Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 393 Part 9: Mystic Ruins



From MC’s perspective:

I broke into the building after crossing the front courtyard. Surprisingly, I didn’t encounter a worm monster. Inside the building, I see broken wooden pillars, windows, and run-down rooms.

My eyes flickered with a slight glint. The building appears to be a normal inn. But to verify, I began to investigate further.

Time passed,

After one hour, I did find something. It’s the nasty smell of the worm monster. I don’t know where it’s coming from. But I’m sure it’s not anywhere near.

But the signs were not good. I have to be careful. Suddenly, I found something strange. It’s not from the inside, rather I heard sounds from outside.

A group of wizards appeared outside of the building. They are all wizards from different small factions.

After looting and snatching passes, the like-minded wicked wizards formed a group to collect more loot.

They walked past various locations and finally ended up here.

“Yeah”

“We can use this building for our stay tonight,”

A deep voice reached my ears. Now I’m certain that other participants have come here. What should I do? My eyes gleamed with a twinkle.

I wasn’t worried about their appearance. But rather I’m very happy. From them, I can collect details of other places. Especially the location of the main site.

After gaining some clarity, I decided to stay hidden inside the building. When there is a suitable opportunity. I will strike then.

Outside,

A team of 6 wizards from different backgrounds decided to enter the building. There is no team leader in this group. Everyone acted according to their wishes.

Creak,

After entering inside, the group starts to do a preliminary check before settling down. Half an hour later, the wizards set up a tent to stay.

Meanwhile, I’m observing their movements from the corner. Thanks to the magic cloak, they can’t sense my presence.

And what I’m going to do is to observe them more and listen to their conversation.

Time passed,

The wizards chatted and expressed their worries about encountering strong wizards. They didn’t even forget to mention the news about wizards from the three academies.

During their killing, they did encounter some troubles.

While they were talking they didn’t know that someone else was inside the room listening to their conversation.

I did good by waiting patiently here. These wizards are 4th level. And it seems no one is leading the group.

All of them are wearing different clothes. It seems not all of them are from the Capital. Especially one with a cape that looks menacing.

He is constantly looking down at others. I feel he would find an opportunity to silence others. So the infighting would occur.

My mouth curves into arcs. If there is a fight, it’s a good opportunity for me. I can verify whether this place has other monsters or not.

Then I turned to others. I wonder how many wizards were killed by their hands. Looting used to be my specialty.

Some of their conversations revealed shocking news. My teammates are injured. It seems they had encountered both monsters and wicked wizards.

I sighed inwardly. But they are not as unfortunate as me. I came across a 6th order monster. If any of these fellows encountered the 6th-order monster, they wouldn’t have survived.

Unknowst to everyone, a few powerful worm monsters caught their scent and right now they are making their way toward the building.

Then pushing down these thoughts, I decided to listen further. Because this place hides monster activities. I have a vague feeling that any disturbance would attract strong monsters to come here.

And the presence of these dangerous acids is evidence of that.

Time passed,

At the time of dawn, the building starts to shake from the tremor. Which caused everyone to wake.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone walked out of their tent and left the building in a hurry. Anyone who calls tells you that signs remors are not good signs.

Meanwhile, I didn’t follow them toward the exit. Rather, I stayed inside. And my assumption turned right. The terrible smell assaulting my nostril is coming from the disgusting monster.

The increase in smell is a sign that the monster is getting near.

Then through the broken window, I’m observing the movements outside. And those guys are ready to face the threat. It seems they already realized what is going on.

A few minutes later,

The worm monster appeared above from the ground. Seeing that the wizards began to attack with spells immediately. But I doubt whether they remain unscathed in the end.

Because the monster seems to be stronger than the wizards.

“System, probe the target’s details,” I Instructed the system mind.

[Ding! Host’s command is recognized.]

[Ding! The command is executed.]

[Status Panel]

[Target’s Name: Worm Monster]

[Type: Earth elemental Monster]

[Order: 5th order early level]

[Strength: 423]

[Vitality: 424]

[Speed: 422]

[Stamina: 418]

[Skill: Sand Attack, Acid Saliva, Fast regeneration.]

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. The next moment, my mouth curves into an arc looking at the power level. 5th-order monster? These guys are going to suffer heavily.

Also one of the skills caught my attention. Self- regeneration? This is going to be a headache.

Outside,

The 5th-order monster released a barrage of attacks on them.

The wizards immediately realized the terror. They are facing a 5th-order monster, not an ordinary one.

Seeing that the wizards tried to inflict heavy damage in response. The worm monster became angrier.

Inside the building,

I’m watching the fight in silence. But at the same time, I’m also on guard. The appearance of the 5th-order monster made me think about the third-order one.

I don’t want to waste time fighting another 6th-order monster. Then I saw spell attacks land a successive hit to the monster.

Seeing that I decided to check the monster’s regeneration ability.

System, probe the target’s details,” I Instructed the system mind.

[Ding! Host’s command is recognized.]

[Ding! The command is executed.]

[Status Panel]

[Target’s Name: Worm Monster]

[Type: Earth elemental Monster]

[Order: 5th order early level]

[Strength: 423]

[Vitality: 390/424]

[Speed: 422]

[Stamina: 418]

[Skill: Sand Attack, Acid Saliva, Fast regeneration.]

I see a drop in vitality on the status panel. But the points returned to their peak in a few seconds. Seeing that, a quick glint flashed in my eyes.

So this is called regeneration. Through the window, I see the condition of the wizards. I don’t know how long they are going to withstand the attack.

Outside,

The worm monster shot acid saliva from its mouth. The attack was so fast that some of the wizards failed to evade the attack.

Argh!

Three of the six wizards took heavy damage from the acid attack. Unless treated immediately they will die on the spot.

At this time, the wizard wearing a cap made his move. Instead of attacking the worm monster. The wizard wearing a cap made a sneak attack on the injured wizards.

Pfff!

The attack was so fast that three of them failed to evade it. After killing the wizards, he immediately collected the passes from them and began to flee from this place.

His sudden withdrawal pushed the remaining two wizards to the back foot. The worm monster didn’t stop attacking.

The remaining two wizards lost their lives one by one within a few minutes.

Inside the building,

I wasn’t surprised by the infighting. Rather I’m waiting for this exact moment.

The next moment, I walked out of the building.

Meanwhile, the worm monster is targeting the last one. But the wizard wearing a cap wants to collect the last two passes before leaving.

But suddenly he notices someone walking out of the building.

“Who are you?” He uttered in disbelief. He was sure that no one was inside the building before. So what happened now? Where is he coming from?

In response, I chuckled. This guy made it easier for me. Before attacking him, I turned toward the worm monster and cast the magic spell.

I said, “Gravity Blast”

A wisp of magic released from my finger and shot at the monster at breakneck speed.

In a blink of an eye, the attack reaches the monster’s head and lands a heavy blow.

Bang! .𝙘𝙤𝙢

The spell explodes right after coming in contact with the monster’s head. The terrible gravity magic then tore through the monster’s brain.

Self-regeneration is not working for the brain. Using this opportunity, I turned toward the wizard who was wearing a cape.

The sudden move caught the wizard-wearing cape off-guard.

He realized the newcomer might be stronger. So he decided to run away.

But it was too late. The next second, he got attacked by a terrible gravitational force. Which left him half-dead on the spot.

Seeing that the guy is down. Then I released a few more spells to end the 5th-order monster’s life.

“System, probe the target’s details,” I Instructed the system mind.

[Ding! Host’s command is recognized.]

[Ding! The command is executed.]

[Status Panel]

[Target’s Name: Worm Monster]

[Type: Earth elemental Monster]

[Order: 5th order early level]

[Strength: 0/423]

[Vitality: 0/424]

[Speed: 0/422]

[Stamina: 0/418]

[Skill: Sand Attack, Acid Saliva, Fast regeneration.]

After confirming the monster’s death, I turned toward the wizard.
