Chapter 643: Support

"Merlin? Your disciple?"
Arcane Wizard Setoh looked at Merlin, who was flying over, and a hint of hesitation crept on his face. The civilization war had already erupted, and those below Legend were of no use. No one below Legend in the Spell Caster camp participated. Only the Rock Creatures could form a Progenitor's Body, so some powerful upper-rank Rock Creatures worked together to form a Progenitor's Body and participated in the civilization war.
Therefore, Merlin's appearance filled Wizard Setoh's heart with doubt.
"Wizard Setoh, Teacher Blackfire!"
Merlin flew over, and saluted Arcane Wizard Setoh and the Blackfire Lord. Then, he respectfully stood to the side.
Wizard Setoh's expression sank, and he asked lowly, "Blackfire, what's the meaning of this? This is a civilization war, and what's needed is absolute strength. Only by mobilizing more Legendary Wizards to the front line would we be able to win the war!"
The civilization war was all about the details, especially those above Legend. Whoever had more Legends and stronger power would win the war. There was no other way.
The Blackfire Lord shook his head lightly and said, "Wizard Setoh, our Legendary Wizards aren't lesser than the Rock Tribe's, so why can't we have the upper hand?"
"The Rock Tribe can form Progenitor's Bodies, which are naturally very unfavorable to us! If everyone were proficient in Runology, how would we be afraid of the Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Bodies?"
Wizard Setoh's tone was also somewhat helpless. The Spell Casters also had a similar way to layer their power, and that was by using Runic Magic Circles, which would not be inferior to the power of the Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Bodies.
It was like the Mille Squad. They were comparable to the Progenitor Squad precisely because of the Runic Magic Circle.
Unfortunately, among the numerous Spell Casters, only a handful was proficient in Runology. They could not all form Progenitor's Bodies as the Rock Tribe could.
"They don't have to be proficient in Runic Magic Circles. Wizard Setoh, I have an idea. Form a special team with Merlin as the center. Of course, they must all be at least Legend, and there must also be some Honored Legends. You should know that Merlin is a Mind Power Master. His Mind Power is formless and incorporeal, and can directly affect those Rock Creatures. Even those who formed Progenitor's Bodies would be affected by Merlin's Mind Power."
"Mind Power?"
Wizard Setoh's eyes stared carefully at Merlin. As an Ultimate Arcane Wizard, Wizard Setoh naturally knew the uniqueness of Mind Power Masters.
In the past, Wizard Setoh had even extrapolated the Mind Power system before but even with his strength as an Ultimate Arcane Wizard, he was unable to extrapolate a perfect Mind Power system. It showed just how profound the Mind Power system was. At least, if someone could perfect the Mind Power system, it would definitely be a new system not inferior to the Spell Caster system!
Moreover, Wizard Setoh also thought about how Merlin handled the Progenitor Squad before. The six civilization-level Rock Creature prodigies formed a Progenitor's Body that was equivalent to a powerful Legend, but Merlin had still won not because Merlin's strength could truly be comparable to those Great Legends but because Merlin's Mind Power could directly affect those Rock Creatures.
The Progenitor's Bodies that the Rock Creatures formed had no effect on Merlin's Mind Power.
"It's risky but we can try it!"
Wizard Setoh looked at the Blackfire Lord and grit his teeth, and immediately began to assemble some Spell Casters.
"Whoosh."
Before long, a Great Legend flew from the front line toward Arcane Wizard Setoh.
"Wizard Setoh, what are your instructions?"
This Great Legend was obviously not an ordinary Legend but a powerful Honored Legend.
"Wizard Yaston, I know that you've been fighting a Progenitor's Body for three days and three nights, but you still can't do anything about it, right?"
Wizard Setoh asked bluntly.
Wizard Yaston's expression changed. He was a grand Honored Legend. Although he had only formed one ultimate Maxim, he was still a great Honored Legend, spanning across countless dimensions.
However, now, he was stuck because of a Progenitor's Body. If it were from middle-rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, then it was acceptable but that Progenitor's Body was formed by only sixteen lower-rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures.
These lower-rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures were only equivalent to ordinary Legends. If they did not form a Progenitor's Body, never mind sixteen, even twenty-six or thirty-six would not be a threat to Yaston.
However, now, those sixteen lower-rank Ancestor-level Rock Creatures had formed a Progenitor's Body, and instantly became comparable to a great Honored Legend. They fought for three days and three nights but no victor had emerged yet.
Only sixteen ordinary Legend-equivalent Rock Creatures were needed to pin down a Great Legend. It was not surprising that the Rock Tribe had the upper hand.
Unless the Spell Caster camp had several times more Great Legends and Honored Legends than the Rock Tribe, they would not be able to suppress the Rock Tribe. Otherwise, they would have to remain on the passive.
"Wizard Setoh, those Rock Creatures really are abominable. They're just mere ordinary Legends but with a certain number, they can form a Progenitor's Body that's comparable to an Honored Legend. I'm also helpless against them!"
Yaston's expression was helpless. After fighting for three days, that Progenitor's Body was evenly matched with Yaston. No one could do anything about it.
However, this had also caused the Honored Legend Wizard Yaston to feel aggrieved.
"Oh? Wizard Yaston, I'll give you someone now. Go back and fight with that Progenitor's Body. I believe the results will be different this time."
Wizard Setoh said calmly.
"You're sending another Wizard to send me? Wizard Setoh, which Honored Legend is it? As long as you send another Honored Legend, I guarantee that that Progenitor's Body will be defeated!"
Hearing that Wizard Setoh wanted to send someone to support him, Wizard Yaston immediately grew excited.
"Honored Legend? Wizard Yaston, don't mention Honored Legends. I can't even send out the few remaining Legendary Wizards. Furthermore, he won't be supporting you. You'll be supporting him! Merlin, go with Wizard Yaston. Wizard Yaston will protect you. You only have to give it a try. The Blackfire Lord and I will also assure your safety!"
Wizard Setoh pointed at Merlin, and Legend Yaston's expression changed. His mouth fell open in shock as he stared in astonishment.
"Wizard Seoth, you… you'll send over Wizard Merlin who's not even a Legend? If it were to deal with ordinary Rock Creatures or even the weakest lower-rank Rock Creatures, then perhaps Wizard Merlin would be of help. However, we're going up against a Progenitor's Body that's comparable to an Honored Legend!"
Yaston was also one of the first Legends to reach the front line, so he naturally recognized Merlin. After all, a few days ago before the civilization war erupted, Merlin grew famous for suppressing the Rock Tribe.
However, now that a civilization war had erupted, Yaston did not believe that Merlin would be of any help.
However, Wizard Setoh simply waved his hand. "Yaston, remember. You're the one supporting Wizard Merlin! You have to give your all in supporting Merlin and make sure he's safe. As for whether or not it works, we'll only know after we try."
Wizard Setoh clearly did not want to explain too much, and directly ordered.
Yaston saw that Wizard Setoh had already made up his mind, so he had no other choice. He looked at Merlin and could only nod and say, "Wizard Merlin, please follow me."
Then, Wizard Yaston also nodded toward the Blackfire Lord. He knew that Merlin was the Blackfire Lord's most valuable disciple. With such an identity, Yaston could only do his best to protect Merlin.
However, Yaston did not understand what Wizard Setoh meant. Why would he send Merlin to follow him to go against a Progenitor's Body that was comparable to an Honored Legend? Was that not the same as sending him to his death?
Quickly, the two Wizards reached the front line. Merlin saw a huge silver light at the vast Void Zone. The horizontal line bisected the Void Zone, with Spell Casters on one side and the Rock Tribe on the other.
At this time, the Rock Creatures that brazenly entered the silver light constantly approached the Spell Casters. However, the Spell Casters that stepped into the silver light suffered a powerful suppressive force.
This silver light was the Runic Magic Circle arranged by the Nightmare Lord and the others. To a certain extent, it did help the Spell Caster camp and increased their strength. However, it could not completely resist these Rock Creatures. They were still at a disadvantage.
At the end of the day, it was still because the Rock Tribe's Progenitor's Bodies were too strong. A Progenitor's Body formed by several weak Rock Creatures would instantly become powerful. Although the most powerful Progenitor's Bodies could only be comparable to an Honored Legend, it was enough to enhance the strength of the Rock Tribe several times over.
Thankfully, it was not easy for the Rock Creatures to cultivate. There were not many Ancestor-level Rock Creatures, and there were much less than Spell Casters. Otherwise, the Rock Tribe would be able to sweep countless powerful civilizations just by using their Progenitor's Bodies.
"Wizard Merlin, do you see that tall Progenitor's Body? That's the Progenitor's Body that I've been fighting, and it's comparable to an Honored Legend. We're evenly matched, and neither of us has the upper hand."
Wizard Yaston looked at the Progenitor's Body and felt vexed.
Merlin carefully looked at that Progenitor's Body. As Yaston said, it was formed by sixteen ordinary lower-rank Rock Creatures. However, the Progenitor's Body formed by the sixteen Rock Creatures was comparable to a great Honored Legend.
Merlin's Hallucinating spell had only reached the third stage, and could not plunge Great Legends into the illusion. Therefore, he could only use the Illusory World.
Fortunately, the Illusory World was not split again to refine a Mind avatar. Otherwise, Merlin would not be able to trap Legends into an illusion.
"Wizard Yaston, you must get ready. I might only be able to last for a short amount of time. You have to seize the chance to defeat that Progenitor's Body in one blow!"
"Seize the chance to defeat the Progenitor's Body?"
Wizard Yaston was somewhat astonished, not understanding what Merlin meant. However, Merlin's expression suddenly became solemn. Imperceptibly, Yaston even felt a powerful Mind Power slowly appear.
"Illusory World, go!"
Merlin raised a ringer, and the Illusory World immediately erupted from the illusion bead. Shapeless and without a shadow, it enveloped the Progenitor's Body that was comparable to an Honored Legend without any obstructions!
"Boom."
At that moment, a large number of the Rock Creatures in the Progenitor's Body seemed to be plunged into a strange world. Everything around them disappeared.
"Oh no, what happened?"
Many Rock Creatures immediately realized the danger but they could not free themselves from the illusion. Merlin's Illusory World could confuse even Great Legends who possessed a Mind Heart, much less these Rock Creatures.
Therefore, even if these Rock Creatures knew something was off and that they were in danger, they could not break out of the illusion.
Merlin's expression was solemn as he tried his best to maintain the Illusory World. That Progenitor's Body was clearly unstable. The beautiful Darkness Eye did not have the power to defeat this Progenitor's Body, so he could only turn around and shout toward Wizard Yaston standing beside him, "Wizard Yaston, what are you waiting for? Quickly attack the Progenitor's Body!"
"Right, attack!"
Wizard Yaston gaped. As a Spell Caster, he was not unfamiliar with Mind Power Masters. He already knew that Merlin was using Mind Power but he did not expect that even the Progenitor's Body formed by sixteen Ancestor-level Rock Creatures would be affected.
Now, the Progenitor's Body was unstable. This was a chance to defeat the Progenitor's Body!
"Ultimate Maxim, Destructive Tempest!"
Wizard Yaston became an Honored Legend because of his achievement in his Wind-type Maxim. He immediately used his Wind-type Ultimate Maxim. A terrifying Wind-type Ultimate Maxim covered the sky and swept toward the Progenitor's Body.
