Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Dragon City, Treasure Pavilion:

As time passed, several rogue wizards started to enter the pavilion building in great numbers. Whoever was behind the scene was clearly after something.

But unfortunately, three old men from the pavilion were pushed to the back foot side. They were blocked by the three level-5 rogue wizards.

Even the appearance of one more wizard will cause further damage. The white-bearded old man's eyes flickered with a slight glint.

This situation can't continue further. Three of them failed to gauge the unknown enemy's bottom line. Considering the fact they are outnumbered.

The white-bearded old man decided to do something. The thing was supposed to be used in the worst-case scenario. But If he chooses to delay it anymore, the consequence would be disastrous.

Meanwhile, at an isolated place located outside of the Dragon City border. Inside a wooden hut, an old wizard is experimenting on human corpses.

Looking at the rotten costume of the corpses, it's visible that the attire belongs to the Royal City Guards of the Dragon City.

Suddenly the old wizard put the instruments aside and walked back to a nearby room to contact someone.

The person is none other than an evil wizard behind the scenes who is currently attacking the Treasure Pavilion.

When the communication was established. While looking at his watch, the old wizard asked in a deep voice, "Have you got that thing?'

After a few seconds, a voice that was neither a completely male nor female voice replied, "No, the puppets who went to the treasure vault were all dead."

For a moment there was an eerie silence. The old wizard knows about the three higher-ups of the Pavilion. Then who else could neutralize those puppets?

He knew his client had bribed off the authorities. So there will be no one from the government interfering at this moment.

Even bribing can't buy an entire night time for their operation. Soon the authorities will come. If they find out the abnormality of the souls, then their background would be exposed.

"Failure," His eyes flickered with a cold glint.

"Call off the mission," the old wizard said in a deep voice. After ending the call, he muttered to himself, "Who could be?"

His client requested to retrieve an important object from the vaults of the Treasure Pavilion. But unfortunately, he had underestimated the means of the Treasure Pavilion.

Then he removed the thoughts from his mind and moved back to the experiment room.

...

From MC's Perspective:

Inside the underground chamber, piled-up corpses can be seen everywhere. Sean and Pete burnt out completely. They have exhausted their mana reserve.

Right now, they are barely holding on. Seeing that my mouth curves into an arc. Compared to the situation an hour ago, their demeanor has completely changed.

There were no more disdained full gazes. Shaking my head, I looked toward the entrance. I have killed most of the rogue wizards. But there was no sign of stopping them.

Which shows that the Pavilion guards were lost. And we were the remaining ones defending the vault. Looking at one particular locked room, a quick glint flashes in my eyes.

All the rogue wizards were targeting this one particular room. Which shows that something valuable is stored there. What could be the item?

"Super relic?" A thought comes to mind. But I shook my head in denial. I know how rare the super relic is. If such an item exists then the whole dragon city would be turned upside down.

Even the old powerhouses won't hesitate to come here. Sighing, I gazed at the entrance. I don't know what happened outside. But the rogue wizards stopped coming.

It gave me some relaxation time. Suddenly, I noticed the gazes of Sean Horton and Pete Brown. Both of them looked at me in a daze.

I can see the hint of fear in their eyes. But I choose not to respond. All I want is to go back to the academy after mission completion.

Then after taking a glance back at them, I returned to my position. My mind is full of secret items hiding in the vault. But suddenly I realized too much curiosity is not good for me.

The wizard behind the scene is extremely terrifying. Looking at the means of enslaving the living soul shocked me to the core.

Such an enemy is beyond my current level. Then after pushing these thoughts behind me. A trace of clarity appeared in my eyes.

On the other hand, three higher-ups from the Pavilion spotted the retreating scene of rogue wizards on the ground.

Such a scene caught them by surprise. "What happened?" White-bearded old man's eyes lit up with surprise.

It feels unreal for a moment. Before he could think of further, the three level-5 rogue wizards who were obstructing them suddenly retreated in a blink of an eye.

Such a scene left three of them stunned.

"Could someone tell me what has happened?" The old man with rimmed glasses said in disbelief.

The third old man sighed in relief.

Meanwhile, the wizard behind the scenes called off the mission with a regretful face. He disappeared along with the puppets. Within a few minutes, no trace of them can be seen at the Treasure Pavilion.

After a few minutes, the three higher-ups realized that the rogue wizards had left. Then they immediately called for medical support.

The white-bearded old man looked toward the center of the city with a cold gaze. He knows someone will soon come here to inquire about their situation.

"Hateful," He muttered to himself. But in his heart, he can't wait to find out the person behind the scenes.

At this time, an old man with rimmed glasses said, "We should check the chamber. I don't know what happened to the academy wizards."

Then three of them immediately moved toward the underground chamber.

Meanwhile, Sean and Pete got up from the ground, seeing that there was no more wave of rogue wizards.

Both looked haggard and had suffered superficial injuries on their bodies.

"What kind of wizard are you?" Pete mustered up his courage and asked out with a solemn expression on his face.

The scenes of Vincent's instant kills come before his eyes. Not one or two, Vincent has killed more than 10 rogue wizards. All of them were in level-4.

Sean Horton also finds it incomprehensible. He comes from the Weapon Palace. He knows how hard it is for the wizard to fight across the ranks. In his opinion, only the Power Wizards are blessed with such ability.

"Hmmm," I raised my eyebrows in surprise. He took the initiative to speak to me. But I realized the earlier scenes must have given him too much surprise.

Before I could think, I heard the sounds of footsteps.

Swish!

The three old men appeared in front of us all of a sudden.

Seeing that Sean and Pete turned toward them.

The white-bearded old man immediately gauged the details. But after seeing the piled-up corpses, a hint of surprise flashes in his eyes.

Even the old man with rimmed glasses got a wide smile on his face. Before coming here, they had made up their mind to witness the worst.

But after seeing the situation here it completely overturned their view. The white-bearded old man ignored Vincent and looked toward Pete and Sean.

The white-bearded old man misunderstood something. From Vincent's unscathed appearance, he thought Vincent didn't fight at all.

Rather he misunderstood, looking at torn clothes of Sean and Pete that they had taken all the brunt of the rogue wizards.

But the motive of the rogue wizard is unclear. So he asked, "What happened here?"

Pete and Sean smiled wryly. They knew the Treasure Pavilion Superiors misunderstood something. Sean Horton took the initiative to explain everything.

Meanwhile, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I was not surprised by the situation. Who would believe that a level-3 wizard has killed several level-4 wizards?

If I reveal my sub-taboo, then they will understand. But I don't want to do that. Then I see the three old men turn toward me with shocked expressions on their faces.

Seeing that, I asked, "Is the mission over?" The most worrying thing is the unknown enemy. I don't know if the enemy of the Treasure Pavilion will appear again.

So I should leave as soon as possible.

The white-bearded old man was stunned to hear the words. He wanted to thank the young wizard. But after hearing Vincent's questions. He remembered the details about the guard mission they had published earlier.

After thinking about it, the white-bearded old man let out a deep sigh. Everything went beyond their belief. They had not expected the wave of the level-4 wizard and three level-5 wizards.

The white-bearded old man knew it was a miracle for three wizards to survive. Seeing them he realized, three of them might be important figures.

Otherwise, their strength can't be explained. Especially looking at Vincent, he is even more sure that the level-3 wizard is not an ordinary person. At this moment, he made up his mind to compensate three of them.
