Chapter 725 Ophira Seraphine

Chapter 725: Ophira Seraphine

The next day, Charles woke up around 8. A.M. freshened up a bit and called out Zera.

"Bring out the 'Eternal Flame Seed' spell model." He ordered.

Like before, a purplish gem-like crystal appeared out of thin air and hovered before him.

But before Charles could take it, Zera suddenly froze as she looked at the wooden table and soon asked.

"What is that, Master? I sense the presence of a being inside that pendant."

Charles was surprised by her words and soon chuckled.

"That's the child I've been raising for a while now. Snake Princess, come out." He called out.

Just as he spoke, a small dark portal appeared above the pendant, and a 2-meter-long snake slithered out.

"This is?" Zera was surprised by the snake's appearance and asked.

"Where did you get this snake, Master?"

"She is a friend of mine from the Dream World. But she was only a consciousness back then. On the other hand, she now has a suitable vessel." As Charles spoke, the Snake Princess opened her mouth and whispered in the air while sticking her tongue out.

"Hiss... I couldn't improve in that place. Something is obstructing my growth." Her feminine voice echoed all over the room.

Zera became curious about the Snake Princess and walked closer to her.

"That's because you are walking on the path of bloodline." She paused for a moment and asked.

"What's your name, Young Lady?"

The Snake Princess tilted her head and responded in confusion.

"I don't have such a thing. But this human usually calls me 'Shadow Princess.' Now that I think about it, I also saw such a thing in the soul I possessed. Let me check the memories." Saying so, the Snake Princess closed her eyes and appeared to have entered her Inner World.

"Shouldn't you give her a proper name, Tower Master? Even if she was born from the collection of memories, you should've given her a proper name." Zera turned her gaze and looked at Charles with a questionable gaze.

"I thought about it too." Charles pondered while showing an awkward smile and soon asked.

"How about Belinda?"

Zera thought for a moment and agreed.

"Hmm, Belinda sounds good."

On the other hand, the Snake Princess opened her eyes and shook her head.

"Ophira Seraphine. That's the name I found this in the soul I possessed."

"You like it?" Charles asked.

"I don't know." The Snake Princess showed a confused look and tilted her head.

"You must not change that name, Master. If that name was already engraved on the soul she possessed, that's her identity itself. Even if you give her a new name, I won't be as good as the original one." Zera said.

"But I don't see any changes when I use the [Inspect] skill." Charles couldn't help but get confused.

"Inspect skill isn't omniscient, Master. And it also gathers information based on your knowledge sometimes, so its accuracy varies too." Zera's words made him puzzle more.

"Well, if she is okay with that name, she can use it however she wants," Charles said while giving up on persuading.

But this time, Ophira slowly moved closer to Zera and asked.

"What is the bloodline pathway? Do you know a way to improve my physical strength?"

Meanwhile, Zera scanned her body and answered.

"Your body belongs to the Shadow Basilisk bloodline. It would help if you had the bloodline essence of a Rank-2 or above Rank Shadow Basilisk. As long as you absorb the bloodline essences, you can rank up and improve further. Until then, try your best not to use any of your class skills."

She then looked at Charles and asked.

"Can I look after this child, Master? She needs to learn lots of things about the world, too."

'Hmm, that's a good choice too. I'm bad at caring for others, so I'll leave Ophira to the Tower Spirit.'

Charles waved his hand and focused on the purple crystal containing the Mind Fire's spell model.

"I'll not disappoint you, Master," Zera said while bowing her head, taking Ophira and even the pendant with her, and disappearing from the room.

Meanwhile, Charles caught the crystal, entered his Inner World along with it, and soon reappeared before the Mind Fire spell model.

"Let's focus on constructing the spell models now. Hmm, this one contains around 5,000 Mind Fire Essences, huh?'

Then, he focused his full attention on the crystal and concentrated on a single Mind Fire essence.

To his shock, it took him over 13 hours to comprehend a single Mind Fire Essence.

'So, comprehending the Mind Fire is challenging, huh?'

Charles didn't waste a moment as he cast the [Rebirth Domain] spell and activated the [Accelerate Thoughts] skill before comprehending.

For the next seven and half years, Charles stayed in his Inner World and continued constructing the [Eternal Flame Seed] spell.

By the time he finished constructing the spell model, more than four months had passed in the outside world.

But Charles didn't stop there.

He picked up the next spell model called 'Cleansing Soul Fire Spell' and started constructing it.

Thankfully, it only took him two months to complete.

After that, he also picked up the 'Overlord of Domination' spell and constructed it for the next two months.

At the end of the 11th month after his return from the Star Tombs Tower, he constructed all the spell models entirely.

What was more shocking was that his comprehensive speed had far surpassed any Mage's, thanks to his 'Divine Rank Fire Affinity' and Sage's Eye skills.

Charles then took out the 'Crystal Dimension stone' and started focusing on comprehending the Chaos Eye spell.

But instead of going to his Inner World, he entered the Crystal Dimension and focused on improving his 'Chaos Eye' spell by comprehending more Chaos Fire Essences.

Even though the time flow within the Crystal Dimension was far surpassed his Inner World, he barely made progress.

Like the last time, he stayed more than four years within the Crystal Dimension and only comprehended another 600 Chaos Fire Essences. But thankfully, only ten days had passed in the outside world.

Utilizing this opportunity, Charles again entered the Crystal Dimension and stayed there for more than 16 years.

To be precise, Charles spent 40 more days in the Crystal Dimension and devoted himself to comprehending the Chaos Fire Essences.

When he walked out of the Crystal Dimension again, Charles had comprehended 4,300 Chaos Fire Essences, creating 4 Chaos Fire Laws!

He soon reappeared in his bedroom and slowly moved towards the bay window.

Then, he activated his [Eye of the Faceless] skill and looked into the twenty different futures of the next twenty seconds.

"Oh? Chaos Fire shattered the forcefield before even the four fire laws touched it, huh? Also, the spell's speed far surpassed any spell.' Charles nodded inwardly and decided to focus himself on the [Ignis Sanctuary] spell next.

He took the Golden Badge from the space ring, entered his Inner World, and started comprehending the Lawful Fire to strengthen the spell.

Another two months passed in the outside world as he fully upgraded the [Ignis Sanctuary] spell.

It had been around one year and three months since Charles came to the Rebirth Tower.

"I finally comprehended all seven spell models to the fullest." He muttered inwardly and checked the progress.

...

Charles stared at the progression and was satisfied exceptionally.

"My current aim is to improve my subclass skills and Rank up. If I want to improve my cloning skills, I think I need to do actual cloning. As for the 'Hand of Wonder, I think I can improve by constantly using the strings. Now that I think about it, didn't I give the nullify stone to Runeth to make some useful weapon?" He thought to himself and soon noticed Zera appearing in the main hall.

"You have a visitor, Tower Master." She said while bowing her head.

"Visitor?" He raised his eyebrows and further inquired.

"Who is it? If it's not something important, send them away."

"It's Queen Rhea, Master. She visited the tower more than ten times in the last few months and kept asking to meet you. But because you focused fully on constructing the spell models, I had no choice but to stop her from disturbing you." Zera said solemnly.

"Rhea?" A surprised expression appeared on his face.

'Now that I think about it, I never met Rhea or Noah after returning from the Faith Plane, right? I also want to check on the child from the Fire Elemental Plane. Hmm, how are things going over there?'

"Lead the way." Charles didn't think much as he slowly stood up from the bed and added.

"Where is she? I'll meet her right away."

"She is staying in Level-22nd Guest Hall, Master. If you agree, I can bring her here immediately." Zera suggested.

"No. I'll go meet her," Charles said as he walked towards the wardrobe, opened it slowly, and picked out a formal dress.

Then, he removed the robe and wore a white shirt, black pants, a red waistcoat, and finally, the robe of the Shadowed Sage, which almost looked like a frock coat.

Once he was done, he moved towards the table and looked at the bunch of artifacts placed there.

He first wore the 'Mind Blank' Amulet over his neck, then Titan's circlet, and finally kept Grace in his waist,

A second later, he released his wisdom power, enveloped his body in a crimson flame, and disappeared from there.
