There were many special Pandora Demon Abilities recorded in the book found in the Fifth-level freak Wizard's ring. Darkness Eye was merely one of them.

Some of the other Pandora Demon Abilities might not be weaker than Darkness Eye so Merlin quietly memorized those. Merlin had to take the opportunity, if presented, to obtain some of those special Pandora Demon Abilities recorded one day.

From this book, Merlin already knew that Pandora Demon Abilities could be divided into a few categories. Firstly, the more forms or stages that the Pandora Demon Ability had, the stronger it would be. For example, there were seven forms of Darkness Eye so its power was unimaginably great.

On the other hand, most Pandora Demon Abilities, which could not be combined with spells, were the weakest of all. The Pandora Demon Abilities that could be fused with spells were very powerful. During the most glorious era of the Spell Casters, every single one of the powerful Spell Casters possessed Pandora Demon Abilities that could be fused into spells. Their spells harbored earth-shaking powers with little to no effort at all from them.

Of course, there was a final type of Pandora Demon Ability. Those were the special Pandora Demon Abilities recorded in the book, and every single one of them could only be created by Legendary Wizards. They were so earth-shatteringly powerful that they were already slightly beyond the realm of Pandora Demon Abilities. Even those which could be fused with spells could not compare to them.

These special Pandora Demon Abilities did not require any spells as well. However, cultivation of one was expected to be extremely difficult. Otherwise, Wizard Leo would not have had to pay such a great price to cultivate Darkness Eye back then.

"Phew..."

Merlin finished reading the book and finally let out a long sigh of relief. There was still some resentment in his heart as he had not found the freak Wizard's Pandora Demon Ability.

Merlin then looked over to Wizard Bammou. Not only did he have the freak Wizard's Spatial Ring in his possession for such a long time, but he had also taken the elemental crystal stones from within the ring. Therefore, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not take the cultivation method for the Pandora Demon Ability which was inside the ring as well.

Wizard Bammou laughed wryly to himself. He had long known that Merlin would look at him in such a light. Very soon, Merlin would "loot" him again, and he would not be able to do anything about it. Wizard Bammou would have had such a realization after signing the slave contract with Merlin.

Thus, without waiting for Merlin to speak, Wizard Bammou took the initiative and said, "Master, the freak Wizard who has died in the Flame Prison had not left any Pandora Demon Ability behind. Furthermore, I've taken only some elemental crystal stones from his ring to replenish my Magic Power, but if Master requires more Pandora Demon Abilities, I've obtained a Wind-type Speed Pandora Demon Ability by chance. Hopefully, it's of use to you, Master."

"Eh? Just how many Pandora Demon Abilities do you have?"

Merlin was Wizard Bammou's "master". He could control Wizard Bammou's every movement through the contract paper. As a result, Merlin knew that Wizard Bammou had spoken the truth earlier that the freak Wizard had not left any Pandora Demon Ability behind.

However, although the freak Wizard did not have any Pandora Demon Abilities, Wizard Bammou did. In addition, it was a Wind-type Speed Pandora Demon Ability, which was exactly what Merlin was lacking at the moment.

"What Pandora Demon Ability is this?" Merlin asked hurriedly.

"Master, this is the Wind-type Speed Pandora Demon Ability that I'd obtained accidentally. It's called Flash Wind and it comes in a total of three stages. They can all be fused into Wind-type Speed spells. I wouldn't have had been able to escape being blasted to death by the Flame Image after using up all three of my chances at getting past the barrier if it isn't because I've fused Flash Wind into a Seventh-level Wind-type Speed spell."

Wizard Bammou took out a few flimsy but well-preserved sheets of paper from the ring and passed them to Merlin, with his heart aching slightly.

Merlin raised an eyebrow, feeling some sort of impulse. This could be combined with a spell. In addition to that, it was divided into stages. It belonged to the stronger types of Pandora Demon Abilities.

Furthermore, Wizard Bammou had relied on the third stage of Flash Wind back then to successfully escape the fatal explosive attacks of the Flame Image. It was enough to prove how powerful this Flash Wind was. It had to be noted that Merlin had seen for himself how strong the Flame Image was; it was absolutely too much for an average Seventh-level Spell Caster to fight against.

Merlin had been able to clear the third obstacle and defeat the Flame Image because he had relied on the bracelet Wizard Leo had given him, the one with part of Darkness Eye's power sealed inside it. It could be considered a "trick".

Although giving Flash Wind away caused Wizard Bammou to feel rather sad, he knew that he had no right to bargain as a slave.

Merlin opened Flash Wind gently. As he read, his expression became more and more solemn, until finally, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Good. The effects of Flash Wind are extremely good, very suitable for my condition now. It requires a First-level Wind-type Speed spell, and I have a First-level spell, Wind of Freedom, which completely fulfills the requirements for cultivating Flash Wind."

Merlin was fascinated by Flash Wind. However, he still wanted to perceive Flash Wind in person. Previously, the introduction to Pandora Demon Abilities in the Fifth-level freak Wizard's book that he had obtained had caused him to realize that not all Pandora Demon Abilities are powerful. The differences among them are great, so he could not afford to cultivate them hastily.

"Wizard Bammou. Cast your Flash Wind spell. How powerful is it?"

Merlin said to Wizard Bammou. After all, Wizard Bammou had practically cultivated Flash Wind to completion. He had already fused it completely with a Seventh-level spell. He might not have cultivated Flash Wind to a point where it had caused the spell to be the most powerful it could be, but it should be more impressive now.

However, Wizard Bammou grimaced at that moment and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Master, I've been in the Flame Prison for more than four hundred years now. The other Spell Models in my Awareness are unable to absorb the slightest bit of Elements except Fire Elements, so naturally, they can't be turned into Magic Power. It's absolutely impossible for me to cast Flash Wind now."

Merlin contemplated it carefully. It was the truth indeed. There were only torrential tides of Fire Elements within the Flame Prison where no other types of Elements could enter. Wizard Bammou was merely about to complete the construction of a completely new Eighth-level Fire-type Spell after spending more than four hundred years inside the Flame Prison.

Wizard Bammou was also completely unable to construct any spells of other elements in the Flame Prison.

"These are elemental crystal stones. These should be enough for you to recover some Magic Power."

Merlin pondered for a while, before whipping out some elemental crystal stones from the ring. Most of them were Wind elemental crystals which could help Wizard Bammou accumulate some Magic Power quickly.

Wizard Bammou's face lit up. He had just escaped from the Flame Prison, so although the Spell Models inside his Awareness were transforming all types of Elements into Magic Power as much as they could, how could they be faster than if he used elemental crystal stones?

Hence, Wizard Bammou immediately took the Wind elemental crystal and began to accumulate the Magic Power inside the Spell Model of the Wind-type Spell with all of his might.

After approximately three hours, the elemental crystal stones in Wizard Bammou's hands had been completely spent. However, his face had turned rosy red, filled with fierce confidence.

"Master, even though my Magic Power isn't much right now but it's enough to cast Flash Wind."

Wizard Bammou stood up and gave a status report to Merlin respectfully.

"Alright, Wizard Bammou. Quickly cast Flash Wind."

Merlin narrowed his eyes, watching Wizard Bammou with a solemn expression.

Wizard Bammou took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, fluctuation of Wind Elements did not surge up around his body much; it was just like a mild breeze blowing.

"Swoosh!"

He disappeared. In the blink of an eye, Wizard Bammou's figure disappeared. Even Merlin, who had kept his Mind Power locked on Wizard Bammou, had not noticed.

Or perhaps it was not that he had not noticed; Wizard Bammou had moved at a speed so fast that Wizard Bammou's figure had turned up in a corner before the Mind Power could even keep track of it.

"Fast. That's just too fast. So fast that this is practically maximum speed already, isn't it?"

Merlin had felt a flash of light before his eyes. It was not surprising that Wizard Bammou was able to escape the clutches of the Flame Image. After Flash Wind had been fused with a Seventh-level spell, reaching great levels of power, the speed was just too overwhelming. It was so fast that it was somewhat unbelievable and practically hitting the maximum speed. Merlin found it very difficult to imagine what could be faster than Wizard Bammou casting Flash Wind right then.

"Not bad. The power of Flash Wind is not bad, indeed. It's very fast!"

Merlin did not hold back on the words of praise. Wizard Bammou nodded as well, saying, "Not only does Flash Wind move you fast within a small area, it also moves you faster in a larger area. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called 'Flash Wind'."

Merlin was extremely satisfied with this Flash Wind. Wind-type Speed Pandora Demon Abilities were rarer than the others, and even more so when they could be fused with spells. Naturally, Merlin could not let it go.

Other than having a spell that fit the requirements, there was also another small requirement to cultivate the first stage of Flash Wind, which was a great amount of practice.

Different from the other Pandora Demon Abilities such as Fiery Collapse and Fuse Earth, Flash Wind's first and second stages required the corresponding spells as well as training.

The continuous usage of Flash Wind could cause it to be fused even more harmoniously with the spell, which required a long period of training. There were no other shortcuts that he could take.

Merlin was not too concerned about this small problem. It could already be considered extremely easy if he could skip having to search for some troublesome treasures by just spending a little bit more time and energy on continuous training to increase the fusion rate between Flash Wind and the Wind-type spell.

Thus, Merlin stayed onboard the Ship of Nikola and continuously trained for the fusion rate between Flash Wind and the Wind-type spell. Meanwhile, Wizard Bammou spared no time. With no elemental crystal stones, he slowly accumulated Magic Power in his Awareness which was incomparably dry and without any Spell Models.

"Bam!"

A long time passed. No one knew how long; perhaps a month, or two. The Ship of Nikola seemed to have collided into something as the entire ship was shaking slightly. However, the Ship of Nikola was protected by the bubble, so it would not be damaged.

Nevertheless, such a collision had startled Merlin, who had been deeply focused on training Flash Wind onboard the Ship of Nikola.
