Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 378: Part 2: A special mission

From MCʼs perspective:

The aircraft is moving toward the destination. Inside the cabin, I finally set my gaze on the special mission. I started to go through the description.

The task is to investigate the collapsed mine. Surprisingly, the mine used to produce mid-grade mana stones. After decades of mining, that place was completely squandered. There was nothing left there.

A hint of doubt flashes in my eyes. If there is no one out there, then what is the mission all about? On one hand, I knew it was a trap set for me. But at the same, the special mission is real, it canʼt be faked.

The academy wonʼt allow anyone to misuse their mission. But my situation was met with such a coincidence. Such that I had no other choice other than to accept the mission quietly.

After going through the mission details once again. I calmed down. It will be a matter of time before I reach the location. Then everything becomes clear by then.

Pushing down these thoughts, I felt some vibration. I instantly thought about my new passive ability. When I looked down I saw a small dent in the metal sheets. It was so minute unless one observes one could miss the details.

After knowing that my passive gravity pressure affected the surroundings a wry smile appeared on my face. The starry sky ancient snakeʼs passive ability was cool and overpowered.

But right now it certainly makes my life difficult. Then shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts and waited for the aircraft to reach the destination.

Meanwhile,

”Ha...Ha...Ha....,” The bloodline wizard Ko burst into laughter.

He received confirmation from the elder a few moments ago. That gravity brat has left the academy for a special mission. Now he has another opportunity to fulfill the task.

This time he is not alone. He is with the green-haired wizard.

Then Ko revealed the news to him. The green-haired wizard was glad that their trouble was gone.

”So, what are you going to do now?” The green-haired wizard asked.

Koʼs thoughts returned to reality. His face becomes solemn again. He doesnʼt know how the elder has managed to assign a special mission to that gravity brat.

Now that the kid went on a mission. He has no other choice other than to complete his part.

He replied, ”Iʼm going.”

The green-haired wizard was stunned. He hurriedly spoke. ”Are you crazy?”

”Gilbert is still here. If your whereabouts are exposed then no one will save you,” The green-haired wizard added further.

Koʼs snake pupil flickered with a cold glint. He shook his head, ”Itʼs my 2nd chance. If I miss this opportunity then I will be forever behind Gilbert Reese.”

”What do you mean?” The green-haired wizard asked. He was flustered a little.

Turning toward him, Ko revealed some news to him.

”Gilbert is going to break through,” The green-haired wizard uttered in total shock. Then looking at Ko, he finally understood something in his heart.

”No wonder Ko failed to get the ancient blood back,” He said in his heart.

Then after giving some instructions to the green-haired wizard the bloodline wizard Ko left the bloodline hall. He then walked out of the academy without alerting anyone.

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

Meanwhile, the aircraft landed at the border area. After dropping me off, the aircraft left back to the academy.

If requested, the aircraft would come here again three days later.

Standing on the ground, I observed the vast bush plains. There was no sign of regular humans here. Usually, the labor works were done by regular humans.

Since the mine was exploited completely. This place looks barren. After signing, I start to look at the map.

The mine was located a few distances away from me. It was an underground mine. After closing the map, I walk toward the location.

Iʼm not worried about anything. Since I have a system, I can hide inside the Gregor mansion in case of emergency. On top of it, the system would warn me in presence of a threat.

Above all, I have trust in my overpowered magic of mine. If fully used, the OP gravity magic can cause damage to the level-5 wizard. Iʼm even confident that I can slip away from the hands of level-6 wizards easily.

A few minutes later,

I reached the location. The man-made signs were visible on the ground. I saw a wide hole in the ground which was enough to allow a single aircraft to go inside.

There were many broken wooden huts surrounding this place. It must have been a resting place for regular humans.

I donʼt know how long it has been since the place was abandoned. Everything looks run down here.

Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts. For safety reasons, I wore a magic cloak gifted by Senior Gilbert before coming here.

It will give some protection from whatever monster hiding inside the collapsed mine. Then without wasting any more time, I entered the hole.

Tud!

After landing on the ground, I looked around. The place is totally pitch black. I took some lighting gadgets and turned on the lights.

Rumble!

The bright lightʼs appearance immediately caused some movements inside the cave mine.

”They want me to investigate this place. Which means there is a certain possibility for the existence of some presence here, ”I mumbled under my breath.

Then I slowly entered inside.

Rumble!

My passive gravity pressure affects nearby rocks as I walk on. Seeing that, a bitter smile appeared on my face.

Even if I want to walk silently without alerting anyone, it seems impossible. My passive ability will alert the enemy for sure.

As I moved forward the path appeared to be straight and narrow. After a few minutes of walking, I felt something was wrong.

”System, probe the targetʼs details,” I said to the system.

[Ding! The Hostʼs voice is recognized.]

[Ding! The command is executed.]

[System: No target was found.]

A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. Nothing is there. Then where do I get this uneasy feeling from?

Then pushing down the unnecessary thoughts. I continued to walk further. The ground path is uneven and rocky. Suddenly, I saw something from the corner of my eye.

Something is moving in the dark similar to my size.

”System, probe the targetʼs details,” I Instructed the system mind.

[Ding! Hostʼs command is recognized.]

[Ding! The command is executed.]

[Status Panel]

[Targetʼs Name: Cave Spider]

[Order: 3rd order intermediate level]

[Strength: 254]

[Vitality: 256]

[Speed: 253]

[Stamina: 257]

[Skill: Venom bite, poison, toxic web]

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. Seeing the name cave spider. A look of understanding dawned upon me.

The abandoned mine can be without any monsters. Itʼs been so long, itʼs normal for this place to be occupied by evil monsters.

Then without alerting the spider monster. I stood in the same spot. The cave spider didnʼt feel my presence. It went deep into the cave.

Seeing the monster disappearing, a bad premonition appeared in my heart. I became hesitant for a moment.

I donʼt think there is only one cave monster living inside the mine. What to do? Should I go back and report?

A trace of struggle appeared in my eyes. Iʼm afraid of colonies. I donʼt want to waste my mana reserve here.

Then after some contemplation, I decided to investigate further. The cave structure is not uniform. The rocks are broken. I donʼt know in which direction the cave spider went.

I picked up one of the gaps and entered inside.

Meanwhile,

The bloodline wizard Ko appeared outside of the mine.

”So this is the collapsed mine,” Ko wore a condescending look on his face. The place looks so barren and desolate.

”Let this place be a burial site for this kid,” After saying that Ko entered the mine as well.

He came here alone in order not to attract attention. On top of it, he wants to complete the task before Gilbert Reese arrives.

After entering inside, his snake bloodline immediately alerts him of some kind of threat.

”Bizarre,” He uttered in surprise. He knows his bloodline sense is accurate. If he feels certain danger here, then it must be true.

”Whatʼs with this place?” His expression turned ugly. He knew the special task was accompanied by some dangers.

But he still underestimated the danger. If not for the ancient blood, he wouldnʼt have involved himself with unknown danger.

Then thinking about the importance of the ancient blood and the threat from his superior he gritted his teeth and continued to enter inside.

As he walks deep inside the cave mine. His bloodline feels a great threat. He is a level-6 True House Wizard. Apart from level-6 and above existence, no one could pose a threat to him.

Because of it, he was slightly flustered.

Meanwhile,

As I followed the new path, I came across many cave spiders. But the narrow path seems to go endlessly. I finally started to feel Iʼm being reckless.

There is no need to encounter the spider colonies. I can report it back to the academy. Let them send a formidable wizard to clear out this place.
