Fire Mage

Chapter 582: Amulet of Mind Blank

Meanwhile, Professor gripped his fist tighter and made a deep sigh.

'Destiny Conquerors' Leader finally made his move. But that doesn't matter anymore. My only problem now is Charles. Is he really decided to stay quit from this game? I don't think so-' He was just about to use his fate power and check for his whereabouts again; his vision suddenly turned blurry and showed him a single vision.

It was the vision of a 30-year-old man desperately running in the green forest. His black hair was messy, his tan face was covered in sweat and dirt, and he almost looked like he had gone through many life-and-death situations.

Professor even saw a familiar strange owl sitting on his shoulder and seemed to be in a sleepy state.

'What? A destiny alteration at this time?'

He blinked his eyes twice and muttered.

"Marvin? And what is he doing with the strange owl I saw at the Rocky Street. Wait, I started facing difficulty in tracking Charles's location after he went there... Moreover, there types of alteration visions would only occur when I was about to face life-threatening danger. Does that mean Marvin has the power to change this whole situation?" He couldn't help but get confused.

"And, where is he right now? That place almost looked like some kind of dense forest. There isn't any dense forest in Miracle City, though. Wait! He is in Tower of Mirrors!" He instantly stood up from his seat and felt more puzzled.

"But how does his current action affect my plan?" At that moment, a certain legend about the 'Core Access Card' in the Tower of Mirrors appeared in his head.

'Could that legend be true?' His expression turned grim.

'What the f*ck! How much did Charles mess up my plan? This isn't in my calculation at all!' He instantly took out a strange black book from his cupboard and started doing some divination.

'I must find out Marvin's.... No, that strange owl's destination before I go to the Auditorium.'

He tried different methods but found only useless information.

Finally, after an hour of continuous divination, he managed to get an important clue.

'Auditorium... What? Isn't my destination also the same place? F*ck! I completely wasted my time.' He cursed inwardly, hurriedly checked his silver bracelet, and noticed that multiple calls were coming from John.

'There is only 45 minutes left for the final battle.' He instantly connected his wisdom power with the soul imprint in the silver bracelet and contacted John.

A few seconds later, he heard a familiar voice from the other side.

"What happened, Professor? I thought something bad happened to you."

Meanwhile, Professor let out a deep sigh and spoke.

"I'm okay. So, why did you call me this many times? Everything is going according to the plan, right?"

"Almost everything is perfect, Sir. But the Destiny Conquerors members are acting little strange. From the looks of it, only 8 of them will be planning to participate in our plan. As for others, I can't even find out their current locations." John spoke from the other side.

"Hmm, its a big problem indeed. The reason I pull this whole stunt is not only to kill Raphael but also to keep the Destiny Conquerors' leader in check. It seems I'll have no choice but to stop him myself if he interfers in our plan. Anyway, proceed with more caution. I have a vague feeling that more anomalies might appear." Saying so, he cut the call.

After that, Professor quietly changed his cloth into a single-breasted black suit and calmly left his house.

...

Bronze Lane, Underground District, Miracle City.

It was around 3.30 P.M.

To be exact, it was 3'o clock, 32 minutes, 56 seconds.

At that moment, a headless charred body stood in the middle of the empty road and slowly fell backward.

Meanwhile, Charles suddenly appeared a few meters away from the deceased body and breathed a sigh of relief.

Among all of them, assassinating this person took him more time than ever.

"Hazel. She had so many tricks up in her sleeves.' But what shocked him most was that she even had a defensive artifact to block his mind fire from entering her Inner World!

Moreover, even his [Curse of the Overlord] spell didn't work on her!

If not for him pulling her directly into his [Rebirth Domain], she might have already alerted all the powerhouses in this miracle city!

'Thankfully, I managed to kill her.' He slowly walked towards the charred body, bent down his waist, and took the unique silver necklace with the amulet from her neck.

It was the item that made him almost lose his calm.

He quietly removed the remnant soul imprint of the Destiny Conqueror and imprinted it with his own.

A moment later, he couldn't help but get surprised.

"Amulet of Mind Blank: It's a nature artifact that creates a mental barrier, making the user's soul form undetectable to others." Although the description was shot, it was enough for him to realize how precious this was.

"Congratulations, Mr. Abium." A familiar voice suddenly came from the left side alley, and a young auburn-haired woman soon walked out. She had unique jade eyes, long hair tied into a ponytail, a pretty round face, plump reddish lips, and thin eyebrows. She wore a gown-type dress made of unique silk and even held an umbrella.

"Hayley?" Charles was surprised but soon frowned as he looked into her eyes.

"You are not Hayley, right? Who are you?" His voice turned colder.

Meanwhile, the mysterious woman in Hayley's appearance suddenly widened her smile and made an elegant bow.

"I've many names, Mr. Charles. But now, I go by the name 'Anangu.' You seems to know a lot about me even though I only know about you pretty recently, though. To be exact, I only learned about you this morning." As she spoke, she started walking closer to him.

On the other hand, Charles went into vigilant mode and got ready to cast any spell at any time.

Noticing his concern and wariness, she let out a chuckle and added.

"Why are you so vigilant? Don't worry. The city's defense mechanism has already returned to normal. Even if I thinking of attacking you, I'll be the one bombarded with level-6 spells."

"What are you scheming? What do you want?" Charles felt even more anxious as he stared at this strange beauty and asked stiffly.

Meanwhile, Anangu tilted her head, blinked twice, and soon widened her eyes.

Then, a mysterious smile appeared on her face.

"Interesting. So, you didn't get my dagger from someone else but picked it up, huh? Who is that prankster child?" While speaking, she had already arrived much closer to him and gave him a deep look.

'What the heck is happening right now? And how did she even find out about that dagger?' Although countless questions were whirling in his head, he didn't think too much about it and decided to give that strange dagger to her.

Although Hayley's current strength was only around Rank-5 Mystic, he vaguely felt he wasn't even an opponent before her.

As if she had read his thoughts, she chuckled and spoke calmly.

"No. You're completely wrong. I'm a lot weaker than you right now. If not, why should I even need to seek help from you?"

A silence appeared in the Bronze Lane.

[I advise you not to make her mad and cooperate with her, Host. Although she might be weak, the mere news of her being alive might cause restlessness all over the universe.] Genesis's voice echoed in his head.

'I know that too. But there is something I will never do. It's working for free.' He muttered and soon spoke.

"I can give that dagger to you without any problem. But you've to offer me something in return."

"Oh? What do you want? Although I'm literally broke now, I'll not break my promise and give you something special later." Anangu said calmly.

Meanwhile, Charles pondered momentarily, quickly took out the dagger from his space ring, and gave it to her.

In truth, he wasn't even in the mood to negotiate with her now.

'I've lots of other work to do. Although I have many questions about this coincidental meeting, I'll try my best to avoid her.' While he was in muse, Anangu caught the dagger with her soft hand and quietly gripped it while raising the tip toward the sky.

"You know something, young man. This weapon is actually the one that killed me before. It always seeks blood, chaos, and destruction. Anyway, thanks for bringing this to me. I really didn't expect Zaqiel to keep this safe all the time."

Her words suddenly piqued Charles's interest.

"Who is Goddess Zaqiel to you? Is she still alive?" He couldn't help but ask. When he went to Faith Realm, he always felt something was off about her and became more curious.

"Oh? Zaqiel? Some call her Mother Goddess, while others call her Nature Deity. As for the relationship between us, it's more like we are the same. I'm her, and she is me." While speaking, she put the dagger inside her space ring and finally shifted her attention to Charles.

"She is your clone? Something like that?" Charles asked in puzzlement.

"It's more like we are twins. Anyway, it's time for me to go." She was about to leave but suddenly stopped as she recalled something.

"If you don't mind, help me kill Fate Professor later. Go to Auditorium and wait for me there. Meanwhile, I'll finish some unfinished business and return there on time." Saying so, she hastened toward the nearby gloomy alley and soon disappeared from his sight.
