Fire Mage

Chapter 320: 8 Seconds

But just when the black flame was about to burn him completely, new flesh started to appear out of nowhere and started absorbing those black flames!

Within two seconds, a new Red Prince appeared in front of everyone!

"Is that all?" He looked at Charles and asked with a smile.

But the mere smile gave him a sinister feeling!

Before Charles could respond, an invisible ripple came out of Red Prince's body and spread to the surroundings!

It was so strong that it caused everyone's body to freeze for a second.

'The power of Dominance...' Charles frowned a bit, enveloped his body in a crimson flame, teleported from there, and soon reappeared next to Rachel.

At that moment, Oswald also arrived next to them, touched his golden bracelet, and chanted a unique verse.

Once he ended the short verse, the bracelet shone in golden color light and completely enveloped him.

A moment later, a golden armor appeared over his chest.

Not only that, but two unique golden wings sprouted from his back and started flapping on their own.

Nodding his head, Oswald then took out a long sword from his space ring and unsheathed it.

Simultaneously, a greenish aura came out from the hilt area and started enveloping the sword edges.

'Oh? It's the Master level sword aura. I thought he was bluffing earlier. With this, he can even harm a Pseudo-Legendary Level Mystic. But to do that, he needs to get closer to the enemy, though.' The Holem's Crown spoke in his mind.

"It's time." Rachel said in a cold tone.

The next instant, the whole dark sky started to transform into a cloudier one.

Then, electric sparks appeared in the sky and soon released a flash of blue lightning towards the Red Prince.

Upon seeing this, Red Prince suddenly looked up at the sky and turned solemn.

Then, he suddenly stretched his hand, tore the space, and pulled out a black-covered book from the void.

After that, he casually opened it and muttered.

"Nullify."

At that moment, the blue arc of lightning bolt arrived above his head and was about to land on him.

But, some invisible power came out of the book and completely absorbed the lightning!

Upon seeing this, Rachel frowned a bit and spoke.

"I'm going all out. 8 seconds."

An instant later, her silvery eyes glowed.

At the same time, her whole body started to envelop in a bluish arc of lightning, and she appeared more like a Goddess of Lightning!

What's more shocking was that her mind worked twenty times faster than before!

The next instant, she turned into a streak of lightning and arrived in front of the Red Prince.

"1"

Saying so, she extended her right hand, created a sword made of pure lightning arc, and slashed at his head.

Meanwhile, Red Prince squinted his eyes suddenly and saw her every action in slow motion.

No!

Even though he managed to accelerate his thoughts to multiple folds, all he could see was just her blurry movements!

Before he could even cast his defensive spell, Rachel used the lightning sword to directly slashed at his neck and decapitated him.

But she didn't end it there, though.

"2"

She aimed her lightning sword at his right hand and directly cut it.

Then, she extended her hand, grabbed the severed hand along with the black book, and tossed it towards Charles!

"3. Seal it, Chares." Her voice traveled through the space at high frequency and echoed in his head.

On the other hand, Charles's eyes widened.

In truth, he used the [Accelerate Thoughts] skill and was barely following her movements like the Red Prince!

'She even noticed this?' He was shocked inside.

Then, he opened his palm, cast [Hands of Wonders] skill, and released the single invisible string at a fast speed.

In truth, this was the only skill that could move according to his thinking speed.

Even if he enters the 'Time-Stop' domain, he could use this skill and do some tricks!

An invisible string came out of his palm like a bolt, moved towards the severed hand, and soon touched the black book.

Then, the string coiled around the book and pulled backward.

The next instant, the black book disappeared from there and reappeared in Charles's hand.

At that moment, Rachel opened her mouth and added.

"4"

Without any hesitation, Charles made a swift decision and tossed it towards his left side.

Once again, the black book disappeared from his right hand, started bending the space, traveled through it, and soon appeared in front of Edith, who was currently doing divination in the old mansion!

His action surprised the Red Prince.

Even though his head was decapitated, he still saw everything and got shocked.

But he didn't have enough time to mourn over his loss, though.

At that moment, Rachel had long created a golden streak of lightning and released it towards his chest.

But what made him startled was not the strange color of the lightning but its movement speed.

Unlike other lightning streaks, this one moved very slowly.

It moved more like a speed of a fireball!

'I can still control my body and dodge this lightning.' Such thought appeared in Red Prince's mind.

But before he could think further, Rachel once again opened her mouth.

"5"

The next second, multiple blue lightning arcs came out of Rachel's hand and moved towards his body quickly.

In a blink, they attacked his body from different directions and paralyzed him on the spot!

'No good!' Red Prince's face hardened.

Meanwhile, the golden streak moved slowly and soon landed on his chest.

"6," Rachel said.

Then, the lightning arc directly tore through Red Prince's chest, entered deep into his body, and exploded.

The next second, a fist-sized hole appeared around his heart area!

Upon seeing this, Red Prince hurriedly used his [Instant Regeneration] skill and tried to heal it.

But to his shock, nothing happened!

No!

At that moment, he sensed a strange crack in his Dark Space that connected to his main body's Inner World!

"7"

Rachel's voice echoed in the sky again.

No, it appeared more like a demon's whisper!

The next instant, she raised her hand, pointed her finger at Red Prince's forehead, and conjured another golden streak of lightning.

Upon seeing her action, Red Prince's mind went chaos.

He knew what her following action would be.

Just as he predicted, Rachel moved her other hand, released tens of blue lightning arcs, and attacked his head before paralyzing it!

Then, the golden arc of lightning bolt moved slowly like a divine bolt and arrived in front of his forehead.

"8. Do you think I hold this 'Dragon Slayer' title just to show off?" A mocking voice echoed in his ears.

The next instant, the golden lightning directly entered his forehead, created a small explosion, and made a finger-sized hole!

Shock and alarm appeared on Red Prince's face.

Reddish blood started to drip down from his forehead and painted his face.

Meanwhile, Rachel disappeared from where she stood before and reappeared next to Charles.

"I've done my best, lad. I'll be leaving now."

Saying so, she turned into a streak of lightning and disappeared into the cloudy sky.

On the other hand, Charles dismissed his [Accelerate Thoughts] skill and turned his gaze towards the Red Prince.

In the meantime, Oswald glanced around and soon widened his eyes in surprise.

"She is terrifying." He couldn't help but mutter in a loud tone.

Charles also nodded his head in approval and asked.

"Do you have anything up in your sleeves?"

Upon hearing his grandson's words, he subconsciously turned his gaze towards his sword and nodded.

"If you hold him for two seconds, I can indeed give him a surprise." His voice contained a trace of pride.

Although Charles wasn't sure of Oswald's ability, he vaguely felt that this old man wasn't an ordinary person.

Meanwhile, Red Prince used his last bit of energy and spoke.

"Destiny Life- All Heal."

The next second, his head moved on its own, appeared above his body's neck area, and attached to his body.

Then, the cleaved wound on his neck also started to heal at a fast speed.

But not even a hint of happiness appeared on Red Prince's face.

Instead, his face was filled with full of confusion and anxiety.

At that moment, he noticed that the bloody hole on his forehead remained unhealed!

Not only that, but his heart area also appeared empty!

At that moment, he was sure of one thing.

'I only have 10 minutes to live!' Although he could indeed save himself from the upcoming death, he needed to escape from these two.

Unfortunately, neither Charles nor Oswald would allow him to escape.

Just as he was contemplating about his following action, Charles suddenly took out an eerie black metal disc from his space ring, locked his gaze on the Red Prince, and smiled.

The next instant, Red Prince felt that his whole surroundings started to distort and soon found himself standing in the middle of an empty sky!

Neither Charles nor Oswald appeared in his vision!

'Where are they?' He looked around in confusion and soon noticed the strangeness in the surroundings.

Instead of a colorful atmosphere, the whole surroundings appeared more like a shade.

Upon seeing this, a single thought appeared in his mind.

'He pulled my consciousness into the Dream World!' His eyes widened.
