Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 400 Part 16: Mystic Ruins



From MC's perspective:

We resumed our journey after packing the tent. While walking we kept our eye on the surroundings. It feels odd that we didn't encounter any threat so far. Not even the monsters.

The terrain was bush plain without sign of any settlements. I'm starting to get bored. I hope the trial ends soon.

While walking I'm also keeping an eye on their reactions. They appeared to be tired as well. Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.

Rumble~

When were we slowly moving forward? Changes took place all of a sudden.

"What is it now?" Eve said it with concern.

Four of us stopped our movement and looked ahead.

"An underground opening," Don said.

His words reached everyone's ears. I couldn't help but recall the cave structure. It took some difficult efforts to escape from that place. And now there is another one in front of us.

But this time there were no wicked wizards to activate the restrictions. Whatever mechanisms behind this setup. It was activated after sensing our presence.

Lara White saw the pitch-black dark opening. She asked, "Are we going inside?"

Hearing that I knitted my eyebrows. This might be the last hurdle before the trial comes to an end. Instead of wasting time roaming. I think it's better to explore this place.

Lara and others looked toward me.

I raised my head and looked at the surroundings for a moment. I just hope this is not the work of wicked wizards.

"Let's go," I said while looking at the dark entrance. Then four of us slowly walk toward the place.

When we entered inside, the lights activated instantly making the room more visible.

[Ding! Warning!]

[Ding! Monster activities were detected.]

Suddenly, the system warned me all of a sudden.

"Beware of the monsters," I said to three of them without turning back.

A hint of surprise flashes in Lara's eyes. "What's with him?" She said to herself.

Besides, Don and Eva also slowed down their movements. After Vincent's previous battle, their opinion of him greatly changed. So both raise their guard.

Creak!

A black color scorpion made its appearance.

"System, probe the target's details," I said to the system.

[Ding! The Host's voice is recognized]

[Skill: Poison stinger, Sharp pincer, Hairy Thorns.]

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. My gaze immediately fell on the level. Seeing that it's a 4th order monster.

My expression couldn't help but worsen. If we are facing a 4th order monster in the starting stage then what about the later stages?

Meanwhile, Lara White and others were stunned as well. Three of them looked at Vincent with a new light.

"I will take care of the monster," Lara said out of nowhere.

Hearing that I answered, "You shouldn't waste your mana. We might face an even higher-order monster from here."

Don asked, "What do you mean?"

Eva looked confused as well.

Only Lara seems to understand my words. Before I could reply the scorpion got closer. I pointed my finger at the monster's head and said, "Gravity Blast."

A terrifying magic shot at the monster in a blink of an eye. When the gravity magic comes in contact with the monster's head. It was blasted into pieces.

The next moment, the monster's body dropped dead on the ground. But still, some monsters' parts might be responsive. To verify, I decided to check the system.

"System, probe the target's details," I said to the system.

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. Seeing that dead zero in vitality. I let go of my guard.

Meanwhile, Don and Eva are dumbfounded by destructive magic power.

"The 4th order monster was destroyed in seconds," Don's heart set off storms.

Last time, he didn't have time to witness Vincent's fight at a close distance. But now witnessing, he became speechless.

The 4th order monster was not weak at all. This shows Vincent can defeat anyone at the same level. Unless Don looked at Lara for a moment.

In his opinion, only the Taboo wizard can contain Vincent.

Eva was shocked to the core as well. She realizes no one knows the true extent of Vincent's magic. Everyone had greatly underestimated him.

Only Lara White remains unfazed. She already knows Vincent's sub-taboo magic is a little bit different. She had seen it during the duel between Vincent and the bloodline wizard Clifton.

After killing the monster, we resumed walking. Don and Eva looked at me from time to time. I knew they must have been shocked by the gravity magic.

But I don't know what would be their reaction if they knew I fought against a Class-6 Monster.

Rumble~

Shortly after, we came across two more scorpion monsters.

"System, probe the target's details," I said to the system.

[Skill: Poison stinger, Sharp pincer, Hairy Thorns.]

After looking up the status panel. I turned toward the 2nd monster.

"System, probe the target's details," I said to the system.

[Ding! The Host's voice is recognized]

[Ding! The command is initiated %]

[Strength: 321]

[Vitality: 323]

[Speed: 325]

[Stamina: 324]

[Skill: Poison stinger, Sharp pincer, Hairy Thorns.]

After looking at the status panel. I raised my hand to cast the spell.

"Vincent, we will take care of the monster," Don Cline said before rushing toward the scorpion.

Eva also charged against the 2nd monster.

Seeing that Lara White and I stood behind causally and waited for them to finish the monster.

But looking at Lara White, a memory comes to mind. Where she warned me about Mike Curtis.

While the other two were fighting. I turned toward Lara and asked, "Who is Mike Curtis?"

Hearing that Lara blinked her beautiful eyes for a moment. Then she gave a strange look to Vincent.

She asked, "Do you not know?"

"What? Is he famous?" I raised my eyebrows in confusion.

Then a sudden realization struck my mind. Several days ago, someone from the taboo hall issued a challenge against me. It was a duel post circulated online at that time.

Because of the Special mission. I almost forgot about that post.

If my memory serves me right then the person's name is Mike Curtis as well. Don't tell me something is going on in Taboo Hall as well.

Lara White observes Vincent's reaction. Seeing that he seems to be remembered. "Looks like you remember him. Mike Curtis is my senior. He is an extremely strong taboo wizard." Lara said.

"He seems to dislike you. So be careful in the future," She added further.

"Hmmm," My mouth curved into an arc.

"Mike Curtis?" I mumbled under my breath. But I don't seem to recall any clashes with him. Then shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.

Then I shifted my attention back to the battle. The scorpion monsters were gravely injured. Don Cline's transformation magic was effective.

He has transformed his entire right arm into a crystal. Which gives him enormous strength. The monster's head was cracked half open.

"System, probe the target's details," I said to the system.

I looked up the status panel. Seeing those attributes is going to hit rock bottom. A hint of approval flashes in my eyes. It will be a matter of time before he ends the monster's life.

Then I turned my attention toward the 2nd scorpion monster. Eva Casey is also doing well. The 2nd scorpion monster was also riddled with holes.

"System, probe the target's details," I said to the system.

I nodded my head after looking at the status panel. But still, they are taking too much time.

Lara White saw Vincent's reaction. Seeing him nodding his head, a question mark appeared in her heart.

"What's with his weird behavior?" She said in her heart. She has been observing Vincent's reaction for a while. He seems to stare at space.

A few minutes later,

Both of them killed the scorpion monster and collected the crystal gems.

"We did it," Don said with a smile.

Eva drank a mana potion to recover.

Seeing them my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Both of them used too many moves to kill the monster.
