Gilbert Reese disappeared from the spot after leaving the bloodline wizard Ko alone. He didn't want to kill this person. Because he knows the bloodline Hall is behind this person. It's not wise to kill the wizard of the same academy at this time.
Seeing the empty spot, the bloodline wizard Ko revealed a bitter smile on his face. Earlier he thought he made a perfect scheme. In the end he was calculated by the enemy.
After sighing, he knows it is not easy to explain to the higher ups. Failure is a failure in the end. Because, the bloodline Hall's target is not Gilbert Reese but the gravity brat.
Seeing that the gravity brat was not with Gilbert Reese. He got a good excuse for the failure. Then he texted the message to the green haired wizard.
A few wizards who came here to assist died in the end. Gilbert warned him before leaving so decided to report it as an accident.
When it comes to Vincent Carey. He knows as long as the gravity brat stays in the academy. He has plenty of opportunities to come up with a good plan.
But it's a pity their ancestor snake blood had fallen into the hands of Gilbert. He knows sooner or later the thing will be handed to the gravity brat.
But apart from the bloodline wizard no one can directly consume the raw blood drop. Because it would be fatal. Thinking about it, his eyes gleamed with twinkle.
He still has time to reverse some things. As long as he reports back to higher ups. They will surely come up with a plan to get that snake blood back.
After figuring it out the hope rekindled in his heart. He immediately used flight ability to rush back to the academy.
Meanwhile,
The dark league members black and bucky were currently after the Weapon Palace Wizards. Because the Weapon Palace has bought the Grade-8 healing product from the auction.
So their senior is confronting them right now. He is fiercely fighting against the Weapon Palace's ax wizard.
On the ground, the broken bodies of guards can be seen. Before fighting the ax wizard, the person wearing a metal mask took care of the guards assisting the ax wizard.
"Hey black, what's the level of the ax wizard?" Bucky asked with concern. Because their job is not to assist but to safely escort the treasure item.
Hiding beside him, Black's eyes flickered with twinkle. The ax wizard is a level-6 powerhouse similar to their seniors. But Black wasn't able to guess the magic power of the senior.
It's completely hidden. Suddenly changes take place in the duel. The burly ax wizard who was fine battling seconds ago was coughing up loads of blood all of a sudden.
Bucky's expression becomes pale with fright. Two of them totally underestimated their seniors. At first they thought that a wizard might pose some threat.
But right now he was reduced to half dead.
At the same time, the dark league member said to the ax wizard,"Hand over the Grade-8 healing product."
A wizard who was half kneeling on the ground couldn't stop coughing. He asked,"What have you done to me?"
The person wearing a metal mask sneered. He said,"Don't waste my time. You have been inflicted with potent poison. If not treated, your mana core will explode."
Hearing that ax wizard's expression darkened. He knew something was wrong with his body during the fighting. But he can't hand over the Grade-8 product. It's important to their academy.
Before leaving the auction building, he had already informed the elders. He knew there might be killing and looting on the way. But he hadn't expected to encounter the trouble so soon.
On top of it, the wizard is wearing a metal mask. He wasn't able to identify either.
The dark league member knows delaying is not good. He again released the spell.
Pfff!
This time the ax wizard coughed up blood heavily. His vitality is also dropping rapidly. Facing such hurdles, the ax wizard didn't plan to compromise.
He wants to hold on until the elder arrives. But it seems impossible. His vitality is quickly disappearing at a rapid rate. After a few seconds, he lost his complete breath and dropped dead on the ground.
From the beginning to end, he didn't know what happened. Except being poisoned by an unknown enemy.
Then the person wearing a metal mask quickly collected the loot, including the storage bracelet. Then he handed everything over to black and bucky.
"You guys quickly take these things back to the hideout. And don't come out of the place until I'll call you back," He said with a stern expression.
Black and Bucky nodded their heads. After receiving the item, they quickly rushed back to their hideout.
At the same time, the person wearing a metal mask turned the ax wizard's corpse into ashes. Then he chose the left direction to leave.
Right after he left, a few silhouettes appeared at the ashes. They were all elders sent by the Weapon Palace.
One of the elders crouches down to inspect the ashes. They lost the connection with Ax wizard exactly from this spot. Everyone had dreadful expressions on their faces.
When they lost the connection, they knew something had gone wrong.
"We are a bit late," The elder who inspected the ashes said in a solemn tone.
Hearing the words everyone lost their composure.
"Who is bold enough to kill our Weapon Palace' people?" A sword wielding elder asked out in anger.
"Let's spread out and find the trails. We might be able to catch the culprit," One of the elders made a comment.
They knew it's not the time to talk. More than the demise of a wizard. Everyone is concerned about the Grade-8 healing product. They can't return empty handed.
All of them spread out in four directions. They don't want to lose the culprit.
...
From MC's Perspective:
I discovered a cave-like shelter to hide. I don't know when he will come back. Until then I made up my mind to rest here.
My communication watch is filled with notifications. Most of them are from my Senior Sister. But it's a pity I can't reply to her. Senior Gilbert gave me a clear instruction before leaving.
He doesn't seek to be a person who likes to joke around. So I waited here.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
30 minutes later,
A silhouette appeared in front of me. He is none other than Senior Gilbert.
"Senior!" I stood up from the ground to meet him.
Gilbert Reese smiled and said,"Fortunately our plan met with success."
When he said those words, a wave of ecstasy rose in my heart. Finally I can breakthrough.
Senior Gilbert then takes out a metal box from his storage bracelet. Seeing that I immediately recognised the box.
When he opened inside, a red colored liquid bottle came into view. The red color is exactly the blood of the snake monster.
Looking at the red bottle, Gilbert said with envy,"You are really lucky."
"The bloodline treasure is one of the most desirable treasures in the world. In particular the ancient bloodlines. A single drop of ancient bloodline might contain ancient memories or inheritance."
"If you are lucky, you may come across some inheritance," Senior Gilbert added further.
Hearing that sudden heart appeared in my heart. It feels like a pie falling down from the sky.
Gilbert watched the expression of Vincent. Then he asked,"What do you want to do now?"
"I advise you to consume the blood right here," Gilbert said.
Hearing his words, I nodded my head in agreement. Then I received the red bottle from his hand.
"I'm going to cover this shelter with magic formation. Take this opportunity to consume the blood," After saying that Gilbert began to lay out the magic formations around the shelter.
Seeing that I hurriedly return back to the seated position. I sat cross-legged and opened the red bottle. Then I drank the blood drop in one get go.
I kept my mind blank. But when the blood drop entered my body. My body temperature rose up all of a sudden. Thanks to earlier cleansing, the blood didn't directly damage the body.
But it slowly starts to mix with the inner organs. In particular, the ancient snake blood energy entered my bloodstream.
Boom!
I feel like a sudden explosion rang in my body.
Pfff!
I coughed up blood unknowingly. I don't know what's happening inside my body. My mind is in a state of chaos. Suddenly the ancient power in the mutated blood activates when it comes in contact with the gravity mana in my body.
Outside,
After arranging the formations, Gilbert Reese waited outside. He didn't plan to peek inside to see what's happening with Vincent Carey.
Because he already gave black eye fruit to Vincent. Which was sufficient enough to save Vincent's life from the violent nature of the bloodline.
Now everything is up to Vincent. As long as he digests the blood drop successfully, his strength will increase beyond the limits.
