Chapter 373: Accident

On the other hand, Charles sensed something was manipulating the dark clouds from somewhere and frowned.

Soon, everyone in the deck saw a horse made of bluish lightning within those dark clouds!

"I-It's the Unicorn!" Captain Milo shouted in shock.

Meanwhile, Destiny Lady released her wisdom power and flew up into the dark clouds.

Simultaneously, an invisible ripple came out of her body and spread in all directions.

At that moment, a dense water elemental energy came out of her body and started freezing the sea.

Her water elemental power mixed with the seawater and started freezing the surrounding sea like a poisonous gas!

Other than Charles and Valerie, everyone on the deck became wide-eyed as they saw this scene.

It was the power of Pseudo-Legends!

"W-When did she Rank-up?" Liam asked with a dazed look.

'She indeed told us that she was planning to rank up a few months ago… Still, isn't this too abrupt?' Like him, other crew members also got shocked deeply.

But only Charles knew that she still wasn't strong enough to face a true Rank-5 Mystic or a Magical Beast.

Although she managed to enter the realm of Pseudo-Legends, she still hadn't constructed any spell models yet.

"Charles, she isn't strong enough to face that Unicorn." Valerie deliberated for a moment and then added.

"Try not to destroy my ship."

Upon hearing those words, Charles made a forced smile before nodding his head, cast [Flame Teleportation] spell on himself, and disappeared from there.

The next second, he reappeared in the dark cloudy sky and soon felt a suction force was pulling his body towards the deep sea.

'The gravity is higher here?' He raised his eyebrows in suspicion.

"That Unicorn is my prey!" Destiny Lady said as she flapped her crystalline wings and arrived beside him.

At that moment, the dark clouds moved like a hurricane and released slithering bluish lightning arcs towards them!

If it were before, Charles would've tried his best to escape from those lightning attacks.

But after the original Charles ranked up, his strength also skyrocketed to an unimaginable level.

In truth, he had equal strength as Destiny Lady!

Alas, he kept his strength hidden and let everyone believe that he was still a Rank-4 Mystic.

He even hid his strength from the Destiny Lady!

'Unlike others, my Rank-Up didn't affect any outside atmosphere. Well, even I got surprised after all.' He muttered inwardly.

At that moment, both heard a loud neigh came from the dark clouds and looked up simultaneously.

Soon, they saw a dazzling bluish horse with a rainbow horn on its forehead descended from above, flapped its grayish-white wings, and soon arrived 200 meters away from them.

It was 3 to 4 meters tall, had a gigantic body, and covered itself in lighting arcs.

Without any hesitation, Charles released his wisdom power and cast [Arcane Eyes] skill on the Unicorn to analyze.

In a second, he completely grasped the Magical Beast's strength and breathed out a sigh of relief.

'It's not the same Unicorn that killed Joel. It's just a Peak Rank-4 Magical Beast.'

On the other hand, Destiny Lady suddenly noticed a change around his body and soon widened her eyes in shock.

But before she could speak, Charles raised his hand and cast a Rank-4 spell.

"Black Inferno!"

The next instant, an eerie ball of reddish-black flame came out of his hand and moved towards the Unicorn at an incredible speed!

Although the flame ball appeared less than 1 meter in diameter, some mysterious chain reaction happened within the flame ball and stuck everyone's mind with a feeling of pure wickedness.

At that moment, thousands of minute blackish-red streaks moved within the flame ball and seemed to be multiplying on their own!

Even though it was a Rank-4 spell, everyone felt that the power hidden within the magic spell was no lesser than that of a Rank-5!

Even Charles felt the same and showed a confused expression on his face.

After the original Charles constructed the [Curse of the Overlord] spell model, all of his Wicked Flame spells got upgraded, and his understanding of the Wicked Flame also increased significantly!

Unfortunately, the clone Charles wasn't aware of that!

By the time Unicorn managed to sense the hidden danger, the [Black Inferno] spell was already in front of it.

Perceiving the sudden danger, Unicorn activated its bloodline spell and released a dense arc of bluish lightning through the rainbow-colored horn.

A second later, Unicorn's bluish lightning and Charles's [Black Inferno] spell collided against each other.

Simultaneously, the eerie reddish-black flame ball began to expand and released countless bizarre black streaks in all directions.

Some black streaks flew towards the nearby cloud to corrupt it while the others moved towards the Unicorn!

Within seconds, the grayish-black clouds soon turned into pitch-black ones, giving a strange fear in everyone's heart!

What's more shocking was that the eerie flame ball continued to expand up to 20 diameters in radius and even absorbed the blue lightning!

Meanwhile, Charles and others felt a suffocative feeling.

'What the hell is this?! W-Wait. I can't control it! It's expanding too much.' His heart skipped a beat.

'But why? Is it because my understanding of the spell model is low?' He couldn't help but show an anxious look on his face.

It was more like a spell disruption!

When a Mage had little understanding about the spell model, but he still tried to cast it without knowing head or tails, these types of accidents were bound to happen.

"No! That Unicorn is escaping!" Destiny Lady suddenly noticed Unicorn's withdrawal and shouted.

But Charles didn't have any luxury to listening to her shouting, though.

At that moment, he locked his gaze on the mini-sun and became worried.

'I can maintain it for 2 minutes… After that, the whole surroundings might get wiped out.'

He clearly remembered the destruction caused by a Rank-5 spell in Dreamforest and shuddered inside.

"No good! I'm losing control over that spell." He said in an anxious tone and dragged Destiny Lady back to the ship.

"Set sail! That fireball might explode at any minute from now on." He urged them in a hurry, but soon his face stiffened.

The main reason for that was because Destiny Lady had already turned the whole sea into an Iceland!

On the other hand, the mini-sun began to release cracking noise and continued to corrupt the nearby clouds, ices, and even the lightning arcs.

Without any delay, he looked into Valerie's eyes and spoke.

"Abandon the ship!"

Upon hearing his words, Valerie also didn't say a word and nodded her head.

She knew that it wasn't his fault and chose to escape.

Meanwhile, her crew members stored the necessary items in a hurry and arrived next to Charles.

In the meantime, Charles released his full wisdom power, conjured the colorless False Flame, and started manipulating the surrounding spatial elements.

A few seconds later, a deep crack appeared in the nearby space and soon formed a two-meter tall portal.

Then, Charles and others walked into it one by one and disappeared from the ship.
