Fire Mage (Web Novel)

Chapter 356: Construction

Simultaneously, a large reddish cube flew from the deepest part of Charles's Inner World and soon appeared next to him.

The next instant, the System Cube released a weak wisdom power towards him.

Shock and confusion appeared on Charles's face as he noticed the System Cube's action.

'Is it trying to communicate with me?' He raised his eyebrows in suspicion and soon noticed a strange white cloud was coming towards him.

With a single glance, he noticed that that strange cloud was an information fragment!

Although Charles got startled by the System Cube's sudden action, he didn't lose his calmness and accepted the cloud.

In a few seconds, the white cloud appeared in front of his forehead, entered inside, and soon released waves of information.

The next instant, a sharp pain appeared in his head.

But what shocked him was that he noticed an eerie black imprint appeared in the deepest part of his mind.

The imprint was hexagonal and appeared more like an eerie black sun!

'What is this?' He focused his full attention on the imprint and noticed mysterious streaks of fire appeared all over it!

There were tens of thousands of streaks in the hexagonal imprint, and they appeared more like countless black snakes tangled together.

'T-This is the 'Curse of the Overlord' spell model imprint?' He also received another piece of information from the System Cube and soon learned how to construct the Spell Model!

In truth, all these black fire streaks were the pure form of wicked flames.

'Unlike Rank 1 to Rank-4 spells, I need to construct a Rank-5 spell on my own. I also can't rely on the runal characters. The main reason for that was those runal characters didn't have true flame essences. If I follow the runal language method to construct a spell model, I would never understand the true essence of the wicked flame and might fail to advance next time.' As he read the new information, a look of understanding appeared on his face.

'Actually, the system helped me during the previous advancements and paved the right path to walk on. Alas, this is the limit of the Game System. From now on, I need to rely on my own.' Charles nodded his head in understanding and soon flew towards a particular spell model.

Unlike the other ones, this spell model appeared blackish red and gave him a feeling of wickedness.

Once he arrived in front of the spell model, he raised his hand, conjured a ball of black flame, and manipulated it into a shape of a snake.

Simultaneously, he shifted his attention towards the spell model imprint, focused on a single streak, and started to imitate its shape and structure.

At that moment, the snake-shaped black fire began to twist and soon started to shrink.

The black fire completely changed into an eerie streak of fire within the next few seconds and then started to slither around him.

It was as if this single streak had a consciousness on its own!

'No… This streak is moving according to my thoughts.' Charles nodded in understanding, controlled it using his thoughts, and let it move towards the Black Inferno spell model.

Meanwhile, the fire streak soon entered the spell model and mingled with it.

Then, Charles once again shifted his attention towards the spell model imprint and started conjuring another ball of black flame.

For the next few minutes, he continued to conjure black fireballs, turned them into wicked flame streaks, and started assimilating them into the spell model.

As he continued this process, he felt a strange link between the spell model imprint and the spell model.

His sense heightened all of a sudden, so was his thinking process.

At that moment, he entered the state of enlightenment.

He then shifted his attention towards the spell model imprint, analyzed it, and soon learned that constructing this spell model would take more time.

'I was wrong earlier… There are more wicked flame streaks than I thought…' He continued to analyze the imprint and soon turned serious.

'No good! There are more than three hundred thousand wicked flame streaks hidden in the imprint.' A shock appeared on his face.

He instantly knew that it would take more than three months to construct this spell model!

'Sh*t! Do I have to stop now?' A grim look appeared on his face.

He instantly shook his head and turned his gaze towards the System Cube.

'It seems I have to rely on the System's help now.' He muttered inwardly and activated the [Decelerate Time] ability.

The next instant, his whole surroundings turned silent.

He also felt it hard to move his illusionary body!

'Good.'

Charles then shifted his attention towards the imprint and started constructing the spell model.

Five days later, the first [Decelerate Time] ability's effect got nullified and soon returned everything to normal.

But Charles once again activated the [Decelerate Time] ability, slowed down the 'Time flow' in his Inner World, and continued to construct the spell model.

At the end of the 43rd day, he used all the 8 [Decelerate Time] abilities and finished constructing more than half of the spell model!

Although 43 days passed in his Inner World, only a few minutes passed in the Fire Elemental Plane!

Meanwhile, Charles continued to create wicked flame streaks and constructed the spell model.

Unlike before, the current half-constructed Wicked Flame Spell Model appeared more than 15-meter radius and started to emit radiations in all directions!

What's more shocking was that the spell model was continuously increasing in size!

Time passed slowly, and soon it was the 85th day!

On this day, Charles finally constructed the [Curse of the Overlord] spell model and put the final wicked flame streak in the spell model.

The next instant, the final wicked flame streak entered the eerie black sun-like spell model and mingled with others.

Simultaneously, the whole 25-meter radius mini black sun let out a dazzling eerie light and sent black flares in all directions.

Some flares even moved towards his Inner World and caused changes in the environment.

On the other hand, Charles looked at the newly constructed spell model and showed a pleased smile on his face.

'This spell model is the true essence of the Wicked Flame.' He nodded inwardly and descended towards the ground.

At that moment, the System Cube also descended from the sky and moved towards the deepest part.

Meanwhile, Charles returned to the ground and soon left his Inner World.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, checked the surrounding rocky cavern, and soon turned his attention towards his body.

Although he hadn't eaten anything for the past 42 days, he didn't feel any hunger at all.

'It must be due to the body advancement.' He thought to himself and stood up from the ground.

Then, he walked out of the cavern, cast [Flame Teleportation] spell on himself, and enveloped his body in a crimson flame.

A second later, he disappeared from the cavern entrance and reappeared inside his newly rented house in the City of Red!
