From MC's perspective:
"Who are you?" He asked.
Then he realizes someone walked outside of the tunnel a few minutes ago. It must be him.
On the other hand, I didn't respond to him. Rather, I'm focusing on the spell. The next second, a powerful gravitational force appeared.
Feeling the pressure, the burly man frowned. It's making him uncomfortable like a stabbing pain. If this goes on his skin will break.
"You, trash. What are you doing?" Noticing that he exploded in anger.
Yellow color power radiating from his body.
"Rule power?" A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes.
The level-6 wizards before weren't able to mobilize their Rule power. But the level-7 wizard is using Rule Power under my domain.
"Can't make a mistake," I hurriedly poured whatever gravity mana left in my core.
The burly man was annoyed. He grabbed the Yellow Rule power in his palm before punching.
Seeing that a wave of crisis hit me. The rule power is affecting the domain spell. I'm feeling extreme pressure to hold it.
Bang~
The spell broke the next moment my body was sent flying into the tunnel.
Smash~
After getting hit from the tunnel wall. I collapsed on the ground.
"Harumph"
"What a weird spell" the burly man snorted after noticing that he was back again.
On the other hand, I felt dizzy before the system warned me with alarm bells in my mind.
I woke up from the stupor before rushing out towards the 8th-order monster. Only the monster can save me now.
The burly man saw the enemy was escaping into the tunnel. A cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Ha...Ha...Ha...."
"I thought of some kind of ominous danger. But it looks like others have fallen into a foreign wizard's trap," He said with a laugh.
He wasn't able to see through the wizard's strength. But he can tell from the spell attack earlier. Which has nothing to do with their Meteor Country.
He was aware of the investigation mission before. But I never thought a rat was hiding here. His eyes flickered with cunning glint.
The enemy was not strong. As long as he captures him, he can gain a good reward from the academy.
Then he realizes the level-8 wizard is coming to this place. So he has to hurry before others arrive.
"Trash, wait for me"
"Where are you going?" The burly man exploded with great speed before chasing the enemy from behind.
On the other hand, I'm rushing forward. At the same time, I can feel that the enemy is getting closer.
I'm using flight ability at full spell. But still, it was not enough to run away from the level-7 wizard.
One good thing though, was the burly man's body was larger. He can't freely move in the tunnel.
At the same time, the burly man found his magic power was affecting the tunnel. The wall is starting to shake. If he targets the enemy from here, then it might risk the stability of the tunnel.
But he did not panic. His normal speed was enough to catch the enemy.
A few minutes later,
When I saw the silhouette of the burly man behind me. My pupil shrinks. Then I raised my hand to cast the spell targeting the ceiling.
"Gravity Blast"
A wisp of gravity magic released from the finger hits the ceiling in the blink of an eye.
Boom~
Hard sold rocks were collapsing on the ground from the ceiling.
"Ant, you dare," the burly man shouted. He doesn't want the tunnel to collapse. So he slowed down his speed voluntarily.
But hatred can be seen in his eyes. As long as gets closer to him. The enemy will attack the tunnel.
"Hate it," the burly man gritted his teeth in anger.
Seeing the disappearing back of the enemy. He starts to chase again. He doesn't want to miss the sight of the enemy.
As long as he avoids getting closer, the enemy wizard won't attack the tunnel.
On the other hand, I sighed inwardly. The last-minute plan has worked out well. The burly man was afraid of the tunnel collapsing.
So he won't attack me blatantly. Then my heart turned cold. So I'll turn him into food for the 8th-order monster. My eyes flickered.
Soon, I saw the glowing light coming from ahead. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm coming back to the 8th-order monster again.
The burly man also notices the light.
"Ha...ha...ha..."
"I'll see where are you going to hide"
The burly man's ruthless words reached my ears. But I'm focusing on the tunnel ending. I know the 8th-order monster must be staring down at the gap.
If I go at this speed, I might end up in the monster's mouth. So I decided to use the Gregor mansion right before the opening gap.
When I was a few steps away. I turned backward and attacked the ceiling.
Boom~
The Gravity blast magic hits the ceiling again. Smoke and rubble quickly coveted the path.
By using this opportunity, I appeared in the Gregor Mansion. Then I rushed to the control room.
After arriving in the room, I looked at the mirror. I hope my plan will work.
Outside,
"Nasty," the burly man removes the rubble by simply waving his hand. When the dust settled. He looked at the wide gap where light was coming from the surface.
He grinned ear to ear.
"Rat, here I'm coming!"
The burly man flew out of the opening gap with an excited face.
But the next second, he saw a giant eyeball staring at him.
"Ahhh" He felt his soul leave his body in fear.
The 8th order Centipede Monster was satisfied by the food again. Unlike the mistake before, the monster completely blocked the space.
Even if he wants to blow the artifact. It's impossible now. The burly man had no time to think about the foreign wizards.
He wants to run away now. When he tried to move, he found the space was completely blocked. His muscular body is trembling in fear.
