Chapter 602: Fake Death

Finally, Charles saw the Inquisitor's real face and was slightly surprised. He was a young man in the prime of his twenties, blessed with sleek chestnut locks and piercing sapphire eyes, and stood at an approximate height of 175 cm, exuding an aura of confident presence. The Inquisitor donned a regal ensemble adorned with a billowing black cloak embellished with intricate silver embroidery and a gleaming silver breastplate.

As Inquisitor dashed towards him at an incredible speed, Charles calmly activated his [Accelerate Thoughts] skill and observed him.

Simultaneously, a blue notification popped up before his eyes, showing a row of information about the Inquisitor.

…

'Oh? He even mastered swordsmanship to an advanced level? And what is this Swift Silver Stab?'

'It's a High level swordsmanship technique, host. It will allow the swordmasters to enter a state of swiftness and even allow them to even teleport to a short distance.'

By the time Genesis explained to Charles, Edwin had already arrived much closer to him and attacked him madly with his sword.

Charles adjusted his body strength similar to that of a Rank-3 Mystic and barely dodged the sword attack.

At that moment, Edwin showed an enraged look and shouted.

"You are dead! Not only you badmouthed His Holiness, but you even went further and almost made me doubt my wife!!" With bloodshot eyes, he activated the [Inquisitor] Class's [Righteous Pursuit] skill and increased his overall speed temporarily.

"Let's see how you are going to dodge this time." He said coldly, channeling strange light energy into his sword.

A second later, a golden aura formed around the sword's edges and glowed intensely.

On the other hand, Charles suddenly leaped towards the left and started staggeringly running towards the balcony.

"Humph! Trying to escape?"

Edwin let out a cold laugh, almost arrived behind him in a second, and slashed his sword.

A second later, the sword made a rippling noise and flew toward Charles's neck at an incredible speed.

But before the aura blade could cut his neck, Charles bent his body and barely managed to evade it.

No, Edwin saw a sharp cut on the left side neck and grinned.

"Now, let me kill you without any pain." He said while licking his lips and kicking him.

Meanwhile, Charles crashed on the handrail and coughed up.

At the same time, he used his right hand to stop the bleeding and tried to stand up.

"W-Why are you attacking me all of a sudden? Aren't you afraid of my background?" Charles asked while showing a hint of fear on his face.

"Humph. You yourself said that Miracle's City ownership had already transferred to another person. Even if I kill you now, there is no way the new Miracle City owner will care about it." A mocking grin appeared on Inquisitor's face.

Meanwhile, Charles turned his face pale and angrily glared at the Inquisitor.

"You may be stronger than me, but I'm not easily bullied!"

Saying so, he raised his right hand and conjured a reddish ball of fire.

Although it appeared only around the size of a human head, it released a strange fire elemental fluctuation, causing the surrounding temperature to rise.

Edwin's eyes squinted as he saw the terrifying ball of fire.

"Heathen! No wonder you blasphemed His Holiness without any fear! It turns out you are also the follower of wicked power. Now, I can kill without any fear of facing punishment from the higher-ups."

He grabbed both hilts as he spoke and activated his unique skill called 'Purge Corruption.'

A blinding sunshine ray suddenly burst out from the tip of his sword and shot at incredible speed toward Charles.

On the other hand, Charles showed a frightened look and tried to toss the fireball at the upcoming beam.

A second later, the sunshine beam and Charles's fireball collided, creating a loud explosion and a shockwave.

The whole balcony and the wall exploded into pieces the next moment while Charles was thrown out of the building.

On the other hand, Edwin was also pushed back by the shockwave and staggered a bit.

"That guy's spell is so powerful!' He saw how that fireball managed to stop his 'Purge Corruption' skill and became more resolute in killing him.

Without any delay, he gripped his sword tighter and jumped down from the second floor.

Within two seconds, he landed on the ground and hurriedly searched for Charles. He knew the explosion wasn't enough to kill him and searched the surroundings like a hawk.

In a split second, he saw a black-haired young man desperately running in the southern direction and dashed forward.

"You are not going anywhere!" Edwin let out a cold laugh and chased after him. But to his surprise, he noticed that this criminal was faster than him and seemed to know the routes well.

The chase continued like a cat and mouse for the next few minutes. Finally, Charles reached the South Borough with the help of Genesis and quietly moved forward.

As he ventured into Slum Borough, he found himself standing at the entrance of a gloomy alley. The towering structures on either side were leaned precariously. The smell of decay hung in the air, mingling with the acrid tang of garbage and forgotten dreams. Dilapidated wooden crates and discarded debris litter the alley, forming makeshift barriers and hiding places for the destitute souls seeking refuge from the unforgiving world outside.

Charles walked in a zigzag manner and finally halted his footsteps as he found a quiet place.

Even though it was only 9 in the morning, not even a single soul was seen nearby.

Edwin also arrived behind him while breathing heavily and appeared enraged.

"It appears to be true that even a cornered rat will exhibit defiance." His cold voice echoed through the gloomy alley.

On the other hand, Charles slowly turned around and raised his hand to cast a spell.

In a split second, more than twenty balls of fire came out of thin air and flew toward Edwin.

But Edwin calmly evaded the fireballs and shook his head.

"Your fire magic is only to burn wooden huts and woods." He mocked while showing his fingers at the nearby palm tree huts.

"N-No! This is not the end. I still have my trump card." Charles spoke hoarsely and raised his hand again.

"Humph! You are too slow." Before he could cast his trump card spell, Edwin suddenly disappeared from there and appeared behind Charles.

At the same time, he moved his long sword at an incredible speed and directly stabbed him from behind.

Before Charles could open his mouth, a sharp sword covered in crimson blood appeared on his right chest.

"H-Have mercy!" A desperate cry rang out of Charles's mouth as he fell to his knees. His eyes widened, and his breath grew hard.

"Too late," Edwin placed his left leg on Charles's back and pulled his sword back before sheathing it.

On the other hand, Charles opened his mouth to cry, but no words came out.

Like a helpless lamb, he slowly fell on the dirt road and breathed heavily.

Upon seeing him dying, Edwin walked closer to Charles's face and placed his foot on his neck.

"If you hadn't badmouthed His Holiness and even spouted nonsense about my wife, I would've let you see tomorrow."

Upon hearing those words, Charles showed a bitter smile and barely managed to spit out a few words.

"I didn't lie. All the words I said were truth."

"You still haven't learned your lesson, didn't you?" A ruthless expression appeared on Edwin's face as he pressed his leg harder and directly broke his neck.

Charles's body shook violently like a beheaded lamb for the next few seconds and slowly went silent.

"Finally dead, huh?" Edwin spat on his dead body and quietly moved away from it.

At that moment, he noticed the fire spreading toward the surrounding huts and fiercely burning everything in its path.

Not only that, the nearby burning hut suddenly crashed on the corpse and started embracing it in a strange bluish fire.

"It seems I don't need to inform Slum leader Nicole to dispose of his corpse." Edwin shook his head and quietly walked away from there.

Seconds passed, and slowly cries and shouts of women and children came from a distance.

The fire spread all the surrounding areas and caused great chaos in the slums.

Within the burning hut, a small human figure started to take shape and soon walked out of the burning fire.

He was a deep-blue-haired young man in his mid-twenties and appeared bare naked.

"Faking death is more difficult than battling a legend rank powerhouse." He commented casually and took out a casual dress from his space ring.

After changing into a normal linen cloth, he wore a black hooded robe over his dress.

"My next job is to stop the disaster. I should go and take a closer look at the upcoming disaster." As he muttered, he quietly manipulated the surrounding spatial energy through his false fire and teleported from there.

A second later, he appeared thousands of meters above the Holy City and looked up at the clear blue sky.

Simultaneously, he cast [Wings of the Fallen Angel] spell, flapped the wings forcefully, and shot upward.
