Chapter 137: A Smile of Ridicule

Charles suddenly felt that his body blood pressure was starting to slow down!

Although Destiny Lady\'s strange skill wasn\'t as effective as on Red Prince\'s body, it still caused Charles to breathe harder.

Next, his limbs also started to go numb.

\'Damn it, do I have to use my last card now?\' He thought for a moment and soon shook his head.

\'I can manage.\'

He then focused his attention on the Starfall Codex Magic Book and continued to chant in Runal Language.

At the exact moment, he also took out the Ember Pistol from his space ring, aimed it towards the Red Prince, turned the hammer, and squeezed the trigger.

The Devil\'s Incarnation also noticed his action and tried its best to block the crimson bullet, but it couldn\'t!

The crimson bullet tore through the air and almost appeared in front of Red Prince\'s face.

At that moment, Red Prince\'s falling body also reached the ground. His head was only a few feet away from crashing on the ground!

As the bullet was about to land on his right side cheek, he suddenly twisted his lips and spat out two words.

"Fate Change."

In an instant, his body suddenly stopped falling and suspended in the air!

The crimson bullet directly landed on his face, tore through his cheek, and was about to explode but stopped.

No, a pitch-black flame suddenly came out of his cheek and devoured the crimson bullet in a blink.

Only a few droplets of blood fell from his cheek!

In the meantime, Destiny Lady\'s body went stiff all of a sudden.

Her scarlet eyes widened as she understood that the enemy had used [Fate Change] skill and directed it on her own body!

"Disperse." She shouted in a hurry.

After that, she took out a white amulet from her space ring, placed it over her chest, and exhaled.

The next instant, arcs of electric sparks came out from the amulet and spread all over her body for a second before disappearing!

Then, her body\'s blood circulation began to stabilize and returned to normal in seconds.

On the other hand, Red Prince let out a loud grunt and started flapping his black wings once again.

"You are seeking death." He spoke as he looked at Charles for a moment and spat a mouthful of blood.

Reddish black liquid came out from his mouth and fell like raindrops.

Unknown to Red Prince and Destiny Lady, a single drop of blood didn\'t fall on the ground. Instead, it started flying towards Charles at a fast speed!

It was due to Charles\'s [Hand of Mystery] skill!

In three seconds, the blood droplet suddenly appeared in front of the Starfall Codex Magic Book.

\'Hmm, my next job is to put the blood on this 19th page right corner and let it absorb into the book.\' Charles controlled the blood droplet and let it slowly land on the page.

If someone looks closely at the spell page, they would see that even the spell name was covered in white paint.

Charles was following his plan all this time, and even he knew nothing about this spell name or the spell\'s effect.

When Charles made the plan, he completely sealed his memory about this spell inside his Incarnation and hid it in his Inner-World.

As the blood droplet touched the page, the black-covered book suddenly turned eerier, and it even started to emit dim red light!

"What are you doing, mortal?" Devil\'s Incarnation also got started for a moment as it noticed the strangeness and asked in puzzlement.

Soon, it let out a chuckle and added while slamming its black sword against the [Sun\'s Glare] spell.

"Futile. You are nothing but a pawn, Charles. Give up and die."

In the meantime, black fires appeared from Red Prince\'s body, soon fell on the ground, and then started moving towards the blood river quickly.

Red Prince\'s face was also covered in sweats and appeared paler.

\'I\'m holding my breath for more than a minute and I\'m already starting to feel dizzy. I won\'t be able to stay here for more than 30 seconds.\' He thought inwardly and continued to hold his breath.

Anyone could tell that he was severely wounded inside and was in a dangerous situation.

Destiny Lady didn\'t even glance at Red Prince\'s body condition and spoke in a cold tone.

"Let\'s see who is seeing death here."

Once she finished those words, she conjured an ice arrow, aimed it towards the blood river, and released it.

Before the black fire could touch the blood river, the crystalline ice arrow entered the river and completely froze it!

"Your black fire can indeed pollute the blood river. But can it do the same to ice? Moreover, you thought of absorbing the life energy in the river to regain some strength, right? Too bad, I already saw through your plan." A mocking grin appeared on her face.

Simultaneously, her scarlet eyes started to flicker.

A moment later, the whole frozen blood river started to tremble.

Then, the ice river started to mold and soon formed into a monstrous red crystalline snake!

It was a hundred times larger than those previous snakes!

It had gem-like black eyes, its icy reddish scales were sharp as knives, and its two poisonous fangs appeared pitch blackish color!

The crystalline snake raised its head and started slithering towards Devil\'s Incarnation at a fast speed.

Each of its movements caused the nearby area to vibrate.

Within two seconds, it arrived in front of the Devil\'s Incarnation, opened its wide mouth, and swallowed it directly.

Although the Devil\'s Incarnation used its black blade to resist, the crystalline snake\'s fangs directly tore through the Incarnation and soon broke it into multiple pieces.

The snake then looked at Charles for a moment, then slithered towards the sky, and soon appeared beside Destiny Lady.

Like a real Goddess of Snake, Destiny Lady landed on the crystalline snake\'s head and stood on it.

Although she noticed that Charles was doing something sneakily, she didn\'t put much thought into it and focused her full attention on Red Prince.

Meanwhile, Red Prince blinked his eyes as he saw the crystalline snake and then looked around in confusion and puzzlement.

"This is not a Pseudo Doman… This… Is it a Pocket Dimension?" He asked while raising his brows.

An amusing smile appeared on Destiny Lady\'s face as she shook her head and chuckled.

"You are only Half-Correct, Devil. This world is a Pocket Dimension but it also has the power of Pseudo Domain."

"Wait… Did you guys use a Series Artifact to strengthen this Pocket Dimension and turn it into a Fake Plane? Hmm, that explains why you control the world like your own Inner-World. So, the one who manipulates the blood abilities is not you, but the Series Artifact, huh." Red Prince wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and cheek and nodded his head in understanding.

"Impressive. But why are you still showing a calm expression on your face?" This time, Destiny Lady showed a confused expression.

At that moment, she suddenly felt a sharp headache from the depth of her head.

Confusion and puzzlement appeared on her face, and soon she felt her heart began to beat faster.

\'It\'s a premonition.\' She also felt her own Fate Strings began to waver a bit.

She hurriedly took out a scroll from her space ring and asked in an anxious tone.

"Who are you?"

Upon hearing those words, the corner of Red Prince\'s lips suddenly curled upward and formed into a grin.

He then bowed his head and spoke with a polite smile on his face.

"I\'m the former Devil Lord of Fate and Destiny."

Once he finished those words, Destiny Lady suddenly felt a chill crept up to her spine!

Simultaneously, a dense amount of chaotic black energy started to gather around Red Prince\'s body.

"Devil Lord of Fate and Destiny… Red Prince… Goat Horns… Wait… Are you the Red Devil? Oh, Holy God of Blood! You must be the terrifying abomination who once invaded our planet with an army of 10 million devils!"

Her eyes widened in shock and terror!

She clearly knew about the history of planar wars and got panicked inside.

Upon seeing her panicking expression, a pleased smile appeared on Red Prince\'s face.

But a second later, that smile disappeared.

With an alarmed look on their faces, both Red Prince and Destiny Lady turned their heads towards Charles in unison.

Meanwhile, Charles held an eerie book in his hand, ended his chant, and then started to smile.

It was a smile of ridicule!

Simultaneously, the Incarnation inside his Inner World released some specific memory about the spell, its effects, and a few bits of his original plan!

"Charles! No!"

Red Prince suddenly felt a new type of change in his own Fate and bellowed in anger and hate.

For the first time, he felt a strong sense of danger!

At that moment, Destiny Lady also understood that Charles was the one who created the whole commotion to distract her and became stunned!

Soon, rage appeared in her scarlet eyes.

Before they could say another word, Charles lifted his hand, pointed his finger at Red Prince, and spoke.

"Life Curse."

A moment later, Red Prince suddenly felt his mortal human body started to weaken.
