Chapter 544: Mutation
Charles first calculated the distance between him and Brooks and confirmed that he was standing 10 meters away from him.
'I need to be at 5 meters distance to cast the [Soul Shock] spell.' While muttering, he tried to cast the [Burning Thoughts] spell on Brooks but failed.
Meanwhile, one of the golden skeletons raised its sword and aimed at his right hand.
Charles confirmed that the other party was trying to cripple him and turned grim.
'I've no choice but to sacrifice my hand-'
He abruptly paused and noticed a strange anomaly happening in his right eye at that moment.
A strange mystic force pushed the 'wisdom essence' away from his left eye the next second and let it enter his right eye! freewebnovel.co(m)
Simultaneously, he sensed a unique mutation started to happen in his left white crystalline eye and got startled deeply. It was as if a completely new power replaced the wisdom essence in his left eye!
'What is happening to my other eye?' He thought of opening the left eye but decided to let the mutation complete.
'I have a strange suspicion from the very start. Let's see if my guess is right.'
On the other hand, the wisdom essence stored in the left eye entered his right eye and combined with the original one, enchanting his eye skill.
The skill soon turned into [Eye of the Runes] skill!
In a mere moment, Charles noticed that the wisdom essence enchanted his right eye to an unimaginable level and showed him multiple weaknesses of the attacking golden skeleton.
In seconds, he also saw a foggy humanoid figure sealed inside the skeleton, and it looked more like a puppet.
'Soul of this skeleton? It hadn't undergone any mutation yet. Wait, the skeleton be from a Demigod, but its Soul isn't.'
As he looked further, he saw more than tens of minute greyish threads came from Brook and connected to the Soul's head area, hands, legs, and even the body parts.
'They look more like threads made of Nether energy!' A flash of surprise appeared on Charles's face. At that moment, he learned how the necromancers controlled the souls and skeleton bodies and let them move under their will.
'I got you now.' He didn't hesitate as he touched his space ring, took out the [Blackened Heart] long sword, and covered it entirely with the 'Rebirth Flame.'
As the Golden Skeleton was about to slash at his right hand, Charles swiftly thrust the long sword at a particular thread controlling the Soul's right hand and severed it.
His movement speed appeared faster than the skeleton for some odd reasons!
A second later, the sword in the golden skeleton's hand detached on its own and hovered in the air.
The skeleton's hand also abruptly got frozen in mid-air.
Utilizing the opportunity, Charles moved his sword towards the skeleton's skull, then towards the skeleton's chest region, another hand, and legs and severed all the nether threads!
Before Brooks could realize what was happening to the golden skeleton, Charles released the original Soul from its puppet state.
The Soul also seemed to have been affected by the 'Time-Stop' effect and remained motionless.
'But this is more than enough.' Charles muttered inwardly and took a few steps away from the other two golden skeletons.
Simultaneously, he sensed that the mutation in his left eye was also got completed and opened it slowly.
The next instant, he couldn't help but get shocked inside.
At that moment, he noticed that more than 20 types of small sections appeared in that eye, and each showed him a different kind of reality!
It was like Charles's left eye suddenly formed more than twenty lenses, and each showed a unique future!
In one particular section, he noticed that a golden skeleton stabbed its two swords into his chest and pinned him to the ground.
But in another section, Charles noticed that he managed to dodge those swords and severed the nether threads attached to the Soul hidden in the golden skeleton.
While seeing those twenty types of future visions, he was momentarily stunned.
He also noticed that his understanding of the 'Future Time' had improved significantly and was amazed.
In the meantime, Brooks also noticed the anomaly and ordered the other two skeletons to attack him with full force.
But as the nearby golden skeleton sprinted in his direction while raising its swords, Charles suddenly bent his body at a weird angle, dodged the skeleton's right-hand sword in a hairsbreadth, and blocked the other sword using his long sword.
Then, he tilted his sword, moved the sword tip towards the golden skeleton's elbow joint area, and severed a nether thread.
After that, he took a step forward, evaded the sword attack from the left side, and thrust his sword at a particular angle.
The sword moved like a slithering snake, landed on the golden skeleton's left hand, and froze it.
Charles then casually pulled the [Blackened Heart] sword, made multiple slashes at the skeleton's neck, chest, and limbs, severed the nether threads, and made it motionless.
Just as he severed the final nether thread on the golden skeleton, he suddenly gripped the skeleton's skull, moved it towards his nape, and blocked the sword aimed at his head from behind.
Then, he turned around and locked his gaze on the final golden skeleton.
After that, he calmly raised his [Blackened Heart] sword and blocked the other sword.
On the other hand, the golden skeleton suddenly took two steps backward and stared at Charles with its reddish soul fire.
There was a hint of confusion visible in its eyes.
'How did you kill my two puppets?' A shocked telepathic voice echoed in his head all of a sudden.
It was from Brooks.
Meanwhile, Charles moved his left hand towards the nearby skeleton's hand, picked up the hovering sword, and held it tightly.
A second later, he created a layer of rebirth flame and covered the sword's edges.
'Shall we start?' Charles looked into the single golden skeleton's soul fire and asked with a smirk.
On the other hand, the skeleton seemed enraged by his calm voice and dashed towards him at a terrifying speed while aiming the swords at his head.
In the meantime, Charles studied the skeleton's following possible actions through his mutated left eye and parried against the golden skeleton's sword attacks very casually.
He severed a nether thread attached to its left tight in mere moments and crippled its movement speed.
He soon found another opportunity and severed a nether thread attached to its left hand.
Then, he made a powerful slash at the frozen area and separated the silvery sword from its grip.
In the next few moments, he also severed other nether threads and finally stopped its movement like the other two.
'This is indeed a good battle.' Muttering inwardly, he shifted his gaze towards Brooks, who stood more than 12 meters away from where he was standing, and started walking towards him.
Within a few seconds, he arrived in front of the black-robed old man, raised the [Blackened Heart] sword, and placed the sword tip at Brook's neck.
'Who told you to come here? Is it Professor?' He asked, but no response came from the other party.
Clicking his tongue, Charles dispelled the rebirth flame in two swords and ordered.
'Genesis, remove the 'Time-Stop' effect.'
An invisible ripple came out of Charles's body, spread in all directions, and enveloped the whole city instantly.
After that, the invisible ripple nullified the 'Time-Stop' power and let everything return to normal.
In the meantime, Charles looked into Brooks' eyes, cast [Soul Shock] spell on him, and paralyzed his Soul.
Then, he moved his [Blackened Heart] sword, slashed at his neck, and decapitated his head.
After that, he conjured two balls of chaos flame and tossed them into the falling body and head.
'It's time for me to leave.' He didn't dare to stay in this building any longer, hurriedly walked towards the entrance, and left the four-story mansion house.
He soon stepped on the concrete path, walked through the defensive array layer that covered the mansion, and soon arrived near the compound gate.
Then, he raised his right hand, pointed his finger at the gatekeeper, and tried to cast the [Finger of Destruction] spell on him.
But before he could even cast it, a ray of black lightning appeared from the sky, directly landed on his head, and disintegrated him into ashes.
