Fire Mage

Chapter 560: Sacrifice

Meanwhile, Charles dodged all the spell attacks cast by the remaining Divine Order members and started killing them.

After finishing off the last Divine Order member, he calmly shifted his attention towards Brooks and raised his [Blackened Heart] sword.

On the other hand, three golden skeletons stood around Brooks in a circle and protected him.

"I should finish my job sooner." Charles nodded his head and suddenly dashed forward.

At that moment, one of the golden skeletons sprinted towards him at an incredible speed, arrived before him in less than a second, and aimed its black sword at his chest.

But before it could thrust the sword, Charles suddenly cast [False Field] and [Accelerate Thoughts] spells and increased his movement speed.

A second later, he nimbly evaded the golden skeleton\'s sword thrust, moved his [Blackened Heart] sword tip towards the skeleton\'s shoulder area, and severed one of the greyish threads.

The other two golden skeletons noticed his scheme and said something in a strange language.

No, it appeared familiar to him!

\'They are contacting each other through the Nether language.\' If he hadn\'t absorbed the memories of [Demi-Lich] Reid, he might still be in confusion.

\'Those skeletons are telling this guy to use sword aura, huh? Let\'s see if I can erase this skeleton\'s thoughts.\' Muttering inwardly, he locked his gaze on the nearby golden skeleton and cast [Burning Thoughts] on it.

A moment later, a small purple fire appeared inside the skeleton\'s soul and erased its current thoughts.

A smile appeared on Charles\'s face as he saw the golden skeleton freeze for a moment before falling forward.

But before it could crash onto the ground, Charles made multiple slashes in the thin air, cut all the nether threads that controlled the \'Soul,\' and released it!

The other two golden skeletons also suddenly dashed forward to attack him, but they too froze in midair before falling.

"I didn\'t expect that [Mind Fire] spells would render a Legend Rank Mystic helpless-"

He abruptly stopped speaking, shifted his gaze towards his left eye, and noticed a change in one of the twenty future visions.

\'Brooks will erase the [Burning Consciousness] spell and return to the real world in the next ten seconds? Moreover, he has a powerful trump card?\' Although he didn\'t see any changes around Brooks in the vision, he decided to act more cautiously.

First, he moved his left hand, released thousands of invisible strings, and let them move towards every corner of the hall.

Then, he took out the Chaos Scroll from his space ring, tossed it towards the left, and used one of his strings to make it invisible.

After that, he also took out a strange rainbow feather, wrapped it with another invisible string, and let it disappear into thin air.

At that moment, he also moved his sword and started slashing.

\'Should I make more preparations?\' His hand slashed continuously at the surrounding area, cutting the nether threads that controlled the other two golden skeletons as his mind raced.

When he cut the final two nether threads and released the souls from the golden skeletons, he suddenly thought of something and opened his game interface.

\'I\'ve less than five seconds to prepare!\' He quietly opened his status and checked something unique.

...

\'Wait! How did the Time affinity improve on its own from \'Nil\' to \'Low\'? Is it due to the Time Loop spell?\' He was dumbfounded inside.

Unfortunately, he had to wait another thousand years to use the \'Time Loop\' spell again.

\'I\'m also not-\' He abruptly halted his thoughts, shifted his attention towards the Wisdom Points, and ordered.

\'Genesis, use all the 27 Wisdom Points.\'

Just as he spoke, a sudden surge of wisdom essence came out of the System Cube, entered his Inner World, and started increasing his wisdom!

Simultaneously, a row of blue notifications appeared in front of his eyes.

[Alert! Alert! Alert!...]

[+1 Wisdom]

[+2 Wisdom]

....

As his wisdom power crossed 200 points, Charles felt a refreshing feeling and was pleased inside.

He soon noticed a drastic change within his \'Inner World\' and even realized that he could create a true \'Fire Domain\' without any restraint.

\'My senses also heightened twofold. Although my body is still weak as a normal Pseudo-Legend Mystic, my mind has already reached a pinnacle level.\' His wisdom power may be low compared to all other Legend Rank Mystics, but his control over it was much higher.

\'It\'s all because of my soul mutation. If not, I wouldn\'t be able to fight a single Legendary Mystic.\' He nodded inwardly and soon realized that five seconds had already passed.

A second later, his [Burning Consciousness] spell also stopped sending information from Brooks\' Inner World and seemed to have lost its connection!

Simultaneously, Brooks opened his eyes slowly and stared deep into Charles\'s eyes.

"You shouldn\'t have tried to invade my mind, young man." He said coldly and uttered a word in an ancient yet foreign language.

"**********!"

As he heard those words, Charles felt an eerie gaze from somewhere far away, followed by a sharp ache in his head.

He felt a feeling of being watched by \'death\' itself and shuddered a bit.

Before he had time to blink, seven ghostly forms came out of Brooks\' body and started hovering in the air.

Although their faces appeared distorted, he felt a sense of wickedness and eeriness from them. What shocked Charles the most was that the ghosts appeared smaller and looked like small kids!

\'Wait, kids?\' A strange sense of déjà vu appeared in his mind.

\'No good! These mutated souls are capable of manipulating Space and Time itself.\' He had seen such an effect during his journey to the Iron City and turned grim.

Just as he had expected, one of the ghosts suddenly flew in his direction with open arms and tried to hug him. It was a young girl with a half-ripped face, and she even had a strange horn on her forehead area.

While doing so, she also opened her mouth and spoke.

"Happie!"

Meanwhile, Charles felt some of his life energy was being sucked by a mysterious power and turned pale.

\'Sh*t! She is affecting my lifespan!\' He tried to back away, but the ghost chased after him at an unimaginable speed.

Without any other choice, he cast the [False Blink] spell, disappeared from there, and reappeared more than ten meters away from Brooks.

At this moment, another ghost let out an eerie giggle and uttered a strange word.

"Totuwod!"

The next instant, unique spatial energy appeared out of the ghost\'s cloudy form, affected all the surrounding space, and interrupted him from using any spatial spells!

While Charles was under pressure, Brooks cast a mysterious spell on himself, enchanted his eyes with death power, and peered into Charles\'s soul.

He soon saw the mutated form of his soul and was astounded inside.

"No wonder you felt so confident about beating me." He paused for a moment and then shook his head.

"But you\'ve underestimated me."

Meanwhile, Charles kept a considerable distance from the girl ghost and stared at Brooks warily.

Although he knew Brooks had a powerful trump card, the appearance of seven unique ghosts was out of his expectations.

While he was contemplating deeply, another ghost with a headless body raised its hand and pointed its finger in a random direction.

Then, it uttered another strange word and released unique Present Time energy.

A second later, a strange ripple appeared around the surrounding areas, slowed down the time, and froze everything.

\'Is this [Time-Stop] spell common among Legend-Rank Mystics?\' Charles felt bitterness inside.

\'I don\'t have any time to waste.\' He nodded inwardly and manipulated one of the invisible strings.

The next instant, a rainbow-colored feather appeared behind Brooks\' head, turned illusionary, and entered his head!

Although Brooks noticed something entering his inner world, he couldn\'t pinpoint it. Hence, he kept in his mind and focused entirely on the battle.

Meanwhile, the rainbow feather crept into his consciousness instead of his Inner World and exploded.

Following that, countless reddish lines of \'Truth\' power emerged from the exploded feather, spread to all directions, and started controlling every area!

Before Brook could even understand the situation, a strange chain came out of the exploded feather and stabbed directly into his chest region.

A crushing pain appeared in his head the next second!

\'Truth Line!\' He had heard of this Rainbow Feather from the Leader of the Destiny Conquerors and turned pale.

\'Oh no! It can manipulate my inner thoughts. If I say a single word about the original plan in the open-\'

He didn\'t even dare to think about it further and focused his full attention on his Inner World.

Several areas of his Inner World were still burning purple at that point and looked ravaged.

Many injured skeletons, zombies, and even ghoul-like humans ran here and there, repairing the broken houses.

As he saw them, an aching feeling appeared in his heart.

Eventually, he steeled his heart, opened his mouth, and addressed everyone.

\'It was a fun journey, guys!\'

A moment later, he retracted his attention from the Inner World, ordered the nearby ghost to undo the Time-Freeze effect, and opened his mouth.

"For Conquering Destiny!" He announced as he enveloped his body in an eerie black smoke and exploded.

He detonated himself not to reveal any information about the Destiny Conqueror\'s final objective!
