Chapter 564 Syreni

Chapter 564: Syreni

Charles soon returned to his usual self and decided not to probe this strange owl's real identity.

He then let out a deep sigh and answered Arayn's question.

"It's similar to the 'Time Recall' spell. I want your help to eliminate the Destiny Conquerors and end this grand scheme. If not, these guys will get in my way for sure." He deliberated for a moment and added.

"I'm also after another person named 'Fate Professor.' I suspect he is the main culprit behind this whole assassination plot."

Meanwhile, Silvia looked at Charles for a second and soon shook her head.

"Eliminate the Destiny Conquerors? You are not even a Legend Rank powerhouse, mister? Do you even know the true strength of that organization?" Silvia asked coldly. Her wisdom eyes indeed showed her that his strength was on par with Legend rank powerhouse.

But she still felt the person in front of her was nothing but a weakling like her.

Meanwhile, Charles leaned his back on the soft couch and answered calmly.

"I already killed one of the sixteen Destiny Conquerors, Miss Silvia. And I do have some information about this group." He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued.

"First on my hit list is a guy named Mateo. He is a Rune Mage and has a powerful trump card called 'Wizard's Cube.' Although I've no information about this artifact, I highly suspect it is an intellectual artifact. He is staying in 56A Long Street, Underground District's northern side..."

"Second: Gabriel. He is a Fire Mage like me and mastered Soul Fire to an incredible level. He didn't have any incredible artifacts, but he seemed to have some unique abilities that could even pose a serious threat to powerful Ancient Beings. Although nobody knows where he lives, he regularly comes to the 'Mary's Milk' Bar and enjoys his mortal life.

Third: Joshua...,

Fourth: Cooper...,

Fifth: Everette...,

Sixth: Xavier...,

Seventh: Silas...,

Eighth: Axel...,

Ninth: Jose...,

Tenth: Beau...,

Eleventh: Hazel...,

Twelfth: Conner...,

Thirteenth: Adam...,

Fourteenth: Violet...,

And finally, their leader 'Asher-"

As Charles said the Destiny Conquerors organization leader's name, the black owl suddenly turned stiff and gave him a sharp look.

"You even knew her name?" It asked in the same feminine tone. Clearly, the black owl was impressed by the information and looked at him in shock.

Meanwhile, Charles also stopped midway and asked in surprise.

"Her? Asher is a girl?"

In truth, he got all this information from Wisdom-Link with the help of Genesis.

When Jessie was assassinating the 'Fate Professor's carriage driver at 7.19 A.M, Charles tried to use the 'Wisdom Link' and soon found out it was working inside the Miracle City!

Not wasting such a good opportunity, he decided to gather all the information about the Destiny Conquerors. Moreover, he even collected some vital information from Brook's Inner World and managed to form a detailed report about each Destiny Conqueror.

'But even the Wisdom Link has little information about this 'Destiny Conqueror's leader.'

At that moment, he felt that this black owl was also shrouded by full of mysteries.

In the meantime, the owl kept staring into Charles's eyes and asked.

"How did you find out her real identity? Even Demigod Rafael knew of her real name, though."

"Secret." Charles also decided not to reveal too much information about him and calmly looked back at the owl.

A strange silence appeared inside the room.

After a long silence, the black owl made a strange hoot noise and spoke.

"Tell me what you know about Asher."

On the other hand, Charles nodded and answered while shaking his head.

"Nothing much. I heard that Asher's abilities are related to blood, and that's it."

At that moment, Jessie furrowed her eyebrows and asked.

"Could it be she also chose [Blood Manipulator] Class?"

But Charles shook his head in disapproval.

"She was a powerful being born during the Ancient Era. But at that time, the mysterious 'Time Angel' hasn't even created the Class-Gem pathway."

At that moment, Silvia thought of something and spoke with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Then, she might be a Syreni Warlock. I once explored the Tower of Mirrors and learned that an evil Chaotic Race called 'Syreni' lived during the Ancient Era and controlled the sea and sea-based lands. And, I heard that these Syrenis were well-versed in blood-related abilities and worshipped a Chaotic Goddess."

Just as she spoke, Charles turned his gaze toward Jessie and looked at her status.

'Is it related to her blood-related skill: Siren's eyes? Wait, I heard that sirens are mythological evil creatures living in the sea and are depicted as beautiful women with tails of fish... Ezra also said about this 'Syreni Race' and even depicted their appearance as similar to mermaids...'

"It seems we are after a powerful being this time." He paused as he thought of something, looked at Sylvia, and asked.

"Do you have a way to contact 'Demigod Rafael' and inform him about this Destiny Conquerors organization's leader? We can solve this grand scheme in less than a few minutes if he lends us a hand."

"Unfortunately, Demigod Rafael isn't in the Miracle City right now, Mr. Charles. He is currently staying in Abyss and will take more than 5 to 6 hours to reach here." Silvia shook her head and responded.

"Demigod Rafael isn't here? Impossible." At that moment, Charles recalled the beginning warning message and frowned.

'The message clearly said that 'Steal the 'Draught of the Phoenix' potion from the Miracle's museum hall and escape under the watchful eyes of three Demigods.' I thought the three Demigods were Rafael, Miguel, and Emerson. But now, I highly suspect another Demigod level is hiding in the shadows and watching everyone's movement...'

'Who is it? Destiny Conqueror organization's leader Asher? Or someone else?'

As he was in deep thought, Charles suddenly received a piece of information through the 'purple word' spell and turned her gaze toward the entrance.

'When Professor thought about me a while ago, I saw a glimpse of memory showing a food stall name 'Quick Bite.' He seems to be pissed right now.'

He instantly turned his gaze toward Jessie and asked.

"Do you know where the 'Quick Bite' food stall is located?"

Surprised by his sudden question, Jessie looked puzzled at first and soon closed her eyes.

Then, she activated her [Mind Storm] skill and recreated the whole Miracle City blueprint in her mind. After that, she skimmed through all the street food stall names in two seconds and answered.

"It's located two streets away from Rocky Street, Mister. We can reach there in 7 minutes if we go by carriage."

Just as she spoke, Arayn also turned its head towards Jessie and blinked its eyes.

"Hooot, that Fate Professor is on his way here."

"Are you sure?"

Charles wasn't surprised by Arayn's words and asked.

At that moment, his mind started to work at an incredible speed.

'How did he find us so soon? Didn't I mislead him? Did something happen?'

"He must have seen Ezra along the way. I told you it's not safe to use his identity often." At that moment, Silvia turned her gaze toward the black owl and glared at it.

"I didn't do it intentionally! I thought they would overlook everything and go away sooner." The black owl protested.

On the other hand, Charles turned his gaze towards the Secret Witch and the mysterious Owl and furrowed his brows.

"You know Ezra?" He couldn't help but feel something was wrong with the whole situation.

'Who is Ezra anyway? Although I absorbed most of his memories, I didn't find a clue about his connection with any of these two. From what I heard from Gatekeeper Windson Grey, he is nothing more than an arrogant punk who happens to have some connection with some security guards. But something feels off about him for sure.'

Upon hearing his question, Silvia didn't think much and answered.

"Well, he did come here often and meet Teacher once or twice a week-" She abruptly paused as she thought of the strangeness and quickly asked.

"How do you know him?"

At that moment, everyone in the room realized something wasn't right and slowly looked at Arayn.
