The black-caped man appeared to be slightly pale and gaunt but he had a pair of eyes that looked like the endless starry sky, full of unknown mysteries.

Merlin exchanged a quick glance with him and found himself almost trapped in the depths of the other person’s eyes. Such a formidable Mind Power shocked even Merlin.

“He’s so powerful. Although he’s considered a Great Wizard, it’s only his elemental fluctuations that are at the level of Great Wizards. In general, the dangerous aura he exudes is almost similar to the Great Legends like Wizard Mogan and Wizard Yatho!”

Merlin was extremely vigilant toward this black-caped man. Earlier, the other person had only looked at Merlin briefly but almost managed to scatter his Mind Power. Even his Mind Heart could not be controlled. The impact on Merlin was too shocking.

“Great Wizard Yatho, you’ve summoned me back urgently. What are your orders?”

The black-caped man bowed his head slightly and asked respectfully.

Wizard Yatho smiled, and pointed to Wizard Mogan beside him. “Ossais, this is Legend Mogan. He came from afar to see you.”

“To see me?”

Ossais frowned and glanced at Wizard Mogan questioningly. “I wonder how I may help the Great Wizard Mogan?”

Although Ossais possessed a powerful arsenal of Occult Mind Spells, and his abilities had achieved the peak among the Great Wizards, he dared not regard any of the Great Legends lightly. No matter how powerful the Occult Mind Spells, they were unable to hurt the Legends!

Therefore, regardless of how much Ossais had cultivated himself, becoming a peak Great Wizard was already the apex for Spell Casters who cultivated Occult Mind Spells. They were unable to level-up any further. For this reason, Ossais had remained in the Yatho Dimension.

Wizard Mogan’s eyes sparkled. He stared at Ossais and said slowly, “Wizard Ossais, I’ve heard that you’re a strong Mind Power Master. My disciple, Merlin, would like to learn some top-of-the-line Occult Mind Spells. If Wizard Ossais is willing to teach him, no matter what are the conditions, I’ll agree to them!”

Wizard Mogan’s tone was very sincere but regardless of how sincere he was, he was still a Great Legendary Wizard. Naturally, there was an unquestionable forcefulness in his tone that no one could deny his “request”.

Ossais took a deep breath and felt a slight pang of annoyance deep in his heart. He was a respectable Mind Power Wizard whose abilities were comparable to the top-most Great Wizards. In the Yatho Dimension, he held the highest position among the powerful Great Wizards.

However, standing before a Great Legendary Wizard, Ossais could not refuse the request. Although Wizard Mogan spoke very politely, and appeared kind, Ossais knew that the authority of the Legendary Wizards should not be challenged. Hence, he could only agree!

Moreover, the fact that Wizard Yatho specially summoned him back spoke volumes of his expectations. Wizard Yatho obviously wanted Ossais to acquiesce to Wizard Mogan’s request.

Thinking along these lines, despite some reluctance in his heart, Ossais nodded. “It’s my honor to be able to work for the Great Wizard Mogan! Sharing top-of-the-line Occult Mind Spells isn’t a big deal but they are still my life work. Therefore, if Wizard Merlin can pass my test, then I’ll fully impart my Occult Mind Spells to him!”

Ossais also made a request. Perhaps, he was being pressured by Wizard Mogan or protecting Wizard Yatho’s reputation, therefore, he did not refuse to teach Merlin Occult Mind Spells. However, he had a request, which was to pass his test.

The top-of-the-line Occult Mind Spells were perhaps insignificant to Great Legends like Wizard Mogan and Wizard Yatho because no matter how powerful the Occult Mind Spells, they would not be able to pose a threat to them. However, these spells were still the life work of Ossais, so he could not impart the knowledge easily. In a way, it was a reasonable request.

However, how could Wizard Mogan be considered an ordinary Wizard? For an ordinary Wizard, it would have been a reasonable request but Ossais’ actions made Wizard Mogan feel like his authority was being challenged.

A Great Legend’s authority should not be challenged by anyone. Although Wizard Mogan had put forth a request to Ossais, Ossais was not allowed to challenge a Great Legend’s authority.

“So, you’re saying, Wizard Ossais, that you’re unwilling to teach him?”

A strong oppressive aura appeared around Wizard Mogan, and his meaning could not be more apparent. Merlin was slightly dumbfounded because in his eyes, Wizard Mogan was a very kind and amiable Great Legend.

Right now, Wizard Mogan’s persona in the outside world was incredibly belligerent. His authority was absolute thus, he did not allow anyone to challenge him. No matter how demanding his request was, it must not be denied!

Otherwise, it was equivalent to challenging Wizard Mogan!

This was truly a Legendary Wizard. A Legendary Wizard who controlled a dimension, and was comparable to the gods!

Wizard Ossais’ face paled slightly. He cast a look at Wizard Yatho, believing that Wizard Yatho would not sit back and allow Wizard Mogan to oppress him in this manner, especially in the Yatho Dimension.

After a long moment, Wizard Yatho slowly spoke, “Wizard Mogan, this is only a small matter, you don’t have to get all hot under your collar. Wizard Ossais has been in the Yatho Dimension for hundreds of years and contributed a lot. Moreover, Occult Mind Spells are truly his life work.”

Seeing that Wizard Yatho had spoken, Wizard Mogan frowned slightly. After all, they were in Yatho’s Dimension, and Ossais’ position in the Yatho Dimension went beyond mediocre.

If he had forcefully mistreated Ossais, then Wizard Yatho might be forced to step in to protect the Yatho Dimension. If that happened, then matters would only become more complicated.

At this moment, Merlin stepped forward and asked Ossais, “Wizard Ossais, may I know what type of test it is?”

Ossais paused momentarily and said in a deep voice, “It’s a test of Mind Power. In the Yatho Dimension, I’ve discovered a wondrous place with some powerful spirits. These spirits can be killed by Mind Power as well as some powerful spells. By killing some of the spirits, they can be refined to increase your Mind Power slightly. It’s an ultimate cultivation ground for Mind Power practitioners. If you can get through the obstacles and successfully enter the innermost layer as well as defeat the spirit that’s comparable to a peak Eighth-level Spell Caster, then you’ll pass the test.”

“There is such a place?”

Merlin’s eyes lit up. Before he could continue asking, the black cat Didimoss suddenly appeared on his shoulder. There was a sense of urgency in his tone. “Merlin, quickly agree to him. These are spirits, so if I can devour some of those spirits, then my half-spirit form might be able to transform into a real living being. This might complete the transformation between spirits and living beings.”

The black cat Didimoss had not appeared for a long time. Even when he appeared occasionally, he would continue to slumber. As a half-spirit, the black cat Didimoss’ desire was to become a living being because only a living being would be able to continue to grow and become a powerful creature.

As for spirits, perhaps some particularly powerful spirit could unlock such achievements but the black cat Didimoss was unable to do it. He was only a spirit of the Runic Magic Circle which had unexpectedly gained a shade of life. He became a half-spirit but lost the Runic Magic Circle. The black cat Didimoss seemed to have lost his foundation and would remain like this forever.

In fact, as time went by, he would gradually weaken, and finally, his spirit would dissipate. Judging from the deep continuous slumber of the black cat Didimoss, he must be trying to delay the dissipation of his spirit. Hence, it was apparent that the black cat Didimoss was in grave danger.

“Didimoss, if you devour the spirits, there’s hope for you to become a living being?”

Merlin asked uncertainly.

“Yes, the only way for me now is to devour the spirits. Otherwise, in a few years’ time, I’ll disappear… Or in your language, I’ll die!”

The black cat Didimoss had helped Merlin a lot, not to mention that the journey from the Kingdom of Blackmoon to the Void Zone, and then the unknown dimension was undertaken by both Merlin and the black cat Didimoss only.

Naturally, Merlin would not sit back and allow the black cat Didimoss to wither away.

Thinking about this, Merlin decided in his mind. He turned to Wizard Mogan and said, “Teacher Mogan, I’m willing to participate in Wizard Ossais’ test!”

Wizard Mogan stewed for a moment and gazed coldly at Ossais. “Since Merlin has agreed, then you’ll arrange the test as soon as possible.”

“Great Wizard Mogan, I’ll arrange it now. Wizard Merlin, please come with me.”

Thereafter, Ossais immediately turned and walked out of the palace. Merlin gave a slight bow to Wizard Mogan and Wizard Yatho, and followed Ossais out.

In the palace hall, Wizard Mogan’s face was slightly sullen. Wizard Yatho smiled and said, “Mogan, don’t worry. Even if Merlin doesn’t pass the test, I’ll personally persuade Ossais to impart some Occult Mind Spells to Merlin.”

Wizard Mogan glanced at Wizard Yatho. He knew that if Merlin really failed to pass the test, Wizard Yatho would not allow Merlin to return empty-handed as a courtesy to him. However, in that case, he was afraid that Ossais would only impart some of the ordinary Occult Mind Spells to Merlin.

This was what Wizard Mogan could not accept!

Nevertheless, this was the Yatho Dimension. Even Wizard Mogan could not interfere in its matters. Therefore, he could only propose to Wizard Yatho. “Yatho, you’re the master of this dimension, so you should be able to see all of Merlin’s movements, right? I would like to see him being tested as well. What kind of test is it?”

Wizard Yatho nodded. “That is of course. If Merlin encounters any danger, I’ll immediately act and will not allow him to be harmed.”

As he spoke, Wizard Yatho flicked a finger inside the hall. Suddenly, in the air, an image appeared. It was an image of Merlin and Ossais on their journey.

With this image, Wizard Mogan was able to observe Merlin’s situation. Hence, in the hall, Wizard Mogan, Wizard Yatho, and Asher stared at the image quietly, paying close attention to Merlin’s test.
