In the infinite Void Zone, a flying ship turned into a beam of white light, and rapidly traversed the boundless Void Zone.

Within the Aurora Ship, Wizard Luce was full of shock, staring mutely at Merlin without speaking. He was far too flabbergasted. He thought it had been a situation of certain death, only for Merlin to display his unusual power, immediately swallowing the two Great Wizards.

Those were two Great Wizards – not Seventh-level, Eighth-level or Ninth-level Spell Casters but formidable Great Wizards!

It was only then that Wizard Luce realized he did not know Merlin at all. He was currently feeling slight pangs of regret for following Merlin in doing such an insane thing.

"Where are we going now?"

Now and again, Wizard Luce glanced at the massive castle behind them. This was Legend Sith's castle, which had been following behind them. It was only a matter of time before it caught up to them.

Luce even suspected that the real reason Legend Sith had not caught up to them yet was due to the contract stipulating that within a month of leaving the dimension, Legend Sith was not allowed to attack.

As he was hindered by the constraints of the contract, Legend Sith had not acted against them yet. However, he was pursuing them stubbornly. Clearly, Legend Sith was waiting for one month's time to pass, waiting for the contract to expire. At that point, even if Merlin was strong, could he overpower a Great Legend?

Merlin was also full of gloom. He had surmised Legend Sith's intentions. One month might seem like a long time but in fact, they had already been flying for over twenty days. In the sweeping Void Zone, a few days' time was nothing at all.

"How far away are we from the Shkedu Dimension?"

Merlin asked quietly. He was currently steering toward the Shkedu Dimension at full speed. Merlin knew that if they headed into the depths of the Void Zone, it would only be to their own dooms because he had no way of shaking off Legend Sith.

They could only escape to the Shkedu Dimension, and take advantage of the regulations there. They would have temporary safety. Of course, this was assuming that they reached the Shkedu Dimension before the contract expired.

"We're about eight days away. We'll have to hurry."

Wizard Luce spoke in dispirited tones. He now appeared very terrified. They had offended a Great Legend and was being targeted, and pursued relentlessly. Wizard Luce had lost his courage long ago. Even when he looked at the three million plus elemental crystal stones in his Spatial Ring, he could feel no sense of joy.

"Eight days should be enough!"

Merlin gritted his teeth, and urged the Aurora Ship forward at full speed as it flew ahead.

"Humph, you only have a few days left. When the contract expires, where else can you run?"

In the castle, Legend Sith was pissed off. Just to deal with two puny Spell Casters who were not even Great Wizards, he had to chase them for so many days. Moreover, because of the contract, he could not act against them yet. Endless fury had stored up in his heart. Once the contract expired, this fury would erupt violently.

…

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. In less than a day, the binding power of the contract would expire. At the moment, Legend Sith was also getting closer to Merlin's Aurora Ship.

"Quick, quick, go faster! We're almost at the Shkedu Dimension. If we can't reach it before the contract expires, we'll be in deep trouble!"

Presently, Wizard Luce's face was drained of color, and his voice was shaking. He was anxious to the maximum. A Great Legend was just behind them, tracking them down murderously. In times like this, anyone would be incapable of remaining calm.

Merlin was the same as well. He was now unable to maintain his cool. He could see the Shkedu Dimension just in front of him but the contract was expiring in a few hours.

Moreover, upon entering the Shkedu Dimension, they would have to enter a building to be safe. Otherwise, Legend Sith would have ways to instantly restrain both Merlin and Wizard Luce without damaging the buildings of the Shkedu Dimension.

"Didimoss, wake up quickly!"

Merlin roused the black cat Didimoss in panic. Ever since they left Arcane City, the black cat Didimoss had been in deep sleep. Merlin did not know how many things Legend Zado had let the black cat Didimoss swallowed to the point where he still had not woken up.

At this time, Merlin could only ask for the black cat Didimoss' assistance.

"What's up? I was sleeping so peacefully…"

The black cat Didimoss was so fat now that he would turn anyone speechless. If it was not for his "cat" features being too obvious, many people would mistake him as a plump dog, based on his size.

Merlin had no inclination to focus on the black cat Didimoss' appearance, and said hurriedly, "Didimoss, we're now in danger. A Legendary Wizard with two Maxims is chasing us. If we still haven't entered the Shkedu Dimension when the contract expires, we'll have to rely on your strength to stop Legend Sith…"

Merlin gave a brief explanation of all that had happened. The fat black cat Didimoss was no longer sleepy but instead glanced back at the castle with an anxious "expression".

"Merlin, you've really stirred up trouble. A Great Legend who had created two Maxims… There's no point in relying on me. I'm afraid only that you can only ask that old fellow Zado to save you."

The fat black cat Didimoss shook his head repeatedly. Although he had reversed his life form, and swallowed so many members of foreign tribes, he was still only on par with an ordinary Great Legend with one Maxim. It was a long way from being on par with Legend Sith who had two Maxims.

"I didn't ask you to defeat him. Just hold him back for a moment. Currently, only you can slow him down…"

Merlin knew very well that although his Darkness Eye was powerful, it was nothing in a Great Legend's eyes. Only the black cat Didimoss could block Legend Sith.

However, the fat black cat Didimoss had become more "human-like", muttering continuously, "That's rather dangerous. Since I've followed you, not only is there nothing to eat but we also encounter constant danger. It's not like when I was with Zado… Although that old fellow keeps researching me, at least I get to fill up my belly every day, sleeping, eating, and nothing else. What a wonderful life that was…"

Merlin was momentarily speechless. The black cat Didimoss had completely turned into a lazy bulging cat. However, seeing that Didimoss was complaining in this manner, Merlin knew that he had agreed to help, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was his last resort. If there was no need for this, Merlin would have hoped that the black cat Didimoss did not have to do this.

"Mmm, the contract is finally expired. Hehe, although you've reached the Shkedu Dimension, ultimately, it's not too late for me. Come back here!"

Legend Sith immediately flew out from his castle, and stood outside the Shkedu Dimension. In the distance, he could see with his naked eyes that the Aurora Ship was flying into the Shkedu Dimension at its greatest speed.

"Boom!"

With a great swipe of Legend Sith's hands, a Wind Maxim quickly condensed into a gigantic hand that covered the area. This hand stretched toward the Shkedu Dimension as quickly as it could.

"Swish."

With a gentle flicker, the Aurora Ship entered the Shkedu Dimension but Merlin and Wizard Luce did not celebrate just yet. Suddenly, they felt a suffocating force all over their bodies, just like a powerful Binding power.

"The contract is expired. Sith has attacked!"

Merlin and Luce exchanged a glance, and could see the alarm in each other's eyes. Considering Legend Sith's speed, and the fact that they had just entered the Shkedu Dimension, they would need a bit more time to reach the closest building.

However, in this brief period of time, Legend Sith would be able to capture them.

"Didimoss, it's up to you now!"

Merlin screamed wildly as he steered the Aurora Ship. Without thinking of anything else, he flew wildly toward the nearest building, and he could even clearly see three words, "Pavilion of Rarities."

It was the Pavilion of Rarities which Wizard Luce had brought Merlin to back then.

"Meow!"

The black cat Didimoss immediately flew out from Merlin's Aurora Ship, and his body swelled up instantly. His gigantic frame was filled with an intimidating force as he roared, "I'll swallow you!"

The black cat Didimoss opened his wide mouth which turned into a massive black hole, swallowing the giant hand of Legend Sith's Wind Maxim.

"What's that? It's the power of a Maxim. A Great Legend is attacking!"

"It's a cat! A cat on the level of a Great Legend. My heavens, what's going on? How can a mere cat becomes on par with a Great Legend?"

Many Wizards stared dumbly at the sky. A large hand formed from a Maxim, and an unspeakably overweight cat were battling fiercely. The cat had swallowed the hand in one gulp.

It was just that the fat cat who swallowed the giant hand seemed to have taken a great hit as if from "indigestion". His body shrunk immediately, and he slipped into the Pavilion of Rarities like a breeze.

"Swoosh."

A Great Legend's figure appeared in the sky, his body surrounded by the vigorous power of his Maxims. In addition, a castle-like casting tool slowly descended above the Pavilion of Rarities.

Legend Sith's face was incomparably stormy. He had thought that victory was in his grasp, that he would certainly capture Merlin and Luce. However, it was disrupted by a cat at the last minute. Moreover, until now, he did not even know what that cat was exactly, to be able to swallow his Maxim.

"This is bad. They've hidden in the Pavilion of Rarities. If they don't come out, I can do nothing!"

Legend Sith drew in a deep breath, then bellowed at the Pavilion of Rarities, "Humph, how long can you two hide? I'll wait here outside, and wait for you to come out."

Legend Sith did not dare to make a move against the Pavilion of Rarities as that would be a death wish. The rules of the Shkedu Dimension were bloodily, and efficiently enforced. No one would go against them so lightly.

Legend Sith did as he said, and set up the power of his Maxim outside before flying into his castle. He really had decided to block the doorway of the pavilion.

Many onlookers were filled with curiosity. They knew Legend Sith. Who knew what others had actually provoked Legend Sith to such an extent? He would hunt them to his dying breath.

…

In the Pavilion of Rarities, Merlin looked at the listless-looking black cat Didimoss on his shoulder, and his expression shifted uncertainly. A Great Wizard of the Pavilion of Rarities stood beside them, saying calmly, "Wizard Merlin, don't worry. After entering the Pavilion of Rarities, you're protected. No one would dare to pick a fight with you here."

Merlin nodded but he was still not completely relieved. Sith was waiting just outside the door. Was Merlin really going to hide in the Pavilion of Rarities forever?

Furthermore, as time goes by, no one was certain that the Pavilion of Rarities would not hand him over.

"However, I'm curious. Wizard Merlin and Wizard Luce, what did you two actually do to offend a Great Legend like Sith to such an extent?"

The numerous Spell Casters in the pavilion were now looking at Merlin and Luce in an inquisitive manner. To provoke a Great Legend to the point where he would resort to such a "vulgar" relentless measure of "blocking the exit"… Could Merlin and Luce, two Spell Casters who were not Great Wizards, really stirred up such a deep-seated grudge in Legend Sith that no one knew about?
