Fire Mage (Web Novel)

Chapter 315: Evil

Once he was done, Charles picked up the injured Saron, moved to the nearby private room, and locked her in.

Then, he returned to the reception hall and ordered Elder Anthony to summon other family members.

Thankfully, Elder Anthony retained all other memories about Charles, which made his job easier.

Although some of his memories appeared blank, he didn't ask anything as he recalled the battle in Fire Domain and obeyed.

Surprisingly, Isaiah also co-operated with Charles and moved towards the second floor to bring his family members.

A few minutes later, he returned with his wife Ariel and his only son Raiden.

For the next few hours, Charles stayed in the four-storied mansion and erased everyone's memories about Saron.

He then went to the neighborhood houses and did his work patiently.

He erased the memories of servants, maids, horsemen, guards, wisdom church members, and a few noble ladies who had close ties with Saron!

He even went to the registration office and erased some of Saron's identity records!

'But completing erasing any information about her in this city is impossible… But it doesn't matter. All that matters now is whether she takes the bait or not.' He thought to himself and returned to the mansion building.

Then, he entered the building, went to the private room, and unlocked it.

Currently, a young woman sat in the corner of the small room and looked at the ceiling with a blank look on her face.

Upon noticing his arrival, she turned her gaze and looked at Charles with an emotionless look on her face.

"D-Did you really erase my family members' memories?" Her voice appeared hoarse.

Before he could even nod, tears burst out of her eyes!

She then knelt on the ground and shouted in a grieving tone.

"P-Please k-kill me!"

On the other hand, Charles watched her coldly and shook his head.

"See you in a few months."

Saying so, he turned around, walked out of the private room, and returned to the reception room.

At that moment, Elder Anthony stood up from the chair, bowed his head politely before asking.

"Is everything over, Your Excellency? Who is she anyway?"

A serious look appeared on Charles's face as he heard Elder Anthony's question.

"She is a wanted criminal and also specialized in manipulating memories. During the past few months, she seemed to be planning to plot something big in this city. Thankfully, I managed to arrive here in time and sealed her powers. Don't worry; she hasn't done anything to your family or the citizens, yet." Charles paused for a moment and then added.

"She is nothing but a crippled woman now. Send her to your family Mining Cave and let her work over there from now on."

"Why not kill her now, Your Excellency? What if she regains her power?" Elder Anthony asked with a frown.

"That's why I'm planning to leave her under your control, Mr. Anthony. If she does something suspicious, arrest her and put her in the dungeon prison cell for a few days. As for killing her, you absolutely can't do that. This woman has a big background. Even though her family members banished her, killing her will anger them."

Charles also warned him not to believe any of her words and then left the mansion.

Then, he moved to the nearby dark alley, cast [Flame Teleportation] spell on himself, and disappeared from there.

…

Meanwhile, Saron stayed motionlessly in the private room for the next few hours and sensed pain from all over her body.

She then searched for her space ring but soon sighed in disappointment.

'He even took my space ring. My strength is also declining.'

At that moment, anger appeared on her face.

'I'll never forgive you, Charles.' Just as she was about to stand up, some opened the wooden door from the other side.

She turned her head in a hurry and soon saw her mother, father, grandfather, brother, and a few other relatives were looking at her in curiosity and wariness from outside.

"M-Mom!" She raised her head and shouted in surprise but soon went pale.

At that moment, she noticed an invisible power assaulted her.

It was her grandfather who attacked her with his wisdom power!

"You are not allowed to talk to anyone from now on." A familiar voice echoed in her ears.

But she sensed unfriendliness in that voice and trembled uncontrollably.

'He indeed did erase everyone's memories!' She couldn't help but look at his family members' faces.

Before she could even say another word, Elder Anthony spoke again.

"Get out of the mansion. A squad of soldiers will escort you to the Simon Woods. You will be working at the Iron Mine from now on."

Upon hearing those words, Saron lowered her head in grief and nodded.

Although she could escape now, she didn't want to.

'M-My family…' She subconsciously glanced at her younger brother but soon retracted her gaze as she saw him flinch.

A pain appeared in her heart.

Even his mother stared at her with cautiousness!

She felt like someone was piercing her heart with countless needles.

Without any choice, she lowered her head, walked out of the mansion with a broken hand, and soon saw an old carriage at the entrance.

At that moment, tens of soldiers stood around it and seemed to be ready for an escort.

A heavy sigh leaked out of Saron's mouth as she arrived near the carriage, opened the door, and walked in.

Meanwhile, the coachman whipped the horses and started driving the carriage.

The escort group moved out of the mansion, entered Nobles' Street, and soon disappeared from everyone's eyes.

At that moment, Saron's mother felt some pain in her heart.

It was as if she suddenly lost something precious!

But that feeling soon washed away as she heard her husband's earlier words.

She and others watched the entrance for some time and soon returned to the mansion house.

…

Meanwhile, the escort group left the Perley City, moved to the Simon Woods, and soon reached a large mountain range.

The carriage then stopped in front of a small village.

Saron then walked out of the carriage, glanced around, and turned solemn.

Tens of small leather huts, cottages, and even some brick houses appeared at the other end of the settlement.

Hundreds of collared slaves were moving in and out of the nearby mountain cave while carrying heavy loads of rocks.

Iron Mine!

It was a place filled with war soldiers, thieves, murderers, rapists, and many other criminals.

As she looked at the village in contemplation, a leather-armored soldier walked near her, gave her a leather bag full of old clothes, and spoke.

"From now on, you will be responsible for cleaning the minerals and doing other chore works here. If you have any doubts, you can ask Lady Alaia."

Saying so, he led her into the village and started arranging a small hut for her.

Although Saron had the power to escape, she didn't even try.

She accepted the punishment and started doing her work regularly.

Two weeks passed in a blink.

Most of the time, she spent her time in the large house and cleaned the newly unearthed gems and minerals.

As usual, she spent her time in the storage hall till dusk, gave the cleaned gems to the supervisor, and finally left the house.

As she walked on the dirt road, whistles and vulgar words echoed from all the street corners.

Without minding their shouts, she walked past multiple houses, huts, and tents and soon arrived in front of a small hut.

She then shuffled through her pocket, took out an iron key, and opened the wooden door.

Saron soon entered the room, locked the wooden door from inside, and looked at the darkroom.

She then moved towards the nearby shelf, took out a matchstick, and lighted the fire torch.

The next instant, bright yellow light illuminated the small hut!

Currently, there was only a single stone slab, a mud pot, a plate, and one leather bag appeared in the small space.

Saron glanced at those things and soon turned her gaze towards the center of the hut.

A mysterious, eerie circle with strange engravings appeared in her vision!

Upon seeing this, she subconsciously opened her mouth and muttered.

"Consciousness Shift."

The next instant, the corner of her lips curled upward and formed into a wicked smile.

It was as if she had turned into a completely different woman.

"It's a play of Devils." An evil smirk appeared on Saron's face.

She then stepped forward, moved towards the mysterious circle's center, and started to whisper in an ancient language.

"I call upon the Ancient Lord of the Hell,

In the true name of Zaralloth Uth'tiuth Dorkukas Mangrellauth Bronnaxon,

I seek your help,

Help your loyal servant to awake,

Help me rise from the thousand-year-old sleep,

Break forth from the grave eternally.

I'll sacrifice a million souls for you,

Help me rise again from the river of Blood.

I'm the Queen of Blood Fiends,

I'm the pure form of wickedness and evilness.

I bring forth the ancient evil…"

Her voice turned eerie as she continued to chant in Devil's tongue.

The fire torch would flicker whenever she ended her verse and send out mysterious bluish sparks towards the magic circle!

A pure evil aura filled with wickedness appeared in the small hut!
