Chapter 430: Illusion
Charles paused for a mont, shifted his attention towards another part of his mory, and started reading it.
'Next is about why they targeted Baron Daniel. Hmm, it seems Irzoch's words are right. Duke Michael had been planning on getting the pioneer knight's legacy artifact for years. He is also the one who sent Baron Braxton to the battle of Mountain Falls and killed him secretively. As for how he knows about the secret of Pioneer Knight? Even prince Julius knew nothing much about it. But he suspects that it was lody who told Duke about that information. From his observation, lody is shrouded in full of mystery. At first, even Julius believed her as a normal druid from the faraway land. But now, he felt that she and Duke Michael are hiding so deep secret.' As he read the mories, Charles was stunned a little.
'Haa, Baron Daniel's territory beca a tool for these nobles, huh. In exchange for aid during the rebellion, Duke Michael and Julius chose to sacrifice the Gri Plains. Unfortunately, I took over Daniel's identity and crushed the Ammar Dynasty's army n. Due to my action, Duke beca wary of my real strength and chose to observe using the foreign knights. They continued to monitor my every movent for the past few months…'
'Even when I sent Irzoch and other foreign knights away, a demon sorcerer stayed inside the town and monitored my every movent. Unfortunately, he beca hesitant to attack when I broke the soul barrier and missed the opportunity.' Charles also read so information about the mysterious person's letter.
'Three days ago, a hooded person entered Duke Michael's mansion in Ironstall City and gave a sealed letter to his first son. The mysterious person ntioned in the letter that Baron Daniel would invade the castle and try to assassinate the Duke of Ironstall on the 2nd month of Pearl, Fallen Year 2457.' A frown appeared on his forehead.
He wasn't confused by the new calendar of this Faith plane. In truth, he heard about it long ago from Irzoch and knew that this calendar was also similar to Edhen World's one. But instead of 360 days per year, this Fallen calendar had 347 days, and most of the months only had 28 days. Moreover, month nas were also different.
Instead of usual month nas, the people of Faith Plane used completely new nas like Ruby, Diamond, Sapphire, Erald, Red Coral, Pearl, Topaz, Hessonite, Mithril, Athyst, moonstone, and White Jade.
Yes, these people were using gem nas for each month.
But the reason for his frown was different.
'So, this mysterious guy saw my future, huh. Moreover, his future vision appeared more accurate. It seems I need to go to the Light Kingdom and kill him swiftly.' He nodded inwardly and then continued to read.
But as he further read the mories, he couldn't help but show a shocked look on his face.
'That mysterious Victor also knew about my magic spells? Not only that, but he even knew about Nature's leaf?! Impossible.' His face stiffened.
But the truth was right in front of him now. At that mont, he also noticed a strange anomaly and furrowed his brows.
'Sothing is wrong. That mysterious Victor knew about my Mind Fire spells, enslaving spell, and even the [Black Inferno] spell, but not about my teleportation spell? Moreover, he also doesn't know about my shapeshifting skill? Did he hide this information intentionally, or he really doesn't know anything about it?' Although he still doesn't understand the exact situation, he vaguely felt that this mysterious guy wasn't also clueless about his skills.
'But this guy is in the dark while I'm in the open. It was as if he had watched one of my infinite futures!' Indeed, he already noticed this strangeness.
'The enemy knew about , but not everything. When I returned from the battlefield, he sent Bishop Blake to arrest . At that ti, he didn't contact the Bishop using so anonymous na. Instead, he directly contacted Blake and asked him to give so trouble. Because of that, I also manage to find so information about him, like his na and history. But he sohow realized his mistake later and chose to do everything anonymously.'
Unfortunately, Victor was a bit too late.
'No, that guy still knew much about . If my guess is right, he should be prepared for the worst possible outco.' Charles thought for a mont and decided to fool him completely.
For the next few minutes, he erased the remaining mory clouds and emptied his Inner World. Then, he stood up from his seat, left the Astral Plane, and appeared inside the luxurious room. He then moved towards the bed, broke the second prince's neck, and killed him without hesitation.
After that, he absorbed his body into his emptied Fire Domain and burned it.
Following that, he shifted his attention towards the identity imprints, activated a particular identity imprint, and started to shapeshift!
A few seconds later, he completely changed into an appearance of prince Julius, went towards the left side wardrobe, and took out the dresses. First, he wore braies, tights, a shirt and finally the surcoat.
Later, he moved towards the entrance and wore leather boots.
'Good.' Charles nodded inwardly, showed a tired look on his face, opened the double door, and walked outside. Then, he looked at both sides of the hallway and started walking towards the Grand Hall.
But just as he walked past the few rooms, a young man in his butler suit ca from the nearby room while carrying empty plates and soon widened his eyes.
"Your Highness!" He hurriedly placed the plates on the floor, ran towards him, and bowed his head.
On the other hand, Charles looked at him coldly and asked.
"What are you doing here, Jeremy? I asked you to bring that b*tch in two minutes, right? Where is she?!" His sharp voice echoed in the hallway.
On the other hand, Jeremy went pale in an instantly and hurriedly explained.
"N-No, Your Highness! When I brought her to your room, you were already fallen asleep. That's why I told her not to disturb you."
anwhile, Charles shrugged his shoulder and then added while waving his hand.
"Forget it. Go and bring lody now."
Saying so, he turned around and started walking towards his room. On the other hand, the butler nad Jeremy wore a bitter look on his face, turned around, and hurriedly ran towards the Grand Hall.
At that mont, Charles returned to the bedroom, removed his surcoat, placed it on the nearby table, and then went towards the bed.
Then, he lay on the bed, unbuttoned his shirt, and waited for lody to walk in.
A few minutes later, running footsteps ca from the outside and soon stopped near the double door.
Then, a knocking sound ca from the outside.
'Here she cos.' Charles nodded inwardly and spoke in a cold tone.
"Co in."
A second later, a young woman in her twenties opened the door from outside and walked in. Her loose erald hair fluttered in the wind as she stepped inside and greeted him with a smile. Then, she turned around, locked the door, untied the dress knots, and removed her brown embroidered dress.
After that, she once again turned around and walked towards his bed. Even though she wore a white chemise inside her dress, it appeared very thin and transparent.
Upon seeing her walking towards him with a seductive smile, Charles chuckled and checked her status.
While he stayed in the Astral Plane, he activated his [Arcane Eyes] skill and tried to scan her. But due to the presence of a dinsional barrier, he couldn't.
As he tried to probe her with his [Arcane Eyes] skill, he noticed a difference.
Even though she walked towards him, his [Arcane Eyes] showed no presence in that area!
Furrowing his brows, he released a bit of his wisdom power and tried to scan her body but soon froze.
'She is indeed walking towards … No, sothing feels off.' Charles suddenly sensed a dense amount of nature energy inside her body and felt suspicious.
No, he realized that it wasn't lody, but a pure form of Nature Energy!
'A realistic illusion?' A surprised look appeared on his face. If not for his [Arcane Eyes] skill, even he would've fallen under such illusion!
At that mont, he knew that the other party had already found out sothing was wrong with him!
Charles released his wisdom power without delay, crushed the nature energy clone with pure force, and completely enveloped his bedroom.
A second later, he noticed that the half-naked lody turned into a green cloud and dissolved into thin air!
On the other hand, Charles shifted his gaze towards the entrance door and smiled.
At that mont, lody stood near the closed door and stared at him with a shocked look on her face.
She tried to open her mouth but couldn't. Currently, Charles's wisdom power enveloped her body and wholly shackled her!
Her breath grew harder while so mysterious power constantly entered her mind and affected her thinking.
On the other hand, Charles stood up from his bed and walked towards her with a smile.
"Well, I didn't expect to find a Blessed One in this plane. Hmm, you are not a follower of this Light Goddess, are you? Which God are you serving, Young Lady?" His voice appeared calm and cold.
Simultaneously, he sized her body up and down and analyzed her.
In a second, a row of information appeared in front of his eyes.
