Fire Mage

Chapter 135: Exposed

A moment later, Destiny Lady appeared right next to Charles and then looked around in confusion.

"Ashes… Amber Curse?" Her eyes soon widened in surprise.

She turned her gaze towards the blonde-haired man and soon furrowed her brows.

"You are Red Prince?" She asked.

In the meantime, Red Prince got utterly stunned by her arrival and narrowed his eyes.

'Why is she here?'

At that moment, he also turned his gaze towards the nearby ashes and soon widened his eyes.

'Something is not right! Why there are so many ashes here?… Wait… Could it be the cause of Amber Curse?' He clearly remembered that Charles was affected by the Wealth Curse and soon began to think.

'He first killed Lydia… Then, he turned his appearance into the Professor's one and hid in the Tower of Elements… Then there is the big commotion that almost caused countless variations in Fate… Even when I checked my Destiny Guide, I saw no variations in the Fate at all. So, I didn't put much thought into the outside commotion and thought it was a perfect opportunity to sneak inside the tower and kill Charles… This situation… Is he the one who planned all this? Where is the Holem's Crown? Did he lure me here on purpose?'

A cold glint appeared in Red Prince's eyes as he thought of such possibility.

'I really did underestimate Eve's son.' He let out a deep sigh and muttered.

"Fate Swift."

A second later, his face turned serious as he felt that his fate skill was not activating at all!

'Someone locked the space?' He soon moved his gaze towards the black-haired woman.

Meanwhile, Destiny Lady turned her gaze towards Charles and soon furrowed her brows.

"Robert? What are you doing here?" She asked.

Upon hearing her question, Charles changed his face into an anxious one, pointed his forefinger at Red Prince, and spoke in trembling tone.

"He… He killed Professor Warren!"

"What did you say?!" A freeze aura came out from Destiny Lady's body, and soon icy layers started to form on the concrete floor.

Charles wiped the sweats on his forehead and continued in the same trembling voice.

"I-I came to the fifth layer to look for ritual materials, Tower Master. But when I entered the Storage Hall, I saw P-Professor Warren's corpse on the floor. Someone slit his throat and killed him."

Saying so, Charles turned his gaze towards Red Prince and continued.

"I hurriedly walked out of the Storage Hall in fear and then thought of informing others. But when I walk past the Amber Hall, I heard footsteps from inside. With some courage, I walked into this hall and saw this man turning all those gold coins to ashes. Then, you appeared, Tower Master."

The corner of Red Prince's lips twitched as he saw Charles's acting. If not for him being the victim, even he would have believed his words.

In the meantime, Destiny Lady nodded her head and started walking towards Red Prince.

Whenever she took a step forward, countless icy spikes would pop out from the ground and spread towards the surroundings continuously.

"It looks like talking won't solve the problem." Red Prince muttered in a grave tone, conjured a ball of black fire, and turned it into a long sharp sword. The sword appeared eerie and gave off a feeling of wickedness.

Charles's eyes squinted as he saw the black flame.

'This should be the Hell Fire.' He nodded thoughtfully, straightened his back, and got ready for the battle.

On the other hand, a think crystal-like blade appeared in Destiny Lady's hand as she tilted her hand and threw it towards Red Prince.

With a whooshing sound, the blade tore through the air and moved forward at a fast speed.

Watching this, Red Prince suddenly curled his lips upward and spoke in an unknown language.

The next instant, Destiny Lady felt her vision blurred all of a sudden!

Before she could think further, she found herself standing at the center of the hall!

Not only that, but she also saw her own ice blade coming towards her throat at a fast speed!

At that moment, she realized that the other party was also the [Fate Warden] Class and turned serious.

The next second, countless fate strings appeared in her mind and soon formed into hundreds of visions.

"Hmm? Your target is Robert?" She tilted her head in confusion and waved her hand.

A moment later, layers of crystalline Ice shields appeared in front of her and blocked the ice blade.

She then tapped her foot on the floor and disappeared from there. The next instant, her figure suddenly appeared in front of Charles while showing her back to him.

But unlike before, she held a strange eye-like thing in her hand and spoke in a calm tone.

"Let the 'Blood' decides your Fate."

The next moment, Charles and Red Prince saw cracks appear all over the floor and soon began to change into red sandy soil.

At that moment, they heard a rippling water sound from their right side and turned their heads in unison.

There, they saw an eerie river filled with a reddish liquid.

"Blood River!" A grim look appeared on Red Prince's face as he took a step back and looked around.

The surrounding had already turned into a completely different scene filled with barren lands, strange blood rivers, ponds, and creepy leafless trees. Not only that, but they also heard cawing noises from the sky and widened their eyes in shock.

Up in the dark sky, they saw thousands of ravens and crows were circling in the sky and appeared to be watching their prey.

A chill went up to Charles's spine as he felt countless eerie gazes from all directions!

'An Illusion?'

At that moment, Red Prince frowned a bit and was about to inhale the air but froze.

'There is no air here!' He felt suffocated all of a sudden.

His eyes soon turned redder, and he started to feel heavy in his chest area.

'Did someone pull us into their own Domain?' His pupil contracted as he thought of a possibility.

'This looks more like a Blood Domain… No, it's not a real domain. A Pseudo-Domain?' He began to think faster in his mind.

Meanwhile, Charles also began to sweat all over.

'This is not in my plan.' He took a breath and soon noticed strangeness.

'I can breathe normally?' He blinked his eyes in surprise.

'Could it be because of the [Sun Glare] spell?'

He nodded inwardly and then started to act like he was also having a hard time breathing.

Simultaneously, he showed nervousness on his face and then looked at the black-haired woman in wariness.

She was the only one who stood on the reddish land with a calm expression on her face!

No, she even inhales and exhales from time to time and appeared relaxed in the filthy atmosphere!

Upon noticing Charles's gaze, she turned her head towards his direction and let out a chuckle.

"Do you think you could fool me with your pathetic acting, Imposter? Now, die."

Saying so, she conjured a reddish ice blade and swiftly threw it in his direction.????????????????????????????. c????????
