From MC's perspective:
After slowly walking through the dark forest. I have realized the distance to the border is not so long. After crossing the border, I can enter No Man's land.
With the ancient map in my hands, I can then look for opportunities. Then my future development is going to be smooth.
It's that I'm not worried about breakthroughs at all. I have a system to support me. As long as I fully fulfill the conditions for a breakthrough, I will face no hurdles.
But the different faction in the academy worries me a lot. If the old monster in seclusion decides to move. I will have no place to hide.
And the situation of the Sub-Taboo is not good either. I thought after joining the Academy, I will gain huge support.
Then I can strongly face the dark league force. But the actions of the bloodline Hall put me under pressure.
I heard from Senior Gilbert that only the dean of the academy can cure the hostile factions. But unfortunately, the dean was not in the academy right now.
If he comes back then I'll have a chance to inherit the mantle of a late gravity ancestor. It's because of the dean's absence, other factions are delaying it.
Suddenly, a beautiful image comes to mind. She is none other than Lara White. She broke through before me and already entered the ranks of Core House Wizard.
I bet she must have reached the middle stage in level-5 rank. She is the real deal. And I heard several geniuses are practicing in secret.
I have yet to meet them. It's because I started by joining the outer house. Then later promoted to the inner house. If I had shown my level-5 promotion, then I would have my name registered in Core House.
But it's a pity that several forces are targeting me after knowing that I'm a level-4 wizard. If they know, I have reached level-5.
Then they will have the greater force to hunt me down. Sometimes, I regret joining the Yellow River Academy. There is only one thing stopping it from doing so is the inheritance of the gravity ancestor.
The gravity inheritance is not something that can be found outside. So I had no option but to endure the oppression for the time being. I hope the dean will do something when he comes back.
Shaking my head, I put these thoughts back off my mind before continuing to walk on the road.
Walking on the gravel path, I slowly let go of my worries and started to enjoy the journey. Though there was no mana here.
But such an isolated place gives me a serene feeling. This place is far better than the chaotic tolu capital.
When I was calmly walking along the path.
[Ding! Warning]
[High-level energy signature is found]
The sudden mechanical voice in my mind jolted me awake.
Swoosh~
The next second, I disappeared from the spot and appeared inside the Gregor mansion. Earlier, I felt calm. But the sudden heart palpitations broke my imagination.
Then I hurriedly rushed to the control room to see.
Meanwhile,
A black figure stood in mid-air and scanned the area surrounding the gravel path. The person has red pupils. When releasing some kind of magic.
But with that power, he can find any living creature on the ground. Yet even after using his magic spell. He didn't find any traces.
"Strange," He muttered to himself.
A couple of seconds ago, he saw something moving through his eye magic. He thought some noble defendants were escaping.
But it turns out to be a false alarm. He understood he was feeling pressured. Apart from him, other wizards wanted to please Elder Ford.
Talking about Elder Ford, his eyes gleamed with a twinkle. He still got chances. It's not like he is without chances.
As per the information, there are a lot of people who escaped to the dark forest. If he spends a little more time searching, he will surely find someone.
After gaining some confidence, the dark figure disappeared from the spot.
Inside the control room, a myriad of expressions appeared on my face.
"What is happening?"
"Who is the person?"
A lot of questions appeared in my heart. I saw a dark figure appearing in the sky.
Is he a protector of a certain young master? Doubt appeared in my heart. The next moment, my face turned ugly.
Because there is a strong possibility of it. A lot of people came here to escape. And there is a chance for that airship to make another round of trips.
There are still many rich people trapped in the tolu country. But all of them can't travel in the airship at the same time.
Tickers are limited and the capacity is limited as well. If they encounter a certain attack on the way, then it will be hard to protect everyone.
And I don't be surprised if the dark forest is visited by more people in the future.
After gaining some clarity, I calmed down my heart. I'm close to the border anyway. I won't be disturbed by the influx of these people.
Even if they want to travel faster, it's difficult to do it in the dark forest. Unless they have a method to bypass the dangers hiding here.
A few minutes later,
I appeared outside and started walking. The sudden appearance of an unknown wizard surprised me. But I don't think he will be back.
But not long after, I met with the danger. I saw many people flying across me. Their movement was so fast that they disappeared in a blink of an eye.
I never expected someone to investigate the ancient route. A strong dissatisfaction appeared in my heart. But it can't be helped.
I have to watch my back hereafter.
"Ho...Ho...."
"Who are you?"
A sudden voice reached my ears like a thunderclap.
My expression condensed. Then I saw someone standing under the tree not far from me.
But the black figure easily blended with the atmosphere. So I didn't find the anomaly. He was the same person who appeared back in the sky a few several minutes ago.
So he returned? My expression turned grave. I don't know whether he is alone or came with his companion.
I casually glanced around. If there is no one here except him, then I will take him down.
The dark figure was the same person. On a whim, he returned to search this area. But he never expected to see a youngster here.
He immediately thought the youngster might be a descendant of the wizard family.
Seeing the youngster glancing around, the dark figure became alert. The magic heir's descendants usually travel with their guardians.
After realizing that, the dark figure shouted, "Where is your protector?"
He even assumed the earlier disappearance of the youngster might be the work of the guardian.
Some of the wizard's families are centuries old. So it's not surprising if they had weird magic treasures.
At the same time, my mouth curved into a beautiful arc. "This guy was alone," I said in my heart.
The next second, I pointed my fingers at him and cast the magic spell.
"Gravity Blast, "I uttered.
A wisp of magic released from the tip of my finger and shot at the opponent at breakneck speed.
The dark figure said, "Youngster, you think highly of yourself. Let me cure you on behalf of your family elders."
"Harumph,"
He snorted before facing the incoming spell. He was not afraid of low-level spells. It won't even damage his clothes.
When he was expecting to see the joke. The magic attic reaches him. The next second, his senses alarmed him with danger.
His expression changes drastically. "How could it be possible..?" Even before he could finish his words.
The gravity spell blasts away his body.
Boom~
A terrific sound reverberated in the dark forest.
After smashing into the trees, the dark figure's body came to a halt. The impact was so great that he felt his mind go blank for a moment.
Argh~
He regains his trace of clarity. But he felt heart-wrenching pain the next moment. When the dust went away, he saw his body condition.
His face filled with horror. His body was torn apart and his inner organs were smashed. Which made his power reduced by half. He can't even stand.
But what made him scared was the power of the spell. The unknown youngster can injure level-6 wizards like him easily.
What is the identity of the person?
The dark figure shuddered.
At the same time, I approached the person. Now I can tell that he is a male wizard. But I don't know the reason for his disguise.
When I got closer to him. I saw him trying to do something. My eyes grew cold.
"Gravity Field," I uttered.
A power-coercive gravitational field appeared around me.
Pfff~
The sudden appearance of pressure caught him off guard. The gravity pressure made him injured further. Coughing up blood, he tries to get up.
But under my improvised gravity magic, he can't resist.
Pfff~
Blood splattered on the ground. The unknown wizard finally collapses on the ground under pressure.
