Chapter 381: The Sixth Circle Grand Wizard Represents the Limit of Humanity's Reach!

Seeing Harof's displeasure, Bohr couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"It seems you've encountered some trouble?"

"This trouble isn't just ours." Aurora seized the moment, speaking pointedly. "The Empire and the Holy Church threaten the existence of all wizards. This matter concerns not only the Council but also the Society of Mystical Arts, doesn't it?"

Compared to the secluded land of wizards overseas, the members of the Society of Mystical Arts were the most severely threatened by the Holy Church. Legends like Bohr might not mind pursuit, but ordinary members wouldn't all be as formidable.

"Moreover, the Magic Kingdom's plans were proposed and executed by members of the Society of Mystical Arts. This matter is internal to the Society." Victorio added, supplementing the discussion.

Even though their participation in this legendary gathering aimed to seek allies, both Aurora and Victorio clearly didn't want to relinquish control. In just a few words, they managed to shift the blame.

Now, it was the members of the Society of Mystical Arts who were against the Holy Church, while the land of wizards extended support considering the bigger picture—supporting a crumbling edifice...

For high-ranking members of the Society of Mystical Arts like Bohr, it would be unacceptable not to take action!

Aurora had a grand scheme in mind, but the legends of the Society of Mystical Arts weren't easily swayed.

Lady Curie spoke with a serene smile. "We are different from you. The Society of Mystical Arts doesn't restrict the freedom of its members. They have the right to decide what they want to do and should be accountable for their actions..."

In other words, the Magic Kingdom's plans weren't devised by them, and they weren't obligated to rescue a particular member either.

Their casual attitude surprised Aurora. According to her assumptions, Lynn should hold a significant position within the Society of Mystical Arts, at least as a disciple of a legendary figure. With his talent and strength, no wizarding organization would feasibly abandon him.

Had they assessed no danger from the other side, or did they genuinely not care?

Newton, with his flowing curls, answered Aurora's unspoken doubts. "In reality, we're not in this continent at the moment. Even if you wish to confront Aila, I have some information and suggestions."

"I've encountered that pseudo-god and the legends of the Church before. Please forgive my frankness, but their mental and life levels surpass yours!"

"Or rather, your mental level seems to only reach that of a grand wizard!"

Lynn's words successfully diverted Aurora and the others' attention. Suddenly, no one asked why they weren't on this continent anymore.

Victorio's mind trembled, and he hastily inquired, "Have you found a way to surpass that limit?"

The limit...

Such a word momentarily left Lynn at a loss for words.

However, Harof and Aurora understood precisely what Victorio meant.

The Sixth Circle Grand Wizard represents the limit that humans can reach!

It was like an unbreakable wall standing before every grand wizard. Unlike previous obstacles to class advancement, this seemed to be the pinnacle attainable by the human race limited by their physical bodies.

Of course, where there's a limit, there are those who surpass it!

Some ancient psychic beings achieved a qualitative leap by devouring and plundering souls, attaining powers far beyond grand wizards—they called themselves gods!

Simultaneously, a very small number of wizards, through various cunning methods, acquired powers comparable to those dark gods. To distinguish between the two, a unique title was established above grand wizards—the legendary!

Hence, legends, unlike regular wizards and grand wizards, didn't have clear boundaries or accessible methods for promotion.

Or one could say that the only criterion to measure a legend was possessing a level of power surpassing grand wizards!

During their years in the land of wizards, they had been seeking a perfect path for advancement and had made numerous attempts.

For instance, 150 years ago, a terrifyingly powerful black dragon crossed through a temporal gate in a magic crystal mine, causing immense destruction within the land of wizards.

Finally, the few of them managed to imprison it, using mystical arts to extinguish its soul, allowing Faiz, the most powerful psychic grand wizard at the time, to occupy the body and become the fifth legend of the Council!

However, this process could only be described as perilous, with success heavily reliant on luck, at least ninety percent!

According to Faiz, he couldn't entirely control or merge with that body. The soul seemed confined within a formidable shell, able to barely wield sixty to seventy percent of its power...

"Perhaps, compared to us, you could truly be considered real legendary wizards!" Harof sighed in admiration.

Since Bohr could discern that their mental level remained at the level of grand wizards, it likely meant that the others had found a way to break that limit.

It seemed the land of wizards had been sealed for far too long...

Though Lynn didn't fully grasp the intricacies, judging from Harof and the others' reactions, he guessed a general idea. With a thought, Einstein within his microcosm shook his head and calmly stated,

"The path of magic is rugged; we're all just groping in the dark, no one can be certain they're on the right track!"

Harof, Aurora, and Victorio were all very interested in the method the legends of the Society of Mystical Arts had used to break through. However, they were equally aware that it was the greatest secret of every legendary wizard.

They were not willing to disclose how they became legends and naturally had no right to demand the same from others.

Considering Bohr and the others' "inconvenience to intervene," Aurora couldn't help but suspect that their method of breakthrough might not be as flawless either.
