Chapter 384: Miracle Door

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing the surprised cries of Wizard Sarah and the others, Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly. Kleis had defected to Ozmu but had now appeared in Blacksand Fort. This situation was difficult to justify.

Blacksand Fort was very likely in imminent peril!

If Merlin had thought of this, the other spell casters’ organizations had naturally thought of this too. Therefore, a great change fell over the faces of many Spell Casters as they linked this to the constant tremors and the turbulent Elemental fluctuations that they felt in the hall earlier. Some Spell Casters even decided to stealthily leave the place.

As a large spell casters’ organization, Blacksand Fort had two Great Wizards and many Ninth-level Spell Casters. In addition, this was where Blacksand Fort was situated, so naturally, there were strict protections in place. In order to enter Blacksand Fort so brazenly, Ozmu must have mobilized no small amount of power.

“Wizards from Ozmu, how dare you to break into my Blacksand Fort? Die!”

In the arena, Bratu immediately took a great step forward, quickly approaching Kleis and the others, after which he stretched out a hand and pointed at them. Instantly, a mist pervaded the air, forming into a large net that trapped Kleis and the others.

This was a Third-level Water-type spell, and it was merged with Pandora Demon Ability. As Bratu was a prodigious Spell Caster of Blacksand Fort, it was natural that he had a powerful Pandora Demon Ability – a Binding spell at that. It was combined with his Water-type spell, and the might it displayed was rather formidable, even able to restrict a Spell Caster at the peak of the Sixth-level.

This was one of Bratu’s greatest supporting powers!

Seeing that the pervasive mist had bound Kleis and the others within the net with the ripples passing over them constantly, the tall, aged Wizard who came with Kleis said in a raspy voice, “Kleis, hehe, Bratu of Blacksand Fort is one of the most remarkable geniuses in the southern Spell Caster world! Ozmu had previously aimed at recruiting him too but Blacksand Fort had very strict protections, so we didn’t succeed.”

“The most remarkable genius?”

Kleis shook his head lightly and gradually lifted his head. His gaze seemed to pierce beyond the mist, extending toward Bratu in the hall.

“Quake!”

A soft cry came from Kleis. Invisible, mysterious energy seemed to emanate from his body, causing the mist to vibrate as it stirred up rings of ripples.

“Splash.”

Soon enough, the mist rapidly vanished due to the violent vibrations. Bratu’s spell was easily shattered by Kleis.

A shiver flickered slightly in Bratu’s eyes, and he appeared astounded. He knew his own spell the best. It was definitely not as simple as it looked but Kleis was able to dispel it with a single gesture. Obviously, Kleis’ power far exceeded his.

“Wasn’t Kleis a Wizard from the small-sized spell casters’ organization, the Dark Magic Region? How is he so powerful?”

Bratu’s face shifted uncertainly. He clenched his jaw and was about to make his next move when Kleis pointed at him from afar. This seemed to be an insignificant gesture but Bratu suddenly felt an intense sense of threat.

“Chaos!”

Kleis’ voice was as cold as ice. After he pointed, ripples were stirred up in the air, quickly spreading to where Bratu stood.

Bratu had cast a Defensive spell in advance, but at that moment, an unseen force seemed to attack his Defensive spell from all directions with a strength that was nearly inconceivable. His Defensive spell merely held on for a short time before it collapsed.

“Crack.”

A change washed over Bratu’s face as he tried to retreat, but before he could move, his body seemed to suffer a heavy blow. Suddenly, his face flushed red and he spat blood, following which his energy was utterly drained.

In one mere attack, Bratu was gravely injured. It was known that Bratu could be compared to a Spell Caster at the peak of the Sixth-level, coming close to a Seventh-level Spell Caster. However, he was seriously injured by Kleis’ single attack!

Merlin had been observing Kleis. Unlike Wizard Sarah, Wizard Envia, and the others, Merlin had never seen Kleis before. His impression of Kleis was formed through the descriptions of a few Spell Casters in the Dark Magic Region.

Still, now that he had really seen Kleis, Merlin suddenly realized that he was unable to combine the Kleis before his eyes with the Kleis in his mind.

“How strong. What power is this?”

Merlin’s expression was solemn. Although he was confident that he was not inferior to Bratu, he could only fight against Bratu on equal terms. Merlin was far from being like Kleis, casually causing heavy injuries to Bratu with a single attack.

The Miracle Child narrowed his eyes. In the instant he saw Kleis make his attack, he seemed to have seen something mind-boggling and his expression shifted greatly.

“Spatial... It’s Spatial Strength. You’ve constructed the rare Spatial spell? No, it doesn’t seem to be a Spatial spell. You’ve cultivated the special Pandora Demon Ability, Spatial Blade!”

The Miracle Child had never looked so somber. In the past, no matter who his opponent was, his expression had remained calm.

However, as he faced Kleis, his expression turned grave. The Miracle Child, who was widely knowledgeable, could tell that the power that Kleis had utilized earlier was Spatial Strength.

“Spatial spell? Special Pandora Demon Ability, Spatial Blade?”

Merlin glanced at the Miracle Child. Although he did not know what power Kleis had used, the Miracle Child was widely knowledgeable, and should not be wrong.

Spatial spells were even harder to come by than Darkness-type spells. It was said that some Wizards were unable to construct Light-type spells for specific reasons. In that case, only certain people who were able to absorb Spatial Element could construct Spatial-type spells.

Furthermore, Spatial-type spells were relatively rare, to the point that some large spell casters’ organizations had no Spatial-type spells. Evidently, when Kleis was in the Dark Magic Region, he had concealed his identity as a Spatial Wizard, hiding in the Dark Magic Region for unknown reasons.

“Could it be that the Dark Magic Region has Spatial spells? Or items that are linked to the construction of Spatial spells?”

Merlin mumbled in a low voice. Kleis had covered up his identity as a Spatial Wizard. He was like Merlin after all – a rare Six-Elemental Spell Caster!

Back when Merlin was in the Ship of Nikola, he had seen the explanation of a few special Pandora Demon Abilities, one of which was Spatial Blade.

Spatial Blade was like Darkness Eye, a special Pandora Demon Ability with mysterious and unfathomable powers. However, cultivating Spatial Blade was even more demanding than Darkness Eye.

Kleis took a few steps forward, then nodded slightly. “That’s right. I expect nothing less of the Miracle Child – to be able to recognize my Spatial Blade at a glance! I’ve heard that each Miracle Child possesses a Miracle Door. I wonder if my Spatial Blade is able to overcome your Miracle Door. I look forward to finding out!”

Kleis continued forward. There was no one else but the Miracle Child in his eyes.

“Hmph, the Wizards from Ozmu are really out of control. This is my Blacksand Fort. You have no right to come here and misbehave!”

At that moment, a few Host Wizards from Blacksand Fort who were also Sixth-level Spell Casters could not bear it any longer. They took a firm step forward, and without a second thought, acted together to attack Kleis.

The fact that Bratu had just been gravely injured by Kleis with a single blow did not make these Sixth-level Spell Casters any less careful.

The moment these Sixth-level Spell Casters raised their hands, they unleashed Sixth-level spells. This barrage of Sixth-level spells filled the air as it thundered toward Kleis with frightening power.

Nevertheless, even with such a formidable attack, the spells did not spread outward in the slightest, and thus did not affect the other Wizards in the hall. This was enough to demonstrate how precise their control over their spells was.

However, Kleis’ expression was still unchanged. He extended both hands and struck the air at a few points. “Quake!”

An unseen force shook the volley of spells until they collapsed – it was truly the mysterious and powerful Spatial Strength.

After the spells were dispersed, a vicious look flashed in Kleis’ eyes. Following that, he raised his palms and pushed at the empty air from a distance. “Slash!”

“Chi-chi.”

An anguished expression washed over the faces of the Sixth-level Wizards in the hall. It was as if their bodies were sliced by countless sharp blades. The deep lines of scars were a ghastly sight.

The entire hall was permeated with a thick stench of blood. The bodies of Spell Casters were frail, only slightly better than Normies. Kleis had used Spatial Blade to instantly kill those Sixth-level Spell Casters, and there were even grisly wounds left on the corpses.

“Tsss.”

The sound of Wizards drawing in a sharp breath rang out across the hall. Sixth-level Spell Casters were considered relatively powerful, being a core force in spell casters’ organizations. However, Kleis had currently eliminated a few Sixth-level Spell Casters all at once in a casual manner, causing them to tremble in fear.

“You’ve cultivated the third form of Spatial Blade! You’re a Fourth-level Spell Caster!”

The Miracle Child revealed his fear and apprehension. He had never looked like this. Now, he had sensed Kleis’ dangerous force. Even when he was facing some Eighth-level Spell Casters, he had never felt so strongly threatened before.

The third form of a special Pandora Demon Ability was extremely terrifying, enough to kill a Seventh-level Spell Caster, and an outstanding Seventh-level Spell Caster at that!

“Fourth-level? Maybe so. I’ve waited for so many years before I finally leveled up to a Fourth-level Spell Caster. Finally, it doesn’t disappoint me now.”

A dangerous smile tugged at the corner of Kleis’ mouth. He pressed on closer to the Miracle Child, going faster and faster, until finally, he was nothing but a blur of speed.

“Quake!”

Kleis pointed his fair finger, this time at the Miracle Child!

Following his gesture, the invisible Spatial Strength turned into many ripples as if it was water, rushing toward the Miracle Child.

“Miracle Door!”

The Miracle Child dared not be careless and gave a low cry. Instantly, before him, a large door flickering with a faint golden glow slowly began to materialize.

The door was carved with complicated and distorted runes, appearing to be filled with a divine and mysterious force.
