Fire Mage

Chapter 199: Spirit Hex

'Hurry up. We don't have much time.' Jessie's second consciousness said.

'Yes.'

When Jessie was about to stand up, she suddenly noticed some red stone on Damian's chest and became stunned.

She hurriedly picked up the reddish gem and soon widened her eyes.

"It's a Class Gem!" A shocked expression appeared on her face.

'H-How?'

She had heard of these types of miracle phenomena but never believed it.

'So, one can really obtain a Class-Gem though killing? No, it's not a miracle… I might have met some requirements and obtained this Class Gem…'

'Although Teacher said that he would get me a unique Class-Gem, I can't delay any longer. Moreover, I need to hurry up and save others.' She took out a leather pouch from her void pouch, cleaned the red gem with pure water, and directly swallowed it.

An electric shock went through her own body a moment later, and soon pieces of information about the new red Class-Gem appeared in her mind.

'Blood Manipulator Class Gem… Blood Shackle… Blood Curse… Blood Manipulation…'

She muttered inwardly, placed her hand on Damian's chest, and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Blood Manipulation."

The next instant, red droplets appeared out of his chest one by one and soon formed into a fist-sized reddish ball.

"This looks so evil… Evil Class?" She couldn't help but show a terrified look on her face.

'Nothing is evil. As long as we refrain from hurting innocent people, we are not evil.' Her second consciousness responded instantly.

When comparing to her original consciousness, her second consciousness appeared very calm.

One of the main reasons was that her second consciousness saw everything from the third person's perspective and didn't get affected by any guilty emotions!

Jessie froze for a moment before nodding her head, controlled the blood, and made it into a shape of a sharp knife.

'As long as this blood knife is within a 20-meter radius, I can control it and move it with simple thoughts.' She stood up in anxiety and started running towards Nobles' District.

…

Down Street, Merchants District.

Currently, a total of 24 white-masked figures in different outfits stood on the wide street road and was staring at a line of reddish fire that appeared on the road.

On the other side, a white-haired old man in a black suit stood on the dirt path and looked at three Rank-4 enemies, who were flying towards his direction from the opposite street.

'Mr. Runeth, enchant my luck to the maximum. It will increase my survival chance.' Charles muttered with a grim look on his face.

'Are you sure? The unluckiness effect might get severe, lad. Even the Legend Eddie Nightwind died because of a severe unluckiness.'

The Holem's Crown warned him.

'Do it. As long as I use the Book of Secrets, I can perceive the dangers and made preparations in advance.' He muttered inwardly and plucked blackish feathers from his [Fallen Angel's Wings] spell.

On the other hand, the Holem's Crown stole his next two months' luck and started the enchantment.

By the time the artifact finished its job, Charles had plucked a total of 20 black feathers and dismissed the wing spell.

At that moment, the three Rank-4 Mystics landed in front of the 24 member assassin group and turned their gazes towards Charles.

They were Vivian, Eric, and the black-robed man.

Charles instantly zeroed his gaze on the white-haired old man named Eric and cast [Fire Seed] spell.

'Oh? He hadn't entered the Inner World? Yes, his other Class [Whisper of the Sea] is only Rank-3…' Charles nodded inwardly and started gathering more information.

'Black-robed man's name is Theo, and he is a member of Divine Order, while Eric and Vivian are not! They only had some connection with the Divine Order organization. So, they are outsiders?'

'This Divine Order organization might not be a simple one. 24 Rank-3 [Phantom Stringer] Class Mystics… 3 Rank-4 Mystics with different Class… Even if I go all out, I would be troubled battling against these many people…' At that moment, another type of information appeared in his mind.

'Hmm? They also seemed to have prepared a curse card spell called 'Spirit Hex' to injure my soul and this card is currently with Vivian… Let's see I can sow malice seeds in their minds.' While thinking, he curled his lips upward, zeroed his gaze on Vivian, and said with a smile.

"You have done a good job luring them here, Vivian."

Upon hearing his words, the old man named Eric and the black-robed Theo suddenly took side steps and distanced themselves from her!

It was their instinct response!

In truth, Theo was the only core member of the Divine Order organization.

On the other hand, Vivian and Eric belong to another powerful organization and rarely work with Divine Order.

They were more like part-time allies!

As long as the Divine Order organization pays them a good reward, they would do any work.

But they would never place their lives on the line to complete the job.

In the meantime, Vivian's face turned icy cold as she took a step forward and asked.

"How did you know my name?"

On the other hand, Charles took a step back and shook his head.

"There is no need for you to act. You already told me about the 'Spirit Hex' curse-"

Before he could finish his words, all three of their eyes went wide!

"H-How did you know about 'Spirit Hex'?" Vivian wore a confused look on her face.

Among the three, only the white-haired old man named Eric knew about this secret and felt suspicious.

She instantly gave a wary look at the white-haired old man and got ready for any unexpected attacks.

On the other hand, Eric and Theo also looked at Vivian and showed wary looks.

Using the opportunity, Charles cast [Fire Seed] on Vivian and probed her Inner World.

In her cloudy Inner World, a reddish seed appeared in the sea of purplish clouds and began to burn a nearby cloud.

At that moment, Vivian's incarnation also noticed an anomaly in her Inner World, teleported in front of it, and directly squashed the [Fire Seed] spell.

She had already entered her Inner World!

As her incarnation was about to warn her original consciousness, another ray of fire appeared beside it and targeted her important memory.

Before the incarnation could even act, that ray of fire directly burned a unique white cloud and disappeared from there!

Simultaneously, Vivian felt a slight pain in her mind and noticed that she had forgotten something important!

Meanwhile, a list of information appeared in Charles's mind.

'Spirit Hex spell card… A rare soul curse spell card created by a Destiny Conqueror member named Reid… To place this curse on the opponent, one needs to be within 20 meters of range and also have to recite a unique chant to activate… This is a one-time spell card and the chanting recites are… When the ice melts, a Destiny string would break… Our Lady would reappear, in the form of a mortal… She will reform the melted ice, save the Destiny…'

'Oh? It seems the Destiny Conqueror organization really has some ties with Divine Order…' He curled his lips upward and smiled at Vivian.

At that moment, Vivian wore a shocked look and warned everyone.

"Be careful! He can steal our important memories."

Her words caused Eric's and Theo's bodies to tense up.
