Fire Mage

Chapter 452: Observing the Sky

Charles soon turned his face solemn and spoke.

"Well, I only heard it from one of my scout knights. Anyway, this is just one of the examples. So, what we need to do now is not to solve these problems one by one, but to put an end to this civil war."

"I don't understand, Your Highness. What do you mean by putting an end to the civil war? Are you planning to give up the throne?" Melody interjected their conversation.

"It means we are not going to negotiate with the royal family and the Awaken but oppose everyone," Irzoch responded.

Charles nodded his head and spoke in a solemn tone.

"First, I want to meet all our faction nobles and ask them to lend me a hand. It's time to create an army under my name."

"Wouldn't that anger your mother, My Lord?" This time, it was Melody who asked the question.

"I don't think she will get angry. As long as I get enough support from the nobles, the whole royal Knight Squad and the army would open the palace gate for me. My only problem is guardian knight. Well, we should lay low for a few months and gather our strength slowly. When the time comes, we will invade the royal capital and gain complete control over it."

He also discussed his plan with everyone and even told Melody to invite the nobles for a secret gathering.

On the other hand, the Light Church members listened to their conversation quietly and decided to inform the whole plan to the church. Alas, none of them felt the strangeness about Charles's or others' behavior.

Charles continued to converse with the knight captains and also secretly cast the curse spell on them. After some time, all of them finished their dinner and bid farewell to each other. The knight captains and the church members moved out of the castle's keep while others returned to their rooms.

Once Charles entered his room, he closed the double door and cast [Flame Teleportation] spell on himself.

A second later, he disappeared from the room and reappeared at the summit of a lone mountain. Then, he glanced around and noticed that the rocks and cactus were the only things that appeared before his eyes.

After looking around for a while, he found a plain area to settle down and took out the wooden quills, ink bottle, candles, empty notebook, wooden chairs, and finally a table from his space ring.

Then, he arranged everything on the table, lit the candle with his flame magic, and opened the notebook.

Then, he sat on a chair, looked up at the sky, and entered his Inner World.

A second later, he reappeared at the newly built palace's entrance and waved his hand.

The next instant, his memories came from all directions and appeared above his head in the form of tiny lava droplets.

Without wasting a second, he observed the memories, gathered the fire-elemental energy, and created a perfect consciousness in mere seconds!

After that, he also added all of Julius's memories into this consciousness and gave exact characteristics.

But he didn't stop there, though. Instead, he shifted his attention towards the hovering memories, replicated them again, and created two more consciousnesses!

Then, he infused those consciousnesses with a large amount of fire-elemental energy and even added rebirth flame essences into them!

Unlike the previous one, these two perfect consciousnesses were made of pure fire and looked natural.

They were his new incarnations!

Before long, a total of three familiar figures appeared in front of his eyes.

The first perfect consciousness looked more like Julius, while the other two incarnations took the appearance of Daniel and his original self.

'Oh? The other two already chose their identities, huh?' A surprise flashed on his face.

He then looked at Julius and ordered.

"Go and take control over my body and write the Star formula." He paused for a moment, shifted his gaze towards the other two consciousnesses, and added.

"You two should also go out of the Inner World and help him create the Star Constellation Book. I want to create this book within six months. From now on, you guys should come here during nighttime and create the Star Constellation book. During the daytime, concentrate your attention on physical training using the knight manual and improve the body physique."

"Got it!" All three of them responded in unison.

A second later, they turned illusionary and disappeared from his eyes.

The perfect consciousness moved to take over his body while the other two appeared behind him in the form of incarnations.

First, Julius opened his eyes, touched his face, and smiled.

Then, he took out the wooden quill, dipped the brush into the ink bottle, and started writing a complicated formula.

Meanwhile, the illusionary incarnations moved towards the nearby chairs and took their seats. Then, they also shifted their attention towards the notebook and waited for Julius to finish it.

...

In the meantime, Charles turned his attention towards the nearby 3-meter tall pillar and used his wisdom power to take the sealed chaos fire from the top.

The chaos fireball sealed in the rebirth fire moved from the top the next second and soon appeared in front of his eyes.

Charles carefully covered it with his wisdom power, controlled the sealed chaos fire, and flew towards the dark sky.

Within a minute, he reached the sky and soon arrived in front of the chaos spell model. Then, he turned his gaze towards the sealed chaos fire, broke the rebirth flame seal, and let the chaos fireball hover in front of him.

Then, he zeroed his attention on the fireball and soon noticed that there were only 50 to 60 chaos fire essences hidden in there.

Although he was disappointed a little, Charles knew that these were more than enough for him to construct a Rank-5 spell model!

'No, the [Curse of the Overlord] spell only had 3000 flame streaks... If I'm not wrong, those streaks are nothing but essence rules. So, the [Curse of the Overlord] spell only has two Wicked Flame essences. But even that spell had the power to control Rank-5 Existences!' His eyes squinted all of a sudden.

'Does that mean this chaos fire will become a pseudo-Rank-6 Spell?' He thought for a moment and soon shook his head.

Then, he activated his [Arcane Eyes] skill, shifted his attention towards a particular chaos fire essence, and started comprehending the essence rules.

...

Meanwhile, Julius also finished writing the star formula and started creating a constellation map.

Unlike when Charles created the Star Constellation Book, there was no constellation book in his hand.

But he decided to create a brand new constellation with the two incarnations' help!

The trio observed the sky all night, marked the exact positions of the brightest stars, and even grouped them to form constellations. They then created a unique map inside his Inner World to make their jobs easier.

During that time, they found 64 constellations in the sky and got ready to search for the 'Time' Stars!
