Fire Mage

Chapter 385: Eclipse Land

Ivory arrived near the golden chest and searched for a key in the small room. Other than the altar table and the golden chest, there were many other things like bronze jugs, brass lamps, a small cabin, oil jugs, and even some silver tumblers were scattered all over the place. Soon, she picked up a metallic key from the nearby rack and opened the golden chest with a click.

A second later, Charles heard a beating heart sound! Not only that, but he also heard a strange metal crunching sound from inside.

He hurriedly walked into the sanctum, arrived next to Ivory, and looked inside. Two things appeared in the golden chest. One was a beating heart, while the other one was a slimy blackish thing. Suddenly, mysterious red flame streaks came out of the heart through the aorta and burned the blackish thing. On the other hand, the slimy blackish thing continued to regrow and even attacked the red streaks before being burnt into ashes!

As Charles saw this thing, he couldn't help but comment.

"This looks more like a symbiote."

Meanwhile, Ivory took out a cubic glass from her space ring, picked up the symbiote creature using her wisdom power, and placed it in the cubic glass. The symbiote creature regenerated at an unimaginable speed and appeared twice as before in size!

But once Ivory sealed the symbiote in the cubic glass, it suddenly stopped moving and went motionless.

"Hmm, I can only seal this thing for an hour or so." Ivory deliberated for a moment, turned her gaze towards Charles, and spoke.

"Remove your shirt and lay on the floor. It will take more than 30 minutes to do the transplantation."

'Transplantation? Will it cause any kind of mutation?' Confusion appeared on his face.

As if she had expected his reaction, she let out a chuckle and answered.

"You don't have to worry about strange mutations, mortal. You see, this heart only cause changes in your elemental form. For example, I'm not going to take your original heart. Instead, I'm going to transplant this heart into your [Fire Born] spell's elemental form." She suddenly stopped talking and soon widened her eyes as she saw his confusion.

"Don't tell me! You don't know anything about the elemental form?" She stared at him with a disbelieving look on her face.

She soon returned to her usual self and muttered.

"It's been a while since I lost my composure for a second. I don't know how you manage to create a perfect elemental form without even knowing, but this is incredible." Just as she spoke, she turned her gaze towards Charles, touched his chest, and infused it with a bit of fire elemental power.

A moment later, Charles's [Fire Born] spell activated on its own and turned him into a pure fire being.

But Charles didn't pay any attention to her at all.

'It's the fire-elemental plane! The plane's Will is the one that helped me create this [Fire Born] spell. I sacrificed a blood drop of a divine and tried to increase my fire affinity level. But at the end, the Will also sent some flame streaks and made some alterations in my body. That's how I create the [Fire Born] spell model at that time.' A look of understanding appeared on his face. When comparing with Edhen World's Will, the fire-elemental plane had helped him in many ways!

While he was in muse, Ivory took out the beating heart from the golden chest and gestured him to lay down.

Meanwhile, Charles didn't say anything and did as she told him to do.

At that moment, Ivory also squatted down and spoke while talking out a few metallic instruments like knives, blades, needles, and even some reddish elemental crystals.

"This form is also a part of your body. Although it doesn't form into a true elemental body, it will in a few decades." While muttering, she skillfully picked up the nearby knife and directly stabbed it onto Charles's chest.

Although Charles felt pain, it wasn't hard for him to endure. She made precise cuts, ripped lava-like flesh, and soon ripped a heart-like thing. But when comparing it with the heart in Ivory's hand, that thing was barely considered as a heart. Then, she placed the Fire Bird's heart in Charles's chest and started chanting in a mysterious language.

At that moment, she also created elemental words in the thin air and started sending them into his chest area. Meanwhile, those mysterious words entered deep into his body and started connecting the heart with his elemental body!

Meanwhile, Charles looked up at the ceiling and started thinking about how his disciples and his clones were doing.

...

Town Lord's Mansion, Night Town, Eclipse Land, Iron Kingdom, Edhen World.

It was around 8 A.M.

At that moment, a four-wheeled carriage came from the opposite road and soon stopped at the mansion gate. Then, a brown-haired coachman jumped down from the driver's seat, landed on the ground, and soon started walking towards the compound gate.

Meanwhile, two gates at the entrance gave the coachman a big salute and opened the gate for him.

On the other hand, the coachman waved his hand, adjusted his bowler hat, and stepped inside. He appeared to be around 21 to 22-years-old, had brown hair, deep-set brown eyes, shadow Nose Bridge, fair skin, and a classic handlebar mustache under his nose.

He wore a double-breasted black coat, waist pants, black boots, a red carved tie, and a monocle. He was none other than Titus!

After Daisy got the Baroness title, they left the Iron City and came to Eclipse Land to check. They went to different villages during the past seven days and checked the local people's living conditions.

Although they want to stay a few more days, Titus's sister suddenly called him this morning through a communication ring and told them to return to the city. Even Titus felt some urgency in her tone!

'Did something happen?' He muttered under his breath and soon arrived in front of the mansion house entrance.

"Daisy? It's time." He shouted.

Before he could say another word, the wooden door opened with a click, and soon a silver-haired woman walked out from it. She had a pretty smooth face, a sharp nose, and wore a floral ruffled gown.

She took a step forward, arrived in front of Titus's face, and kissed him on the lips. After that, she retracted her face, grabbed his rough arm, and asked with a smile.

"Shall we go?"

"Of course, my dear." Titus nodded his head and started walking out of the mansion. Then, he gave the Mansion house key to the gatekeeper and arrived near the carriage. After that, he opened the red curtain and gestured Daisy to walk in.

Once she entered the carriage, he moved towards the front, climbed up on the driver's seat, and sat down.

Following that, he took out a long whip from his space ring, whipped the horses, and drove the carriage towards the town's exit. After a few minutes of travel, the carriage soon left the Night Town and entered a plain land filled with trees and shrubs.

As the carriage moved slowly, Daisy removed the curtain, peeked at the faraway paddy field, and asked.

"What do you think about Jessie's urgent call, my dear? Even if things are urgent, she should've given you an explanation, right?"

Upon hearing her words, Titus also nodded his head and answered in a confused tone.

"I never saw her talk like that. That's why I got more anxious."

In the meantime, Daisy sighed deeply and added.

"Just make another call and ask her about the problem. If things are more serious, we can use our wing artifacts and get there quick."

"Yes, why didn't I think about that?" He slapped his forehead and took out the communication ring from his pocket. Then, he used his wisdom power and activated it.

A few seconds later, a pleasant female voice echoed from the other side.

"Titus! You finally got some time to call your sister? I heard you guys went to the Eclipse Land. How is the journey?"

As Titus heard his sister's word, he wore a confused look and asked.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you call me earlier this morning and told me to return to the city?"

A strange silence answered. After a short pause, Jessie took a deep breath and answered in a solemn tone.

"No, Titus. I didn't call you."

Meanwhile, Titus's and Daisy's faces went stiff.

Before they could wake up from the shock, Jessie spoke from the other side in a dead-serious tone.

"Titus? Can you tell me everything in detail? Don't leave a single word."
