"Contly? She definitely has other intentions! Though I don't want to doubt those who once traveled with us, but her appearance was too much of a coincidence . She must have reached Herl City a while ago, mixing around with the bounty hunters and mercenaries . She wouldn't have not known what you did a day before, but she didn't appear! Instead, after your battle with the leader of the Nobles, she appeared out in a hurry! Aside from all that, we couldn't verify who she was either!"

Herbert answered after muttering softly to himself .

He was doubting Contly was a Night monster in disguise or some other kind of monster .

Kieran didn't object, but he doubted Contly as herself even more .

After all, that kind of temperament and skills couldn't be imitated that easily .

However, Kieran didn't refute Herbert's saying, but he rephrased his question in perspective of Contly as the guardian of Isogu City .

As the expert in this field, Herbert had more rights in saying, but Kieran was disappointed .

Herbert could only reply to his question with a bitter smile .

"Even after many years of studying Neegor Dynasty's history, I couldn't confirm what roles the guardians of Isogu City are playing… Because this has exceeded the study itself, but it is a matter of human heart! From the beginning of time, the most complicated thing was the human heart!"

The conversation ended with Herbert's exclamation .

Kieran continued waiting for Contly to show herself . He was patient enough to find out what she was there for .

Though as hours turned into days, Kieran didn't expect Contly went silent for a whole two weeks .



The last word that she left behind, "Not a problem, I'll find you later!" had become nothing but an empty promise . However, the unusuality didn't make Kieran anxious by any means; instead, he became more patient .

The more unusual she was, the higher the chance she was hiding something .

The moment Contly appeared would be the moment problem arrived .

Kieran waited on patiently and quietly .

During the ten days out of the two weeks, the treatment went well for Pierre and the others .

Other than Cass, Joanna's wagoner who suffered a permanent injury, the others had completely stabilized, especially Becker .

Becker was the big bloated guy that Kieran brought back; he didn't shame his tensile skin and flesh and the abilities of fast healing . On the second day he was brought back, after a full meal, he could run around behind Herbert already; most of the time was because of food .

As for the sealed location and the study of the incantations, only Harold and Cohen could provide help to Herbert .

Even though Kieran had Pro level [Mystical Knowledge] already, the incantations to open the seal was one-of-a-kind, it didn't only consist of mystical knowledge but mixed with some unique cultural influence from Neegor Dynasty, which tied Kieran's hands since he knew almost nothing about the ancient kingdom .

So when Herbert led his students to study the incantations, Kieran went on with his own .

He was studying about [The Fallen's Eye] and the Creature of Desire, or more precisely, Eye of Chimeras!

However, the efforts that Kieran spent in studying both were futile . The Eye of Chimeras didn't provide any reaction at all, as if the test from the last time scared it away .



Even when Kieran wasted one usage of [The Fallen's Eye], the result was the same .

Compared to the silent Eye of Chimeras, the other part of [Fusion Heart] was sprouting its energy from time to time .

The energy that belonged to the devil was circulating in his body in a special way, almost similar to [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art] but entirely different .

The violent energy was like the wildest horse, running rampant in Kieran's body, but it didn't clash with the warm stream of [Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art], it only…

Fuuu!

A small fire spark appeared on Kieran's left index finger, lighting the book in Kieran's hand on fire . Kieran tried his best by clapping the fire away but the book plus the carpet was a goner .

"I'm sorry!" Kieran apologized to Herbert for interruping during his studies .

The elderly scholar nodded in a kind manner and went back into his trance while Kieran was staring blankly at his left hand .

He knew the sudden spark of fire was not a coincidence, but because of [Charles's Fire] .

[Name: Charles's Fire (Master)]

[Related Attribute: None]

[Skill Type: Offense]

[Effect: Create fire with your finger, attack is Weak, burn continuously]

[Special Effect: Lineage Fire (Your bloodline is suitable to cast fire element magic, after charging 5 seconds, increase fire elemental damage by 1)]

[Consume: Stamina]

[Prerequisite: Constitution B]

[Remark: This is a spell without incantations, casting gesture and casting time . A skill created by the alchemy master fusing ancient hidden knowledge together!]

[Note: You have acquired this skill through learning, not through a Skill Book . Therefore, you cannot upgrade it with Points and Skill Points . If you want to level it up, you will need to continue learning or acquire a Skill Book!]

. . .

Kieran again went over the description of Master level [Charles's Fire] . With the buff from [Fiery Sulphur], the fire attack from [Charles's Fire] had reached Average level .

Following Kieran's Constitution reaching A, [Charles's Fire]'s level was increased again and the attack was enhanced to Strong level; it became one of the common offensive measures for him .

Truth be told, it was also one of the biggest downside of [Charles's Fire] .

The prerequisite was a major rank increase in Constitution!

Without the buff from [Fiery Sulphur], he would at least need a S rank Constitution to be able to use it commonly and the leveling cost would be a headache for him even if [Charle's Fire] didn't have any consumption when used .

However, Kieran was not concerned about that because everything was unfolding according to his plan .

Until the battle with Benz, the part of [Fusion Heart] which belonged to the devil overlord was triggered by something and it altered [Charles's Fire] in some way .

The name, effects and attributes didn't change, but a newly added special effect, [Lineage Fire]!

[Special Effect: Uncontrollable Lineage Fire II (Although your bloodline is suitable for fire magic, you haven't control it completely . After charging 5 seconds, fire elemental damage +1, but has high chances an explosion, misfire . (Able to damage friend or foe!)]

Although it was just the special effect that changed, it became a undetermined variable to Kieran since he was used to knowing well about himself and planning ahead .

Kieran disliked such a variable, let alone the effect it might cause during a battle .

In battles that could cost him his life at the slightest mistake, Kieran would never put the skill to use . Aside from that, he needed to solve the problem as soon as possible .

Following how fast was Herbert studying and deciphering the incantations, there would be an inevitable battle between them, the Mutants and the Night race .

Kieran wished not for some slight random mistakes during his battle, so he spent most of his time in the two weeks to control the fire .

The result were the ashes of the book and the big burnt hole in the carpet .

"Herbert, I'll go have some air outside!"

Kieran then walked out of the room .

Harold and Cohen in the room exchanged a gaze before they followed Kieran, leaving the room .

They had waited for this opportunity for a long time!
