Chapter 572 Wizard's Cube

Chapter 572: Wizard's Cube

"Watch where you are going, a$shole!" Amir cursed at Charles loudly and tried to push him away.

Meanwhile, Charles couldn't balance at that moment due to the sudden push and fell backward.

[Twelve more seconds before the array goes disable mode. Ten... Nine... Eight...]

As Genesis spoke in his mind, he slowly grabbed the nearby table and managed to push him forward using his wisdom power.

At that moment, Amir's expression froze.

Although he was only a Rank-3 Mystic, he knew much more about this invisible force and instantly realized that he had messed up.

'F*ck! He is a strong mage!'

"You are asking for it!" Charles turned his face icy cold and spoke.

Alas, Amir wasn't threatened by his words and only stepped back.

"Even if you are a Rank-5 Mystic, so what? You can't attack me in this city-" Before he could finish his sentence, the whole reception hall started to turn red and was completely enveloped in reddish flame!

Simultaneously, the time around them moved ten times slower than before.

Tables, chairs, and even the people who remained in the bar noticed their bodies were bathed in red flame and couldn't even think faster.

'No.....!.... My.... th...ou..gh...ts... a...re....'

At that moment, Amir noticed that the blue-haired man moved incredibly quickly, slapped him on his cheek, and completely knocked him unconscious.

In truth, Charles's mere slap broke his neck and made him fly in the air.

It all happened within a second!

While Amir's body was lifting in the air, Charles turned his gaze towards the grey-haired man and cast multiple skills like [Accelerate Thoughts], [Eye of the Runes], [Burning Thoughts], [Purple Consciousness], and [Curse of the Overlord] skills on him.

At the same time, his left eye also activated on its own and showed Mateo's-

No! Some invisible power came out of his necklace and completely nullified his [Eye of the Runes] and [Eye of the Faceless] skills!

'Genesis, find out what happened?' Charles didn't delay for a single moment and ordered.

To his surprise, Genesis seemed to have predicted this and had already shown him a lot of notifications.

[Enemy's intellectual artifact sensed the danger through the unique legendary wisdom skill 'See Through' and cast another Legendary Skill called 'Invisible Guy,' Host.]

[Invisible Guy: It's a unique legendary spell that will allow the user to deflect any probing spell and help him disappear from reality for a limited time. Although he will remain in the physical World, the others will ignore him entirely and sometimes even forget about him as if he had never existed. Duration: 5 minutes. (1/Day)]

[See Through (Passive Wisdom Skill): It can see through any disguise or danger.]

But that was just the beginning.

Suddenly, darkness descended on the grand reception hall and blinded everyone's vision.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! Mateo has managed to nullify the [Burning Thoughts] spell using his second Consciousness and cast [Darkness Domain] spell.]

A moment later, Charles stood before a barren land filled with strange fire everywhere.

Even though Charles could feel that his [Rebirth Domain] spell was still active, he noticed that the dark power was slowly corrupting it.

He sensed a strange premonition at that moment and soon saw all his twenty future visions go blank.

'No good!' He instantly looked at his wrist and shouted.

'Julius! Take over my body.' While muttering, he entered his Inner World and waited.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! Wisdom Cube seemed to have perceived you as a highly dangerous opponent and cast the 'Eternal Sense Curse' skill]

[Eternal Sense Curse: Upon casting, the opponent will lose his sight (Vision), smell (Olfaction), hearing (Audition), sense of touch, taste (Gustation), Proprioception or Spirit suppression (Being able to sense position and movement of the surroundings without relying on vision), and even vestibular sense (responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation).]

While Charles quietly looked at the description in Inner World, his incarnation went utterly blind and stood there without any idea what had happened.

It only lasted a second before Charles retook control of his body and opened his eyes.

Although the surroundings appeared darker and no sign of the Enemy appeared before his eyes, Charles knew that the opponent was still...

'Opponent? Who is my opponent?' A strange thought entered his mind. Simultaneously, he sensed his [Purple Consciousness] inside the opponent's soul also vanished.

[Warning! Warning! Warning!....]

[Host's mind is manipulated by one of the Wizard's Cube's abilities!]

'It's the Invisible Guy skill! No good! All my memories about my opponent suddenly vanished!'

[I have a suggestion, Host! Even though Wizard's Cube sensed the danger and protected its master, its master is still under your Rebirth Domain spell effect. If I'm not wrong, he doesn't have-] Before Genesis could finish her sentence, a strange, chilling sensation spread everywhere from somewhere and started freezing the surroundings.

[Warning! Warning! The Enemy has cast the [Absolute Zero] spell on himself and nullified your [Rebirth Domain] spell effect! He won't be affected by the present-time related spell!]

[Absolute Zero: This spell can freeze everything around the user for 5 seconds, creating a unique time freeze zone around his body. Using this spell, he can move without restraint in the 'Time Stop' effect.]

But Charles didn't even look at the description and curled his lips upward as he saw a human shadow standing only a few feet away.

Due to his [Absolute Zero] spell effect, the opponent's location was exposed to Charles.

Without waiting, Charles cast [Burning Thoughts] and [Consciousness] spells on Mateo again.

Simultaneously, he took the Blackened Heart sword from his space ring and pierced it toward Mateo's head.

But just as his sword tip reached his head, the Wizard's Cube in his neck made a bluish light and cast another spell.

Simultaneously, Mateo's hand suddenly extended forward at an incredible speed and touched his chest.

[Warning! Warning! Warning!-]

Before Genesis could warn him, a strange force entered his body, soul, and even his Consciousness and started destroying it.

'SH*T-' That was the last thought in Charles's mind as his existence became dim!

The first thing to disappear was his body, Consciousness, and soul.

No, a single strand of his soul remained floating in the astral realm and seemed to have formed a connection with the Physical World at that moment.

Even more shocking was that this battle lasted only around 20 seconds!

Meanwhile, Mateo noticed that the Enemy's strange mind spell had disappeared in his Inner World and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who the hell was that? How did he manage to attack me without facing any retaliation from the Defensive Mechanism Array?" He asked in a shocked tone and quietly waved his hand.

A moment later, he returned to the bar and noticed that the strange flame hadn't disappeared.

Alas, Amir, the other customers, and the bar waitresses had long incinerated and died!

'Get away from this city, Mateo. It's not safe here.' A female voice echoed in his head.

It was none other than Wizard's Cube!

"Yes!" Mateo nodded his head and hurriedly walked towards the exit. In truth, he had long sensed someone manipulated his butler to lure him here and thought it might be one of the Divine Conquerors like himself.

But the sudden assassination attempt completely caught him off guard. If his Wizard's Cube hadn't sensed the danger and acted in time, he would've long died!

He quietly left the bar while using the [Shadow Walk] movement spell constantly and entered the Bronze Lane in mere ten seconds.

At that moment, he also realized that he had already left the range of Charles's Rebirth Domain spell and breathed a sigh of relief.

"30 more seconds." A cold yet feminine voice came out of nowhere and echoed deep in his Inner World.

He soon saw a young woman in her twenties standing under a peach tree shadow and looking at him with a smirk. She had beautiful jade eyes, plump red lips, long auburn hair, fair skin, and a pretty round face. At that moment, she wore a red skirt suit with a classic and elegant look, a white scarf, and looked more like a model in the air hostess dress.

Before Mateo could ask a question, she calmly waved her hand.

A moment later, every drop of his blood suddenly stopped moving inside his body and caused him to fall to his knees.

"WHO ARE YOU?" He barely kept his Consciousness as sharp pain assaulted all over his body and asked hoarsely.

At the same time, the Wizard's Cube reacted due to the sudden danger and cast a new legendary spell called [Nightmare Loop] on the young woman!

In the meantime, the young woman's jade eyes turned golden color and completely resisted the legendary spell like nothing!

"Unfortunately, illusion or dream-type spells won't work on me, Cube. Or, should I call you Myxenta's child?" Before the Wizard's Cube could activate its unique ability, the young woman curled her lips upward, touched the bracelet in her left hand, and uttered.

"Destiny Swift."

A moment later, the necklace on Mateo's neck turned illusionary, disappeared from there, and reappeared in the young woman's hand.

Although the Cube tried its best to fly away, the auburn-haired young woman gripped the artifact tightly and started walking toward the fallen Mateo.

"I've been waiting for more than seven millennia to get my hands on you, Myxenta's child." As she spoke, she approached Mateo and gave him a cold look.
