Chapter 190 Old Site?
Wilderness - Venen City,
When I picked up the last fruit, I realized it was time to confront the enemy. After placing the last fruit in my storage bracelet, I didn't turn toward them right away. I simply walked towards other nearby trees in search of similar fruits.
While doing so, I also learned about the enemy's strength through the system's status panel. And this time not one but three status panels popped out.
Their strength attributes caught me off guard. I assumed there was one enemy. But from the status panel, I have learned that there were two more.
Fortunately, three of them were very weak. They have a similar status to Mathew Hunk. Except their magic power is not comparable to his magic rifle.
The strongest of them was an attack-type weapon, it was a basic cleaver. A strange glint flashes into my eyes as I see this detail.
I have only seen this thing in restaurants. To think he had awakened such a knife as his magic weapon. I couldn't help but imagine his ancestors might have been chefs.
I'm glad that his attributes were low, otherwise, I have to be on guard from his cleaver knife. Then I looked into his team member's magic.
One of them has a sledgehammer, which is another typical variety of hammers. My lips swept into arcs. I couldn't help but amuse myself, these weapons are like everyday items.
It's hard to awaken magic ability. Considering the human population. A sign wizard is considered the most honorable status.
But only wizards like them know there is even discrimination that exists among wizards. Wizards who awaken everyday items as magic abilities were detested everywhere.
So I wasn't that surprised by their magic power. Especially the last one, he has the most commonly used everyday item as magic power, the iron rod.
It's better to say three of them were thugs instead of wizards. My worries were swept away completely after looking into their status.
I certainly feel it's better to return home after taking care of these three. I assume three of them had some stuff in their storage bracelet. If they are involved in constant loot and killings, I might find more stuff in their storage bracelet.
A quick glint flashes into my eyes.
Instead of wasting more time looking for monsters. I better end these people and then go home without worry. A huge smile blossomed on my face.
On the other hand, "What's wrong with this kid?"
"Why is he smiling all of a sudden?" The skinny wizard muttered in a hushed tone.
He looked at his leader for an answer. But he found that he was surprised just like him.
"Did he have team members around him?" The leader uttered in surprise.
Then he realized something, he felt three of them were exposed. Otherwise, it's difficult to explain the other party's smiling expression.
"Move! We will leave this place after killing him," after saying he jumped out of the bushes and faced Vincent Carey.
SSHSSSHH
Seeing the action of the leader, the other two followed him right away. When the three of the stand together to face Vincent Carey. They found the other party was calm and composed.
"Weird," the skinny wizard uttered. He has a vague feeling that it's better not to confront strange wizards. Because you can't find what's wrong. If things go south, it will be hard for the three of them to escape alive.
At the same time, seeing three of them in front of me. I stopped putting up an act and faced them ahead with a smile.
The next second, I uttered, "Gravity Field"
A horrible pressure appeared out of nowhere. It immediately applied to three of them. Feeling tremendous pressure, the three wizards directly cursed onto the ground.
PFFF PFFF PFFF
What's happening? Three of them have no idea. Before they could realize three of them were injured.
After spilling a large amount of blood, three of them try to get up. But to their dismay, their bones were shattered.
"It's over," the leader uttered in disbelief. He thought he was dealing with an amateur kid. But he never would have expected the situation to turn out like this.
Turns out that that kid was pretending all along. "Damn it," He was helpless and frustrated.
"Leader," the skinny dude said in a hoarse voice. This was the time they were planted like this. Due to tremendous gravitational force, he couldn't help but lift a finger.
He felt this was nothing but humiliation. Getting planted at the hands of a kid, what could be worse than this?
The third person, the silent wizards beside the leader, tried to manifest the iron rod magic. But under this terrible pressure, it's very challenging for him.
At the same time, I take out the black dagger from my storage ring. I noticed my mana reserve will hit a low point in a few minutes. Once the mana reserve depletes, it's impossible to cast gravity magic anymore.
I decided to end this quickly. Then I slowly walked towards them under the active field.
Hearing my footsteps, the leader raised his head to see me. He inquired while gnashing his teeth, "Who are you?"
But to his surprise, he didn't find any reaction from that kid. He continued to say, "Leave us alone, we are members of the valiant sword. Let this be bygone as bygone."
"You can't afford to offend our guild," He added lastly.
After hearing the guild's name, I paused my movements. I'm familiar with this guild. Because it makes constant headlines in the news. This is one of the top guilds in this city.
I wrinkled my eyebrows in surprise.
Usually, top guilds have standards of selection. It's hard to believe they have recruited wizards with such trash magic power.
But even if it's true, I'm not scared. Then I continued to walk.
Seeing me coming, the leader was dumbfounded.
"Maybe he is an outsider," the skinny wizard uttered. It was highly possible. Many young wizards from various cities came here to train.
He doesn't know the exact magic of that kid. But seeing the horrible power exerted by it. He strongly felt this kid is an outsider from a powerful family.
But there is no medicine for regret. Three of them going to die here it's a foregone conclusion. Feeling hopeless, the skinny wizard shut his eyes off.
At this time, the leader was desperate. He thought he could scare the young man by mentioning his guild name. But it turns out it's not a threat at all.
In desperation, the leader racked up his brain for some solution. Finally, he thought about something and his expression was condensed. This was the last thing he wanted to try.
"Wait, I have one more thing to tell you. But you have to let us live after that," the leader uttered in desperation.
The skinny wizard who closed his eyes was dumbfounded. He did not expect the leader to come up with another solution. As far as he knows there is nothing valuable they can give.
Even their guild's name failed to provide deterrence. But the next second he widened his eyes in surprise.
Before the young man could say anything the leader opened his mouth, "Another team from our guild is going to explore some secret site on wide plains."
When I raised my dagger to stab him, I heard his words. Hearing that I immediately paused my movements. I was shocked to the core. It took some seconds to digest the information.
I turned towards the leader and asked in a solemn tone, "What are you blabbering about?"
This news was too good to hear. If it was true then I could strike gold.
The skinny wizard was in disbelief. He never expected the leader to release this news also. Even if they somehow survive from here, they will not end up good.
If higher-ups learn about their leaked information, three of them will be skinned alive. He couldn't help but curse at his leader. This piece of information was secret only known to higher-ups in their guild.
It's just they coincidentally overheard some of their conversations. Now that news was leaked by their leader. He couldn't help but cry without tears.
The third member of the team was just as surprised as the skinny wizard. He also resigned to his fate but never thought the leader would drop this bomb now.
Because if the secret is known by other guilds. They won't let their guild's covert operation succeed.
Especially the information leaked to the government. Then their guild will be sanctioned by the government for hiding the information from them.
After releasing the seriousness of this matter, he looked at the skinny wizard. Both of them looked into each other's eyes.
Other than sighing they can do nothing about it.
At the same time, the leader answered, "My words were true, my guild found some old site. Next week, they planned to explore it."
Hearing that my breathing became quicker. The news is true. At this time images of those cruel wizards flash before my eyes. Especially those three women who used ancient spells last time. I don't why I feel they have something to do with the old site.
