Chapter 167: Constructing Spell Models

Meanwhile, Charles got relieved inside and started to speak.

"This artifact is Goddess Rodia's Cursed Gem. The purple gem was looted from one of her ancient Temples and was later brought to the Arc Kingdom. Its known abilities are that it can create bizarre kidnappings, murders, and coincidences. It is already affecting the whole kingdom of Iron..."

Destiny Lady patiently listened to his every word, and soon her expression turned gloomy.

She indeed encountered some strange coincidences during the past few days and got unknown anxiety.

'This artifact is a dangerous one.' That was the first thought that came to her mind.

But she never thought of giving up.

'No matter what, I must obtain this artifact.' She muttered inwardly with firm resolution and soon spoke.

"When the right time comes, you have to help me obtain this artifact, mister."

Meanwhile, Charles let out a bitter laugh and nodded.

"I will promise you with that."

After obtaining such priceless information, Destiny Lady didn't stay in the main hall for more than a few seconds and disappeared from there.

On the other hand, Charles used his wisdom power to scan everywhere and soon breathed out a sigh of relief.

"She indeed left the town."

'You should be very careful when she is around, lad. She is not some normal woman.' The Holem's Crown gave him a warning.

"You are right." Charles tersely acknowledged its words.

'I should focus on farming more Exp points and construct the remaining spell models.' He stood up from the sofa and started walking towards the underground basement.

After that, he told the kids and Ashley to return to the house and silently left Edhen.

...

A moment later, Charles returned to the underground cave in the Fire Elemental Plane and started his mission.

Unlike before, he didn't use the sneaky method. Instead, he chose a small Red Lizard settlement and directly attacked them with full force.

On the first day, he killed seven Rank-3 Lizards and earned a total amount of 18,000 Exp points!

For the next ten days, he used most of his time attacking multiple small settlements and earned a total of 94,000 Exp points!

It was more than enough for him to upgrade all of his spell models!

After that, Charles returned to Edhen and took a long rest. He then freshened himself up and spent some time with the kids.

Mostly, he used his personal knowledge and cleared some of their doubts about their classes and skills.

Following that, he returned to the underground basement around 8 P.M and chose a comfortable place to sit.

He then closed his eyes, entered the Inner World, flew towards the dark sky, and soon appeared in front of the seven spell models.

After looking at the spell models briefly, he opened his game interface and zeroed his gaze on the spellbook option.

'I should first upgrade the [Crimson Robe] spell.' He nodded thoughtfully.

A moment later, a list of spell model names appeared in front of his eyes.

But among them, one spell instantly caught his attention.

[Sun's Shell-

It's a rare spell that could block multiple Rank-3 spells at once. This Sun's Shell spell could even stop mind spell attacks and has the power of 'Lawful Fire' hidden in it! Not only that, but this spell could also protect the user from any curse magic spells.

Cost: 18,300 Exp points!]

'Although the description is vague, I can finally found some clue about this Lawful Fire. With this spell's help, I can easily counter the Hell Fire now.' He curled his lips upward and chose to construct it.

The next instant, many runal words came from the Inner World and encircled the previous [Crimson Robe] spell model.

It took more than three hours to construct the Rank-3 [Sun's Shell] spell model!

Once the construction process was over, Charles focused his attention on the new [Sun's Shell] spell model and soon noticed some changes in it.

'My emotions are appearing denser and clearer in Rank-3 spell models... Sun's Shell spell model has Kindness, Friendship, and Loyalty... But somehow, I feel no repulsion. It was as if this spell model had already met its requirement...' His eyes widened all of a sudden.

'So, that's it. With my previous life experience, I already met its requirement... But I'm not sure if I face some obstacles in the future.' Charles nodded his head and then turned his attention towards the next one.

It was the [Soul Heal] spell model!

Like before, he searched for a suitable spell and soon found an upgraded version of the [Soul Heal] spell model at the cost of 15,740 Exp points.

Charles didn't think for a moment before he spent the right amount of Exp points and constructed the Rank-3 [Soul Heal] spell model.

Once the construction was over, Charles looked at the spell model and noticed something abnormal in this particular one!

'This spell model has Love and Care emotions... But unlike other ones, this one hasn't met the requirement... No, this feels so empty.' His expression turned gloomy.

'If I didn't solve this problem, it will surely cause a variance during the next rank up and might turn me into a Distorted Shadow.'

He was damn sure of it.

'This spell model is in a most unstable condition.' He nodded his head and then turned his gaze towards the next spell model.

It was the False Blink spell model!

Charles didn't even glance at other options as he clicked the [Flame Teleport] spell and decided to construct it at the cost of 16,500 Exp points.

After the construction process was done, he found no changes in the spell model and then moved to the next one.

'Red Wings...' A frown appeared on his forehead.

'It's a wicked spell. And, it is also good at hiding the evil emotions.' Sighing deeply, Charles opened the spellbook and glanced at the spell model lists.

'Devil's Wings, Fallen Angel's Wings, Evil Wings, Curse Wings, Wings of Hatred... What the hell is wrong with the spell models? All of them are pure evil...' His expression turned pensive for a moment.

'But I have to choose any one of these spell models.' He thought for a moment and chose to construct the [Fallen Angel's Wings] spell model.

Among the other spells, he felt that this spell model was the one that had something less evil.

'Even though it is a wicked one, it is still angel's wings after all. So, it shouldn't be that much of an evil...' He muttered inwardly and started to read the description.

'Hmm, these wings' feathers have the scent of Hell Flame, so the user can use these feathers to affect enemies' deep emotions. Not only that, but the feather can also be useful to curse others' bodies. If the user could combine this feather with Mind Fire, he can directly invade one's Inner World and turn them into a pure wicked being... This spell is indeed a wicked one.'

He hesitated for a moment and chose to construct it.

It cost him a total of 20,400 Exp points!

Although it was slightly higher than all other spell models, he felt it was worth it.

Unlike other spells, it took more than five hours for the system to construct the spell models.

Not only that, but the spell model itself suddenly started to change color and looked blackish red in color!

Charles turned his gaze towards the eerie spell model and finally noticed the emotions hidden in it.

'Envy, Greed, Hatred, and Pleasure... So, these are my deep evil emotions, huh.' He smiled wryly and flew towards the final spell model.

It was the [Elemental Body] spell model!

Charles soon arrived in front of the spell model and checked the spellbook.

To his astonishment, he only saw one spell model name in the corresponding spell list!

[Fire Born (22,100 Exp)]
