Fire Mage

Chapter 552: Explosions

At that moment, the young man's whisper appeared in her head.

"I've to go now. Sleep well."

A second later, she blanked out entirely and fell with a thud.

Meanwhile, Charles took a needle from his space ring, made a small wound on her finger, and let a drop of her blood fall on his palm.

Then, he created a new identity imprint, shape-shifted himself into Harley, and started changing his dress.

Once he was done, he took a deep look at Harley's face, covered her naked body with a new black dress, and walked out of the restroom.

He quietly moved down the aisle while putting the lipstick on his lips and soon reached the Airship's front.

At that moment, three hostesses who stood next to the exit gate noticed his arrival and waved their hands at him.

"Where were you, Harley? The captain is searching for you."

"What does he want? My shift is already over, right?" Charles mimicked Harley's voice and asked while raising his eyebrows.

"Who knows? He might be planning to invite you on a date." One of the hostesses showed a teasing smile and started walking toward the Airship's control room to notify the Captain.

On the other hand, Charles looked outside through the exit gate and saw John and other security guards were checking everyone's identity.

"Okay. I'm getting late already." He muttered calmly, turned his gaze towards the hostess on his right side, and added.

"Tell Captain to contact me through the communication device. I'm on my way to see an important person."

Before the other girl could respond, he moved towards the exit gate, walked on the illusionary staircase, and soon reached the concrete road.

Then, he turned his gaze at the half-egg-shaped building and walked towards it.

Although the security guards and John noticed her presence, they didn't mind her and continued to do their work.

On the other hand, Charles soon entered the building, walked through the long corridor, and took out the bluish crystalline ball from his space ring.

At that moment, a big-bellied man, who walked next to him, looked at the crystal ball and asked in curiosity.

"What is that crystal ball, Young Lady? Is it a Charm Stone?"

Charles frowned as he heard the old man's question and spoke femininely.

"It's a mystic stone called 'Diviner's Eye.' I brought it for 4,300 Blood Stones."

Meanwhile, the big-bellied man looked at it suspiciously and probed in interest.

"What can it do?"

Charles curled his lips and gave him a short explanation.

"As long as you look at the crystal ball for 30 seconds, you'll be able to get a peek at your future. Although I don't know if this stone could still work in the Miracle City due to the presence of a defensive array system, I want to try it out."

On the other hand, the big-bellied man got more curious and asked.

"Can I try it first?"

Charles showed a hesitant look and soon nodded before passing the crystal to him.

"Don't drop it." He added.

On the other hand, the big-bellied man caught the crystal ball with both hands, walked into the baggage counter hall with Charles, and looked at the crystal ball deeply.

At that moment, he had already moved closer to the reddish broken array circle and was only a few meters away from it.

Charles suddenly extended his right hand, released an invisible string, and moved it towards the young man who walked ahead of them.

The invisible string crept slowly towards his head and touched his left ear.

The young man got startled by the touch sensation, halted his footsteps suddenly, and furrowed.

'What was that?' He hurriedly raised his hand and touched his ears but found nothing abnormal.

While he was in deep thoughts, the big-bellied man also continued to walk forward and 'accidentally' bumped into him.

Due to the sudden bump, he moved his hand in reflex hands and dropped the bluish crystalline ball!

"Oh no!" He shouted in shock and tried to bend his body but couldn't due to the large belly.

Meanwhile, the crystalline ball made a clanging noise, bounced upward like a rubber ball, and moved forward.

After the third bounce, it directly landed on the reddish array circle and made a final touch.

A second later, an invisible power came out of nowhere and caused the array circle to crack.

In a blink, reddish fire came out of the broke array circle, enveloped the young man and the big-bellied man, and disintegrated them into ashes.

It was the chaos fire!

But the fire didn't stop here, though. It soon spread towards the surroundings, activated the nearby array circles, and caused severe explosions!

Although a strange invisible power appeared around that area to deactivate the defensive arrays in seconds, it was too late.

The whole Baggage Hall was enveloped in reddish flame in mere seconds and burned everyone.

Even the powerful Rank-5 Airport Guards got affected by the reddish flame and disintegrated into pure ashes.

Only a single humanoid figure remained calm in the sea of flame, slowly stepped forward, and started walking towards the hall's exit.

Soon, the flame figure calmly exited the baggage counter hall and entered the security checking hall.

Due to the shockwave, tables, chairs, many scanning artifacts, and even the people in the nearby hall were tossed up in different directions, and the whole area appeared devastated.

Although the security guards were shocked by the sudden appearance of a flame humanoid figure, nobody gave a damn about it.

At that moment, those security guards and other passengers crawled around on the floor and tried their best to move toward the Airport's entrance gate.

Meanwhile, the humanoid flame figure started to transform and changed into an appearance of a deep-blue haired naked young man.

It was none other than Charles.

He quietly walked out of the Airport as the people ran around in panic, took out a shirt and pants, and put them on.

Once he was done, he cast the [False Blink] spell, disappeared from there, and reappeared 20 meters away from the entrance gate.

He continued to cast the [False Blink] spell, left the Airport's territory in a few seconds, and soon appeared in the middle of the dirt road.

...

A few seconds ago, a naked young lady who lay in the restroom suddenly let out a gasp and opened her eyes widely.

Simultaneously, she heard explosive noises from somewhere and widened her eyes.

She then sat up in a hurry, looked at the black dress on her lap, and chuckled.

"He is a good kisser." She licked her lips, stood up with a half-smirked face, and took the red bra from the floor. Then, she peeked at her reflection in the opposite mirror as she tried to wear the bra and hummed a strange tune. Slowly, she wore her panty, picked up the linen shirt, and sniffed it before opening her mouth to sing.

"May you live long, Mother~ Please listen to me ~

Do not harass her, saying that you saw her go up

and come down the lookout platform like a peacock

coming down the mountain, with her thick

earrings that gleamed like midnight lightning

and spreading loosely braided hair,

when heavy rains with roaring thunder and

lightning had stopped, and it was pitch dark~" She paused as she had forgotten the next verse, buttoned the shirt, and soon smiled.

Then, she picked up the black pant and continued to sing.

"Those who dream in their sleep can get confused

and feel like they saw the God in person who wears

bright flowers from our grove and appear in the

forms that they desire.

She trembles when she is alone in the dark, and

seeks protection due to her fear when the 'owl' on the

ancient tree in the common ground hoots.

On top of that, if she does something, won't she be

afraid of her father, who is in the house abandoning

hunting with his pack of dogs

and is filled with great rage like Periyon?~"

By the time she finished singing the strange song, she had worn the new dress and nodded her pretty head.

"It was a fun talk indeed." She muttered with a mysterious smile on her face and snapped her fingers.

The next instant, she closed her eyes, remained in the same position for the next three seconds, and opened her eyes again.

But instead of calmness, she showed a confused look on her face, looked around in anxiety, and soon froze as she saw the formal black dress instead of a red one.

"Where am I? Wait! Why am I in the restroom now?! The Airship is going to land sooner!" She snapped out of the daze and hurriedly ran out of the restroom.

But to her shock, she soon realized that there was no passenger inside the Airship and was completely dumbfounded!

"What the hell happened?" Harley uttered with a disbelief look on her face.
