then, the Wind-type Maxim ruthlessly strangled them.
Sixteen Rock Creatures comparable to Great Legends died just like that, all strangled by Wizard Yaston’s Wind-type Maxim. The entire battlefield immediately went silent.
“Retreat, retreat immediately!”
Progenitor Hanra instantly issued the order to retreat. His sharp gaze stared at Merlin. Even though Merlin knew that Wizard Setoh, the Blackfire Lord, and the others were behind protecting him, he could still feel a coldness coming from inside. It was killing intent. The Rock Tribe Progenitor Hanra had already fixed his killing intent on Merlin.
“Haha, sixteen Rock Creatures comparable to Great Legends. This is a great victory. I’ve never felt this happy in a long time. What a feeling of exaltation, haha!”
Seeing the Rock Tribe retreat, Wizard Yaston could not help but laugh. They had defeated a Progenitor’s Body comparable to a Great Legend as well as killed sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. This was something unimaginable ever since the civilization war broke out!
This was an unprecedented victory!
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh.”
Wizard Setoh and the Blackfire Lord flew over. Not only Wizard Setoh but the other three Great Lords – the Arctic Lord, the Nightmare Lord, and the Sorrow Lord also flew over, their eyes staring at Merlin with bewilderment.
With their strength as Lords, they naturally knew what had happened. Merlin played the biggest role, and Yaston had relied on Merlin to make the sixteen Rock Creatures forming the Progenitor’s Body to fall into the illusion before being able to attack the Progenitor’s Body, and deliver the killing blow.
“Wizard Setoh, Wizard Merlin is crucial to us! Who would have thought that Mind Power Masters would have such power? Should we recruit all the relatively powerful Mind Power Masters in Arcane City to the front line?”
The Sorrow Lord said while laughing. The other Great Kings looked at Merlin with fervent eyes. Earlier, when Merlin and Yaston were working together, these Great Kings instantly understood Merlin’s value. He was specialized in restraining the Rock Tribe’s Progenitor’s Bodies.
“Blackfire, you’re the clearest on Mind Power Masters. Do you think the Sorrow Lord’s idea would work?”
Wizard Setoh looked at the Blackfire Lord. He knew that the Blackfire Lord had always been trying to perfect the Mind Power system, and was even a Mind Power Master himself. He was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the Spell Caster civilization’s Mind Power Masters.
The Blackfire Lord looked at Merlin and shook his head. He did not know if Merlin really had a great gift for understanding Mind Power. For Merlin to reach the point of being able to confuse ordinary Legends was very shocking to him.
However, besides Merlin, the other Mind Power Masters in the Spell Caster civilization were far inferior. Most of them relied on their own experiences to be enlightened, and their understanding of the Mind Power system was also varied and unique.
Thus, it was basically impossible to find a Mind Power Master stronger or close to Merlin. They would not be of any help in the civilization war at the front line.
“Wizard Setoh, Merlin’s Mind Power has already reached a very advanced point. Even I can’t compare with him. As for other Mind Power Masters, I’ve never seen anyone equivalent to Merlin. Therefore, it really wouldn’t be much use to call those Mind Power Masters to come to the front line. After all, even Ancestor-level Rock Creatures are comparable to Great Legends. For an ordinary Mind Power Master to be able to go against a Great Wizard would already be extremely powerful, much less a Great Legend.”
The Blackfire Lord said truthfully.
“What a shame!”
The other Great Lords said helplessly, their faces full of regret.
Wizard Setoh waved his hand. “Don’t be discouraged. Although only Merlin can affect those Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, that’s more than enough!! I believe that Progenitor Hanra won’t be willing to give up. He’ll definitely want to test it again. We can take that opportunity to severely weaken the Rock Tribe’s strength. At that time, we’ll naturally hold the upper hand, and completely drive the Rock Tribe back to their nest!”
Turning the situation around with the power of a single Wizard. However, that Wizard was not Wizard Setoh but Merlin!
Perhaps Merlin’s power was not strong. He alone could not defeat a Progenitor’s Body that was comparable to an Honored Legend. However, with other Great Legends cooperating with him, Merlin’s role would be exponentially multiplied.
A civilization war had changed because of one Wizard before. Some extremely powerful Lords had appeared in severe civilization battles, and those Lords were almost invincible among those below ultimate existences. Even ultimate existences had to have life-saving methods.
Therefore, against these tyrannical Lords, any civilization war was futile. It could only be kept in check if ultimate existences also joined the war.
However, Lords like that had not been born in the Spell Caster civilization nor the Rock Tribe yet. Otherwise, with a tyrannical Lord like that, the Rock Tribe would not even dare to start a war.
“We’ll go back and have a discussion. This is the first time Merlin worked together with Yaston, so there are still many shortcomings. Hanra might think of some countermeasures.”
Wizard Setoh did not issue an order to continue the pursuit. It was still far from the time for a decisive battle with the Rock Tribe.
Thus, the Spell Casters also started to retreat. Leaving behind only a small number of Wizards at the front line, the others all flew back toward Setoh Castle.
…
In the Rock Tribe dimension, all the retreating Rock Creatures were hanging their heads dispiritedly. Today, sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures died at once. It was simply too heavy a blow to the Rock Tribe.
Ever since the civilization war erupted, only a dozen or so Ancestor-level Rock Creatures had died. However, now, sixteen had died at one go. This had also let the Rock Creatures deeply realize the cruelty of the civilization war.
Unlike the Spell Casters, it was very hard for Rock Creatures to become Ancestor-level. It required thousands or even tens of thousands of years to achieve. The Rock Creatures had a long life and were a non-living civilization. In order to become powerful, besides some hard-to-come-by talents, they could only rely on time to slowly accumulate.
Therefore, Ancestor-level Rock Creatures had already been few and far in between. A civilization war breaking out was also something Progenitor Hanra did not want to see. However, since it had already happened, he could only try his best to win.
Originally, everything was developing well. The Rock Tribe was like an irresistible force as it suppressed the Spell Casters. As long as the Spell Casters continued to retreat, they would be able to occupy countless Spell Caster dimensions and even open up a passage. In the future, the Rock Tribe could achieve rapid development.
However, just when their situation was great, they had suddenly lost sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures. Even Progenitor Hanra could not afford such a heavy blow, and could only temporarily retreat.
“Everyone, you’ve all seen what happened earlier. How can a Spell Caster that hasn’t even reached Legend defeat a Progenitor’s Body comparable to an Ancestor-level?”
Progenitor Hanra’s expression sank as a terrifying aura wrapped around his body. Even those Ancestor-level Rock Creatures were trembling with fear, appearing very timid.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Progenitor Hanra said coldly, “Niske, speak. You’ve personally killed a few Spell Casters before. You should know best.”
Niske immediately stood up, and looked at the numerous Rock Creatures with a complicated look, and said slowly, “Sir Progenitor, that Spell Caster is called Merlin. He’s part of a special group of Spell Casters known as Mind Power Masters! The most important thing about these Mind Power Masters is that they’re able to create illusions. The illusions Merlin created seemed to be able to plunge some lower-rank Rock Creatures into the illusion. This led to the sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures unable to maintain the Progenitor’s Body, and thus was defeated by an Honored Legend from the Spell Casters.”
“In other words, our Rock Tribe is destined to lose? If they send out large amounts of Mine Power Masters and work with powerful Spell Casters, what use is our Rock Tribe’s Progenitor’s Body? Our strong forces are scarce, and we have far less than the Spell Casters. If we even lose the advantage of our Progenitor’s Bodies, how can we continue this civilization war?”
Another Rock Creatures instantly stood up, and said angrily.
The entire hall grew solemn. The Rock Tribe was still confident that by relying on the Progenitor’s Body, they would be able to suppress the Spell Casters. However, now that they heard that Mind Power Masters could restrict the Progenitor’s Body, the Rock Creatures no longer had the advantage of the Progenitor’s Body. Even if they added together all their Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, their numbers would never surpass the Spell Casters. There no longer seemed any need to continue this civilization war.
“Sir Progenitor, it’s not that serious. According to my understanding of the Spell Caster civilization, their Mind Power Masters are very scarce, and there are even less who are able to make Ancestor-level Rock Creatures fall into an illusion like Merlin can. I’ve only seen Merlin able to do something like that. Therefore, it’s very possible that in the Spell Caster civilization, Merlin’s the only one who’s extremely special. As long as we think of a way to kill Merlin at any costs, our Progenitor’s Body will still maintain an advantage over the Spell Casters!”
Niske’s voice dropped, and Progenitor Hanra’s eyes also became sharper.
