(From MC's perspective)
Wilderness - Venen City,
Time passed,
I reached the hill areas a few hours later. But my heart was not in a calm state at all. My mind is occupied with the image of the former headmaster.
After finding a suitable spot, I decided to stop and take some rest. Sitting on bedrock, I began to ponder.
I had previously assumed, it might be the work of someone else. But in the end, it turns out to be the former headmaster Collin. Does he want Lucas' head as well?
My eyes gleamed with a quick glint. I don't know whether he is stupid or not. If anything happens to us, Collin will be chased by two giant organisations.
Yet he is ready to take such a risk. Which shows how dangerous a threat he is actually. Before thinking about Frank Lambert. I must take care of this immediate threat.
Only after killing the former headmaster Collin, I can freely walk around the world. Then suddenly a quick realization struck me. Collin is a level-4 wizard.
A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. I can kill a level-3 wizard with my power. But at level 4 something is different. I don't know whether my gravity magic can work against the level-4 wizard.
Which is something that needs to be tested. I sighed inwardly, these days I'm facing one enemy after another. Especially, in this vast wilderness, the life of a hunter is extremely difficult.
So it was no surprise to me. If someone had chosen to work as a dog for level-4 or level-5 wizards. After contemplating for a few moments, a good idea comes to mind.
I can solve the former headmaster without having to move my finger. At this time, a particular person's image comes to mind.
"John Meyers," I grumbled.
Last time, I told him about the assassination attempt on me. I have a vague feeling that he had solved that problem for me.
So I can trust him with this issue also.
A quick glint flashed into my eyes. But there is one tricky situation that lies in these issues. I don't want anyone to know about my current strength. Especially, my habit of training in this wilderness.
If it is known to the world, it will raise some suspicious eyebrows. What to do? Then I began to hatch a good plan in mind.
I believe, the former headmaster will send more powerful wizards to kill me in future. So I need to act before him.
Right now, I'm in dark he is on the bright side. He knows my whereabouts and especially my home address. My eyes became complicated thinking about home.
I don't think unless he has a death wish, he won't directly attack my home. After pondering, I came to a good conclusion.
I should reveal the information to Lucas. And let him tell this news to his organisation. If both our organisations began to act, then the former headmaster will have difficulty surviving.
I sighed inwardly. I will not tell anyone about the killing of these people. But I will make sure to expose Collin's hand behind all of this.
My heart began to calm down after gaining some clarity. Then retracting my thoughts, I began to replenish my mana consumption after consuming a few potions.
After twenty minutes, I began to move again. Right now, I'm using the same old route which I had used last time. As I'm getting closer to the entrance to the vast plains, my mind couldn't help but think about the Gregor site.
"What happened to that location?" A curiosity rose in my heart. Especially, thinking about the existence of the relics on that site. I got a strong urge to visit that place.
Though I got a system and my future wizardry path will be smooth because of this. But still having rare relics can reduce my burden. And it was proven to be true.
While I'm moving at full speed, I heard a rustling sound from ahead.
WHOOSH
A giant snake came into my view. The snake is lying in the middle of the narrow path. Seeing that, a wide smile spread on my face.
"System, probe the target's details," I Instructed the system mind.
[Ding! Host's command is recognised.]
[Ding! The command is executed.]
[Status Panel]
[Target's Name: Ground Snake]
[Order: 2nd order intermediate level]
[Strength: 150]
[Vitality: 143]
[Speed: 144]
[Stamina: 146]
[Skill: Venom bite]
I nodded after looking at the statistics. I can't forget the name of the snake. Previously, I had fought with similar snake species. Fortunately, at that time the ground snake was well-fed. It didn't have interest in chasing me down.
But everything has changed in the past few weeks. I'm not the same anymore. Looking at the restless snake once again, I couldn't help but take look at statistics again.
The statistics of the monsters were simple. It's not complicated as wizards. Statistics of wizards related to different factors. Talent and Magic power is the main one. And the breakthrough conditions were different for different wizards.
But the monster has a simple and direct way of progression. They need evolution. For that their blood needs to be pure. Much purer the blood, the stronger the monster will be.
Then I saw the snake begin to move. Seeing that, I dispelled the panel and walked towards the snake.
"Gravity Field," I said.
I released the wisp of gravity power for a moment.
The ground snake got alarmed. Before it could move away from the spot.
Puff
A terrific pressure appeared out of nowhere and descended on the ground snake. The next second, the ground snake turned into a blood mist.
Then my gaze fell on the ground. Which has suffered huge cracks. Like some terrible monster had stomped the ground with its huge feet.
This small area has sunken below forming a deep pit.
The process was over in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that, I sighed inwardly. I want to collect the crystal gem. But before that, it's paramount for me to get good control ability.
As long as I can control the timing and wisp of gravity magic, I can manage the gravitational pressure.
The next second, I crossed the deep pit to continue my journey.
Several hours later,
I touched the real land of the vast plains. Hereafter, there will be many more second and third-order monsters. But somewhere in my heart, I want to try my power against the fourth-order monster.
But the next second, I retrieved my thoughts. My current magic power has given me a sense of invisible belief. Which is not good for me. All I have to do is to move one step at a time.
Then my future will be much more stable. Because our current world has a lot of wonders. Many weird and taboo magic exists, so I should not be overconfident.
Then retracting my thoughts, I glanced around the surroundings. Last time, I encountered a few wizards from the sword guild. I don't know whether I will encounter anyone here.
Then shaking my head, I dashed towards the destination. And my destination is the Gregor site. I want to see what that place is.
Just after ten minutes, I encountered a few second-order monsters. After killing them, I stride towards the location. I had already memorised the route from the map.
So I don't have difficulty finding that place.
Time passed,
A few hours later, I spotted a distinctive area. This small area is filled with lush green vegetation. It's like a sanctuary located in the middle of the plains.
After seeing that, I didn't move forward. Rather, I used the map to verify the location. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. This place is the ruin of an ancient wizard.
This place is like an oasis in the middle of a desert. Looking at the lush green atmosphere, I realised it might be related to the ruin.
Realizing that, I immediately wanted to dash towards it. But a trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. I may not be the only one here. So I need to be careful.
Then I rushed toward the spot after gaining some clarity. I arrived at the entrance after a few minutes. My heart rate began to beat faster. I heard some conversation on the way.
The next second, I slowly began to move forward to the centre. As I move forward, the sound of conversation is also getting higher.
When I reached closer, I saw a group of wizards.
Two adventurer groups were standing opposite each other. There are more than ten wizards in each group.
I thought it might be an illusion. But it's true, there is a huge quarrel going on between two different adventurer groups.
I gulped my saliva in fear. Fortunately, there is no level-4 wizard. Otherwise, he would have sensed it from a long distance.
After realizing the fact, I sighed in relief. When it comes to these wizards on the ground, the numbers are terrific. But I can easily slaughter them If I release the full gravitation pressure on them.
Various thoughts came to mind.
I saw one of the two groups have sword badges on them. "Sword Guild," I grumbled.
