Chapter 824 Red Scroll
From MC's perspective:
Adamont Canyon:
Boom!
One after another a deafening sound can be heard. Like something big is happening inside the middle of the Adamont Canyon.
"Evil Hand Ethan," Galvin said in a cold tone. He was careless. He didn't expect a big trap to be set up for them.
He thought that the news was fake as well. It was deliberately leaked out to lure them.
"No," Suddenly, he wasn't able to sense Vincent Carey on the ground.
His expression changes drastically. Just as he wants to turn back.
"He...He...He.., where are you going?" A voice reached his ears before another spell attack came in his direction.
On the other hand, the level-7 Evil Wizards on the ground are looking for Vincent.
"Where is he?"
"He was here a few seconds ago"
The evil wizards start cursing. As they missed a chance to catch Vincent Carey.
"See, is there any underground passage!" one of them said.
Hearing that everyone starts searching for hidden passages. There could be some secret passage in this area.
As the time passed, they searched the nook and corner of the bedrock. But there was no sign of passage.
All of them were grouped to discuss.
"It must be either an artifact or a teleportation scroll."
"Which explains his sudden disappearance," One of them commented.
Hearing that others expressed the same opinion as well.
"This kid was protected by a powerhouse before. It's normal to have some means."
"We should split and search the adamant canyon. I don't think a little level-5 Wizard can escape from us," A female evil wizard said in an icy tone.
Swoosh!
The next second, everyone disappeared from the spot and started their search operation.
Inside the Gregor Mansion,
I'm watching the outside scene in the mirror. A hint of cold flashes in my eyes.
"They are level-7 Wizards," I muttered to myself. And there are 5 of them.
And the one who is fighting against the Elder Galvin must be a level-8 Wizard.
"This team...," I muttered to myself. It's not a coincidence for a high-ranking team to appear here.
I doubt they are after the gravity fragment. Because this treasure is no use to others except me. So I'm guessing they got the news when we left the academy.
For them to reach before us. One of the strong bases must be here right in the Adamont Canyon or close to the cities.
Otherwise, it's difficult for them to appear here. There are high-ranking wizards in the cities who can sense spatial disturbance.
No unknown person can go anywhere. There is common consensus among the major organizations which is to deduce the identity of high-ranking wizards with their means.
Even if the identity is exposed, no one would say anything. In that way, they can be sure of whether the trespasser is a local wizard or foreign wizard.
So I'm sure that their bases must be here.
I don't know what's happening in the sky. Apart from the terrible booming sound. I don't know the real status of the fight.
But I think that Elder Galvin will be fine. He is the Sub-Taboo Wizard as well. I hope he appears after killing the enemy.
At the same time, I thought of sending an emergency message to the academy. The next second, I shook my head.
A hint of selfishness and greed appeared in my heart. If people start coming, then it will alert other forces as well.
Then it would be hard for me to get the gravity resource. I don't want this chance to slip away. Any normal good wizard would seek help from the academy.
But I'm different. I can save my own life. Similarly, Elder Galvin is not a weak wizard. The only thing that worries me is that he could have already sent the emergency message.
So I should act faster.
A few minutes later,
I didn't hear the booming sound. Hearing that I realized the fight was taking place. But not here.
Swoosh!
The next second, I appeared outside. Then I looked around. If there is any hostile wizard around me, then the system would warn me.
Now I decided to venture deeper where I got the induction from.
Meanwhile,
Elder Galavin was finding it hard to deal with the evil hand wizard. But still, it's not easy to kill him. Because the Evil Hand Wizard was one step away from the level-9 Stage.
So at his current level, there is hardly any rival for him. At the same time, his rule power is better than Galvin's. He has been walking on Wizardry Path hundreds of years before Galvin.
It's normal for Galvin to be pressured. But he is more worried about Vincent. He knew there were level-7 Wizards after his life.
"No, I can't wait any longer," a cold glint flashes in his eyes.
Boom!
After releasing another spell attack towards the opponent. He took a red scroll from his storage bracelet before tearing it off.
The next second, a red smoke appears before the scroll turns to ashes.
This scene didn't go unnoticed under Ethan's eyes.
"Damn it, the Sub-Taboo b@starts are hard to kill," He cursed under his breath.
The next second, he cast another spell. A sea of black ink appears before him before rushing towards Galvin.
Because of their high level of confrontation. The terrain below them is getting damaged. The ancient tall bedrocks are cracking under pressure.
...
Meanwhile,
When Galvin destroyed the scroll. It was immediately felt by the old man's dean.
In the dean's tower, he has the same red scroll with him. Which is starting to turn on itself. The red scroll is living magic material.
The alchemy life has one life and 2 bodies. Now one of the bodies was a destroyer. Another one starts disappearing on itself.
"He is in danger," The old man's expression turned solemn.
"Was it the ruins or some other danger?" He muttered to himself. He knows about the adamont canyon.
If there was a dangerous ruin, it's not a surprising thing. But this signal means. Galvin is asking for help.
The next second, he wasted no time in informing the Crippled old man.
A few seconds later,
"No need to send a response team. I'm going there myself." The crippled old man's voice reached his ears.
Hearing that he sighed in relief. But he thought of something else.
"Did he know something was going to happen?" The old man asked in his heart.
The next second he shook his head. "Anyway, if he is going then nothing bad is going to happen to them," He said to him.
...
A few minutes later,
I got closer to the induction area. So far no one spotted me. I guess the evil wizards are looking for me in other places.
Then I shifted my attention to the terrain. So far there was no ruin found on the surface. Not even an abandoned hut or base.
But the induction is getting stronger. I can sense the yearning of my gravity mana core. So I started following again.
Time passed,
After an hour of exploration, I realized that the induction was coming from the underground passages, not from above the open land surface.
Only after a look of understanding dawned on me.
If it was on the surface, the ruin would have been plundered long ago. Now the signal is coming from the passage.
Which means the ruin was a new one. I'm the one who is going to explore first.
The next second, my eyes became firm. So far there has been no trouble. I think it will be the same next time.
Then I started following the passage where the induction is coming from. The passage path was long and dark.
But as I continued to follow the path. A sense of uneasiness appeared in my heart. "No ruin is without danger," I comforted myself.
I have complete trust in my system. If there is a trap ahead, it will warn me.
Soon, I reached the dean's end. Seeing that I sighed in relief. Because it did not end in real life. There was an artificial door blocking the path.
When I got closer. A sense of crisis hit me.
[Ding! warning]
[The door has runic restrictions. Any forced opening will lead to the destruction of the place.]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind. The next second, my expression turned dark.
"As expected of an ancient mage, the leftover restrictions are still working," I admired in my heart.
The next second, I decided to attack. I don't have any time to ponder. And I don't know how to solve the problem.
It's best to destroy the base and look for the gravity resource. I don't want other things.
I raised my hand and pointed at the door.
"Gravity Blast," I cast the magic spell.
A wisp of magic released from my finger and shot at the door. When the gravity magic comes in contact with the door.
Bang!
An explosion occurs. The aftermath immediately swept away the passage. On the other hand, the door was blasted away revealing another path ahead.
