Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 526: Part 1: Plant-type relic

Swamp:

Carolina Slate opened the path by using her thorny vines. She doesnʼt want to leave right now. Because the mission was not completed yet.

There is something about the rapid growth rate of the monsters. Even if she walks out now, the number of monsters can grow back.

So without eliminating the root cause. She doesnʼt want to leave.

”What is that?” She muttered.

She is staring at the plant cage formation. Something is glowing inside the cage. Which immediately caught her attention.

Carolina quickly realized. It must be the root cause. But to enter the cage, she has to break the formation.

Her mana has reached rock bottom. But she was not without choice. There is one more spell that she hasnʼt tried out yet.

The next moment, her thorny vines join together and collide with the plant cage.

Boom~

A terrible sound resonated in the area. The vines break apart, leaving a small narrow opening.

Seeing that Carolina quickly enters inside the gap. The gap in the formation quickly recovered and closed itself.

Suddenly, the attack outside is stopped. The 5th-order monsters entangled in the formation let out an eerie sound.

Carolina didnʼt retract her thorny vines. She was surprised by the quiet atmosphere here. Then her attention turned to the glowy item on the ground.

”What is that?” She uttered in surprise.

Rustle~

When she walks closer to the item. A sense of danger alarmed her. She abruptly stopped her movements before looking at the ground.

The glowing circular object was surrounded by several roots and vines of the plant monster. But none of the roots and vines dared to near the glowing object.

Seeing such a scene, she quickly became interested. When she started paying close attention.

She saw unknown energy being released from the glowing object. That energy was quickly absorbed by the surrounding vines.

After figuring it out, she realized this might be the reason for the rapid increase in monster numbers.

Out of curiosity, she raised her palms. The vines released from her palms start to approach the glowing object.

When the vines got closer. The surrounding vines and roots became restless.

Rustle~

The 5th-order plant monsters are unable to untie them. The monsterʼs body parts are entangled with one another. They can only send out their vines and roots to absorb the unknown energy from the glowing object.

Right now, another competitor appears. The surrounding monsters became restless because of that.

”Uh?” Carolina widened her eyes in surprise. Her vines absorbed the small part of the energy released from the glowing object.

The next moment, she felt a throbbing sense from her mana core.

She realizes her mana core is yearning for energy. Her heart set off storms. For the first time in her life, she is experiencing something like this.

There is one thing that could move a wizard like this. ”Itʼs a relic,” She is shocked to the core. The relics are rare treasures in this world.

Encountering such items depends on chance.

If the relic news was released, then the entire capital city would be alarmed. She was glad that Henry Barlow retreated at the last moment.

She didnʼt even request her help. Now she feels she has made the right decision. She showed some patience.

Because of that, she was able to encounter these items. Her heart rate starts to beat faster.

Whatʼs more shocking is that the relic items are compatible with her awakened magic. Otherwise, the mana core wonʼt show any reaction.

Carolina calmed her down. This relic canʼt be taken outside. If the news is leaked, she would encounter even more danger.

Looking around, she thought the cage formed by the plant monsters was a natural safe spot. She can absorb the relic right here.

She doesnʼt know what will happen to her magic. But she is sure of one thing that she will become stronger.

Magic relics are known for that. They gift wizards with unparalleled power. She has heard about it from history texts before. Now she canʼt wait to absorb the relic.

Swoosh~

She releases even more thorny vines from her palm. Her vines quickly covered the glowing object. She has an advantage over other plant monsters.

The next moment, she cast the magic spell. Her vines start to suck the unknowing energy from the relic. Normally she would use this spell to suck the vitality of the monster.

But here the spell was used on the relic item. And the result was better than she thought. All the unknown energies are entering her body.

She can feel the natural attraction from the mana core.

Shake~

At the same time, the whole plant cage starts to shake. The monsters are disturbed by the outsider stealing their treasure.

For so many days, the plant monsters are evolving because of those items. So a sudden cut off from the energy made the monsters restless.

So their vines and roots on the ground quickly turned to the intruder.

Carolinaʼs eyes flickered. She wasnʼt surprised by the changes. She knows that these monsters wonʼt let her absorb the energy.

Part of her vines quickly covered her body forming a defensive shield. At this moment she can only defend herself.

Her entire attention is focused on absorbing the energy. Which would take some time. Until then, she has to hold on.

Meanwhile,

Tony Burnett was taking a nap inside the aircraft.

[Someone is approaching the place.]

Suddenly the notification voice woke him up. Tony Burnett quickly steps out of the aircraft and lands on the ground.

”Looks like the time has come,” Tonyʼs mouth curved into an arc. He is going to make Henry Barlow a scapegoat.

Then he canʼt wait to see the reaction of the Sub-Taboo Hall. Especially he wants to see how Vincent Carey would react.

A couple of seconds later,

Henry Barlow steps out of the bushes with a downcast expression. He has emptied the mana reserve to reach here.

On the way, he was attacked by many insect monsters. Which made him consume the remaining mana.
