Chapter 322: Fire Domain

In the meantime, the Holem's Crown spoke in Charles's mind.

​​

'Staying in his Domain is dangerous, kid. Only your Fire Domain can negate his Domain.'

'But his wisdom power should be above mine, right?' Charles asked with a frown.

The reason he didn't use his Domain was mainly because of receiving a backlash.

'Those who have higher wisdom power could easily dominate other's Domain and replace it with their own! If such thing happens, the loser will receive a backlash.'

When Red Prince attacked Charles's mind earlier, he sensed that the opponent's wisdom power was higher than his own!

'Although his wisdom power hasn't crossed 200, it shouldn't be lesser than 190.' A grim look appeared on his face.

'No. Red Prince's Domain should be in his weakened state by now. If my guess isn't wrong, Rachel's earlier lightning attacks should've damaged his Dark Space. Moreover, Red Prince's earlier action to summon the gigantic hand from the Hell Plane must've cost some of his wisdom power. Cast your eyes skill and check his wisdom power.' The Holem's Crown spoke in a calm tone.

Upon hearing those words, Charles widened his eyes in surprise.

At that moment, his eyes turned blurry, and he received a few futuristic images.

It was a vision about Oswald's death!

In that vision, he saw that the Red Prince suddenly teleported right in front of Oswald, touched his chest for a second, and disappeared.

After that, Oswald's body started to rot, and soon he turned into ashes!

'A curse? He received some help to cast a Mysterious Curse on the enemy from his main body?' A frown appeared on his face.

Without any hesitation, Charles took out an emerald green amulet from his space ring, held it in his right hand, and waited for the right time.

Meanwhile, Oswald also returned to his calm self and gripped his long sword.

'Be careful of his ambush, old man. He seems to be planning to place a mysterious curse on you.' Charles's calm voice echoed in his head, causing his amber eyes to widen.

'Oh? Then, I'll conceal myself for some time.' Saying so, he raised his hand and touched his face.

The next instant, his whole body started to blur all of a sudden and turned invisible!

Upon seeing his action, Red Prince let out a chuckle and spoke in a mocking tone.

"I can still see you, mortal. As long as you are in my Innate Domain, I can see and read all your movements. This Domain specialized in Fate, Destiny, Corruption, and Madness. I even know why you are going into the concealing mode."

Saying so, he suddenly raised his hand, made a strange hand sign, and smiled.

The next instant, his whole right hand turned into an eerie pitch black!

Then, he took a step forward in the air and disappeared from there.

The next instant, he reappeared on the barren land and tried to touch something invisible.

But before he could touch the invisible Oswald, a cold voice echoed in the Domain.

"Winds of Change."

As the voice ended, Red Prince suddenly felt that the whole place began to distort and soon found himself hovering in front of a completely different person.

But not a single sign of surprise or shock appeared on his face.

Instead, he calmly looked at Charles as if he had already expected this outcome and extended his hand.

But just as his eerie black hand was about to touch his chest, a sunshine layer appeared and blocked his hand!

Still, that layer broke into pure energy in a second and disappeared.

"It's over, Charles." A cold voice came out of Red Prince's mouth.

On the other hand, Charles raised his eyebrows, activated his [Arcane Eyes] skill, and looked into his eyes.

Simultaneously, thousands of invisible strings appeared out of nowhere and completely bound the Red Prince!

Red Prince tried to move his hand but couldn't!

It was as if some invisible force completely took over his body!

'What is this trick?' He widened his eyes in surprise and tried to cast [Fate Swap] skill with Oswald.

But to his shock, even his Fate skill got nullified by some invisible power!

'A power to nullify magic? No… It's not. But this invisible thing has the power to block all kinds of magic and restrict one's movement. Even my Black wings are not responding to my command!' He was stunned inside.

Without any hesitation, Red Prince closed his eyes and recited an incantation in his mind.

A moment later, his whole body started to bulge and exploded before burning in a black flame!

Simultaneously, another drop of blood suddenly appeared a few hundred meters away from him and started to expand.

Within two seconds, another Red Prince appeared!

But Charles noticed a difference in his body status.

Red Prince appeared weaker than before!

'His wisdom has long dropped to 175 points. Moreover, he already seems to have exhausted physically. Is this the price he paid to summon his real body's hand?' He furrowed in suspicion.

Then, he cast [Flame Teleportation] spell on himself, enveloped his body in a crimson flame, and disappeared from there.

He then reappeared in front of the Red Prince, opened his mouth, and spoke.

"Fire Domain."

The next instant, the whole surroundings land started to clash with his Domain!

After a slight clash, Charles's Fire Domain replaced the barren lands and other areas with fire-related regions.

Multiple lava pools, volcanic mountains, elemental plants, and scorched land covered in smoldering embers appeared all over the areas.

Upon seeing the sudden change, Red Prince's eyes widened.

Although he heard that Charles's wisdom power had already reached the realm of Pseudo-Legendary, he was still surprised deeply.

No, he was shocked inside.

'How did he increase his wisdom power in a short time? Is it due to artifact?' A suspicion appeared in his mind.

'I need to escape!' Such thought surfaced in his mind.

All this time, he didn't even consider these two mortals as his enemies at all!

But upon seeing Charles's Fire Domain, his mind started to waver a little.

'At least, I need to kill one of them before I break this Domain. Otherwise, both might not let me escape that easily.'

Muttering inwardly, he locked his gaze on a particular area, curled his lips upward, and spoke.

"Fate Swap."

The next instant, Charles's figure turned blurry all of a sudden and was soon replaced with the figure of a white-haired old man.

Oswald's eyes widened as he saw the sudden change and tried to back away.

On the other hand, Red Prince once again raised his black hand and moved it towards his chest.

But before he could touch his chest, Oswald's figure once again turned blurry and was soon replaced with Charles's one.

At that moment, Charles held a strange silver pocket watch in his hand, moved his finger towards the crown area, and pressed it.

The next second, the whole Fire Domain got frozen in Time!
