Chapter 202 Part 2: Killing The Trash Wizards
(From MC’s perspective)
When Garry and Peter lost their breath, then I focussed my attention on Bob. Before ending him, I hope to get some crucial information from his mouth.
“Do you want to live?” I asked.
Bob Stokes raised his head in confusion. He was never expecting a survival option in this situation. But still, he wants to grab any opportunity to save his life. So he looked at Kevin(Vincent) and asked back, “What do you want?”
Bob knows it’s not easy to escape alive from here. From Kevin’s actions, he came to realise that the other person wants something. So only after fulfilling his request, he may end up saving his own life.
On the other hand, my eyebrows eased a little bit knowing that Bob is ready to cooperate.
“Okay, I’ll ask a few questions. If you give me a satisfying answer, you can leave from here,” I said.
“If not, you will end up worsen than your friends,” I added further.
Hearing that, a cold shiver went down Bob’s spine. He doesn’t have that usual arrogance anymore. After seeing Kevin’s unusual magic, he gave up himself on using any means of retaliation.
Right now, he has only thought in his mind to somehow save his own life. He doesn’t want the same ending as Garry and Peter.
Then Bob nodded his head in understanding. He is going to spill the beans without hiding anything in his heart. At the same time, he is also curious about Kevin’s actions. What is the need for such calculation against them?
Bob recalled they were the ones who approached Kevin back at the adventurer union not him the other hand.
Which means they are responsible for their suffering. Greed blinded their heart and eyes and made them offend someone who shouldn’t be supposed to be touched.
Bob suddenly felt bad in his heart. It’s too late to regret anything. He can only hope that another person (Kevin) to let him live.
Seeing Bob’s defeated expression, I understand that he won’t put up any struggle anymore. But still, I’m not going to dispel the field.
I asked, “What did you do at the dividing edge?”
“What is your mission?”
Though I know they were doing Intel gathering. But I want to hear their mission description and their superior’s orders. Only in this way, I can get clear information.
Hearing that, a hint of apprehension appeared in Bob’s eyes. He quickly became hesitant about it. Divulging information about the guild is not a good thing.
If not for his current situation, he won’t even think about it.
The atmosphere quieted down for a moment.
I can see the trace of struggle on Bob’s face. To completely let down his guard, I made a threat again, “Do you want to die?”
“I don’t have all day to wait for your answer.”
“If not you, I can get the answers from others. So think about it and tell me the details,” I added in a stern tone.
My final warning seemed to be working. Bob appeared to be determined.
“High-level hunters from our guild were up to something. Before they arrive at the wilderness, our manager ordered us to collect some information,” Bob said.
A quick glint flashes into my eyes as I caught some hint from his words. Powerful wizards from their guild haven’t come yet. Are they making sure that the absence of other guilds?
Various questions appeared in my mind.
I looked at him and asked again, “What the strong wizards from your guild are going to do?”
I’m not hoping to get an actual answer from him. But I want to see whether he has overheard any conversation with his superiors.
Bob Stokes remained silent for a moment. Because he has expecting this question when Kevin inquired about the first question. Both of them were related. Right now he has a vague feeling in his heart that Kevin(Vincent) might come from another strong guild.
If it’s true then the superior have guessed right. Whatever plan they had earlier, it might have leaked already. Otherwise, Kevin wouldn’t have asked anything related to their guild’s matter.
Then suddenly Bob shuddered after seeing Kevin’s intense gaze. He has to say something right now. He wrapped his brain to recall the events that had occurred in the past.
He doesn’t know about the higher official’s mission. He doesn’t even have authority or access to such information. He sighed inwardly.
Though he doesn’t remember anything regarding the higher official mission. He still has some information about some high-rank wizards. Some of them were rumours and others were overheard by him.
“Kevin, I don’t know about the mission?” Bob replied in a trembling voice.
I wrinkled my eyebrows hearing that. I thought he taking time to remember something. Finally, I realised this interrogation is going nowhere. So it’s better to kill him and reduce my mana consumption.
The next second, I take out the black dagger from my storage bracelet.
Bob began panicking. This was the last thing he want to witness. So quickly shouted, “Wait, I don’t know about the mission. I’m just a low-level wizard.”
Hearing that, I didn’t stop my movement. I gripped the black dagger tightly and decided to slit the throat of the enemy.
“Wait, I know something about wide plains,” Bon uttered in helplessness.
I stopped my movements abruptly when I decided to kill him. Because his words piqued my curiosity. The one thing that I need right now is the information about the mission.
Apart from that, I also want to learn more about the wide plains.
So I stepped back a little bit and asked, “Tell me, what you know? I’m losing my patience here.”
Bob Stokes breathed in relief. But still, the gravitational field is taking a toll on him. The pressure is tiring him out greatly.
Right now, he is withstanding the pressure by countering against the field by using his brute strength.
Like other wizards, the power wizards also have their core. The core is different from other elemental cores that exist in this world. The strength type core provides a boost to the physique wizards from the initial stage itself.
That’s why their damage output is greater than similar rank wizards. But this powered ability has its drawback. It consumes the mana reserve greatly in a short period.
Bob also worried that he will be crushed onto the ground in a few minutes. Because his mana reserve is dropping gradually. He is not sure about Kevin’s mana reserve.
But looking at his calm and composed face. He feels that his mana consumption will hit rock bottom before Kevin.
Having no other choice, Bob answered, “Actually, this information was heard from my seniors.”
“Like the dividing edge, there is also a special place exists between the hill regions and wide plains,” he added. 𝚍n𝚘v𝚕.𝚝
Hearing that I nodded. Now things were getting interesting. Finally, he has some credible information which I would like to know more about.
Seeing that Kevin is interested in this information. Bob quickly began to divulge the information. A wide smile blossomed on my face a few minutes later.
“There is a place where the monsters are afraid to trespass,” I mumbled under my breath.
THUD
Bob completely collapses to the ground as he ran out of mana. He appeared to be lost consciousness. Seeing that, I moved my black dagger to slice his throat.
A few seconds later, a red line can be seen on Bob’s neck. After that, I stored the black dagger in my storage bracelet and waited for the enemy to breathe his last breath.
I checked his vitality via the status panel. When the vitality reached zero, Bob’s life came to an end. Then I dispelled the gravity field and proceed to dispose of the three corpses.
It will take some time but I’m glad to do that.
After an hour, I sat on a mountain rock. I accessed the wilderness map on my communication watch. I want to look at that special place on the map.
Soon the whole wilderness map appeared above the display screen. I used my fingers to zoom in on my current location. I want to check how long it will take for me to reach the wide plains.
Then I began to analyze my location. After walking down this route, I will reach the entrance to wide plains. After this hill region, there is nothing but open and wide barren lands.
The vegetation was not dense compared to the current location. On the map, I can hardly see any green colour marked on it. This map alone shows how dangerous that place is.
On the wide plains, it’s normal to come across second-order monsters. When it comes to first-order monsters they are many. The third-order monsters are like bosses of these plains.
But it’s hard to encounter third-order monsters normally. And when it comes to the overlord of the plains, it’s natural for 4th order monster to present here. But I don’t know where the 4th order exists or not.
Anyway, those existence are still high above me. Right now, my wizard level is very low. I can only stick around the premise of the wilderness.
