Chapter 593: Fighting for the Dimension I

Two months later, Alcra and Merlin both had stopped meditating. They turned their gazes to look at the tightly-packed, at least ten odd foreign tribes outside the dimension.

"I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly…"

Alcra's expression was calm but there was an occasional flash of frustration in his eyes. In the past two months, he did not manage to achieve a miracle. He was unable to combine the nine Tree Saplings into one, thus he could not become an upper rank Tree Folk.

Merlin, on the other hand, also failed to break through to the Ninth-level Mind Heart!

This two-month period was truly too short. Both Merlin and Alcra did not manage to achieve any substantial improvement.

"Such a big battle force. I haven't seen one for a very long time… Wizard Merlin, you must've arrived in the open territory not too long ago, right?"

Faced with such grim odds, Alcra still appeared to be calm and composed.

Merlin nodded. "I just came to the open territory not too long ago. It's also my first time seeing such a big battle force!"

Outside the dimension was almost jam-packed with foreign tribes, and each of them was exuding powerful auras that were comparable to a Great Wizard. Thus, it had a tense and dangerous atmosphere.

Alcra squinted his eyes and continued. "I've been here since a long time ago. This place is a mixture of risks and opportunities. When I first got here, I was only a lower rank Tree Folk. Even though I'm a second-generation Tree Folk with brimming talents, at that time, I was only comparable to a Ninth-level Spell Caster!

"Thereafter, I undertook a voyage into the open territory and my abilities began to improve. After more than three hundred years, I'm now a middle rank Tree Folk, and my abilities are equivalent to a preeminent Great Wizard!"

Merlin's heart was startled. This Alcra was the most freakish and talented foreign tribe he had ever encountered. A middle rank Tree Folk was only supposed to be comparable to a Ninth-level Spell Caster.

However, this Tree Folk had the ability of a preeminent Great Wizard. Like Merlin, he was extremely freakish!

"Wizard Merlin, I've always been very low-key. Only a small handful of people know that I'm a middle rank Tree Folk with the abilities of a preeminent Great Wizard! Nevertheless, after this great battle, I'm afraid that our reputation will become widespread in the open territory."

Having said that, a frightening glint appeared in Alcra's eyes.

"Yes, we'll not surrender! Today, both our names will become a nightmare to many foreign tribes. Haha!"

Merlin cackled into the sky. Relying on the Elemental Origin, both of them lightly tore space apart and entered a spatial passage.



Outside the dimension, the ten odd foreign tribes were keenly eyeing the dazzling dimension in a distance, their eyes revealing their excitement and greed.

"This is the coordinates' position. I can't believe there really is a dimension!"

"It seems like the rumor was true. Since we found this dimension based on the coordinates, then according to the rumor, this is an Inception Dimension. As long as we kill the Tree Folk and the Spell Caster who control this dimension, we can gain control of the Dimension Core!"

"Rumor says that the Tree Folk here is Alcra and an unknown Spell Caster. The unknown Spell Caster isn't remarkable, only considered a peak Great Wizard. Alcra, on the other hand, is quite troublesome. I heard that he's comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard. Nevertheless, the Tree Folk is only able to bind. With so many of us here, especially the strong challengers, why should we fear Alcra's binding powers?

These foreign tribes exchanged looks with one another. Their concern was not Alcra and Merlin but instead the other foreign tribes. Everyone was thinking the same thing. Once Alcra and Merlin were killed, these foreign tribes would most probably kill each other to vie for the controlling rights of the Dimension Core. This was the real reason why none of the foreign tribes wanted to advance first.

"Screw it. Kill that Spell Caster first. His ability is the weakest but he holds half of the dimension's controlling rights. Once we kill him, we can get half of the dimension's controlling rights!"

One of the foreign tribes gnashed their teeth and took the lead. Their target was set on Merlin.

"If a mere peak Great Wizard can control the dimension together with Alcra, then Alcra mustn't be that powerful. So, we should be able to break through his binding powers. Let's look for Alcra. Perhaps it's not as dangerous as it seems!"

These foreign tribes had almost no knowledge of Alcra and Merlin. Their knowledge of Alcra remained stagnant since many years ago. Back then, Alcra was already a powerful Tree Folk but considered negligible compared to so many tribes.

Seeing a few foreign tribes rushing toward the dimension, the remaining tribes were also unwilling to reveal any weaknesses, so they all flew hastily toward the dimension.

"Hoo…"

When they had entered the dimension, their hearts were once again astounded. Once again, the rumor was proven to be true. There was no trace of any gods. It was indeed an Inceptive Dimension.

Thinking of the various benefits offered by an Inceptive Dimension, these foreign tribes appeared to be more determined, and began to search frantically throughout the dimension.

"I've found him, the mysterious Spell Caster!"

Haha, the aura on this Spell Caster is so weak. How did he obtain the controlling rights of the dimension?"

"Quickly, kill this weakly Spell Caster so that we can control half of the dimension."

These foreign tribes could feel the weak aura emitted from Merlin's body. All of them were surprised but pleased. The weaker Merlin was, the higher their chances of obtaining the dimension's controlling rights.

Far away, Merlin and Alcra had chosen an open space, and were waiting quietly. Naturally, by controlling the Elemental Origin, they could see the foreign tribes entering the dimension.

Alcra pulled a funny face and laughed. "Wizard Merlin, looks like they've all pinpointed you as a weakling, haha!"

Merlin's expression was very calm. Indeed, the aura on his body was not powerful. At most, Merlin was only a Seventh-level Spell Caster.

"Soon, they'll find out what a wrong choice that is!"

The corners of Merlin's lips curled into a sneer.

"Haha, Wizard Merlin, then teach them a lesson. This should be the first wave, and there'll be more to follow. Let's attack together, and don't waste too much time!"

After a rumbling laugh, Alcra fiercely revealed his true form and transformed into a humongous tree.

"Swish swish swish."

Scores of foreign tribes flew to a place not too far from them, staring at Merlin and Alcra with challenging gazes.

"Alcra, you're a second-generation Tree Folk among the Tree Tribe. Your potential is huge but unfortunately, your greed has undone you. Today, you're destined to die here…"

Some of the foreign tribes who had past conflicts with the Tree Tribe jeered as they looked at the humongous tree in the air.

Those who had the guts to seize this dimension were all extraordinary beings, and at least comparable to a peak Great. Wizard. In other words, this was a congregation of numerous elites from various civilizations.

Existences the level of a Great Wizard, regardless of whichever civilization, unequivocally constituted the central force of their respective civilizations. Hence, they were very important. It was rare, even in the open territory, to see so many Great Wizards gathered together.

"Is that so? Since you're all here, why don't you stay forever? Hahahaha…"

On Alcra's true form, a large face appeared. It was laughing with a lighthearted expression.

This caused the foreign tribes to be enraged. In this situation, Merlin and Alcra were facing certain death but still displayed such audacity.

"Bind!"

Alcra suddenly stopped laughing and roared. In an instant, from his humongous true form, tendrils of thick root system flew out viciously. Even his leaves and branches began to grow bigger, absorbing the power of the dimension.

Since Alcra controlled half of the dimension's power, by utilizing the distinctive trait of the Tree Folk, Alcra could take root in the dimension, and draw power from the Elemental Origin. Thus, he could mobilize infinite power.

This was equivalent to using the power of the entire dimension to bind these ten odd foreign tribes.

"Swish swish swish."

Thick large roots swiftly weaved into a giant net, covering almost half the sky above their heads.

The strongest abilities of the Tree Tribe were binding and defense. These foreign tribes also knew as much, so they were not worried despite seeing Alcra binding all of them.

"Haha, Alcra, do you think you're the Tree King? Are you able to bind so many of us?"

These foreign tribes each mounted powerful attacks, madly attacking Alcra. However, Alcra remained as unmoved as a mountain, as though there was no feeling.

Only Merlin knew that Alcra had improved. Although Alcra was still far from leveling up into an upper rank Tree Folk, his abilities had improved compared to two months ago.

As long as the power of the attacks did not exceed his critical point, any amount of attacks was inconsequential.

"What's happening? Why is Alcra so strong?"

"It's unbreakable. Alcra's binding is fearsome, we're actually trapped!"

"Is it because Alcra had controlled this dimension for so many years that his abilities had improved so drastically?"

The initial contempt and callousness evolved into a panic now. For the first time, these foreign tribes had a bad feeling. Once they were trapped by a Tree Folk and could not break through, they could be trapped forever. After all, everyone knew how fearsome the binding powers of the Tree Folk were. They were only relying on the large number of beings to break through Alcra's binding.

"Everyone, don't be afraid. There are so many of us, including existences comparable to a peak Great Wizard in our midst. It's impossible that we can't break through Alcra's binding. Let's mobilize our strongest power together."

Although these foreign tribes had their own selfish agendas, they managed to cooperate with one another in the face of a common threat. In an instant, the violent siege erupted again.

"Merlin, why are you still standing there? I'm relying on the powers of the Dimension Core to barely withstand it. This is an army of more than a hundred peak Great Wizard equivalents!"

Just as Merlin was feeling amazed by the improvement in Alcra's abilities, he heard Alcra's hastening voice, and found himself caught by surprise.

"I actually thought that your abilities had improved massively and can handle those foreign tribes alone. Turns out…"

Merlin shook his head gently. Regardless of how strong Alcra was, he was fighting against more than a hundred peak Great Wizard equivalents. A force like this would be avoided at all cost even by the most preeminent Great Wizard.

Perhaps, other than a Great Legend, no one would be capable of withstanding such a powerful force. If it were Merlin or Alcra alone, neither of them would be able to withstand it. This time, however, Merlin and Alcra had joined forces.

Merlin knew that Alcra might not be able to hold on much longer. Keeping so many foreign tribes bounded was at his limit. Therefore, Merlin gently shut his eyes, and a huge Mind Power surged out like a flood, blanketing all the foreign tribes bounded by Alcra…
