Chapter 330 Part Three: Ancient Battlefield (#946)
Yellow River Academy,
"Is it a breakthrough?" Lara White muttered to herself. Vincent's breakthrough surprised her as well. She once again assumed that Vincent might have consumed many resources. She doesn't believe Vincent broke through because of talent.
Lara immediately thought about Battle Tower. She feels Vincent will break her records again in the coming days. As this thought rose in her heart, she decided to challenge him later.
Meanwhile,
"Strange?" Kate Cohens said to herself. Just a week before, she is convincing her student that it is difficult for Vincent to get a breakthrough with his mediocre talent.
But now, she revealed a wry smile on her face.
Even the speed of the breakthrough is not comparable to her student. But she feels there are some lies in Vincent's information.
Especially the information about personal qualifications. She feels it must be fabricated. Otherwise, it's impossible to explain the current situation.
She wants to confront someone about the unexplainable situation. When thinking about John Meyers, she sighed to herself. After some seconds, she let go of the troubles in her heart.
Anyway, this matter is related to the Sub-Taboo hall. She doesn't have to worry too much about it. She just hopes that her student won't think too much about Vincent's strength.
Meanwhile
John Meyers who returned from the mission also came to know about this. He immediately went to find Vincent. But unfortunately, Vincent has left for a mission.
He won't be returning anytime soon. John Meyers' heart filled with surprise. He had never expected Vincen to take a mission without consulting him.
Then later he learned about the ins and outs of the situation. Wizard Gilbert is the reason behind Vincent's mission. A strange emotion flashes in John's eyes.
Even for him, it's difficult to contact a True House Wizard. But here Vincent can come in contact with a Level-6 wizard that easily. Sighing, he then left the Sub-Taboo Hall.
Since Vincent is outside right now. He recently escaped from the limelight but a major storm is brewing slowly.
But John believes in higher-ups of Sun- Taboo Hall. They won't let anything major happen to Vincent.
...
(From MC's perspective)
It has been several hours since I've followed this evil wizard. At first, I thought it would be difficult to collect evil magic flowers. But while following him, I saw him collecting some evil magic flowers coincidently.
It was so random. And the evil magic flowers were growing in an unnatural place filled with baleful mana. If not for someone experienced to find out, that place can be easily missed.
But coincidently the evil wizard came across the evil magic flower. From his look, I see that evil magic flowers were important to him. But thanks to him, I'm not only going to kill him but also collect evil magic flowers from him.
Time passed,
Seeing the evil wizard collecting some ruined items. I decided to end his life later. The old man has become a treasure collector for me. In these two hours, the old man has collected many broken items.
But unfortunately, I wasn't able to see the real value of the items.
A few minutes later,
I see the old man stopped his movements at one point. Seeing that, I carefully concealed my presence. There is also a magic cloak with me. Before coming here, I wore it for safety. But now it turns out to be fruitful.
No matter what, it's impossible for an old man to feel mana presence from me. I'm getting to know the real value of the magic cloak.
Suddenly the old man's movements caught my attention.
He carefully picked something from below. I see a red, triangular-shaped leaf in his palm. "What is this?" I mumbled under my breath.
"Ge...Ge...Ge....," The old man let out a creepy laughter, looking at the red leaf in his hands.
Hearing that, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. "The old man found something useful again," I muttered to myself. There is no need for action now, I'll kill him when the time is right.
After that everything will be mine.
When I'm pondering, I hear the sound of disturbance. It's not near me but that old man is finally facing some monster.
[4th Order - Salamander Monster]
Seeing that, quick glint flashes in my eyes. I'm finally going to see the old man's combat power.
The salamander has a red and black scale behind its back. Its sharp claws can tear the body of an average level-4 wizard. I want to see what the old man is going to do.
Swish!
Facing the salamander, the evil wizard immediately cast the spell. A hazy figure formed right next to him. Which took the initiative to meet the attack of salamanders.
Seeing the figure, I immediately recognized it. "Clone," I mumbled under my breath. A clone spell comes under the mysterious category in our wizard world.
Seeing that the evil wizard is using the spell just like that. A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes.
The clone crossed the dune and clashed with the monster. My expression becomes condensed a little bit. Apart from showing physical prowess, the clone seems to be powerless in other aspects.
Suddenly, a look of understanding dawned upon me. The clone is using only one type of attribute. Which is strength.
The next second, my gaze fell on the evil wizard. The old man seems to be casting the spell again. He was standing in the same spot but his eyes were staring at the salamander monster.
When the spell attack was launched, the salamander roared furiously. Blood is dripping from its eyes. The attack slowed down the monster's movement. Using the opportunity the clone attacked the monster again.
A few minutes later,
The cold carcass of the monster dropped to the ground. The evil wizard seems to be tired out. He sat on the ground to recover his mana.
But a strange glint flashes in my eyes. "That's it," I muttered to myself. The evil wizard doesn't seem to be all that powerful. Both fought neck to neck. It was not a one-sided battle at all.
Then I realized something. His spells aren't that great in the first place. On top of it, the monster seems to be unaffected by the evil spell.
But he had the clone to distract the monster. Otherwise, it's difficult for that old man to kill the monster.
I sighed inwardly.
Swish!
After a few minutes, I see a visitor again. This time the person is a familiar one. "Royal Force Wizard," I mumbled under my breath.
What is he doing here? My eyes flickered with a cold glint. The visitor is not good. Instead of attacking, he is casually walking toward the evil wizard.
Seeing that, I feel something amiss. The evil wizard stood up from the ground and spoke to the Royal Force Wizard.
"Acquaintance?" I said in my heart.
Then I decided to probe the status of the visitor.
"System, probe the target's details," I told the system.
["Ding!" The host's voice is recognized]
["Ding" The command is 100% executed]

1. The Stone Blast 2. Rock Palm [Mental Method—Stone Arm Method. (Earth Grade)]
A status panel appeared in front of my eyes. My eyes immediately swept past the details. "Stone Arm?" I uttered in surprise. It's an earth elemental magic variant.
My gaze next fell on his talent. Which seems to be okay. Then I stared at his magic spells. Stone blast? Rock Palm? These two spells sound formidable.
After canceling the status panel, I shifted my gaze toward the duo. Seeing this two talking, I couldn't help but furrow my eyebrows.
Suddenly, I see two of them exchanging something. The wizard from Royal Force Hall gave some type of stone. Right after seeing that, the evil wizard grinned wildly.
I don't know why? But I strongly feel this is not going to be good. This transaction must be stopped. Then I see in exchange the evil wizard takes out evil magic flowers.
After seeing that, I lost my patience.
Swish!
I disappeared from the spot and got closer to them in a blink of an eye.
Meanwhile,
"Who is it?" the evil wizard got alerted. The Royal Force Wizard's expression darkened. It's not good if someone leaks out their meeting here.
He is from government forces, if the news leaks out it will cause disastrous damage. "No, I have to kill the sneaky ," His eyes turned bloodshot the next second.
Both of them retracted backward to make some distance.
Meanwhile,
Seeing their expression get flustered. I raised my hand to cast the spell. My target is the evil wizard. After neutralizing him, I can easily take care of the stone arm wizard.
