Chapter 570: An Opportunity, Perhaps!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Vortex Hole was dominated by the Giant Tribe. Merlin eyed the Spell Casters in the hall, and suddenly asked in a soft voice, “Why are Spell Casters so weak? Even without Elements, you’ve refined your Mind Power and are all powerful Mind Power Masters. Why would we be so weak?”

Merlin did not quite understand. In the outside world, Mind Power Masters were on par with Spell Casters except at the apex of fighting power such as Great Legends. As the Mind Power system was not perfected, the strongest Mind Power Masters could only compare to a peak Great Wizard.

Nonetheless, in the Slothful Beast world, even if there were no powerful beings on par with Great Legends among the Spell Casters, did that mean that there were such beings in the foreign tribes? Even if Spell Casters had all turned into Mind Power Masters, they should not be so puny that even the lowly Two-headed Tribe could capture them easily.

This question caused everyone to fall into a deep silence.

It was a long while before Wizard Eldo of Spellcast City spoke carefully, “This matter is more complicated. How did you two Wizards enter the Slothful Beast world?”

“Of course, we were swallowed by the Slothful Beast. Is there actually any other way to enter the Slothful Beast world?”

Merlin asked, mystified.

“Heh, of course, there is. The two Wizards beside me entered the Slothful Beast’s body out of curiosity around a thousand years ago. They were unable to leave ever since...”

Merlin glanced at the two Spell Casters beside Wizard Eldo, and was somewhat speechless. There were people who went in the Slothful Beast’s body of their own free will. Nonetheless, with the Slothful Beast’s immense body, many people, even upon entering its body, would not realize it was a humongous beast.

Wizard Eldo continued saying, “We Spell Casters only set foot in the Void Zone three thousand years ago while a Slothful Beast can easily exist for ten thousand, a hundred thousand, even a million years! Thus, the history of a Slothful Beast is much more extensive than us Spell Casters...

“A Slothful Beast would swallow constantly. It’s like a bottomless pit. Once it awakens, it’ll swallow everything no matter what it is! No one can really ascertain how many dimensions this Slothful Beast has swallowed... In such a long time, many foreign tribes have naturally come to the Slothful Beast world ahead of us. They’ve developed into massive factions here, and adapted to the environment of the Slothful Beast world.

“Thereafter, the first batch of Spell Casters was swallowed by the Slothful Beast. At first, they were very powerful, and quickly stirred up a storm in the Slothful Beast world, indicating the arrival of Spell Casters! How I miss those times. The Spell Casters’ might was something other tribes found hard to resist. We Spell Casters were the greatest force in the Slothful Beast world for a period of time!

“However, good things don’t last. Quickly, that first generation of Spell Casters discovered that their elemental crystal stones were running out, and there were no Elements here to replenish their Magic Power. Thus, you can imagine their fates... The glory of that first batch of Spell Casters persisted only for a short while. It was so fast that most of the Spell Casters now don’t even know that we once enjoyed such a glorious age!

“Later on, Spell Casters who were lucky to survive gradually got used to the Slothful Beast world and began to cultivate their Mind Power. It’s too bad that the Mind Power system isn’t perfected, and requires too much aptitude, so the Spell Casters’ development was very slow. For a relatively long time, the faction of Spell Casters was very puny, but thereafter, a noble presence changed everything!

“That noble presence is Titus! Titus himself was a formidable Mind Power Master. After being swallowed into the Slothful Beast world, he used over five hundred years to refine the Mind Power system resolutely. In the end, he singlehandedly elevated the system of Mind Power Masters into an unimaginable stage...”

Merlin looked up abruptly, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. To date, no one had perfected the Mind Power system. It was the highest goal of countless Mind Power Masters in the Spell Caster civilization.

Could it be that in the Slothful Beast world, someone had perfected the Mind Power system?

“Wizard Eldo, did this Titus really develop the Mind Power system?”

Merlin’s voice was shaking slightly. If one really perfected the Mind Power system, how terrifying would that be? Now, Merlin was no longer a Spell Caster who knew nothing as he was back then. He was enlightened by the Blackfire Lord, and knew profoundly how difficult it was to perfect the Mind Power system. Understanding the Essence of Mind Power would turn illusory into reality. Perhaps for Spell Casters, they would merely form a Maxim.

However, to a Mind Power Master, this would go against the natural order. Once someone had really perfected the Mind Power system and understood the Essence of Mind Power, their achievements would be something even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards could not imagine.

Wizard Eldo shook his head helplessly. “How could it be that easy to perfect the Mind Power system? I even suspect that it’s totally impossible for someone to achieve that... Still, Titus’s use of Mind Power truly did surpass a Great Wizard, and can even match a Legend!”

“Match a Legend?”

Merlin was truly shocked this time. Back when he was cultivating Nine Hit Strike, he heard Wizard Ossais mentioned that the highest state of Nine Hit Strike was comparable to a Great Legend. Perhaps that would develop the Mind Power system.

As a result, Ossais began to venture in the Void Zone, trying to discover the point where the Occult Mind Spell could be cultivated to Nine Hit Strike.

Nevertheless, Merlin had encountered the Blackfire Lord thereafter, and gradually learned that perfecting the Mind Power system was not that simple. After truly perfecting it, it was impossible that one’s attainment would merely be a Great Legend.

“That’s right, match a Legend! A pure Mind Power Master who had cultivated Mind Power to the level of a Legend. At that time, Titus nearly took the entire Slothful Beast world by storm, allowing Spell Casters to dominate the Slothful Beast world for the first time! He had proved that, even without Elements, we Spell Casters can become matchlessly powerful...”

“Where’s Titus?”

Merlin stood up in haste, his gaze piercing into Eldo. Someone had progressed so far in the Mind Power system. It was not surprising that Merlin felt in the entire Slothful Beast world, the Mind Power system was far more advanced that it was in the Void Zone.

Perhaps this was an opportunity. If he could meet Titus and ask for guidance, Merlin might be able to advance further in his search for the Essence of Mind Power.

However, faced with Merlin’s inquiry, Wizard Eldo shook his head heavily and sighed. “He’s dead...”

“Dead?”

“Yes, dead! No matter how accomplished Titus was in terms of Mind Power, ultimately, he still had not grasped the Essence of Mind Power. Without elemental crystal stones, his body was just like a Normie’s, quickly decaying to his death... However, Titus had left behind Spellcast City as a haven for Spell Casters after his death when the influence of Spell Casters would be greatly reduced. As for those outside Spellcast City, we’re powerless to help them.”

Eldo’s words resolved many questions that Merlin was wondering about. It was not surprising that Foba and the rest longed with all their hearts to move the Gigula Tribe into Spellcast City.

“So, after Titus, none of you managed to reach his level?”

“No one had ever approached Titus’ level. After his death, some foreign tribes carried out mass attacks and massacres against Spell Casters, leading to the decline of our power. Now, among all our Spell Casters, Ninth-level Mind Power Masters are the strongest we have, and there are only a mere eleven in total...”

Eleven Ninth-level Mind Power Masters – this was the strongest force of the Spell Caster faction in the Slothful Beast world. Among the many foreign tribes, this small force was rather weak.

The pinnacle of their fighting strength was few in number hence it was nothing significant. As a result, the foreign tribes no longer viewed Spell Casters as a threat.

“Wizard Merlin, Wizard Luce, if you’re willing to go to Spellcast City, we’ll be glad to open the monument which Titus had left behind for you two. All of his understanding of Mind Power is in that monument.”

Eldo extended an invitation to Merlin and Wizard Luce.

Merlin was tempted. He and Wizard Luce had come to the Slothful Beast world by accident. Initially, he thought that he was as good as dead but an unexpected opportunity had arisen. To have someone achieved the level of a Great Legend on the path of a Mind Power Master was already no easy feat.

Perhaps this was a chance for Merlin to obtain a more immediate and comprehensive understanding of the Mind Power system. Therefore, he was really tempted by Titus’ monument.

Nonetheless, Merlin knew that he would not be able to visit this monument so easily.

“What do you need?”

Merlin did not even look up as he asked.

“It’s simple – elemental crystal stones, and I mean large amounts of elemental crystal stones! In Spellcast City, we have nine Ninth-level Mind Power Masters in total, and there are also Ancestor Bluerock and Elder Yani from outside, making a total of eleven Ninth-level Mind Power Masters, all of whom form the greatest fighting force in the Spell Caster faction! Thus, each of the nine Ninth-level Mind Power Masters of Spellcast City would need at least ten thousand elemental crystal stones before they would agree to let you enter Spellcast City to study Titus’ monument!”

Eldo brought up this condition and the entire hall fell silent instantly.

Ten thousand elemental crystal stones – even if Merlin agreed, he would only give up ninety thousand elemental crystal stones. With the number of elemental crystal stones in both the Spatial Rings of Merlin and Wizard Luce, this amount of elemental crystal stones was merely a drop in the ocean.

If they used the elemental crystal stones purely to sustain their Spell Models, the elemental crystal stones of Merlin and Luce were even enough to last them for ten thousand years... With such a long period, if Merlin and Wizard Luce did not break through to an Honored Legend, they would not even be capable of living that long.

However, this was their secret. In the Slothful Beast world, these elemental crystal stones were enough to drive anyone crazy. Perhaps the rest were currently apprehensive of Luce’s strength, but if they learned of this hoard of elemental crystal stones, they would try to get it at any cost.

Nevertheless, if Merlin waited until the black cat Didimoss awoke, then this would not be of concern!

“I can give you ninety thousand elemental crystal stones, but I have my conditions too. That is, you must allow the entire Gigula Tribe to move into Spellcast City!”

This was Merlin’s initial promise to Elder Foba.

“You... Both of you have really agreed? That’s ninety thousand elemental crystal stones!”

Eldo did not expect that Merlin would agree so readily. Even though they knew that Spell Casters who had just arrived from the outside world to the Slothful Beast world would have many elemental crystal stones, the thought that Merlin would hand over ninety thousand elemental crystal stones all at once caused them to look at Merlin and Wizard Luce in an incomparably fervent manner!
