Fire Mage

Chapter 202: Waiting

'With my current Exp points, I can level up my sub-class thrice and increase my body strength to an Extraordinary Level. Maybe I can use that opportunity and catch them off guard.' Charles thought for a moment and poured 208,006 Exp points into the sub-class tab.

…

[43,971 Exp points have been deduced!]

[You are now a Level-2 Shape-shifter!]

[1 Free Attribute points rewarded!]

[20 skill points rewarded!]

…

[65,686 Exp points have been deduced!]

[You are now a Level-3 Shape-shifter!]

[1 Free Attribute points rewarded!]

[20 skill points rewarded!]

…

[98,527 Exp points have been deduced!]

[You are now a Level-4 Shape-shifter!]

[1 Free Attribute points rewarded!]

[20 skill points rewarded!]

…

'I finally have 4 free attribute points.' He thought to himself and directly put 2 points to the Strength attribute and another 2 points to the Constitution attribute.

The next instant, a mystical power entered every part of his body and strengthened it.

At that moment, Charles suddenly felt that his body strength suddenly raised two folds and reached an abnormal level!

Vivian and 'Eric' also noticed something odd was happening inside his body and frowned.

But before they could initiate an attack, Charles returned to his usual self and stood there in silence while observing Jessie and other kids' movements through his wisdom power.

'I need to think of a plan and catch them off guard. Haa, all I can do now is wait and attack when the opportunity arises.' He thought.

Like a peace treaty, both sides stood in silence and observed each other.

…

Meanwhile, Jessie controlled her inner emotions and ran towards the Nobles' District while listening to her second consciousness's description about the [Blood Shackle] skill and [Blood Curse] skill.

'With the [Blood Shackle] skill, you can stop the enemy body's blood circulation for more than 15 seconds… Isn't this skill more like an artificial heart attack? But the range is too small… To activate this skill, the enemy must be within a 3-meter radius and it can even work on Rank-2 Mystics. Only those who strengthened their body to Expert Level could escape with mild heart attack…'

As Jessie heard those words, her mind went black for a moment.

Before she could say something, her second consciousness started reading the [Blood Curse] skill description.

'To use this skill, you need a drop of your opponent's blood. Once you get your hands on it, you can use this Blood Curse skill on the blood droplet and make him your servant. He will enter into a long-term bewitchment state and would feel comfortable when talking to you…'

'If you interact with the opponent for a long time, he might turn into a slave. The main disadvantage is you can use this spell only on same Rank people… What the hell is this skill?' Even her second consciousness got stupefied.

At that moment, Jessie noticed that she had already entered the Nobles' District and moved to Rodsley Street through another shortcut route.

In two minutes, she reached the street and sprinted towards their mansion.

Within a minute, she appeared near the three-storied mansion and soon breathed out a sigh of relief as she saw only seventeen masked figures were battling against the elite guards of the Elliott Mage family and her friends.

Currently, Rhea used her Ice spells and was facing off against three masked figures.

Meanwhile, Noel and Titus stood beside her and appeared to be exhausted.

Jessie even saw a few bruises appeared on their hands and faces and heaved a heavy sigh.

'There Is no Rank-3 Mystics… It means the Teacher must be holding them back now. You need to hurry up and let them to Teacher's room.' Her second consciousness warned in her mind.

Although Jessie was puzzled a little, she chose to trust her second consciousness's words and nodded her head.

She then opened the compound gate and started running towards Rhea and others.

She saw a few heavily injured kids to her right side and noticed that they were currently wailing in pain.

Anger appeared on her face.

At that moment, two masked men also noticed her arrival and moved towards her at a fast speed.

Just as they were about to arrive near her, they suddenly felt dizzy and got shocked.

The blood circulation towards their brain stopped!

They tried their best to focus but felt something was affecting their concentration.

In the next few seconds, they dropped their weapons before losing their footings and landed pathetically on the greenish yard.

They soon went unconscious!

Simultaneously, Jessie steeled her heart, controlled the blood knife, and slashed at their feet.

Multiple slashes appeared in seconds and completely severed the tendons!

Not only the elite guards but even Rhea, Titus, and Noel, were also got shocked.

She defeated two Rank-2 Mystics in a few seconds!

Although Rhea and others had enough strength to defeat these masked guys, they didn't dare to attack recklessly in fear of killing them.

They were holding back!

As Jessie walked forward, they noticed a change in her eye color and felt amiss.

On the other hand, Jessie focused her gaze on other masked men and rushed towards them.

Whenever she appeared closer towards them, they would clutch their heads in the next few seconds and fell!

Using such an opportunity, the elite guards made a swift decision and knocked them out one by one.

Upon noticing the abrupt change, almost all the remaining masked men made a swift decision and chose to give up on this mission.

In truth, the ones who appeared here were not true Divine Order members but part-time workers.

Most of them were thieves, rowdy gang members, and some corrupted soldiers.

If not for the urgent order from a higher-up, the organization wouldn't have made such a reckless decision to send out to their deaths!

When the masked men saw the situation turned unfavorable, they didn't hesitate and chose to back away.

Meanwhile, Jessie breathed out a sigh of relief and turned her gaze towards the guards.

"Take the injured kids to Day and Night Church and ask Bishop Myles to heal them. As long as you mention Rhea's name, he will do it willingly."

Saying so, she turned her gaze towards Rhea and others and added.

"Follow me."

In the meantime, Rhea and others glanced at each other and nodded their heads.

Although they felt somewhat different about Jessie, they didn't put much thought into it and followed after her.

'My Fate Intuition skill also is telling me to get away from here. If we stay here any longer, we might face some serious problem.' Rhea's heart began to beat faster.

After she became an Astrologer, she could indeed sense the impending danger and felt anxious inside.

Under Jessie's lead, they soon ran towards the mansion building entrance and saw Ashley was standing there with a worried expression on her face.

Once she saw Rhea's arrival, she hurriedly walked near her, gave a white towel to remove the dust on her head, and spoke in an anxious tone.

"Your Highness, please go and hide in the underground basement for a while. As long as Mage Oswald returns, you will be safer."

On the other hand, Jessie continued to walk, entered the main hall, and spoke while shaking her head.

"Miss. Ashley, please take the servants and find a better place to hide for some time. We will be staying in our Teacher's room for a while."

Saying so, she walked past the sofas and soon started climbing on the bifurcated stairs.

"O-Okay." With a puzzled look, Ashley nodded her head and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.

On the other hand, Titus frowned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"What happened to your eyes, sis? Moreover, why did the masked men fell unconscious whenever you appear near them?"

Jessie paused for a moment, glanced at him, and said.

"Teacher is holding off the enemies now. Don't ask stupid questions and follow me."

Her tone was like a sharp needle.
