Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

From MC’s perspective:

I feel strange energy inside my body. After reaching the level-5 stage, the wizard gains flight ability. Because here after the real wizardry path starts.

Level-4 was a watershed. Wizards below the level are considered lower-level wizards. And they are not much valued by wizardry society.

Level-5, Level-6, and above are in different leagues. They hold the top position in organizations. After calming down, I try to use my flight ability.

The strange energy has something to do with flight ability. When I was willing to fly, my feet rose from the ground. It becomes instinctive.

My face reveals a cold smile. The flight ability has awakened at the right time. Now I can reach Aten City faster.

On the way, I made up my mind to train in flight ability as well.

I slowly rose from the ground and willed to move forward. The next second, my body staggered in mid-air.

Looks like to fly, I need to have good control over my body.

The next second, I tried to move forward slowly. And this time I avoided the stumble.

One hour later,

I almost familiarized myself with flight ability. I’m not an expert but I can certainly move in mid-air than running on the ground.

Time passed,

After several hours of moving in mid-air. I reached the area close to the destination. Before entering the area, I landed on the ground.

Because this area is considered a check post. I already felt a gloomy air coming from this direction standing in mid-air a while ago.

Does the gloomy atmosphere have something to do with the evil magic? A strange question appeared in my heart.

Then pushing down these thoughts, I decided to check the post. There is a possibility of powerful guards stationed up here. And also the enemy from the dark league is hiding here.

When I thought about dark league members. My heart turned cold. My heart won’t be at ease until I kill their high-level member in a gruesome manner.

After gaining some clarity, I started to move through this dense forest. This dense forest is providing a good cover for me. It’s hard to find me in this dense area.

After passing through the complex terrain. I finally see some ending to this dense forest. Which means the check post is beyond this terrain.

I adjusted my black mask and calmed down my inner thoughts. Hereafter, there will be a fight. And I have to be careful encountering old wizards.

Then I slowly began to walk toward the spot. My magic cloak is providing protection. So no one can sense my presence.

After several minutes, I see the greenery begin to decrease. Because the land area ahead is affected by evil magic. So no grass can be found there.

I furrowed my eyebrows. I thought Aten City would be covered with grown-up weeds and trees. Since the area was abandoned a long time ago. I was expecting to see an area like a mystic ruin.

But what I’m seeing ahead is completely different. There is a watch tower ahead of me. I can vaguely see the area behind the watchtower.

After breakthroughs, my senses are upgraded as well. The area beyond the watch tower appears to be a barren land.

I stopped my movement and began to access the map. A holographic map appeared. And I see my current location which is marked with a red dot on the map.

And the “X” marked area is the destination.

When I was looking at the map. I heard small movements ahead. Hearing that, I closed the map and looked at the watchtower.

People wearing black walk out of the tower. I immediately recognized the attire. They are wearing the same dress as dark-league men.

How many of them come here to kill me?

Looks like it’s a big operation. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. The dark league failed to kill me back in my hometown. One of their level-6 wizards got captured when he tried to kill me while entering the Capital City.

I heard a rumor that they even caused some ruckus during the Central Auction. Now seeing their operation, I feel they are casting a giant net to trap me.

They want to kill me before I enter Aten City. I sneered inside.

The next moment, I tightened my fist. Now that I have reached level-5, there is no need to leave these bugs alive. A cruel glint flashes in my eyes.

Swish~

I rose from the ground and rushed to the top of the tower.

Air-breaking sounds can be heard clearly.

The guys wearing black dresses got alarmed.

“Gravity Blast” I cast consecutive spells within seconds.

A powerful beam shot at the wicked wizard. When the energy collided with them.

Boom~

Their bodies exploded without leaving any traces behind.

In a blink of an eye, the five people standing outside were erased in no time.

Tud!

I landed in front of the top door in the watchtower. I see no threat signal from the system. So I kicked open the door to enter inside.

After walking inside, I saw a simple wooden table and chair and I spotted a corpse lying in the corner.

“He must be a tower guard,” I said to myself.

What are these guys planning? Do they intend to occupy all four watchtowers? I got a bad feeling about this.

To kill me they even dare to intervene in government movements. Now the guard has been killed. The situation won’t end simple.

The wizards from the government will investigate this killing. I touched my chin and started to think.

The best-case scenario would be to erase everything including the corpse of the tower guard. His killing would lead to the dark league and eventually, it could come and bite me in the end.

I don’t want such a thing to happen. After gaining some clarity, I put the corpse in my Gregor Mansion. The corpse of the dark league pawns exploded beyond any recognition.

Then I shifted my attention toward the things in this room. I want to see whether anything is valuable.

Then I see a register book on the table. I picked it up and flipped the pages to read. The first thing that caught my attention was the daily logging.

The tower guard has written a daily sighting. Looks like his job is not simply to stand inside the tower. From the words written here, he seems to have investigated the places daily.

[02. O3.####: Spotted a bone skeleton near the windmill area.]

[22.03.####: Killed an evil corpse soldier near the windmill area.]

[28.03.####: Support has arrived from the new capital. But they couldn’t clean up the entire area.]

[30.03.####: Evil things manifested from the infested region have been sighted at the Eastern WatchTower.]

After reading the logs, I suddenly realized something. The infested region mentioned in the log book is the actual core area.

So the Tower guard has been keeping these evil things from going out. But the Tower guard is a level-4 Wizard.

His power was not enough to completely solve the situation. Even the assistance from new capital had failed to solve the issue.

No wonder the city government turned to the academy for help.

After gaining some clarity, I decided to visit the windmill area. Which is close to the watchtower. Should I leave the logbook here?

Then shaking my head, I stored the book in the system space. After carefully observing the room for one more time, I left the place.

After leaving the watchtower, I head toward the east direction. The windmill is located on the eastern side.

While moving in mid-air. I see the situation on the ground. The land is completely barren without any green patch on it. Even the ground appears to be slightly black.

“Black soil,” I said in my heart. I’m just moving right now to the outskirts. I have to be cautious hereafter.

Shortly after, I spotted a broken wind blade from a distance. Seeing that, I didn’t rush to the spot. I stopped in mid-air and my eyes immediately scanned the surroundings.

Because the ground is pitch black. If not for the log book, I would have thought something different.

But I know the black soil is not the natural one. I don’t know whether it’s okay to touch my feet on the ground.

From the log book, I know that the bone skeleton was spotted here a few weeks ago.

Where does it come from? I set my gaze on the dilapidated wooden buildings. I see no trace of the magic present here.

Unknowingly, I have started doing the mission.

This area is on outskirts of the Aten City. And what lies there at the heart of Aten City? At first, I thought the mission would be simple.

But I have a vague feeling that the city government is hiding something. They should have revealed everything to the academy.

Then the mission would have been rated as a special mission.
