Fire Mage (Web Novel)
chapter-402

'I wonder why those three moons appear red instead of white. Is that due to the three moons always staying in the shadow of Edhen? Or, there are other reasons?' Questions whirled in his foggy mind.

As he turned to look at the Red Moons, he suddenly noticed that his vision started to blur.

No, he noticed that his movement speed once again accelerated.

At that moment, Charles also sensed an invisible ripple came out of the crimson flame and bent the surrounding space. The invisible wave compressed the space in front and expanded it behind!

'It acts more like a warp device!' Charles wasn't ignorant about the sci-fi movies and instantly linked the similarities.

'Wait... Why do I feel like this crimson flame has its own Will? Maybe the Fire Bird's remnant will?' A strange thought appeared in his mind.

Instantly, he tried to enter his Inner World but failed for some unknown reason.

'Is it due to me staying in Astral Plane? Or, due to space travel?' He got confused.

Before Charles could think further, the crimson flame once again sent another ripple towards the surroundings.

No, more invisible ripples followed and continuously compressed the space in front and expanded it behind!

Meanwhile, he noticed that the surroundings turned into pure white light rays and soon formed into a tunnel-like void.

It appeared more like a wormhole!

The continuous warping of the spatial elements somehow created a wormhole!

'This flame is taking me somewhere faraway!' He muttered inwardly. Like the last time, he saw myriads of stars, galaxies, nebulas, and star clusters as he traveled through the tunnel for three continuous hours and finally exited through another portal-like wormhole.

During this travel, he didn't encounter any strange creature like the last time at all.

As he moved out of the wormhole, he rolled more than twice in the space and finally managed to return to a fixed position.

But what greeted him was not a space but a bright reddish star!

Even though he was far away from the bright star, he still felt a strange warmth feeling.

At that moment, he suddenly recalled the information about Rebirth Temple and soon widened his foggy eyes.

'The believers of Rebirth Temple mentioned in the inscriptions that a Red Sun descended from the sky and saved them during the battle against demons... Red Sun... Rebirth Star!'

As that thought crossed his mind, the crimson flame glowed in red color and moved faster towards the Red Sun!

It was as if this crimson flame had finally found its home!

Before Charles could even utter a word, the crimson flame once again released a strange invisible ripple, bent the space, and moved forward.

In truth, this Rebirth Star was 2200 times larger than the Sun and considered one of the seven mysterious stars in the universe!

But, it still wasn't the largest star in the universe. As for why these seven stars were called mysterious stars? These stars appeared out of nowhere around 1 million years ago and disrupted the balance of seven galaxies.

Dixon Galaxy was one of them.

The sudden appearance of seven stars disrupted the balance of the largest galaxies!

From then onwards, these seven stars were considered taboo stars! They pose an equal danger to the universe as the Taboo Existences.

Unfortunately, Charles wasn't aware of this and still thinking of it as a normal Sun!

After traveling for more than 10 hours at a speed of 27 times faster than the speed of light, he finally got closer towards the Red Sun.

Rebirth Star was a red supergiant located in the constellation Blue Bison. It was also cataloged as Red Sun 2-MST and Blood Globe in Universal Map. It was the current record holder for the brightest star known. The star was located at 25,900 light-years from Edhen and was a member of the open cluster Rebirth Cloud.

Rebirth Star had an estimated radius of 2,150 solar radii. If Rebirth Star replaced the Sun in Myxend solar system (Edhen's solar system), it might even extend past the orbit of Rezore planet!

The star's size corresponds to a volume about 11.2 billion times greater than the Sun!

As Charles got closer towards the Red Supergiant, he couldn't help but get shocked inside.

It was too big!

Solar flares constantly flew into space, causing ripples in the space.

'Will I be okay if I get too closer towards the gigantic Sun?' While he was in muse, the crimson flame continued to move closer towards the outer surface of the Rebirth Star and soon released a strange ripple.

But unlike before, this ripple contained streaks of red fire!

The ripple extended towards the supergiant and soon touched its outer surface.

Although the crimson flame only managed to touch a minute part of the Rebirth Star, it managed to cause some reaction to the Rebirth Star!

A moment later, a tear-like drop of red flare came from the outer surface, moved towards Charles's direction, and soon enveloped the crimson flame!

Charles frowned as he saw the red flare tear and tried to back away.

Unfortunately, he couldn't!

On the other hand, the reddish tear drop absorbed the crimson flame, soon enveloped his shattered soul, and finally froze his shattered soul's movement!

'Oh no! It's affecting my thinking!' Charles got startled deeply. He knew that if he didn't find a way stop this mysterious [Present Time] effect, he might be sealed in this tear drop forever!

At that moment, he sensed that he could enter his Inner World and got relieved.

A second later, he entered his Inner World and soon noticed a change in his appearance. Instead of illusionary form, he appeared in his elemental form!

But unlike before, his facial structure seemed to be similar to that of his physical one. The only difference was that instead of human skin, his body was purely made of fire!

'Why? Did my elemental form fuse with the original consciousness?' He wore a surprised look on his face and then looked around.

Although his whole Inner World was filled with cracks and voids, it still didn't break down entirely, and even the sky remained undamaged.

'No... I think my spell models are damaged.' A frown appeared on his face.

Just as he was about to check the spell models, he suddenly perceived a strange warmth from the outside and was startled.

In a second, he closed his eyes, sensed the changes in his shattered soul, and soon opened his eyes wide.

"That red teardrop is trying to reconnecting my shattered soul!?" Charles spoke in a shocked tone and soon noticed that another type of invisible energy was also moving outside from his Inner World!

'Is this the power of luck? The Holem's Crown's large Miracle finally started showing its effects?' A flash of surprise appeared on Charles's face.
