Chapter 141: Genius Level Affinity

Before the 'Will' could withdraw from Edhen, Charles suddenly took out the red-droplet embedded ring.

Upon sensing the power hidden in the Blood Droplet, the reddish humanoid figure suddenly stopped its movement and focused its attention on the blood droplet.

'The Plane's 'Will' really seem to have emotions.' Charles raised his hand and tossed it towards the reddish humanoid figure.

Once the ring landed on the humanoid figure, a bright light appeared!

It was so dazzling that it caused Charles to shut his eyes voluntarily!

After two seconds, the brightness started to diminish and soon absorbed into the reddish humanoid figure.

"State your request, mortal." The 'Will' of Fire Elemental Plane asked in a strange tone.

Meanwhile, Charles nodded his head and spoke in a solemn tone.

"I want you to increase my Fire Affinity."

"Request accepted." The same strange voice came from the reddish humanoid figure.

A moment later, it raised its hand, created a drop of yellowish liquid, and sent it towards his chest.

The yellowish ball flew slowly and soon landed on Charles's body.

The next instant, a yellowish fire started to spread and covered his whole body!

Simultaneously, he felt a sharp pain from the depths of his mind as he shut his eyes in pain.

Like a stabbing needle, the pain continued to remain for the next few seconds and then disappeared.

When he opened his eyes, there was no humanoid figure remain on the ritual circle.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a strange sensation and felt like he was reborn as new!

'Even though my body is bathing in fire, I didn't even feel any pain at all. No, I'm feeling very comfortable.'

Simultaneously, he also felt some deep understanding of the yellowish fire.

While he was in muse, Charles suddenly saw a few notifications in front of his eyes and soon widened his eyes.

[Host's mind is currently entering into an enlightened state!]

[Host's [Flame Body] spell model is being upgraded]

[Please standby…]

Meanwhile, the twelve fire rings started to circle and soon entered his body.

In a second, those twelve circles entered his mind and soon appeared in front of the [Flame Body] spell model.

Charles hurriedly sat on the flat rock, closed his eyes, and soon entered the Inner World.

In a second, Charles appeared in front of the [Flame Body] spell model and soon widened his illusionary eyes.

At that moment, multiple fire threads started coming out from those twelve fire circles and entered the spell model one by one.

This process continued for the next five minutes, and soon those twelve circles got wholly absorbed into the spell model.

A moment later, the spell model shone in bright light and appeared larger than the previous one.

It looked like a web-like hexagonal-shaped red crystal!

When Charles thought that the whole process was over, suddenly a long red lightning-like streak came out from the spell model and directly entered his body!

Confusion appeared on Charles's face and soon turned into a shock.

At that moment, he felt that his whole body was electrocuted all of a sudden!

Then, the streak of red lightning turned into minute lines and entered every part of his body.

After that, those lines turned invisible and then disappeared!

Charles instantly looked below and checked what the changes that appeared in the depths of his Inner World were.

Unlike before, the whole world was now filled with dense elemental energy.

Those energies even affected some of his illusions and turned most of the illusionary places into fire-related ones.

'No, those memories are still in my mind. The only change is that my whole Inner World seemed to be merging into one single world. Is it due to my Fire Mage Class?' He pondered.

Charles soon withdrew his consciousness and opened his eyes.

Soon, he grinned as he saw a notification.

[Rank-1 Flame Body spell model has been upgraded to Rank-2 Elemental Body spell model!]

He stood up from the flat rock and opened his arms wider.

'Let's see how much fire I can control without casting the spells.' He nodded thoughtfully and conjured a ball of fire.

It soon enlarged into a 1-meter radius, then to a 5-meter radius, and soon formed into a 10-meter radius in size.

With a simple thought, that giant fireball started to change shape and form a large bird-like structure!

'This…' He stared at the terrifying bird with a wide gaped mouth and soon waved his hand.

The monstrous bird started to shrink in size a moment later and condensed into a dark reddish spear.

'I can't control this condensed flame spear for a long time. Hmm, this spear seems to hold equal power as the ones Destiny Lady released during the battle. But unlike her, I can hardly produce one from my Inner World. If my guess is right, this spear might have the power to destroy any Rank-3 defensive spell.' His amber eyes shone in excitement as he studied the spear.

'But there is also a drawback, though. When using this type of raw elemental power to create a spear, it is taking too much energy and draining my mental power. If I use this twice, I won't be able to cast spell models at all.' Charles thought inwardly and started walking towards the Holem's Crown.

'Can you check my current affinity level?' He asked in excitement as he arrived in front of the circular rock and took the cane.

'Okay, I will check now.' The Holem's Crown responded in his mind and soon went silent.

After a whole minute of long silence, the Holem's Crown let out a sigh and spoke in his mind.

'Excellent, you have 'Genius' level Fire Affinity now.'

Upon hearing those words, Charles subconsciously smiled.

'There are still two more levels, Prodigy and Divine. If I want to increase my affinity again, I think I need more than a drop of God's blood. Well, this is not something I should worry about it now.' He muttered inwardly and then turned his gaze towards the ritual area.

Letting out a heavy sigh, he spent some time cleaning the ritual circle and started climbing down from the small rocky hill.

By the time he reached the campsite, the sky had long turned dark.

As he went near the campfire, he saw that the kids sat near the campfire and were in the middle of discussing something.

But once they noticed his arrival, they stood up in a hurry and glanced at each other.

Before Charles could ask about their sneaky behavior, Jessie took out a grey fur rabbit from her void pouch and gave it to Charles.

"Titus killed it a while ago and we thought of grilling this rabbit for dinner, Teacher. But we didn't know how to skin and clean."

Furrowing his brows, Charles took the rabbit from her hand, checked the neck region, and nodded.

After that, he took out a sharp silver knife, a can of water, and some other materials from his space ring.

Then, he made a swift cut and removed the fur and skin. After that, he used the knife to make a perfect incision and started removing the waste materials like intestines, gallbladder, pancreas, etc.

After that, he washed the meat with water thrice and started cutting it into small pieces.

On the other hand, the kids watched his action with wide eyes and even started asking questions about skinning.

While answering their questions, Charles started to think deeply about his next goal.

'What is my next goal? I already increased my affinity level, so I can relax a bit and started to focus on increase my strength. I currently have 2852 Exp points, so my next job is to find a safe place and farm Exp from the Fire Elemental Plane. Then, I will focus on comprehending the spell models and Rank Up.'

'My next question is about the game system. When I planned such a grand scheme, it didn't give any new quest and remained dead. Why is that? Does it only send out quest missions when my life is truly in danger?' A frown appeared on his face as he took out a separate plate and placed four legs on it.

'It seems so. During the last mission, I have complete control over the whole situation. Although Destiny Lady pulled us into a strange Blood Pocket Dimension and caused some change in my plan, I still had the [Mark of Destination] spell mark as a backup.' He nodded his head in enlightenment.

'Now is about my current situation. Staying here in this Moon Kingdom is not an option. Although the Tower Masters still didn't found any clues about how I stole the Divine's Blood droplet, it won't long before they find out the truth. Once they invite a [Historian] Class Mystic and check the past, they will definitely find some odd about Rhea and Noel. After that, they will also get suspicious about our disappearance and would start a large-scale search.' Charles's gaze soon moved towards Rhea.

'Should I go to the Iron Kingdom? Yeah, that seems to be the best choice for me.' He nodded inwardly and gave the rabbit meat to Jessie.
