BXBX NOVEL Chapter 160: Anger
Chapter 160: Anger
In the meantime, Charles already closed the curtains, appeared near the wooden bed, and sat on it.
Within few seconds, he heard knocking sounds from the outside.
"Come in." He spoke in a solemn tone and waited.
On the other hand, the wooden door opened with a creaking noise, and soon Jessie and other kids walked in.
A few seconds later, they appeared in front of Charles and stood there in silence.
Meanwhile, Charles first took out three gems from his space ring and gave them to Jessie, Noel, and Titus.
Then, he turned his gaze towards Jessie and spoke.
"Jessie, go on."
Nodding her head, Jessie opened her mouth, placed the white-colored gem on her tongue, and closed her mouth before swallowing it.
A moment later, a sharp pain came from the depth of her mind, followed by countless pieces of information about the corresponding class of Learner.
Simultaneously, a change appeared in the depths of her Inner World.
Her memories started to replicate one by one, and the replicated memories formed into humanoid form. If Charles were in her Inner World, he would have entirely stupefied by now.
It was the process of forming an incarnation!
Soon, the humanoid form formed into an illusionary version of Jessie and instantly linked to the outer body!
At that moment, Jessie opened her eyes and muttered to herself in shock.
\'Reader Class… Fast Reader… Two Consciousnesses… The upgraded version of Insight… I can now think about two different things at the same time.\' Her eyes shone in excitement.
She now totally believed her Teacher\'s earlier words about knowledge.
\'My strength is knowledge… But I also need to pay some attention to increase my body strength. Should I start saving some money and buy a combat-related class in the future? Yes, that seems to be a good idea.\' She nodded inwardly and spoke.
"I Ranked up, Teacher."
"Good." Charles nodded his head and turned his gaze towards Titus.
Titus also followed his sister\'s action and swallowed a black gem. But unlike her, he didn\'t felt any pain at all!
Instead, he felt extremely comfortable.
After two seconds, he opened his eyes wide and nodded his head.
\'Shadow Grasp, Conceal, and Dark Sense.\' A smile crept on Titus\'s face as he recalled the newly upgraded skills.
Meanwhile, Noel impatiently held the gem in his hand and waited for Charles to approve.
Noticing his gaze, Charles let out a chuckle and nodded.
The next instant, Noel placed the gem in his mouth and swallowed it. After that, he closed his eyes and started to feel a sight breaking in the depths of his mind.
At that moment, he perceived some unknown power about the sword from his mind and unsheathed his sword.
Then, he put more concentration on the short sword and activated the [Aura] skill.
A sunshine aura started to envelop the sword and soon sharpened towards both edges. Then, the sunshine began to turn darker and darker and turned into a blood-red!
\'This kid is genius. He already mastered the advanced-sword aura.\' The Holem\'s Crown suddenly paused for a moment and soon spoke in a surprised tone.
\'He is gaining enlightenment.\'
Upon hearing those words, Charles also got surprised for a moment and monitored the kid\'s movement carefully.
Other kids also noticed Noel\'s strange behavior and started to back away.
A few seconds later, Noel finally couldn\'t maintain the sword aura and retracted it.
A proud smile appeared on his face.
"I-" As he was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.
At that moment, Charles also stood up from the wooden bed, went near the window, opened the curtains, and looked in the direction of the defensive wall.
The North Street was relatively closer to the City wall, so he got a clear vision of what was happening on the wall.
At that moment, he saw tens of black shadows moved on the defensive wall and started attacking the soldiers ruthlessly.
Soon, he heard a single shrilling cry, followed by multiple cries!
The kids\' bodies also tensed up as they heard such cries. They could tell that those cries contain fear and panic!
"It seems this is going to be a long night." Charles let out a deep sigh and was about to turn around but suddenly froze.
At that moment, a crystal-winged figure descended from the third floor and soon landed on the yard below them.
Although the black-haired woman was showing her back to him, Charles could tell her identity instantly!
\'Emilia Wilson… Why is she here?\' He got confused for a moment and soon recalled Rhea\'s coincidental meeting with Ashley.
\'Someone is pulling strings in the shadows. Is it another [Astrologer] Class bastard? Damn it.\' An angry expression appeared on his face.
\'Is he a member of the Destiny Conquerors? Although I don\'t know about the opposite party\'s aim, I can tell that they want to restrict my growth.\' His eyes turned abnormally cold as he peered at Emilia for a moment and then turned around.
Then, he went near the right side wall, took out a gem-like leaf, and placed it on the wall.
Then, he turned his gaze towards the kids and said.
"I\'m going to take you guys to a secret place. Repeat after me."
He paused for a moment and chanted a verse in English.
Meanwhile, the kids nodded their heads in nervousness and started to repeat the words one by one.
Still, Noel and Titus made a mistake while chanting and stopped. Charles didn\'t get mad at them, though. He knew that repeating the foreign language words was difficult, so he patiently repeated the recite and waited for them to say correctly.
One minute later, the kids finally heard the last verse from their Teacher and soon saw him disappeared from their visions!
Thankfully, they didn\'t get panic and repeated the last verse.
They noticed that their whole surroundings started to distort a second later and soon felt a suction force pulled them inside!
At that moment, they saw clusters of stars around them and soon found themselves transported into a gloomy dark cave.
"Where are we?" Noel was to first one to wake up from the shock and asked in a rough voice.
No, he felt it hard to breathe!
\'I feel like I\'m breathing the air near a dense fire.\' He thought.
At that moment, other kids also felt discomfort when breathing the hot air and showed uneasy expressions on their faces.
"You will get used to it in five minutes." An old man\'s voice echoed in the dark cave.
At that moment, Charles also lit the fire torches and added in a cold tone.
"This is a very dangerous place, so don\'t try to go outside." He paused for a moment, went near the entrance, and sealed the small gap with another rock.
He only left a small gap for some air!
Then, he turned around and ordered.
"Hold your hands and stand together."
Although the kids felt puzzled by his words, they hurriedly held their hands together and obeyed.
Meanwhile, Charles took out the Starfall Codex Magic Book from his space ring, flipped it to the last page, and started to chant.
After two minutes of long chanting, he closed the book and muttered.
"Sun\'s Glare."
A moment later, a yellowish transparent shield appeared around the kids and turned invisible!
Charles nodded his head and spoke.
"This spell will be active for the next 24 hours, and it focuses mainly on protecting Jessie. So, stay close to her at all costs. As long as you stay inside the cave, you will be safer for one day. Until I come back, don\'t do anything foolish and try to go outside, got it?"
"Yes, Teacher." All of them replied in unison.
After giving one last warning, Charles recited the short chant and disappeared from there!
A moment later, he reappeared in the Edhen, took the gem-like leaf from the concrete wall, and stored it in his space ring.
Then, he turned around, went near the window, and looked at the hooded humans, who had long started creating chaos everywhere.
\'I\'m pissed now.\'
A bone-chilling aura suddenly enveloped him.
Simultaneously, two eerie black wings popped up behind his back and turned into red color!
