Chapter 158: Clone
Meanwhile, Charles flapped his red wings to slow down the momentum and soon landed in front of them.
Then, he waved his hand, conjured tens of fireballs, and threw it towards those skeletons.
Within seconds, the balls of fire landed on the skeletons and burned them before they could even run.
After that, he went near the water shield, break it with his hand, and cast [Soul Heal] spell on all the kids.
"Are you guys alright?" He asked.
Meanwhile, all of them glanced at each other and nodded their heads. Then, Jessie suddenly thought of something and spoke.
"There are still more skeletons in the Town, Teacher. They seem to be kidnapping the kids who are only around 10 to 15 years old."
At that moment, Titus also sheathed his dagger and spoke.
"These skeletons also seem to be following someone's order. If my guess is not wrong, that person might be controlling these skeletons from afar."
At this moment, Noel coughed violently and squatted down, causing others to stop their talking.
"He is just tired." Charles took a deep look at his condition and then looked around.
'Hmm, it seems someone doesn't want me to increase my current strength. If it is a normal circumstance, I will leave this town and takes these kids to the Royal Capital for safety. But I feel uncomfortable about that idea... Although it was just my guess, I can't act carelessly.' He nodded thoughtfully and soon began to ponder about his current problem.
'Currently, I need someone strong enough to protect these kids while I go to the Fire Plane to earn more Exp. Holem's Crown? Nah, the artifact's identity mustn't be kept as a secret from others. Should I strengthen these kids' survivability by giving them some of my low-rank artifacts? Hmm, that's a good idea, but activating the artifacts requires wisdom power. Only Rhea and Jessie are eligible to use them now.' Charles rubbed his temple in headache and soon made up his mind.
"Let's go back to the house. After some rest, we will go to Duke Conor's Eastford City and buy Class Gems at the black market. It would only take one day travel by carriage anyway."
Upon hearing his words, everyone's face brightened. Noel also stood up and nodded his head in agreement.
"Teacher, I haven't reached my peak stage yet." Only Rhea showed a little disappointment on her face and spoke.
"How many spell models have you constructed till now?" Charles glanced at her and questioned.
In the meantime, Rhea lowered her in distress and said in a low voice.
"Only four spell models, Teacher."
Nodding his head, Charles turned around and spoke.
"Don't put too much thought into it. In truth, your achievement should already be considered a genius-level one. Unlike other Class Mystics, Mages need to rely on themselves, so it will take time for us to Rank-Up."
Saying so, he took a step forward and started to walk in the eastern direction.
On the other hand, the kids nodded their heads and followed after him with fast footsteps.
On the way, Charles and others didn't meet any skeletons and returned to the house in Strangers Street.
Meanwhile, Ashley had already woken up and was shivering in the corner of the main hall.
Due to the ghost's appearance, she was completely scared out of her wits.
If not for Rhea's and other kids' return, she would have stayed there like a statue.
Once the kids saw her appearance, they went near her and asked about what had happened in concern.
After a short narration from Ashley, all the kids went pale in fright and horror!
To them, an undead skeleton was nothing but a strange magical being. But the ghost was a completely different matter.
The knowledge about a ghost was always a mystery, even for mages and Mystics.
Even Charles faced some trouble upon encountering such a sneaky being. If not for his [Soul Heal] spell, even he would have thought of giving up on fighting it!
'Hmm, the ghost's known abilities are invisibility, it can move objects like telekinesis and cause the surrounding temperature to drop to some degree. It might also have abnormal wisdom power. Then, it can possess other person and might turn an ally into an enemy.' Charles shook his head and sat on the old sofa.
Meanwhile, the kids exchanged their first fighting experience with Ashley to make her more comfortable and then went to their own room.
Ashley also finally let go of the fear in her heart and started walking towards the nearby room to rest.
One of the main reasons for her courage was the presence of a mage in the house. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stepped out of the main hall at all.
On the other hand, Charles thought of the earlier soul form and asked the Holem's Crown in interest.
'Can I able to see my own soul form?'
'Unless you rank up to a Legendary Mage, it's almost impossible.' The Holem's Crown gave an instant reply.
'You mean Rank-6 Mage?' Charles raised his eyebrows and probed.
'Yes. We just call the Rank-6 as Legendary Mages. Now, let's come to the current topic. Why you want to see your soul form?' The Holem's Crown asked in suspicion.
Meanwhile, Charles didn't put much thought into it and spoke truthfully.
'I have a vague feeling that I might need to know more about my soul for the future advancement.'
'It's the Trickster Class's prediction ability, isn't it? Hmm, it might have something to do with your sub-class. I heard that High-Rank Trickster Class Mystics could create clones from their body parts, so it might be related to this one.' The Holem's Crown suddenly revealed a shocking truth, causing Charles to widen his eyes!
'Clones?' He suddenly got intrigued.
'Yes, I don't know at which rank you can create clones from your body parts, but it should be around Rank-5 to Rank-7. But it consumes one's lifespan. If you use the Trickster class skill to create a clone, you will lose one-tenth of your lifespan.' The Holem's Crown's following words caused Charles's excitement to go down in an instant.
After a long silence, Charles let out a wry smile and spoke.
'It's a double-edged sword skill, is it?'
'It is. But that's why this skill is feared even by the Gods, lad.' Without waiting for Charles to ask more questions, the Holem's Crown made a fake cough and continued in an exciting tone.
'The Trickster Class's clone ability is similar to Gods' unique ability.'
'Are you talking about the Gods' Avatar-making ability?' Charles suddenly interjected.
'Yes. What would happen if you could create tens of you to fight against a God in the future? Although the clones would only exert 60 percent of your original strength, it was still a shocking one. You would be equally matched against a God... No, you would even overwhelm a God in fighting! If you use this ability properly, you could even fight equally against a God's multiple Avatars and might even kill them. No, you might even have a chance to kill a God's main body. Have you ever heard of a mage killing a God? Never! Only some Warlocks could achieve such feat.' The Holem's Crown suddenly got excited.
No, craziness appeared in its tone.
'It seems this artifact really has some deep grudge against the Gods.' That was the first thought that came to Charles's mind.
Then, he waved his hand, conjured tens of fireballs, and threw it towards those skeletons.
Within seconds, the balls of fire landed on the skeletons and burned them before they could even run.
