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

Chapter 39: The Formation of the Alphabetic Force



“Alphabet user…this kid is an alphabet user.” The village’s headman said while his face still looked like he could not believe it. He did not notice before that there was a stranger in his village and that this stranger was also captured with everyone here.

But it could not compare with the fact that he was an alphabet user!

Although this might be unbelievable and everyone still could not believe their eyes, the blue embroideries on that magical cloak were such fine evidence that made them unable to deny it.

Among that silence and shock, there was still a man trying to use that opportunity to move; he was Lord Exel.

He pushed himself up. It seemed like he was not so severely injured that he could no longer fight.

Lord Exel cast a high-level spell; magical steam around him was condensed according to the spell’s context.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in that area started changing. There appeared on the ground he was standing on a massive magical hoop. The earth was cracking; rocks and land were crushed into pieces, and they were spinning around.

All of a sudden, Lord Exel’s body had a magnetic attraction force. Rocks and soil were vigorously moving towards him; his body became one with those stones and began to expand to the point where he was no longer a human.

Lord Exel was turned into a rock giant; his attacking power increased immensely. With this high-level spell, he was upgraded to be equivalent to a beginner wizard warrior.

Merlin watched calmly and quietly; he was not in a hurry to make any move. In fact, he could even use the speed of Xian vital essence to interrupt this spell-casting, but he wanted to watch it: to watch a wizard casting a spell from beginning to end. This was considered a fighting experience.

Merlin observed and studied Lord Exel’s use of magic. His every move was recorded by Lemegeton Eye; the border of his wisdom expanded.

The more Merlin understood magic, it would be easier for him to drill through the next zone.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

It was Lord Exel’s footsteps; he was wildly running towards Merlin.

This scene terrified lots of people. Lord Exel could transform himself into a rock giant in the zone of wizard warrior, as expected of the ruler baron.

The rock giant’s body was glazed with the first-section power of the wizard-warrior level.

It was a tremendous amount of power; there were fractures everywhere he went. His protection and attacking powers got terrifyingly higher.

That almost three-meter-tall rock giant threw the first punch fiercely. The air was compressed and fused with this fist; his target was Merlin.

WHOOOSH!

Unfortunately, this punch failed. Before it reached the target, Merlin disappeared out of nowhere.

This, however, was not the first time that he had experienced this situation. Lord Exel’s previous experience enabled him to sense the opponent, he then kicked his gigantic leg to the back.

Whoosh!

Before Lord Exel’s kick had a chance to touch Merlin, the boy’s body vanished again.

A supporting spell was cast by Lord Exel once again; a tremendous amount of magical power made his body glow up again.

Suddenly, the gargantuan body was moving even faster.

Even though having a huge body could boost the attack power, in exchange for that, it had one weak point: a decrease in speed. To erase this flaw, Lord Exel cast a speed-boosting spell for himself.

The rock giant’s movement was unbelievably faster, which did not go along with that massive build. His punches and kicks were used to attack continually.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

And finally!

BANG!

That titanic fist hit the target and made a thunderous sound echoing all over the area.

The beholders could not even breathe watching this fight; their hearts were beating heavily the whole while.

They were watching the scene with their mouths wide-open, without being able to believe what they were seeing.

The damage of the punch did not impress Lord Exel.

His punch was blocked! It was blocked by the blue barrier.

The punch as powerful as that of a wizard warrior could not get through this barrier. Numbers of blue alphabets were shining and moving the way those small hands went.

Not only could the alphabet power use the alphabets to build magical hoops, but it also had another ability called the force of formations.

Together with Lemegeton and his wisdom, it was not hard to study it.

The alphabetic force was the high science that Merlin just understood and was able to use. The more he understood the depth of the magical alphabets, the better the hidden force of this science could reveal itself.

The alphabetic force could create a variety of things, such as,

Attacking formation: using noise blended with the alphabetic force to attack enemies. It could make the opponents recede and weaken them, but this formation would not have much effect on the more powerful opponents.

Guarding formation: the alphabetic force that could build up as alphabet shields or barriers to protect the user from attacks. But if the gap between the opponent and the user’s power was too large, this formation might be destroyed.

Capturing formation: the alphabetic force that could create an area to capture the enemy. It was different from the attacking formation that could protect against outer attacks; this formation protected internal attacks.

All of these formations gave great power to every green-level alphabet user.

If the alphabet users could master these formations, they would have the advantage over other wizards in a fight. And despite their opponents being stronger, they would not lose, although they could not win.

The force of formations was different from using spells because the users would not have to cast spells. And to use it, the essential thing was imagination. Each formation could transform without having any fixed shapes or forms; it depended on the users’ desires.

In short, the force of formations came from the power of alphabets which would respond to the users’ wills. So, that was why people were scared of the alphabet users.

Nevertheless, Lord Exel was an exception. He was insolent and full of anger. That giant rocky body madly charged at Merlin.

Merlin was on the defensive; he quickly used Xian vital essence to handle Lord Exel.

It was not because their skills were on the same level; Merlin just wanted this to be a part of his combating experience.

After fighting with several techniques, there was no sign of Merlin losing.

After a while, it seemed like Merlin was getting bored; he realized that fighting with Lord Exel would not benefit him anymore. In the blink of an eye, his body disappeared from the opponent’s sight.

Above Lord Exel’s head, the more taciturn-looking boy appeared. His white hair was waving.

Merlin reached his hand down to Lord Exel’s head.

“It is boring fighting with you; this should end now.” Merlin’s emotionless voice was uttered.

Suddenly, there appeared around Lord Exel a strange barrier looking like clear glasses blocking him from six directions: front, back, left, right, above, and below. His body was completely captured by the six-way glasses. The blue alphabet pattern was moving around like it was alive.

The force of formations: Capturing formation

Lord Exel was captured inside; his face turned ugly and crazy. He had never met an alphabet user before; Lord Exel did not believe that an alphabet user would be able to defeat him. He, on the other hand, believed that the alphabet users’ strength was a fabricated fact and that they were just craftsmen who made magical tools.

His heart was now filled with envy and denial.

Lord Exel was born in a noble house, but he was not the oldest son; he earned his baron status with his skills; which was not something given by the family. He needed to have a lot of patience and worked extremely hard to get to this point.

Power and authority were his life. The power was his confidence. He was really confident in his power; he gained his honor and prestige from it. And he could not believe that a magic practitioner would be able to beat him.

ARGHHHHH!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Lord Exel was wildly attacking that barrier.

But unfortunately, although he tried with all his might, he could not even make a scratch on that barrier.

Only the first power section of the wizard-warrior level would never be able to break a blue-level alphabet user’s barrier.

There was a rumor that many cities used the blue-level alphabet users’ barriers.

The power of the blue-level alphabet barriers could protect the cities from that invasion of the beasts of levels four to five.

Unless it was a high wizard warrior or an archwizard, it was impossible that that blue-level alphabet user’s barrier would be destroyed.

Merlin flew down to Lord Exel’s eye level then said,

“Getting rid of you is even easier than flipping hands. Your arrogance has quite upset me.” Merlin lowered his eyes then continued, “You are from Aragon, and you are a loyal servant to the kingdom. Even if your actions were foolish, I will look past them. Watch this and be gone. I will take care of the rest.”

Merlin in a child’s body said coldly; his identity was like an iceberg. His power swept through everyone here. Nobody dared to question his actions; his triumph suppressed everyone’s courage to go against him.

Merlin flicked his hand once and something appeared from the magical ring.

That thing…Merlin made it fly to Lord Exel’s front. He wanted the man to clearly see this thing.

When Lord Exel saw it, his eyes popped up; they were filled with amazement. His madness and indignity were immediately gone. His change scared everyone around.

A lot of people could not see that thing clearly while some knew too well what it was. How did it make Lord Exel surrender?
