“Hoo....”
Out of a sudden, a strong gust of wind whooshed across the barren hillside, and a few figuresnded on the hillside. The hillside was unevenly scattered with ragged rocks and shallow ditches. Moreover, it appeared to be in and unassuming hence there seemed to be nothing special about it.
“Where’s the Rock Tribe?”
Saturn frowned. He looked at Deutz beside him. Deutz was currently being controlled, and did not bring his giant dragon. He had led Saturn and the others directly to this hillside.
Deutz looked around and said affirmatively, “This is the ce. Thest time I met Gustia, it was here. Follow me, just below the hillside, there should be a huge crypt.”
Thus, Deutz led them down the hillside to an inconspicuous spot, and then gently pressed a boulder.
“Rumble.”
The hillside began to quake. Subsequently, a huge crack appeared, and revealed a pitch-ck staircase, which bottom could not be seen.
“This should be the ce of the Rock Tribe. ording to my information, the Rock Tribes are underground creatures. Regardless of where they are, they would choose to live underground.”
Saturn had read some information about the Rock Tribe. Although they had never met the Rock Tribe, they were able to make some basic judgment based on this information.
“Let’s go down.”
Merlin and the others were just about to descend when suddenly, the entire hillside quaked. Especially near the huge crack, the quake was even more treacherous, like a horrible aura was awakening.
“We’ve been discovered! Soon, he’le out... Might as well, saves us the effort to look for it underground. Let’s fly up first.”
Sensing this strong quake immediately put everyone on guard. The Rock Tribe’s Gustia must have discovered Merlin and the others. In any case, Merlin and the others were not surprised because they did not intend to hide in the first ce. They wanted to draw Gustia out.
The ground was still quaking but soon, from the staircase behind the crack, a ck-robed human figure flew out. With narrowed eyes, it looked very sinister.
“Spell Casters? Where are you from? Don’t you know that the Rock Tribe and the Spell Casters have a pact in the Seely Dimension?”
This ck-robed figure questioned them upon emerging.
Saturn sneered. “Gustia, how dare you mention the pact? Does the pact allow a Rock Tribe like you who’sparable to a Great Wizard to enter the Seeley Dimension?”
“Oh? It seems like you know some things... However, I’m very curious. What do you actually know?”
Although he saw that Merlin and the others knew its name, Gustia did not panic but appeared to be unruffled.
“We don’t have to know anything because once we catch you, we’ll naturally find out everything.”
“Catch me? Haha, that’s ridiculous! Looks like you don’t know anything at all but it’s okay. Soon, the Seely Dimension will belong to the Rock Tribe. Even when you find out, you won’t be able to do anything because the entire dimension will be transformed into a dimension suitable for the survival of Rock Tribe.”
Gustiaughed gleefully. At the same time, his figure exploded into chunks ofrge rocks.
“This is troublesome. So, the conspiracy of the Rock Tribe is to make the first move at all cost in order to transform the Seely Dimension into a rocky dimension!”
The hearts of Merlin and the others sunk. They, of course, knew the meaning of transforming a dimension. The Rock Tribe excelled particrly in transforming dimensions. They were non-living entities so the dimensions that they lived in were nothing but deste rocks.
Their so-called transformation n was to transform the entire Seely Dimension into rocks. Anything and everything would be transformed into rocks, just like the rocks scattered around the hillside.
Once the transformation by the Rock Tribe was sessful, then the elements on the Seely Dimension would quickly disappear. It would then turn into a ce that was unsuitable for Spell Casters to dwell.
“Damn it. That horrible Rock Tribe is making the first move. Originally, the Seely Dimension has elements and is suitable for us, Spell Casters to live here. However, if their transformation is sessful, then the Spell Casters will have one less suitable dimension to live in!”
“The Rock Tribe’s abilities are simr to us, Spell Casters. If they really seeded at transforming the dimension, I’m afraid we’ll not wage war with the Rock Tribe for a dimension with no elements. Therefore, we mustn’t let them seed. We must pass this message to Arcane City as fast as possible and get the Great Ultimate Arcane Wizards to stop them.”
The expressions on Merlin and the others had changed significantly thinking about the distressing implications caused by transforming the dimension.
“Hehe, thinking of leaving? You must be sent by Arcane City to investigate the situation in the Seely Dimension. Arcane City is known as the greatest holy ce for you Spell Casters, and all Spell Casters there are prodigies among prodigies. Killing you can also reduce some future threats for the Rock Tribe.”
Gustia revealed his true form, which was an iparably massive Rock Giant, towering over a hundred meters, almost like a small mountain peak. His aura, too, was extremely formidable. Just a slight hint was enough to make Merlin and the others feel suffocated.
“ck-armored Puppet, go!”
Vic immediately released his puppet. Pitted against the Rock Tribe, his puppet should be able to subdue him for a short while.
“Smash!”
Looking the ck-armored Puppet, the Rock Giant merely gave a gentle wave of his hand, and the ck-armored was vehemently pressed into the ground. Then, with a single punch, the ck-armored Puppet was crushed into fine powder.
“How could he be so strong? My ck-armored Puppet had mobilized all its strength, which is basicallyparable to a powerful Great Wizard. How was it unable to withstand even one attack?”
Vic was dumbfounded, his eyes filled with iprehension.
“Haha, you won’t be able to escape.”
Gustia rumbled inughter. In an instant, the entire hillside quaked strongly. Countless chunks ofrge boulders floated into the air and rapidly formed a stone wall which surrounded Merlin and the others securely.
This stone wall was extremely sturdy. Even their spells were unable to break it.
The mostmon ability of the Rock Tribe was to control rocks. The more powerful the Rock Tribe was, the stronger his ability to control rocks. He could even increase the hardness of the rocks many times over.
Taking into ount the formidable defensive power and strength of the Rock Tribe, Spell Casters did not have any special advantage tobat the Rock Tribe. All they could do was to face them head-on.
“Sh*t, Gustia isn’t an average Rock Tribe but probably has an existence that’s infinitely close to a Great Legend!”
Saturn said with a grave expression. Even without Saturn’s reminder, just by looking that the terrifying power that Gustia had demonstrated, and the suffocating aura he had emitted, everyone was well-aware of Gustia’s threat level.
Their estimation had been wrong, and the price of being wrong was extremely steep. If he was just an average Great Wizard or even a slightly stronger peak Great Wizard, they would not bepletely helpless and would still be able to put up some semnce of resistance.
However, Gustia was an existence infinitely close to a Great Legend. There was not even a trace of hope for them.
“Pathetic Spell Casters.”
Gustia gently flicked his fingers, and all the Defensive spells on Vic’s body as well as his robes, were immediately broken. Moreover, the immense power even mmed Vic viciously onto the ground until he was treading a thin line between life and death.
“How pathetic.”
Gustia cruelly pressed down another palm. Rael’s entire body roared, and a column of fire shot up into the sky, seeming to almost melt all the rocks around them. However, following Gustia’s palm movement – Rael, Seddon, and Olga were all pressed onto the ground. It was only due to their respective special techniques that they were not immediately killed.
However, they were close. Just another attack from Gustia would surely kill them.
In the blink of an eye, this strongest team of six had lost more than half its force. All that was left was Merlin and Saturn.
“Will you be able to withstand it?”
Merlin nced at Saturn. Saturn shook his head and said, “My mentor gave me some life preservation techniques, which might be able to resist Gustia temporarily, but still, we can’t escape...”
After he spoke, a hexagon-shaped unique casting tool appeared in Saturn’s hand. He pressed it firmly, and used his Mind Power to activate the power within it.
A pale white light orb appeared and covered Merlin and Saturn, which faintly contained the aura of a Maxim.
“Bang!”
Gustia used all his strength to hit the light orb but it only quivered slightly and resumed its original form.
“Hmm? This must be the power possessed by the Legends among your Spell Casters. Although all of you Spell Casters are pathetically weak, those Legendary Wizards are quite impressive. Nevertheless, you’re not real Legends, so how long can you rely on this turtle shell?”
Gustia guffawed, and madly hit the light orb with consecutive punches.
Merlin and Saturn’s expressions turned more and more grievous. They looked around, and there was truly no way out. They had beenpletely sealed in by Gustia. All they could do was withstand the attacks.
The attacks rained down one after another. Regardless of how strong the light orb was, there was finally a hint of loosening.
“No way, there’s not a single way. We miscalcted. We didn’t expect that the Rock Tribe sent such a powerful entity into the Seely Dimension. Other than a Legend, there’s no way to conquer it.”
“Crash.”
Atst, the light orb shattered. Gustia’srge body began to make his way step by step toward Merlin and Saturn.
“Spell fusion, go!”
Merlin’s Fire-type spell and Thunder-type spell fused together in an instant and hurled toward Gustia forcefully but Gustia did not even try to evade. He simply allowed the fused spell tond on his body.
The horrible shockwave generated by the explosion of the spell only managed to shake off some dust from Gustia. Regardless of whether it was Mind ult Spells or spell fusion, none of them had any effect on Gustia.
The gap was simply too astounding!
“Looks like there’s no way left. I didn’t expect that we’ll die at the hands of foreign tribes.”
Merlin looked at the fallen Rael, Vic, and the others who were lying motionless on the ground. They had all lost their fighting spirit. Even if they were not injured, they were still powerless against Gustia.
The gap was too huge. There was simply no way out.
“It’s over. The Seely Dimension will soon belong to the Rock Tribe. Haha...”
The small mountain-like body of Gustia raised his arm and locked his aim on Merlin and Saturn. Apanied by the suffocating aura, his armnded.
