Chapter 628: Willing to Try!

“Crash.”

The gigantic Progenitor’s Body was covered under the dark red light. An enormous hand, as big as a nimbus cloud covering half the sky, slammed down violently.

All the six Spell Casters wielded their strongest powers and erected six shields before proceeding to add one layer after another for reinforcements. Their abilities were unable to match the Progenitor’s Body’s height, so they could only add on more layers. It was impossible to avoid the Progenitor’s Body’s terrifying blow.

“Crack crack.”

However, the shields shattered in succession. Despite using all their might, the six civilization-level Wizards could not stop the Progenitor’s Body’s palm.

Six pieces of shields crumbled like paper as the Progenitor’s Body landed directly on the six civilization-level Wizards. As a result, the six civilization-level Wizards were sent flying.

Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney, who stood at the very front, received the full brunt of the Progenitor’s Body power. They were instantly crushed, and their auras disappeared.

Two civilization-level Wizards, dead!

The entire battlefield turned silent. The expressions of numerous Spell Casters lined outside the Seely Dimension fell. Who would have thought that, just a moment ago, they were holding the upper hand in an advantageous situation, but suddenly, everything was reversed by the Rock Tribe and directly killed two civilization-level Wizards?

Although the four remaining civilization-level Wizards did not die, they were grievously injured. In addition, the Progenitor’s Body did not stop. It stepped forward once again and slammed both hands down. Obviously, it would not stop until it killed the four remaining civilization-level Wizards.

At this time, Arcane Wizard Setoh could no longer sit still. Once the Rock Tribe had sent six civilization-level prodigies, he knew that he had been tricked. This had been planned by Hanra from the beginning in order to kill the six civilization-level prodigies of the Spell Caster civilization.

The civilization-level prodigies played an important role in a war. Moreover, every civilization-level prodigy had unimaginable potential, and at the very least, would become a Great Honored Legend or perhaps even a powerful Lord! How could Wizard Setoh watch them die with his own eyes?

“Hanra, you dare?”

On the sky above the Seely Dimension, a huge apparition of a palm appeared out of nowhere. There seemed to be no trace of any Maxim or element but this palm could destroy everything. Everyone who saw this palm felt a sense of reverence in their hearts, and could not muster any ounce of resistance.

This huge palm grabbed the four remaining civilization-level Wizards. Then, a finger twitched and flicked gently at the gigantic Progenitor’s Body.

This was none other than an Ultimate Arcane Wizard. Even the real Progenitor’s Body was considered nothing in Wizard Setoh’s eyes, let alone the Progenitor’s Body formed by a few Ancestor-level Rock Creatures.

“Bang.”

A flick of a finger did not destroy the Progenitor’s Body. This was because at this time, an immensely huge apparition rose up in the middle of the Seely Dimension, protecting the Progenitor’s Body behind it.

This was the real Progenitor’s Body!

“Setoh, you want to fight it out?”

The move was made by the Rock Progenitor Hanra. His immense true form emitted a suffocating pressure as he confronted Arcane Wizard Setoh’s huge hand in the air.

The two impressive existences had merely released a tiny sliver of their powers. However, the entire Seely Dimension began to shake violently as if unable to withstand the power of these two great existences.

In fact, if an Ultimate Arcane Wizard had acted, none of the dimensions would be able to withstand the attack. Even if they fought in the Void Zone, the aftershocks could destroy countless dimensions.

“Hmph, Hanra, the war has just begun!”

It was clear that Arcane Wizard Setoh was not prepared to launch a civilization war. Therefore, he would not start a battle with Progenitor Hanra here. It was already lucky enough that he was able to save the four remaining civilization-level Wizards.

A cold snort later, Arcane Wizard Setoh’s huge apparition palm began to dissipate. A ray of light enclosed the four remaining civilization-level Wizards, and exited the Seely Dimension.

“All of you, come back. I’ll send someone else to control the Seely Dimension!”

Progenitor Hanra’s body also gradually vanished. Due to the powers of the two ultimate existences, the entire Seely Dimension suffered tremendous damage. It would take hundreds of years for it to recover.

“All Spell Casters, retreat to the Alabaster Dimension!”

Arcane Wizard Setoh’s voice reverberated in the ears of every Spell Caster, causing many of them to awaken from their stupor. After watching the situation taking a turn for the worse, and hearing Arcane Wizard Setoh’s command, there was no lingering doubt. In this first confrontation and first final battle, the Spell Casters had lost!

“We lost, the Seely Dimension is lost, and more than a dozen dimensions at the front line will also be lost…”

The numerous Spell Casters at the front line were extremely depressed. After fighting so many years against the Rock Tribe at the front line, the Spell Casters had lost the final battle to the Rock Tribe.

“Wizard Merlin, we’ve been temporarily defeated. The Rock Tribe has six civilization-level prodigies whereas we’ve lost two, and only have four left. Moreover, the Rock Tribe is still able to form the Progenitor’s Body. Without the Legends’ involvement, there’s no more hope for the Spell Casters to win. Let’s go, we’ll return to the Alabaster Dimension and wait. After this, other than Arcane Wizard Setoh allowing the Legends to fight and launch a civilization war, we have no other options. Unless we’re willing to relinquish those dozens of dimensions, and allow the Rock Tribe to become even more aggressive…”

Saturn shook his head in despair. He was the mightiest existence below a Legend, and played a significant role preceding the Legends’ involvement as well as had a large impact on the development of the war.

Nevertheless, once a civilization war erupted, and the Great Legends started to intervene, the Great Legends, Honored Legends, and Great Lords all possessed unimaginable destructive powers. A single Maxim could even shatter a dimension.

At that time, Spell Casters below the level of Legends might still prove useful but their impact on the outcome of the war would be significantly reduced.

Merlin took a deep look at the worn-out state of the Seely Dimension. He did not know what would happen next in this war.

…

In Setoh Castle, the four Lords, eighteen Honored Legends, and hundreds of Great Legends were currently silent but the atmosphere was frightfully deafening.

In the main foyer, the four civilization-level Wizards looked ashen.

At last, the last remaining Wizard from the three great Arcane Cities, Wizard Sven, fell to his knees before the main foyer. He gritted his teeth. “Great Wizard Setoh, we were inadequate. We failed to defeat the Rock Tribe and instead, we lost Wizard Yad and Wizard Courtney.”

Wizard Setoh did not utter a word. A long pause ensued. Then, he shook his hand in a dismissive gesture. “This has nothing to do with you. It was my fault for not thinking it through. All of you get up and stand aside.”

These four civilization-level Wizards were also powerless. In the face of a Progenitor’s Body formed by six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies, there was no hope of victory.

“Four Lords, what do you think we should do now?”

Wizard Setoh looked at the four Lords before him. They were the strongest existences second only to Setoh at the front line. Each of them could destroy a weaker civilization on their own.

“Wizard Setoh, no one below a Legend can defeat a Progenitor’s Body formed by those six Rock Creatures. With more than five civilization-level prodigies, the Rock Tribe is truly formidable. Besides a Legend, I really can’t think of anyone who can stand against them. Even if we had ten civilization-level prodigies, I don’t think we can win. Unless we also have a few civilization-level prodigies who are proficient in runology and can form a Runic Magic Circle, then we might have a fighting chance!”

The Nightmare Lord said slowly. Like the Blackfire Lord, he was a very ancient Lord who had existed since the Molta Empire. His position was extremely respected in the eyes of all Spell Caster.

“A civilization-level Wizard who is proficient in runology? We don’t have a single one, what more a few?”

Arcane Wizard Setoh’s heart was filled with hesitation. If he allowed the Legends to intervene, it would mean that he was the one who started a brutal civilization war.

The brutality that accompanied a civilization war was well-known to Arcane Wizard Setoh. Previously, all the civilization wars he started were to deal with some weaker civilizations, and mostly ended with genocide.

This time, however, their opponent was the Rock Tribe civilization who had two Rock Progenitors. This was a powerful civilization that was not much inferior to the Spell Caster civilization.

Until it was a last resort, Arcane Wizard would not want to launch a civilization war at all cost.

As for relinquishing the Seely Dimension, Arcane Wizard Setoh did not even consider it for a moment. The Spell Caster civilization had never made any concessions. In addition, if they relinquished the Seely Dimension, hundreds of dimensions would be exposed to the Rock Tribe, which was something the Spell Caster civilization did not want to occur.

The entire foyer fell into a depressed atmosphere.

…

“Progenitor, this time we swept a clean victory whereas the Spell Casters hit rock bottom. They’ll no longer pose a threat to us!”

In the Rock Tribe dimension, countless powerful Rock Creatures were cheering and celebrating. This time, they had truly defeated the Spell Caster civilization. Currently, there was not a single Spell Caster in the dozens of dimensions at the front line.

This was a momentous victory that was worth celebrating.

However, Progenitor Hanra’s expression did not relax. After some time, he let out a long sigh. “All Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, make your preparations. When it’s necessary, mobilize the entire Rock Tribe. Setoh and the Spell Caster civilization behind him wouldn’t admit defeat easily. Over the past three thousand years, how many wars did you see the Spell Casters lose? Most likely, a civilization war will be erupting!”

“A civilization war?”

Upon mention of this phrase, even the Ancestor-level Rock Tribe descended into silence.

…

The Alabaster Dimension was tightly packed with Spell Casters, almost covering the entire dimension. Nevertheless, all the Spell Casters’ moods were quite sunken, not only because they had temporarily lost the battle but more importantly, this defeat might prompt the Ultimate Arcane Wizard to launch a civilization war.

A civilization war was an event that would see continuous losses of Great Legends. Even the Honored Legends were not exempted from its brutality. As for those below a Legend, they were almost considered cannon fodder, and would die by the millions.

Merlin stayed in the Alabaster Dimension the entire day but still, he did not know how the Spell Caster civilization would react. If a decision was made to start a civilization war, that would be the worst-case scenario. Regardless of whether it was the Rock Tribe civilization or the Spell Caster civilization, no one would benefit from it.

“Teacher Zado, as a Great Legend, you must know what’s going on, right? Has Arcane Wizard Setoh made a decision?”

Merlin asked Legend Zado’s avatar inside his ring. He only had this communication channel left, to find out what was going on in the higher levels of the Spell Caster civilization.

After a moment, Legend Zado’s avatar responded but he simply shook his head helplessly. “No decision has been made. The situation is very tricky. No one below a Legend can handle the Progenitor’s Body formed by the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies but we also cannot allow the Rock Tribe to obtain the dozens of dimensions at the front line as that would further deteriorate the overall condition of the Spell Caster civilization. Therefore, I’m afraid Wizard Setoh will allow the Legends to intervene, thus launching a civilization war!”

Merlin was stricken. It was truly the worst-case scenario. Wizard Setoh had no other options other than to launch a civilization war.

Merlin thought of the Seely people. Their civilization was reduced to ashes, and their dimension had been completely altered. From millions of Seely people, there were probably less than a thousand people, left to wander among the Spell Caster civilization.

This was the sorrow of a weak civilization!

Ever since Merlin witnessed the struggle of several weak civilizations, he had completely integrated himself with the Spell Caster civilization. The prosperity of the civilization would provide hope for him to become stronger. On the contrary, if the civilization was wiped out, he would not have a future to speak of.

The rise and fall of the Spell Caster civilization were vital to every Spell Caster! This was the reason why the Arcane Wizards and even the plunderers were anxious. Compared to the life and death of the civilization, the previous “evil” of the plunderers were considered insignificant.

“Teacher Zado, a civilization war cannot be started easily. Please, can you pass a message to Arcane Wizard Setoh? I’m willing to face the Progenitor’s Body formed by the six Rock Tribe civilization-level prodigies!”

“Huh? You’re willing to try?”

Legend Zado raised his head abruptly, his face filled with surprise, feeling like he was meeting Merlin for the first time all over again!
