Chapter 588 Control



Chapter 588: Control

But just as Anangu was about to reveal her presence and destroy the 'Fate Domain' spell, the 'Time' started to move backward in that particular zone!

In an eerie twist of fate, the severed head of the Fate Professor rejoined his headless corpse, and the blood splattered around him returned to his body.

At the same time, Anangu also forgot what had happened earlier and remained in the same position while waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Fate Professor.

Meanwhile, a smile appeared on Fate Professor's face.

Even though he had lost all his six senses, his mind acted calmly and entered a state of absolute focus.

'When the enemy attacked me earlier, I first felt a spiritual disturbance from my right-side neck.' While thinking, he suddenly bent down and dodged the slash.

But before he could regain all his senses, a sudden spiritual disturbance came from his nape.

At that moment, an eerie blackish aura-covered dagger appeared above Professor's nape and decapitated him neatly.

Like before, his head slowly fell and started rolling on the floor while spattering blood.

As Professor's eyes were about to close, the 'Time' in the surrounding zone began to move backward.

Like the last time, a similar thing happened.

But unlike before, Professor bent his waist and dodged Anangu's first attack.

'The enemy's next will attacks come from above.'

Without waiting for a moment, he suddenly leaped forward like a bullet and soon crashed onto the invisible wall-like structure.

But simultaneously, he cast a skill called 'Destiny Shield' and nullified the six senses' effects.

His vision, hearing, and other senses slowly returned to normal.

Only then did he realize that he had crashed into City Core's defensive shield.

But Professor still couldn't find the origin of this unknown enemy.

'It's a spell that could erase the caster's history from the opponent, huh? I indeed read about such a unique spell but never seen it in person.' As he muttered, he took out a green candle from his pocket and lit it.

"You wanna play hide and seek with me?" He asked coldly and placed the candle on the floor.

At the same time, he took out a piece of paper and a unique pen and started writing a few words.

Even though he appeared unguarded then, Anangu knew the opponent had already laid a trap around him.

While she was contemplating, Fate Professor moved the paper towards the candle and burnt it.

"Serendipity." He said calmly and soon turned his gaze towards his right side.

For a second, a flash of surprise appeared on Anangu's face.

"You are good." A cold voice came from space, followed by a strange ripple.

A moment later, an auburn-haired young woman suddenly appeared a few feet away from Fate Professor and stared at him curiously.

"You lost." Fate Professor said calmly and then added.

"Reverse Fate-Explode."

Anangu felt her heart tighten a second later, followed by increased blood flow. Not only that, but she noticed some strange power-causing mutation all over her body.

It was Anangu's blood spell!

Within two seconds, her body bulged like a balloon and soon exploded, splashing flesh, blood, bones, and brain matter in all directions.

"That's what happens when you don't understand whom you are messing with-" His face stiffened before he could finish his sentence.

At that moment, he saw all the blood gathered together, soon forming into a small, blob-like thing.

A heartbeat later, the blood blob began to hover in the air and soon formed into an appearance of an auburn-haired young woman.

"Surprised?" She made a wide grin and turned her gaze towards the left side.

"How long are you going to hide in the Astral Plane, Charles? Didn't you promise me that you will help me?"

A chuckle came from space, and soon a crimson humanoid flame started to appear before forming into an appearance of a young man in his twenties.

In the meantime, Professor's face turned grim.

Although he vaguely sensed Charles hadn't died completely due to the presence of his domain, he didn't expect that he still appeared good as new.

Before Professor could act, he forgot what to do next.

At that moment, Charles walked calmly towards Professor while continuously casting [Burning Thoughts], [Knowledge Seeker], [Fire Seed], [Purple Consciousness], and even [Curse of the Overlord] spells on him and asked.

"He is just a clone, but why he does he have an inner World?"

Meanwhile, Anangu raised her eyebrows and shook her head.

"There are hundreds of methods to split one's soul, mortal. And, the easiest way is to replace any mortal's original Consciousness and take over his soul core." While speaking, she suddenly disappeared from where she stood and reappeared behind Fate Professor while touching his back.

"Blood Bind," "Blood Curse," "Blood Acolyte." "Domain Break."

As she spoke, dense crimson smoke came out of nowhere and encircled Fate Professor's body. Not only that, Charles noticed that this strange smoke was constantly seeping deep into his soul and corrupting him.

But just as Fate Professor was about to be completely defeated, his eyelids started to twitch. The strange mirror in his hand suddenly fell and broke into multiple pieces.

Simultaneously, Charles and Anangu sensed that some mysterious power came out of the mirror and erased all the spells on Fate Professor.

It was the Mirror Artifact's spell similar to the 'Destiny Shield.'

A moment later, he blinked his eyes, instantly used the 'Accelerate' ability, and disappeared from there.

No, he moved incredibly fast and appeared more than 20 feet away from Charles and Anangu.

'Sh*t! I'm only a Pseudo-Legendary Mystic while Charles is already a Legendary Powerhouse. At that moment, my Fate Domain spell is also nullified by that woman. F*ck, that auburn-haired woman has some mysterious divine abilities. Do I have no choice but to self-destruct?' He couldn't help but get annoyed a little.

At that moment, Charles suddenly shook his head and started to speak.

"Professor, why are we fighting? I'm not your enemy, though. Can't we talk this through and resolve it peacefully? The reason I'm here was to get my hand on the Affinity Potion but I had already achieved my goal." His words were sincere and pure.

For a moment, a look of hesitation appeared on Fate Professor's face.

Meanwhile, Anangu's voice echoed in Charles's mind.

'Hmm? His Consciousness was already infected by a Hell Flame spell? Oh? My brother's spell?' Anangu blinked her eyes without showing her shocked face and turned her gaze toward Charles.

'You mean the 'Curse of the Overlord'? Wait, isn't that the spell of Fallen Overlord of Hell Plane? He is your brother? Seiyon, the White Devil?' Charles felt their meeting here might not be a strange coincidence.

'Abium must have planned everything.'

In truth, Charles didn't know that even Abium had no clue about Anangu's origin.

'Forget it. I don't know how you got your hands on 'Seiyon's' spell but treasure it. Use it for good use.' While saying so, she quietly raised her hands and spoke to Fate Professor.

"The reason I'm here also is to simply help my friend Asher. She wanted to settle some score with her ex-lover. As long as you promise me not to interfere in their battle, I won't get in your way."

"No... Something is wrong." Professor's eyes squinted as he sensed the abnormal behavior and was about to say something but suddenly forgot.

"He is resisting," Charles muttered while continuing casting [Burning Thoughts] spell and making Professor's Consciousness stop thinking further.

In the meantime, Anangu walked toward the front of the frozen Fate Professor and started reciting a strange chant.

The chant continued for a while before she took a few drops of his blood and drank it.

"I completely stopped his Consciousness from even thinking and also took control over his soul core. Use this opportunity and absorb all his memories." She paused for a moment and asked.

"Or should you want to take control over him?"

Meanwhile, Charles thought momentarily and decided to give up on controlling him.

Although he could make him his next slave, he didn't think he had the power to take full control over a God's avatar.

'I'm only a legendary rank. Meanwhile, the real Professor is most like a Mid-God. I'm not even his opponent.' After that, he quietly released all his Purple Flame spells and started devouring the defenseless Inner World and Consciousness.

At the same time, he received a whole lot of information.

The first important information he got was about coordinates of other worlds like Elder Plane, Abyss, Golden Nebula, etc. Then, he also got information about Rune Language and Rune Study.

'He was actually a peak-level Rune Mage!'
