Chapter 329 - Chapter 329: Chapter 313: The Cause of Fischers Downfall (2/2)
He bit open his index finger, allowing the blood to seep out, and crouched on the floor of his home to begin outlining. Soon, he had drawn an array made entirely of active, vibrant blood.
Afterward, Karno took a white candle and placed it in front of the array while he himself sat in the center, with no intention of lighting the candle.
The white candle symbolized all of Karno’s lifespan.
If it were to burn out, or even fall to the ground, Karno would die immediately as his lifespan ran out.
So, what should he prophecy?
He closed his eyes, pondering. In the Dream Prophecy, every member of the Fischer family had died. Should he inquire about the cause of their deaths?
“Wait a moment, Uncle Byrne’s cause of death seems to be different from the others?”
What exactly was going on?
Ultimately, Karno made an important decision.
He would ask two questions, the first solely about the cause of Uncle Byrne’s death, and the second about the cause of death for the entire family.
The Spell was silently chanted in his mouth…
Flames suddenly appeared on the white candle!
Karno’s body was struck with a sharp pain, a peculiar sensation of life peeling away from him that made him feel almost transcendently bewildered.
“What was the cause of Uncle Byrne’s death?”
As he asked the question, the air around him seemed to freeze, and the night was filled with endless darkness and malice, with numerous eyes from the deepest abyss staring at the man’s soul.
“Quick!”
Finally, after five years of his lifespan had been consumed, Karno learned the cause of Uncle Byrne’s death!
The whispers and murmurs behind him answered him.
Karno absolutely could not turn back.
“To die from the exhaustion of all one’s lifespan…”
He instinctively bent over, breathing deeply, constantly fighting the discomfort in his body, even feeling the urge to vomit, but he committed the predicted future to memory.
“Is it because of this reason…”
Karno knew he needed to persist a little longer, so he reluctantly straightened his back and continued to chant the Spell he had just used before calmly asking the next question.
“Why is the Fischer family going to be nearly wiped out soon?”
The flame burned further down the white candle.
His lifespan was gradually being consumed.
His hair started to turn white at the temples.
The next moment, Karno’s eyes widened, and his whole body trembled with fear.
How could this be?
What on earth was that thing!
He saw a huge phantom!
It was a gentleman wearing a white bone bird mask, his massive form as if standing between the sky and the earth, embodying the ultimate representative of death, his mere presence commanding endless authority.
The entire world seemed to slow to a halt.
The next moment, it consciously turned its head!
Karno was struck with immense shock and disbelief, his eyes wide open!
Impossible, it was merely a phantom from the prophecy!
No matter how powerful the actual being was, theoretically it had nothing to do with it!
It was not a living creature, so why would it turn its head to look at him?
This was absolutely impossible!
He instinctively wanted to get up, but suddenly found that he was completely unable to move even an inch, as if frozen in place.
Karno’s impatience grew inside him.
Yet, the moment he caught sight of those phantom eyes, he was engulfed by an unparalleled calm, as though a profound peace from deep within his soul had swallowed him.
The next moment, Karno lost consciousness completely.
So that was it, that thing was the reason the Fischer family was to be doomed…
