Chapter 374 Part 2: Consuming The Ancient Blood (Level-4 Wizard)
From MC's Perspective:
My mind was in a state of the blank. I don't know how long it has been. But I came across a vague picture in my mind. The pictures seem to be ancient and new. They were not mine at all.
Before I could think of anything else, a few more pictures come to mind. Then I spotted a giant black snake moving in the starry sky. There is no difference between the infinite dark space and the snake's skin color.
It's pure pitch black. If not for the snake's movement, I wouldn't have identified it. Quickly, another scene appeared. I see the nearby meteor streams were affected by the snake's presence.
Wherever the snake passes, the surrounding meteors and stars crumbled into pieces. It was not even an intentional attack, the ancient snake's power passively affected the environment.
The pressure was so great that no object gets near the snake in one piece. Suddenly, my thoughts became clear. And only one word comes to mind, "Gravity"
The ancient snake had gravity powers. But it's not similar to mind. The snake's power looked natural and appeared to be a higher form of Gravity Magic.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the passive working of gravity magic. Before I could think further, the pictures were crumbling into pieces.
The next moment, I feel heart-wrenching pain. I realized I was in a state of breaking through. I operated the Gravity Ark Mental Method to absorb the gravity magic.
Suddenly, changes take place inside my body. The gravity powers of the snake blood began to assimilate. Instead of settling inside the mana core, the new gravity powers absorbed by physique.
Then a look of understanding dawned upon me. The ancient snake's gravity magic is not suitable for my mana core. My mana core has pure gravity mana particles.
If the two powers were mixed, then it might cause irreversible changes. It's a greater risk. So I'm glad that the ancient snake's power absorbed my physique.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
Click!
I don't know how long it has been. But I feel the barrier has been broken completely. The next moment, I feel the rapid improvements taking place.
"Level-4," I uttered with joy.
Suddenly my thoughts became clearer and I returned to reality. I got escaped from the control of the ancient snake.
I don't what happened exactly. But my current thoughts were all about the new level. I immediately checked my mana core.
The thumb-size mana core inside the mana core space has become thickened and refined. And the golden luster over the surface of the mana core is more visible.
Not only the mana core but the golden runes marked on the walls of the mana space region is more thickened. The aura of sacredness is getting richened.
By this time, I got relief from the heart-wrenching pain.
When I shifted my attention to the inner organs and bones. I see an improvement in inner organs and bones. They are all lot strengthened than before.
It is not because of reaching level-4 from level-3. I also think the ancient snake's gravity power has some hand in it. But due to my limited knowledge. I couldn't able to discern clearly.
Then I opened my eyes. A terrible smell attacked my nose. I see black impurities all over my body. Stepping into level-4 from level-3 is a huge leap in quality.
I immediately removed the impurities using cleansing items. When I looked outside, I see some kind of formation was laid out. I knew it was Senior Gilbert's hand.
Then I shifted my attention back to the new wizard limit.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

[Title: Lord of the Gregor Mansion.]

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. Seeing that the status panel is working right, I sighed in relief. Before breaking through, the power attributes were shown in 100.
I was worried. But now seeing the normal-looking status, a hint of relief flashes in my eyes. This system version sure has some bugs.
Now that I have stepped into level-4, the power attributes crossed the 300 limits, which is the correct indication. I hope similar bugs won't appear again.
Then I slowly began to go through the details. I want to see the effects of the ancient snake blood.
I see the gravity core showing lvl.4. After seeing no problem, then I shifted my gaze toward the talent. The talent has not improved.
After witnessing such a gigantic ancient snake in the picture. I thought that the ancient snake's blood is similar to the Super Relic Treasure.
But it's a pity, that talent was not upgraded. Suddenly, a terrible idea strikes my mind. Already many people are wondering about my talent.
There is no way to reach level-4 with my actual talent of mine. If people were aware of my breakthrough, then it will rise a lot of eyebrows.
I can't simply come up with a logical reason to answer them. The existence of Super Relic is regarded as a myth all over our world.
So the only way to close their mouth is to put every credit on the ancient green snake's blood. Thinking about the plan, my mouth curved into an arc.
I feel a huge weight being lifted off my shoulder. The issue of my talent has bugged me ever since I joined the special class.
The more I shine the more people would scrutiny me. I don't want to give them any chance. Then I shifted my gaze toward the power attributes: Strength (302), Speed (304), Stamina (306), and Vitality (307).
My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Feeling the improvement in physique, the earlier gloominess in my heart was completely swept away.
Last time, I defeated Clifton Cox and earned a name for my Sub-Taboo Hall. But nobody knows what happened. I defeated him using upgraded gravity magic.
If would have most miserably, if it was pure body confrontation.
Thanks to the breakthrough, I got some sense of security. Now I can handle level-3 wizards without having to resort to gravity magic.
Next, I see four mystery attributes. Intelligence, Soul Power, Mental Power, and Constitution. All of them reached the level-4 limit.
I don't know the relation between the constitution and the Sacred Gravity Physique. Again my limited knowledge becomes a hurdle. Sooner or later, I should uncover the secrets.
I wasn't surprised by the Sacred Gravity Physique's improvement. When the ancient snake's gravity power disappeared into my physique. I knew my physique is going to be improved.
But the thing under the Gravity Sacred Physique attracted my attention. What is this 1%? I raised my eyebrows in confusion. The words are not clear. Is this bug or what?
"System, what is this unclear name?" I asked the system.
[Ding! The System version is low to decipher the name.]
[Ding! The host is advised to update the system version ASAP.]
Right after the mechanical voice gave answers. "Version is low?" I mumbled under my breath. It was already a miracle to come across the Gregor Mansion.
If not I wouldn't have to stumble across the opportunity to upgrade the system. Shaking my head, I set my gaze on the spells. The spell slot increases by 3. Now I can learn up to 6 new spells.
After closing the status panel, I got up from the ground. When I moved, the small rocks on the ground crumbled into pieces.
Seeing the familiar scene, a look of disbelief appeared on my face. The small rocks were similar to pebbles. If not been careful, I would have missed the details.
To verify, I moved again. When I took new steps forward. I see small rocks getting pulverized again.
After confirming the scene with my eyes, I couldn't help but remember the ancient pictures. Where the giant ancient snake's movement had caused surroundings meteors and planets to go to ashes.
Suddenly, something strikes my mind. The unclear name in the status panel might have something to do with this. The 1% of power meant something. Maybe it's the passive gravity power of the snake. But I'm not entirely sure.
