Chapter 484: Doubts
A startled expression appeared on Charles's face as he heard that voice.
Simultaneously, he also thought of erasing the current thinking but stopped.
At that moment, he noticed multiple similar waves from the silver crown and appeared to be moving out of the flame cube.
After some probing, he soon realized that these waves were nothing but recorded ones!
'From the looks of it, the voice seemed to be relaying some secretive information. Is it the remnant Will of the 'Nightmare'?'
After a slight hesitation, he stared at the silver crown deeply and waved his hand.
A moment later, the rebirth flame cube that enveloped the silver crown started to go off and soon disappeared from his eyes.
Then, he shifted his attention to the mysterious waves and deciphered the details hidden in the knowledge power.
Like before, he heard a strange type of broken sentence in the depths of his mind.
But what startled him deeply was that he heard two different kinds of voices.
"I'm trapped… Eternal… Demon!… Find the… remnant shards and-!"
Before the creepy voice could end, it stopped for a moment and soon continued.
"-Release me! I'll… forever… in debt… you."
Charles frowned as he heard those voices and listened to other unique waves. Unfortunately, all he heard was the same recorded voice in the form of knowledge power.
'Eternal Demon? The 'Nightmare' is not a Devil but a Demon? Moreover, whose voice is that? Is it the former Pope's voice? Does that mean he didn't die but got sealed himself along with the 'Nightmare' being? Or, this 'Nightmare' being is trying to trick me into releasing it?' After pondering for a while, Charles sighed deeply and thought of gathering more information about the Crown of Hell and its shards.
'Well, my goal is also the same anyway. As long as I gain access to the Secret Chamber, there is nothing else for me to lose.'
He used the same divination methods for the next few hours and searched for the remaining Shards locations.
To his surprise, he saw multiple visions about different objects and their current locations, but soon he found something unique about those objects!
"All of them are Crowns? Moreover, almost half of them are in the same place?" He couldn't help but mutter in a shocked tone. Indeed, the silver crowns also appeared similar to the Silver Crown and even had black-colored gemstone stones on them.
'Dream Stones? It looks like these silver crowns seem like an activation key. Maybe it's a key to control the sealed box?' Although it was absurd thinking, he felt that it might be possible.
It was a vague feeling which made him unsettle inside.
While in confusion, his [Forewarning] skill triggered on its own and showed him a glimpse of a faraway future image.
In that image, he saw that a terrifying blackish serpent descended from the cloudy sky and seemed to be hissing at him!
The winged serpent appeared similar to what he saw in Dream World, but it had two heads instead of one.
'A future warning? Tsk, an omnipotent Light God, Evil God, Avatar of the Evil God, Fallen Angel, Eternal Demon, and finally, the Nightmare Devil. I'm starting to suspect that all these titles belong to a single entity.'
'There is something else that's troubling me for a while now. What happened 500 years ago? When the Nightmare Being, aka the corrupted Angel, came to this mortal world, the Pope of that time confronted it and even managed to seal it in some mysterious box… But why didn't the Church mention his name anywhere in the history book? They should've crowned him as the next emperor… But he seems to have disappeared from history itself.'
As he thought, his suspicion towards the Light Church grew deeper.
'There are also the two types of factions that emerged in the Light Church at that time. Hmm, the unluckiness effect whenever they started their plan of reunification… Wait, first of all, why did they even want to re-establish the Fallen Empire? Even Goddess Zaqiel mentioned multiple times that no empire would stand forever, right? Then, the descendant of the Nightmare Being changed their ideology? That's the reason for this whole mess?' A frown appeared on his forehead.
'Gathering all these Crowns would put the whole world in a dangerous situation. But I don't care about that nonsense. What I need is how to get out of this world as soon as possible.' Shaking his head, he wrote down the information about other crowns and closed the notebook. Then, he put it back in the rack and took out an empty piece of paper. After that, he placed it on the wooden table before picking up the quill and started writing his next orders to Irzoch.
Once he finished writing the letter, he shifted his attention towards his Inner World and waved his hand.
A moment later, dense elemental energy appeared in the small room and soon took shape into an appearance of a humanoid figure. Before long, an illusionary appearance of Prince Julius appeared in front of his eyes.
It was his incarnation!
"I have a job for you." Charles paused for a moment as he looked at the incarnation, gave the letter to him, and continued.
"Go to the Azov Kingdom's capital and look for Irzoch in the mentioned address. I have a vague feeling that she might get herself killed if she goes after that Deceivers Organization member without any protection. Even the Demon Sorcerer Nash was powerful enough to stand equally against me in battle; so, I think this guy might also have something up in his sleeves like the coin necklace artifact."
Saying so, he took out the strange talisman coin necklace from his space ring and gave it to him.
"Give this artifact to her for protection. I also added this artifact's abilities and side effects in the letter. So, tell her to use it cautiously." He added.
In the meantime, the incarnation nodded its illusionary head and asked.
"Do you want me to protect her if anything dangerous occurs in my watch?"
"You can only act when she ends up in a life-threatening situation. Otherwise, stay should stay closer to her and wait for an opportunity to erase Luis's memories. Also, you have to be careful when casting the [Burning Consciousness] spell on him. Act more cautiousness and proceed only when he let his guard down during the battle." Charles responded in a solemn tone.
He was well aware of the shortcomings of his incarnation and decided to warn it.
