“Boom!”

The huge fireball enveloped Merlin and drowned his figure in a blaze, leaving only burning flames.

“That’s it?”

“He died just like that?”

Seeing that Merlin had no resistance at all when facing the huge fireball, the two ugly Spell Casters still found it hard to believe that it was the end of Merlin. Before this, they saw how Merlin handled things effortlessly and was full of confidence, so they thought he was surely a strong Spell Caster and dared not take him lightly.

Unexpectedly, Merlin had died so easily.

“There’s one more left, capture him for interrogation!”

Albeit rather surprised, the two ugly Spell Casters turned to look at Wizard Bammou, displaying a cruel smile on their faces.

“Indeed, the Pandora Demon Ability, Fuse Earth has been completely integrated into the spell. The defensive power of Earth Veil can already match Fifth-level spells! This little attack can’t hurt me one bit…”

From within the burning inferno came a low voice, which also sounded regrettable. This made the two ugly Wizards lock their gazes, staring deadly at the burning flames.

This was already the strongest force that they could muster from the Runic Magic Circle. They had clearly seen that Merlin was engulfed by the flames. How could he have survived?

In addition, not only did Merlin survive but he was also untouched by the flames

Merlin’s figure gradually walked out of the flame. With only a gentle touch on the flame, his body had shockingly sucked in the flames which were all over the sky, making them disappear without a trace as if his body possessed some manner of magical power.

“Sizzle…”

Even the two ugly Wizards, who had seen many things in life, could not help but inhale sharply when they witnessed such an unearthly scene. Someone who was able to completely wipe out flames comparable to the peak of Fourth-level spells and could even absorb the flames into his body was already beyond their comprehension.

Meanwhile, Merlin gently closed his eyes. He was thoroughly indulging the feeling of the flames seeping into his Awareness. If it was the past, he would certainly not dare to absorb such vigorous flames.

However, things were different now. Inside his body was the most essential power of all flames – the Flame Maxim!

Precisely because he possessed the Flame Maxim, Merlin could naturally suppress any flame that he faced. Playing with fire in front of Merlin was akin to a small sorcerer in the presence of a great one! 1

Even if Merlin could not harness the full capabilities of this Flame Maxim yet, having it inside his body would still give him unimaginable benefits.

Of course, the existence of the Flame Maxim was difficult to imagine for any Spell Caster, which explained why the two ugly Wizards were in an extreme shock after seeing Merlin absorb the flames.

“Alright, bring me to see your Lord.”

Merlin said calmly while gradually opening his eyes, right after he absorbed the flames on the surface of his body. By relying on the Flame Maxim’s power, it had turned into Magic Power.

“You… Who are you?”

The two ugly Wizards had only reacted at that moment. That person in front of them, Merlin, paid no regard to them at all, he had allowed the attack and did not fight back at all.

If Merlin had retaliated, they would have been dead long ago! Thinking of this, the two ugly Wizards, who had always been conceited, did not feel very comfortable.

“Who am I? You’re in my castle and you’re asking who I am?”

A glimmer of aggression flashed across Merlin’s calm gaze. A huge suppressive force loomed on his body intermittently, making the two ugly Wizards feel petrified.

Although they seemed to be aware that Merlin’s Wizardry level was not high, this kind of high-level oppressive aura, even if only a trace, was more terrifying than anyone they had ever seen.

“You’re Viscount Merlin?”

The two ugly Wizards finally regained their senses. Was this not the person they had been waiting for, the master of the castle, the great Wizard Merlin of the Dark Magic Region?

It was rumored that Merlin was a genius in the Dark Magic Region. He had battled against two geniuses of Ozmu and had killed them both. Originally, the two ugly Wizards thought that the story was exaggerated and were not very concerned about it at all. If not for the order of the eighth prince, they would be too lazy to wait in this castle for such a long time.

However, only through the battle earlier had they realize their outrageous mistake. The true strength of Wizard Merlin in front of their very eyes was already horrifying to a point beyond their imagination…

“Wizard Merlin, we’re Spell Casters in the service of His Majesty the eighth prince. Please, our Lord is waiting for you inside!”

The ugly Wizard who wore huge earrings replied Merlin respectfully.

Merlin nodded. As he entered Wilson Castle, he found that everything was calm. There were even familiar faces around, so nothing major had happened. Hence, he was calm when battling with these two ugly Wizards who were testing his strength.

Otherwise, the two ugly Wizards would have been killed.

“Hey hey, you two are very lucky, Wizard Merlin is not such a good-tempered person…”

Wizard Bammou said meaningfully when he walked past the two ugly Wizards. He indeed knew Merlin’s personality very well. As Merlin’s “slave”, Wizard Bammou knew deeply that Merlin was not a kind-hearted person. He could even be described as incredibly ruthless.

It was just that perhaps in Wilson Castle that Merlin would “contain” himself a little. Little did the two ugly Spell Casters know that they had just danced with death itself.

Watching Merlin and Wizard Bammou enter the castle, two ugly Wizards looked at each other.

“Old witch, do you think we would’ve died just now?”

“Hehe, old ugly freak, I don’t know if we would’ve died, but even the follower of this Wizard Merlin doesn’t seem simple, he makes my skin crawl just from his stare itself. We can’t afford to offend any of them. It’s not surprising that His Royal Highness the eighth prince valued this Spell Caster from a small town so much…”

The two ugly Wizards shrunk their necks. Their instincts from hundreds of battles made them feel as though what the “follower” Wizard behind Merlin had just said was not exaggerated at all. A chill started creeping up their hearts at the thought of that…

…

“Creak…”

In the castle hall, two strange figures stood at the door, and the originally cheerful atmosphere in the hall suddenly halted!

“Merlin?”

“Lord Viscount!”

The shouts of one after another at that moment made Merlin’s ears a little confused, but when he saw each face in the hall, Merlin’s heart was full of warmth.

His father, Old Wilson’s body had become more upright, giving off a dignified aura. Merlin also cultivated the mysterious relief sculpture, so he knew that Old Wilson must have also succeeded in cultivating the fourth piece of the mysterious relief sculpture. Even if faced with some low-level Spell Casters, Old Wilson would be able to kill them.

This was the difference between the first three pieces and the fourth piece of the mysterious relief sculpture, which was a qualitative improvement!

“Father!”

Merlin cracked a smile at the edge of his lips and walked toward Old Wilson. Although Merlin had grown quite a little through the times, in the face of Old Wilson, who was about two meters tall with an almost mini-giant-like burly body, Merlin still seemed very “small”.

However, this did not affect the loving relationship between the two. Old Wilson patted Merlin’s shoulder. Though he was very happy, he appeared calm on the surface, only nodding slightly. “Merlin, it’s nice that you’re back. It’s been a long time since you’ve left. Just look, both Conxion and Celia have grown so tall already.”

Merlin turned around and saw Avril and Charise, both were fuller and more mature. They each held a child in their hands, who looked like they were four or five years old.

“How old are they?”

Merlin could not help but squat by their side, and softly pinched the cheeks of the two little ones but they seemed afraid when seeing Merlin.

The last time Merlin left Prakash City, he encountered many things. Even he had been close to forgetting how long had it been since he left. He only knew that it had been some time. He did not even know the specific age of his children, Conxion and Celia. When he thought of it, Merlin could not help but feel guilty.

However, Charise was very sensible. With a sweet smile on her face, she said, “Merlin, both Conxion and Celia will turn four very soon. They’re still just a little shy.”

“Okay.”

Merlin took a deep look at Charise and Avril. Compared to Charise’s sensibility, Avril’s gaze appeared to be “relatively resentful”.

In addition to the two children – Constance and Celia – there was another dignified-looking child with short blond hair, who was not afraid at all. He went directly to Merlin’s feet, looked up at him and asked, “Are you Uncle Merlin? ”

“Uncle?”

Merlin frowned, looking at the little guy who could not even reach his knees. His eyes glimpsed. Although the child was still young, he noticed something amiss.

This courageous child had a slight anomaly of Mind Power fluctuations. This kind of fluctuation was very faint but an ordinary Spell Caster would be able to detect it. This represented that this bold child possessed Spell Caster Quality. He had a chance of becoming a Spell Caster in the future!

“Cole, let go!”

Just when Merlin wondered who the child was, a “mettlesome” voice broke out, and then, a beautiful woman donned in an aristocratic long dress came in. She raised an eyebrow, looking at Merlin somewhat reluctantly. Still, she lifted her skirt slightly, bowed and said, “Lord Viscount!”

“Macy? Are you Macy?”

Merlin could still vaguely see the past shadow of “Macy” from this lady’s face. However, compared with the “gritty” Macy back then, the current Macy had matured and became a noblewoman. She even began to call Merlin “Lord Viscount”, which was impossible in the past.

“The little guy must be Cole. Good, he and Yaguez are alike!”

Merlin also previously heard from Old Wilson that Macy was going to marry Yaguez, but Merlin got delayed as he went to Floating City, so he did not come back for Macy’s wedding. He did not expect that the next time he returned, he would be able to see Macy’s kid, who had grown.

Moreover, the appearance of little Cole was indeed similar to the young, faithful knight, Yaguez.

Merlin looked at the house full of both familiar faces and unfamiliar ones, and emotions stirred in his heart. The entire Wilson clan was truly prospering. The changes in the clan must be far more than this. Merlin would need to familiarize himself with all of them slowly in the future.

“Merlin, Snake Elder knows that you’re back. Just go in. Snake Elder was sent by His Royal Highness the eighth prince to protect Wilson Castle, and all this time it was also thanks to him…”

Merlin initially wanted to talk to the people he was familiar with like Macy, Avril, and Charise, but this time Wilson Castle seemed to have undergone some changes, and Merlin wanted to know the reason behind it.

Naturally, he would need to go and see this mysterious “Snake Elder
