Chapter 423 Weird Bone Skeletons
From MC's Perspective:
While I was hesitating to go down there to investigate? From the dilapidated house, the noise came out all of a sudden.
A quick glint flashes in my eyes. Though the black ground looks suspicious. I can always use the Gregor Mansion to hide inside.
After gaining some clarity, I slowly descend to the ground. When my feet touched the ground. I feel an ominous vibe from it. This feeling was lighter but I know it's connected to evil magic.
Then I calmed down my heart before walking to the run-down wooden house. There was an unspoken and eerie silence around me. To think the tower guards are monitoring the place day and night.
I'm certain that they all must have been scared sh!t.
I raised my head and looked at the wooden door.
The traces of fighting are all over the place. In front of me, there is a broken boot. When I saw the appearance, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
Because the boot appears to be brand new. Maybe one of the wizards left it here during the fighting.
Then I walked inside the room where the noise was coming from. When I turned around to see. Something caught my attention which made me stand still.
A skeleton with its heart area got pierced by a black dagger. Looking at the skeleton, the first thing that came to my mind was the fallen wizard.
[Ding! Warning!]
[The trace of evil magic is detected.]
[Evil Magic Source: Black Ritual Dagger.]
But the next second the system warned me with information. When the mechanical words sounded in my mind. I feel goosebumps all over my body.
I took one step backward from the spot. My gaze was set on the black dagger. "I almost fell into a trap," I said in my heart.
"Gravity Blast," I cast a spell targeting the skeleton.
A wisp of magic released from my finger and shot at the target at breakneck speed.
I suddenly realized something. It was written in a log book that a bone skeleton was found here. If my assumption is correct, I fear that the bone skeleton is here.
Boom~
The bone skeleton exploded into pieces when it came in contact with the gravity magic.
Tud~
The ritual black dagger falls to the ground.
Seeing that I feel something is not right. Why the black dagger didn't disappear?
But the next moment, an amazing transformation takes place in front of my eyes. The broken bone pieces gather into one piece in a blink of an eye.
Unlike before, the bone skeleton came to life this time. It's evident from his blue flames burning in its eye socket.
"This is going to be a headache," I muttered.
"System, probe the target's details," I said to the system.

The status panel appeared before my eyes. After reading the information, I feel some kind of familiarity.
I fought against evil things before. Especially against the phantoms in the academy's Battle Tower.
After gaining some clarity, I looked at the bone skeleton. It picked up the black dagger from the ground.
Seeing that I released the spell again.
"Gravity Blast,"
The spell attack again made the bone skeleton into pieces. But unlike the phantoms inside the battle tower.
Here the evil thing is coming back to life again.
The broken pieces once again joined together. Seeing that a trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes.
Maybe this was the reason for the assistant team to fail. Now I have to find the root cause of it. Instead of hitting the snake's head, I'm fighting against the tail.
"Swish"
I disappeared from the spot and appeared back outside in mid-air.
But the next scene made my cognition turn around.
Now the windmill area is filled with bone skeletons. Each has a ritual dagger in their hand.
"It ain't a normal mission," I mumbled under my breath.
This is something new to me. Even if I destroy all those things under me, they will reappear in a matter of seconds.
I made an important decision at this moment.
I won't fight against these things while having my back open. I'm certain the dark league wizard is here with the underlings.
I need to destroy them before completing this mission. After gaining some clarity, I flew towards the next watch tower at a low altitude.
The evil bone skeletons lose sight of me. And I think the environment would return to normal.
Several hours later,
After crossing the windmill area, I reached the next watch tower. While looking outside, I see a change in the terrain.
The area is no longer a dense green forest. The area before the watchtower is a long road having abandoned buildings on either side of the road.
If my guess is correct, this was the formal route to enter Aten City. The watch tower looks similar. But I don't know if anyone is staying inside.
I can't always stay in mid-air. It's easily noticeable. So I landed on the ground and walked to the tower.
This side of the abandoned area looked desolate.
When I got closer, I heard some noise. It's like someone's conversation. And it's coming from the top of the tower.
My eyes turned cold. Because I hear the voices of more than one person. And it's highly unlikely the voice of the tower guard.
Thanks to my black magic cloak. No one can sense my presence.
I rose from the ground and flew towards the watchtower slowly. I stood in mid-air next to the window.
But I can hear the conversation.
"What happened to Elder 6?"
"He should have returned from the patrol."
"Sigh"
"Elder 6 worried about the target's guardian."
"Unless they kill the guardian, it's difficult to keep the secrets from getting exposed."
"Elder 5 is waiting for us at the core area. He believes that the target will come there to complete the mission."
"Wait for Elder 6 to come back. We will go together."
Outside,
My heart set off storms. I was expecting some changes. To think that the dark league has sent two people after me. Looks like they want me to die that badly.
And these people seem to be working under the wizard they are referring to as Elder 6. Those guys who died under my hands might be the lackeys of Elder 5.
Elder 5 is waiting for me at the core area. Why are they called elders? Are certain bigwigs stepping down to hunt me down?
A lot of questions appeared in my mind.
Then I continued to listen to further conversation. But nothing valuable was gained.
After a few minutes, I barged into the top room.
My appearance immediately caught them off guard. But due to my black mask, they can't identify me.
"Who are you?" One of them asked.
Ignoring him, I see everyone gathered inside the room.
"Gravity Field," I said.
The tremendous gravitational force appeared all of a sudden. The wizards wearing black robes were crushed to the ground from the impact.
Crack~
Several bone-cracking sounds can be heard.
But without leaving any sound behind. All of them died gruesome death within a second. I didn't hold back this time.
Seeing their smashed corpses, I cast the gravity spell to explode them further.
After doing that, I turned around to look for the tower guard's corpse. But no sign of him can be found in this room.
Did they take care of him? A quick glint flashes in my eyes. I do not doubt that he is dead.
Then shaking my head, I decided to wait for a wizard named Elder 6. From their words earlier, I guess he will come here.
I found a wooden chair to sit down on. My eyes then caught something. "Logbook," My eyes lit up with surprise.
I hurriedly picked it up to read. But when I flip the book to see. I found the pages were torn off. A hint of disappointment flashes in my eyes.
Time passed,
After one hour, I got up from the seat. I spotted something coming in my direction. Seeing that I became battle ready.
When it got closer, I recognized the person.
"System, probe the target's details," I said to the system.
