Chapter 118: Escape



Chapter 118: Escape

'My Ember Pistol is insufficient to give a heavy wound to a Rank-4 Existence.' Charles shook his head and concentrated his attention on the enemy.

A while ago, he aimed at Garath's eye to give him some fatal injury, but the red-human girl foiled his plan.

'Still, it is quite effective.' Charles curled his lips upward and once again aimed his hand towards the opposite side. Nobody moved a muscle for a whole three seconds. Even Garath wore a cautious look on his face and made a swift decision.

Garath raised the War Scythe, aimed it at Charles, and threw it at all full force.

Meanwhile, Charles's [Prevision] skill triggered on its own and showed Garath's next move.

With a terrifying speed, the War Scythe tore through the air and moved towards Charles.

But to others' astonishment, Charles casually took a step towards the right side and evaded the War Scythe.

The War Scythe swept past his shoulder and collided against the invisible space lock spell!

Even Charles stumbled due to the shockwave and stood unsteadily.

Although he looked calm on the outside, he started to get anxious.

As he was about to urge the Holem's Crown, he heard an old man's voice in his head.

"Spatial cut."

It was a Rank-3 spatial elemental spell!

In a moment, the invisible lock suddenly started to break, causing the War Scythe to land on the metal door.

"Success." He shouted in joy as he moved his hand and instantly took the other Twin Leaf from the metal gate.

Then, Charles glanced at the red-gem embedded bracelet and soon focused his gaze in a particular direction.

From the scout goblin's memories, he learned that it was the safest direction and instantly ordered in his mind!

'Go in that direction.'

In the meantime, the Holem's Crown instantly obeyed his words and spoke.

"Travel Leap!"

In a second, his figure turned blurry and soon disappeared from the garden!

Savage Forest, Twilight land.

In the dense forest, filled with unique red-leaf trees and shrubs, Charles suddenly teleported in front of a tall tree and looked around the surrounding tree in cautiousness. Unlike Edhen, the ground appeared hard and rocky.

Once Charles noticed that he was in a safer place, he instantly looked up at the sky and soon widened his eyes in astonishment.

'There really are two suns.' Although he learned basic information about this Moris Fire Elemental plane from the goblin scout's memories, still he got baffled upon seeing two suns in the red sky.

'Which way is safer?' He furrowed his brows and soon chose to walk in a random direction.

But as he took the fifth step, he felt an invisible pressure appeared all over his body!

'It's the Planar Restriction.' He instantly realized the situation and checked his body and mind.

'Hmm, my spell models are acting very abnormally.' A frown appeared on his oval face.

'It would take at least a day for the spell models to stabilize, lad. After that, you will be able to cast Rank-1 spells.' The Holem's Crown responded in his mind.

'What about the Rank-2 spells? Can I able to use them too?' He asked in eagerness.

'Unfortunately, you won't be able to cast Rank-2 spells for more than a month. If you want the break these shackles sooner, there are two ways. The first one is to create an elemental heart. But in this current situation, it is almost an impossible task for you. The second one is familiarizing your body and soul with the current atmosphere and breaks the restriction sooner. It is the most effective method.'

Upon hearing those words, Charles's expression turned solemn.

'What I lack now is time.' He shook his head and continued to walk deep into the forest. He saw many rocky plains, lava pools, and even large volcanic mountain range from the left side and got overwhelmed.

'This land is completely bathed in fire and lavas.' He muttered inwardly and soon felt a dangerous premonition from the depths of his heart!

He didn't hesitate for a moment before he ran towards the right side and hid under a large broken tree trunk.

At that moment, his body shuddered all of a sudden.

No, he felt a completely different invisible pressure assaulted from above!

Then, he felt that the hot wind began to assault from above and even broke some trees!

With an alarmed look on his face, Charles looked above and soon widened his eyes in horror.

'Dragon! It's a freaking Red Dragon!' His body trembled as he fixed his gaze on the monstrous lizard-like bird that was flying up in the sky. It flew in circles while blocking the two suns and soon caused the whole surroundings to shroud in darkness and shadow.

In that second, Charles felt another kind of power affecting his body.

This power not only made his heart beat faster, but it also subconsciously influenced his mind to lower his head!

'That's the power of the Domination, lad. Only 'Rulers' can get this mystic power.' The Holem's Crown said in his mind.

Nodding his head, Charles lowered his head and waited for the monstrous Red Dragon to go away.

Thankfully, the Red Dragon only circled in the sky two more times and soon flew in a different direction.

Meanwhile, Charles was completely soaked in sweats.

He silently stayed in the area for a few more minutes and soon started to search for a suitable place to place the Twin Leaf.

After a few moments of roaming, Charles finally found a small cave near a lava lake and walked in.

'Although I managed to snatch this Twin Leaf from the enemies, this place is still not safer. Dangers are lurking everywhere in this land.' He subconsciously thought of the Red Dragon and got chills all over his body.

'I need to grow stronger.' He muttered to himself and started walking deep into the cave.

In a few seconds, he arrived at the cavern's edge and placed the gem-like leaf on the cave wall.

Then, he sat on the ground in a cross-legged position and started to take a deep breath.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a warm feeling appeared in the depth of his soul.

'These fire elemental energies are entering my inner-world.' Charles nodded his head in understanding and then continued to familiarize himself with the surrounding elements.

Hours passed by as the brightness started to fade a little and soon turned to dim darkness.

On the other hand, Charles completely immersed himself with the surroundings and soon started to perceive the fire-elemental energies!

'I successfully broke through the first restriction!' A look of astonishment appeared on his face as he conjured a small ball of fire and soon smiled.

'I can cast my Rank-1 spells now. Moreover, I don't need to take some time to refill the spell models in this fire-elemental plane.'

As he was about to continue his words, he felt a sudden tremor from below.

'Earthquake?' His expression changed in a serious one.

In a moment, he heard a water splashing noise, followed by a deep roar!

'Something is coming towards the cave entrance!'

Charles instantly stood up from the ground and moved towards the entrance cautiously.
