Fire Mage

Chapter 535: Wish

Charles disappeared from John's Inner World and reappeared in the physical world.

In the meantime, John also opened his eyes and stared at him in shock.

"H-How did you leave my Inner World?" He was utterly perplexed inside and soon felt a sharp pain in his mind.

'I should finish him sooner.' Charles nodded thoughtfully, cast [False Field] spell first, and took a step forward.

At that moment, he sensed that the surrounding 100-meter space appeared under his control, and the gravity inside that particular space also became two times lesser for him.

As he took a step forward, he noticed that he moved like a bolt of lightning.

He soon arrived in front of John and cast [Soul Shock] spell on him.

A second later, a wave of soul fire appeared out of his soul, entered John's body, and paralyzed him in an instant.

Not only his body, even his soul form got paralyzed in the Astral Realm at that moment and appeared chained.

John only saw blurry images of a human moving in his direction before he was struck by the [Soul Shock] spell and got frozen by a strange power.

He tried to move his body but couldn't!

'What is happening?' He couldn't help but get more anxious inside.

Meanwhile, Charles gazed at John and asked a question.

"Who is Professor?"

Before John could even think about Professor, a strange purple fire appeared in his Inner World and erased his current thoughts.

A moment later, a piece of information appeared in his mind.

'Hmm, Professor has a mysterious past and has some deep link with Divine Order Organization. Other than this, John knew nothing about him.' He nodded thoughtfully and asked the next question.

"Who is he working for?"

The next instant, another piece of information appeared in his mind.

'Demigod Miguel.'

"Why did you guys assassinate Demigod Rafael?"

'To help Demigod Miguel become the next president of the City of Miracle and take complete control over the city...'

"Where is the Divine Order Organization headquarter located?" He asked another question.

A second later, another piece of information appeared in his mind.

'95A Dew Street.'

"How did you guys manage to deactivate the defensive array system of this city?" It was Charles's most concerning question.

'Hmm? Only Ezra and Professor knew that answer, huh.' Charles nodded his head in understanding and was about to ask the next question but stopped.

Then, he raised his hand, pointed his finger at John's forehead, and cast [Finger of Destruction] spell on him.

A moment later, a dense, chaotic ray came out of his fingertip, entered his forehead, and directly exploded from within.

Meanwhile, Charles shifted his attention towards the shape-shifting identity mark and changed himself into Julius!

As John's headless body fell backward, blue notifications appeared in front of his eyes.

...

[Enemy's soul has been captured!]

[Extracting soul essence...]

[Extraction completed!

[2 Free Wisdom Points obtained!]

...

'Oh? That's it?'

Charles furrowed his brows as he dismissed the notifications, turned around, and sharpened his gaze towards the other side of the alley.

A few seconds passed quietly, and soon a young man in his 20s arrived at the other side of the alley.

He appeared to be around 180cm high, had an oblong face, slightly long black hair, wide-set emerald eyes, and a hook mustache. He wore a double-breasted coat, pince-nez glasses, and a bowler hat on his top.

He was none other than Professor!

Professor looked at Charles in confusion, then towards John's headless body and asked.

"Who are you? Why are you interfering with our plan?"

Meanwhile, Charles smiled and soon shook his head.

"I don't want to interfere with your plan too, Professor. But I can't."

Saying so, he took a step forward and cast [Timeless Body] spell on himself.

His body was enveloped in a crimson flame the next instant and transformed into his elemental form.

Simultaneously, he took out a long sword from his space ring and held it with both hands.

The sword appeared to be made of black metal, and the hilt glowed in blue light. Some strange gems were also embedded all over the handle and looked good.

It was the same sword he got from Duke Michael in Faith Realm called 'Blackest Heart.'

Although it doesn't have any special skills or spells attached to it like other magic items, it could inflict curse-like damage to the opponent and was considered an extraordinary artifact.

"Rebirth Flame?!" Professor also identified the flame essence in his elemental body and squinted his eyes.

At that moment, he knew that something had terribly gone wrong and got confused inside.

'A foreign power is interfering!' A strange feeling appeared in his heart.

In the meantime, Charles suddenly disappeared from where he was before and almost appeared in front of Professor instantly. He was just 2 meters away from Professor and had already aimed his eerie black sword at Professor's chest.

'Does he think that he has a chance to kill me?' A ridiculous expression appeared on his face.

Just as he was about to activate his [Fate Change] skill, he suddenly noticed a strange purple flame entering his main consciousness and erasing his current thinking!

At the same time, Charles shifted his attention towards Genesis and added.

'Activate the [Time-Stop] ability!'

A second later, an invisible ripple came out of his body, spread towards all directions, and enveloped the floating city in an instant!

Charles then curled his lips upward, raised the long sword above his head, and directly slashed at Professor's left arm.

Then, he pulled the sword, aimed at Professor's throat, and directly thrust it with full force.

When Professor finally erased the purple flame in his mind, he noticed that his left arm had already detached from his body.

Not only that, but he also noticed the black sword tip was thrusting towards his throat.

'What the hell? [Time-Stop] spell? Who is he? An Ancient Mage?' Countless questions appeared in his mind.

In truth, it was more like an ambush that caught him completely off-guard!

At that moment, he realized that it would be impossible to dodge the sword attack and went pale.

Even if he could nullify the 'Time-Stop' spell now, he knew that he would either die here or be severely injured!

'I can't accept my defeat now. No, I can still use that spell!'

It was a [Historian] Class luck-based spell called 'Wish.'

It had a lot of restrictions like 'Miracle' skill and could be used only after gathering an unimaginable amount of luck power!

But as long as requirements were met, the 'Wish' spell would find a way to save him from dying!

At that moment, he realized Charles's having a strange elemental body and decided to take a gamble.

First, he nullified the 'Present-Time' power around his body using his 'Fate' power, moved back a little, and muttered under his breath.

'I 'wish' I had the same spell he has in his body as well.'
