Chapter 228: Rank-4 Spell Model
"Yes, capturing a Divine's consciousness is not an easy matter, lad. But it's not impossible. And, I have a plan." Oswald said with a mysterious smile on his face.
"But we don't know where this 'consciousness' is hiding. More than one million people are living in this city. Finding the 'Divine' among these people is more like searching for a needle in the haystack." Charles's face turned serious.
He was still searching for 'Omen' and the skeleton and couldn't even find any lead till now.
Meanwhile, Oswald shook his head and continued.
"But we have some clues. First, this 'Divine' seems to be after Rhea's life. But why would an almighty divine want her life? Is her soul something special? I don't think so-"
"The 'Divine' might be after the first king's legacy." Charles interrupted his talking.
"That's what I thought too. In the prophecy, the first king said that a 'Divine' would stay near her all the time and try to steal her life. But there are different meanings hidden in this line. For example, steal her life have two meanings. One is stealing her soul by killing her and the other one is completely take control of Rhea's soul and body, impersonate as her, become a monarch and steal her future life." Oswald suddenly paused for a moment and then continued.
"But I still don't understand why she is helping you to create 'Love' emotion for you. Maybe she is planning something big for you too? I'm not sure about that. Now, you should continue your mission and prepare for the life and death ordeal during Rhea's coronation ceremony. The Divine will definitely show up and take action during that moment. That's when we will use this gem and completely capture that consciousness. But we must do it before the consciousness sends information regarding our aim to her real body. This Divine's consciousness's death must be very mysterious even for the stalking Goddess." The more Oswald talked about it, the more excited he became.
Meanwhile, Charles also nodded his head and agreed.
As long as the plan was perfect, he would never hesitate to co-operate with Oswald.
Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked with a frown.
"What do you want in return, Mr. Runeth? I know that you would never help me without expecting anything in return."
Upon hearing his words, Oswald almost choked for a moment and laughed.
"Hehe, you noticed, huh. Right, I want you to bring me to a certain place after this mission." His voice contains a trace of excitement.
"Where is it?" Charles raised his eyebrows in suspicion and asked.
At that moment, Oswald's smile widened.
"Your home. I want to go to the Nightwind Family and take something from the Dreamland Pocket Dimension. That's where Eddie hid a 'Darkness' elemental stone. As long as we get that, my combat ability would rise. I might be able to restore [Erase Existence] spell model."
Meanwhile, Charles fell into deep thoughts for a while and then nodded.
"Good. Let's come to the topic." Oswald instantly changed into a professional mode and began to speak about their work.
They discussed for more than an hour and made a detailed plan to capture the Divine's consciousness.
After the discussion, Oswald didn't stay in the underground basement and left silently.
Meanwhile, Charles chose a comfortable place to sit and entered the Inner World.
A moment later, he appeared beside clone Charles, changed his appearance into a white-haired old man, looked at the lava lake, and sighed.
"You used me." A cold voice came from his right side, causing him to furrow his brows.
"I did." Charles agreed with a nod and then added with a bitter smile.
"But to ignite the soul heal spell model, I have no choice."
He felt the betrayal emotion of his own self and sighed heavily.
Although the clone Charles got angry at him, he also understood the seriousness and heaved a heavy sigh.
He then looked at the lava liquid, which contains the memory of the previous encounter, and asked.
"What about our agreement? Will you let me spend some time with Miss. Natalia?"
'Hmm, a tough question. If I agree to his request, it will be like walking straight into a trap. But if I didn't, things won't go smoother. For example, both the clone and I feel betrayed by our own selves. If this continues, we won't love and accept ourselves for who we are. We won't have self-compassion or self-forgiveness. Although I can simply erase him, this betrayal mark won't disappear from me for the rest of my life.' Charles thought for a moment and responded.
"Be it. You can spend some time with her whenever I'm free. For example, you can take 2 hours of my time."
A smile bloomed on the clone Charles's face as he heard those words.
Meanwhile, Charles shook his head, looked up at the dark sky, and spoke.
"I'm going to construct a Rank-4 spell model now. Bring that chaos fireball to the sky."
Saying so, he cast [Fallen Angel's Wings] spell, flapped the wings twice, and shot up towards the sky.
On the other hand, the clone Charles also cast [Red Wings] spell and flew towards the system cube to get the 'Chaos' fireball.
A few seconds later, he carried a net-covered chaotic ball of reddish-black flame from the opposite side and flew up towards the sky.
He soon appeared in the dark sky and moved towards a particular reddish spell model.
Meanwhile, Charles already appeared in front of the [Needle of Ember] spell model and opened the game interface.
'Currently, I have a total of 1,156,529 Exp points.' He took a deep look at the exp bar and shifted his gaze towards the spell model option.
Then, he focused his gaze on the [Needle of Ember] spell and soon saw a list of corresponding spells appeared in front of his eyes.
[Fire Whip (146,500 Exp), Chaos Lighting (124,200 Exp), Fire's Wrath (150,100 Exp), Blazing Sun (164,350 Exp), Finger of Destruction (174,600 Exp), Chaos Eruption (180,200 Exp)…]
'Chaos Lighting… Fire Wrath… Blazing Sun… Finger of Destruction…' Charles stared at the list for a while and soon made up his mind.
At that moment, he also saw his clone also appeared beside him and stood in silence.
Charles nodded at him and spoke with a thoughtful look on his face.
"I have a vague feeling that I might enter into an enlightenment state once I start the spell model construction process. After placing this 'chaos fireball' in front of me, stay away from here. Otherwise, you might get affected by the chaos fire."
Saying so, he focused his gaze on the [Finger of Destruction] spell model and spent 174,600 Exp points.
A moment later, a loud tremor came from where the game cube was located and followed by countless runal characters.
Like a flock of reddish bees, all those runal characters appeared in front of the [Needle of Ember] spell model one by one and began to arrange above the previous one.
Upon seeing this, the clone Charles hurriedly placed the chaotic fireball in front of the real Charles and hastily backed away.
Meanwhile, Charles focused his gaze on the newly arranged characters and started to comprehend.
He also used [Cryptic Analysis] skill constantly and soon entered a strange dazed state.
At that moment, he suddenly grasped a streak of chaos essence and soon turned his attention towards the sealed chaotic fireball on his right side.
In the chaotic fireball, he saw hundreds of similar streaks of chaotic essence and became stunned for a moment.
The next instant, he ultimately entered the enlightened state and began to comprehend the streaks of chaotic essences.
Within a few seconds, one reddish-black streak came out from the chaos fireball, moved towards his newly constructing [Finger of Destruction] spell model, encircled the hexagonal spell model, and then fused with it!
Ten seconds later, another streak of chaotic fire essence came out and moved towards the spell model.
While Charles was in his enlightened state, his eyes constantly flickered like a machine, and he began to comprehend the chaotic fireball.
One minute… Two minutes…Five minutes… Ten minutes…
He stayed in the same position for the next thirty minutes and almost comprehended the chaotic fireball!
Unlike before, only a few steaks of chaotic fire essences circling inside the fireball!
After few seconds, he finished comprehending the chaotic fireball and soon returned to his normal state.
But he didn't stop for a moment and choose to focus his attention on the newly constructing spell model.
Then, he stayed in the same position and continued his comprehension.
Seconds turned minutes, minutes turned hours, and soon one day passed!
But the construction process continued, and the runal characters constantly flew from the System Cube like a never-ending stream.
Precisely 49 hours later, a brand new reddish hexagonal-shaped spell model appeared in front of him.
It was five-meter taller and appeared more like a real star!
A smile crept on Charles's face as he saw the hexagonal spell model.
His smile was not due to the completion of the construction but due to the comprehension!
'I already comprehended 53% of the spell model! Moreover, this spell got strengthened by the chaotic fire essences and could produce more than 150% damage than normal attack spells!'
