Fire Mage

Chapter 449: Memories

Meanwhile, Charles wore an amusing smile on his face, raised his hand, and showed two fingers.

"You've two options now. The first option, fight me with all your might and force me to undo this spell. Second, act smarter and evacuate the townspeople before my [Black Inferno] spell explodes. After all, the fireball will take more than 30 minutes to reach its peak level. The choices are yours." He paused for a moment, cast [Burning Consciousness] spell on the saint, and then added.

"But I don't like staying here for too long."

Meanwhile, Saint Caster sensed a strange force was seeping into his soul and tried his best to stop it.

On the other hand, Charles's mind fire managed to cross the Dark Space and soon arrived inside his Inner World. A second later, the small purple fire absorbed the nearby memory clouds and soon formed into an appearance of purple Charles.

The burning consciousness soon opened its eyes and saw that Caster's whole Inner World appeared in the form of clouds.

'Although this Saint formed some sort of connection with his soul, he still hasn't entered his Inner World!' It analyzed the surrounding clouds and started erasing the most important memories from his Inner World.

'It's better to erase most of our earlier conversation.' While muttering, it sent out a streak of purple flame towards the Dark Space.

At that moment, Charles also asked questions about how he came here, why Saint Caster wanted to see his original self, and so on, and helped his burning consciousness.

Saint Caster also noticed that some of his memories were disappearing one by one and got stunned inside.

By the time he managed to regain his sense, Charles also stopped asking any more questions, cast [Flame Teleportation] spell, enveloped his body in a crimson flame, and disappeared from there!

"H-He disappeared?!" Saint Caster's face went pale. Although he couldn't remember his face or his voice, he still retained most of their conversation. He then hurriedly looked up at the dome-shaped ceiling and soon squinted his eyes.

"That accursed demon!!" He cursed out loud and hurriedly walked towards the exit while informing what had happened to his colleagues.

He soon opened the church gate from inside and saw hundreds of Light Knights standing at the entrance with weapons and shields.

Upon seeing the group, he breathed out a sigh of relief and spoke loudly.

"Light Knights! Follow the evacuation procedure. Split into ten groups and gather all the citizens at the town's entrance in 5 minutes. Use any means to drag everyone out of their house and let them look at the church-" Before he could finish his sentence, the church's dome suddenly shook violently and soon burned in an eerie black flame!

Meanwhile, the whole Light Knight squad got startled deeply and soon shouted in shock and disbelief.

Under Caster's shouting, all of them soon woke up from the shock and moved to different sides. Cries and shouts constantly echoed as the church's dome continued to burn and finally revealed the infant form of the [Black Inferno] spell!

The true chaos began in a small town called 'Norwich.'

…

While Saint Caster and other Light Knights were trying to escape from the disaster descending onto their town, Charles appeared 1000 meters above the small town and watched their movements calmly. Within 30 seconds, more than six figures flew from the eastern direction at an ultrasonic speed and soon arrived at the town's entrance. They all wore some cloak type of dress and used some pure light wing spell for flying. Once they entered inside, they split into three groups and started searching the surrounding areas.

'Reinforcements, huh?' Charles chuckled inwardly and once again cast [Flame Teleportation] spell on himself before enveloping himself in a crimson flame.

A second later, he disappeared from there and reappeared 30 km away from Norwich. Then, he again disappeared from there, returned to the Duke's Castle, and appeared at the center of his guest room.

After that, he raised his hand, touched his face, and transformed into Prince Julius.

He then touched the green pendant, linked his mind with the artifact's soul, and gave a specific order.

A second later, a middle-aged man appeared before his eyes and showed a startled look on his face.

It was Irzoch, in Duke Michael's appearance!

"What the-?!"

She widened her eyes in surprise, looked at the surroundings, and soon froze as he saw Prince Julius's face.

"Don't panic. It's me." Charles said in Daniel's voice and shifted his attention towards his Inner World.

Then, he extracted Duke's memories, combined them into a cloud, and pulled it out of his Inner World. After that, he raised his right hand, touched Irzoch's forehead, and sent the memory cloud into her head.

A second later, Irzoch felt a sharp headache and then noticed memories in the form of visual images appeared in her mind.

"T-This…" She couldn't help but let out a gasp as she glanced at the memories.

On the other hand, Charles moved towards the nearby table, took out an empty notebook from the cupboard, and spoke.

"They are Duke Michael's memories. Assimilate those memories in your mind and then start your job. Also, be careful when you are around the Demon Sorcerer Nash. He is a dangerous one." Saying so, he stored the notebook into his space ring, went near the luxurious four-poster bed, and lay on it. After that, he took out a pocket watch from his space ring, flipped it open, and checked the time.

"2 P.M. There are still more than 6 hours left for the dinner meeting."

He muttered to himself, closed his eyes, and started taking some rest.

While he was resting, Irzoch moved towards the nearby wooden chair, sat on it, and started reading those memories.

For the next four hours, she stayed in the same place, read most of Duke's memories, and finally managed to get a good grasp of her new identity. ????n????????????αd. ????om

'This memory extracting ability is indeed terrifying!' She couldn't help but glance at the mysterious otherworldly person, who was sleeping comfortably on the nearby bed. In truth, she would stalk her target for more than a year to know more about the person, and then only she would use her [Skin-Change] spell.

But what this otherworldly being did before her earlier defied her common sense!

'What is he? A God? Or, a Demon?' She didn't know. But what she knew was that no one in this Faith Realm held these kinds of mysterious powers.

She soon shook her head and stood up from her seat… After that, she checked her outfit, moved towards the double door, and quietly left the guest room.
