Chapter 346: A New Land

Just as Charles disappeared from the Red Forest, two types of invisible power came from two different directions and clashed against each other.

One belongs to the Ember Golem, who resides in the Ember Castle, while the other belongs to a new entity!

But at that time, the Ember Golem noticed that it was missing some of its memories and felt puzzled.

Then, the Ember Golem made a swift decision and retracted its wisdom power.

…

Old Mansion, City of Iron, Edhen World.

Meanwhile, a red-skinned human appeared in the underground basement and released his wisdom power in all directions.

He had short crimson hair, light coral eyes, a round face, and a little fat body with a big belly.

He was none other than Charles!

Once checking the surroundings, he cast the Flame Teleportation spell on himself, enveloped his body in a crimson flame, and disappeared from there.

A moment later, he reappeared in the city outskirts and soon shifted his direction towards the nearby woodlands.

Without wasting any time, he disappeared from there and reappeared in the middle of dense woods.

After that, he stood near a tall tree, closed his eyes, and entered his Inner World.

But just as he appeared in his Inner World, he was startled by the scene in front of him.

At that moment, tens of golden streaks moving in every direction and were causing destruction all over his Inner World!

Volcanic mountains, elemental forests, lava pools were destroyed constantly by these golden streaks!

'T-This… Although these streaks aren't powerful, they are still capable of harming my Inner World!' Without any hesitation, he created his Fire Domain and released all those golden streaks out of his Inner world!

A second later, all those golden streaks appeared out of his body and started destroying everything in his Fire Domain.

Some golden streaks even escaped from his Fire Domain and caused destructions in the outside world!

Meanwhile, Charles opened his eyes and saw that the red trees, plants, unique lava pools, volcanic mountains, and lands started to burn in golden flames.

Within a few seconds, the golden flame enveloped his Fire Domain!

Charles stood in the middle of the golden flame and started to frown.

'Hmm, the golden streaks aren't Rank-5 spells. They are peak Rank-4 spells.' He still remembered how powerful a Rank-5 spell could be.

'There is something else that is troubling me. That Ember Golem is really a Legend-Rank Powerhouse?' He felt something was off.

'The Ember Golem's incarnation had the power to kill me with a single attack, but it still hasn't reached the Rank-6… But its wisdom power is something unique and well-concealed. No, I felt a feeling of sacredness and pureness. If not for my high perception, I wouldn't have noticed its presence. Hmm, there are a few things I need to find out. First, I must find out more about the religions.' Charles erased many Lava Orcs' memories and learned a few things about other races during the past few weeks.

The one thing that caught his attention most was the different religions in the Fire Elemental Plane.

Each race believes in some God-like Entity and worships them regularly.

'Lava Giants worships an entity called Sun Lord... Red Humans and Crimson Birds worship Fire Bird, Ember Golems and Magmins worship Mother Earth, Magma Fiends worships a strange humanoid creature named 'Morgas'... And Red Lizards worships Dragon God. Alas, there is no evidence about these entities' presence in this world.' A deep sigh leaked out of his mouth.

He then looked at the surroundings and soon noticed that the golden flame was starting to soothe down.

Nodding inwardly, he dismissed the Fire Domain, reappeared in the outside world, and soon clicked his tongue.

At that moment, he saw that the surrounding trees and plants were already burning in the same golden flames!

'As I thought, my pseudo-domain isn't strong enough.' He shook his head and then cast Flame Teleportation on himself before enveloping himself in a crimson flame.

A second later, he disappeared from there and reappeared in the same underground basement hall.

Then, he cast vision skill and checked whether it was safer to go back to the Fire Elemental Plane.

'Hmm, there is no possible danger. It means the 'Fog of Time' skill manages to erase my appearance from the Ember Golem's mind.' A smile crept on his face.

Still, he thought it was better to act cautious and chose to stay in the basement hall for a few hours.

After that, he walked towards the nearby concrete wall, focused his attention on the Twin Leaf, and muttered.

"Return.

"

A moment later, he reappeared in the middle of the red forest filled with dark-red trees and plants.

He then released his wisdom power, searched for the Twin Leaf, and found it beneath the withered leaves.

After that, he stored it in his space ring and started walking deep into the forest region.

Along the way, he came across a small mountain range, a natural river filled with pure water, and even some green plants!

He also noticed that the temperature in the surrounding areas also dropped significantly!

If Charles had been transported here instead of the Twilight Land, he wouldn't have thought of this plane as a Fire Elemental Plane!

'This looks more like a normal world!' He climbed down from the mountain range and moved towards where the river water was flowing!

A few hours later, he finally walked out of the forest region and soon got astonished by the scene.

Instead of dense woods and grasslands, agricultural plants and cultivated lands were the only things that appeared in front of his eyes.

Meanwhile, the Red Humans were constantly doing agricultural works like irrigating through channels, cropping, fertilizing, etc.

They stored the leaking water from the river in a pond-like area and irrigated it through water channels.

Charles even saw some red human kids picking fruits and vegetables from the plants and vines and putting them in their backpacks.

Upon seeing the Red Humans, there was one word that appeared in Charles's mind.

'Civilized!'

They were much more civilized than the rest of the elemental races!

Comparing to these people, the Red Humans in the Miners' Den appeared more like barbarian tribes!

They live in Igloo-type houses made of hot ember stones, appeared a little aggressive, wore hand-made dresses, and more importantly, they were slaves!

But the people here in this land appeared more like free citizens.

There were no chains around their collars; they wore well-designed dresses and looked neater.

Charles also noticed that their skin color appeared a little bit paler and appeared more like blush!

As he stepped on the small path, many farmers looked in his direction and gave him a curious look.

The main reason for that was not due to his skin tone, but his crimson hair!

In this land, most of the Red Humans had only brown hair!

'It seems I need to alter myself a little.' He muttered inwardly and soon continued to walk next to the river.

After a few minutes, he reached an isolated area and started to change his skin tone.

Within a few seconds, his body skin turned from red to blush, and his hair color also changed into a brown one.

After that, Charles took out an old linen shirt and pants and changed his clothes.

Comparing to the hand-weaved dress, this one appeared well made.

Once the disguise was over, he continued the journey and constantly searched for a lone target.

After a few minutes of walking, he came across a dirt path and stopped.

At that moment, he saw a Red Human woman mounted on a six-legged horse-like creature and was slowly riding up ahead.

Unlike other Red Humans, she wore a leather-armor-like dress, held a unique curved sword in her waist, and appeared strong.

Charles studied her for a moment and soon chose to follow after her.

Meanwhile, the Red Human woman rode the horse-like creature, stopped near some farmhouses from time to time, and soon entered another woodland.

The tree barks in the nearby woods appeared eerie blackish, and the leaves also seemed to be dark greener.

Although some trees' leaves looked red, they didn't release any fire-elemental energy at all.

Almost all the trees in this woodland were normal ones.

While riding, the woman suddenly saw a strange fat Red Human blocking her path up ahead and furrowed.

She instantly pulled the ropes, stopped the horse, and then jumped down.

After that, she unsheathed the curved sword, pointed the tip at the Red Human, and asked in a strange language.

Unfortunately, Charles couldn't understand a single word that came out of her mouth.

Without wasting any time, he cast Flame Teleportation spell on himself and reappeared in front of her.

Then, he cast Burning Thoughts on her and knocked her unconscious.

After that, he cast the rank-4 spell Burning Consciousness and started erasing her memories.

Language, culture, religion, history, and much more information appeared in his mind one by one.
