Chapter 4

Edward thought that the evil spirits of the Evil Spirit Abyss were all mindless and ferocious creatures. This was a common problem of intelligent beings, when strength was enough to decide everything, intelligent beings often preferred to use their power directly. The difference between Edward's strength and the teenagers is like the difference between heaven and earth, even if all the experiments are united, Edward only needs to stretch out a hand and, he can kill all the experiments, in this, casually doesn't need to set up a seamless trap, so there are countless holes in his pretext, his attitude! For several months, Philip tried to escape from the island, he wanted to reveal the true face of Edward, for those tragic deaths of the teenagers to avenge! Philip was a smart kid, he knew that dozens of miles of strait was nothing to Edward, A middle-ranked flight magic would allow Edward to fly to the other side of the strait, while it was heavenly difficult for him, Philip! Philip had been waiting for the opportunity for Edward to go on a trip, but the opportunity refused to come, what he waited for was the fate of becoming an experiment, Philip understands that resistance is useless, he can only bear the truth and put his hope for vengeance on the Abyssal Evil Spirits, and he would rather pay all the price to get the promise of the Evil Spirits. Of course, what Philip didn't know was that when the magic array was activated, his soul would be extracted to become a medium straight to the evil spirits' abyss, and his hope would be in vain! Philip dragged his tired body and fell headlong. Philip had made the experience end well and it was a perfect success! Now it was no longer possible to call the teenager by Philip, rather, he should be called a weak soul. Once upon a time, Charles was cursing the injustice of the heavens. He did not do anything to harm the heavens and the earth, he killed people who were in the position of certain death, why let him ridiculously be stabbed to death by a meat stick? And why let him fall into the abyss of evil spirits? But as time goes by, Charles realized that the Abyss of Evil Spirits is a piece of paradise for him, among all the powerful monarchs, Charles with his wit and sensitivity kept catering to, pleasing, maneuvering, and finally developing. Almost every powerful monarch treated Charles as a good assistant who was only loyal to himself and false to other existences, but just when Charles was on the verge of rulling the hell, a strange attraction made out of the Abyss of Evil Spirits and reborn on earth. Is there actually a god? Could it be that he was afraid of destroying the chaotic yet orderly balance of the Evil Spirit Abyss? Charles closed his eyes and pondered, The law of survival in the Evil Spirit Abyss was very simple, the first thing was to protect oneself, and to become stronger and stronger! Charles had already established his goal, he believed that sooner or later he would be above all monarchs, it was not impossible to unify the Evil Spirit Abyss, it was a world where personal strength determined everything! Forget it, There was no need to think about the past, it was better to think about the present! Charles opened his eyes and yes, his cold aura flashed once Philip, had absorbed his soul fragment in the passageway. He had gained a certain amount of knowledge about this world, and he had also gained a deep understanding of Edward. Charles's ability to learn and comprehend was very strong. In the Evil Spirit Abyss, he was like a sponge desperately sucking in the knowledge that he had never come into contact with and also learned all sorts of information about the different realms worlds from the minds of the Evil Spirits. Since he had arrived, his mind was at peace! First and foremost, the ill-intentioned Edward must be dealt with! Otherwise, it was an open question whether a soul would be safe and sound or vice versa, when one is sitting in a magic formation! If the soul was used as a medium, the passage would allow countless evil spirits to descend upon the earth, instead of just one powerful being coming over, as Edward had hoped. This was a habit of Charles, whenever decision on who to kill, he always raised his state of mind to the height of Buddha, the diety he worshipped, to encourage himself However, what gave Charles a headache was that his physical body was weak to the extreme, trying to kill a sorcerer was just a dream, and in the end, he would probably get himself killed! There was another thing that gave Charles a headache, what he had absorbed was only a fragment of Philip's soul, he didn't know much about 'himself' habits or about Edward's habits. Waiting for a long time may be dangerous and since he was already there, it would be better to eradicate Edward as soon as possible, probably within few days. The soul power accumulated from the Evil Spirit Abyss turned into a crystal in Charles's Body. As if it was the crystal of some high-level magical beasts, The difference was that the magical beasts could use of the power of the magic crystal while Charles couldn't and he wasn't bothered about the reason for not being able to use it. Charles didn't have time to think about it, all that was his mind was to kill Edward as soon as possible using a very usual method! What does it mean to be a sorcerer? The ability to cast spells within few seconds and the spells work well. It was categorise into three parts. The primary, the intermediate and the advanced one. Charles has passed the primary stage and currently at the intermediate stage but he had no time to considered the advanced stage yet coz he didn't have what it takes to be at the position. Whereas, Edward has spend time to to master the high level magic. Chanting for a few seconds was enough for Charles to die a few times back and forth. Being a successful assassin, Charles liked to systematize and nuance his time, but no matter how much he thought about it, his hope of success was very slim, Charles could only continue to think hard about Edward's weaknesses from Philip's soul fragments, all the weaknesses that he could or might take advantage of, that was the only way for him to win over Edward.
