Chapter 150: Ember Wizard

Charles clearly knew the time limit of this freezing skill and acted swiftly.

He moved his aura-coated sword and decapitated another three Orcs' heads in the next two seconds!

...

[Target Eliminated! 1,950 Exp points obtained!]

[Target Eliminated! 2,040 Exp points obtained!]

[Target Eliminated! 2,650 Exp points obtained!]

...

Out of seven Orcs, only two remained alive when the freezing skill effect was gone!

"I thought Orcs are tough creatures." A cold voice echoed in the remaining Orcs' ears, causing them to tremble uncontrollably.

They were truly scared out of their wits!

One fat Orc couldn't control his urinary bladder, and he peed on the spot!

Before he could wake up from the shock, Charles appeared beside him and plunged the sword into his neck.

[Target Eliminated! 1,800 Exp points obtained!]

Meanwhile, the last Orc turned around and stared at him with trembling hands.

Anger, hate, and helplessness appeared on his ugly face.

'I have to avenge them.' The fat Orc thought.

But he didn't dare to move!

"Good boy." Charles was pleased by the Orc's reaction and cast [Fire Seed] spell on it.

The next instant, the Orc suddenly noticed that its own memories were begun to fade away one by one!

"W-What are you?!" He stared at Charles with wide eyes.

"Does it matter?" Charles shrugged his shoulder and waved his hand.

The next instant, seven weapons suddenly appeared in front of the Orc and started to hover in the air. Soon, they began to encircle him and attacked him on their own from all directions.

In seconds, deep cuts appeared all over the Orc's body.

One broadsword severed his right leg tendons, while another Axe cut the left side tendon.

Meanwhile, other weapons hovered and started attacking his back and chest.

Each of those attacks appeared precise and powerful.

The Orc felt that he was facing seven Red Humans!

Within seconds, he lost too much blood and fell on his knees.

In the meantime, Charles focused his attention on the [Fire Seed] spell and started burning his memories.

Although the Orc wailed from time to time, Charles didn't even show any sympathy at all.

For the next two hours, he stood in front of the Orc and started reading his memory one by one.

'Derrin...A war soldier... search mission to find the Invader... His other mission is to search for the Homeland of Orcs... His memory has nothing important...Hmm, an Alchemist Shaman?' Suddenly a piece of memory caught Charles's attention.

'There is a famous Rank-3 Alchemist Shaman who came to the Twilight Land a few months ago and seemed to be planning on Joining under Magma Fiend of Miners' Den Town... There is a rumor spreading that his potions could increase one's body strengths permanently! Many Rank-4 members and Rank-3 members from Twilight Lands eagerly want to exchange precious materials with him to get a potion bottle.' Charles's eyes squinted sharper.

'Potions... I also heard that City Of Miracles had many legendary Alchemists and some could even turn a mortal into a Rank-4 level strength Mystic through potions... But those potions are not some vegetables. Each potion costs countless gold coins... From the looks of it, this world also has some Alchemists.' He nodded thoughtfully and patiently read other information.

Unfortunately, most of the information was of less to no value to him. Once he completely erased his memories, he raised his new sword and swiftly decapitated him.

[Target Eliminated! 1,300 Exp points obtained!]

'Why this Orc gives less Exp when comparing it with other ones? Could it be Exp point would reduce whenever I absorb the target's memories?' A thought appeared in his mind.

After that, Charles dragged those Orcs' bodies one by one and pushed them into the lava lake before taking the weapons. Then, he went near the tent, dismantled them, and then stored them in his space ring.

Following that, he glanced at the surrounding areas and then erased his foot trails.

'Hmm, the only thing that leaves a clue is these blood trails.' He furrowed his brows for a second and soon shook his head.

'It seems I need to find another suitable hideout.'

Letting out a deep sigh, he cast [Red Wings] spell on himself and flew towards the opposite shore of Lava Lake. Then, he dismissed his wing spell and started walking deep into the dense red trees.

Although he encountered a few wild creatures similar to wolves and deer, they didn't pose any threat to him at all.

After a few hours of roaming in the forest, he soon found a suitable place beside a waterfall.

Yes, it wasn't a lavafall but a real waterfall!

It was the first time Charles had seen pure water in the Fire Elemental Plane and was surprised inside.

Although the whole river was boiling due to the heat of the Fire Plane, the water quantity didn't get reduced at all.

'Yes, this is a suitable place for me.' He nodded thoughtfully and soon found an underground cave just behind the falling waters.

The next second, he went near the cave while conjuring a ball of flame and entered inside.

At that moment, a dark shadow suddenly leaped towards him from inside.

It was a panther-like animal!

But unlike the panther from Earth, its skin appeared dark reddish, around one meter tall, and had crimson eyes.

'It's a Rank-1 creature.' Charles took a step back and directly killed it with his attack spell.

Then, he removed the stones in the dark underground cave and started cutting the strange Fire Plane weeds, vines, and plants. He spent another hour making the place clean and then closed the entrance with a sizeable rock.

After that, he returned to the area, took out two fire torches, which he took from the underground basement, and placed them on the cave walls.

He then lit the torches, went to the cave's center, and sat on a flat rock.

'I haven't seen the Rank Up quest yet.' He placed his hand on his forehead, opened the game interface, and focused his attention on the quest icon. Although he saw a few notifications before he met the Orcs, he didn't have any time to check at all.

[Main Class Rank-up Quest: Enter the Inner World.

Description: Search for more clues about souls and find a way to enter your Inner World.

Rewards: 1.400 Exp points.

Quest Mission: Achieved!]

'So, this is an extra reward without doing anything, huh.' Charles furrowed his brows and soon shifted his attention towards the other notification.

[Host has met the requirement to Rank Up!]

[There are two methods available for Host to Rank Up!

1. Host can consume an 'Ember Wizard' Class Gem and Rank Up by normal method. Success Rate: 85%

2. Host can use Experience points to Rank up the Main Class now.

Exp needed for Rank Up: 16,244 (3844 for Rank Up+ 12,400 for 'Ember Wizard' Class Gem.)

Success Rate: 89%.]

'Oh? Comparing to my previous Rank up, the success rate has been reduced by one percent.' He furrowed his brows and then checked the total amount of Exp from the status bar.

The next instant, he went dumbfounded.

' Wow, I currently have 34,313 Exp points. Well, I earned more than 15,000 Exp from those Orcs. So, it's not a surprising thing.' He nodded inwardly and poured 16,244 Exp points into the main class tab.

...

[Host has chosen the 2nd method for Rank Up!]

[12,400 Exp has been deduced for 'Ember Wizard' Class Gem!]

[3,844 Exp has been deduced for Rank-Up process!]

[Ember Wizard Class Obtained!]

[Ranking Up...]

...

A moment later, a sharp pain appeared from the depths of his mind, followed by countless needle stabbing pains!

Charles suddenly sensed that those pains were caused due to the forceful breaking of an invisible layer.

It was a layer that obstructed him from Rank-Up!

At that moment, his face also started to distort in pain.

His memories began to resurface one by one and soon disappeared into the depths of his mind.

They then started to turn gloomy and began to change into wicked ones!

With a simple glance, Charles knew that some foreign power was trying to alter his memories!

Fortunately, he already created an Incarnation, and it hurriedly started to work.

Whenever something variable appears in his memories, his 'Clone' would fly over and erase the memory from his Inner World.

Meanwhile, Charles sat with a paled expression for another two minutes and then opened his eyes.

"It's finally over." He spoke with a joyful expression on his face.

'But I didn't expect it would be hard to Rank Up.' He let out a deep sigh and glanced at the notification.

...
