The Second Obstacle

"You've passed!"

Merlin heaved a slight sigh of relief. Him passing the obstacle this time was indeed kind of an opportunistic event. The Flame Being did not mirror Merlin's Darkness Heart, which allowed Merlin to utilize the enhancing effects of Darkness Heart on Darkness-type spells to pass the first obstacle.

This also showed that the simulation ability of the first obstacle was not perfect. At least, Merlin's Darkness Heart and his enhanced spells could not be replicated.

The Flame Being's eyes were scorching hot as he scanned Merlin intensely. Then he said with a calm voice, "Yes, although you're suspected of ingenuity, this first obstacle was never originally intended for an average Spell Caster. If I'm not mistaken, your Darkness Tide was only a Second-level spell, yet it has such immense power. You must've cultivated Darkness Heart, right? Only Pandora Demon Abilities that were integrated into spells can't be replicated."
