Chapter 250: Nemesis of the Inner World

As the 'purple Charles' continued to cast tens of [Knowledge Absorber] spells, countless bony hands suddenly crawled out from the dark sand!

Within a second, hundreds of skeletons appeared in front of him!

Among them, there was even a similar black-robed skeleton that appeared at the center.

It was Reid's third consciousness!

Behind that consciousness, another black-robed skeleton figure appeared.

Fourth!

At that time, the purple Charles's lips started to go upward and soon formed into a wicked smile.

Before the two consciousness skeletons could even understand the situation, he cast hundreds [Fire Seed] spells and tossed at them like seeds.

No, a sea of purple flame appeared in front of them and started devouring the skeletons!

Even those two black-robed consciousnesses stood no chance against those eerie purple flames!

If Reid's main consciousness was here, he could have battled against Charles's consciousness and killed it within a few seconds.

Unfortunately, Reid's main consciousness was currently stuck in the Dream World!

Charles didn't even show any hesitation and used his full power to summon [Fire Seed] and [Knowledge Absorber] spell continuously.

Within two seconds, the whole surroundings bathed in the sea of purple fire!

Only the two black-robed skeletons manage to escape from the flame and tried to summon undead skeletons.

But those small skeletons were some part of Reid's memories, so all of them turned into ashes when they met the strange purple flames.

On the other hand, those purple lightning-like fire arcs flew in every direction, found the precious memories, burned them, and sent the information to Charles's Inner World!

Like Charles read the description, this spell turned into a nemesis of Reid's Inner World!

…

Meanwhile, Charles unsheathed the golden hilted dagger, gripped it in his right hand, stepped on the dais, and moved towards the throne quickly.

As he moved, he perceived everything in slow motion!

At the same time, he cast [Vision] skill and received tens of future images.

'Once I step near the throne, Reid will use a Rank-4 [Death Blade] spell, but I will block it using [Sun's Guard] spell. After that, he will stand up from his throne and move… His movement speed will be way above normal and it will catch me off guard…'

'He will punch me in the stomach, grip my head and slam me on the dais. After that, he will summon a foggy ghost and let it touch me. That ghost has the power to increase my age at an unimaginable speed and I will lose more than 5 years before casting [Flame Teleportation] spell… Then, I will try to steal his black bracelet in his right hand…? Black Bracelet? Why? Could it be?' His eyes widened.

'But when I'm about to succeed, his main consciousness will return from the Dream World and stop me from stealing it. Then, he will summon tens of ghosts with different unique abilities, and force me to use the Holem's Crown's Travel Leap spell…'

It only took less than one second for him to read all those images!

'Damn, this skeleton is not an average foe.'

But he wasn't anxious at all.

'He has many trump cards, so do I.'

Charles curled his lips upward, raised his left hand, pointed his finger at the skeleton, and cast [Finger of Destruction] spell!

Simultaneously, he cast [Sleight of Mystery Hand] skill and let it crept towards Demi-Lich's right hand.

At that moment, a reddish ray of chaotic fire came out from his hand, condensed into a thin bullet, and moved towards the skeleton's head at a fast speed.

"Humph." Reid snorted coldly and closed the black book.

An invisible black ripple came out from his chest area a moment later and completely enveloped him like a force field.

The next second, Charles's [Finger of Destruction] spell and the force-field collide against each other.

A banging sound echoed in the Throne Hall as his chaos bullet made the whole invisible force-field crack before disappearing.

At that moment, Charles arrived in front of the force field, raised his dagger, and infused his wisdom power into it.

A sharp, threatening aura appeared around the edges as he slashed it and tore the force-field like paper.

'Crimson Steps.' He spoke coldly.

His movement speed accelerated all of a sudden while leaving behind sparks in all directions!

Charles arrived in front of the seated black-robed skeleton in a blink and was about to stab at Reid's chest but stopped.

At that moment, Reid stood up from the throne at a fast speed, clenched his bony hand, and punched towards his chest.

Each of his movements appeared blurry!

Charles only saw afterimages before he felt a dangerous premonition from his head.

'His body also entered the Realm of Pseudo-Legendary!' The Holem's Crown's voice also echoed in his head.

Charles calmly watched the upcoming bone hand and cast [Fire Born] spell on himself.

As the bony hand reached his frock coat, his whole body suddenly turned into a pure humanoid fire!

At that point, Reid's bony hand tore through the reddish fire body and appeared on the other side.

Meanwhile, Charles continued to move his hand, stabbed deep into the chest area while slicing the sternum, and pushed it upward.

Simultaneously, the Holem's Crown used the body freezing spell and stopped the skeleton's movement!

Like slicing the butter, Charles's sharp dagger cut the sternum, appeared near the mandible.

Charles didn't stop his hand movement as he continued to move the dagger upward and cleaved the skull into two!

But his expression turned grim as he saw that cleaved bones had already begun to attach on their own.

Although the process appeared slower, Charles could tell that this skeleton would return to his former self in a day or two!

"I'm Undead for a reason, mortal." A sinister voice echoed in the hall as Reid retracted his bony hand from the flame body.

Simultaneously, a total of five ghostly figures appeared behind Charles!

They all moved their foggy hands and tried to grab his flame body.

'I lost in terms of physical strength.'

Letting out a deep sigh, Charles returned to his human self and was about to cast [Flame Teleportation] spell but frowned.

The next instant, He felt a tearing sensation from his soul and got startled!

'A soul attack?' His heart sank.

Thankfully, the Holem's Crown used his wisdom power and covered his body and soul, causing the ghosts' foggy hands to stop two inches away from his body.

Not only that, but his wisdom power also nullified the soul attack!

'Thanks, old man.' Charles said in a deep tone and soon shifted his gaze towards the

"You are just hard to kill, skeleton." He said coldly, cast [Flame Teleportation] on himself, enveloped his body a crimson flame, and disappeared from there.

The next second, he appeared 10 meters away from the throne and stared at the skeleton with a deep look on his face.

Meanwhile, Reed's main consciousness also returned from the Dream World and soon got stupefied.

His whole Inner World was burning in the purple flame sea!

Moreover, the upper half of his skeletal body was also completely sliced into two like a cheesecake!

"W-What the hell are you?" Reid stared at the female-looking figure and asked in horror.

Upon hearing his words, Charles suddenly raised his left hand, touched his left cheek, and smiled.

A moment later, a small ball of crimson flame came out from his forehead, spread towards his face, and soon formed into an eerie crimson mask.

"The name is Ghost." He paused for a moment, turned around, and added.

"Good Luck."

Saying so, he tapped the red-gem embedded ring, ordered the Holem's Crown to cast the [Travel Leap] spell, and disappeared.

Upon hearing those words, Reid suddenly felt that something had gone wrong and looked at his right hand.

The next instant, his mind went blank!

"My Phylactery!" He shouted in rage, shock, and disbelief!

Within a second, fear and anxiety gripped his mind.

The main reason for that was the Phylactery was a vessel for his soul!

In a sense, he lost his soul!

'No… As long as I'm connected to my Inner World, I will be able to track down this thief and get it back.' His chaotic soul fire started to flicker madly.
