The collision between the two Pandora Demon Abilities shocked Merlin. This was not the first time he had cast Fiery Collapse, but it was the first time he had used it against another Pandora Demon Ability.

The wind howled and dispelled the dense fog within a hundred-meter area, revealing . The white sea of flames seemed endless as it wrapped around the fierce wind. The collision between these two elements seemed to defy all laws of nature.

The collision of fire and wind had become a terrifying scene. In that moment, Merlin had a thought.

Merlin recalled that back in the church of Blackwater City there were religious murals he had seen. These murals depicted the God of Light possessing incredible powers that could expel darkness and punish the Devil.

Could it be possible that the "God of Light" was actually an ancient Spell Caster who possessed the incredible Pandora Demon Ability?

The idea had popped into Merlin's head as he watched the two Pandora Demon Abilities collide against each other.

However, Merlin did not think much of this revelation of his. The Church of Light was incompatible with most Spell Casters. Throughout his years in the Dark Magic Region, Merlin was yet to hear of a Spell Caster that did construct a Light-type spell. Despite Light Element being just another Element and could be constructed into a Spell Model, no Spell Caster had ever constructed a Light-type Spell.

"Huh? Pandora Demon Ability? You have one too?"

Wizard Weiss saw the raging white sea of fire and his face lit up slightly. He too had Fire-type spells and could construct the Fire-type Pandora Demon Ability.

Weiss had also cultivated the Pandora Demon Ability himself and knew the incredible strength it possessed. Pandora Demon Abilities were very rare, even in Ozmu, they were very difficult to obtain.

Weiss realized that Merlin possessed the Pandora Demon Ability and decided that he would kill Merlin to retrieve it. He did not seem the slightest bit worried that he would fail.

This was the general mentality of the Spell Casters from Ozmu. They believed that no one, other than the official members, was as great as they were or would be able to rival their power.

"Wind Storm, form!"

Weiss roared, and the mad wind became even more terrifying. It almost completely crushed the white sea of flame.

Merlin furrowed his eyebrows. He knew that it would be impossible to kill Riesen while Weiss stood in his way.

"If that's the case, I'll fight with all my might!"

Merlin's gaze was focused and soon the Darkness elements on his body began fluctuating to create an enormous force. This was the result of cultivating Darkness Heart. Previously, those who possessed Darkness Heart were called the Minions of Darkness and would be a mystery to many as they possessed terrifying powers and were frightful embodiments of the Darkness itself.

"Dark Light Realm!"

Merlin shouted, and a strengthened form of Dark Light Realm was cast in an instant. Almost as soon as it appeared, Dark Light Realm had distorted the light in the space around Weiss and had turned it into absolute darkness, even mind power could not probe this endless void.

Merlin's Dark Light Realm was now strengthened from the Darkness Heart, even Spell Casters at the peak of Third-level and Fourth-level Mind Power would fall into the illusion.

Merlin had never encountered a Fourth-level Spell Caster and though Weiss was a Third-level Spell Caster, it would seem he had the mind power of a Fourth-level Spell Caster.

The darkness had closed in on Weiss and he could not help but give in to it. The power of the Pandora Demon Ability Wiess cast had greatly reduced, and it collapsed rapidly.

This meant that Weiss had fallen into an illusion.

"Demon Ability, Fiery Collapse!"

Merlin watched as Wizard Weiss' momentum was greatly reduced and cast a strengthened form of Fiery Collapse without hesitation. His Magic Power for the Spell Models of Fireball and Furious Flame was instantly depleted.

The white sea of flames soared and then crashed into Weiss' Pandora Demon Ability.

"Darkness-type spells are strange, but my Mind Power is equal to that of a Fourth-level Spell Caster, even with your Dark Light Realm and Enhancing casting tools there's no way you can delude me!"

Suddenly, a calm voice came from within the darkness. Then, the power of Weiss' Pandora Demon Ability enraged once more and formed an enormous storm.

The two Pandora Demon Abilities went head to head again. Each tried to deplete the others energy. Although Merlin had many Spell Models in his Awareness, he was a mere First-level Spell Caster. This was nothing against the incredible strength of the Third-level Spell Caster Weiss.

Merlin could never deplete Weiss' energy and this was his biggest disadvantage!

"Oh no, Wizard Merlin of the Dark Magic Region may not be Weiss' rival, but the two are attempting to deplete the other's energy. If his Pandora Demon Ability runs out of energy, it would not be long before Merlin is defeated."

The other Fourth-level Spell Casters watched the battle between Merlin's and Weiss' Pandora Demon Ability. It seemed that Weiss had a definite upper hand, given the fact he was a Third-level Spell Caster.

Naturally, Riesen was relieved at the sight of this. He could feel Merlin's rage towards him. If Merlin did not die now, Merlin would become a huge threat.

Now, Weiss was already in an advantageous position, and if Merlin was killed, Riesen hoped that he would be even luckier to be able to retrieve the treasures required to cultivate Fiery Collapse. He did not possess the necessary items and this had hindered his ability to cultivate Fiery Collapse.

Merlin was able to cultivate the first form of Fiery Collapse, this must have meant that he possessed the treasure required. If he had not used it all up, Wizard Riesen could take it and cultivate Fiery Collapse for himself.

Merlin had used Fiery Collapse against Weiss. The terrifying strength of Fiery Collapse made Riesen very envious and his desire to cultivate Fiery Collapse grew more and more intense.

Merlin took a deep breath. He had only used the Pandora Demon Ability, Fiery Collapse, but the battle was escalating to a point that Merlin was getting overwhelmed. Besides Fiery Collapse, he also had another Pandora Demon Ability.

"Pandora Demon Ability, Glacial Finger!"

Merlin extended his pale white finger. It had already been recovered to normal because he had cultivated the first stage of Glacial Finger.

Moreover, this would be the first time Merlin cast Glacial Finger since he had cultivated the first stage!

Merlin stared into the Dark Light Realm. Weiss' Mind Power was truly strong and Merlin's Dark Light Realm was of no use against him.

He could only depend on his Pandora Demon Ability. After all, the spells in Merlin's Awareness were all First-level spells, and Weiss was a powerful Third-level Spell Caster. Merlin was not a threat to him.

"Shoo!"

Glacial Finger did not seem that impressive. It was not as terrifying as Fiery Collapse, but it was still a Pandora Demon Ability and its power was not inferior to Fiery Collapse.

"Ka-chak ka-chak!"

A layer of ice crystals rapidly froze the ground. It spread quickly and finally met Weiss' feet.

Weiss and Merlin were evenly matched with an offensive Pandora Demon Ability on each side. However, Merlin now had two. Two Pandora Demon Abilities against one made a world of difference.

Weiss' Pandora Demon Ability was entangled with Fiery Collapse, there was no way he could pay attention to Merlin's Glacial Finger as well. So, Weiss could only depend on his Defensive Third-level Spell to vainly attempt in blocking Glacial Finger.

A gray light flashed as Weiss cast his Defensive spell. However, the cold breeze from Glacial Finger spread too quickly and froze Weiss' entire body.

Weiss finally felt a trace of fear. He never thought he would die, especially at the hands of a First-level Spell Caster like Merlin!

"No, I am the prodigy of Ozmu! I will not die. I am destined to be a powerful Spell Caster!"

Weiss' tone became extremely sharp, it made Merlin furrow his eyebrows.

"Crack!"

Merlin's voice fell and immediately the layer of ice that enveloped Weiss began to crack open. Merlin's Glacial Finger had not reached its final form, yet it could easily break through a Third-level spell, it was terrifying.

Furthermore, even though Glacial Finger had only reached the first stage, Weiss' spells could not block them. The ice crystals cracked and soon, his whole body shattered like eggshells.

The broken ice crystals fell to the ground and the fierce wind collapsed as soon as Weiss died.

At that moment, the first gleam of sunlight appeared and seeped through the thick fog. A few of the low-level Spell Casters could clearly see the shattered pieces of ice crystals that was Weiss' body.

There was no blood and no tears of loss. The obnoxious Weiss who wanted to destroy the Wright clan had been defeated. The atmosphere was tense, and they gazed at Merlin with awe.

"The Six Elemental Spell Caster from the Dark Magic Region, not to mention a First-level Wizard, and his various Pandora Demon Abilities…He is even more promising than Kleis from the Dark Magic Region. From this day forth, Merlin will be much more famous than Kleis. He could be the first true prodigy of the Dark Magic Region, Abyss Fort, Fire City, and the Ashes Region. We won't have any more issues!"

"He-he, there certainly are some very talented people in the Dark Magic Region. Kleis has left, but now the more promising Merlin has appeared. However, because of today's events, the Dark Magic Region's difficulties will begin."

"I heard that the Dark Magic Region has already given the order to kill Kleis. Any Fourth-level or lower Spell Caster who kills Kleis will be rewarded. I am somewhat expecting a confrontation between the old and new prodigies of the Dark Magic Region!"

The other Fourth-level Spell Casters had witnessed the epic battle and Merlin had come out the victor by successfully killing the official member of Ozmu and Third-level Spell Caster, Weiss. They all felt a sense of relief wash over them.

After all, unlike Ozmu, a Spell Caster organization like the Dark Magic Region did not intermingle with Floating City, it was impossible for them to threaten the Spell Caster clans of Floating City.

Merlin picked up a ring covered in ice crystals from the ground. It was Weiss' ring.

"Ka-chak!"

Merlin used force to crumble the ice crystals and retrieved the ring.

"Who would have expected that from Weiss and Ozmu?"

Merlin looked at the ring and immediately thought of Kleis. The first prodigy of the Dark Magic Region had betrayed them and now turned to Ozmu.

Perhaps one day, Merlin would have to battle Kleis.

"Wizard Riesen, there is something we have to sort out!"

Merlin put Weiss' ring away without inspecting it and instead focused his gaze onto Riesen, who was still in shock.
