A Wizard's Secret

Chapter 1056: Abnormal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Void Sea, a tried and true forbidden place, was a place feared by even the top Major Cosmos Absolute Beings. The moment Merlin entered the Void Sea, he could sense its peculiarity.

Originally, a Controller like Merlin had the gift of perception. Any Latitude Cosmos could be easily deciphered with Merlin’s perception ability. So, usually, he would have a clear idea of everything around him.

However, when he came to the Void Sea, it did not contain any energy. It was just an endless stretch of void. Since there was no energy, his perception ability was rendered useless.

Therefore, he could only rely on his visual abilities and see a short range around himself. It was almost like becoming a Normie.

“The Void Sea is truly intimidating! In such a place, how can the Void Beasts survive?”

Now, Merlin finally understood why the Void Beasts wanted to leave the Void Sea. The environment here was so terrible that even the Void Beasts could not withstand it. Hence, they were eager to leave the Void Sea.

“The Void Sea is vast and endless, how are we going to search?”

Merlin asked Tyron who was standing next to him. Tyron did not know either. He simply entered the Void Sea to search for an opportunity, just like the other Major Cosmos Absolute Beings.

As for where the opportunity was, he did not know.

“We’ll take it one step at a time. Hopefully, we don’t run into any Void Beast.”

Tyron also did not have a plan.

So, together with Merlin, Tyron wandered around the Void Sea. The warning that the Void Beasts were dangerous was true. They had just arrived in the Void Sea a while ago but they had already encountered a total of five Void Beasts.

Although the Void Beasts typically traveled alone, as usual, there were exceptions to everything. They once encountered three Void Beasts that acted together. Jointly, Merlin and Tyron were able to chase them away.

However, from this experience, Merlin also realized the gap between Tyron and himself. Initially, Merlin thought that combined with over five thousand people, he was not too far away from Tyron’s level.

Through actual combat, Merlin found out that the gap between Tyron and himself was huge. Tyron was able to fight two of the stronger Void Beasts and still held an upper hand throughout the battle. On the other hand, Merlin was only barely able to fight one Void Beast.

Recently, the number of Void Beasts they encountered had increased. This was abnormal. Although none of the Void Beasts pose a real threat to them, this situation caused Tyron and Merlin to heighten their guards.

“There are more and more Void Beasts. Does it mean that we’re heading toward the Void Beasts’ old nest?”

Tyron said somewhat uncertainly.

The Void Beasts often traveled alone, so no one knew if they had a nest. If the Void Beast had a colony somewhere and they happened to stumble into it, there might be a lot of trouble.

“Teacher Tyron, what do we do? Should we continue walking?”

Merlin asked hesitantly. Looking at the dark space ahead, Merlin had a feeling that it would be dangerous.

Tyron was struggling. Honestly, he wanted to take a look. The Void Beasts had been roaming around for a long time and Tyron also knew about their existence a long time ago.

However, after so many years, their understanding of the Void Beasts was still painfully scarce. If they managed to find the Void Beasts’ colony, they might understand the Void Beasts better and perhaps even discover their weaknesses. This would be extremely significant.

After considering this, Tyron had decided.

“Let’s move forward and take a look. However, we must be more careful. There might be a large number of Void Beasts in front!”

Tyron warned carefully. Merlin knew that while Tyron’s abilities were powerful, if they were surrounded by a large number of Void Beasts, there was no hope of escaping.

Therefore, both of them moved carefully and retracted their aura as much as possible. To be fair, retracting their auras was quite inconsequential because there was no energy fluctuation in the Void Sea. As long as they did not directly run into a Void Beast, they would not be discovered.

Their vigilance paid off. They had just moved forward a few steps when they met several Void Beasts head-on. Fortunately, they evaded in time and were not discovered.

At this time, Merlin found it fortunate that their perception could not be used here. This way, it was much easier to evade the Void Beasts.

Both their speeds were not slow. Soon, they encountered more and more Void Beasts and the frequency also increased. Finally, they could not avoid running into two Void Beasts.

These two Void Beasts bumped straight into Merlin and Tyron, so they could not evade. As a result, an inevitable battle exploded.

For some reason, the usually lazy Void Beasts turned inexplicably vicious. They went berserk and attacked Merlin and Tyron crazily.

It was lucky that the Void Sea prevented the energy fluctuations of the battle from spreading. Otherwise, such a large commotion would have attracted all the surrounding Void Beasts.

Along the way, Merlin saw more than a few dozen Void Beasts. If they were surrounded, there was no way to escape.

These two Void Beasts were tightly suppressed by Tyron. They knew that they could not win, so they tried to escape.

“We must now allow them to escape. Capture them in our worlds and imprison it!”

Tyron said panickily. At this time, they could not allow these two Void Beasts to escape. If the Void Beasts escaped, Tyron and Merlin’s whereabouts would be exposed. In such a dense population of Void Beasts, this was akin to suicide.

Therefore, Tyron could only use his world to suppress it. His world was able to suppress one Void Beast but two would be dangerous.

After all, his natural order was not as solid as Merlin’s.

Merlin thought for a moment, he could probably suppress one. Hence, he nodded in agreement. “Teacher Tyron, we’ll each suppress one Void Beast!”

With that, he wielded the Illusory World. The Illusory World descended and engulfed the Void Beast, suppressing it with tremendous world power.

If it was only Merlin’s Illusory World, it would not be possible but with the support of over five thousand contenders, Merlin was somehow able to suppress the Void Beast. Nevertheless, this exerted a huge burden on Merlin.

“Teacher Tyron, let’s continue ahead. I’m sure the Void Beasts’ colony must be in front.”

Merlin said while keeping the Void Beast suppressed. He turned his gaze on the void in front. Although it was pitch-black, Merlin knew that a shocking scene awaited them.

Tyron was silent for a moment, seemingly suppressing the Void Beast completely. Then, he saw that Merlin could still hold on. He gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, we’ll move forward. However, if we go any further, it’ll be a point of no return.”

“Haha, this is the Void Sea, how can there be no danger? How rare is it for us to find the Void Beasts’ colony? These two Void Beasts’ behaviors were so abnormal. There must be a great secret hidden in it. Anything that could drive a low-intelligence Void Beast to go berserk must be extraordinary.”

From these two berserk Void Beasts, Merlin had a premonition that whatever lied in front was extraordinary. It might be an earth-shattering secret.

Tyron nodded and did not hesitate anymore. Together with Merlin, he flew forward swiftly.
