Fire Mage Chapter 292

"That's me." Charles grinned as he saw the shocked Omen.

On the other hand, Omen moved back a little and stared at Charles in wariness.

'N-No! D-Divine One said that Charles wouldn't show up at this moment!' His mind went chaos for a moment.

'Something is not right. I came here to lure the smart girl out of this mansion and eliminate her stealthily... But why did Charles appear here all of a sudden? Is this a trap?' He abruptly stopped his thinking and muttered.

"Mind Illusion."

The next instant, his figure turned blurry and disappeared from everyone's eyes!

"Did he teleport?" Jessie widened her eyes in surprise.

"It appears so. He sure is good at hiding." Destiny Lady dispersed her bloody ice sword and spoke.

'Good at hiding...' Jessie turned her gaze towards the nearby broken ice and raised her eyebrows.

"I have a way to track him down." She said while walking towards the broken ice, which was covered in blood droplets, and took a piece of it.

Then, she let a single drop of blood fell on her palm and activated her [Blood Curse] skill.

A moment later, the drop of blood turned into a stream of red light and absorbed into her hand.

The next second, Jessie felt a faint connection with the owner of this blood droplet!

She then looked in the northern direction, pointed her finger at the dark sky, and spoke.

"He is flying that way!"

Her words shocked both Charles and Destiny Lady.

In truth, both of them had long used their wisdom power to search the surroundings to find where Omen was hiding.

Unfortunately, not a single anomaly appeared in the surroundings, which made them puzzled inside!

If not for Jessie vaguely sensing his presence with the help of blood curse, they wouldn't even have found a single clue about where he was going!

Jessie soon flapped her transparent wings, flew up in the sky, and took the lead.

Although it was dangerous to chase after Omen, she felt that it was worth a shot.

'Moreover, Destiny Lady and our Teacher's grandson are here with me. If I'm not wrong, both of them are powerful Mystics and also good at handling these types of enemies.' She thought to herself.

On the other hand, a hesitant look appeared on Charles's face.

He pondered for a moment, flapped his crimson wings, and followed after Jessie.

Unlike him, Destiny Lady didn't hesitate to flap her crystalline wings and shot towards the northern direction.

"Where is he going now?" Charles soon flew beside Jessie and asked.

But before she could answer, Destiny Lady arrived on his right side and spoke with a smile.

"It seems you have matured a little during these past few months, Charles."

"It's been a while, Miss Natalia. I've been worried about your health condition during the past few months." Charles spoke with a smile.

An amused expression appeared on her face.

She then sized him up and down and asked.

"Did the old man also come back?"

'If he is already in the mansion, then we can chase after Omen without any worry.' She thought.

As if Charles had read her mind, he nodded his head and answered.

"Yes. You don't have to worry about the kids' safety."

At this moment, Jessie suddenly stopped in mid-air, looked around the dark sky, and showed a confused look on her face.

"He seems to have landed on the next street... He is going by foot?" She tilted her head in puzzlement.

She then descended from the sky, landed on the street road, and went towards the right side alley.

On the other hand, Charles and Destiny Lady also landed on the ground and followed after her.

The three of them followed after Omen for the next two hours and finally noticed that the other party was up to something.

Although they managed to locate him three times during their search, Omen used his illusion-type skill and escaped like a slippery eel.

Even the morning sun had long ascended from the eastern sky!

"He seems to be going towards the Slum District direction. If he enters there, it will be even more difficult to find him." Jessie said in a grim tone.

"No. It will be impossible to capture or kill him while he is hiding in the city," Charles spoke coldly, took out the [Stone of Fear] artifact from his space ring, and activated it.

Meanwhile, Omen also noticed that he was being followed by Charles and others and started to get anxious.

Although he was good at manipulating others' minds, he wasn't strong enough to face Charles head-on.

'As long as I move to the nearby woods, I will have a chance to eliminate Jessie.' He recalled the Divine One's words and began to think of a plan.

But as time passes, an unknown fear appeared in his mind.

By the time he arrived near the Slum District, he had made a mistake due to fear, loosened his guard a little, and revealed his location to others!

At that moment, Charles and the other two instantly attacked him from afar and started cornering him.

Because of their sudden attacks, Omen had no choice but to fly away from the city while concealing his body in illusion!

Charles and others continued to chase after the invisible Omen, flew across the Merchants' District, and finally crossed the city wall.

They then flew past the city outskirts and moved to the nearby woods.

The old mansion, Rodsley Street, Nobles' District.

It was around 7 A.M.

At this moment, Rhea walked out of her room in her coronation dress and looked at herself in the outside mirror.

Her coronation dress was made of white satin and embroidered with gold and silver threads and pastel-colored silks. It was further decorated with seed pearls and crystals, which create a glittering lattice-work effect.

Currently, her outer appearance looks more like a real Queen!

Meanwhile, Noel and Titus also walked out of their rooms in their formal dress and stared at Rhea in surprise.

"How is my dress?" Rhea asked with a smile on her face.

Unlike before, Noel felt a sense of unfamiliarity as he saw her in that dress.

Although it was a very weak feeling, he couldn't help but feel puzzled by it.

'Is this due to her going to become the Queen of Iron Kingdom?' He muttered inwardly.

Meanwhile, Titus didn't find anything odd and responded with a nod.

"It looks good on you."

Saying so, he moved his gaze towards the nearby door and knocked on it thrice.

But even after two minutes of waiting, no response came from the other side!

"She must be still chatting with Lady Natalia on the building's terrace. Can you go and bring her here, Titus? The coronation ceremony will start at 8 A.M. We have to hurry up." Rhea said in a solemn tone.

But just as Titus was about to turn around, a servant ran on the corridor and shouted.

"Your Highness, Ancient Mage is waiting for you at the reception hall!"
