Chapter 576: Enslaved

Charles froze as he heard those words and dropped the glass.

At the same time, a notification popped up before his eyes, showing the time.

[Seven seconds before the array goes disable mode... six... five... four... three... two...one!]

'No good! She did this on purpose to distract me!'

Instantly, he tried to spit out the thing he had just drunk, but nothing came.

At that moment, Violet stepped forward and cast [Telekinesis] bloodline spell on him, completely making him immobile.

"You are so easy to manipulate, Mr Charles. Just my words caused you to loosen your guard even more." Saying so, Violet looked deeply into Charles's eyes and muttered.

"Mind Invasion!"

A second later, Charles suddenly sensed a foreign power entering his Inner World and widened his eyes.

Simultaneously, he also entered his Inner World and soon saw a blob-like monstrous worm hovering thousands of meters above his Inner World. It had more than hundreds of strange black tentacles around its body, eerie blackish, countless creepy white eyes all over its body, and appeared to be around 100 meters tall.

The mere presence of the worm in his Inner World caused him to tremble.

Before he could think further, the monstrous worm opened its mouth and started spitting out countless small worms. Each worm made unique screeching noise and rained down from the sky.

He watched the eerie scene from the fire palace, which he had created in the middle of seven types of fire lands, and took a deep breath.

"Oh? Is this your Inner World? Looks good." A familiar female voice came from above.

Soon, Violet's original consciousness appeared above the sky and slowly descended toward the land.

At that moment, Charles noticed that the small worms had already started eating his memory clouds and quietly raised his hand.

"You should've known why 'purple fire' is called the 'Nemesis of the Inner World.'" Just as he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it.

A moment later, tens of thousands of [Knowledge Seeker] and millions of [Fire seed] spells appeared before him and flew toward the sky at an incredible speed.

Simultaneously, Violet noticed more than five of [Purple Consciousnesses] appeared in her Inner World and started burning her memories!

Upon seeing such a drastic change, her expression turned solemn.

But she didn't panic at all.

She quietly looked down at the land that almost looked like a fire-elemental plane and cast her next spell.

"Dark Shield."

As she spoke, an eerie black layer appeared around all the worms, her original consciousness, and even her soul, and started blocking his [Purple Fire] like nothing!

What shocked Charles was that he noticed that even his five purple consciousnesses had disappeared from her Inner World in an instant.

"See? My spell might not be powerful enough to block your Legend Rank spell, but it's enough to erase your low-rank spells."

'Tsk! I have no choice but to see if that spell works.' He muttered while looking at Violet's original consciousness and cast his next spell.

'Curse of the Overlord.'

The next instant, a black pillar of fire came from one of his spell models, passed through the [Dark Shield] spell, and directly stuck Violet's original consciousness.

But unlike before, Charles saw more than thousands of eerie dark fire lines coiled around her consciousnesses, which seemed to be altering her thoughts.

Although she tried to resist, the 'Hell Fire' did its job perfectly and completely enslaved her original consciousness!

As all those dark fire lines assimilated into her consciousness, Violet stopped resisting and looked puzzled.

After being slightly confused, she looked at her illusionary consciousness and sharply shifted her gaze toward Charles.

"What did you do?" She asked in a cold tone.

Meanwhile, Charles curled his lips upward and mocked.

"Surrender or die."

"You are too naive-" As she was about to attack him, an invisible force came from the deepest part of her mind and stopped her.

'Something's wrong. Why am I hesitating to attack? No, why am I feeling affection towards him?' Her eyes grew warier.

Before she could understand the situation, Charles sent out another order.

"Remove your 'Dark Shield' spell."

"Why do I have to listen to you-?" She had already removed the 'Dark Shield' spell without knowing her!

"What the f*ck? What did you do?!" Her face distorted as she screamed at him.

In the meantime, Charles snorted coldly and sent out another order.

"Out. Get out of my Inner World."

She instantly closed her eyes and withdrew her consciousness from her Inner World as if she had heard a divine order.

A moment later, Charles opened his eyes to the Physical World and calmly looked at the dumbfounded Violet.

After a short silence, she quietly returned to her seat and fell on the couch like her whole life was destroyed.

"I-Is that a consciousness corruption spell?" She asked with a stiff tone.

On the other hand, Charles looked surprised as he realized she still hadn't submitted and asked.

"How come you are still resisting my spell?"

Instead of responding, she showed a pained expression and asked with a stiff smile.

"If you have this spell, you should've tried it on Brooks, right? But he didn't submit but chose to self-destruct himself, am I right?"

Without waiting for him to nod, she raised both hands and continued.

"I'm not going to resist you. As long as you promise me to remove this spell completely and not ask for core secrets of Destiny Conquerors, I'll be willing to cooperate with you."

The corner of his lips twitched as he heard such a demand.

"Are you in a position to make demands?" He couldn't help but ask coldly.

Meanwhile, the sorrowful expression disappeared and was replaced with a crazy smile.

"You think I'm that dumb not to make any preparations? I have 1 million lives in my hand. As long as I have the slightest will to resist your enslaving spell, I'll detonate my original consciousness and take all the lives with me." She paused for a moment and added.

"But if someone did some truth divination, they will learn that the cause of 1 million deaths will be because of you and hunt you. And if this news got out, I don't think all the thirteen lawful churches would stay still."

A silence descended in the main hall.

After a short silence, Charles heaved a deep sigh and nodded.

"It seems I have no choice then." Saying so, he calmly raised his hand and cast the [Finger of Destruction] and [Burning Thoughts] spells on her.

Violet's eyes widened his shock and horror as the ray of fire appeared before her forehead and entered inside while burning everything.

Her head burned fiercely and exploded a moment later while splattering blood everywhere.

But the ring in her hand suddenly shone in golden light and regrew her head back in a blink. At the same time, Violet managed to regain her sense and looked at him angrily.

"You planned to kill me earlier even though I tried my best to cooperate with you! Haa, forget it." She took a deep breath and muttered.

"I always wanted the whole World to celebrate me one day. But it seems my time has come already."

As she spoke, her face, hands, head, body, and legs enlarged like a balloon and soon exploded, sending scarlet blood and flesh everywhere.

Charles even saw her original consciousness break down into countless golden particles and disappear slowly.

[0.2 Wisdom Points have been extracted!]

But before disappearing completely, she looked at him with the same twisted smile and added.

'You want to know if I added Hanna's brain to make the Angel Wine? Hahaha. Live in suspense.'

Meanwhile, Charles gave her disappearing consciousness a piercing glare and instantly scanned the surroundings.

But even after a few seconds had passed, not even a single person died within the Miracle City, causing him to furrow.

"I thought she would go crazy and kill one million people without a single thought. But it seems she was indeed a kind soul." Alas, not a shred of guilty feeling appeared in his mind.

"It seems all these destiny conquerors are scary in their way. If I didn't have the [Curse of the Overlord] spell, I would've long enslaved by her." He muttered solemnly and stood up from the sofa.

Then, he went to the kitchen and checked for any sign of murder.

After confirming nothing inside, he quietly left the house and roamed while waiting for Jessie to send information about the next target.

Around 11.24 A.M., Charles suddenly received his next target's information and halted his footsteps.n(0)vel(b)(j)(n) was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B(j)n.

'My next target's name is Gabriel, and he is also a fire mage. But unlike me, he specializes in Soul Fire and casts different types of soul fire to battle. Although his spells are unknown, rumors say he has a unique ability to transfer his soul from body to body and is almost unkillable. As usual, he is staying in Mary's Milk Bar and is in a fully drunken state. Jessie believes that he is easy prey right now.'

After reading the information, Charles felt something was wrong.

'Hmm, I saw Mateo escaped an hour ago and thought everyone from the Destiny Conquerors might go on an alert mode. But it seems he didn't say a word about the assassination attempt. Could it be because of Hayley's blood spell? Did she enslave him?' He pondered momentarily and soon decided to go to Mary's Milk Bar.
