Chapter 147: Small Test
Savage Forest, Twilight Land, Moris Fire Elemental Plane.
In a small cave near the lava pool, a gem-like leaf attached to the cave wall suddenly started to let out dim green light.
A moment later, a human figure suddenly appeared in front of the leaf!
Charles opened his amber eyes and glanced at the surrounding in vigilance.
Once he noticed that no one was inside the cave, he let out a sigh of relief and shifted his attention to his own body and soul.
At that moment, dense fire-elemental energies started to surround his body like a hurricane and seemed to be analyzing his body.
Simultaneously, he suddenly noticed that his [Elemental Body] spell activated on its own.
A second later, his whole body started to bath in a yellowish fire. It was not a fire filled with pure destruction, but a fire filled with warmth!
This strange yellowish fire did not even burn his clothes!
At that moment, he felt a sense of belonging.
He felt that this world was welcoming its new child's arrival!
'This... Could it be due to my [Elemental Body] spell model?' His eyes flickered in a yellowish fire.
Charles stood there solemnly for a while and soon noticed that no planar restrictions appeared on his body.
Instead, he felt more comfortable!
'I can cast my Rank-2 spells continuously now.' The corner of his lips curled upward and formed into a pleased smile.
In a blink, the fire disappeared, and he returned to his usual old man appearance.
Letting out a chuckle, he then touched his face and cast [Face-Change] skill on himself.
A moment later, his face turned into his original young one with deep-blue hair. His wrinkled skin also started to face and was replaced by a smooth one.
But unlike before, his face appeared slightly older, and he seemed more like a matured one.
'Hmm, I'm now looking like a 25-year-old young adult.' He muttered inwardly and started walking towards the cave's exit.
Simultaneously, he gripped the black cane and ordered.
'Mr. Runeth, change into a bracelet form.'
Without any refusal, the Holem's Crown suddenly hovered in the air, started to change its shape, and soon formed into a red-gem embedded bracelet.
Meanwhile, Charles raised his hand, caught the bracelet, and wore it swiftly. After that, he combed his hand using his hand and continued to walk.
In a few seconds, he walked out of the cave and glanced around the surroundings.
It was already dusk, and the lava lake glowed in reddish color.
It was really a beautiful scenario to do a photoshoot!
Hot winds blew past his body as he stepped on the hardened rock-like shore and went in a different direction as if they were afraid of being pursued.
While he was in muse, he heard a splashing sound from the right side and shifted his attention towards the lava lake.
In the meantime, two reddish eyes peeked at him from the lava and soon started swimming in his direction at a fast speed.
In seconds, the creature appeared near the shore and soon walked out from the reddish lake. Lava droplets dripped from its shell-like skin and fell on the hardened rock shore.
Its neck was longer, had sharp knife-like teeth, and had the head of a lizard.
But unlike the Frilled Drake, this creature appeared a little bit taller and bigger!
It was a Variant Drake!
'This one is a Rank-3 creature with its peak strength.' Upon seeing the creature, he frowned a bit, raised his right hand, and pointed his forefinger towards it.
A moment later, a dense crimson fire ray came out from his hand and landed on its forehead in a second!
Enraged by the sudden attack, the variant Drake let out a roar and opened his mouth wide.
At that moment, the whole creature started to shine in a reddish light!
A second later, it spits out a reddish ray of lava in his direction.
"Interesting." A smile appeared on Charles's face as he cast [Crimson Steps] spell, moved towards his right side, and calmly evaded the lava ray.
At the exact moment, he once again pointed his finger at that creature and cast his [Incinerate] spell.
But this time, the crimson ray directly landed on its right eye and injured it!
Blood gushed out from its right eye, and it howled in anger.
Simultaneously, the variant Drake moved. Like a bolt of lightning, it ran towards his direction at a fast speed and was just 10 feet away from him.
Meanwhile, two crimson wings suddenly appeared behind Charles's back and flapped all of a sudden.
Before the variant Drake could reach him, Charles flew upward and coldly looked at the Drake from the sky.
'I can barely match against a Peak Rank-3 creature. But my spells are not strong enough to kill it.' He narrowed his eyes in annoyance.
'My main advantages against this Drake are [Vision] skill to read its next action, [Cryptic Analysis] skill to learn more information about the creature, human's scheming mind, and my artifacts. As for my [Incinerate] skill? It is barely harming this creature.' He let out a disappointing sigh and snapped his finger.
A moment later, a terrifying ball of fire appeared above his head and started to enlarge like a balloon.
In a blink, the fireball almost covered the sky and appeared more like a sun!
Upon seeing such an enormous fireball, the Drake suddenly shuddered.
It was the creature's instinct response!
Unfortunately, the variant Drake wasn't an intelligent creature and only took two steps backward in vigilance.
At that moment, a surprised expression appeared on Charles's face.
He was not surprised by Drake's movement, but by the size of fireball!
'This... It's double the size as before! Could it be? Am I also drawing the fire-elemental energy from the atmosphere?' He instantly stopped pouring raw fire into the fireball and started compressing it into a shape of an arrow.
At that moment, he saw that the surrounding fire elements were also pouring into the fire-arrow!
'Why? Is it due to my Inner-World? Or, is it due to my abnormal wisdom power?' He squinted his eyes sharper.
In a second, a reddish arrow hovered in front of him.
The next moment, the arrow moved towards the variant Drake at an unpredictable speed!
At that moment, the Drake suddenly forgot how to evade!
Before the Drake could snap out from the spell effect, the reddish arrow appeared in front of its forehead, pierced through it, and exploded from inside!
The next instant, only the headless body, stood on the hardened shore.
A moment later, the monstrous body fell with a loud thud!
[Target Eliminated! 5,605 Exp obtained!]
Charles sucked in a cold breath and soon noticed that a tired feeling appeared all of a sudden.
He was fatigued mentally!
'This raw power is way above Rank-3!' He slowly flapped the crimson wings and soon landed on the ground.
After that, he appeared in front of the headless Drake and furrowed his brows.
'This method is not good. If I had poured a little more fire elemental power into the fireball, I might have received some backlash. Moreover, this method is sucking up all the fire energy from both Inner-World and the outer surroundings.'
'When I tested this in the Moon Kingdom, I didn't feel anything odd and thought that raw power could rival a normal Rank-3 spell. But in this fire elemental plane, I clearly felt the difference. This power is definitely a peak level Rank-3 spell power or above! Hmm, I should refrain from using this one and started concentrating on killing normal Rank-2 and Rank-3 creatures.' He nodded thoughtfully, turned around, and started walking towards the cave entrance.
Then, he moved a large rock to block the entrance and entered inside through a small gap.
After that, he walked deep into the cave and soon found a comfortable place to sit.
Following that, he sat in a cross-legged position and entered his Inner World.
In a second, he found himself standing in front of a volcanic mountain. He soon saw that the whole world was shining in a bright red color!
He even saw many lava lakes and even a river!
'There are no memory illusions now.' He frowned a bit and soon noticed that each drop of liquid, rocks and even the air contains some of his memory!
He could tell that if he wants to change the topography of this Inner World, he could really change it with simple thoughts!
'This is what it feels like to be omnipotent, huh. But this is nothing but an illusion.' He let out a bitter laugh and then focused his attention on the Cubic Game-System.
In a blink, he disappeared and reappeared in front of the cube-like object.
Like the last time, countless runal letters hovered around it, and there was also the invisible power keeps obstructing him from moving near to it.
'I'm too weak.' He shook his head and then disappeared from there.
A moment later, he appeared above in the sky and was staring at the seven reddish stars.
No, it was the seven spell models!
He then focused his attention on the game interface and smiled lightly.
'I currently have 8,457 Exp points.' He thought inwardly and glanced at the spellbook option.
Soon, he started to read the corresponding spells of [Crimson Steps] spell.
[Flame Jump (3,430), Fire Flash (2,950), False Blink (4,590), Crimson Speed (3,100), etc.,]
'False Blink... A manipulative type of fire called False Fire that could help user to manipulate different kinds of elements.' He suddenly recalled Runeth's words and chose to construct the [False Blink] spell.
In a small cave near the lava pool, a gem-like leaf attached to the cave wall suddenly started to let out dim green light.
