Chapter 825 Deadly Trap
From MC's perspective:
Adamont Canyon,
A few minutes ago,
Elder Galvin and Evil Hand Ethan are both pressing each other. No one wants to use too much mana.
Ethan is waiting for the level-7 Wizards to kill Vincent Carey. At the same time, Galvin is hoping for the reinforcement to arrive.
Instead of wasting his time with Ethan. He has been looking for a way out to protect Vincent. He knows Vincent was no match for dark league level-7 Wizards.
If anything happens to Vincent Carey, it will be a huge loss to both the academy and Hall.
"How long are they going to take?" Galvin said in his heart.
Boom!
After hearing the explosion, everyone turned towards the location.
"What happened?" He muttered.
"Someone attacked the base," a hint of surprise flashes in Ethan's eyes.
Then he realized something. The other wizards might be taking against that kid.
Swoosh!
He flew out towards Galvin to block his path again.
Meanwhile,
The level-7 Wizards realized someone entered their trap. As everyone was looking for Vincent Carey, there was no other wizard there.
Then the person who touched the trap was the Gravity Kid.
"Let's regroup, the target is trapped," One of them said.
If anyone enters the room, the level-7 Wizard and below will be suppressed. So they knew Vincent Carey was going to die.
They just have to return and confirm it.
On the other hand,
The door was blasted away. The next second, I felt a great sense of crisis. Like something hidden in the aftermath.
If I wait any longer, I might fall here.
Swoosh!
The next second, I appeared in the Gregor Mansion. A small sweet bead appeared on my forehead. It took me a few seconds to realize.
I thought the leftover runic restrictions wouldn't pose a threat. But what about that power? It can certainly threaten me.
Which means any level-6 Wizard like me could fall here. Then I entered the control room to see what happened outside.
In the mirror, I see the passage was destroyed and completely blocked by the fallen bedrock. There was no way to go outside. Unless I create a path myself.
I'm not worried about that. But what happened to the door? When I started to observe. I see there is a path behind the door. Which leads to somewhere.
I don't know whether it led to a secret room or another route. My eyes flickered. Then I recalled people were looking for me outside.
The explosion must have attracted their attention. There is also Elder Galvin fighting against the opponent. Looking at the situation, I have realized I can't waste time.
Swoosh!
The next second, I appeared outside. There is no threat remaining. The system will warn me if anything appears.
Then I decided to enter a new passage. When I started waking in. I realized it was a secret hideout. Which was blocked by the door.
When I looked around. I spotted many old-era items. Which tells me someone used to live here. There are some tattered books and clothes.
The clothes seem to be a gray robe which is the common dress code of ancient wizards. But these are of no use to me. Then I started looking around to find the gravity resources.
"Hmm," a trace of surprise flashes in my eyes. I felt the induction again. This time the induction comes from this room.
"This?" I'm dumbfounded. I thought there would be some tricks to face. The next second, I started following the induction feeling.
I found a box on the broken table. The feeling comes from the box. Seeing that I walked to the table. But when I touched the box,
[Ding! Warning]
[A high-level runic restriction was placed inside the room.]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind.
"What?" A hint of disbelief appeared in my eyes. How come this place has leftover runic restrictions? Won't magically run out? Or disappear over time.
Is there any endless magic source here? I asked myself. I don't know about runic restriction. But at least I know rune patterns need energy drawn from some source.
The next second, I shook my head. This is not the time to ponder over this. But I can confirm that there is something wrong with the box.
I didn't notice it at first. But when my fingers touched it. I felt sudden heart palpitation and at the same time, I felt the strong induction of the Gravity Resource.
Which proves that what I need is inside the box.
Then I decided to use the probe function of the system. When the probe status appeared before my eyes.
My heart was shocked to the core.
"The box is a treasure box. But at the same time, now it's being used as a trigger to activate the runic restrictions," I muttered to myself.
"Trap," A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.
First, the sudden appearance of the dark league members. Now this trap. This shows that this place was recently set up to lure me inside.
I quickly connected all the dots. No wonder, the runic restriction on the door was powerful. It was made to kill me.
"What a cunning dark league?" My eyes burst out with a cold glint. Fortunately, I have a space mansion with me. With this, I can be safe anywhere.
"Where is he?"
"He must be inside"
Suddenly, I heard a voice coming from behind.
"They are here," I muttered to myself. In the current state, I can't win against them. At the same time, I don't want to expose my strength.
Otherwise, the dark league won't hesitate to dispatch the powerhouse to target me. Then my gaze fell on the box. I made a quick decision.
Swoosh!
I grabbed the box. The next second, I appeared in the Gregor Mansion.
Outside,
Because the box was removed from the place. The trigger was activated. All the deadly runic restrictions became activated.
Bang!
A loud explosion occurs. The secret base was destroyed. The aftermath immediately swept away the surroundings causing more bedrooms to break.
The level-7 Wizards who are clearing the path got hit by the shockwave. The work of runic restrictions was similar to the explosion of many level-7 Spell attacks.
The dark league wizards quickly defended themselves. But none of them fell.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..., the target must be dead."
"We did it"
"Let's inform the elders and leave the place."
The level-7 Wizards started cheering. But from beginning to end they never saw Vincent Carey.
Inside the Gregor Mansion,
I saw everything through the mirror. My expression was serious. It was a great escape again. Thanks to the system warnings and its functions.
I was naive to believe that the base was part of the ruins.
Then I called up the system in mind.

The status panel appeared before my eyes. Seeing that no weird evil attacks were involved. I sighed in relief. I was expecting them to use dark-type magic in the runic restrictions.
But looks like they had opted for the elemental attacks to kill me. In the end, their plan has failed as well.
Then I closed the status before turning towards the box. Now the box was safe to open.
Outside,
"Ha...Ha..Ha..., he is gone."
"The Sub-Taboo Wizard seed is no more," Evil Hand Ethan said with a laugh. He knew the whole base exploded this time.
There is no need to contain Galvin anymore. If he waits any longer, their reinforcement might come.
Swoosh!
He disappears from the spot.
On the other hand, Galvin was in a state of shock. He couldn't find any trace of Vincent Carey. He ignored the evil wizard's words before rushing out towards the explosion site.
He didn't expect them to set up a trap to lure Vincent Carey. Now he understood everything.
