Chapter 253: Arcane Eyes

\'What a mess. I want nothing but a peaceful Tower to stay, but the f*cking \'Divines\' are toying with me as if they are in complete control of my life. Moreover, Destiny Tower, is it? Is this the legacy tower? What it has to do with me?\' Charles gritted his teeth in anger.

\'I\'ve been too good for the past three years. What worries me more is this mysterious curse… Do I\'ve no choice but to seek the System Creator\'s help? But I don\'t want to.\' Anger rushed into his head.

He hates it when someone forces him to do something which he hated most.

\'3 years…\'

He took a deep breath to calm his mind and then shifted his attention to the game interface.

[+5 Wisdom]

\'5 Wisdom points from his precious emotions of pleasure, love, and care… Not a bad skeleton.\' He let out a chuckle and continued to read all information about his research and other things.

After an hour, he suddenly received another notification and became surprised a little.

[Soul Eye skill obtained!]

[Due to similarity between Wisdom Sight skill and Soul Eye skill, this new skill is currently merged into the Wisdom Sight skill!]

[Wisdom Sight skill\'s proficiency has been increased from 220 to 385!]

Just as the notification showed up, countless pieces of information about the \'Soul Eye\' skill appeared in front of him.

Simultaneously, Charles felt an itching sensation in his eyes.

Even though he was in his Inner World, he still felt the weird sensation.

It lasted for a whole minute and soon returned to normal.

Charles also breathed out a sigh of relief and soon shifted his gaze towards the interface.

\'I currently have 147 free skill points… Should I upgrade this Wisdom Sight skill?\' He thought for a moment and put 15 skill points into the [Wisdom Sight] skill.

Simultaneously, he saw a large white streak of light came from the Game System\'s direction, flew towards the dark sky, and soon disappeared from his sight.

A moment later, a sharp pain appeared in both of his eyes!

If he weren\'t in his Inner World, he would be rubbing his eyes right now!

\'Sh*t! It\'s a hundred times more itchy and painful than the last time.\' He gritted his teeth and waited patiently.

The pain and itching sensation continued for the next few minutes, causing him to almost shout in anger and pain.

A few minutes later, he returned to his usual self and soon glanced at the notification.

[Wisdom Sight skill has reached its peak!]

[Upgrade is possible!]

[Upgrading!]

[…]

[Host\'s Eyes are undergoing a mutation process!]

[…]

[Arcane Eyes skill obtained!]

\'Arcane Eyes?\' He stared at the notifications in surprise and soon shifted his attention to the description.

\'I will have an easier time finding opponent\'s weakness than the previous Wisdom Sight skill… For example, the [Wisdom Sight] skill will take 60 seconds to find the opponent\'s weakness. Meanwhile, this skill will only take 10 to 20 seconds. And, I can now see through illusions, invisible objects, invisible creatures, invisible spells, Fate strings, and so on. Not only that, but I can also see a glimpse of the opponent\'s soul form! But there is a limit to this skill, though. For example, if the opponent\'s wisdom power is higher than mine, the chance of this skill working on them is low. The same goes for invisibility, illusions, fate strings, and so on…\'

\'This skill is not bad at all…\' He nodded thoughtfully and soon noticed that his [Flame Consciousness] had already killed Reid\'s second, third and fourth consciousness!

Not only that, but his purple consciousness also ravaged the whole Inner World.

\'I should create a separate section and place this soul-related knowledge somewhere. Then, there is this Soul Core. I should find my soul core and place it somewhere deep in my Inner World. Although I\'m a powerful God-like existence in my Inner world, I\'m still not an omnipotent being here.\' He nodded his head, closed his illusionary eyes, and searched for his soul core.

After an hour of searching, he found a strange crystalline orb in the deepest part of his Inner World and felt relieved.

\'It\'s already in a much safer place. If this soul core were in the System Cube, I would have gone mad right now.\' A wry smile appeared on his face.

Shaking his head, he left his Inner World, opened his deep-blue eyes, and shifted his gaze towards the black bracelet.

"I want to break this Phylactery and kill him." He asked in a serious tone.

Although he had stolen Reid\'s Phylactery, he still wasn\'t powerful enough to defeat him in a direct combat.

Currently, Reid\'s main consciousness was similar to the fake Eddie Nightwind!

\'But as long as he gets his hands on this Phylactery, he will regain most of his power. Although I erased his lifelong memory, his main consciousness has most of them like my own. Once he enters his Inner World, he could indeed replicate them and reconstruct his Inner World.\' He felt a sense of urgency.

"I can erase his soul." The Holem\'s Crown stated proudly.

Meanwhile, Charles widened his eyes a bit, glanced at the artifact, and asked.

"What do you mean? Didn\'t you say that your \'Dark Star\' is already on the verge of breaking down?"

"The reason I always refrain myself from using this \'Dark Star\' spell is mainly because of the restrictions. To activate this [Erase Existence] spell on the enemy, I need to be within a 1-meter radius. Moreover, I need more than 5 seconds to activate this spell. If the opponent moved out of the range during this time, my spell would be interrupted, and I will face a severe backlash. But if I get the \'Darkness\' elemental crystal, I could restore my Dark Star to a large margin and help you frequently. For example, the effective range of this spell will increase to the 5-meter radius, and activation time will also reduce to 1 second." The Holem\'s Crown spoke like a devil.

It was trying to tempt him!

Charles knew of this artifact\'s scheme too.

\'But this spell is indeed powerful.\' He couldn\'t help but show some hesitation.

Currently, he had very few trump cards.

His Ember Pistol, Starfall Codex Books, and other low-Rank artifacts were of no use to him now!

\'Even the System is not helping me like before. On the other hand, my spells and skills are started showing their might. Hmm, my current trump cards are the Game System, the Holem\'s Crown, Riddle of Nightmares, and the Pseudo-Legendary Dagger. But once I advance to Rank-5, even these artifacts won\'t help me much.\' He thought for a few seconds and sighed heavily.

He then glanced at the red-gem-embedded bracelet and asked in suspicion.

"Wait… What if the Divine wants us to erase Reid\'s soul?"

Meanwhile, the Holem\'s Crown went silent for a moment and spoke in disapproval.

"It\'s impossible for this \'Divine\' to know about my \'Dark Star\' spell, lad. After I came to this Edhen plane, I used this spell only once. Moreover, I used this spell on the fake Eddie Nightwind while he was in the Dream Domain."

Upon hearing its words, Charles wore a thoughtful look on his face and nodded.

"Okay. Let\'s do it."

"Hoho, I\'m waiting for this." The Holem\'s Crown let out a creaky laugh, removed itself from his hand, and activated the \'Dark Star\' spell.

One second… Two seconds… Three seconds…

On the fifth second, the Holem\'s Crown suddenly let out a dazzling red light and spoke.

"Erase Existence!"

In the next instance, a fierce invisible power entered the black bracelet and silently erased Reid\'s soul!
