Chapter 168: 168: Destiny

'There is not even a description about this spell?' He frowned for a moment and selected the only option.

A moment later, countless runal words flew from the System Cube and started constructing the spell model.

Four hours later, a brand new spell model appeared in front of him.

It was a few times larger than the previous one and looked yellowish-white in color.

'This spell model shows curiosity, craziness, and unpredictability.' Charles got stunned for a moment and soon noticed that his connection between the Inner World and his body had increased to two folds!

He closed his eyes and realized that he could borrow power from his Inner World at a large amount.

'If I face a normal Rank-4 Mystic, I could stall against him for more than five minutes. If I receive some help from the Holem's Crown, I might even battle against him equally. But if I face a mage class mystic or a duel class mystic, I might not stand against them for more than 30 seconds. No, I might be forced to a corner in a minute. If my luck is bad, I might end up dead in their hands.' Charles still felt that there was a considerable gap between the two Ranks and shook his head.

' Hmm, there are still 12,141 Exp points remaining. I should now focus on comprehending the spell models and Rank-up the Sub-Class before the end of this Mandatory Mission. I have a vague feeling this mission is more dangerous than any other missions.' He nodded thoughtfully and soon turned his attention towards his Sub-Class section.

'I also need to practice these skills from time to time and increase the skill levels through training. I should save these free skill points and only uses them when I face some obstruction during the training.' While thinking deeply, Charles returned to the ground and silently left the Inner World.

A second later, he opened his eyes in the underground basement, picked the black cane, and stood up.

"It's time to go to the Royal Capital of Iron Kingdom." A smile appeared on his face.

In his actual plan, their journey should start after 50 days. But Charles had already constructed all his spell models and even increased his wisdom to a considerable level. As long as he didn't face a Rank-4 Mage or a dual-class Mystic, he wouldn't be forced into a bad situation.

'Moreover, the Churches seemed to be already warned the Nobles and Royal Faction members not to involve Rank-4 Mystics in the fight.' He gripped the cane's handle, went near the staircase, and soon walked out of the underground basement.

At that moment, the Holem's Crown suddenly said something in his mind.

'Lad, why not allow that lass to walk on her own?'

He abruptly halted his footsteps and furrowed his brows.

'What do you mean?'

'You see, the Fate always acts mysteriously. The more you interfere with her Fate, the more variations will appear in her future. It may turn into a fortunate one or an unfortunate one. If my guess is not wrong, the Series Artifact might have chosen her as the future Queen of Iron Kingdom. If so, there is a high chance she might receive benefits from the artifact on her own.'

'But if you interfere with her Fate, it will not only anger the artifact; the lass might even die an unfortunate death in the future. One more thing, you are still not strong enough to face a Series artifact, lad. The reasons you manage to obtain me are due to countless schemes and luck, remember that.' The Holem's Crown said in a cold tone.

On the other hand, Charles frowned a bit and said in a mysterious tone.

'But you are still wrong about one thing, Mr. Runeth. What if I'm also a pawn in the other party's plan?'

'Hmm? Are you saying that your meeting with Rhea was a planned one?' Even the Holem's Crown became surprised for a moment.

'Wait... It is possible. Then-' The Holem's Crown abruptly paused for a moment and then added in a serious tone.

'Rhea might be the artifact's target instead.'

'Artifact's target?' Charles asked in a surprised tone.

'Yes. Before I tell you about my theory, I will give you a short explanation of how Fate works. Every person's Fate is interlinked with multiple persons' Fate. So, when you change one's fate, it will cause a butterfly effect. But changing one's Fate is not an easy matter for a normal person.'

'No, even the Series artifacts, High-Rank [Astrologer] Class Mystics can't do it. Anyone who was born in this world is already linked to the Fate of this world. So, even if they try to alter it, they might found it impossible to do. They will face unpredictable obstacles. Like I told you before, Fate always acts mysteriously.' The Holem's Crown paused for a moment and then added after a short deliberation.

'I have a vague feeling that the assassination incident that happened two years ago might be not a simple one, lad. Someone might have seen Rhea's future using Rodia's Gem and tried to kill her along with her whole family members before she could become a real threat.'

'But the Blood Priest kidnapped her just before the kidnapping incident... Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Do you think an artifact that could even manipulate a Rank-4 Mystic can make such a silly mistake? If my guess is not wrong, something else must have interfered with the artifact's power and helped Rhea to escape.'

'Something else? Are you saying there is something else more powerful than Rodia's Gem lurking in this kingdom?' Charles's whole body stiffened up.

'No. It is lurking in the whole world and controlling everything in the shadows. It is the 'Will' of this Edhen. And, it's not controlling everyone's Fate, but Destiny. It's a power that could even decide a God's life and death.' The Holem's Crown said in a calm tone.

'Destiny...' Charles felt like a tiny ant.

'Yes. The 'Will' of the world already chose Rhea as the successor of the Iron Kingdom. But someone didn't want that to happen, so they must have searched for a variable.' The Holem's Crown suddenly paused.

At that moment, Charles also suddenly got enlightened.

'Irregular! They need an Irregular to alter her Fate, so they choose me.' A cold light flickered in his eyes.

'Yes, Irregulars rarely appear in this world. So, your arrival at this timing somehow attracted this someone.' The Holem's Crown didn't continue.

But Charles already knew the answer.

'They want me to change her fate, so they could kill her later without facing any difficulty.'

'Yes, so whatever you are going to do, you must plan carefully and never show any flaw. Moreover, you need to be careful of Rank-3 mages.' The Holem's Crown added.

'Mages... They are always a troublesome bunch.' He frowned for a moment and soon spoke coldly.

'Mr. Runeth, try to steal all of my opponent's luck from now on. If possible, steal away their lifetime luck.'

'Steal the opponents' entire lifetime lucks? Isn't that going a little overboard? Won't that alert the opposite party?' The Holem's Crown still had some morals when it comes to stealing one's luck, so it began to hesitate.

'Humph, so what? They all are going to die anyway.' Charles snorted coldly. Then, he suddenly thought of something and soon frowned.

'Your 'Miracle' ability can change one's fate, right? No, wait... Can it change one's Destiny?' His eyes suddenly widened.

'Hoho, you finally realized? Yes, my 'Miracle' ability indeed can change one's Destiny. But to achieve that, I need hundreds of thousands of peoples' lifetime luck power in return. It means this ability will change hundreds of thousands of peoples' Fate and cause great chaos. No, great chaos should be an understatement.'

'From now on, steal all the opponents' luck and save them to change one's Destiny then.' Charles said calmly and started walking towards the backyard entrance.
