Chapter 151: Emotions and Spell Models

Charles didn't think for a moment before he put those two free attributes points into wisdom. Then, he glanced at the remaining Exp points.

'There are still 18,069 Exp points left.' Charles furrowed his brows and shifted his attention towards the spellbook option.

Soon, he zeroed his attention on the [Incinerate] spell model and started to read the corresponding spell models.

[Chaos Bane (11,460), Wielder's Wrath (10,405), Needle of Ember (14,530), Chaos Ignition (13,506), Demon's Glare (12,440), Finger of Evil (13,705), Chaos Eruption (14,130), etc.,]

'Wow, there are so many destruction-type spells.' He muttered inwardly and read the descriptions quietly.

After a few minutes, he zeroed his gaze on the [Needle of Ember] and then started to read.

[Needle of Ember- A needle will form when casting this spell and would move under the caster's Will. Not only that, but the caster can also control this needle with his thoughts and make it explode at any time. If the explosion erupts inside a person's body, chaos energy hidden in the Needle of Ember will enter their blood and soul and corrupt them from inside. This spell can even kill a Rank-3 Mystic in 30 seconds. Moreover, this Needle of Ember can also break any Rank-3 shield spells and could be useful for assassinations!]

Once he read the description, he didn't think for a moment before he chose to construct it.

,530 Exp points disappeared in a blink.

Charles didn't put much thought into it as he closed his eyes and entered the Inner World.

'Hmm, a few memories are gone… They are all my previous life ones.' A frown appeared on his forehead.

Although he managed to control the situation using his 'Clone,' he still felt lost inside.

'That foreign power seems to have come from the class gem. When I consumed the class gem, it released some type of unique foreign energy and tried to break the shackle. At that same time, it also affected my mind and started to corrupt the memories.'

'But why didn't I get affected by this foreign force when ranking up my sub-class? Moreover, I didn't even felt anything uncomfortable when I advanced from Rank-1 to Rank-2.' His eyes narrowed in suspicion.

At that moment, there suddenly thought of his Inner World.

'Could it be that it managed to enter my Inner World is mainly because of me? I did enter my Inner World earlier than other mystics, right? Possible. But that still doesn't explain why I felt no change when I ranked up the Mischievous Class Mystic… Maybe it had something to do with one's action? For example, I'm constantly using disguise skills and acting more like a full-time disguiser. On the other hand, I barely use the Fire Magic spells. And, these spell models seem to have some connection with one's emotions.' Charles suddenly halted his thoughts and soon flew up towards seven spell models.

Within five seconds, he arrived in front of the spell models and soon zeroed his gaze on a specific left corner spell model.

Currently, hundreds of runal letters were coming out from below and assimilating into the hexagonal spell model!

'This spell model has chaos element…' Charles furrowed his brows and soon noticed a change in his own emotions.

'Anger? Wrath?' He started at the spell model for a moment and got puzzled.

'Why are these spell models inducing my emotions?' He frowned a bit and soon recalled a line from Fire Mage Helen's book.

'When Helen explained about the spell models, he did mention that he gain enlightenment by staring at a flame and created his first spell model. At that moment, he wanted to be free like a dancing fire… He wanted freedom… He wanted to be a free man. So, that caused him to create a 'Fire Wings' spell model.' A look of understanding appeared on Charles's face.

'Hmm, Chaos represents destruction and evil… So, this spell model represents my anger, wrath, and cold attitude.' Even he was surprised by the strange linking.

While the system was constructing the [Needle of Ember] spell model, he turned his attention towards the [Red Wings] spell model and began to feel his deep emotion.

A moment later, confusion appeared on his face.

'Wickedness? Why?'

'No, it's not a strange thing. I assassinated countless people using many wicked acts and even got addicted to killing. But after avenging my parents, I somehow regained my rationality and sealed that emotion deep in my heart. After that, I never involved myself in killing and escaped from the assassination organization…'

'But when I was transmigrated into this world, I had no other choice but to kill others to survive. Till now, I didn't felt any pleasure in killing others. But that doesn't mean those emotions had disappeared from me… This wing spell is a disguise of Wickedness. My sealed dark emotions had already invaded into this one and seemed to be rooted firmly.' A grim look appeared on his face.

At that moment, he subconsciously thought of Hell-Fire.

'It's a fire that is purely filled with Evilness and Wickedness. Runeth also told me earlier to stay away from it at all cost.' A wry smile appeared on his face.

'It seems I need to pay extra attention to my actions and keep in check. Otherwise, I might once again walk into the path of darkness.' He took a note in his mind and then flew to the [Fire Seed] spell model.

'It indicates calm and composed emotions.' He wasn't surprised by this one at all.

Nodding his head, he turned his gaze towards the [Soul Heal] and soon frowned.

'Love and Care? No, this spell is in very imperfect condition. I only cared for a few people, so these two emotions are barely showing in this spell model. Is it the cause of the abnormality during rank-up? Does that mean I have to love someone or show caring emotions on someone to make this spell model stabilize?' He narrowed his eyes in confusion.

'No, I have to do it to stabilize the spell model. Hmm, this one doesn't suit me at all. It's like forced onto me.' He shook his head helplessly.

'It seems I need to show some care and love to others. Otherwise, I might turn into some monster when ranking up.' He suddenly halted his thought and soon recalled his mandatory quest.

'Save the Iron Kingdom from its doom… Did the system want me to do some good deeds so that I could stabilize the spell model?' He got baffled for a second as he came to a strange conclusion.

Shaking his head, he once again turned his gaze and moved towards the next spell model.

It was the False Blink spell model.

'It's cunning and cautiousness? Hmm, this one suits the manipulation spell.' He nodded his head and then turned his gaze towards the sixth spell, Crimson Robe.

'It's righteousness. Why the hell is this emotion in this place? No, it's not righteousness, but protecting others. It's Lawful. Hmm, I did protect the former boss while putting my life on the line many times, so there is nothing strange about it appearing here. Humph, this one can be easily manipulated. If I lie to myself and thought that particular actions are lawful ones, I can indirectly influence my deep emotions and stabilize the spell model.' A smile appeared on his face.

Then, he turned his gaze towards the right side corner and stared at the [Elemental Body] spell model in deep thoughts.

'There is no emotion in it… This spell gives me a new feeling…Newborn?' Confusion appeared on his face.

'Newborn? What does it represent? Wait… It's the Rebirth Flame!' His illusionary eyes widened.

'But what does it represent? Reborn? Is it indicating my rebirth? Past and present?' Although he couldn't understand anything about this strange spell model, he could feel that this spell model was the most stable one among the seven spell models!

'This is a huge discovery. I need to put more thought into these spell models before ranking up.' Charles nodded his head and soon turned his attention towards the [Needle of Ember] spell model.

Then, he went near it and started to wait for the construction to complete.

Two hours later, the spell model appeared larger than other spell models and shone in bright red light.

'It's 2 hours and 12 minutes, not bad.' He nodded his head and withdrew his consciousness from the Inner World.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and started to think.

'Hmm, I have to farm more Exp points and construct all other Rank-3 spell models before focusing on the mandatory mission. Moreover, I also need to save some Exp for leveling up both classes.'

While he was in muse, he took out a large scroll from his space ring and placed it on his lap.

It was a map of Savage Forest, which he picked up near the tent earlier.

'There are two settlements located near this waterfall. One is a group of Ember Golems, while the other one is Crimson Birds.' From the Orc's memories, he could tell that both were dangerous races and were hard to kill.

'Which one should I pick up?' He thought for a moment and finally zeroed his gaze on a volcanic mountain.

That's where the settlement of Ember Golems was located!

He didn't waste a moment before he took out the long sword from his space ring, placed it on his waist, and started walking towards the underground cave's exit.
