Chapter 129: Red Prince

The Herath Kingdom,

In the unknown forest region.

Two figures hovered in the sky and were staring at each other with cold looks on their faces.

One was a long, wavy blonde-haired old man in his late forties, while the other was a black-haired woman.

The blonde-haired man's hair appeared messier, and the two bat-like wings on his back were covered with wounds and dusk. He wore a blue robe, a long green pendant around his neck, and two platinum earrings.

On the other hand, the black-haired woman appeared normal, wore a black robe, and her whole body was covered with lightning arcs. She had silvery eyes, average height, and a few wrinkles on her round face.

"You are nowhere to go, hideous Devil. Surrender now!

" She spoke in a sharp tone.

At the exact moment, a golden light came from their left side at a fast speed like a shooting star.

Upon seeing this, the blonde-haired man's pupil contracted!

In two seconds, the golden light appeared in front of them and turned into a white-haired old man with golden wings on his back. He had amber eyes, thin eyebrows, and a wrinkled oval face, and he wore a slight long blue surcoat.

"Oswald Raven.

" The blonde-haired man's face turned gloomy. He saw pure hatred in the old man's eyes and sighed deeply.

In the meantime, Oswald took a deep look at Rachel, nodded his head, and then locked his gaze on the bat-winged blonde-haired man.

"Do you have any last words, Red Prince?

" He asked in a cold tone.

Almost at the same time, Red Prince suddenly felt that his connection with Lydia got severed and became stunned.

Although he suspected that Charles might have gone to Chester City, he wasn't entirely sure of his whereabouts at all.

'But Lydia's earlier report and her sudden death indicate that the possibility of Charles hiding in the city is high. There is also another possibility. Did she get caught by the Tower Mages? No, I only gave an order to find whether that professor was a real one or fake. Moreover, I have no idea about Charles's other class. Could it be he really has an ability similar to shape-shifters?' A grim look appeared on his face.

The reason Red Prince sent his subordinates alone to different cities was also a part of his plan to lure Charles and the Holem's Crown out from the shadows.

He instantly closed his left oceanic eye and checked the unique purple marks in the depths of his mind.

A second later, he opened his left eye and muttered in a grave tone.

"She really is dead.

"

Once he confirmed that Lydia was dead, he let out a heavy sigh and shook his head.

A second later, he waved his hand, and soon his figure turned blurry all of a sudden!

"He is trying to escape,

" Rachel shouted as she raised her hand, conjured a lightning sword, and dashed towards him like a bullet!

Oswald Raven also pointed his finger at Red Prince and cast a Wind Blade spell.

But a moment later, both of them squinted their eyes in shock as they saw another person replaced Red Prince's position!

The one who replaced Red Prince's place was a fifteen-year-old girl in a blue-colored gown.

Before the girl could understand the situation, Rachel's sharp lightning sword and Oswald's Wind Blade spell appeared in front of her body.

"Oh, no!

" Both cried out in shock and tried their best to halt their actions, but it was too late.

In a blink, the lightning sword pierced through the blonde-haired girl's chest while the Wind Blade spell decapitated her head from her body!

A moment later, blood sprayed from the sliced neck, and soon the body fell.

Upon seeing the falling headless corpse, both of their faces turned unsightly.

Soon, they shook their heads and went towards the direction where Herath Kingdom's capital city was located.

…

At the exact moment, Red Prince suddenly appeared in the outskirts of the Arc Kingdom's Royal City and stood on the grassy plain with a solemn look on his face.

He then took out the ancient-looking book from his space ring, flipped the pages, and soon began to make a deduction using the strings of Fate.

Two minutes later, he closed the book and nodded his head in understanding.

"Hmm, this is not a trap set up by the Destiny Lady. From the gathered information, the probability of Charles hiding in Chester City is increased to more than 70 percent.

" A cold light appeared in his eyes.

"I finally found you, Charles.

" He curled his lips upward and then stored the mysterious ancient-looking black covered book in his space ring.

"I need to finish him faster. Otherwise, the Holem's Crown might create some ancient formation to trap me.

"

Letting out a deep sigh, Red Prince opened his batwings wider and shot up towards the dark sky like a bullet.

He then made a circle in the sky and flew towards the Moon Kingdom at a fast speed.

He only stopped two times along the way to take some rest and soon saw Chester City around 6 A.M.

He silently landed on the outskirt of Chester City and went to the entrance gate. If it were any other city, he would have directly used his Fate Shift skill and entered inside stealthily.

But he didn't dare to take risks.

He waited in the queue for half an hour before entering the city. Then, he started gathering information from others and began to walk towards Hope Street.

By the time he found Professor Robert's broken building, it was already 8.00 A.M!

He stared at the debris with a solemn look for a moment and soon furrowed his brows.

'Hmm? Why do I sense Death energy in the surroundings?' He asked himself in confusion and turned his gaze towards the two silver armored guards, who stood in front of the broken house.

He first went near them and asked in a confused tone.

"What happened here?

"

In the meantime, one of the silver armored guards gave him a suspicious look and then spoke in a solemn tone.

"Yesterday night, a reckless roaming mage tried to kill Professor Robert to snatch his teacher's inheritance, but ended up dead.

"

Upon hearing those words, Red Prince's oceanic eyes shined.

"Can I take a look at the battlefield?

" He asked.

Although those two guards felt confused by his request, they didn't put much thought and let him in.

On the other hand, Red Prince walked past those guards, stepped on the broken compound wall, tree stems, and lamp posts, and soon arrived at the grassy yard.

He touched the left side platinum earring and muttered under his breath.

'Reveal.'

A moment later, the surroundings started to freeze up, broke into millions of pieces, and revealed another scene. In a second, Red Prince found himself standing in the dark, gloomy yard.

He soon saw a blonde-haired man in his late twenties opened the compound gate, used Blink spell, and appeared in front of the wooden gate.

"Lydia.

" Red Prince instantly identified her.

Within seconds, he also saw the deep-blue hared man in his late forties and squinted his eyes.

"He is not Charles.

"

He followed after Lydia in confusion, walked into the reception hall, and patiently listened to their conversation.

But as Lydia took out the crystal ball and activated it, even Red Prince got stunned and then stared at Robert in confusion and puzzlement.

Before he could wake up from the confusion, he saw Lydia suddenly attacked Robert and demolished the house using her spatial magic spells.

But as the fight progress, Red Prince soon learned that Lydia got tricked by the real Charles and nodded his head in understanding.

He then saw how Charles used his Ember Pistol to blow Lydia's head, how the Fate Change spell took effect and killed Robert, and even watched Lydia's head grow back usual.

At that moment, the whole surrounding suddenly started to freeze.

A frown appeared on Red Prince's face as he saw that the past vision started to shake and soon broke into many pieces.

A moment later, his left side platinum earring made a cracking noise and soon fell on the ground!

But he didn't even glance at the broken earring, though. Instead, he wore a confused look on his face and soon creased his eyebrows.

'Hmm? Professor Robert already died in the vision… Does that mean Charles is using his identity now?' A look of understanding expression appeared on his face.
