From MC's perspective:
I waited for a few minutes. Seeing that there were no changes outside.
Swish~
The next moment, I appeared outside and rushed to touch the corpse.
This all happened in a blink of an eye,
The advanced bone skeleton felt the changes. Before they could attack, I was already in front of the corpse and touched it.
Swish~
The corpse disappears and appears inside the Gregor Mansion.
At the same time, I used the flight ability to flee. But the advanced bone skeleton released the attack.
My senses are alarmed by great danger. But this time I'm prepared. I evaded the attack in mid-air just right before it got closer to me.
The bone attack hits the empty air. Seeing that I continued to flee.
Several hours later,
I arrived back in the watch tower room. Today is the last day of the mission. And it went well. I had made the right decision by not triggering the advanced bone skeletons.
After pushing down these thoughts, I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion. I retrieved the silver bracelet from the corpse before placing the corpse up with other piles of dead bodies.
After going back to the city, I have to buy some potions to eradicate the corpses.
When I appeared outside. I noticed the time. It's time to go back. But for a moment, a trace of struggle appeared in my eyes.
Normally, I should report it to the local government. But the disappearance of the watch tower guards wouldn't go unnoticed.
This would lead to unnecessary troubles. So I made up my mind to go back to the Academy directly.
After gaining some clarity, I thought about checking the status panel.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. Mana reserve is enough to go back. Then I closed the status panel and started to head back on foot.
There is a reason for not using the flight ability. Because I had not seen anyone from the local government in these last few days. Which is puzzling to me.
Besides, the dark league organization had not sent any killers so far. So until I get back to the academy, I don't want to leak my whereabouts.
Meanwhile,
On a busy street in the city. An old man wearing worn-out black sleeve clothes is standing in front of an inn.
It was the same inn where Vincent Carey stayed for some time when he came to the city. The old man is none other than an assassin from the Triple Dagger.
He left the capital right after he received the mission. Instead of going to Aten City, he has been monitoring the entrance here.
It doesn't matter whichever route Vincent Carey picks up to come back. As long as he touches the land of the Weden City. The Trip Daggers men will report back to him.
He arranged several men for this mission. The reason he is standing here is because there is a path leading to Aten City from here.
But unlike other routes. This one was filled with difficult terrain. So no one goes through this particular route.
But the old man knows since the target uses this particular inn. There is a possibility that Vincent would come back down the same path.
"Harumph"
"I have never waited so long for an assassination," The old man muttered to himself.
If not for the hefty amount, he wouldn't have come here. To kill the target, he is going to try his new poison. Which he hasn't tested before.
The news poison is composed of several other lethal poisons. So even for healers, it won't be easy to crack his poison.
Thinking about his product, his eyes gleamed with a twinkle. If he succeeds, then he will receive more commission in the future. He can even sell his mixed poison to make money.
So a lot of his plans are riding on this mission's success. That's why he has been patiently waiting for the target.
The following day,
After getting out of bed. I began my morning routine. Yesterday my journey went smoothly. And during the night, I slept inside the Gregor Mansion.
Several minutes later,
I sat in the middle of the mana stones and started doing the meditation. While running the Gravity Ark mental method. I began to feel the gray mana particles from the surroundings.
Then I slowly started to absorb the energy into my body. When the man entered my body. I guided myself according to the mental method.
After circulation, the refined man settles down inside the mana core space. The small rock-size mana core quickly absorbed the refined mana.
Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
Three hours later,
After completing the meditation, I opened my eyes. As usual, I felt the changes after daily meditation.
Then I decided to check the status.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.
[Ding! The Host's command is recognized.]

The status panel appeared. Then I looked into the details. Seeing that the progress was normal. A hint of satisfaction flashes in my eyes.
After closing the status panel, I went to take a bath.
Several minutes later,
I appeared outside in the forest wearing fresh clothes and a black mask on my face. Inhaling the breath of fresh air, my mood becomes lightened.
Then I resumed my journey.
Time passed,
After several hours of walking, I finally saw the rooftops of the building. Seeing that I increased my pace and walked out of the dense bushes a few minutes later.
Seeing the familiar round and people's movements on the streets. I sighed inwardly. Somehow, I managed to survive in the hellish environment alone for one week.
Then I started walking towards the inn where I stayed on my first day. I want to eat some mana meat with salad.
While I'm walking casually, my system gave me a sudden warning.
[Ding! A trace of murderous hints is detected.]
[Host is advised to find a populous place.]
When the mechanical voice sounded in my mind. My heart starts to beat faster. But I didn't stop walking and kept my expression normal.
The warning was so sudden. But I wasn't surprised. Because I don't think the dark league is quite forgiving. They must have planned something for me here.
[Ding! A trace of murderous hints is detected.]
[Host is advised to prepare for the attack.]
When the mechanical voice sounded in my eyes. I slightly turned around to see the source. Few people can be seen walking on the streets.
All of them are wizards. So it's difficult to judge who is the culprit. Suddenly, I saw an old man turn toward me. The next second, he turned his head away.
For a moment, my gaze locked on him. This person is not normal. Because he had a different look. It was not a casual look but he was observing me.
"Who is he?" I mumbled under my breath.
