“Tire myself to death?”

Merlin looked at the white fog around him. Indeed, in the unending white fog, it did not matter how many almighty beasts he had killed. Only by finding the weakness of Farron’s Mirror Talent would he be able to break it. That was the correct way to win the battle.

As a result, Merlin stopped attacking. Although killing dozens of almighty beasts would only consume a little of his energy, that amount would slowly build up. He stopped moving and let these mirrored almighty beasts attack him.

“Bang bang bang.”

Each of these mirrored almighty beasts was incredibly powerful and was equivalent to eighty percent of the almighty beast’s power. That was already extremely terrifying. With these dozens or so almighty beasts, they could easily destroy city after city.

However, Merlin remained motionless. He wanted to know where the limit was after fusing so many almighty beasts’ will. Every impact seemed to be very powerful but none of them caused him any damage. His defense could not be broken at all. He was like a giant mountain. No matter how great the attack, it would not affect him.

“So, I’m already this strong… Perhaps, there’s only a handful left who can cause damage to me in this world. Farron, your Supreme Talent is indeed strong and brilliant, but you can’t hurt me either.”

Merlin revealed a smile between the corners of his lips. He finally knew how terrifying his body was now. Not even high-tier almighty beasts could harm him, much less mid-tier almighty beasts. His current body’s strength was just too frightening.

It was even more terrifying than the top-tier ancient almighty beasts and was infinitely close to the legendary Sacred Beast.

The Sacred Beast was extinct and no matter how powerful one’s bloodline was, it was impossible to become a Sacred Beast. However, as a Host, Merlin continuously fused almighty beast wills. Perhaps one day, he could be a terrifying existence comparable to a Sacred Beast. After all, for the current Merlin, as long as there was an almighty beast’s will, he could continue to improve. There seemed to be no limit.

With no limit, it represented an infinite future and an infinite space for improvement!

The almighty beasts charged wildly toward Merlin as if they would engulf him in the stampede. However, no matter how many almighty beasts gathered, Merlin did not feel threatened at all and simply let them attack him.

He shook his head and said, “Farron, it’s useless. I can’t break your Mirror fort, but you can’t hurt me either. You’ll just end up trapping me here forever.”

Merlin was very calm. He had wanted to test his limits and see how far he could go by fusing the almighty beasts’ will. He wanted to know if he could surpass Farron and the others.

Now, it seemed like this path was completely different from Farron and Doomsday’s. Perhaps no one besides Merlin had walked on it before. No matter the strength, Merlin’s extremely strong body could not be harmed.

“Hoo…”

Gradually, the white fog began to dissipate and finally disappeared completely, and Farron appeared beside Merlin again. Farron’s gaze at Merlin had become somewhat complicated.

“Marquis Leon, saving you was perhaps the biggest mistake of my life!”

Saying that, Farron turned and left the hall without turning back.

“This…”

Both the Princess Royal and the second prince were stunned. They did not expect Farron to leave so willingly. The second prince reacted quickly and shouted, “Minister Farron, how could you leave? The Princess Royal is trying to kill me. How could you leave at this time?”

The second prince’s expression paled. No one on the outside could see the battle between Farron and the second prince, so no one knew what the result was.

However, seeing Farron leaving now and Merlin still in good condition and unscathed, he could tell that the situation was not good. Could Merlin compete with Farron?

Thinking about this, the Princess Royal felt ecstatic. She had never thought that Merlin would grow so fast and become someone comparable to Farron.

“Brother dearest, no one can save you now! Marquis Leon, do it. If those three stand in your way, then just kill them.”

The Princess Royal’s eyes were cold as she said in an icy tone.

Merlin nodded. He did not even reveal his shifted form and instead, merely stepped forward and stepped gently.

“Boom.”

The entire hall began to shake. Merlin’s arm began to shapeshift, turning into a colossal palm.

This huge palm completely enveloped the three full-shifters. Merlin was planning to deal with all three of them alone.

“You’re mad. One against three? You think you’re stronger than Farron and don’t even need to use your Supreme Talent?”

Seeing Merlin using his half-shifted form, the three full-shifters also grew indignant. They seemed to feel like they were looked down upon. Even Farron needed to use his Supreme Talent when going against them. However, Merlin did not intend to use his Supreme Talent.

Therefore, in their anger, the three immediately revealed their full-shifter form and transformed into three terrifying ancient almighty beasts. They roared and were about to tear Merlin’s large palm into shreds.

However, when the palm pressed down on them, they felt a slight panic. The power contained in this palm was so terrifying that they all felt the stench of death as if nothing could stop it.

“No, no, how can someone’s body be this tough? How can someone be this powerful? It’s impossible…”

The three full-shifters screamed mournfully but it was useless. None of them could escape. With one press from Merlin’s large palm, the shrieks completely disappeared and a strong stench of blood filled the hall.

“Blood-eye!”

The crimson vertical eye on Merlin’s forehead shot a beam of light and completely devoured the three full-shifters’ blood. Before this, Merlin did not fuse the almighty beasts’ will and the power of the Blood-eye Dragon had reached the limit, so his body could not grow stronger. Therefore, the large amounts of almighty beast blood in the Blood-eye he had devoured was turned into blood crystals and stored in the body as a backup source of energy.

However, Merlin’s body was like a bottomless pit now. No matter how much energy there was, it could be completely devoured. After devouring the three full-shifters, Merlin gradually felt his body become stronger. However, Merlin did not know to what extent it had increased.

What he needed to do now was use the Blood-eye to devour the blood energy of almighty beasts. At least more than half of an almighty beast’s power was in the blood.

He could also devour and merge some almighty beasts’ will to improve his strength. In short, Merlin just had to devour madly for his strength to naturally improve.

Perhaps when he had reached a certain level, he would not need to be so passive when facing Farron again.

“Swoosh.”

Merlin looked at the second prince again but this time, the Princess Royal had turned around and said coldly, “Leon, come to my palace when you’ve finished.”

Then, the Princess Royal immediately left without turning back.

At this time, only the second prince and Merlin was left in the hall. The second prince could feel his heartbeat. He seemed to have felt the aura of death.

“Leon, whatever you want, I can give you. It’s fine that those three trash are dead. If you let me go, I’ll give you anything you want! What the Princess Royal gives you, I’ll be able to give you more!”

At this point, the second prince only hoped to use benefits to persuade Merlin.

“Oh? What can you give me?”

A strange smile appeared on Merlin’s lips.

“I’ll give you…”

The second prince pondered but could not think of anything. Merlin was a Host who had reached Farron’s level. What could move Merlin?

“Nourishment Pond formulae? I have lots of Nourishment Pond formulae!”

All Hosts hoped to have a Nourishment Pond formula. However, Merlin shook his head. Currently, Nourishment Pond formulae were useless to him. Even with one hundred Nourishment Pond formulae, it might not be as good as consuming a mid-tier almighty beast’s blood.

“I… I can offer you many beauties!”

The second prince seemed to recall a rumor that Merlin and the Princess Royal had a warm and ambiguous relationship. However, Merlin shook his head again and slowly approached the second prince. A heavy aura enveloped the second prince.

“N-No. That’s right, I know where there are lots of almighty beasts’ will. You’re a Host. Rumor has it that Hosts can undergo mysterious changes by fusing almighty beasts’ will.”

Facing the threat of death, the second prince said everything he knew.

“Oh? A large number of almighty beasts’ will? Where is it?”

Merlin stopped and asked.”read comics on our webnovel.live”

Seeing Merlin stop, the second prince, who had broken out in cold sweat, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. However, he still appeared very cautious. He was not sure if Merlin would let him go but it seemed that Merlin was interested in almighty beasts’ will. Perhaps this chip could save his life.

“Marquis Leon, I know of a place where there are many almighty beasts’ will. As long as you let me go, I’ll take you there.”

The second prince tried hard to calm down. He was putting up his last stand.

“Let you go?”

Merlin suddenly laughed. He gently reached out and shapeshifted and instantly grabbed the second prince. The terrifying strength seemed to crush the second prince.

“If you don’t let me go, you’ll never find the place.”

The second prince knew that his hope at survival was to protect this secret to the grave.

“There’s no need to. You’ll tell me yourself later.”

Merlin’s mouth revealed a strange smile. Then, the second prince felt the passing of a life force and his will became groggy as if out of his control.

“Tell me, where’s that place?”

Merlin used very little of his Mind Power. Therefore, only if the second prince was toeing the line between life and death and his willpower was depressed would Merlin be able to achieve results.

Under the control of Merlin’s Mind Power, the second prince’s eyes gradually grew dull.
