Fire Mage

Chapter 307: Cloning

While he was in muse, Edith arrived next to him and asked.

"When will I get the clone body?"

"I'll create one after leaving the Inner World," Charles responded calmly.

A smile appeared on Edith's face.

"That's good." She paused for a moment as she recalled something and asked.

"How are we going to change our Destiny?"

Her tone was serious.

Unlike the clone Charles, she knew how grave the situation was and felt some pressure inside.

On the other hand, Charles felt silent.

He was still clueless about that problem.

Although the Book of Secrets artifact could help him see into the far future, he didn't have enough time to do divinations for days.

Moreover, there seemed to be something obstructing him from finding out more about the clue.

'Thankfully, my work has been reduced to half.' He muttered inwardly, shifted his attention at Edith, and spoke.

"Whenever you are free, you can use the Book of Secrets and check for clues about how to evade our death. Although it will be a challenging task, this is worth a shot."

Meanwhile, Edith furrowed her brows and showed a troubled look on her face.

"But I need to help Mr. Runeth from time to time, right? Moreover, I have to comprehend the [Black Inferno] spell model."

Charles shook his head and responded calmly.

"You don't need to spell all of your time on doing this divination work. 10 hours per day is more than enough. If you spend 10 hours a day on the Books of Secrets artifact, you can see more than 500 vision images. I will give you 5 years. You will have a total of 18,250 hours. With such an amount of time, you will be able to see around 1 million vision images. Among those images, a single clue is all I needed. I want a single clue to evade my death."

"A single clue, huh." Edith blinked her eyes and nodded.

Meanwhile, Charles enveloped his body in a crimson flame and left his Inner World.

A moment later, he opened his eyes in his room and stood up from the bed.

Then, he went to the bathroom, took a long bath, changed his cloth into a formal one, and left his room.

After that, he moved to the reception hall, walked past the kitchen and dining hall, and soon arrived in front of the underground basement's iron shutter.

He opened the shutter, walked into the basement through the stairs, and reached the basement hall.

At that moment, Oswald sat on the wooden chair and seemed to be in the middle of creating the Tower Core.

Once Charles walked into the hall, he didn't disturb him and directly moved towards the glassy cloning pod.

Currently, the cloning pod was filled with blue-colored liquid and appeared mysterious.

The whole cloning pod was engraved in runal characters!

Although Charles got the [Cloning] skill after he ranked up, he knew it wasn't easy to produce a clone.

Before starting the cloning process, one needed to make preparations and create a suitable environment, nutrition, and few other things.

When he ranked up to a Rank-5 [Cloner], Charles received some information about performing the cloning process.

'First is to prepare a container or pod for clone's growth. Thankfully, I'm not clueless.' Charles muttered inwardly, released his wisdom power, and soon floated up in the air.

He then took out a glass jar filled with 'Life' water and poured them into the blue liquid.

After that, he also added a few other liquids into the cloning pod and finally took out an old model syringe.

He then extracted a few drops of blood from his vein, moved the syringe towards the pot's lid, and put a single drop of blood into it.

Simultaneously, he stored the syringe into his space ring and started to chant.

But unlike the previous times, the words that appeared out of his mouth were unique and ancient.

Each word seemed to hold some mysterious power, causing the fire torches to flicker intensively!

At that moment, even Oswald stopped his work and stared at him with a serious look on his face.

Although more than 12,000 years had passed since the appearance of Class Gem paths, many things remained mysterious!

One among them was this mysterious cloning method that was unique to Trickster Class Mystics.

"Is this some primordial time race's dialect?" He couldn't help but fantasize about it.

Meanwhile, something extraordinary happened inside the cloning pot.

As the single drop of blood entered the bluish liquid, it didn't disperse!

Instead, it remained like a crystalline droplet and started to descend.

At the same time, some invisible power came from Charles's body and started enveloping the blood droplet.

Then, it induced something within the blood cells.

A strange mutation took place!

The blood droplet began to shape-change, shone in golden light, and soon formed into a small fetus-like thing!

At that moment, Oswald suddenly stood up from his chair and stared at the fetus in confusion.

He felt a strange fluctuation from the fetus and felt a familiarity.

Soon, his expression changed.

"It's the power of ancient race's bloodline! But which race?" A frown appeared on his face.

'Shape-shifters? But I never heard of a shape-shifter having prediction-like abilities… In truth, humans are the ones who are good at prediction-related things…' He suddenly stopped thinking and recalled a memory.

'There is something else I read from a stone slate when exploring the Titans' Golden Ruins. It's about an ancient legend. In the legend, it says that Humans once had similar traits to shape-shifters. But something happened during the Age of Origin Time.'

'The Mythical Races disappeared. After that incident, Humans started to lose their shape-shifting abilities and only retained the prediction ability. After some generations, they completely turned into normal Humans. They became mortals and were slaughtered by magical beasts and other races. When the Humans were about to extinct, an ancient researcher deciphered the High-Elves' Rune Language and created a unique path. Mage Path.'

'That's when Humans started to rise. They manage to break the shackle of mortals and started evolving. They created potions to break the shackles and even showed interest in different fields to broaden their horizon. Some even managed to awaken their prediction abilities and started grasping their own future.'

'That's how Ancient Mages started to rise. Still, no one understood why the humans lost their bloodline abilities. Could this be related? Does this [Trickster] Series Class actually have some relation with Ancient Human bloodline?' He widened his eyes in disbelief.

Although there were just his speculations, he couldn't help but get shocked inside.

At that moment, Charles also ended the mysterious chanting and descended to the floor.

Then, he activated [Arcane Eyes] and shifted his attention towards his body.

His vision turned blurry all of a sudden and soon showed a foggy humanoid appearance.

Yes, his hands, feet, and body appeared more like a fog!

'Soul Form.' Charles nodded inwardly, moved his right hand, and ripped a small amount of the foggy material.

At that moment, he felt a deep pain appeared from the depth of his soul!

"Life of Fire!" Charles hurriedly muttered and enveloped his body in bluish flame.

But he didn't get anxious and turned his gaze towards a small cloud-like thing in his hand.

It was a fraction of his soul called Soul Shard!

As long as this Soul Shard was in this clone's body, the clone wouldn't face any retaliation from the Will of the World!

Charles then deactivated the [Arcane Eyes] skill, took a few steps forward, and arrived in front of the glass pod.

Then, he raised his hand and placed the Soul Shard on the glassy pod.

Just as the Soul Shard touched the glass, it directly passed into the pod and soon absorbed into the tiny fetus.

"It's over." Charles breathed out a sigh of relief and soon noticed a change on his skin.

He now appeared a bit older than before!

'I spent 50 years of lifespan on this clone.' He smiled bitterly and turned his gaze towards the dumbfounded Oswald.
