Chapter 502: The Sky God II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was only silence in the cave. Damsy’s eyes were wide and round, her chest heaving without stopping. She had still not yet completely recovered from what had just happened.

Wizard Fury and Wizard Giado stared at Merlin in utter shock. They had just personally witnessed the spell that Merlin had cast. That dark, sinister force which immediately stripped an opponent’s control over Elements caused them to tremble in fear.

It turned out that the person they always thought was a “burden” was a truly powerful Wizard, who was able to easily kill two Eighth-level Spell Casters at their peak. He must be at least on par with a Ninth-level Spell Caster.

Damsy drew in a deep breath. As Damsy did not abandon Merlin and protected him instead, she knew that Merlin surely felt positively toward her.

Still, she felt somewhat glad – to think that Merlin had concealed the fact that he possessed such terrifying abilities! Not offending Merlin was the best choice that she had made.

“Wizard Merlin, we have to thank you for this. Otherwise, we would have been in danger!”

Damsy smiled at Merlin, expressing her gratitude.

Merlin shook his head lightly, smiling as he said, “We’re a team, and it was only a small effort. In addition, didn’t you guys help me a few times before?”

Fury and Giado hurried over to express their thanks to Merlin too. They were not bad people by nature and had truly done their best to protect Merlin in their midst upon entering the cave. At the very least, he was a qualified team member to them.

Looking into the depths of the cave, Damsy furrowed her brows. “There shouldn’t be anyone in this cave. How come Etru and Omir had suddenly appeared?”

“That’s right, the pair went missing many years ago without leaving any message, yet they turned up here today. It’s very strange indeed. Should we leave first and tell Wizard Ossais about this before we make a decision?”

Wizard Giado had thought of retreating, ready to leave the cave instead of going on.

However, Damsy, Fury, and even Merlin, all jointly objected to this suggestion. Whether it was Damsy or Merlin, they wanted to go deeper and complete Wizard Ossais’ mission.

“Giado, if you want to give up, we won’t stop you. However, if by any chance this was all arranged by Wizard Ossais on purpose, and we retreat just like that, then won’t we forever lose our chance to become Wizard Ossais’ disciples?”

Damsy had even conceived of this bold possibility that Etru and Omir were sent by Wizard Ossais. Nevertheless, after careful consideration, it seemed rather suspicious. No matter how apathetic Wizard Ossais was, he would consider the powers that were backing Wizard Fury and the rest, and would not send them to their deaths so lightly.

However, this was merely a doubt. No one could affirm that Etru and Omir were not sent by Wizard Ossais.

“This... If you all decide to go in, I’ll follow!”

After weighing the matter for a moment, Wizard Giado did not leave immediately.

Merlin began to ponder the matter as well. He peered carefully into the depths of the cave. Two Eighth-level Wizards had suddenly appeared, and the spirit monsters, which should have been there, were suddenly missing. All of these revealed that something strange was going on.

Nonetheless, the stranger it was, the more Merlin wanted to investigate the issue. Moreover, if they went on, they should reach the deepest level of the cave. At that point, they would have passed Wizard Ossais’ test.

With this in mind, Merlin said, “No matter what, the final floor of the cave should be right before us. Despite everything, we need to give it a shot.”

“That’s right, we should give it a shot!”

Damsy and Merlin had agreed to enter the cave, and the other two, naturally, could only nod in assent. Following that, the team of four cautiously moved toward the depths of the cave. However, this time, it was Merlin who took the lead.

...

In the shadows of the underground secret chamber, the black-clothed old man’s face was deathly pale. Through some special method, he had already ascertained that Etru and Omir had failed.

“D*mn it, this is a sacred place. I’ve thought that Omir and Etru can kill those Spell Casters but I didn’t expect that those fools would be so useless, unable to kill those Spell Casters. For the noble Sky God, we can only hold back! I hope that this time will be like the last time where they did not discover the secret chamber...”

The black-clothed old man could only pray in his heart silently. The sacred place was of vital importance. They had used the spirit monsters to conceal the Sky God’s force, evading Great Legend Wizard Yatho’s attention in the Yatho Dimension.

Still, the sacred place was just below the cave, after all. If the passage was discovered, there would be trouble, and he feared that it might even jeopardize the Sky God’s awakening.

Therefore, they could only hold back!

“If the Sky God has awakened, humph, we’ll banish even Wizard Yatho. The entire world belongs to the noble Sky God...”

The black-clothed old man stared at the glossy wall before him, his face burning with fervor.

...

When Merlin and the rest had stepped into the deepest part of the cave and saw what was before their eyes, their faces burst into expressions of glee.

“There are so many spirit monsters!”

“So those spirit monsters have fled here. Tsk tsk, if we kill all of these spirit monsters, what’s the terrifying stage that our Mind Power would reach?”

“I’ve heard that there’s even a spirit monster at the peak of the Eight-level. Before this, we were rather worried that we would be unable to deal with such a strong creature but with Wizard Merlin, it shouldn’t be that difficult.”

It was not just Damsy and the rest who were elated, for even Merlin was joyful. With so many spirit monsters, his Mind Heart might really reach its peak.

Merlin’s Mind Heart was already strong enough. If it reached its peak and entered the Eighth-level, it would become more fearsome. Of course, the happiest of all was the black cat Didimoss. He had already opened his eyes, his shining gaze fixed upon these spirit monsters.

The black cat Didimoss was like a bottomless pit. No matter how many spirit monsters he had swallowed, he showed no signs of stopping. Still, if he wanted to transform into a living entity, he would need to get enough spirits. This number of spirits could only be encountered by luck and was very difficult to come by.

“What are we waiting for? Attack!”

After Damsy had given the command, the magnificent Mind Storm was instantly unleashed. These spirit monsters were crushed to death by Mind Storm without any resistance.

Mind Power could somewhat restrain these spirit monsters.

As Merlin had revealed his capabilities, naturally, he made his move as well. He cast Destructive Flame, and the roaring flames turned the entire cave into a sea of fire.

The black cat Didimoss began to act as well. He immediately swallowed the spirit monsters, and each time he swallowed one, he would feel a great sense of satisfaction. The life force surrounding him became stronger and stronger.

“Roar...”

Suddenly, a deafening roar rang out. From the corner of the cave, a spirit monster with a huge bulk walked out slowly. This spirit was different from the rest as it was much larger.

“It’s the strongest spirit monster. Wizard Merlin, we’ll attack together in a pincer move. We’ll surely kill it!”

Damsy’s face had turned solemn. This spirit monster’s force was majestic, just like an endless abyss. It had surpassed the general peak Eighth-level Spell Caster and was somewhat comparable to a Ninth-level Spell Caster.

Thus, Damsy dared not let down her guard, and was prepared to fight with everything they had.

Merlin nodded as well, and a twist of flame and thunder appeared in his hand. He was already ready, able to unleash the Thunder-type and Fire-type spell fusion at any time.

...

In the dim underground chamber, the black-clothed old man watched as Merlin and the rest slaughtered the spirits in the cave without stopping. Those spirits could not put up the slightest bit of resistance.

The black-clothed old man’s face was as gloomy as a puddle. He seemed to have come to a decision, and suddenly knelt to the ground, saying in a deferential manner to the wall that was glossy as a mirror, “O noble Sky God, your most lowly priest, with no other choice left, can only rouse my lord! The group of Spell Casters above has great powers. Your most lowly priest could not stop them. Once the spirits are all slaughtered, the force of our noble lord would be revealed, drawing the attention of that repulsive Wizard Yatho. O lord, make your decision quick!”

As the black-clothed old man spoke, traces of white light began to spread from his body, rapidly sinking into the wall before him that was as smooth as a mirror.

“Hum hum hum.”

Soon enough, the mirror-smooth wall began to open gradually like water ripples. A god with the size of a small giant appeared slowly.

The god’s eyes were as boundless as the night sky, and the imposing divine energy all over his body was even more majestic. This caused the black-clothed believers below to kneel on the ground in fervor, praying incessantly.

“Is there no way to hide anymore?”

This noble god was the Sky God worshipped by the black-clothed old man. This god had been exiled by Wizard Yatho back then. He was merely exiled but had been very weak at that time. Unexpectedly, he had secretly emerged in the dimension once more, recovering a portion of his strength and eventually became this formidable.

More importantly, the Sky God’s force had not been revealed. Wizard Yatho still had not noticed that the Sky God was hiding in the Yatho Dimension, silently recovering his powers.

“My noble lord, what do we do?”

As a priest, the black-clothed old man was absolutely devoted to the Sky God. He understood the Sky God’s situation. If the god was hastily revealed, it would not be a good thing.

The Sky God gradually stood up. Behind him, millions and millions of beams of starlight were entwined as if the starlit sky was under his control. The god’s might was so boundless that they dared not even think of disrespecting him.

“We’ll not hide if we can no longer do so. My power today is largely recovered, in addition to the divinity I’ve secretly accumulated over these years. Humph, it’s time to seize back this dimension.”

The Sky God’s voice was brimming with confidence.

“My lord wants to seize back the dimension?”

An ardent look had come over the black-clothed old man’s face. Once the Sky God was no longer in hiding, fighting for the dimension openly. As a priest, he could spread the faith far and wide. After this was done, he would become the incarnation of the Sky God among mortals, possessing supreme authority.

“My world has been occupied by Yatho for such a long time. It’s time to take it back!”

Suddenly, the Sky God moved slightly. Instantly, a mystical ripple began to spread outward in all direction. This was godly might, a natural ability of gods, inducing reverence in the soul of living beings.

All at once, the entire Yatho Dimension began to fall into chaos, stirred up by the Sky God’s awakening!

...

“Oh no, the Sky God’s force! D*mn it, since when has the Sky God return to the Yatho Dimension?”

In the palace far away, Wizard Yatho’s face shifted slightly, following which he stood up quickly. He glanced into a certain direction in the distance, his body emanating a terrifying force.

“The Sky God?”

Wizard Mogan was still staring at the image of Merlin and the rest. At the moment, he seemed to have realized something, and his expression turned agitated. In a low voice, he said, “It’s where Merlin and the rest are! Those spirit monsters must’ve been used to conceal the Sky God’s force. Oh no, Merlin is in danger!”

Wizard Mogan and Wizard Yatho exchanged a glance and ripped space apart without the slightest hesitation. They entered the Spatial Passage and traveled through it.
