Chapter 216: Law Power
Meanwhile, the clone Charles nodded his head in understanding and started to talk about his plan.
Although he was wary of her at first, he soon lowered his guard as he received the real Charles's approval.
Both discussed the plan for some time and soon decided to check Turtle Slave House.
"This 'Elder' might be a high-rank member of the Divine Order organization," Natalia said as she stood up from her seat and added.
"There is a high possibility that he might be a Rank-4 Mystic."
'Rank-4 Mystic…' Charles's face turned gloomy as he heard those words.
'As long as he isn't a Rank-4 Mage or Dual Class Mystic, I won't have much problem.' He nodded inwardly and stood up from his seat before speaking.
"Let's pay a visit to Turtle Slave House and see if we can get some useful information about this Elder."
Just as he was about to walk towards the door, Natalia suddenly raised her hand and furrowed her brows.
"Something is wrong." She said as she moved towards the wooden door, unlocked it from inside, and walked outside.
On the other hand, Charles also followed after her and soon sensed a strange ripple in the air.
At the same time, an uneasy feeling appeared in his heart.
Before he could understand the situation, a dense fire-elemental fluctuation appeared from the Nobles' District direction, causing him to squint his eyes!
It was so strong that it almost caused the surrounding temperature to rise!
BANG!
The next moment, a terrifying explosive sound resounded from the Nobles' District and caused the nearby houses' glass windows to shatter!
Charles and Natalia also covered their ears in instinct and felt a sharp pain in their heads.
"What the hell was that?" He asked in a startled tone and soon saw a gigantic mushroom-like red cloud appeared in the Nobles' District direction.
At that moment, Natalia released her full wisdom power and soon widened her eyes.
"Baron Spencer's mansion is no more." Her voice turned colder.
Upon hearing her words, Charles was stunned for a moment and soon turned into a serious one.
'If I had killed the Baron earlier, his slaves and the guards might have survived.' A bitter smile appeared on his face.
He now understood why the real Charles told him about not leaving any loopholes behind.
'But do they have to eradicate the whole mansion?' He suddenly recalled those pieces of evidence in secret lockers and sighed.
'They must have used the alchemic bomb. I heard those are very expensive items and rarely sold in the market. But to think the enemy is in the possession of such thing. I need to be extra careful.'
"Should we continue our plan?" He asked with hesitation.
A chuckle escaped from Natalia's delicate mouth as she heard his words.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just an Alchemic Bomb. Although it could do heavy damage to a normal building, it isn't all that powerful. As long as you cast your Rank-3 defensive spell, you can survive without receiving severe damage. Moreover, you can also use the strange fire teleportation method, right?" She asked casually.
Meanwhile, Charles pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Let's go and check the Turtle Slave House then."
Saying so, he took a step forward and started walking towards the nearby dark alley.
Meanwhile, Natalia adjusted her dress and followed after him with light footsteps.
After a few minutes of walking, both entered Louse Street through a shortcut path and soon found the Turtle Slave House in the corner of the street road.
It appeared more like a mansion building than a house, covering almost 1000 sq meters.
Unlike small huts and brick houses, Turtle Slave House was a three-storied building with hundreds of rooms.
It was a prison house for slaves!
Soon, Charles and Natalia arrived in front of the compound gate and attracted all the guards' attention.
"Oh? There are more than 30 guards with Rank-2 strength and 4 guards with Rank-3 strength. This Slave House's real owner is definitely not a normal person." Natalia said while placing her hand on the metal gate and released the ice elemental energy.
The whole metal gate began to freeze the gate while covering it in an ice layer and soon broke them into pieces!
Simultaneously, she waved her hand, conjured tens of icicles, and sends them towards all those guards.
On the other hand, Charles also raised his hand and cast [Needle of Ember] spell four times.
Although he still felt somewhat unwilling to kill the guards, he steeled his heart and sent those needles in the guards' direction.
Like a sharp bullet, each of his Ember needles moved orderly, appeared near the Rank-3 Mystics, and entered their bodies.
Then, all four of the needles cracked on their own and enveloped the guards in reddish flame.
A moment later, screams and shrieks echoed in the yard.
After that, all four Rank-3 Mystics' skin color started to turn grey, and soon their bodies began to bulge.
At that moment, Natalia's icicles also landed on the group and stabbed their bodies.
The next instant, four explosive sounds echoed there as the chaotic reddish flame enveloped the nearby mystics, trees, and ornamental plants and started burning everything!
Even Natalia became stunned by the power hidden in those Ember Needles!
"This spell is very destructive. If not careful enough, it could even kill a Rank-4 Mystic." She said in a surprised tone and then continued with a frown.
"But against a law-infused spell, this will stand no chance."
Saying so, she took a step forward and started walking towards the mansion building.
At that moment, waves of dense ice elemental energies appeared from her foot, crept towards the burning trees and Rank-2 Mystics like a wild storm, and enveloped everything in icy crystalline layers.
Even the Ember Needle's chaos red flames got extinguished in seconds!
'S-She extinguished the chaos flames in mere seconds? Is it the real power of Rank-4 Spell?' Charles was utterly shocked.
"When you become a Rank-4 Mage, you will sense the true essence of 'Law' power. The further you comprehend the meaning behind the 'Law' power, the more powerful your spell model would become." Natalia paused for a moment as she noticed the confusion on his face and added with a chuckle.
"It seems your grandfather didn't give you any explanation about this 'Law' power. Usually, when you construct your first spell model after advancing, you will be able to lay out a foundation spell model. For example, it's like constructing a building. The 'enlightenment' will only help you lay a corresponding foundation spell model. After that, you have to rely on the elemental plane's imprint and began to strengthen it by comprehending the law power…"
"You might have advanced to a Rank-3 Mystic with the help of potions and artifacts in a short amount of time. But once you enter the realm of Rank-4, you will realize how long it will take for a mage to rank up further. For example, a 'Good' level affinity mage will take more than 5 years to completely comprehend a single spell model. Meanwhile, a 'Genius' level affinity mage will take only 2 years to completely comprehend the spell model…"
"That is only if you advanced without facing any bottlenecks. Even though I'm a 'Good' level affinity holder, I've been stuck in this rank for more than 40 years." While talking, Natalia walked past the fountain and soon appeared in front of the entrance gate.
At that moment, more guards came from both sides of the buildings and blocked their paths.
Unfortunately, all of them got frozen before they could even think and turned into ice sculptures!
Meanwhile, Charles was genuinely shaken by the power hidden in those Rank-4 spells and felt truly glad.
If he had encountered a Rank-4 Mage during the last incident, he might have died!
Although Vivian was a Rank-4 Curse Mage, she only cast one spell on him, and that one was just a Rank-3 spell!
During the previous battle, she only tried her best to put the Spirit Hex curse on him; otherwise, they might have succeeded in killing him.
He was indeed 'lucky' back then!
Shaking his head, Charles silently cast crimson ray spells on those frozen guards and followed after her.
