Chapter 435: Wheel of Fortune

The next instant, Charles zeroed his gaze on Nash and cast Burning Thoughts on him.

But at that moment, the clover symbol on the coin suddenly shone brightly, released an invisible ripple, and blocked the Mind Fire from invading his mind!

'What the-?' Before Charles could even think further, Duke Michael jumped up while holding the Goddess's shield in his left hand, flapped his bat wings forcefully, and shot towards him like an arrow.

While moving, he also gripped the Blacken Sword on his right hand, connected his mind with the sword, and created a sword aura.

A second later, a dazzling golden aura came out of the hilt area and soon covered the sword edges!

It was the Grandmaster Level Sword aura!

Legend says that this aura could even cut a diamond-like cake!

Without any hesitation, Charles cast Rank-4 Sun's Guard spell and created a sunshine-force field around his elemental demonic body. At that moment, Duke Michael also arrived in front of Charles and slashed his sword at the sunshine layer.

The sharpened blade tore through the air, even ripped the surrounding space, and soon collided against the sunshine shield.

A second later, a bang sound echoed in the middle of the garden, followed by cracking noises. Charles noticed that cracks appeared all over his defensive spell and soon went solemn.

As he was about to teleport, Nash raised his hand, pointed his finger in his direction, and spoke.

"Let Amay judge you for your demonic deeds.

"

A second later, Charles suddenly saw that a silhouette of an elephant appeared above Nash's head and dashed towards his direction.

No, it wasn't an elephant but a mammoth!

What's more shocking was that somehow that strange mammoth's eyes glowed in golden light, released an invisible ripple, and created a strong disturbance in the surrounding spatial elements.

'Sh*t!' He cursed inwardly and soon saw his whole defensive spell was crumbled into powders.

At that moment, Duke Michael didn't hold back his strength and continued to slash at Charles's chest.

But before the aura-coated sword could pierce through his elemental body, a greenish ripple came out of his chest area and created another forcefield-like structure.

It was the Nature Leaf's ability!

Another clanging sound echoed as the sword collided against the nature shield, pushed him backward, and created shockwaves in all directions.

But unlike before, not a single crack appeared on the nature shield.

A heavy sigh came out of Charles's mouth.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a second to relax as he saw the incoming illusionary mammoth.

Soon, the illusionary mammoth arrived before his sight, turned into a golden spear with a white tip, and slammed onto the green layer.

But what's more shocking was that the golden spear managed to tear through the Nature Shield, pierced into Charles's chest, and reappeared on the other side!

Lavas and reddish fire sprayed in all directions and burned the nearby grass.

A moment later, a fist-sized hole appeared in his chest area.

At that moment, Charles staggered with a shocked look on his face and soon fell backward.

A loud thud echoed in the grassy yard.

As Nash and Duke Michael saw this scene, both of them glanced at each other and curled their lips upward.

But before they could shout in rejoice, the 3-meter tall flame demon suddenly stood up while letting out a creaking noise.

In truth, Charles wasn't injured in the slightest.

After his rebirth, his elemental body had upgraded to Rank-6 spell level and could even face a Rank-5 spell.

Much less some divine spell.

"Not bad.

" He spoke coarsely, raised his hand, pointed his finger at Duke Michael, and cast the Rank-4 Finger of Destruction spell.

He knew that defeating the Demon Sorcerer was an impossible task in his situation. So, he instantly shifted his gaze towards Duke Michale and chose to kill him.

A reddish ray of fire suddenly came out of his fingertip, moved towards Duke Michael, and soon arrived in front of him.

But just as the ray was about to penetrate his head, the Goddess's Shield in his left hand trembled all of a sudden, created a reddish fire-shied and blocked the red ray.

A moment later, a loud explosive sound echoed, causing the chaos fire to spread in all directions. Within minutes, the chaotic fire consumed the nearby ornamental trees, plants, grass and even burned the wooden posts!

Instead of a greenish yard, the whole garden appeared devastated.

Alas, Charles's expression wasn't too good.

'It managed to block my Rank-4 spell? What a troublesome shield.' He turned his face solemn, thought of something else, and cast Burning Thoughts on Duke Michael.

But before the 'Mind Fire' could get near Duke, a similar ripple came out of the mysterious coin necklace in Nash's hand and completely nullified it.

'That Demon Sorcerer only used two abilities, but those spell already nullified my spells.' Charles soon realized that he was no match for this guy.

'Should I try my trickster skill and steal any one of those artifacts?' A cold glint appeared in his eyes.

He knew that defeating any one of them was impossible. So, he decided to steal their artifacts.

Without any delay, cast Hands of Wonder skill, released an invisible string, and moved towards Nash.

In a blink, the invisible string bent the space, moved towards Nash's necklace at an unimaginable speed, and soon arrived in front of it.

A second later, the invisible strong tangled with the coin necklace and firmly tied to it.

Upon seeing this, Charles raised his hand and pulled the string in his direction.

The next instant, the coin necklace suddenly slipped out of Nash's hand, entered the deep crack that appeared out of nowhere, and soon appeared in front of Charles.

Alas, no trace of panic or anxiousness appeared on Nash's face as he saw this scene.

He calmly took a step forward and muttered.

"Wheel of Fortune.

"

As he spoke, something extraordinary happened.

The mysterious coin shone brightly suddenly, sent out a golden ray, and soon created a mysterious golden halo above Nash's head.

It looked more like a cart's wheel, had 24 spokes, reddish central disk, and white rim!

It circled above his head like an actual wheel, sent bolts of lightning towards the invisible string, and broke it into minute pieces.

Not only that, but those bolts of lightning also landed on Charles's body and sent him flying in the other direction.

Even the restored Nature Shield couldn't block that mysterious lightning. Charles hurriedly flapped his black wings, managed to control the momentum, and soon hovered in mid-air.

Then, he checked his elemental body but found no wound or anything.

'What happened?' He hurriedly activated his Arcane Eyes and soon widened his eyes.

At that moment, he noticed that some mysterious golden threads appeared from the golden halo and attached to all parts of his soul form!

Not only that, but he also noticed that these mysterious golden threads were trying to invade his Inner World!

'It is trying to control my every action?' He frowned.

Although these threads appeared similar to the 'Fate Strings,' he knew that these threads were completely different.

Even though Nash was more than 100 meters away from him, Charles felt that an unimaginable amount of divine power oozed out of that golden wheel.

'Wait... I feel a familiar sensation... Is it the power of luck?' He was stunned a little.

'It's better to break these things.' He nodded thoughtfully, conjured a ball of rebirth flame, weaved it into a sword-like structure, and slashed at all directions.

The rebirth flame moved towards those invisible golden threads, neatly cut them one by one, and soon severed all those connections!

Due to the sudden disturbance, the mysterious wheel also faced severe backlash, shrunk suddenly, and soon disappeared.

Upon seeing this, a shock appeared on Nash's face.

But soon, he muttered a mysterious chant, raised his hand, and pulled the hovering coin necklace towards his direction.

He caught the necklace in a blink, wore it over his head, and shifted his gaze towards Charles.

On the other hand, Charles's face went dead serious.

'He is acting too calm... It feels like he is the one who is controlling the whole situation of this battle.'

What's more shocking was that this mysterious Nash guy didn't use any of his single spell or skill!

'He has three more abilities under his sleeves. Meanwhile, I already used up my defensive and attack spells.' Currently, Charles couldn't only use Black Inferno spell and Curse of the Overlord spell to turn the situation around.

But he decided not to use them against these two guys.

First, he wanted to obtain at least one of the two artifacts. Second, these two would be perfect bodyguards for the Second Prince Julius and also for his plans!

'Anyway, I already achieved my goal here. It's time to escape.' He opened his bulky elemental arms wider, flapped the reddish-black wings forcefully, and shot towards the sky!

"He is trying to escape!

" Duke squinted his eyes sharper and shouted.

"Let him go. We are barely holding up against that monster.

" Nash refused to act. In truth, his artifact's abilities had long cool-down times.

'I also used up my attack spell.' He muttered inwardly.

'
