Chapter 177: Intimidation
One hour later, Charles and the group finally reached the city gate and soon saw two queues at the entrance.
The citizens who stood in the right-side queue were mostly peddlers and low-class commoners, while the remaining ones who stood on the left side were robed mages, luxuriously dressed merchants, and nobles.
Charles thought for a moment and soon chose the right-side queue. After lining up, he glanced at the hundreds of peoples and then focused his attention on the outer wall.
It was a 6-meter tall outer wall, built-in iron, and appeared majestic. Charles's gaze then swept past the tall wall and soon landed on the Iron Tower.
'A Rank-5 Existence, huh...' He sighed inwardly and moved along with the queue.
After another hour of waiting, Jessie paid the entrance fees to everyone and stepped into the City of Iron.
Meanwhile, Rhea and other kids also followed behind her closely and looked at the city's interior in curious.
As Charles stepped in, the corner of his lips suddenly curled upward.
'Mr. Runeth, shall we start?' He asked in his mind.
'Haha, let's scare these puny mages. It's been a long time since I released my full power.' An instant response came out from the black cane.
Letting out a chuckle, Charles tapped the cane, asked the Holem's Crown to transform into a bracelet, and wore it.
"Enjoy the show, kids." He commented casually and looked up at the clear blue sky.
The next second, two eerie reddish-black wings appeared behind him and flapped all of a sudden.
His figure soared up in the sky in a blink and frightened all the nearby citizens, soldiers, peddlers, shopkeepers, and even some robed mages.
"Who dares to use their magic openly?" A raging voice echoed from the city wall, and soon a group of blue-robed mages cast different wings spells on themselves and flew up towards the sky.
They were the elite mages who were responsible for maintaining order and peace.
The one who was in the lead wore a unique silk-lined blue robe and appeared taller than an average man. He had curly long scarlet hair, square face and held a black-covered book in his hand.
Upon seeing his appearance, almost all the citizens and mages breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Wizard Hudson is here!" Some citizens even started to shout out his name excitingly.
He was a Rank-3 Storm Wizard with considerable experience in fighting!
These kinds of wild mages' rude behaviors were quite common in this large city, so the citizens quickly calmed down and looked up at the sky to watch the show.
On the other hand, tens of silver-armored soldiers walked out from the city wall and urged the citizens to hide somewhere.
They knew that fights against Mages would always cause damage to the surroundings, so they urged everyone.
Meanwhile, Charles looked down at the blue-robed mages from the sky and smiled.
"I dare!" The next instant, his voice, infused with wisdom power, echoed in every citizen's ears.
It was so strong that it caused the nearby citizens to faint on the spot!
The next moment, an invisible ripple went through the surroundings and covered the commoner's street!
It was the might of his full wisdom power!
Simultaneously, fire sparks started to appear around Charles and soon formed into eerie reddish fireballs.
Upon witnessing such magic, the flying mages, including Wizard Hudson, flapped their wings to stop the moment and turned pale.
'Rank-4 Mage!' That thought appeared in everyone's mind!
Before Hudson could take the initiative to ask the identity of the mysterious mage, another kind of invisible ripple came out from him and went in every direction!
But unlike the previous one, this one contains a trace of pure evil and wickedness!
At that moment, Charles's surroundings also started to distort and showed different kinds of illusionary scenes.
Some illusions showed vast peaceful skies, while the remaining illusions showed the appearance of creepy creatures.
Illusions of Ancient demons, horned Devils, different kinds of monsters, and battle scenes appeared in the sky one by one.
This time, every mages' face went pale as a white sheet!
'Rank-4 Dual Mage!' They were utterly terrified.
At that moment, the new type of wickedly wisdom power mingled with Charles's one and started to expand.
It went to Nobles' District, Slum District, and soon reached the 1,000 meters tall Iron Tower!
In two seconds, the invisible power covered the whole City of Iron and caused every Rank-3 to turn their gaze towards the western sky.
Shock, terror, fear, and anxiety appeared on each of those mages' faces!
Five Rank-4 Mages in the Iron Tower and the other three ordinary Rank-4 Mystics in the Nobles' District also turned their gazes towards the western sky and showed gloomy looks on their faces.
They knew it was the Ancient Mages whom they provoked earlier and started to get anxious.
...
Nobles' District, Emerald Street.
A black-haired woman, who appeared around 25 to 28 years old, stood inside an artifact shop and was in the middle of searching an ornamental stone for her private usage.
She wore a red robe and appeared more like an apprentice fire mage than an official mage.
She was none other than the Destiny Lady!
As she was about to take a sapphire-like gem from a metal box, she heard an old man's voice in her ears.
'I dare!'
Surprise flashed on her face.
She felt that this voice was so familiar, yet at the same time unfamiliar!
A moment later, she felt an eerie invisible ripple came from the western direction and widened her scarlet eyes.
The next second, a freezing aura oozed out from her body and caused the nearby ornamental stones to break into powders!
But she didn't mind at all.
Currently, her surprised face had already turned into a shocked one!
She instantly closed the metal box, walked out of the shop, and looked up at the western sky.
At that moment, the whole western sky was filled with vast numbers of creepy illusions, giving a feeling of terror to every citizen's heart.
Normal Mages and Mystics shivered in fear and terror!
Unknown to Destiny Lady, few drops of cold sweats started to appear on her forehead!
During the past few days, she indeed gathered some information from time to time and found out about a strange rumor.
It was the appearance of an Ancient Mage, who just woke up from slumber!
'But to think that fragile-looking old man is the rumored Ancient Mage.'
"He is much stronger than I thought!" She muttered in a grave tone and sighed.
'It's better to maintain a friendly relationship with him.' A bitter smile appeared on her face.
A moment later, her body turned blurry and soon disappeared from there.
The next instant, she appeared 200 meters away from Charles, bent her waist a bit, and greeted him.
"Destiny Lady of the Tower of Elements greets the Ancient Mage Oswald." Her loud voice echoed in the sky.
The citizens who stood in the right-side queue were mostly peddlers and low-class commoners, while the remaining ones who stood on the left side were robed mages, luxuriously dressed merchants, and nobles.
