Chapter 406 - Reborn

Chapter 406: Reborn

But when Charles changed from soul form to the other three states, he sensed the change around the surroundings and felt warmth for a moment.

'I finally left the Astral Realm!' Joy flashed on his face.

But when he changed into his physical form, he felt a suffocative feeling!

Not only that, but he also saw blisters appear all over his skin.

Without any delay, he changed into an elemental form.

He knew that his physical body wouldn't survive in this hot temperature for more than a few seconds and acted swiftly.

But to his shock, he even felt a strange suffocative feeling in this elemental form. With no other choice, he again changed into his soul form and returned to the Astral Realm!

'Damn! I need to be careful from now on..' He nodded inwardly, controlled the Red Tear through his own Will, and moved in the opposite direction. At that moment, he also shifted his attention towards his Inner World and then entered.

Currently, he could also do multi-tasking!

While his soul controlled the Rebirth Flame to move away from the Rebirth Star, he reappeared at the summit of a destroyed mountain and checked his elemental form.

Although there wasn't much difference after his soul mutation, he knew that his lifespan had already improved to a significant margin!

'Currently, my lifespan should be around 50,000 years.' If he had obtained the soul mutation through a normal means, his lifespan would've increased to 200,000 years!

'But that's the level of Demi-Gods.' He shook his head and soon shifted his attention towards the sky.

At that moment, Midea descended from the sky and soon landed on his shoulder.

"It's time for us to part away, Midea." He said with a frown.

"Oh? You already healed your soul? What a monster!" Midea commented.

Then, she released opened her mouth and sent out a ray of a crimson streak.

A second later, that single streak moved out of his Inner World and soon enveloped the Red Tear.

"Remove the Red Tear." She ordered.

Meanwhile, Charles nodded his head and erased the Rebirth Flame essences with a simple thought.

"It's done." He said.

On the other hand, Midea flapped her red wings, flew above his head, and spoke.

"I placed the exact coordinate of your world in the crimson flame. As long as you continue to follow the crimson flame, you'll return to Edhen World in a few minutes."

On the other hand, Charles looked up at the Fire Bird and asked.

"Are you okay with your decision? Don't you want to live a new life?" He asked while making his face a sad one.

In truth, he needed an assistant. As long as this bird was in his side, he could escape from any danger and return to Edhen World safe and soul.

'Pity, this Fire Bird had already made up its mind.' A deep sigh leaked out of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Midea let out a loud humming sound and flapped her wings wide.

A second later, she directly left his Inner World, appeared in the Astral Realm, and encircled his soul form.

After that, she flapped her wings, made a screeching noise, and flew towards the Rebirth Star.

On the other hand, the crimson flame around Charles's soul form suddenly accelerated its speed and moved forward.

After some time, an invisible ripple came out of the crimson flame, compressed the space in front, and expanded it behind.

Soon, Charles noticed that the whole surroundings turned into white lines. But no wormhole appeared this time.

Instead, the crimson flame traveled 27 times at the speed of light for the next 10 hours and soon slowed down as it reached a specific destination.

Then, it moved in a different direction and once again accelerated its speed by bending the space.

But in just a few seconds, Charles saw a tunnel-like entrance opened up in the front!

At that moment, he suddenly realized that he had come here through this same portal!

'So, there is a portal connection between this place and Edhen's outer space, huh.' He was shocked inside.

While he was in shock, the crimson flame moved rapidly and soon entered the wormhole tunnel.

Like the last time, he saw similar myriads of stars and nebulas and looked around in curious as the crimson flame moved deep into the tunnel.

...

Light Church, Saint Town, Kingdom of Light, Faith Realm (Mid Plane), Ditune Galaxy.

It was around 2 A.M.

At that moment, a 30-year-old man lay on a wooden bed and was in the middle of deep sleep. He had messy blonde hair, a round face, a hawk nose, thick eyebrows, and appeared muscular. His name was Victor.

Although he held the position of a Bishop, he was nothing more than a despicable man in the Light Church members' eyes. Not even a guard would show respect to him. The main reason for that was his current physical strength and a bad reputation. Even though he was a high-ranked Bishop, he was nothing more than a scoundrel and a worthless mortal in the Light Church members' eyes.

Like the Edhen World, the Faith Realm also had people with mystical powers. But unlike the Mages and Class-Gem pathway Mystics, the ones who appeared most in this plane were called Knights.

The Knights use strange awakening methods and strengthen their bodies with heavy training. The more they battle, the more their physical strength would rise. Not only that, but they also practice a strange form of sword dance and use their pure soul intent in the form of aura around their weapons to battle.

Like the Edhen World, there was also a level system in this Faith Realm.

The first level knights were called True Knights; the second level was called Expert Knights, then Crystal Knights, Radiant Knights, Saints, and finally the Awakens. Those who reached the realm of Saints were called the protectors of this land. As for the Awakens, they were the true pillars of each kingdom in this Faith Realm.

Yes, Light Kingdom wasn't the only kingdom in this Mid-Plane. More than ten kingdoms appeared around this Light Kingdom, and these kingdoms were constantly waging war against each other.

Now, let's come to the current topic.

To become a True Knight, one needed to awaken their true elements through a ceremony. It was the light elemental affinity awakening ceremony.

Those with light affinities with above-average levels would receive a slight boost and then get the qualification to become True Knights of the Kingdom of Light.

Unfortunately, Bishop Victor wasn't a lucky person.

He had a low light affinity. But using his father's influence, he managed to obtain the Light Bishop position. His action invoked hatred among all the light believers. Most of the priests and even the knights of the Light Church hated him for that.

But what's more funny thing was that he was the most honest person in this whole kingdom and never lied during the past four years. He would pray to the Goddess Zaqiel five times a day and would do three ceremonial rituals. Not only that, but he would also visit the orphanage regularly and preach about the Al-Mighty Goddess.

Even the Holiness of Light Pope personally visited him two years ago and honored him with the title of the Truth Bearer.

But he wasn't like this around four and a half years ago, though. He was an alcoholic and involved in many bad habits like smoking, bet fighting, illegal racing, etc. Moreover, he was also a gambling addict.

Although he changed now, most Light Church members were still thinking of him as a vile fellow and loathed him to the core.

If not for his high-rank position, many priests might have sent assassins to kill him.

Unfortunately, he became a holy saint in the commoners' eyes.

It all changed on a fateful day. Four and a half years ago, he received a gift from the Goddess Zaqiel herself and chose to walk on the path of righteousness.

Well, that's what he had told others when they asked about his change in character.

In reality, that gift was none other than the Holy Book, which Udnir created using the constellations.

Currently, it remained on the nearby table and continued to show a series of numbers.

No, it wasn't numbers but countdown.

[0 Years, 0 months, 0 days, 0 minutes, 7 seconds...]

[0 Years, 0 months, 0 days, 0 minutes, 6 seconds...]

...

[0 Years, 0 months, 0 days, 0 minutes, 3 seconds...]

[0 Years, 0 months, 0 days, 0 minutes, 2 seconds...]

[0 Years, 0 months, 0 days, 0 minutes, 1 second...]

...

As the strange countdown ended, two invisible ripples came out of the Holy Book and moved in two different directions.

One invisible ripple moved towards sleeping Victor, while the other created a crack in the space and disappeared into the void.

After that, a strange silence appeared in the small room.

But a few seconds later, Victor showed a painful look on his face and soon sat up with a horrified look on his face.

He then hurriedly touched his neck and showed a confused look on his face.

"What happened? Wait. My hand!" He then looked at his right hand and showed a disbelief look on his face.

'H-How!? I lost my hand one year ago, right? Moreover, how did I come back to life? That heathen killed me, right?' While muttering to himself, he looked around the surroundings and soon widened his eyes.

"W-Wait! Isn't this my old room?! How did I return here?" He hurriedly lit the nearby lamp and soon turned his gaze towards his reflection that appeared in the opposite mirror.

"D-Did I return to the past?" His expression stiffened.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of a strange divine book and soon widened his eyes in shock.

"Oh! Almighty Goddess of the Truth and Light! So, it was your doing, huh! I'll not fail again! I'll make a perfect plan and kill that evil sorcerer!" He looked up at the sky and spoke in an icy tone.

But he soon regained his senses and checked his own body.

"No, I need to strengthen myself first. I've time to make preparations for future battles. There are three more years left for our first confrontation. But this time, I'm going to kill that flame demon sorcerer first. Before that, I've to find the Ice awakening stone and become a True Knight." A cold glint appeared in his eyes.
