Fire Mage

Chapter 117: Vision

A few minutes later,

Charles stood at the center of the illuminated underground hall and was staring deeply at the gem-like leaf that was placed in his palm. Unlike before, he had long changed his appearance into a young one and wore a red gem-embedded bracelet in his hand.

He then went towards the left side, made a small marking, and attached the leaf to the concrete wall.

Then, he took out the Starfall Codex magic book from his space ring and started flipping the pages.

'Even if you cast supportive spells or defensive spells on you beforehand, it will vanish when you arrive at the other side, lad.' The Holem's Crown said in his mind.

'I know.' Charles nodded his head and soon stopped at page 16.

Then, he took a deep breath and started to chant in the Runal Language. His cold voice echoed in the bright underground basement, and soon the candles began to flicker in every corner of the room.

He continued to chant as his eyes started to turn white and finally ended the chant.

"Seer's Vision." He spat out those two words in Runal Language and soon saw that the whole surroundings started to distort before forming a different scene.

Charles instantly looked around and noticed that he was in an open area!

No, he was in an open garden with only a few red-leaf plants.

The bright red sky illuminated the whole place in dazzling red light and gave an eerie feeling to his heart.

Soon, he frowned as he heard war cries from all directions and soon widened his eyes.

Because what he saw was not a group of people, but an army!

They appeared to have surrounded him from the very beginning.

Soon, he focused his attention on his own figure and soon noticed that the future 'Him' was also staring at the army with dumbfounded eyes.

At that moment, a horn sound resounded, followed by rains of arrows and weapons poured down from all directions!

Countless silver-armored Night goblins, red-skinned humans, and even some strange humanoid creatures with different types of horns were sprinting towards his direction while holding various weapons!

But what attracted Charles's attention were not the different race peoples, but a unique 3-meter tall humanoid being.

Lava-like droplets dripped down from its red body skin, and smokes were constantly spewing out from its nostrils. The tall being's face appeared neither like the wicked-mouth goblins nor link ugly pig-headed Orcs. It had a face similar to humans, but at the same time, its nose was slightly longer.

It only wore a small undergarment made of some skin and held a large War Scythe!

'It's the Magma Fiend!' That was the first thought that appeared in his mind!

At that moment, the Magma Fiend squatted down a little and leaped towards the future 'Him' at a first speed.

Before Charles could see the conclusion, the surrounding trembled for a moment and soon broken into multiple pieces like broken glasses!

A moment later, his consciousness had already returned to the underground, and he wore a grim look on his face.

'The enemy appeared to be well prepared. Could they also have someone with prediction-like abilities?'

'It seems so.' Charles took a deep breath to calm his mind and took out the Ember Pistol from his space ring.

Then, he muttered the short recite and disappeared from there!

…

Moris Fire Elemental Plane, Twilight Land, Miners' Den.

Unlike other days, hundreds of well-equipped Night Goblins, Rock Golems, Lava Orcs, Red Humans stood in the Vermillion Garden. They were staring warily at a particular metal door, placed at the center of the garden.

"Are you sure about your prophecy, Dawn Child?" A three-meter tall, muscular Magma Fiend named Garath asked the small red-skin human kid, who stood next to him, in a rough voice.

"Yes. The Strange Human will definitely invade our home and would cause great chaos." A pleasant girlish voice came out from the kid's mouth as it nodded its tiny head and said. Although this girl appeared weak and fragile, she was a 200-year-old being.

Not only that, but she also could read the stars and predict the future through prophecies!

"Humph, he is nothing but a puny weakling in front of me, Isla." Garath got annoyed by the girl's words and said in an annoyed tone. Although he was a Rank-4 being, he knew his strength was nothing in front of this girl's power.

In truth, she was the main reason for his rapid grown in the Twilight Land.

As he was about to ask her about the enemy's arrival, he suddenly saw that green-gem-like leaf on the metal gate started to shine in dim green light!

Garath's crimson eyes shone in excitement as he gripped the War Scythe and inhaled. Thick air filled with fire-elemental power entered his nostril and soon came out in the form of smoke.

At that moment, space started to twist in front of the metal gate and soon formed into a blurry shadow. A moment later, everyone saw a deep-blue-haired creature with two legs, and two hands appeared in front of them. It held an eerie black-covered book in its right hand and a weird metal scrap in its left hand.

"Except for his skin tone, his appearance looks the same as us," Isla said in a solemn tone.

In the meantime, Garath let out a cold snort and raised his War Scythe.

"Move." He spat out a single word and leaped towards the enemy.

Although he was a brave warrior, he was still fearful of this unknown creature, so he instantly thought of capturing it alive while it was in the weakened state.

In the meantime, Charles took a moment to snap out from the dizziness and soon moved his hand towards the Twin Leaf.

To his astonishment, he saw some invisible layer appeared out of nowhere and blocked his hand from moving near it!

'As I thought, they are indeed well-prepared.' He let out a deep sigh and spoke in his mind.

'Mr. Runeth, It's your turn.' Charles said as he opened the Starfall Codex magic book, flipped the page at an unimaginable speed, and soon stopped at page no.17.

At the exact moment, he raised his other hand, turned the Ember Pistol's hammer, aimed it at the three-meter-tall creature's right eye, and squeezed the trigger.

Bang!

"Dodge!" Isla's shout echoed in the battlefield as the crimson bullet came out from the pistol's muzzle, tore through the air, and appeared in front of Garath's right eye in a blink!

At that moment, Garath's crimson pupil shrunk into a minute dot!

He instantly knew that it was impossible to dodge this attack and ducked his head.

A moment later, a bang sound resounded in the garden as the bullet landed on his forehead!

The next instant, a sharp pain appeared on his forehead as he stumbled backward and soon stopped with wide eyes. Blood dripped down from his forehead and soon painted his face in scarlet color.

For a second, the whole battlefield froze in shock and disbelief!
