Fire Mage

Chapter 92: Princess

Charles took a step back, took out the Starfall Codex Magic Book from his space ring, and started flipping the pages at a fast speed.

In seconds, he stopped on the 15th page and spoke in his mind.

'Mr. Runeth, it's your job.'

Meanwhile, the Blood Priest stared at the surroundings, then towards the unconscious Aurora, and finally zeroed his gaze on Charles.

"Who are you? Why did you interfere with our plan?" His tone was cold as ice.

"What are you talking about? I should be the one who needs an explanation and an apology." Charles blinked his eyes innocently and responded with a smile.

Veins popped out of his forehead as Blood Priest looked up at the ominous three moons and started muttering an incantation in a foreign language. He didn't even delay a second as he noticed that the enemy was simply playing with him and made a swift decision.

"O Lord of Undying, please guide your faithful servant to seek revenge!"

As he ended the first verse, drops of blood started to fell from the sky and soon circled the brown-haired man like bees.

A moment later, the droplets gathered together and formed into two scarlet wings made of pure blood.

"O Lord of Blood, please protect your faithful serv-"

At that moment, the Holem's Crown finally finished its chanting and spoke in Charles's mind.

'Blind.'

A second later, the Blood Priest's vision turned blurry and soon went black!

Due to the sudden blindness, the Blood Priest almost lost his cool and stopped chanting.

"Curse Magic!" He gritted in anger and moved his hand towards his pocket.

'Steal his lifetime luck.'

On the other hand, Charles ordered the Holem's Crown coldly and pulled out the Ember Pistol from his space ring.

In the meantime, an invisible ripple came out from the red-gem embedded bracelet and soon absorbed the Blood Priest's luck madly.

With a calm face, Charles turned the hammer, aimed the pistol at the Blood Priest's forehead, and squeezed the trigger.

Bang!

A bullet made of pure fire came out of the pistol and soon landed on the confused man.

A bloody hole appeared on Blood Priest's forehead in a blink, and soon he fell on the ground.

"He talks too much," Charles said as he tossed a ball of fire on the twitching corpse and shook his head.

'Chanting during a battle is the dumbest idea.'

'Unlike other class mystics, these Fake Origin Path Mystics mostly rely on their God's power during battle. Without chanting, borrowing the power from their God is impossible. If Blood Priest had made some connection with the inner world, he might have a chance against you.' The Holem's Crown responded calmly.

Charles nodded his head in understanding and soon turned his gaze towards the unconscious Aurora.

'Hmm, it looks like it will take more than an hour.'

In the past few seconds, the [Fire Seed] spell already burned tens of memories and already sent the information to his mind.

In those memories, Charles also received a piece of important memory about a man named Leo and soon widened his eyes.

'An information broker, is it?' Charles nodded his head and soon went near the decapitated thief's body.

Then, he took Rhea's silver ring, went near the unconscious Aurora, and picked her upon his shoulder. After that, he walked into the right-side alley and soon disappeared from there.

…

A few minutes later, Charles arrived in front of a lone hut in the farther end of the alley and opened the wooden door with a kick. From one of her memories, he learned that this hut actually belongs to the thief.

He then placed her on the concrete floor and silently waited for his spell to absorb more memories.

One by one, the purple fire burned those memories inside Aurora's inner world and sent countless pieces of information to his mind.

Charles skimmed through those memories one by one. He soon learned most of her memories about the Chester City, Moon Kingdom's nobles, Slum Borough's gang leaders, information broker's real identity, secretive cult organizations, and so on.

After an hour, Charles suddenly noticed that the memories about her teenage appeared in his mind.

Among those memories, he learned that Aurora's father was actually a Duke of Iron Kingdom!

But due to some conspiracy, he was thrown into prison by the king and later killed in secret.

After that, the King of Iron Kingdom banished their family and sent them to exile.

But before they could escape from the kingdom, tens of assassins came after their heads and killed her family members one by one.

With the help of a butler, Aurora hid in a bush and escaped the assassination.

She then came to this city and became a member of the Poison Flowers gang.

Charles also read the information about her link with Blood Priest and soon learned that Priest was actually the butler who saved her. After the assassination incident, the butler went of his own and became a Blood Priest.

But what shocked him more was the real identity of Rhea!

'2nd Princess of Iron Kingdom, is it?' He was indeed surprised.

The butler kidnapped Rhea during another assassination incident in the Royal palace, manipulated her memories using an artifact, and stealthily brought her to Sweet Village.

He also picked three talented kids from the village that he was appointed to take care of and raised them as Rhea's future vessels!

They were Jessie, Titus, and Noel!

'It appears they planned on kidnapping Rhea from the very start.' Charles was indeed impressed by their life-long plan.

Aurora's and Blood Priest's main goal was to let Rhea become a mage and turn her against her own family by controlling her mind.

'What a foolish goal. Their plan has too many flaws.' He simply shook his head and dismissed the [Fire Seed] spell from Aurora's inner world.

He then took out a water pouch from his space ring and splashed the water on her pale face.

In a moment, she opened her deep-blue eyes and soon screamed in fright.

"W-Who are you?" She crawled backward as she stared at him with a terrified expression on her face and soon started to shiver uncontrollably.

"MOM! THIEF!!" She shouted for help.

Even Charles became dumbfounded by her sudden outburst and soon thought of a possibility.

'Could it be that my spell can burn the memories permanently from one's inner world? Now that I think about it, it is burning their memory, right?'

"Don't panic." He raised his voice a little and soon asked few questions about her gangs.

Although Aurora panicked at first, she finally calmed down a little and answered all those questions with a confused look on her face.

Once he heard those words, Charles stared at her for a second and nodded his head in understanding.

'So, this spell's main weakness is that it can permanently erase one's memory, huh. Moreover, she does recall vague memories of Chester City, but those memories seem like leftover memories.' He muttered to himself, then raised his hand and pointed his finger at Aurora.

A moment later, a crimson ray came out from his forefinger, arrived in front of her, and soon incinerated her body into ashes!
