'What's my next move? Fighting against a bunch of Rank-4 Mystics is not an option. This mission itself a suicidal one. It was as if I got scammed by the system… No, it's the Goddess… Did she put such low reward to lure me into this mess?' Charles couldn't help but show dissatisfaction on his feminine-looking face.
'Time is running out. I have to decide my next action.' He suddenly paused for a moment and soon asked.
"What is your Teacher's weakness?"
'Louise has three disciples but among them, Vivian is her favorite one. She always gives importance to Vivian and even gave an extraordinary artifact for her safety… Vivian is her weakness. Wait… Something is wrong. Extraordinary artifact is very rare and even Rank-4 Mages would fight for it… Why did she give it to her disciple?'
As he received more information about Louise, his expression suddenly turned into a confused one.
'Now that I think about it, Louise indeed used her consciousness to appear in Eric's body during the previous kidnapping incident and helped her escape… And, I'm pretty sure she used an upgraded version of the 'consciousness Invade' skill on Eric's Inner World and took full control over his body… And, that must be her original consciousness. Would a Teacher willing to save his disciple while placing his life on the line? Yes, some would. But not to this extend….'
'Moreover, Louise is not some naive person. There is something special about this woman. There another possibility. Vivian might not be Louise's disciple, but her own daughter… When my luck did become so good to grasp such a key figure? If I use my black fire and place it in her body, I might be able to blackmail Louise and achieve many things-' As that thought surfaced in his mind, he suddenly froze.
'No, it may not my luck. There might be something else manipulating behind the scenes... Coincidence… My earlier encounter with Vivian… Was it an arranged one?' He was stunned inside.
'But I also sealed my memories, right? Is it due to me targeting Casey? Did that cause a deep variation in fate? Now that I think about it, that guy is indeed an important figure. Casey himself is a Rank-4 Blood Duke and he must have one or two helpers behind him. Isn't my earlier action a little suicidal? Although I wouldn't have tried to sneak into the mansion without checking Casey's status, things wouldn't have gone smoothly… Someone appeared to have sensed the change in Casey's fate and used Vivian to lure me here.'
'After sealing my memories about important figures, I neglected that others might also sense changes in the Fate...'
He once again looked at Vivian and asked to confirm his thoughts.
"Why did you suddenly walk out of Casey's house?"
This time, he didn't use any spell at all.
At that moment, Vivian's eyes widened.

"How did you know?" She blurted out in surprise and soon responded with a severe look on her face.
"An important member of our organization contacted me through the communication ring and asked me to return to get out of the city."
'An Important member...'
As Charles heard her words, a look of understanding appeared on his face.
'This whole encounter is a plot created by someone!'
"You finally figured it out?" A girl child's voice suddenly echoed from the surroundings, causing him to widen his eyes.
A moment later, a small hand appeared from the other side of the tree trunk, followed by a tiny child's head.
She wore a black gown, along with a hood, and stared at him with an innocent smile on her face.
Upon seeing her, Charles furrowed his brows.
'Who is she? Wait… I must have sealed my memories about her….' As he realized the problem, he hurriedly asked his clone to release all memories about a girl-child and soon widened his eyes.
'Ivy!'
"You create this coincidental situation to talk to me?"
Meanwhile, Ivy toddled towards Vivian, placed her hand on her forehead, and spoke while shaking her head.
"No, I came here to help you a little." She suddenly paused for a moment and added in a calm tone.

"If possible, help me find out about her origin."
On the other hand, Charles became surprised for a moment and soon asked.
"Are you talking about the Divine-?"
Before he could even finish his question, Ivy extracted a small rob-like white cloud and tossed it in his direction.
Then, she replied with the same innocent smile and disappeared from there!
'What is she scheming?' Charles thought for a moment and decided to check the orb.
He first focused his attention on the small white orb and soon blinked his eyes in surprise.
'Soul Orb? It's an orb used to capture one's soul and also helps the user to cast the captured soul's magic spells… But the user can only cast spells up to Rank-3 and that too have some restrictions like once per day.'
At that moment, he also received another piece of information!
'She sealed her main consciousness? H-How?... Wait… In two seconds, Ivy invaded Vivian's mind and sealed her main consciousnesses in her own Inner World?' Charles felt his scalp tingle.
'How powerful is this girl child?' He couldn't help but show a wary look on his face.
'Although I don't quite understand the situation, she seems to be helping me. But I can't let my guard down. This child... No, this series artifact is too powerful.' Cold sweats appeared on his forehead.
He then hurriedly turned his gaze towards Vivian and curled his lips upward.
After that, he took her silver ring, tuned his voice into Vivian's one, and activated it.

At the same time, he started breathing heavily and got ready to show his acting skill.
Within two seconds, an anxious female voice came from the other side.
"Vivian, did you encounter any problem?"
"Y-Yes, Teacher. That black-haired woman is a Rank-4 Mage. If not for the Riddles of Nightmare, I might have ended up died a few minutes ago- F*ck! She is coming towards my direction." Charles completely mimicked her voice and spoke in Vivian's panicking voice.
"What?! I'll be there in a few minutes, wait for my arrival." Louise said in a hurried tone.
At that moment, Charles also heard a rippling sound from the other side!
'She is on her way.'
"Few minutes?! I will be dead before you come here! I-I'm going back to the city, Teacher. Once I reach a safe place, I will contact you again." Without waiting for Louise's reply, he cut off the connection, took off a bracelet from her hand, and wore it.
Then, he made a small cut on Vivian's wrist and let her blood drop on the ground.
After that, he cast the 'illusionary wings' spell on himself, grabbed Vivian in his hand, and flew into the forest while crashing against tree branches from time to time.
At that moment, Vivian's blood droplets continuously fell on the tree branches, leaves, and ground and left many clues.
Once he reached a particular place, he stopped there for a moment, let the blood drop for few more seconds, and flew towards the sky.
Once he appeared above the trees, he cast [Flame Teleportation] spell and enveloped both of their bodies in crimson flame.
A moment later, both of them disappeared from there and soon reappeared near the tall city wall.

Charles hurriedly looked around and soon breathed out a sigh of relief as he saw no one appeared in the surrounding areas.
Then, he once again cast [Flame Teleportation] spell and disappeared from there along with Vivian!
