Chapter 104: A Blood Droplet
One hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Charles sat in the sa cross-legged position while digesting pieces of information like nobles' treasure locations, knights' secret skills, rchants' weaknesses, churches' secret organizations' locations, and so on. He even received information about the Moon Kingdom Queen's secret love affair and beca stunned!
'This guy sure knows a lot.' He let out a deep sigh and soon frowned as he received another piece of information about a Series artifact hidden in the Tower of Elents. Thankfully, he wasn't interested in that artifact, so he directly skimd through it.
'As long as I didn't put my eyes on stealing that artifact, it won't cause any variation in the 'Fate.' Still, I need to ask my incarnation to guard these types of mories.' Charles nodded his head in understanding and soon received another piece of information.
But unlike the previous ones, this information was a dangerous one!
Charles didn't dare to think for a second before closing his eyes and entering the Inner World.
On the edge of a volcanic mountain, his figure suddenly appeared beside the clone 'Him.'
Soon, Charles opened his illusionary jade eyes and focused his attention on the new information.
'Blood of a Divine… It's about the blood of a Divine! F*ck, this guy is crazy!' Charles wore an alard look on his face and soon cald his mind. After that, he focused his attention on the new information and started to read.
'There is a droplet of Ancient Light God's blood hidden museum of the Seventh Layer. During the last planar war, the first King of Moon Kingdom found his way into a fallen divine kingdom and got his hand on this 'drop' of Divine's blood.'
'In the old tales, these types of divine blood droplets were used to enchant one's strength at a large margin by consuming it directly. But the person will receive side effects like abnormal mutations in their bodies and souls. There is also a possibility that the person's body might get destroyed by the divine power.'
'But if sohow the person succeeded in digesting the blood droplet, he might enter a deep state of enlightennt and comprehend the power hidden in the droplet. There is a possibility that his body might enchant to a large margin and would reach the level of Legendaries!'
'When the first king of the Moon Kingdom got his hand on the blood droplet, he didn't consu it directly in fear of consequences and started to study it in secret.'
'But Amber Church and Moon Church sohow grasped this secret and asked him to hand over the droplet of blood. Due to the pressure from both sides, the first king made a secret deal with the two churches and then placed it at the museum center in the Tower of Elents. No one knew what they discussed in secret, but those two churches didn't force the first king to hand over the droplet after that. To this day, except for so high-class nobles, Tower Masters, and the Royal Family mbers, none knew about this secret.'
'Leo learned this information when working as a servant in Duke Arina's household around 20 years ago. This information is one of his deepest secrets… Wow, this guy sure has the full qualification to beco an information broker.' Charles raised his eyebrows and soon fell into deep thoughts.
'Does that an the 'Destiny Lady' is already aware of Leo's knowledge about the blood droplet? No, it shouldn't be possible. The 'Fate' power works solely based on one's strength, thinking, and information. If a guy knew certain information about a material, he even had enough strength to obtain it, but he didn't think it is worthy enough to steal the material, then there won't be any variation in the 'Fate.' So, to make a variation in the 'Fate,' these three requirents are needed. What I'm doing now is just hiding the information and bypassing the power of 'Fate.' But I need to be extra careful, though. Even the slightest anomaly might attract the Destiny Lady.'
Charles nodded his head, turned this mory into a pebble-like stone, and gave it to the clone 'Him,' who was still standing next to him.
Then, he rubbed his chin and started to ponder deeply.
'This information is a priceless treasure. But this is also a ticking ti bomb. Should I try to steal this blood droplet? Even if I did steal it, how can I use this? Wait… Maybe I can strengthen my fire affinity! Yes, if I sacrifice this treasure to the 'Will' of the Fire Elental Plane, I might be able to strengthen my affinity to the 'Genius' level!'
'In the past month, I t many obstacles when comprehending the [Incinerate] spell model and still haven't fully comprehended it yet. If this continues, it might take more than a year for to beco an Ember Wizard.'
'Although Ga-System is helping by creating spell models for , it still has its own limitations. Moreover, there is already a powerful enemy is after my head. If I didn't find a way to enchant my affinity, I might get stuck in Rank-3 for years to comprehend the spell models. There is also a promise I made with Bishop Reynolds to return the Holem's Crown to Life Church…'
'Nah, even if I didn't rank up in due ti, I'm not planning on handing it over to them at all. To get complete ownership of the Holem's Crown, I lost many things, so there is no way in hell that I would hand over this artifact to them. They might send multiple legendary powerhouses after . But so what? Humph, in the worst-case scenario, I will just destroy it with a thought. Yes, this Holem's Crown knew too many secrets about …'
'Haa, now I have to steal two treasures from the Tower of Elents instead of one. Stealing the 'Fire Fiend's Heart' is also not a simple matter. I need to make a perfect plan and steal them in one go.'
Nodding his head, Charles directly collected all the secret information about the Tower of Elents, turned them into pebble-like stones, and gave it to the Clone 'Him.'
After that, Charles stared at the [Fla Body] spell model and left the Inner World.
A mont later, Charles opened his eyes in the reception hall and soon heard a muffling noise.
At that mont, he also heard shouts and banging sounds from the outside and sighed.
'Looks like I need to end this now.' He knew when to stop, so he instantly stood up, took out the [Ghost Dagger] from his space ring, and soon arrived beside the glaring Leo.
After that, Charles gripped the hilt tighter and slashed it towards his neck at full force. Due to his extraordinary strength, the dagger cleaved the smooth skin and instantly separated the head from the body!
[Target Eliminated! 1,707 Exp points Obtained!]
Curling his lips upward, he went near the head, grabbed Leo's hair using his left hand, and picked up the wide-eyed Leo's head.
At that mont, the headless body started to twitch uncontrollably and sprayed blood on the tiled floor!
"Tsk, it's ti to finish this farce," Charles muttered as he picked up the black cane using his right hand and went towards the steel door. He then hid the bloody head behind his back, kicked the door harder to make others stop knocking, unlocked it from inside using [Magician's Hand] skill, and opened it with a screeching noise.
At that mont, five muscular n had already drawn their weapons and were pointing them towards him with anxious expressions on their faces.
anwhile, Charles's gaze swept past those muscular n and soon landed on the chubby-faced kid, who stood ten ters away from them, with tears on his face.
A smile appeared on Charles's face as he moved his left hand from his back, showed the wide-eyed Leo's head towards those muscular n, and threw it towards them.
Upon seeing the wide-eyed Leo's head, all of their expression froze, and soon their whole bodies trembled. They knew how powerful their leader was and beca utterly shocked!
"Take this guy's body from the reception hall, clean the house neatly, and then scram," Charles said in a cold voice and then gestured Noel to co towards him.
