Chapter 125 Abandoned Building
Bellbrook, City
Last night,
After arriving in Bellbrook, the police airbus landed at their branch office. This visit was so sudden that no one in the branch office was aware of it.
When the air car landed safely, everyone walked out of the vehicle.
Level-5 Metal Wizard, Billy Woods, looked at the two teams and motioned for them to follow. Surprisingly, old man Billy didn't let them inside the branch office.
Instead, he led them outside. Since it's night time, there are not many people here in the street, except few vehicles can be seen flying above.
After coming to the street, the old man, Billy, said, "I will send you a map of this city. Since it's an investigative mission, you can first search for the marked spot on the maps."
Then he continues to say, "Eva and her team can search the east part of the city. Alan and his team can reach the south part of the city. And I'll cover the remaining one. And most importantly, if you come across any strong wizards, inform me first. "
After saying that, old man Billy disappears from the spot. He decided to begin his search in the city's west end.
On the other hand, two teams were dumbfounded by his sudden disappearance.
While Ms. Eva breathed in relief, "Dept Head is really strict. He didn't allow anyone to open their mouth from the beginning of the journey," she thought to herself.
Then I thought about the importance of the mission. She felt it was fine.
Next, looking at Mr. Alan, she said, "Well, we were moving too." After saying that, she looked at her team. Then she moved towards the east part of the city with her team.
Mr. Alan smiled wryly and commented, "Let's hope for a miracle." Obviously, he meant the cure. But when they come closer towards reality, he feels their hope is ridiculous.
Then he looked at his team and replied, "Alright, we should be going on too." "I hope we will come across their hideouts."
After saying that, he looked at Jimmy Herman and commented, "Jimmy, our team's success depends on you. Unlike others, you know the scent of rogue wizards. So we should find some before they do."
Jimmy Herman's expression condensed, then he nodded at Mr. Alan. Then they too left the spot and moved toward a southerly location.
On the other hand,
After separating from Alan's team, Ms. Eva found a secluded spot. She decided to wait for a moment to check the map.
"Thank goodness, the Dept Head didn't forget." With his sudden disappearance, I thought he had almost forgotten. Ms. Eva said to herself.
When I was checking the map, Noel Grant and others were checking the surroundings. Betty Fry cast her eye spell to look for wizards around them.
Fortunately, she didn't find any suspicious activity.
Seeing Betty's relaxed expression, Shelly and Noell Grant breathed in relief. Both of them then knew the true strength of the eye wizard. No one can escape from her vision.
Soon, Ms. Eva confirms the nearest marked spot in the eastern part of the city.
A quick glint flashes in her eyes. "Abandoned Hospital," he muttered to himself. Then, looking at her teammates, she told them about the nearby marked spot on the map.
"It's naturally a good place for rogue wizards to hide." Shelly Lang said with some affirmation.
Noel Grant asked, looking at Ms. Eva, "What are your plans now?"
Ms. Eve has already made up her mind. She said, "Let's go investigate this abandoned hospital first."
Then she led everyone to the abandoned hospital. The abandoned hospital is currently a safe haven for a few rogue mages from minor factions.
When Ms. Eva came with her team, It's completely dark. Fortunately, they are wizards, not completely helpless like humans. At this time, Betty Fry used her magic.
She guided everyone to the six-story abandoned building. They enter the first floor and start their investigation. Betty and Noel Grant are responsible for their safety.
Eva and Shelly put their minds to searching for the room. They didn't leave any nook or corner of the room unnoticed. Who knows, there might be some hidden compartment in the room?
So they thoroughly checked every room on the first floor. Then everyone walked towards the 2nd floor. Before Betty could react, a shadow dashed towards the teams.
When the shadow reached closer towards their body, Noel Grant extended his hand and slashed it forward. It all happened in the blink of an eye.
But if someone had noticed clearly, they would have found an illusory iron sword in Noel's hands. When he slashed it forward, a powerful sword spell was released from the sword.
The incoming shadwo finds something wrong with Noel's posture. Next, the shadow completely freezes in the air. The shadow is struck by the incoming sword spell. But it's too late to evade now.
"Pfff!"
The sword attack beheaded the shadow on the spot. As a result, blood spilled all over the spot. And the body of the shadow dropped dead on the ground.
None of them were surprised by the shadow's appearance. Since it's a marked location on the map, they knew there was something wrong in the building.
Then Ms. Eva raised her hand to cast a basic spell to illuminate the surroundings.
They only saw some shadows. They don't know whether it's a wizard or a monster.
When the light ball formed on the tip of her finger, The surroundings came into view, especially the appearance of the shadow.
As they expected, Shadow is none other than a wizard. The wizard is very old and haggard. He was so old that one could smell decomposition from his body.
Seeing the appearance of a shadow, Noel grunted, "These places might be occupied by some lunatics."
At this time, Shelly Lang commented, "Fortunately, it's a level-1 wizard."
From her point of view, if there was a wizard with the same strength as her, then it would have been a difficult result.
After turning her opponent's body into ashes, she led everyone to investigate this room.
Time went on. Like the first floor, they didn't find anything on the second floor.
But after encountering a rogue wizard, they realise this building is not without the wizard's presence.
From time to time, Betty uses her eyes to find any abnormal changes. Last time, the rogue wizard was right after the entrance.
Since he was a lower level wizard, everyone reacted in time.
"Okay, there is nothing here. "Let's go to the 3rd floor," Ms. Eva said.
Betty thought of something and replied, "Yeah, this is the first spot. There are too many places to visit. "
Ms. Eva understood her words, so she replied, "It's impossible to search the entire city with the help of eight wizards. But our work has been greatly reduced due to the marked spots. And don't forget, this is an emergency mission. "
Thinking about the emergency mission, a bright light flashes in Noel's eyes. He almost forgot about the reward. Since it was an emergency mission, he knew it was bound to be difficult. So he didn't complain.
Next, the team reaches the 3rd floor. This time, Betty finds the atmosphere here is a bit unusual. She immediately said, "Be careful.This floor is not normal"
On getting her reminder, everyone sharpened their senses. Noel condenses the illusory iron sword in his hand. Ms. Eva is already in battle-ready mode. The only person a little uncomfortable here is Shelly Lang.
Other than her flying magic ability, she only has level-3 wizard strength. Seeing her trouble, Ms. Eva reminded her to take out some artefacts to protect herself.
Since this floor is a bit unusual, they begin to search every nook and corner of the room slowly.
Finally, when they came to the last room, All of a sudden, they heard creepy laughter.
"Ge....ge....ge.....food...food," a dark silhouette said with a creepy laugh.
Everyone feels goosebumps all over their bodies. When Ms. Eva feels disgust, she extends her palms to inflict pain magic.
Feeling the terrible danger, the laughter stopped. Ms. Eva didn't give any chance to the rogue wizard. She increased the intensity of the pain.
The rogue wizard roared, feeling agonising pain all over his body. But his attempts to stop them were futile. Soo lost his last breath and dropped dead on the ground.
A quick glint flashes in Betty's eyes.
Because she noticed something. She feels Eva is a lot stronger than before. Soon after, Ms. Eva turned the corpse into ashes. And then everyone walked toward the 4th floor.
At this time, Shelly Lang thought of something and she asked, "If this building structure is still stable, then why is it getting abandoned?"
Ms. Eva turned towards her and replied, "It is not important to us. Put your attention on the surroundings. "
Shelly Lang snorted coldly, then began to focus on the surroundings. When they step inside, the atmosphere gets a lot more loomy and creepy. The smell is also very bad from this floor.
Ms.Eva alerted everyone by saying, "Everyone open your eyes and be ready to attack anytime." She feels the difficulty of each floor is not strange.
They might encounter some danger on the last floor.
She also thought Department Head Billy might know something. That's why this building got marked by him.
