Chapter 1010: Magic Mirror!
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
He was dead. The mighty ultimate contender – Doomsday – had instantly lost his life force. Farron wore a complex expression as he looked toward the two halves of Doomsday’s corpse on the ground. In the past, he had viewed Doomsday as his greatest threat. They had fought each other for so many times but ultimately, no one could defeat the other.
However, Doomsday was now dead. This seemed to indicate that even ultimate contenders like them were, at best, slightly stronger than ordinary people. They would still die in the end.
“Blood-eye!”
The Blood-eye in Merlin’s forehead immediately enveloped Doomsday’s corpse. The blood which contained the majority of Doomsday’s strength was absorbed by Merlin’s Blood-eye.
“Crack.”
At last, Merlin’s body expanded by another size. The overbearing force caused even Farron to feel rather fearful.
“This sensation… It feels like the Almighty Beast World’s will?”
Merlin raised his head. After absorbing the energy from the blood of two ultimate contenders successively, Merlin’s body had grown to a fearsome extent. Even so, Merlin did not believe that this was the limit. He felt that there was still room to grow.
The most obvious change after his body had undergone transformation was that he could vaguely detect a frightening will pervading the surroundings. Before this will, even the greatest power was utterly negligible. Back then, Merlin had been directly attacked by the Almighty Beast World’s will. Naturally, he recognized that this was the same will.
“I can finally sense the Almighty Beast World’s will.”
Merlin’s heart relaxed slightly. Only now was he able to ascertain that the path he walked was the right one because no matter which Latitude Cosmo one was in, when one became a peak existence, one would sense that Latitude Cosmo’s will.
If one could not detect the Latitude Cosmo’s will, one’s ability had not reached the required level. Previously, Merlin had worried that he was not a conventional inheritor of an almighty beast bloodline and he had not taken the path of the Supreme Talent. Would he be forever unable to reach the peak of this world?
However, after sensing the Almighty Beast World’s will, Merlin immediately gained confidence that he was on the right path. At this point, he was already much further than many ultimate contenders. Those who could sense the Almighty Beast World’s will must be rather uncommon. At least, even Farron was unable to sense the Almighty Beast World’s will.
Previously, Merlin had wondered if sacred beasts represented the Almighty Beast World’s will? Or maybe a portion of the Almighty Beast World’s will was within the sacred beasts, which was how they became sacred beasts.
This was merely Merlin’s conjecture but now it looked like he was closer to the truth. As long as Merlin continued strengthening his abilities, the secrets of the sacred beasts would not be so impenetrable.
Following that, Merlin cast a glance at Farron and resumed his ordinary appearance, asking calmly, “Farron, the king and the Princess Royal had been kidnapped to the underground secret chamber that housed the Sacred Lion Beast’s head. What are you going to do?”
Farron smiled. He seemed to notice the changes in Merlin’s body and said softly, “Marquis Leon, perhaps this time, I’m no longer necessary for you to handle these guys. So many people are after the Sacred Lion Beast’s head. How foolish of them. Yet, you’ve accomplished something…”
After Farron had spoken, he immediately left. Based on where he was heading, he was going to rescue the king.
Merlin had gone to the secret chamber where the Sacred Lion Beast’s head was once before so of course, he knew where it was. Nonetheless, the place required a descendant of the royal family. After some thought, he headed toward the other palace. There were some princes or princesses. With their blood, he should be able to access the secret chamber.
He casually grabbed some princes and princesses. Of course, some of them knew Merlin and they yelled and screamed about punishing Merlin. However, at Merlin’s level, who could punish him?
Soon, Merlin reached the secret chamber of the Sacred Lion Beast. Farron was already waiting there. When he saw that Merlin had captured some princes and princesses, a wry smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “We have to trouble Your Highnesses. This relates to the fate of the royal family. I humbly request your cooperation.”
Merlin was less courteous, immediately sending them forward one by one to drip their blood. Only a descendant whose bloodline was concentrated to a certain degree would be able to open the secret chamber.
After three princes had dripped their blood, there was no effect. Nonetheless, a princess’ blood was able to open the chamber, revealing a dark passage that headed downward.
“Swoosh.”
Merlin swiftly entered the passage. Following that, with familiar steps, he hurried to the place where the Sacred Lion Beast was. There, he saw a few dim figures which were the Candora Trio-Lords and the Shadow King’s group.
However, both sides were now facing off each other. They were both competing for the Sacred Lion Beast’s head. Although there were still three left in Shadow King’s group, the Candora Trio-Lords controlled the most valuable treasure of the Candora Empire – the Candora Magic Mirror!
With the Candora Magic Mirror, the Shadow King and the rest were at a disadvantage. Currently, the Candora Magic Mirror had already emerged, floating and glowing with a dim light.
“Hmm? The Candora Magic Mirror contains an almighty beast’s will? That’s not right, it must be a sacred beast’s will!”
Merlin’s heart leaped. He seemed to sense a will hidden in the Candora Magic Mirror. Although this will was very faint, Merlin, who could detect the Almighty Beast World’s will, was able to easily identify it.
Moreover, he even noticed that the will in the Candora Magic Mirror seemed to be connected to the Almighty Beast World’s will.
“Farron, do you know of the Candora Magic Mirror’s origins?”
Merlin eyed Farron beside him and asked in a low voice.
Naturally, Farron knew more than Merlin and explained in detail, “The Candora Magic Mirror is the most precious treasure of the Candora Empire that could suppress a nation. It can dispel bindings and of course, wield binding powers. It has various mystical abilities. As for why it’s so wondrous, it’s because the Candora Magic Mirror contains a strand of a sacred beast’s will.”
“A sacred beast’s will?”
Merlin was shocked but then, he looked toward the Candora Magic Mirror again, feeling an unparalleled fervor. He had merged many almighty beasts’ will but the only one he had not merged was a sacred beast’s will.
To evolve and progress one step forward, this sacred beast’s will was indispensable. With this in mind, Merlin came to a decision. Since he had encountered the Candora Magic Mirror, he was determined to obtain it.
“What, you want the Magic Mirror?”
When he saw that Merlin’s gaze was fixed constantly upon the Candora Magic Mirror, Farron asked in a flabbergasted voice. Although Merlin did not affirm nor deny this, his attitude had undoubtedly made his intentions clear.
Farron shook his head powerlessly. “The Candora Magic Mirror isn’t so easily obtained. The Candora Empire is willing to let the Candora Trio-Lords bring the Candora Magic Mirror out because they know that no one will snatch the Candora Magic Mirror as it can travel through space!”
“What, travel through space?”
After Merlin came to the Almighty Beast World, he knew that space here was extremely solid to an inconceivable stage. He had never seen any power that was able to break the space, much less travel through it.
“Could it be the sacred beast’s will?”
Merlin suddenly recalled the sacred beast’s will in the Candora Magic Mirror. Sacred beasts were named so because they had various unimaginable powers.
Based on Merlin’s conjecture, if sacred beasts represented a trace of the Almighty Beast World’s will, traveling through space would not be a difficult task. The Almighty Beast World’s will controlled the entire Almighty Beast World. Traveling through space – what could it count for?
At this thought, Merlin was even more curious about the sacred beast’s will. As a peak existence of this world, sacred beasts were the best way for Merlin to understand the Almighty Beast World.
“Regardless of whether the Candora Magic Mirror is truly that mystical, I must give it a try! I’ll handle the Candora Trio-Lords!”
Merlin drew in a deep breath and shapeshifted instantly. His fearsome force swiftly pervaded the entire chamber.
“Boom.”
In great strides, Merlin rushed wildly toward the Candora Trio-Lords. With Merlin’s present capability, just his force alone was equipped with a suppressive advantage, causing the arrogant Candora Trio-Lords to feel immense pressure.
“How is he so strong? He seemed even more formidable!”
The Candora Trio-Lords’ expressions changed and they no longer cared about the Shadow King’s group. They aimed the Candora Magic Mirror at Merlin at once.
“Magic Mirror, Binding Force!”
“Hum.”
As soon as the Candora Trio-Lords spoke, the Candora Magic Mirror trembled slightly. Rings of light were emitted and an invisible restrictive power enveloped Merlin.
“Hmm?”
Merlin felt his entire body stiffened. He was unable to move forward. The unseen Binding Force had restrained him. With Merlin’s current formidable strength, a power that could bind him, even if only for a moment, was rare indeed.
“I’m afraid this bit of Binding Force isn’t enough!”
Merlin laughed coldly, following which his body swelled again. His overwhelming strength struggled ferociously and the merged almighty beasts’ will in his Awareness snarled wildly too as if unhappy about being restricted.
“Buzz buzz buzz.”
As Merlin struggled, the Candora Magic Mirror started to quiver as if it would split apart at any time. This was the first time this had happened to the Candora Magic Mirror while facing an opponent.
“Oh no, even the Candora Magic Mirror can’t restrain him. How’s this possible? How frightening is he?”
As the Candora Trio-Lords stared at the Candora Magic Mirror which constantly quivered, their faces turned deathly white. Even the Candora Magic Mirror could not hold Merlin back. What else could the three of them do?
After all, not everyone had a Supreme Talent like Doomsday’s Soul of Light which was just right to subdue Merlin. Furthermore, with Merlin’s increased strength now, even Doomsday would be unable to restrict him.
“We must take the Sacred Lion Beast’s head with us. Even if we can’t bring the entire thing, we must take a part of it! Cut!”
The Candora Trio-Lords yelled as one and produced a flattened hand in the air, slicing the Sacred Lion Beast’s head into two halves. Thereafter, the Candora Trio-Lords cried out at the Candora Magic Mirror, “Teleport!”
“Crack.”
There was the sound of breaking glass. Merlin distinctly saw that space was shattered and the Candora Magic Mirror glowed with a dusky light that swiftly engulfed the Candora Trio-Lords. In a flash, they flew into pitch-black space.
Traveling through space – the Candora Magic Mirror was indeed able to travel through space!
“Humph! As for you guys, you won’t be so lucky…”
When Merlin saw that the Candora Magic Mirror had left through teleportation, his face instantly darkened. As he stared at the Shadow King and the rest, his body exuded an icy, murderous aura.
