Deva Wizard: The Great Xian in King Arthur's Realm

“It is you again, mad dog.” Said Merlin exhaustedly.

Exactly, it was Milazz, the Twisted Lazz; he, again, followed Merlin. That face of a lunatic person was coming towards him.

The smile, the laugh, and those eyes wide open together created insanity.

Merlin did not really want to get involved with this mad dog; he leaped up very quickly.

It did not take long before he left Milazz further and further behind and arrived at the first ascent to the second floor.

To cut the annoyance regarding the mad dog, Merlin decided to continuously go up to the next floors. The higher he got, the more magical pressure there would be. But he was surprised because even though he could feel the increased amount of magical pressure, he was not affected at all.

That was different from many people he saw on the way. Merlin could see their grimaces; the magical pressure affected them. The denser the magical pressure, the harsher their journeys became.

Merlin could overtake a lot of people until he reached the tenth floor.

Using his magical alphabet to check the maze on this level, he found that there was a small secret room hiding in; and this room gave off a bizarre energy aura.

Merlin went straight to that spot. Arriving there, he found an old wall; it looked pretty normal. If ordinary people came across this, they would not give it much attention.

But that was not Merlin who examined it with a magical alphabet. He sensed this secret room just by looking with his Lemegeton Eye; shortly, he learned about their mechanism.

Merlin moved the two tiny stones on the wall; suddenly, the secret room’s door opened.

Looking inside, Merlin found tons of magical-seal stones.

Before this, he learned about the test’s details; the magical-seal stones were its objectives. They were the pieces that could make each person’s magical cloak. And these stones existed from the tenth floor.

Wasting no time, Merlin picked one up and not more because no matter how many he brought out, he would be able to use only one of them anyway. And if he got out of this island, the stocked stones would also disappear.

These magical-seal stones looked like clear crystals; their insides shone brightly like diamonds. They were magical objects that could combine with human bodies and turn into magical cloaks.

Wearing a magical cloak gotten from the tenth floor, magic practitioners would be able to increase their magical powers’ damage by ten percent. Undoubtedly, if they could find the stones on the higher floors, the damage percentage would be higher accordingly.

In the past five hundred years, there was a person who could climb up to the twentieth floor and receive the magical cloak with twenty percent-increased power.

In the recorded history, nobody had ever gotten to the thirty-eighth floor. And if someone ever did, it would be unimaginable how powerful of a cloak that person would get.

Merlin stopped at that secret stone storeroom for a while but then he heard a familiar, unique laugh.

Eeeek Eeek Eeek!

“That mad dog is following me again.” Merlin almost cursed when he found out his follower was Milazz.

How was he so fast?

Merlin did not waste much time thinking about it; he leaped out of there immediately.

And on the way, he was figuring out how that mad dog got up to this floor so quickly; not only that, he could always find Merlin so precisely that it seemed strange.

Although the mad dog could endure these magical pressures, the maze on each floor was supposed to give him much harsher hardship. But he could catch up with Merlin so fast.

Realizing that something was off, Merlin stopped and checked his body.

After a while, he found that the bottom edge of his cloak was burning with blue flames. They did not spread to the other parts of his cloak; staying on his cloak like dog fleas, they were undying.

“So, it is his spying magic.” Said Merlin while smirking then continued,

“Nice, nice. It seems he’s kind of smart after all. For the sake of your brain, I will let you be a flea sticking on me. Let’s see how long your skills will let you keep up with me.”

Merlin did not put out that fire; he left it burning the cloak’s hem just the same.

The boy leaped ahead with a smile on his face; he was thinking about doing something fun with Milazz.

Then he kept going up without taking a rest. It was not that he never thought about resting but being a stem builder, he did not need to take a break to eat or drink anything. Being a practitioner had really helped him.

After some time, he had reached the fifteenth floor; the magical pressure was even denser. And being on this floor made his breathing harder and his movement obviously slower.

The magical power started to affect him on this floor.

“It was no surprise that a lot of people could not go past floor twenty-five,” said Merlin.

His traveling was noticeably slower. With its difficulty, he spent so much time on the fifteenth floor; and finally, he got to the sixteenth. The magical pressure was even heavier; it made him extremely uncomfortable.

As if he was in the water, Merlin was moving with difficulty on this floor. It was inert and sluggish.

Even more so, Merlin also felt that Milazz, the loyal dog flea, was following him obstinately. That guy was quite hardy and tolerant.

Following Merlin so closely to this floor, that man was pretty great.

On the second day, Merlin was on the eighteenth floor; Milazz, the Dog Flea, was still close behind him.

Merlin could no longer run on this floor; barely walking was already hard enough. He felt like he was walking through an erratic flood right now. The strong, intense magical power made it hard for him to balance.

The same went for Milazz; it seemed like he was clenching his tenth fighting this power. That twisted face looked bitter; his body seemed like it was about to explode.

This was the real test of the Great Magic Tower.

Although this test’s obstacles were merely the mazes and the magical pressure, on the higher floors, they would have to face the true brutality. And this was the Great Magic Tower’s cruel test.

Seeing Milazz’s painful face, Merlin shouted,

“You crazy dork! Go down! If you push yourself harder, you will die and return with nothing.”

Because of their odd bond between them, Merlin decided to warn Milazz.

Ereeek…Ereek…Eeek

Hearing Merlin’s warning, Milazz laughed in his weird voice. It was not that he did not want to talk to Merlin but he just could not. Saying a word was extremely hard so he could only laugh bitterly.

If Milazz forced it so hard that his body disintegrated, he would be sent out of the tower right away. Moreover, he would lose the stone he had gotten and half of the magical power he had been cultivating.

Dying in this tower was considered a cruel thing for a wizard.

“Such a stubborn flea. Go back before you lose it all!”

Finally, he had to help Milazz, raising his hand and throwing Xian vital essence at his body.

BAMN!

Merlin did not have any bad intentions in doing that. After receiving that palm attack, Milazz’s body flew back to the entrance of this floor. He was floating like a kite with a broken string.

“That was all I could do to help you. And if you die after this, it is your business.” Having said that, Merlin continued his walk.

Because of this massive amount of magical pressure, walking was profoundly hard for Merlin. This was only the eighteenth floor; clearly, he would not be able to get to the thirty-eighth floor in five days.

Almost five hours had passed, and Merlin was still unable to get to the ascent of the eighteenth floor to the next. But luckily, he had already reaped this floor’s magical-seal stone. With this dense magical pressure, he could not walk as fast as before. It was too dense as if he was walking in a sticky flushing river.

Walking up to the next floor, he would have to encounter even denser magical pressure.

Merlin was thinking, being stuck in the reverie for a few breaths.

“Dense! Right! Density!” It seemed like he had just figured something out.

“That time, this is just like that time when I was stuck in the black-magical-alphabets barrier.”

Like a light shining down on Merlin, he just realized that the thing that helped him get out of the barrier was the “Lemegeton Eye.”

Wasting no time, Merlin immediately sealed the magical power at his right eye.

And when that eye was fed with magical power, there came the mysterious energy.

As expected, when Lemegeton Eye received the magical power from Merlin, there was suddenly a strange magical pressure covering his body.

Merlin’s body now was glowing and full of mystical auras.

Just after that energy came out, Merlin was able to move freely as he wished. The magical pressure of this tower no longer had any effects on him.

These magical pressures were sterile facing Lemegeton’s power.
