Chapter 221: Sinful Demon
Charles felt a terrifying power from the black-haired man called 'Elder' and got startled inside.
'His wisdom power has already reached an abnormal level.' He also saw multiple black clouds, illusionary distorted faces, and even some chains appeared near him and furrowed his brows.
'What are these?'
"T-This is the manifestation of one's Domain. He is a peak level Rank-4 Mystic." Natalia made a swift decision as she spoke and took a step forward.
Meanwhile, Elder suddenly let out a creaky laugh and spoke a few words in weird language.
But Charles felt something familiar about the language and soon widened his deep-blue eyes.
"Abyssal Tongue-?"
Before he could finish his words, Elder's body began to enlarge while tearing his dresses. His skin also turned darker and rougher, and two reddish horns appeared on his forehead.
Within a second, he turned into a 3-meter tall, monstrous humanoid creature!
His face appeared more like a wicked being's one.
His nose, ears, and jaw areas turned sharper, and his face itself turned into a square shape.
Even two eerie reddish scythes appeared in his muscular hands, and he looked more like an actual demon from books!
"He is a Rank-4 [Sinful Demon] Class Mystic. Be careful of his curse attack." A cold voice came out of Natalia's mouth.
The next instant, she disappeared from there and reappeared behind the Elder.
Simultaneously, she raised her hand, touched his back, and whispered.
"Fate Change."
"Sneaky rat-"
Before Elder could move his reddish scythe, she silently tapped her foot and disappeared from there once again.
A moment later, she reappeared beside Charles and stared at the monstrous Elder with wide eyes.
"My fate skill isn't working on him." Her voice contains a trace of anxiousness.
Just when Charles was about to reply, a fierce ripple appeared in the surroundings.
The next moment, a terrifying pressure descended on the battlefield and pushed Natalia's and Charles's body towards backward!
The distorted creepy creatures' faces and black smoke began to appear all over the surroundings and started corrupting the maize farm, the land, and the house.
"You think you two will stand a chance against me?" A bone-chilling voice came out from Elder's mouth as he revealed his black lips and walked towards their direction.
"Let's see about that."
Saying so, Natalia gritted her teeth and waved her hand.
In a blink, the whole surroundings air began to turn colder, and soon ice layers began to form everywhere.
The corrupting grasses, maize plants, yard wines, and even the house got covered in a thin ice layer.
At the same time, hundreds of ice spears suddenly popped out from the grounds and moved towards Elder at a fast speed.
Each spear had the power of 'Law' infused in them and was equal to Rank-4 spells!
But before they could reach his monstrous body, an eerie black smoke came out from the surroundings and enveloped Elder's body.
The next instant, the hundreds of spears pass through his body as if the whole body was made of gases!
The ice spears didn't give him any wound at all!
"Petty tricks."
Natalia didn't back down as she snorted coldly and then cast [Ice Cube] spell.
But even the powerful Cube couldn't stop the demonized Elder.
He broke her spell using his scythes before it could completely seal his body!
While Natalia was battling, Charles used his [Wisdom Sight] skill on the enemy and searched for his weakness.
A few seconds later, his eyes flickered all of a sudden.
"Attack him with a powerful spell when I give you the signal." Saying so, he cast [Fire Seed] spell on the enemy and began to interrupt by erasing his memory.
But before the spell could even disrupt his thought, some chaotic power came from Elder's Inner World and silently erased his [Fire Seed] spell!
'Sh*t! It must be his second consciousness. I can only halt his movement for 0.5 seconds.' A grim look appeared on Charles's face.
Just when he was about to tell Natalia to begin her attack, Elder opened his mouth and let out a screeching noise all of a sudden.
The next instant, Charles's mind went chaos for a moment!
His thinking ability went into disarray.
He tried his best to think of his following action but he couldn't!
It was as if something invisible suddenly blocked him from thinking!
At that moment, Natalia also stopped sending Ice blades at the enemy and wore a confused look.
She, too, got affected by a strange skill!
It was a [Sinful Demon] Class skill, Chaotic Screech!
It was a skill that could disrupt one's thinking for a certain amount of time and led their mind to a state of chaos.
'Is it affecting my second consciousness?' The real Charles frowned for a moment, linked himself with the dark space, and cast [Soul Heal] spell on Natalia.
Simultaneously, he cast the same spell on his second consciousness and soon returned to the Inner World!
The clone Charles and Natalia woke up from the strange state the next second and got startled.
Although Natalia had similar second consciousness inside her Inner World, it was not good as Charles's clone.
No, it could only do some minor works and was still in imperfect condition!
Both felt chill in their hearts!
But before they could even take a breath, Elder suddenly appeared in front of them and slashed his scythes at them with both hands!
Upon noticing the terrifying scythe, Charles's expression went stiff.
'F*ck!' He cursed in his mind, and cast Rank-3 [Fire Born] spell.
A moment later, his body enveloped in a crimson flame and soon transformed into a pure humanoid flame!
On the other hand, Natalia tapped her foot in a hurry and disappeared from there.
Still, the scythe's tip appeared next to her right arm and gave a sharp cut on her smooth skin!
Meanwhile, the other reddish scythe tore through the air, directly entered Charles's right chest area, and soon appeared on the other side.
But to Elder's astonishment, not a single change appeared on Charles's flame body at all!
Even Charles became stunned for a moment before he took a step back and disappeared.
A moment later, he reappeared twenty meters away from the monstrous figure, stood beside Natalia, and stared at Elder warily.
The flames on his body also began to diminish and soon disappeared from there, leaving a human body behind.
Cold sweats dripped down on his forehead as he recalled the last moments and got frightened a little.
Meanwhile, Natalia placed her other hand on the wounded area, stared at Elder, and asked in a gloomy voice.
"Charles, can you able to stop his thinking ability for two seconds?"
Hearing her words, Charles glanced at Natalia and soon froze as he saw a large cut on her right arm!
Blood droplets drenched her arm, moved towards her forearm, and were constantly dripping down from her hand!
But she remained motionless like an ice queen and didn't even take her eye off from Elder.
Upon seeing her wounded condition, an unknown aching feeling appeared in Charles's heart.
"You should never let your guard down during the battle." Noticing his gaze, Natalia couldn't help but scold him a little.
But she soon realized that this kid was just a 20 years old boy and sighed helplessly.
Charles instantly woke up from the shock as he heard her words, placed his hand on the wounded area, and cast [Soul Heal] spell.
"It won't work. His red scythe is infused with thick 'Chaos' power. Your healing spell isn't strong enough to purify the chaos essences."
Saying so, Natalia raised her other hand and pointed it at her wounded area.
Only then did Charles notice that strange energy remains on the sliced flesh area.
A concerned expression appeared on his face as he stared at her cold face for a moment and soon turned his attention towards Elder.
Anger, pain, and helplessness appeared in his heart.
Those weird emotions caused his heart to palpitate faster!
"Don't worry about it. We should focus on killing him." Unaware of the changes in Charles's heart, Natalia raised her hand, placed it on the wounded area, and froze that part with an ice layer.
