BXBX NOVEL Chapter 538 - Repetitive Day
At that moment, a 40-years-old man who stood a few ten meters away from Charles also noticed his arrival and looked at him in confusion.
He held a walking stick in his hand, had pure white hair, a wrinkled face, and a stern look.
Meanwhile, Charles also looked in his direction and noticed a familiarity upon seeing him.
\'Wait, he is the one who took Ezra from the alley. What is his name again? Hayden, right?\' While he was in deep thoughts, Hayden frowned deeply, pointed his finger in his direction, and asked.
"Who are you? How did you come here?"
Noticing the silence, he instantly realized something was wrong and roared.
"Morons! Who let an outsider inside? Capture him! No, kill him!" His voice echoed more like a rumble of thunder, causing everyone in the hall to turn around and look in Charles\'s direction.
Then, all fifty-plus Divine Order members took different weapons from the nearby table and madly rushed towards Charles.
On the other hand, Charles first cast [Accelerate Thoughts] on himself and touched his space ring.
The next instant, a long black sword appeared in his hand.
Following that, he cast [False Field] spell and instantly increased his movement speed to twice in the surroundings.
After that, he took a deep breath and dashed forward like a bolt of lightning.
In a blink, he arrived in front of a 25 years old young man, slashed the sword at his neck, cleaved it into two, and moved towards the right side to avoid being hit by a dart.
Simultaneously, he received the system notifications but dismissed them with a simple thought.
Then, he bent down a little, avoided the ice arrow that flew from the front and took a step forward. A moment later, his figure turned blurry, disappeared from there, and reappeared in front of another young man. Before that guy could even react, Charles moved the longsword upward, rammed on his head, and directly cleaved his body into two.
"Idiots! Use your devil forms!" Hayden shouted from the opposite side and picked up a spear from the nearby table.
In the meantime, the other Divine Order members also woke up from the shock and instantly cast their [Devil\'s Form] skill.
The next instant, their skin turned dark color, their bodies enlarged up to 2 meters tall, and even their faces changed into hideous forms.
Simultaneously, they cast [Shadow Clones] skill on themselves, split themselves into phantom-like clones, and moved towards Charles at high speed.
Charles\'s pupil dilated as he saw this scene.
\'I need to find their true bodies.\' Muttering to himself, he cast [Eyes of the Runes] skill and observed the hundreds of shadowy figures that appeared all over the grand hall.
\'I can see the difference.\' His eyes glowed in golden light as he muttered under his breath and gripped the sword tighter.
Simultaneously, he crouched down a little and moved towards a particular shadow. Although it was challenging to find the real one among those shadowy clone forms, Charles used his full attention on the enemy and wasted no time.
At that moment, his eyes flickered as they moved to and forth like a machine and analyzed for weaknesses, found the difference between the real person and clones, and even showed him their next steps.
\'Oh no! There are more than thirteen Rank-5 Mages in this group! Dual Mystics?\' A grim look appeared on his face. But as he scanned Hayden, his expression turned stiff.
\'Sh*t! Hayden is indeed a Rank-6 Mystic! I need to be very careful of him.\' While he was thinking, he saw a reddish [Inferno] spell from his right side; a [Crystal Ice Needle] spell from the front, and a [Wind Blade] spell, an [Ice Spear] spell, a Reddish [Chaos Chain] Spell, and a [Dark Bolt] spell came from the left side.
All of them were Rank-5 spells and appeared dangerous!
Moreover, He noticed that all those spells were moving towards him at an unimaginable speed.
\'It will be hard to even dodge in this False Field.\'
As he saw the danger in slow motion, Charles cast the [Sphere of Invulnerability] magic spell on himself and braced for the impact.
The next instant, a flame barrier with a ten-foot radius appeared around him and encircled him like a forcefield.
A second later, all those attack magic spells collided against the flame barrier and created multiple explosions and shockwaves.
Meanwhile, Charles noticed that even the flame barrier showed cracks at multiple places and turned grim.
But before he could think about his following action, Hayden raised his wooden stick, pointed the tip in his direction, and spoke.
"Forgotten Curse!"
A second later, Charles suddenly sensed that an invisible power appeared out of nowhere, entered his soul, and directly affected his consciousness.
He forgot how to maintain the [Sphere of Invulnerability] spell the next instant and showed a blank look.
By the time he snapped out from the dazed state, the flame barrier around his body was nowhere to be seen!
Instead, he saw an ice spear entering his head and reappeared on the other side.
Then, the ice spear exploded in his head and killed him on the spot!
...
Gasp!
Charles again opened his eyes in the airship, let out a gasp, and gritted his teeth in frustration.
Then, he cast [Accelerate Thoughts] spell on himself and ordered before Genesis could speak.
\'Genesis, use the \'Wisdom Link\' and check if someone named \'Professor\' is a member of the Edhen\'s Children organization.\'
...
[Searching...]
[Connected to the \'Wisdom Link.\']
[Connection Successful!]
...
[Yes, Host. The person you are referring to must be the \'Fate Professor\' who rules over the domain of Fate, Luck, and Past. He is a Rank-8 [Destiny Watcher] of Elder Plane and has a high reputation in the Lawful Faction. Other than this, Wisdom Link has no information about his real name or history.]
...
Charles furrowed his brows as he read the information and soon turned solemn.
\'Destiny Watcher, huh. As I thought, the guy in the City of Miracle must be the avatar of the real \'Fate Professor.\'\' He went silent for a moment and decided to continue his current mission.
...
In the meantime, Professor woke up in his bedroom and looked at the surroundings in confusion.
"Wait! I was in the carriage just a while ago... How did I come here?"
A strange sense of déjà vu appeared in his mind.
He hurriedly walked out of his wooden bed, moved towards the table, took out a pocket watch from the cupboard, and checked the time and date.
"6.40 A.M, 14th May..." His face stiffened up all of a sudden.
"It shouldn\'t be possible. The day is repeating for me?" Just as he muttered, the silver bracelet in his hand vibrated all of a sudden.
He frowned deeply, focused on the soul imprint, and attended the communication call.
The next instant, a familiar voice echoed in his ears.
"Good morning, Professor. Should I tell Hayden to proceed with the plan?"
"John? Oh, yeah. Tell him to finish the work before it\'s too late." Professor snapped out from the daze and cut the call in a hurry.
Then, he took out a cigarette and a lighter from the same cupboard, put the cigarette in his mouth, and lit it.
He then took a large puff, exhaled the smoke, and rubbed his head in confusion.
"What did I miss? Why am I experiencing the same day?"
