Chapter 456: Paper Butterfly
Irzoch and Melody glanced at each other as they heard Charles's words and followed his order.
On the other hand, Charles released his wisdom power and waited for the Demon Sorcerer to arrive.
Meanwhile, the Demon Sorcerer Nash flew past many farmhouses while warily looking at the surrounding areas and soon shot towards the faraway Castle. Although he left the town after noticing a slight anomaly, his heart started to beat faster for some odd reasons.
'Something bad is going to happen!' He could tell that it was a life-threatening situation for him.
'Who is targeting my life? Baron Daniel? Or the Light Church?' Just as he flew past the dense woods, he suddenly flapped his wings forcefully, suspended in mid-air, and frowned. At that moment, he noticed that his heart started to beat abnormally faster.
It was the same feeling he got when he was almost killed by a Cardinal thirty-two years ago!
'Should I send a warning to Lord Bryson?' He pondered for a second, touched his left-hand space bracelet, and took out a blackish paper from it. After that, he replicated a part of his memories, extracted it from his Inner World, and fused the extracted memories with the black paper.
He then recited a short chant and tossed the black paper away from the sky before flying forward.
Meanwhile, the black paper twisted suddenly, folded on its own, and soon turned into a butterfly-like shape. Then, the paper butterfly flapped its wings, flew up towards the cloudy sky, and disappeared.
On the other hand, Charles stood in the grassland in silence and patiently looked at the dark sky in silence.
At that moment, the eastern sky appeared brighter than the rest and even gave off a feeling of warmth.
Charles also saw foggy clouds enveloping the sky and blocking the stars.
Just as he was about to use his wisdom power to search for Nash, he saw a human flying towards him from the opposite direction.
Upon seeing his figure, the corner of his lips curled upward and formed into a grin.
'Here he comes!'
Muttering inwardly, he raised his hand, pointed his finger at the flying Demon Sorcerer, and cast [Finger of Destruction] spell.
A dense reddish ray of fire came out of his forefinger a second later, flew towards Nash at an unimaginable speed, and appeared before his face in a blink!
Meanwhile, Nash's pupil shrunk as he perceived the danger and shouted in shock.
"Clover!"
A second later, the talisman coin ring in his neck shone in a golden light and released an invisible forcefield around his body!
The next instant, Charles's chaos fire ray collided against the invisible forcefield and caused an explosion in the sky.
It was so strong which covered the whole sky in reddish flame and illuminated the surroundings in bright light. Rains of fireballs fell in seconds and burned all the nearby forests and grasslands.
Meanwhile, the Demon Sorcerer let out a groan and shot in the other direction.
Although the forcefield managed to completely block the upgraded version of the [Finger of Destruction] spell, the mere explosion sent the Demon Sorcerer flying at an unimaginable speed.
Thankfully, he managed to regain his footing in the air after flapping his illusionary wings.
Following that, he once again flapped his wings and soon flew towards the direction where the attack came from.
In a few seconds, he reached the burning grassland, searched for the culprit, and soon froze as his eyes caught a familiar figure in the sea of flames.
'Prince Julius?'
He then hurriedly halted his movement, suspended in the air, and showed a surprised look on his face.
He then sized Charles up and down and asked.
"You are the Flame Demon, right? Heh, no wonder you went hiding during the past few months. So, you've been sneaking around here and searching for an opportunity to kill me, huh. When did you take over Prince Julius's body?" His eyes contained curiousness and amazement.
On the other hand, Charles was surprised by his calm attitude and opened his arms wide.
"I've been monitoring your movement from the very beginning, Mr. Nash," He said with a smile.
"From the very beginning? What do you mean?" For the first time, a look of seriousness appeared on his face.
On the other hand, Charles shook his head and spoke.
"I don't like wasting my time." While speaking, he shifted his attention towards the dark cloudy sky, raised his hand, and pulled something from the faraway space.
A moment later, the space next to his hand split on its own and formed into a small void!
Then, a blackish butterfly made of paper came out of it and soon landed on his palm.
Upon seeing this, the Demon Sorcerer widened his eyes, touched the coin necklace, and asked.
"H-How did you find it?!" Although his tone appeared calm as water, his eyes showed otherwise.
Instead of answering his question, Charles covered the butterfly with his wisdom power and sent it into his Inner World. Then, he shifted his attention towards the Demon Sorcerer Nash and clapped his hand.
A second later, his wisdom power covered the whole surroundings and completely replaced the surrounding grasslands and those faraway trees with embers, Rocky Mountains, and lava pools.
It was his Fire Domain!
The Fire Domain had a sky as the ordinary plane but filled with reddish clouds instead. A sunshine aura filled the domain and increased the temperature to an unimaginable level. Seven different flames like soul flames, purple flames, chaos flames, wicked flames, false flames, rebirth flames, and lawful flames flew around everywhere as if the atmosphere was alive. On the other hand, an enormous black mountain appeared on the other side of the domain, with its peak reaching a height of over a thousand feet and spewing out volcanic lavas into the sky.
As the Demon Sorcerer Nash saw this, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock.
"Domain Creation?"
The next instant, he backed away hurriedly and added.
"Mind Eyes!"
A second later, his unique violet eyes turned into ruby color and gave a mysterious aura.
After that, Nash locked his gaze on Charles and spoke.
"Forget about me."
On the other hand, Charles felt a mysterious power invading his consciousness and erasing a part of his memories!
Although he tried to block the force using rebirth flame, the mysterious power entered his consciousness in a blink and erased a part of his memories.
A second later, a blank look appeared on Charles's face.
At that moment, the surrounding Fire Domain also shook violently and started to break everywhere.
Nash got some courage as he saw this and thought of killing this Flame Demon.
'I have only one chance-'
Unfortunately, Charles instantly regained his erased memories from one of his consciousnesses, raised his head, and stared at him coldly.
"Nice trick, but too many enemies have used this ability on me."
"What?!" Nash hadn't expected such a situation and got perplexed inside.
