The Bloodline Hall:
Tony Burnett is looking at the outside view through the window. Earlier, he released the news of Vincent's mission through an unknown channel.
Many intelligence organizations are working in the Capital. They are backed by renowned wizard families. And some of them are backed by merchant unions and other private parties.
Even the government has its channel. The one he contacted was close to the Weapon Palace. The organization is called Triple Dagger.
It is an assassin organization working in the Capital. Nobody knows the full extent of their capability. The purpose of releasing the news was to hire a black wizard for assassination.
Many of the assassins are evil weapon wizards. They are renowned for silent assassination. Word is that the Weapon Palace is behind them.
When he revealed his intention. They had gladly accepted the mission. And it has been a day since the task was released. But so far he received no update from them.
"Triple Dagger," He muttered.
And he knows it's not about the reward. He made it clear the reward will be a high-grade magic artifact. If this artifact were to be placed in the auction, It can be sold for millions.
The Triple Dagger:
The worker responsible for handling the urgent assassination mission fell into a dilemma. Presumably, the client wants to send a highly experienced assassin for this mission.
And the time limit for the mission is 10 days. The target is staying in a different location. So right now no one is present in the organization except the old man.
Only the old man is suitable for the mission. He is a level-6 wizard. The worker doesn't know about his magic which is confidential. In desperation, the worker decided to try out his luck.
He walked towards a private room.
Creak~
"Master, there is an urgent mission for you. The reward will be a high-grade magic artifact," The worker said to the old man who was making poison sitting on the ground.
The old man looked creepier. His face is covered with disgusting pimples. They are side effects of complex poisons.
When the words reached his ears. He felt distracted for a moment. The worker didn't even ask for permission before entering. He wanted to poison the worker out of anger. But the high-grade magic artifact eased his mood.
"What is the mission?" The old man asked without looking back. In front of him, there are bottles with different poisonous liquids.
The worker replied, "The task is to assassinate an inner house wizard of the Yellow River Academy."
"Level-4 wizard?" The old sneered. He thought the mission was to assassinate some big shot like the governor.
But trifling level 4? Is there no one else there?
The worker revealed a bitter smile on his face.
"Master, the identity of the wizard is special. He is a user of gravity magic," The worker answered.
The old man stopped his movements and asked, "What is his name?" He revealed no emotion. But his eyes longed for test subjects.
And he had a weird hobby of collecting the corpses of special magic users.
"Vincent Carey," The worker said.
"Alright, I'm going. Tell no one," When he said that, his face revealed a sly smile.
"High-Grade Artifact and special corpse"
"He...He...He...., "The old man said with a small laugh.
....
From MC's Perspective:
I pondered for a few minutes before making my next decision. I did not expect the killers to go back. Is this a trick or what?
Shaking my head, I started to move. While moving, I witnessed the influence of passive ability around me.
Whenever I land my feet on the ground. I feel a small tremor. Then ignoring it, I increased my pace.
Time passed by,
I crossed several miles a few hours later. The power of a level-4 wizard is something. If it were home, it would have taken me less time to visit Venen City's wilderness.
The night time came,
Instead of camping here, I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion to sleep.
The following day,
I woke up on time for meditation. Because I'm going to attempt a breakthrough in this sitting. So after completing my morning routine. I sat down for meditation in the middle of mana stones.
For breakthroughs, I need pure mana. These mana stones will help me with that.
I closed my eyes and started running the gravity ark method. The gray mana particles entered my body without hindrance.
Seeing that I decided to break the limit. I guide energy according to a mental method. After the circulation, I felt a barrier.
Only after breaking the barrier, the changes will take place in mana core space and body. I didn't stop the momentum. I began to attack the invisible barrier.
Break~
After a few minutes, the barrier was broken into pieces. I feel a huge sense of relief. Like some shackles were lifted from the body.
Immediately, I felt a rush of energy in my body. When I observe inside, I see the mana core space expanding in size.
Next time, more mana will be needed for the breakthrough
The core stopped expanding in size after some time. But the pebble-size core has grown in size. It has grown in a small rock. But I believe the mana capacity will be the same because of my talent.
Level-5 core uh? I can feel a great amount of gravity power from the core. The sacred golden patterns on the wall again became difficult to see because of expansion.
A faint golden aura can be seen surrounding the core. Then I continued to meditate.
Three hours later,
I opened my eyes after completing the meditation.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

A wide status panel appeared in my eyes. My eyes immediately scanned the details. All of my attributes were upgraded to level-5.
The sacred physique also increased to 80%.
[Ding! The system requires permission to use excessive energy.]
[Ding! Grant YES/NO]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind.
Hearing that I allowed the excessive energy to be used.
The next moment, I felt a surge of energy inside my body.
A few minutes later,
Like last time, the energy was completely absorbed by the mana core space.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

The status panel popped up. I see a change in core progression. It has risen to 10%. Seeing that my eyes flickered with a slight glint.
Now that everything was done. It is time to continue the journey. I'm looking forward to fighting against the level-6 wizard.
I got up and went to take a bath. This time a lot of black impurities covered my skin.
"Hmmm," Suddenly, I felt something. Before confirming my doubts, I decided to try outside after taking a bath.
A few minutes later,
I changed into fresh clothes and wore a black mask.
Swish!
The next moment, I appeared back outside and landed on the ground. But I revealed a bright smile on my face after realizing my new ability.
