Fire Mage (Web Novel)

Chapter 545: Bloodline Ability

A few minutes ago,

Charles opened his eyes in the Airship, glanced around cautiously, and frowned.

Instead of ordering the Genesis to gather information through the [Wisdom Link], he first dismissed the notification, removed the Monocle from his left eye, and shifted his attention towards his crystalline eye.

"The wisdom essence is still hidden in my left eye.' He took a deep breath, closed both eyes, focused his full attention on the crystalline eye, and moved all those 'wisdom essence' hidden in the left eye to the right one.

Like the last time, a change happened, and soon his [Eyes of the Runes] skill got upgraded into [Eye of the Runes] skill.

Simultaneously, a strange mutation took place in his left eye.

Charles waited until the strange mutation got completed and opened his eyes.

A second later, his crystalline eye showed him more than twenty unique sections of future visions!

"This is indeed an interesting change." At that moment, he felt that his body somehow awakened unique bloodline ability.

'Is this something to do with my [Trickster] Class?' A frown appeared on his face.

In truth, he had long learned that [Trickster] Class was not a Mage or Soul related aka Inner Class-gem path, but an outer Class-Gem path.

It involved strengthening one's body.

'Runeth also told me once that [Trickster] Class has some connection with a Warlock bloodline called 'High Human Bloodline.' This 'High Human' might be the peak level powerhouse of this Class and must have three unique skills like all other Class-Gem pathways. That must be why my left eye turned into a crystalline one during the previous upgrade.'

Charles always felt confused about his sub-class and unique skills.

Unlike the Fire Spell Models that appeared in his Inner World, these skills' origin looked mysterious.

For example, his [Shape-Shifting] skill seemed to have connected to his blood and flesh, but he couldn't tell how it worked to this day.

The same went for the [Multiple Vision] and [Hands of Wonder] skills.

But now, he vaguely guessed that these skills might have integrated with his blood and flesh instead!

'When I upgraded my [Eyes of the Runes] skill in Faith Realm, I saw multiple visions in my left eye and thought that my 'Left Eye' had some connection with the Dreamworld. But what I didn't think was how come I would get dream-related ability out of nowhere. That made no sense at all. No, I should've noticed it much earlier. Anyway, [ somehow awakened the true potential of the "High Human Bloodline' skill now. But I think this might be just a basic form, though.' He knew how Udnir could see countless futures simultaneously from a faraway galaxy and decided to improve it continuously.

'If I'm not wrong, I can only see 20 possible future visions now. That too has restrictions like I can't peek more than 10 seconds into the future. But if I want to improve further, I have to increase my 'Time' affinity." As for how he suddenly awakened this 'Eye-Power,' he had a guess.

'It has something to do with the current spell.’

When his consciousness got pulled into the 'Time-Loop' spell, Charles started gaining a minute amount of Future Time essence in the form of insight or information and closing the connection between his soul and his left eye!

That's how the crystalline eye managed to suppress the "Wisdom Essence' and took complete control over it.

'l can now understand why I couldn't comprehend the Wisdom Essence hidden in my left eye all these times.’

He shook his head and muttered.

'‘Genesis, show me my current body status.'

[Yes, Host.]

A synthetic voice appeared inside his head, followed by a row of data.

At that moment, he saw a unique skill name in the subclass section and became stunned inside.

'[Eye of the Faceless], huh? Moreover, it's just a basic form?' He furrowed his brows, soon dismissed the interface, and then thought of his [Hand of Wonder] skill.

'Will it also awaken and become more powerful or become one of my body parts like the eye? Maybe I can gain mutation in my hand to release those invisible threads? Wait. Will I need to get bitten by a spider or something?' He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

After some thoughts, he shook his head and decided to think about his current situation.

'‘After awakening this skill, I can see the world from different points of view. All these times, I thought that this [Time Loop] spell was an omniscient one, but I was wrong. It has weaknesses too. While I'm in this spell, I can't rely too much on Genesis's guidance help. In truth, Genesis gave me a suggestion to get out of the situation earlier, but if I had acted according to its suggestion, I might have gotten captured. Also, Genesis acts more like an Al from my former world. It will be helpful to some extent, but that's it.’

He nodded thoughtfully.

'Finally, it's about the Professor. He seemed to have already predicted my arrival earlier. But how did he achieve that? Did he find out my real identity already? No, it's almost impossible. After the first loop, I never showed my real face to anyone. And, Professor isn't aware of my existence until the last vision.'

'That means he somehow found a way to break this 'Time Loop' spell and started learning more about me... No, something isn't right. I'm the only one currently experiencing this "Time Loop,' right?' He felt uneasy all of a sudden.

'Earlier, Necromancer Brooks tried to capture me instead of killing me. Why? Did Professor even manage to infiltrate into my '"Time Loop' vision? If not, what can Professor achieve by capturing me in this Loop spell? Is he planning to break the 'Time Loop' spell? It is possible.' He nodded inwardly and fell into deep thoughts.

'In truth, I also want to break this [Time Loop] spell, but it's not the right time yet. If I want to win this future battle, I need all information.' Muttering inwardly, he waited patiently for the Airship to reach the City of Miracles.

A few minutes later, Charles walked out of the Airship through the illusionary staircase and entered the half-egg-shaped airport building.

He soon walked into the hallway, entered a tall-ceiling Luggage Hall, and soon noticed suitcases, trolleys, and sealed boxes were placed over there.

But unlike before, he focused his attention entirely on the unique reddish array circle.

At that moment, his left eye glowed in silvery light and revealed twenty future visions.

'Stepping on the array circle's particular area will cause explosions in the Airport?' He was momentarily stunned as he zeroed his gaze on one particular vision and took a few steps away from that place. Then, he entered the next hall, had gone through a strict security check-up, and was about to step out of the airport through the entrance but suddenly paused.

At that moment, his left eye once again glowed in silverly light and showed another series of future visions.

In most of those visions, he noticed that more than ten guards in black armor appeared out of nowhere as he walked towards Jessie and arrested him!

But what startled him was the appearance of the middle-aged guard named John in that group.

'No good. If I step outside, those guards will surround me for sure!' He glanced around warily and decided to back away.

He first moved closer to the nearby security guard and asked politely.

"Can you tell me where the restroom is, Sir?"

On the other hand, the security officer didn't find anything odd about his question, pointed his finger towards the right side corridor, and answered.

"Go in that direction, Mister. You'll find it at the end of the passageway.."
