The First Magic World War

Charles, as a Level Eighteen Transcendent, feared no one below the Sacred level.

He had consecutively destroyed eighteen Ghost Ships and even killed three Sacred-level Ghost Crew members. Although these crew members no longer possessed their former strength and only retained some characteristics of the Sacred level, he suddenly sensed a slight change in the power within his body, having gained a Bloody Rune from the Adonis Clan.

When he first came into contact with the Bloody Glory, he had devoted the most effort to the powers of the Adonis Clan, condensing five Bloody Runes: Blood Flame Qi, Bloodflame Transformation Art, Flame Hand, Flame Scorching Blast Bullet, and the Magic Flame Horse, but later he shifted his focus to the powers of the Asilo Clan. Recently, after putting great effort into the powers of the Van Gaal Family and Arthur Clan, he had somewhat neglected the Secret Technique of the Adonis Clan.

The newly condensed Bloody Rune bestowed upon Charles Mecklen an entirely new Special Ability — Blood Flame Magic Spear.

This ability exclusively used Blood Energy to condense a Transcendent firearm!

The Adonis Clan, one of the Six Kings of the bloodsucking clans, excelled mainly in mid to long-range combat with control abilities, but their Gunmanship was also quite formidable, second only to the Arthur Clan.

In fact, the Adonis Clan had two abilities mainly developed to complement the Gun Fighting Technique: one was the Flame Scorching Blast Bullet and the other was the Blood Flame Magic Spear!

Charles, without having undergone the orthodox combat training of the Adonis Clan, had reached first-rate standards in gunmanship under Juno's training. However, neither the Flame Scorching Blast Bullet nor the Blood Flame Magic Spear were powerful enough to handle the intense combat against Ghost Ships.

He felt a twinge of regret and did not entertain the idea of activating the Blood Flame Magic Spear, continuing instead to destroy his enemies with the Flame Knight Lance.

A towering figure suddenly appeared, letting out a ferocious roar before smashing down a punch!

Charles, using the Power of Insight, sensed the power of the punch and opted not to take it head-on but to drift back instead.

If he had chosen to take it head-on, he could have pierced the enemy with his spear, but it would have cost him a serious injury. Exchanging blows with a Ghost Crew member was simply a poor bargain.

Spotting the Ghost Crew member, Charles gasped in surprise, exclaiming, "There are even Beastmen among the sailors?"

This was a massive Beastman who, if not mistaken, should be an Elephant-man like Agon. Although dead, the body was perfectly preserved with thick and solid Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit, showing no signs of decay.

Charles took out the Red Rattlesnake and fired seven or eight shots. The Blood Energy Bullets that hit the ghost Elephant-man only created ripples and were unable to inflict any damage, blocked by the protective Bloodthirsty Fighting Spirit.

The ghost Elephant-man roared and charged forward with large strides.

Charles would have chosen to retreat and then deal with the battle using firearms, but his previous attempt had already revealed that his opponent was no ordinary Sacred level; likely a strong figure among the Sacred level before death, which explained the formidable combat strength after death.

He did not wish to engage in battle at all and leaped off the Ghost Ship; before he could choose another target, he felt as if something had grabbed him tightly, and with a whoosh, he was back on the Holy Light Divine State Title.

In this mysterious space, the Holy Light Divine State Title was an astoundingly grand palace radiating a cleansing glow that engulfed everything. Whenever it came close to the Isemeren Palace, even the slightest friction would exude an Earth-shattering momentum.

It was like a spark hitting Earth, or the Southern Heavenly Gate clashing with Mount Sumeru.

Omibella, her face alight with excitement, called out, "Charles, that was impressive of you!"

"That battle was fantastic!"

"I am proud of you, and so is Amon."

Dapocirodo somehow fetched a flower crown, smilingly placing it atop Charles's head. Charles dared not keep such an object on his head and quickly removed it, feeling it writhing and screeching in his hands, though the others seemed not to notice.

Charles hastily discarded the floral crown, seemingly unnoticed by Dapocirodo, who maintained her Elf Queen's poise.

Amon did give Charles a gesture, but the other two remained motionless, with the serpentine Posuji still appearing indolent. However, the food being eaten by the King of the Giant Whales was undeniably familiar—it was the very ghost elephant-man with whom Charles Meklen had fiercely battled just moments before.

It seemed to put up quite a struggle, but was still ruthlessly stuffed into the mouth of the plump and voluptuous woman, who swallowed it whole without even chewing.

Charles wondered whether he should mourn for the ghost elephant-man. Although they had fought evenly, it was simply treated as a snack by the Evil God and devoured in large gulps without being savored.

Charles asked softly, "May I return now?"

Omibella shrieked, "How could you?"

"How could you leave us?"

"Amon, is your father going to leave us?"

Amon wore a helpless expression, yet he still made the same gesture to Charles as before.

Following the gesture, Charles looked and saw an odd gap. Without any hesitation, he flipped over and jumped through it.

The next second, Charles reappeared on the "Holy Light Divine State Title."

The situation around him remained unchanged, only Juno had a slightly puzzled expression on her face.

Charles asked, "Teacher, what happened to me just now?"

Juno replied, "You were just called over by several Evil Gods for a chat. Do you not remember it yourself?"

Charles said sheepishly, "What was my behavior like on this side?"

Juno replied, "I didn't notice any change in you; you acted completely normal. If I hadn't also touched that realm, I'd probably have detected nothing."

Charles, still frightened, asked, "What should I do?"

"What if they take me away again, and I can't return?"

Juno shrugged and said, "I've suggested that you should take the opportunity to get rid of this ship."

"But you won't choose that suggestion."

"Even though it's the only correct one."

Charles sighed. He knew that discarding the Holy Light Divine State Title was the best option, but he truly couldn't bear to, considering it was a Legendary Warship after all.

He glanced outside; the Holy Light Divine State Title was still heavily engaged in fighting the Ghost Ship, and his own fleet had long since been out of sight. Charles said, "Shall we continue fighting?"

Juno replied, "It seems you have no other option."

"I've tried to intervene, but couldn't break the Labyrinth Power. At least until we gain some combat advantage, we can't withdraw."

"This Labyrinth is somewhat peculiar, but I believe the next one won't be as strong."

Staring into the distance at the Isemeren Palace floating on the sea, Charles suddenly said, "How about we go for a direct confrontation with that floating palace?"
