Chapter 733: Seizing I

The four insect mothers also seemed to be aware of the crisis, and their huge bodies began to give off waves of distorted light. Even Maxims could be broken down by this light.

“Be careful, this is the insect mother's shockwave. It's extremely bizarre and can rival a Maxim formed by a Great Legend.

Wizard Franz warned. It was not his first time dealing with these insects, so he was very familiar with the methods insect mothers used.

“Buzz.”

The insect mothers' shockwave collided with the Maxims of the four Legendary Wizards, and both sides were almost equally matched. The insect mother let out a shrill sound to wake up the insect army.

However, those insects were all trapped by Merlin's Hallucinating spell and could not wake up at all. Without the insect army, the insect mother lost a large portion of its forces, and became agitated.

However, Franz and the four other Legendary Wizards seized the opportunity well and immediately gained the upper hand.

Looking at the battlefield situation, he found that things were in their favor, and that he no longer had to act. The four Legendary Wizards were enough to suppress and deal with the four insect mothers.

“Haha, die.”

The strongest of them, Wizard Ducas, possessed two Maxims hence his speed was also the quickest. The two Maxims searched over and viciously hit an insect mother.

Immediately, the insect mother was covered in a spider web with cracks spreading across it. Even the insect mother revealed disgusting green blood.

“Bang.”

Finally, Ducas used his two Maxims again and continued to attack, finally killing one insect mother. This insert mothers did not have immortal characteristics like G.o.ds and Legendary Wizards nor did they have divinity or Maxims. The most important thing to them was their bodies.

Once their bodies were destroyed, it represented their complete death.

Then, Merlin saw a shocking scene. As soon as one insect mother died, a large amount of the insects he trapped suddenly let out anguished wails, and died one after another. They were completely uninjured but they no longer had any life force.

“They all died.”

Wizard Ducas' voice sounded again, and Merlin raised his head to see that the remaining three insect mothers had already fled. When one of the insect mothers died, they finally realized that they could not defeat Franz and the others, and chose to leave voluntarily.

“What about all these insects left?”

Merlin frowned. The insect mothers had left but these insects were still here and trapped within his Hallucinating spell.

“Haha, the Golden-winged Insect Tribe bodies are strong. They're considered good. They can be refined into some important materials for potions and casting tools. How about this? I'll buy all these insects here for 20 million elemental crystal stones. How does that sound?”

Merlin was slightly surprised. However, upon further consideration, these were the famous Golden-winged Insects, which were usually very difficult to capture. With the insect mother present, these insects were fearless of death. It was impossible to capture them.

The rarer something was, the greater its value. Such a large amount of insects would certainly fetch a good price, not just 20 million elemental crystal stones. However, Merlin could not be bothered. Including the reward from before, a total of 30 million elemental crystal stones was still very good.

“Alright, I'll leave them to Wizard Franz.”

Merlin nodded and agreed. Franz smiled and with a wave of his hand, the numerous insects were all kept into his Spatial Ring.

Returning to the Franz Dimension, Franz handed the elemental crystal stones he had prepared to Wizard Ducas and the others. Merlin received a total of 30 elemental crystal stones for the Golden-winged Insect Tribe from before.

After receiving the elemental crystal stones, the contract was automatically released. Franz smiled and said, “Wizard Merlin, you've just arrived at the boundless territory. What are your plans for today?”

Not only Franz but the others also looked at Merlin. They had originally looked down upon Mind Power Masters.

However, Merlin's Hallucinating spell earlier was just too shocking. Great Legends like them had already lived for hundreds of thousands of years, so they naturally knew what it meant.

If several Wizards worked together and a.s.sisted Merlin's Hallucinating spell, its strength would be increased several times. Therefore, they had already discussed with each other and were ready to join forces.

“Does Wizard Franz have any thoughts?”

Merlin did not give a direct answer and instead looked at Franz curiously. The other party seemed to have some ideas.

“Well, we've just discussed with Wizard Ducas and the others, and felt that if we all work together to combine with Wizard Merlin's Hallucinating spell, its power would increase several times in an instant. Naturally, we'll be able to occupy more dimensions and form a powerful force. What are your thoughts about this?”

“Work together?”

Merlin was slightly stunned. He had not considered this possibility. However, the strength of these Wizards was still weak. The strongest among them, Ducas, only had two Maxims.

If Ducas and the others knew what Merlin was currently thinking, they would feel depressed. Great Legendary Wizards like themselves were rejected by Merlin, a Great Wizard, for being too weak.

“Wizard Merlin, you'll have the priority for the first dimension we occupy. How does that sound?”

Franz hurriedly added as if feeling that the conditions were not good enough.

Merlin glanced at Franz. If these Wizards were stronger and were all Spell Casters with three to four Maxims, then teaming up would be quite terrifying. Merlin would not hesitate to team with these Wizards.

However, Merlin's strength now was second only to that of Honored Legends. Teaming up with these Wizards would be a burden and was not beneficial to him at all. Whether it was the Spell Caster civilization or the Void Zone, this was still the real world.

Therefore, Merlin resolutely refused.

“Wizard Franz, I'm afraid I can't agree to that. I'll be wandering alone.

“It's very dangerous to wander alone. Would you like to reconsider?”

There was some disappointment on Franz's face.

“No, I've thought it over. However, I have something to ask of Wizard Franz. In the boundless territory, which areas have more masterless dimensions?”

“Masterless dimensions?”

Although Franz was disappointed, he quickly adjusted his mood. After thinking carefully, he shook his head helplessly. “There are indeed many dimensions in the boundless territory. However, you need to go very deep. Those places aren't like here, where the Spell Caster civilization is nearby. Spell Casters don't have it good there.”

Others may not have understood Franz's words but Merlin, who had already experienced the chaotic territory, was perfectly clear. Dimensions in the chaotic territory were like that. Even Great Legends had to be constantly on guard against other contenders coming to seize their dimensions.

Therefore, they would not dare to leave their dimensions even for a moment.

However, in the boundless territory, as long as they were near the Spell Caster civilization, they could still employ Great Legends to defend together.

Furthermore, if they could get closer to the Spell Caster civilization and join forces, then foreign civilizations would have to think twice. Therefore, the bonus territory was very advantageous to Spell Casters.

Going far away from the Spell Caster civilization into the depths of the boundless territory was not in line with Merlin's plan.

Therefore, he frowned and continued. “Are there no masterless dimensions around here which are closer to the Spell Caster civilization?”

“There are many dimensions but they aren't masterless, and are occupied by contenders of foreign tribes. Look at the dimensions around us. Aren't there many dimensions belonging to foreign tribes?”

Franz pointed to the dimensions outside.

Merlin realized that there were many dimensions in the boundless territory, and the distance between them was nearer compared to other dimensions he had encountered before. This was the greatest characteristics of the boundless territory.

Although they were near to each other, the distance was still far.

Moreover, many of these dimensions were occupied by foreign civilizations.

“Foreign civilizations? How many dimensions are there between the Franz Dimension and the Gerva Dimension?”

Merlin asked this question as he wanted to connect these dimensions.

“Oh? There are three dimensions in the middle to connect with the Gerva Dimension.”

A trace of suspicion flashed in Franz's eyes. He looked at Merlin's thoughtful expression, and seemed to have a bold guess in his heart.

“Wizard Merlin, you can't be thinking about seizing the dimensions of those foreign civilizations, right?”

Merlin indeed had such a plan. He nodded and said, “At present, it seems that seizing is the only way to connect with the Gerva Dimension.”

“Haha, seizing dimensions? We admire Wizard Merlin's ambition. However, I'm afraid Wizard Merlin doesn't understand the boundless territory. It's more difficult to seize a dimension than to defend it. Furthermore, there are many foreign tribes. Spell Caster dimensions could employ help but other Spell Casters could as well. Moreover, once you've seized a dimension, you'll become a plunderer, and might end up getting killed. That'll be very troublesome.”

Franz cautioned and told Merlin that dimensions could not be easily seized. Otherwise, several of them had already worked together to seize the dimensions closest to the Gerva Dimension.

Everyone knew that Gerva Dimension was safer but who had taken action?

“I have to give it a try. How could I give up before that?”

Merlin did not explain in detail. He possessed power comparable to Great Legends and was second only to Honored Legends. He also had an empire level wars.h.i.+p comparable to an Honored Legend.

Adding all of these together, it would be questionable if he could not seize a dimension instead.

However, Merlin did not need to tell others about these secret trump cards. They should not be revealed easily until the critical moment.

“Franz, which is the nearest foreign tribe dimension?”

Merlin's bright eyes were fixed on Franz. He already generally knew about the situation in the boundless territory. Therefore, he made up his mind to start work as soon as possible.

He was not fighting for masterless dimensions but directly seizing them instead!
