(From MC's perspective)
The Gregor site - Wilderness,
Looking at the solemn atmosphere. I believe it's a matter of time before the two groups will fight against each other.
Besides, I don't know anything about the ruin. If one of the groups can enter the ruin successfully, I will secretly follow them.
I calmed down my heart after gaining some clarity. Then without looking at the two groups, I used the probe function of the system to look into the details.
My eyes gleamed with twinkle after a few minutes. These people are really strong. If not for my current strength, I wouldn't have thought about fighting against them.
All of them are elites, there are no trash wizards among them. Each one of them had good magic power. Especially the burly man from the sword guild team.
This guy is a level-2, earth elemental wizard. His two magic spells are exceptionally good. He can easily find what is stored beneath the ground. This sword guild possibly wanted him to find the ruin.
I have to say that this time the sword guild came with full preparation. But what was unexpected was the appearance of the opposite team.
There is no badge for them. But anyone can see the news has somehow leaked at the last moment. So in desperation, this opposite adventurer group came at the last moment.
Then suddenly my chest tightens a little. I have a foreboding that the confrontation will spread around this entire area. Then it will be difficult to cover my whereabouts.
After taking a glance at the adventurer groups, I retreated. A hint of expectation rose in my heart. I have a vague in my heart that there is a huge chance was exist in this ruin.
If I can get the chance, I may break into a level-2 wizard. But before that, I need to be patient. The next second, I began to look for a suitable spot to hide.
When their confrontation will be over, I will safely follow them.
Just as I took a step forward to move from this place.
BOOM
A terrible sound resonated throughout the entire area. "Too late," I grumbled. Without having any choice, I crouched under a nearby tree.
BANG
One after another deafening sounds reverberated through the area. Hearing such a fierce clash, I decided to wait for a while. Next, I spread around my sense to safeguard from the other wizards.
On the other hand, the two adventure groups started to fight against each other even more fiercely. The sword guild's wizards came prepared. They expected someone to interfere at the last moment.
Before coming here, the head of the sword guild had informed them about their dangers. Because of strict rules, the sword guild management can't send higher-level wizards.
There are a lot of prying eyes around the city. If the leader of the sword guild walks out of the building, he will be immediately noticed by many people.
The movement of the level-4 wizard and above is closely monitored by many spies including the government.
So to cover the secret, the sword guild has no other choice but to send a team of a level-2 wizard with a level-3 wizard as their leader.
But still, the eyes of sword guild members flicker with a cold glint. Even after their guild's cover-up, the hostile groups still managed to come here.
The next second, the fierce clash immediately destroyed the landscape around them. All the lush green vegetation on the grounds was wiped out.
Different types of spells are clashing against each other.
Especially the fight between the two leaders causing even more damage to the surrounding. So much so that the entire land began to shake.
The leader of the sword guild team was furious. On one hand, he has to take care of the enemy. And at the same time, he has to be mindful of the surrounding.
The team only knows the speculated area of the ruin. So he doesn't want his clash to cause any damage to this land. If the ruined area gets any damage, it will be difficult for him to report back to the head of the sword guild.
A cold glint flashes into his eyes, when he realized the importance of this trip. He decided to kill the opponent quickly.
Time passed,
BOOM BOOM
The terrific sound continues to resonate with the entire area even after 20 minutes. The ongoing confrontation caused all the monsters residing inside this green land to flee.
Under the tree,
Looking at the time, I sighed inwardly. "The confrontation won't end unless one runs out of mana," I grumbled.
But the next second, a wild smile spread on my face. This is a good opportunity for me. I can easily kill them without any effort. Before that, I need to know what happened.
If the sword guild wins, then it will be good for me. They know the answer to ruin, I can follow them from behind. Then I got up from the ground and slowly move forward to know the aftermath.
The next second, I raised my head to see the aftermath.
A pile of corpses spread around the ground. Most of them didn't have full body parts. Severed limbs and hands can be seen clearly.
My face turned a bit solemn. It's not because of sympathy. But I saw only three wizards remaining unscathed.
My gaze fell on their attire. After realizing that the sword guild leader is facing two wizards from the hostile group. I know that the sword guild leader is going to be planted.
He was outnumbered. Seeing that, he is going to die. I decided to step in. I don't want the secret of ruin to fall into others' hands.
WHOOSH
When I walked out of the bush, three of them were immediately startled. The sword guild leader was in relief but the next second his face became stiff.
He found the sudden backer was a mere level-1 wizard. "How is this possible?" He exclaimed in surprise. Because level-1 wizards only hunt in the outer area. They don't even dare to cross the dividing edge.
But this person has not only crossed the dividing edge, he even came here after walking through deadly hill peaks.
"Is this joke or what?" He looked at the newcomer in disbelief.
On the other hand, the wizards from the hostile group were stunned as well. They looked at the sword guild leader before looking at the newcomer.
The atmosphere immediately turned into pin-drop silence. The wizards from the hostile group didn't act. Looking at the fearless face of the newcomer, they thought this person used some disguise spell to hide his level.
But this was enough to make their spines chill.
On other hand, facing the myriad of expressions from these three wizards. I smiled brightly. But my heart was racing faster. I found the sword guild leader's mana reserve has touched rock bottom.
He may look alright but he can't release his spell. He is just putting up an act. I hatched a good plan in mind. I took a confident side and walked closer towards the hostile wizards.
"I want to tell you something," I said to the hostile wizards.
My sudden words made them stunned.
I can't release my gravity spell at close quarters. Otherwise, three of them will turn into blood mists. I don't want to see that happen. So I decided to drag the hostile wizards a few meters away from the sword guild leader.
The hostile wizards looked into each other 's eyes. Though this person appeared to be a level-1 wizard. But both know where are they standing right now.
This place is off-limits for level-3 wizards. If not for the rules, this place would have been already swarmed up by many level-4 wizards.
The hostile wizards misunderstood that this person might be some senior.
A few seconds later, the hostile wizards agreed to talk. Seeing that, I revealed a bright smile on my face.
From beginning to end, I didn't turn towards the sword guild leader. This made the other party stunned.
Next, I walked along with them towards the opposite site. After covering more than 20 meters, I stopped walking.
The hostile wizard also stopped and asked, "Senior, what is it?" He had already confirmed in his mind that this person is senior.
Any chances of resistance will result in their death.
Looking at them, I asked, "What is your guild name?"
"As far as I know, no group is supposed to come here apart from the sword guild," I added further.
The two wizards from the hostile groups were even more terrified.
The level-3 wizard decides to tell everything, "Senior, we are from different adventurer guilds."
"This time, to confront the sword guild members. Many small guilds formed an alliance group to intercept their opportunities," he added further.
Hearing their words a look of understanding dawned upon my face.
Then I asked, "What about other strong guilds?"
But both shook their head in denial.
The sword guild has a level-4 wizard as its head. But it's the same with other strong guilds. I wonder, what happened to them?
