From MC's Perspective:
Aten City,
An old man in his sixties appeared before me. He entered the room with a puzzling gaze and looked around.
Unlike the lackeys, he didn't cover his identity by wearing black robes. He didn't even cover his face.
I can already see his eyes filled with malicious intent.
Instead of asking, I kept silent. From the system information, it is clear that this guy's wizardry path is toward body defense.
His awakened magic was related to the earth element. On top of it, all his attributes were close to the limit. In other words, he is a peak level-6 wizard.
My physique is weaker compared to his due to the difference in level. So I can't let him lay hands on me.
"Who are you?"
"I couldn't see through your strength?"
Ben asked. Even in his old age, he can clearly distinguish between a tiger and a sheep. The person in front of him seems young.
But he can maintain his calmness despite seeing his flight ability earlier. Who is he? Wizard Ben suddenly became cautious.
There was no sign of his subordinates here. What happened to them? A trace of murderous glint flashes in his eyes.
The person in front of him looks suspicious. As long as he could verify the background, he will kill him the next moment.
When I heard his question. I smiled slightly. This guy was curious. Thanks to my back cloak. I can talk to him.
I already thought of a good plan in mind.
"Who am I?" I muttered.
"I should be the one asking you. What an unknown level-6 wizard is doing here?" I replied, looking into his eyes.
Wizard Ben's expression becomes dignified. If the person looks young then how come he has seen through his level?
The person must be stronger than him. That's the only way. Wizard Ben was alarmed in his heart. He doesn't know why such a strong wizard appeared here.
The person is wearing a black mask. So he couldn't confirm the identity either.
Then suddenly I thought of something. Either this person has been sent by the Weden City Government or he is the rumored guardian of the target.
Either way, the situation is not good for the dark league. He decided to attack at an appropriate moment.
Meanwhile,
I laughed in my heart. The person is not replying at all. I doubt he would remain still. If I removed my black mask.
"Ahem, have you seen anyone coming here?" Wizard Ben asked.
Hearing that, I furrowed my eyebrows. Why do I feel like he is going to attack me? Did he catch something?
Swish!
The next moment, I used the flight ability to rush out through the window.
"Sh!t," Wizard Ben cursed out loud. Before he could attack, the enemy ran out.
When the wizard named Ben exited through the window.
"Gravity Blast," I cast the spell instantly. A wisp of magic released from my finger and shot at the opponent.
Wizard Ben was caught off guard. Even with level-6 strength, he wasn't able to dodge the close-quarter spell attack.
The spell attacks land a blow to his chest region.
Boom~
The gravity blast explodes after coming in contact with the target. The gravity magic easily tore through the defense and caused massive damage to the body.
Argh~
Wizard Ben let out a muffled groan. The attack was so sudden that he failed to cast the defense spell in reply.
Wizard Ben smashed to the ground below.
Pfff~
He coughed up blood while trying to get up. His white clothes were damaged. A huge red blood scar can be seen on his chest region. His entire appearance looked miserable.
Meanwhile,
I saw my level-5 gravity spell was not that powerful to break his body. But I'm interested in seeing his damage.
"System, probe the target's details," I said to the system.

The status panel appeared before my eyes. My eyes immediately scanned the details. Seeing that his strength was almost reduced by half.
A hint of relief flashes in my eyes.
Wizard Ben was shocked to the core. He can see the state of his condition. To make him reduce to such a state. The opponent's magic must have been stronger than his.
Wizard Ben mistook the person for a level-7 wizard. And the person's young appearance almost confirms his suspicions.
Higher the level of the wizard. They gain longer life spans. The person in front of him might be such a case.
Wizard Ben realizes his absolute blunder. He shouldn't have shown hostile intentions earlier. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten to this state. Now he is referring deeply.
Wizard Ben bends his knees all of a sudden and bows.
"Your Excellency. It's my fault for not recognizing you. Please forgive me," Wizard Ben said.
"Ha...Ha...Ha...," I let out laughter in joy.
eαglesnovel`c,om Damn! After a long time. I feel my heart at ease. These scumbags are not scary as I had thought.
I know after reaching level-5 the situation would be different. Now I can easily fool anyone. Thanks to upgrading gravitational force this guy had mistaken me for an Elder Level Wizard.
Level-7 wizard? What is the concept? Unlike the lower levels, one must understand the mystery of their awakened magic to break through to higher levels.
After level-6 the magic path would be difficult. You can't just have a breakthrough by sitting and meditating. I have to meet certain conditions to advance. Like mastering intermediate gravity magic.
After pushing down these thoughts, I looked down at the wicked wizard. If I was weak, the situation would have been different. My eyes grew cold.
"Now, tell me. Who are you?"
"What are you doing here?"
I asked back-to-back questions.
Wizard Ben was flustered.
Pfff~
The next moment, he coughed up blood again. His whole body looked completely tense. He doesn't want to reveal his identity.
But from the looks of a person. He can tell that he won't simply leave it like that. What to do?
Another wizard is waiting for the target in the core area. And he had offended someone big.
He bit his lips and finally decided to answer.
"I'm an outsider. I came here to do something." He replied. It wasn't a lie. But he doesn't know whether it can satisfy a person's curiosity.
Meanwhile, I raised my eyebrows. This guy is putting up an act till the end.
"I know you are from the dark league," I said in a cold tone.
Wizard Ben felt a thunderbolt ring in his ears. How could this be possible? No one knows about their operation.
"Wait a second?"
"Are you the target's guardian?"
Wizard Ben realized something. Recalling the person who appeared in the tower. And there was no sign of his men. It almost makes sense now.
The organization should have known about this. They had underestimated the target again. Last time, the organization had sent a level-6 wizard to do the job.
But he was captured instead. And this time the organization has dispatched two level-6 wizards to complete the mission.
But the appearance of a level-7 wizard destroyed everything.
"He...He...He.Wizard Ben let out a bitter laugh. Now there is no chance of his survival. Before going out, he wants to fight the level-7 Wizard.
"Earth Shell,"
Wizard Ben cast the spell. The surface of his body was quickly covered with densely packed armor. His clothes were gone completely.
His appearance looked like a humanoid made out of solid rock.
Meanwhile,
I sighed inwardly. I wanted to collect information. But this guy had mistaken me for a guardian. Now he intends to fight me again.
But his next words set off storms in my heart.
"He...He....He..."
"The target is going to die sooner or later."
"You may be guarding him now. But you won't be able to save him from your colleagues."
"He...He...He..."
Wizard Ben said with hysterical laughter. He knows he is going to die. Before that, he wants to unsettle the person.
"Colleague?" I mumbled under my breath. Don't tell me he is talking about the hostile factions inside the Academy.
"Earth Fist,"
The humanoid raised his fist toward me.
Seeing that, I raised my hand.
"Gravity Push," I cast the magic spell.
The next second, a wisp of magic shot at the target. When the gravity magic collides with the fist.
Boom~
The gravitational force broke out. The next moment, the powerful force tore through the right arm and pushed the humanoid down to the ground.
Tud~
Dust rose from the ground. The collision force swept away the surroundings.
