Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The blood-colored vertical eye on Wizard Leo’s forehead stared coldly at the Spell Casters. After a long while, he said, “I’m informing you about a matter today. In three days, all Spell Casters below Fourth-level must pack all your belongings and leave Dark Magic Region!”

“Boom.”

The Spell Casters exchanged glances. They did not know what had transpired that was so serious that all Spell Casters below Fourth-level must leave Dark Magic Region.

Many Spell Casters had stayed in Dark Magic Region for few decades and had never encountered such an incident before.

“Teacher Leo, please tell us what happened. We are all official members who have signed a contract with Dark Magic Region. We are obliged to bear the consequences together should anything happened!”

The one who spoke was Wizard Howl. Wizard Howl studied potions wholeheartedly and has been an official member of Dark Magic Region for a long time. Official members had to sign a contract with Dark Magic Region to remain here.

Some Spell Casters resonated with Wizard Howl. Wizard Leo may not have the patience to teach, but there are still Spell Casters of First-level and above who still appeared in his tower for many years.

These Spell Casters had signed a contract with Dark Magic Region in order to stay here. If Dark Magic Region encountered any problems, they were obliged to unite and work together.

The binding power of the contract rendered them no other choice.

Wizard Leo nodded slightly and his expression softened a little albeit it was still dark. He explained in a heavy tone. “This matter is not something Spell Casters below Fourth-level will be capable to handle. I can tell you guys. In fact, even if I don’t tell you now, this matter will be known sooner or later anyway.”

Wizard Leo paused for a bit and said word by word slowly, “Kleis has betrayed Dark Magic Region and gone to Ozmu!”

“Kleis betraying Dark Magic Region? How is that possible?”

“Yes, Kleis is the most gifted Spell Caster in Dark Magic Region during this few hundred years. He constructed Five-Elemental spells in a short time and is already at the peak of being a Third-level Spell Caster. Isn’t he constructing Fourth-level spell now? Once he is successful, then he is a wizard and can build a tower for himself in Dark Magic Region.”

“Not only that, once a Five-Elemental Spell Caster has become Fourth-level Spell Caster, he can immediately possess the powerful strength of a Sixth-level Spell Caster. Dark Magic Region basically answers all of his Kleis’ requests. How could he betray Dark Magic Region?”

Many Spell Casters have heard about Kleis. In fact, Merlin had heard no less about Kleis lately and he was frequently being compared to him. historical

Kleis was a legendary character in Dark Magic Region. Back then, he had been taken in as a student by the Seventh-level Spell Caster as a Five-Elemental Spell Caster. Moreover, he had only used a dozen years to go from Entrance-level Spell Caster to Third-level Spell Caster. Such a prodigy could be called terrifying.

Once Five-Elemental Spell Caster become Fourth-level Spell Caster, Kleis’ strength was comparable with the Sixth-level Spell Casters. Thus, the whole Dark Magic Region was looking forward to Kleis’ success in constructing Fourth-level spells and becoming a Five-Elemental Spell Caster comparable to Sixth-level Spell Caster.

Little did anyone expect that Kleis, whom Dark Magic Region has high expectations on, actually betrayed Dark Magic Region for Ozmu.

As for Ozmu, only a small number of Spell Casters knew about it.

“Alright, get ready now. You will have to leave Dark Magic Region three days later. An unimaginable war may break out very soon. A war between Spell Caster organizations!”

Wizard Leo appeared calm, but his tone exerted pressure. The blood-colored vertical eye on his forehead was so creepy that it sent a shiver down people’s spine.

A war between Spell Caster organizations had not happened for up to hundreds of years. Many Spell Casters had only read about it from some ancient books.

“Teacher Leo, when will we be able to come back?”

Someone asked carefully with an expectant look on his face. They had entered Dark Magic Region after many difficulties and it was really hard for them to leave.

Wizard Leo thought about it for a while, then replied. “Perhaps in a long time. Keep your Dark Magic ring with you well. We will notify you to return once the situation has stabilized.”

The crowd nodded, that was all they could do for now. The crowd dispersed to get ready.

Merlin was planning to get ready when Wizard Leo suddenly called out to him and asked coolly, “Merlin, pick the remaining two Spell Models quickly.”

Merlin nodded, he thought the same too. Before he left Dark Magic Region, he must first have all First-level Spell Models ready.

“Alright, go get ready.”

Wizard Leo left the tower after finishing his sentence. A strong fluctuation of Wind Element appeared around him. Then, he flew straight towards the few tallest towers.

Merlin did not wait further and headed straight to the Resource Tower. He had to pick the remaining Thunder-type and Darkness-type First-level spells as soon as possible.

*****

In the Seventh-level Spell Casters’ tower, almost all Spell Casters of Fourth-level and above had gathered there.

“Is everybody present?”

An old man with white hair and a large emerald ring on his finger asked in a hoarse voice.

Most of the Spell Casters in Dark Magic Region where gathered here, and there were roughly forty of them of Fourth-level and above. In Dark Magic Region, there were only about fifty towers that were built independently.

“Wizard Heusius, almost everyone is here. Those who aren’t here are still outside of Dark Magic Region. They won’t be able to make it back in a short while. Tell us, where are the people of Ozmu?”

Wizard Leo’s voice was cold and harsh, his expression terrifying. Even these Spell Casters of Fourth-level and above feared him.

Wizard Heusius was one of the strongest Spell Casters in Dark Magic Region. He did not seem to be mad at Wizard Leo for interrupting as his tone implied that he treated him as equals.

“I’m sure everyone knows something about this matter. Our talented Spell Caster, Kleis, has betrayed Dark Magic Region and gone to Ozmu. This is the most serious provocation towards Dark Magic Region!”

Wizard Heusius voice thundered across the large hall like a storm wreaking havoc in it, scaring many Spell Casters.

“You old fool, stop saying useless things. Tell us quickly where are the people of Ozmu?”

The blood-colored vertical eye on Wizard Leo’s forehead blinked slightly. A faint red light shone in it, seemingly unafraid of Wizard Heusius at all.

“Urgh...”

Many Spell Casters were stunned. They were always under the impression that Wizard Leo might be arrogant but never rude. However, this is the first time he actually dared to call Wizard Heusius an ‘old fool’ in public.

Adding on to their surprise was that Wizard Heusius did not seem to be angry at all. Instead, he flashed a smile and said, “Don’t rush, Wizard Leo. Ozmu came in full strength this time and Dark Magic Region is not the only one feeling hasty. In Fire City, two geniuses they had trained have betrayed them as well for Ozmu. There’s also Abyss Fort. I heard their prodigy who almost develop Darkness Heart also went to Ozmu. Hehe. Ozmu may be abominable, but they are not one for Dark Magic Region to fight alone. We must join forces with Abyss Fort, Fire City, Ashes Region, and the others to fight Ozmu!”

Wizard Heusius’ tone was serious and heavy. Obviously, he thought very highly of Ozmu.

Most of the Spell Casters of Fourth-level and above were familiar with Ozmu. There were also many rumors about it.

Rumors said that Ozmu only ever took in true geniuses from any Spell Caster organizations and army. Once a true genius appeared, Ozmu would use whatever methods possible to entice them to join Ozmu.

In simpler terms, Ozmu was formed by all gifted Spell Casters. Its name ‘Ozmu’ came from the pronunciation of the ancient Molta Empire. It meant ‘prodigy’ when written in Molta language.

Nobody knew how strong Ozmu was. Not even its location was known. People only knew that some prodigies from Spell Caster organizations would betray their organization and go to Ozmu every few decades.

The contract binding the Spell Caster was also eliminated by Ozmu’s ‘Earth Purified Water’. Even those large-scaled Spell Caster organization did not have that many ‘Earth Purified Water’ and Ozmu actually used it to clear the prodigies’ contract. Such an act implied how extensive Ozmu’s strength can go.

Although Wizard Heusius was extremely furious to have to face such a threat, he still had to keep his cool and rationality.

“Boom.”

Suddenly, a mysterious rune flashed on Wizard Heusius’ body. He quickly checked it. It was a message sent from a faraway place.

After a long while, Wizard Heusius raised his head and flashed a smile. With a lowered voice, he said, “Fire City, Abyss Fort, and Ashes Region have all agreed to take action. No matter what, we must teach Ozmu a lesson this time. Their hands have extended too long!”

Following that, Wizard Heusius began to make the necessary arrangements. They would only take action until all Spell Casters of Fourth-level and above were all gathered here. This was going to be a tough and extremely cruel war between Spell Caster organizations. Those who are not well prepared will lose the war.

Wizard Leo’s intent to kill was very strong. A black ring appeared in his hand. Staring at it, Wizard Leo muttered softly, “Raydore, my beloved brother. I finally have the chance to avenge you. I will kill those genius Spell Casters in Ozmu with my own hands!”

Wizard Heusius glanced at Wizard Leo’s slightly ferocious expression and shook his head gently. He did not say anything as a sympathized look flashed across his face.
