Chapter 767: The Slothful Beast and the Sea of Fire!
Merlin and the black-robed Wizard Setoh flew without using casting tools. Near the God Alliance, it was easy to be detected when using casting tools.
However, this speed was too slow.
“Wizard Setoh, why don’t we enter the Atlan civilization warship? We’re going too slow.”
“Warship?”
Under Wizard Setoh’s doubtful gaze, Merlin took out the empire-level warship controlled by the Matrix out from his ring. This warship was incredibly fast. After all, it was an empire-level warship from the Atlan civilization, and was comparable to Honored Legends.
“There are no Elemental fluctuations on this warship, so those gods won’t detect it. Very well, we’ll use this warship to travel.”
Wizard Setoh considered but did not refuse, and flew into the warship immediately. After all, there was not much time left for the Spell Caster civilization. They had to get support as soon as possible and return to Arcane City immediately.
Merlin also flew into the control room of the warship. He was preparing to give orders to the Matrix when he realized that they did not know where they were going this time.
“Wizard Setoh, where are we going?”
Merlin had no idea which civilizations were closer to the Spell Caster civilization.
There were no civilizations that were close to the Spell Caster civilization. The Spell Caster civilization was alone when it rose. Generally, civilizations that had ultimate existences were alone when they rose.
No one would be willing to see an emerging powerful civilization that possessed ultimate existences.
However, Wizard Setoh had already decided where to go. A smile appeared on his lips as he said, “Go to the Giant Tribe!”
“The Giant Tribe?”
Merlin frowned. In his eyes, the Giants were fierce and short-tempered. It was not a good idea to go to the Giant Tribe.
“Although the Giants have short temper, they had conflicts with the Rock Tribe before hence this is the best chance. Since the Rock Tribe isn’t a living tribe, their civilization is full of death. The Giant tribe is a living tribe, and fought with the Rock Tribe. That’s enough reason for them to side with us!”
Merlin nodded. Wizard Setoh said it easily but Merlin knew that it would not be easy to persuade the Titan Giant.
However, they had no other options, and could only try their best. Otherwise, the Spell Caster civilization would truly be in peril.
“By the way Wizard Setoh, where’s the Giant Tribe’s Titan Dimension? I don’t have a detailed dimension map.”
Wizard Setoh took out a dimension map. He had naturally been prepared.
“Matrix, scan.”
After the Matrix had scanned the dimension map, Merlin ordered, “Go to the Titan Dimension.”
The warship began to shake lightly. It was caused by the startup of the engine. However, the shaking soon disappeared, and the speed of the warship rose wildly.
Wizard Setoh looked out of the warship and nodded. “The Atlan civilization really is unique. This warship is very convenient, much more than our casting tools.”
Merlin hardly needed to do anything to operate the warship. Each civilization took a different path but there were still some aspects that were worth learning from. For example, if Spell Casters drew from the Atlan civilization warships, the casting tools refined might become much faster.
Merlin looked and saw that the warship still had a high energy supply, enough to reach the Titan Dimension. It might take half a year to reach but it was not a long time for Spell Casters.
…
“Hum.”
The warship shook slightly, waking up Merlin from the Illusory World. He had been in the Illusory World discussing with Titus about the Mind Power system.
“You’re awake.”
Merlin glanced at Wizard Setoh. He had long been awake but his eyes were always fixed outside the warship.
At this time, Merlin realized that a faint light had appeared unknowingly from the outside. The light became brighter as if it could illuminate the entire Void Zone.
“What’s going on? Matrix, what’s happening in front?”
Merlin hurriedly asked the Matrix.
The Matrix controlled the entire warship, so it would know best what was happening outside.
“A large amount of energy is being emitted. Detected a terrifying unknown being. Danger! Slow down immediately!”
“Stop!”
Merlin quickly stopped the Matrix. At this moment, even the entire warship began to feel burning hot.
“Swoosh.”
Arcane Wizard Setoh stood up, his eyes fixed to the front. Merlin and Arcane Wizard Setoh could both see that in the vast Void Zone, lay an incomparably large beast.
“A Slothful Beast?”
Merlin was stunned. He was extremely familiar with the Slothful Beast. In the past, he had been swallowed into the body of a Slothful Beast. If not for Arcane Wizard Setoh’s intervention, Merlin might still be stuck inside.
Therefore, after seeing the Slothful Beast, Merlin secretly felt fear. He wanted nothing more than to turn around and stay as far away as possible from the Slothful Beast.
“Wizard Setoh, it’s a Slothful Beast. We should hurry away.”
Merlin saw Wizard Setoh staring intently at the Slothful Beast, and reminded him.
Wizard Setoh’s gaze became more solemn. He pointed at the Slothful Beast in front of them and said, “What’s that in front of the Slothful Beast?”
“In front of the Slothful Beast?”
Merlin followed Arcane Wizard Setoh’s eyes, and carefully looked at the Slothful Beast.
The beast’s head seemed to be at the side, with its back facing Merlin’s warship. Its huge head seemed to be submerged in a sea of fire, and upon closer look, one could see a terrifying country filled with flames everywhere, as wide as at least a dozen dimensions.
“Since when did the Void Zone have a mysterious place like this that even the Slothful Beast can’t struggle out from?”
Merlin was shocked to realize that the Slothful Beast seemed to have been sucked in by the flames, and could not break free.
“Boom.”
Suddenly, the Slothful Beast struggled violently, and that terrifying power even affected Merlin’s warship. The roars caused Merlin’s Mind Power to feel like they were about to collapse.
“What the hell is this place?”
Merlin looked at Arcane Wizard Setoh but even this grand ultimate existence shook his head. He did not know what this place was either. He was also shocked. The Slothful Beast was a terrifying being in the Void Zone. In the past, even when the Three Great Arcane Wizards had attacked the Slothful Beast together, they could not do anything about it. It showed just how frightening the Slothful Beast was.
However, now, it seemed that this strange sea of fire could make the Slothful Beast extremely fearful.
“Go, run!”
Wizard Setoh seemed to suddenly realize something, and immediately urged Merlin to leave.
Merlin also immediately turned the warship around and flew away, but it was already too late. The moment the Slothful Beast struggled, the flames exploded violently as if turning into a huge mouth larger than the Slothful Beast, and swallowed the Slothful Beast in one bite.
The Slothful Beast disappeared, and at the same time, the flames grew even larger and spread in all directions. Then, a strong suctioning force was released. Merlin’s warship had just activated and was firmly sucked backward.
“Leave the warship. We’ll escape ourselves!”
Wizard Setoh made a split-second decision, and immediately left the warship. He flew away forcefully by relying on his Maxim.
Merlin also immediately kept the warship into his ring, and Maxim Chains instantly rose, encircling his entire body. He frantically escaped with all his strength.
“Boom.”
Just as the two Wizards rejoiced that they had escaped from that strange inferno, an ear-piercing sound rang out. Then, a shocking scene occurred. The sea of fire seemed to explode, and the terrible aftershocks swept all directions.
In an instant, Merlin and Wizard Setoh were swept away. Their figures disappeared without a trace into the sea of flames.
