Chapter 200: Weakness
On the other hand, Charles wore a mocking smile and retorted.
"I'm a Fire Mage, not a Telepathist."
At the exact moment, his gaze locked onto Theo's face and released a mysterious power towards his Inner World!
Meanwhile, the minute stars in Charles's eyes also enlarged all of a sudden.
His [Wisdom Sight] skill activated on its own!
The next instant, he found a weakness in his perception!
No, Theo's perception was almost non-existed!
'His wisdom power is very low! He hasn't reached 50 points yet. It's his weakness!'
Without any hesitation, Charles cast [Fire Seed] spell on him and stealthily disrupting his thinking.
While he was attacking Theo's mind, Eric made a swift decision and rushed towards him at an astonishing speed!
At the same time, Vivian also took out an eerie black card from her space ring and started to chant.
It was the [Spirit Hex] curse activation incantation!
Even though Charles burned her important memory, she had long replicated the chanting method and stored it in her incarnation!
As long as she finishes the incantation, she can activate the card and put the soul curse on this Ancient Mage!
But before she could recite the first verse, she heard a metal clicking noise.
The next instant, the space behind Theo's head began to distort and revealed a metallic artifact, causing Vivian and Eric to pause for a moment.
BANG!
From the void, a crimson bullet came out from it!
The bullet was so fast that it appeared in front of Theo's nape in an instant!
Before everyone could understand the situation, the crimson bullet entered his nape, tore through the vertebra, entered deep into his neck, and appeared in front of his throat, leaving a bloody hole behind!
But that was just a start, though.
A moment later, an invisible needle entered the hole and turned visible.
At that moment, everyone saw a reddish crimson light appeared from the bloody hole!
It was the Rank-3 [Needle of Ember] spell!
Charles's lips curled up as he raised his long sword and spat out a word.
"Bang."
The next instant, his body suddenly turned into a crimson flame and disappeared from there.
Simultaneously, the [Needle of Ember] spell broke apart and released a pure reddish flame.
It was a pure chaotic flame!
The next moment, the reddish chaos flame entered Theo's body and completely corrupted him from inside.
His skin turned blackish red, and his eyes and hair also began to turn darker.
Following that, Theo's body began to enlarge like a balloon and exploded while releasing chaotic reddish flame in every direction!
The explosion released a terrifying shockwave and caused Vivian and Eric to back away in a hurry.
A small crater appeared on the dirt road!
Shock and alarm appeared on their faces.
Even the Iron Tower Mages and other Mystics, who were observing the battle through their wisdom power, got utterly stunned!
A Rank-4 Mystic died in a few seconds!
No one could even understand how the Ancient Mage managed to kill him!
At that moment, Charles suddenly appeared among the 24 masked assassins, released his full wisdom power, and threw the black feathers in all directions.
The Holem's Crown also activated its freezing skill and froze the nearby assassins!
A smirk appeared on his face as he gripped the long sword and made a whirling stance.
A thin reddish aura enveloped his long sword as it cut through the air and appeared on the nearby assassin's neck in a short amount of time.
Before the other party could understand the situation, his long sword cleaved through his neck and moved towards the next assassin!
Charles's hand movements appeared blurring as his body whirled multiple times in two seconds and decapitated eight assassins!
By the time he stopped his movement, assassins' heads had flown up in the sky while spraying scarlet blood and landed on the dirt road one by one!
All of them were Rank-3 Phantom Stringer Class Mystics!
But they died before they could even think!
But what made others feel terrified was that the Ancient Mage hadn't cast a single Rank-4 spell!
He stood among the dancing bodies and glanced at the notification with a satisfied smile on his face.

..
At that moment, the white-haired Eric released his wisdom power, turned around, and stared at Charles with a stern look on his face.
Vivian also stopped reciting the chant, turned around, and gawked at the old man in amazement and shock.
"Swordsmanship, teleportation and memory stealing.. As expected, this Ancient Mage really is from the Era of Past Time." She said with an admiration look on her face.
But she didn't lose her calm, though.
She silently raised her right hand, conjured an eerie black spear, and sent it towards Charles.
It was a spell called the curse of Corrosion!
As the spear was about to collide on Charles's body, a thin yellowish layer appeared around his body and blocked it.
The next instant, a loud bang echoed in the area, followed by screams!
It was the screams of the nearby assassins!
At that moment, the whole area was covered by this dense black smoke and affected the masked assassins' bodies.
Thankfully, Rank-4 [Sun's Glare] spell completely blocked the smoke and nullified the corrosive smokes.
Noticing that her curse spell was not effective on the Ancient Mage, Vivian let out a disappointing sigh and began to chant.
Her voice also turned hoarse and appeared eerier!
On the other hand, Eric also noticed the seriousness and let out a deep sigh.
But that deep sigh caused Charles's heart to accelerate all of a sudden!
The next instant, a blackish humanoid figure entered Charles's Inner World, formed into a figure of an illusionary white-haired old man, and looked around.
It was Eric's [Mad Man] Class skill, Consciousness Invade!
"Hmm? Why there are volcanic mountains and lava pools? Is this the Inner World of an Ancient Mage?" He muttered in a shocked tone and took out an eerie greenish-blue gem from his pocket.
In the meantime, Charles and his 'Clone' also sensed a foreign presence in the Inner World and became stunned.
'Switch your consciousness with-' As Charles was about to ask for his 'Clone' help, he suddenly noticed a change in the game interface and stopped.
This chapter was first shared on the n(0))vel(b)(j)(n) platform.
..
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
[A foreign consciousness is detected in Host's Inner World!]
[Safety protocol has been activated!]
[Eliminating the foreign consciousness from the Host's Inner World..]
[Elimination Completed!]
..
In the meantime, an invisible ripple appeared from the deep volcanic world, formed into a sharp wave, and silently erased Eric's illusionary consciousness!
Only a greenish-blue gem floated in the air for a moment and fell into a lava pool.
'What the f*ck? The system can even eliminate a foreign consciousness?'
Charles went daze for a moment in the real world and soon saw a twisted look on Eric's face.
No, he saw confusion, panic, and terror on the old man's face.
With a single look, he knew that the old man had received a severe backlash and acted.
He cast [Flame Teleportation] spell on himself, disappeared from there, and reappeared behind him.
Simultaneously, he used [Sleight of Mystery Hand] and completely bound his body with hundreds of invisible strings.
"You choose the wrong opponent." An icy voice came from Charles's mouth as he raised his sword and was about to slash but stopped.
No, a thought appeared in his mind!
'Why can't I use [Fire Seed] spell to get more information from him?'
At the same time, he sensed something was wrong with his thinking and shouted in his mind.
'Switch with me.'
The next instant, his 'Clone' consciousness took control over his body and moved his hand.
The reddish aura-coated long sword moved again and soon appeared near Eric's neck.
A moment later, his head was decapitated and rolled on the ground!
