Fire Mage Chapter 106

'Assassination, is it?' A smile crept on Charles's face as he thought of a daring plan.

In an instant, he released the space seal and waited for the other party to send a scout.

Precisely forty-five minutes later, the unique emerald-gem-like leaf began to shine, and soon a humanoid figure appeared in the center of the underground basement!

But unlike the other Night Goblins, the goblin that appeared was more ferocious and gave off the feeling of superiority!

It was around 2 meters tall, with shade skin, a huge belly, and two red horns on the sides of the forehead. The moment it landed on the floor, it took off the red-painted metal scythe from its back, gripped it tighter, and swiftly slashed it towards all the surroundings!

Fortunately, Charles had already perceived the danger and backed away.

'Oh, they sent a very powerful one this time.' He was indeed startled by the other party's swift decision.

'Mr. Runeth, seal the leaf.' He took out the Starfall Codex magic book from his space ring, flipped it to the 12th page, and ordered.

At the exact moment, he cast [Fire Seed] spell on the creature and checked its status.

'Oh? It has War Guard Class and combat-related skills.' The corner of his lips curled upward as he crouched down a little and dashed towards it at a fast speed. Although the other party sent a powerful brute goblin to tackle him, Charles wasn't afraid of a mere goblin.

A cruel smirk appeared on the ugly Night Goblin's face as it twisted the scythe and raised it.

When it was about to slash it towards the enemy, suddenly it stopped its hand.

No, it forgot how to slash the scythe!

Without missing such good opportunity, Charles appeared right beside the shade-skin goblin, gripped his dagger hilt tighter, and smacked it on its nape with a full force!

Due to the sudden attack, the creature stumbled forward, regained its sense a little, and tried to move its hand again. Meanwhile, Charles raised his hand again and smacked the hilt on the creature's nape.

At that moment, the monstrous Night Goblin's eyes turned darker and darker, and soon it fell on the floor, leaving a thudding sound behind.

In two seconds, he defeated the monstrous goblin!

Meanwhile, Charles breathed out a sigh of relief and started binding it with a robe. After that, he controlled the [Fire Seed] spell and started burning its memories.

'Lava Sea... Twilight Land... Miners' Den... Volcanoes... Magma Fiend...Crimson Birds...Slaves...Language of Scars... Night Shaman Lexer... Secret reciting method to pass through the Traveler Tree's Leaf...' Pieces of information about the Fire Elemental Plane and other things appeared in Charles's mind.

'So, the real owner is a slave goblin, huh. He found the other leaf when he was mining and became its owner. At first, he didn't tell anyone and explored the Dreamworld on his own. But somehow, his secret got exposed and he was brought to his clan head. After some trials and errors, the Night Goblin Leader found out the secrets of Dreamworld and even thought of snatching the leaf from the slave goblin. But he feared that the strange leaf might disappear permanently if he kills the slave goblin and thought of using him as a tool. Under the order of the Rank-3 Goblin Leader, this slave goblin helped the other Night Goblins to explore the Dreamworld and eventually became a freed goblin.'

After skimming through the information, Charles swiftly killed the muscular goblin creature, gained 650 Exp points, and soon frowned.

'Did the goblins not know anything about mind-related abilities? If they knew, they wouldn't have sent a brute goblin, right?'

Shaking his head, Charles discussed his problem with the Holem's Crown and asked a question.

'Mr. Runeth, what would happen if I use the special chanting method to go to the other side?' He felt that there must be some restrictions in interplanetary space travel and became more cautious.

'You will face planar restrictions in a minute or two and will feel discomfort and pain. You might also face difficulty when casting spells. No, you haven't created the elemental heart, so I think you wouldn't be able to cast your magic spell at all.' The Holem's Crown said in a serious tone.

'One or two minutes... If I still couldn't kill the owner at that particular time, I might get locked in that plane forever. Moreover, I would be in enemy's den.' Charles instantly dismissed that reckless idea from his mind.

But at that moment, the Holem's Crown made a coughing noise and revealed one of its secrets to him.

Charles patiently listened to its words for the next two minutes and soon grew confident.

'Hehe, it seems I have to go alone this time.' He nodded his head, placed the black cane on the ground, changed his appearance into his young self, and started to recite the secret incantation.

Moris Fire Elemental Plane, Twilight Land.

In this Moris Fire Elemental plane, many powerful races like Magma Fiends, Lava Giants, Magmins, Ember Gnomes, Crimson Birds, and Red Lizards stood on the top food chain. They ruled the different parts of the world by dividing the territories.

In such land, there was one place that had constantly been bathed by blood and fire. Large-scale battles and invasions were always common in this land. Some call it Death Zone, while others say it was a Forbidden Land. But the creatures who live in this land gave this land a unique name, Twilight Land. This land was so beautiful yet so sad.

At the edge of the Twilight land was filled with tall volcanoes and beyond that was a red ocean filled with pure lavas!

Between the volcanic mountains and the ocean of lavas, there stood a city.

It's called Miners' Den. It was a place filled with inferior races and slaves.

Volcanic ashes constantly spew out from the nearby volcanic mountains' mouths, rose to the sky, and soon descended to the area where the small city was located.

In this Miners' Den, Night Goblins, Lava Orcs, and Red Humans were the largest group and had some strong backgrounds compared to other races. The people in this city mainly spent their life in the mines and lived their everyday lives. Yes, most of them were slaves of a particular Magma Fiend!

Sixty years ago, a Rank-1 Magma Fiend was exiled from its homeland called Fiery Desert and was sent here to repent its mistake of being born with three eyes. This Twilight Land accepted this young Fiend named Garath and gave him a new future. There was also a rumor spreading all over the place that this young Fiend was the Twilight Land's blessed child!

Due to the blessing of the land, he rose from a Rank-1 Fire Imp to a Rank-4 Ember Shadow in just 50 years. In those years, Garath fought many battles, killed thousands of Lava Orcs, and even gained the title of Elemental Demon!

He was the ruler of this Miners' Den City!

In the small city, there stood a small mansion in the northern part. Unlike other hut-like houses and stone mansions, this mansion was entirely built by molten lava.

It belongs to one of Garath's subordinates called Maris.

In the isolated secret chamber deep under the lava mansion, tens of goblins in different armors stood there silently and stared at a single emerald gem-like leaf attached to a small gate. Although the bright fire stones illuminated the chamber, the secret chamber still looked gloomier due to the darkness.

"Why there hasn't been any response from the other side?" A one-meter-tall Night Goblin in a black robe-like dress stood twenty meters away from the small gate and asked in an impatient tone.

It had crimson eyes, short ears, red-lined skin, and appeared very old. Although it was the shortest among all the goblins in the yard, no one dared to look into its eyes. It was Maris's most trusted slave, Laxer!

After a short silence, a tall black-armored goblin spoke in an anxious tone.

"Did something happen to Brother Gield?"

"He has been on the other side for more than two hours. It looks like we need to wait for Lord Maris's further orders. As long as I'm the owner of this leaf, no one can enter from the other side." The short goblin named Lexer said in a confident tone.

At the exact moment, Lexer suddenly saw that the green leaf started to shine in dim light and curled its black lips into a wicked grin.
