Chapter 260: Danger

A silence appeared in the sky as Cedric said that word and soon went wide-eyed.

At that moment, he suddenly sensed that there was no amulet appeared in his hand!

Meanwhile, Charles's curled his lips upward, raised his hand, and showed an emerald amulet towards Cedric.

"Are you looking for this?" Vivian's feminine voice came out from his mouth.

Before Cedric could understand the situation, a spatial crack appeared behind him, followed by a monstrous reddish hand.

The hand's movement was so fast that it grabbed Cedric's body in an instant and started pulling into the void.

"ARGHH!" A scream came out of Cedric's mouth as he tried his best to escape from the grasp but couldn't.

The hand's grip was so firm that he couldn't even move a muscle.

"Bat form!" He tried to turn himself into a bat and escape, but nothing worked.

He was horrified!

"Help!" He hurriedly looked at Louise and shouted.

But the next instant, a sharp pain appeared on his nape, followed by a flesh-tearing sound.

A moment later, he noticed that the whole world began to spin.

It was one of Charles's invisible scythes!

His head flew up towards the sky, spraying blood in every direction, and it moved towards Charles quickly.

On the other hand, Charles suddenly pulled his left hand, controlled the other invisible scythe, and slashed it at Cedric's chest area.

It was one of Cedric's main weaknesses!

During the previous battles, Charles analyzed Cedric's movements and learned a few of his weak spots.

Among them, this was the area where Cedric always paid close attention to it!

The next instant, the scythe's toe tore through the flesh, entered deep into the chest, and soon collided with a crystal.

A crystal-breaking sound echoed in the sky!

A moment later, a notification popped up in front of Charles's eyes.

[Target Eliminated! 285,200 Exp points obtained!]

'Success.' The corner of his lips curled upward.

At that moment, the gigantic hand started pulling Cedric's dead body into the spatial crack and soon disappeared from his vision!

Meanwhile, Charles caught Cedric's head and saw a lifeless look on his face.

'If he was a pure-blooded vampire, he would have used the blood form and escaped from the Devil's hand.' The Holem's Crown said regretfully.

'Devil's hand? As I thought, it must be Willy Pickton's doing.'

Charles nodded his head in understanding, stored the head in a separate space ring, and noticed that the forewarning remained in his mind.

Although it was not strong as before, it still caused him a slight headache.

'That guy hasn't given up.' His eyes turned colder.

He then turned his gaze towards his right side, stared at the dumbfounded Louise, and ordered the Holem's Crown to break the past illusion.

At the same time, he shifted his attention towards the emerald amulet, erased Cedric's soul imprint, and replaced it with his own.

Meanwhile, Willy was staring at the sky in confusion and shock.

The strange vertical pupil eye floated to his right side, looked at the sky, and blinked from time to time.

"It's an illusion!" A monotonous voice came out from it.

"The Holem's Crown?" Willy widened his eyes in shock and soon nodded.

"Does that mean Cedric and Louise fail to trap him?" He couldn't help but show an anxious expression.

Before the strange eye could respond, both of them saw a ripple in the dark sky.

The next instant, the past illusion broke like glasses and revealed the truth to them.

Only Charles and Louise remained floating in the air!

"They failed." Willy's heart sank.

Before he could say another word, an eerie monotonous voice came out from the strange eye.

"Eye of Inferno."

The next instant, the eye formed into a streak of black fire and flew towards the sky at a fast speed!

Meanwhile, an invisible force appeared out of nowhere, encircled Charles's body, and gripped him tighter.

At that moment, Charles knew that the enemy was set on killing him and turned dark.

"Shift." He spoke in a quick tone while locking his gaze on Louise.

The next instant, his figure turned blurry suddenly and was replaced with Louise's figure!

Then, the streak of black flame entered Louise's chest.

In a blink, her whole body turned eerie black and exploded with a bang.

At the same time, the black streak began to expand and soon formed into a fireball of a 5-meter radius.

But what horrified Charles was that the flame appeared more like an eyeball!

It had a vertical pupil, a blackish iris, and appeared to be made of pure black flame!

It floated in the sky and appeared terrifying and eerie.

It was an eyeball filled with pure wickedness!

'I need to escape!' Such thought crossed Charles's mind.

But he knew that the whole space was locked by a strange spatial lock spell and got worried.

'Old man, do you know what this thing is?' He asked.

'It looks like an incarnation of an Eye Devil… No, I think it's an attack spell. A Rank-5 Spell! Teleport to the Underground Hall! Hurry up!' The Holem's Crown's turned severe.

Charles didn't dare to delay any longer, cast [Flame Teleportation] spell, enveloped his body in a crimson flame, and disappeared from there!

A moment later, he reappeared in the underground throne hall, stepped on the dais, and hurriedly sat on the Bone Throne.

Then, he placed his hand on the bone arm, muttered a word in nether tongue, and disappeared from there.

A second later, he found himself standing in a dark metal room!

It was Reid's secret hideout!

He built this house 200 meters under the throne hall in fear of invasion.

No one, not even his disciples, knew about this!

'But I'm still not feeling safer.' Charles wore a grim look and cast [Sun's Guard] spell on himself.

BANG!

Simultaneously, a loud explosion came from above, causing him to fell on his knees in an instant.

At that moment, an indestructible shockwave came from above, broke the metallic wall, even broke his [Sun's Guard] spell, and landed on his body.

The next instant, minute cuts started to appear all over his body, causing blood to appear everywhere!

'F*CK!' A severe pain assaulted his mind!

He tried to shout but soon noticed that he couldn't even open his mouth!

Not only his body flesh, but even organs started to rip.

'Soul Heal!' Charles said in his mind and completely enveloped his body in a greenish-blue flame.

But even his [Soul Heal] spell wasn't powerful enough to heal all those wounds.

'No, this Rank-3 flame won't be enough. I need a Rank-4 healing spell to heal this body at a fast speed. Otherwise, I might really die!'

His heart sank.

He then linked his mind with his Inner World and asked his clone to control the body.

After that, he reappeared in front of the System Cube, used his full wisdom power to create a large fire net, and started pulling it towards the [Soul Heal] spell model.
