Riesen's face turned pale. He had seen the powerful Weiss killed by Merlin. He now regretted not taking the opportunity to flee while both of them were occupied with the fight.

Riesen noticed the dark elements around Merlin intensify. In response, he immediately took out a roll of animal skin from his ring as he shouted to the Spell Casters around him, "I have the cultivation method of a Pandora Demon Ability in my hands. Whoever helps me defeat Merlin shall have it!"

Riesen was desperate at this point. He was willing to lose the cultivation method of Fiery Collapse to save his life.

"Pandora Demon Ability?"

"Is it really a Pandora Demon Ability?"

Many Spell Casters glanced at the roll of animal skin in Riesen's hand. There was a hint of surprise in their eyes as they stared eagerly.

Merlin stopped in his tracks and his eyes swept his surroundings. Suddenly, the Spell Casters around him did not seem eager anymore, even the Fourth-level Spell Casters just shook their heads and held back their temptation as none of them had dared to move forward.

The Pandora Demon Ability was tempting, but after witnessing the battle between Merlin and Weiss, the Fourth-level Spell Casters knew clearly how dangerous getting in Merlin's way would have been. They would resist this temptation to live another day.

From this point on, it was clear that Merlin was a much more powerful Wizard than Weiss!

"It's useless to avoid death!"

Merlin shook his head as he calmly watched Riesen. Merlin was not the same newbie Wizard he was when he first joined the Dark Magic Region. He now had the mentality of a strong Spell Caster and he could face any obstacle!

"Fire!"

Merlin shifted slightly and suddenly, a white flame rose from Wizard Riesen's body. The flame swelled up and soon Riesen's entire body was enveloped in flames.

Merlin watched calmly as Riesen struggled in the flames. Riesen eventually fell to the ground, his body burned beyond recognition. Merlin waited till there was no movement when he finally waved off the flame.

All that remained on Riesen's body was his ring and the roll of animal skin that had recorded the cultivation methods of Fiery Collapse. The surrounding Spell Casters watched Merlin pick up the roll of animal skin with a desperate glow in their eyes.

However, the roll of animal skin was already in Merlin's hand, and they knew Merlin already possessed a Pandora Demon Ability. It was like Wizard Leo, everyone knew he had successfully cultivated Darkness Eye, who would dare to foolishly stand against him?

This was because of the reassurance that Merlin had gained from when he killed Weiss. He was sure now that his strength was in no way inferior to that of a Fourth-level Spell Caster. In fact, there may not be a Spell Caster in Floating City that would dare oppose Merlin!

Therefore, even if they knew Merlin possessed the Pandora Demon Ability, they would not dare act and they took warning from the shattered pieces of Weiss' as an example.

"Elena, let's go!"

Merlin put the roll of animal skin and the ring away and bid Elena to leave. Wizard Matthew of the Delman clan watched Merlin leave with Elena with a horrified look on his face.

"Elena? It is her, why did she not mention that she and Merlin were students of the same tutor?"

Wizard Matthew thought of this with a hint of joy on his face, and then, he quickly left the Delman clan.

The vast ocean seemed endless, and any continent seemed tiny amongst the ocean.

In the depths of the ocean was an unnamed island. On it was a resplendent and magnificent palace that gleamed so bright that it could be seen from far away.

"Kleis!"

In one of the houses on the palace grounds, a tall ponytailed female Spell Caster with tight-fitting clothes shouted across the room at another male Wizard who had his eyes shut.

The male Wizard furrowed his eyebrows and looked annoyed as he quickly opened his eyes.

"Bluebird, what's the matter?"

The female Wizard was called Bluebird, it seemed more like a code name than a real name.

"Kleis, the idiot Weiss is dead!"

Bluebird had an unsympathetic look on her face.

Kleis frowned slightly, unlike Bluebird who was grinning. He whispered as he asked, "Weiss is dead? Didn't he go to Floating City to perform a simple task? Other than Sterling House, Floating City does not have a huge amount of force, even if you include Sterling House, the best Spell Casters of Floating City are only Fourth-level Spell Casters. Weiss is not that powerful, but he would have been able to easily defeat the Fourth-level Spell Casters of Floating City. What happened?"

Bluebird snorted. "The person who killed Weiss was not from Floating City but was, in fact, a Spell Caster from the Dark Magic Region! It seems your Dark Magic Region is truly amazing. After you left, a Six Elemental First-level Spell Caster had emerged, he was the one who killed Weiss."

"Six Elemental Spell Caster!"

Kleis was calm before he heard Bluebirds explanation. His body flashed with outrageous energy. He himself was a Five Elemental Spell Caster, he knew how difficult it was to become a Six Elemental Spell Caster.

Kleis had once considered becoming a Six Elemental Spell Caster but in the end, he gave up this pursuit.

Now there was a Six Elemental Spell Caster in the Dark Magic Region and Kleis was surprised.

"Wait, I have some recollection of this. In the Dark Magic Region, there was a Spell Caster who was assigned to Wizard Leo's Tower. He was a Six Elemental Spell Caster but had yet to become a First-level Spell Caster. Could it be him? If I recall, his name was Merlin!"

Kleis recalled some of the things that happened when he was in the Dark Magic Region. He remembered hearing rumors of a Six Elemental Spell Caster, but Merlin was just an Entrance-level Spell Caster at that time and very far from becoming a First-level Spell Caster. Kleis could not have remembered him.

"That's right, it is Merlin! Leo truly is amazing, he could even cultivate Darkness Eye. Sir Osseus died at the hands of Leo too. Not only is he incredible, but his students are also very powerful"

Bluebird said emotionally.

"What do the upper-class think?"

Kleis asked with a slight squint.

"At first, they thought to seduce Merlin to betray the Dark Magic Region. Hehe, unfortunately, the agreement between the Dark Magic Region and Floating City cannot be broken for the time being. Therefore, they can't send a Fourth-level Spell Caster forward, it would be too obvious. The upper-class is preparing to send a Third-level Spell Caster instead, I have already applied for the task."

Bluebird's expression gradually became more serious as she laid out the situation in a low voice.

"Huh? You're going?"

"Yes, I won't let anyone threaten your position in Ozmu. The idiot Weiss overestimated himself, he wanted to compare himself to you. I've always wanted the opportunity to kill him. Luckily, Merlin has helped me, it is clear that Merlin is quite strong. Kleis, you know the tradition of Ozmu, the more gifted the Spell Caster the more valuable they are. If Merlin arrives in Ozmu, I am afraid it will pose a serious threat to your status!"

"So, I've applied to deal with matters this time. Not to rope in Merlin, but to ensure he never threatens your position, or I will kill him!"

Bluebird's eyes turned cold yet her tone remained calm, it was very unnerving. Only when she looked at Kleis did her expression return soft.

Kleis felt uneasy as he looked at Bluebird, he extended his arm and gently stroked her hair. He said calmly, "Okay, Bluebird. I will be relieved if you go. If not, shall I cultivate the Demon Ability Ozmu gave me and personally meet Merlin to see how truly amazing this rumored Six-Elemental Spell Caster is?"

"What? Are you sure you want to cultivate the Demon Ability? No one in Ozmu has successfully cultivated it before. Too many gifted Spell Casters have died at the hand of this Demon Ability."

Bluebird heard Kleis and her expression changed greatly, she was very nervous.

Kleis continued to stroke Bluebird's hair, he smiled and reassured her with a calm voice, "Is it not worth it to betray the Dark Magic Region? Ordinary Spell Casters could never become a powerful Spell Caster, but I am not destined to be ordinary!"

Kleis said with a hint of madness on his face.

Bluebird fell silent for a while, but she eventually calmed down. She knew that once Kleis had decided on something, his mind could not be changed.

"Fine, after I kill Merlin, I will return as soon as possible. If you die, I will accompany you!"

At that moment, the cold Wizard Bluebird seemed gentle.

Floating City, in the Delman clan.

Wizard Matthew walked in from the courtyard. Although his position in the Delman clan was high, he did not dare scorn at the people in this room.

"Squeak!"

The large doors suddenly burst open as Wizard Matthew raised his head fiercely. He saw a young Spell Caster dressed in black robes from across the room.

"Wizard Merlin!"

Wizard Matthew shouted hurriedly as Wizard Elena followed behind him.

Merlin looked at Elena with a confused look on his face, and Elena stood awkwardly as she whispered, "Merlin, this is my father."

Merlin remembered Elena briefly mention that her father was the clan elder of the Delman clan.

"Wizard Matthew, is something wrong?"

Merlin's gaze met Wizard Matthew's as he asked calmly.

Wizard Matthew smiled and whispered, "Wizard Merlin, this is the case, we, the Delman clan, are willing to pay any price to copy the Pandora Demon Ability on that roll of animal skin!"

"You want the Pandora Demon Ability?"

Merlin squinted slightly as he gazed gently at Elena, whose face was red with embarrassment. Then, Merlin turned his gaze to Wizard Matthew, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
