Chapter 374: Prison

Chapter 374: Prison

As the portal shrunk, the surrounding lightning arcs, and the dark clouds entered the flame ball at an unimaginable speed!

Moreover, the hiding Unicorn also got pulled into the Black Inferno spell by some mysterious force!

A second later, a loud neigh came from its mouth before it got completely sucked into the flame ball and burned into ashes.

What's more shocking was that the eerie flame ball continued to enlarge more than 30 meters in diameter and then started releasing black lightning arcs!

Within seconds, the black lighting arcs broke the frozen ices pieces before and melted everything. On the other hand, the dark clouds also sucked into the flame ball madly.

If Charles were there, he would've noticed that the spell had once again upgraded into a more powerful one.

Once the expanded flame ball reached a specific size, it descended slowly and soon touched the water surface.

The next instant, the millions of black streaks combined, and soon the whole eerie reddish-black flame ball started to shrink.

But the temperature around the surrounding started to rise drastically.

100°c… 200°c… 300°c and soon it reached 1000°c!

Simultaneously, the seawater boiled frighteningly and evaporated while covering the whole area in the mist!

The Gold Demon ship also burned like a raging storm and soon sunk into the deep water.

By the time the reddish-black flame ball turned into the size of a pebble, the whole sea turned into a boiling pot while releasing countless bubbles.

Dead fishes, sharks, and even some Magical Beasts started to float in the water.

Meanwhile, the pebble-sized flame ball soon released a single ray of blackish lightning deep into the seawater and then exploded.

But unlike the usual explosion, this flame ball's explosion was so swift, intense, and terrifying!

In a second, the small flame ball started to enlarge into a size of 500 meters in diameter and then exploded while sending eerie fire streaks in all directions!

Moreover, the explosion caused the whole sea, nearby island, and even the sky to tremble!

The sky split was into two while the Endless Sea roared before sending waves in all directions.

Even though Charles and others appeared more than 10 km away from this mini-sun, they were completely caught off guard due to the fire streaks!

Charles and Destiny Lady cast their Rank-4 Defensive spell continuously and started blocking the fire streaks.

While they were struggling, something extraordinary occurred within the deepest part of the sea.

The eerie black lightning released from the earlier flame ball entered deeper and soon reached the sea's floor.

What's more shocking was that the seawater didn't affect the strange black lightning's movement at all!

But the power hid in the eerie black lightning even scared some of the Rank-5 Magical Beasts!

Soon, the black lightning struck the mysterious dome-shaped temple building and directly passed into it.

In truth, this was a temple that belonged to an ancient marine race called Syreni!

Before the Era of New Time, Edhen World was once ruled by three races.

The first one was Humans, the second one was a particular Elf race called Wood Elves, and finally, the last one was a marine race called Syreni.

Unlike Humans and Elves who lived in the land with unity and harmony, those Syrenis ruled the sea using evil means.

Not only that, but they have also claimed themselves as the direct descendants of Blood Demon Goddess and caused destruction and chaos whenever they moved!

Although most of these Syrenis disappeared after the appearance of Twelve Lawful Gods, a few chose to remain in this Temple and still were guarding something!

As for what they were guarding, even Destiny Goddess Sasha knew nothing about it!

But she knew that the World's Will was aiming for that thing within the deepest part of this Temple!

Nine years ago, when her incarnation checked Destiny Lady's fate strings, she noticed an unbelievable thing in her body.

Divinity!

Destiny Lady had that thing that could even change her Destiny!

When she decided to dig deeper, she found out that this Destiny Lady had some connection with the World's Will!

Moreover, she also found out more about the World Will's scheme against Charles and decided to play along.

First, Sasha manipulated Destiny Lady's mind and showed a little bit of her Destiny in the form of a vision.

Then, she also decided to add Charles's image and waited for the things to play out.

Although Charles managed to spoil many of her plans, he couldn't do anything about the true Destiny!

Meanwhile, World's Will used Charles to place Rhea on the Iron Throne and then form a plan to eliminate him.

But even World's Will knew that eliminating an Irregular was not an easy thing.

So, it broke countless people's fate strings and recreated a different Destiny for Charles!

That's why he started sensing the feeling of his death!

In truth, the clone Charles's earlier accident was also due to one of the World Will's alterations!

As the black lighting arc entered the building, it formed into a shape of a snake and slithered into the building.

Within two seconds, the lighting snake deep into the Temple through the metal pipes and other poles and reached an underground prison-like place.

The hall was so vast, and the surrounding walls and ceiling were decorated with portraits of strange sea creatures, Syreni creatures, humans, and even elves!

What's more shocking was that the whole underground hall was filled with air!

The black lightning snake soon coiled into a metallic pipe and moved towards the farther end.

Meanwhile, two humanoid creatures with blue skin and claw-like jaws tried to stop the strange lightning but got electrocuted in return.

On the other hand, the eerie black lightning arcs soon passed the nearby prison rooms and disintegrated all the prison cells.

Following that, it moved further, arrived in front of a statue of a woman, and then clashed with the mysterious power that was protecting it.

The woman in the statue appears more like a human, had demonic black wings, sharp teeth with an elongated lower jaw, a pointed tail, and around 2 to three meters tall.

Even though it was a mere statue, its eyes moved to and forth and seemed to be watching the snake's movement from a faraway place!

The clash between the lightning snake and the mysterious force continued for a while, and soon the lightning snake broke past the force field before destroying the woman statue!

After that, the lightning snake turned into minute lightning arcs and disappeared from there!

A strange silence appeared in the underground prison hall, followed by a coughing sound.

Soon, a single humanoid figure walked out of one of the broken prison cells and looked at the broken statue with a confused look on his face.

The humanoid figure was a young man in his 30s and appeared skinny. He wore a torn brown cloth and held a black rod in his hand.

He had long, messy brown hair, oceanic eyes, an oval face, and thin eyebrows.

He was none other than Joel!
