Chapter 576 Charles’ Decision

Chapter 576 Charles' Decision

Charles moved through the thickets bordering a great forest.

It was an area filled with wonderful vegetation. Precious herbs, psychedelic plants, resource-rich flowers—everything could be found on the outskirts of the forest.

But it was all a lie.

There was nothing precious here.

Only tonnes and tonnes of rotten trees that cast illusions on every creature that entered their territory.

Charles' senses were also affected by the illusion and he saw a beautiful forest with great flora.

But that was it.

He wasn't swayed by the mental hints that kept popping in his brain.

'Take the flowers.'

'Grab the herbs.'

'Just one sniff.'

'Only a single petal.'

He moved steadily and swiftly. His feet were in the shape of wolf paws. With each kick to the ground, he moved several miles forward.

A figure under a robe followed him from behind.

As he did, the man couldn't help but marvel at the prowess of his young master.

Normally, even peak level 7 would be swayed by the illusions and persuaded by the mental hints.

But Charles was unaffected.

'His morphing entity, Lykos, has a strong mental resistance.' The man nodded to himself.

'He will be a tough opponent to psychics.' That much was certain.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The scenery changed from a green forest to a red-sand desert.

Charles stood on a large sand dune and looked into the distance.

His green eyes turned red and his vision was magnified.

A shining blue area came into view.

It was a huge lake. It appeared serene, with its sky blue water glistening under the sunlight.

A lot of faces Charles was familiar with were discussing things and departing from the area.

"Lake of Illusions," Charles muttered slowly.

If he was the controller, he could create a perfect disguise with no loopholes.

Either way, Charles' objective became clear.

He turned to his team and said. "Disguise Breakers."

"Young Master?" The team looked at each other in confusion.

"We need to find treasures that can break disguise. The stronger the better. The more the better." He said firmly.

The team fell silent.

"You know where they are, right? Go fetch them." He said calmly.

Silence filled the air...until a middle-aged woman stepped forward and said. "We can do that, but what about your next location?"

In their original plan, Charles was supposed to visit two more places. In those places, he needed their assistance.

If they go, what would he do?

"I need to consolidate my level," Charles said lightly.

The team opened their mouth in surprise and then nodded in understanding. Indeed, after advancement, typically, awakeners took a few hours to a few days to consolidate.

It was so different with Charles that they forgot about this.

But then, the newest recruit to the team, Hira asked.

"I think your consolidation will be far faster, just like your advancement."

"..."

Charles looked at her and the woman suddenly felt nervous.

"Yes. It will take only a day at most."

"Then what will you do, young master? We know the places with disguise breaking treasures, but even we need at least two days to get them." A member said in worry.

"And right after two days, we need to start the journey to Ruler's Abode or we won't make it." He added. The travel part worried him a bit.

Charles looked into the sky and took a breath.

"We'll reach there on time and these two days, I will fight."

"Pardon?"

"I need to fight. To get used to my powers." Charles said and pointed to the robed figure. "I'll be fine. Now go do your job."

"Yes."

Whoosh!

The team disappeared in a flash.

Charles stood in the same place for a long time, his gaze fixed on the lake of illusions.

'I will find you.'
