“When did this dimension appear?”

Merlin and Maya exchanged a look. They had been engrossed in their battle just now, so they did not notice that a floating dimension had appeared.

Most dimensions were stationary inside the Void Zone unless a strong contender employed some special tactics to move a dimension. Alternatively, the dimension could be made to float around like the Glorious Land, which was sealed by the three great Arcane Wizards and was always on the move.

However, in order to make a dimension float around aimlessly, the minimum power level required was of an Honored Legend. In fact, it would be taxing even for an Honored Legend.

Moreover, Merlin and Maya sensed an extraordinary aura emanating from the purple dimension. It had also plunged them into inexplicable sorrow.

“Rock Tribe?”

Merlin narrowed his eyes when he saw the silhouettes of the Rock Creatures inside the purple dimension. The current relations between the Rock Tribe and the Spell Caster civilization were frosty at best. After all, the civilization war had just ended.

“This dimension is peculiar. Let’s call for a temporary ceasefire,” Maya said with a grave expression.

To be honest, there was no bad blood between him and Merlin. All he wanted was to preserve a living space for the Golden Light Tribe.

A single dimension might be considered insignificant to the Spell Caster civilization, but it held great significance to the Golden Light Tribe. It was their foundation. Since Maya saw that Merlin had become an Honored Legend, he knew it would be impossible to snatch this dimension back. Hence, he might as well try his chance on this purple dimension.

Swish! Swish!

Merlin did not answer, but his actions had conveyed his thoughts clearly. He flew towards the purple dimension.

Two figures flew into the purple dimension at high speed. Once they were inside, the sorrow in their hearts grew even more intense.

“Titus, what is happening? Is there someone whose Mind Power is stronger than mine?”

Merlin could not control this sense of ‘sorrow’ in his heart. This belonged within the ambit of Mind Power, so Merlin wanted to question Titus who was hiding inside the illusion bead.

Titus still did not answer, and Merlin did not continue to call upon him. Merlin and Maya were still a bit wary of one another. Nevertheless, the first thing they spotted when they were inside the dimension was the Rock Tribe and the contenders from other foreign tribes.

“Rock Tribe!”

Merlin’s expression turned icy. He had no good things to say about the Rock Tribe. These few Rock Creatures appeared quite extraordinary, and they were comparable to a three- or four-Maxim Legend.

There was still a considerable gap between them and Merlin.

“Confine!”

Merlin stretched out a finger, and his ultimate Maxim transformed into Maxim Chains and confined these Rock Tribe contenders securely. No matter how much they struggled, it was futile.

“Tell us, how did this dimension appear?” Merlin asked icily.

The Rock Creatures exchanged helpless looks with one another. Whether it was Merlin or Maya, both their auras were bloodcurdling. The Rock Creatures knew that they were not their worthy opponents.

Thus, they told Merlin and Maya everything they knew.

“We don’t know how this dimension appeared either. But we received news that a purple dimension had appeared in the boundless territory a few months ago and that it was very mysterious and might contain some secrets. So, a few of us joined forces and came to occupy this dimension by force. But now, we ran into you…”

The faces of these Rock Creatures were filled with bitterness. They were already so close to success. If the purple dimension had not headed in this direction and bumped into Merlin and Maya, they might have even succeeded.

“What did you find?” Merlin continued to interrogate.

“We just entered this dimension. The first thing we did was to get rid of the foreign tribe contenders who had entered this dimension earlier. Hence, we haven’t discovered that much… However, there is a very conspicuous tower that definitely looks quite important.”

“Tower?”

Merlin looked up and saw a soaring tower in the distance. It was also purple in color. These Rock Creatures were indeed quite unlucky. At first, they thought that they would be able to dominate this peculiar purple dimension for themselves, so they exiled the foreign tribe contenders in order to explore the secrets of this dimension. They did not expect to run into encountered Merlin and Maya these two Honored Legends.

There were plenty of Legends inside the boundless territory, but Honored Legends were relatively rare. They actually encountered two Honored Legends in one go but did not get anything in return.

Merlin and Maya immediately drove the Rock Creatures out of the dimension and began to fly towards the tower.

Soon, both of them came before the tower. There were some tracks left behind by the foreign tribe contenders, but some of them had been turned into dead bodies.

“There’s danger here.”

Merlin glanced at the dead bodies on the ground. It was evident that they had just died not too long ago. These foreign tribe remains were actually at the level of ordinary Legends but all of them had been unwittingly killed. It showed how dangerous this place was.

In addition, the danger was unknown!

“Maya, let’s swear on the Ultimate Order. We can’t attack each other before we leave this dimension. We should join forces to investigate this dimension. What do you think?”

Merlin glanced at Maya. Actually, Merlin had not lowered his guard since they entered this dimension and was observing Maya’s every move.

Surely, the same was true for Maya. Both of them were wary of each other. Such attitudes were potentially hazardous when faced with a peculiar dimension filled with danger.

Therefore, Maya agreed readily when Merlin made the suggestion to swear an oath.

After they had both sworn an oath on the Ultimate Order, they cast their gazes back to the tower. They were only at the outermost part of the tower right now. The multiple rings of purple light were especially rich.

The dead bodies on the ground were also being bathed in the purple light. Thus, Merlin and Maya were very careful not to step inside the rich purple light.

Hum…

The moment Merlin and Maya stepped inside, the purple light flashed quickly and formed a prison cage, entrapping Merlin and Maya.

“We can’t leave?”

Merlin wielded his Maxim Chains and struck the purple light forcefully to no avail. The purple light could not be removed no matter how he attacked with its ultimate Maxim.

At the same time, Maya was faced with a similar situation. No matter how hard he tried to attack the purple light with his golden river and despite his overwhelming suppression powers, the purple light simply grew even richer than before. It was impossible to destroy.

“I guess we can only move forward. This place is indeed bizarre!”

Merlin and Maya exchanged a look. The two of them were still wary of one another before because they did not know of the danger of this place.

They could sense the danger now. They were unable to break open the purple light even with their current abilities. Hence, they decided to set aside their previous grudges. It would not mean anything if they were to join forces now.

“Careful, I can sense danger nearby!”

Merlin’s senses were remarkably acute, especially the discernment of his Mind Power. He could sense that danger was looming ahead.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, tiny little sprites emitting a purple light emerged from the door of the tower. They looked humanoid but were the size of insects. They also had wings like insects.

Once the little sprites appeared, even Maya felt the danger and heightened his guard.

Merlin grasped the Maxim Chains in his hands and confined a few little sprites. He tried to use his hand to crush them, but it was useless. These little sprites seemed non-existent.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The little sprites chirped stridently, causing Merlin to feel like the world was spinning, and he began to feel uncharacteristically exhausted. He immediately regained consciousness, this was almost identical to Hallucinating spells.

“What exactly are these little sprites?”

A look of astonishment appeared on Merlin’s face. He realized that Maya was already slightly drowsy. Merlin also finally understood how the dead bodies of foreign tribe contenders underneath their feet got there. Their deaths had most probably been caused by these strange little sprites.

“Maya, wake up, this is an illusion!”

Merlin’s Mind Power poked at Maya harshly, and it had proved to be effective. Maya soon regained consciousness, and his face filled with disbelief.

As an Honored Legend existence, Maya almost could not believe that he was suppressed by these little feeble-looking sprites.

“These are Grudge Sprites! They are grudges or grievances that created after the death of a mighty existence. They remain and eventually assume the form of Grudge Sprites!”

It was Maya who decoded the identity of these little sprites in the end. They were Grudge Sprites, a type of spirit being. However, even the death of an Honored Legend would not be able to give birth to such a fearsome cluster of Grudge Sprites.

The fact that such fearsome Grudge Sprites were born in this dimension meant that a truly powerful existence had died in this place.

“Our powers and spells are useless when dealing with Grudge Sprites. We can only use the power of consciousness to attack them.”

Maya wrinkled his forehead. He was from the Golden Light Tribe, so he had some sort of consciousness. Nevertheless, his consciousness was not very powerful like most foreign tribes. Faced against such formidable Grudge Sprites, it was already hard enough for him to protect himself, what more to launch an attack.

“Power of consciousness? Isn’t that similar to Mind Power?”

Merlin’s heart ticked. Power of consciousness was basically the same as Mind Power. The other foreign tribes might not have any distinctive “Mind Power Masters.” Only the Spell Caster civilization had given birth to Mind Power Masters.

However, Mind Power was quintessential in order to fight these Grudge Sprites.

Arriving at the thought, Merlin mobilized his tremendous Mind Power and employed the easiest technique.

“Mind Storm!”

A terrifying Mind Storm exploded inside this purple region and swept towards the chirping Grudge Sprites.
