Chapter 128: Probing

Lydia's face turned colder as she took a step forward and disappeared from there.

The next instant, she appeared in front of Charles and was about to cast her spell but stopped.

At that crucial moment, she suddenly forgot which spell to use!

On the other hand, a smile appeared on Charles's face.

Instantly, he took a step forward, gripped her neck, and slammed her head on the nearby debris.

If it were before, she would have resisted at a faster pace. But when Charles killed her earlier using the Ember Pistol, she also received a huge backlash. Moreover, the wound on her back also started to act and started restricting her movement and thinking.

Before Lydia could wake up from the sudden daze, Charles first cast Fire Seed spell on her to probe further.

At that moment, he sensed another foreign energy was trying to suppress his Fire Seed spell from her Inner World!

'As I thought, she is also affected by the Red Prince's purple fire. If I'm not wrong, this must be some kind of precaution spell to block others from learning information from her.'

'Humph, but can this flame do two works at the same time?' He coldly snorted as he cast Burning Thoughts spell on Lydia at the same time and asked.

"What is Red Prince's real identity?

"

At that moment, a piece of information about Red Prince appeared in his mind.

'Oh? He is actually a top member of a mysterious powerful organization and is backed by Lawful Church members, huh.' A frown appeared on his oval face.

'It seems this Red Prince is also planning something big.'

Shaking his head, Charles then cast the Burning Thoughts spell once again and asked another question.

"What is his relationship with the devils?

"

A moment later, another piece of information appeared in his mind.

'Hmm? He is a former devil and knew much information about the Hell Plane. Other than this, she is also clueless about his origin, huh.' Charles nodded his head in understanding and soon asked another question while casting the mind spell.

"What is the name of this Mysterious Organization?

"

'Edhen's Children?' Confusion appeared on his face.

'Why would a devil get interested in joining an organization that seems to have a connection with this world? Hmm, Edhen's Children organization's name really appears more like a Lawful one.' He thought for a moment and soon asked another question.

"Who is the leader of this Edhen's Children Organization?

"

'Hmm? She knew nothing much about that organization, or about its location, huh.' He nodded his head and soon frowned as he sensed that the mysterious purple flame was starting to break his Fire Seed spell in her Inner World!

Charles instantly cast another Burning Thoughts spell and asked.

"What is Red Prince's true goal?

"

As Charles asked that question, he threw her on the broken debris and backed away at a fast speed.

Simultaneously, he received another piece of information in his mind.

'His goal is to help the organization to complete the Project Destiny and snatch the-?'

Before Charles could obtain the valuable information, the mysterious purple flame finally broke his Fire Seed spell and interrupted his Burning Thoughts spell!

Simultaneously, Charles saw that Lydia's whole body suddenly started to burn in a purplish flame!

Within seconds, the fire got fiercer and finally completely burned the whole body, leaving nothing behind!

'From the looks of it, this purple flame also has some relation with the mind fire. But when comparing with my own mind spell, this one is very destructive and powerful.' Charles nodded his head with a thoughtful look on his face and soon went near Robert's headless corpse.

Then, he picked up his space ring from his hand, erased the broken soul mark, and replaced it with his own.

Following that, he conjured a ball of flame and burned the corpse and other blood marks.

At that moment, the space-lock spell also broken down completely, and soon the surroundings citizens, Royal Guards, and even mages started to come towards the broken house from all directions!

A second later, a mischievous smile crept on Charles's face as he touched his face and started changing his face into Professor Robert's one!

Due to the less light from the nearby street lamps, he got an opportunity and hurriedly changed his look.

'Next is the acting part.' He muttered inwardly, took out a small red capsule from his space ring, and placed it in the corner of his mouth. Then, he adjusted his dress and appeared more like an injured man.

By the time the Royal Guards and Mages appeared in front of the broken house, he completely turned into a new person and stared at the sky with a vacant expression on his face.

"Professor Robert, are you alright?

" A tall, muscular guard in silver armor asked in a shocked tone as he glanced at the surrounding debris.

His silver hair flow like a waterfall and almost reached his shoulders and looked beautiful even in the dim street lights. His face was as rough, and he had sharp yellow eyes. He stood in front of the group of guards and appeared domineering.

"Guardian's Light.

" He then said in a cold tone. Soon, a cloud of yellow light appeared from his palm and flew towards the sky.

After that, the cloud started to expand and illuminated the whole area in yellowish sunlight!

The next instant, everyone became serious as they saw the destruction of the house and soon turned their gaze towards the lone figure.

The silver-armor guard could tell that the enemy was a formidable one with a simple look and became pensive.

Although he was a Rank-3 Guardian class Mystic, he knew that even he wouldn't hold off for more than 10 seconds against this type of enemy.

"Are you alright, Professor Robert?

" Upon getting no response from the other party, he got worried inside and asked again in a concerned tone.

At that moment, Charles nodded his head, turned around, and showed his face to the surrounding people.

They saw anger, helplessness, and disappointment on the black-suited man's face. Without minding their gazes, Charles glanced at the surrounding area and asked in concern.

"Is everyone alright? Did this unnecessary fight cause any damage to the neighbors?

"

Upon hearing his concerning voice, all the citizens, mages, and even Guards got moved.

"Nobody got injured in this fight, Professor.

" The silver-armored guard answered and soon asked.

"If you don't mind, can you please tell us who the culprit behind this incident is?

"

Upon hearing the question, a weak smile appeared on Charles's rough face as he waved his hand and said.

"Don't worry about the culprit. I already killed him.

" He paused for a moment and added while coughing.

"'Cough' he seems to be after my teacher's inheritance. Thankfully, I found out his scheme while we were talking and managed to kill him after a short battle.

"

At that moment, a trail of blood appeared from the corner of his mouth.

Soon, Charles placed his hand over his chest, coughed violently, and started to vomit a mouthful of blood!

Upon seeing this, the silver-armored guard and others became anxious and hurriedly helped him.

On the other hand, Charles took a napkin from his space ring, wiped the blood on his mouth, and started to speak while moving towards the street road.

"Take care of this matter and report this matter to the security department. Meanwhile, I will go to my other house in Second Street and heal my internal injuries. I will pay a visit to the Security Department tomorrow evening and explain the situation in more detail.

"

Saying so, Charles excluded the crowd, appeared in Hope Street, and soon went in the Second Street direction.
