Chapter 962: Black Weirdness
From MC's Perspective;
Old ruin,
The Spider Monster left the place after sometime. It felt that the prey had escaped.
Seeing that I waited for sometime before appearing outside.
Then I looked around before walking deep inside the hall. Along the way, I saw many skeletons leaning against the wall.
Some of their clothes are intact. Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
"It must be a high grade magic robe," I said in my heart.
Then I quickly walked the skeleton to check it. I saw several scratch marks on the robe. They must have fought against the monsters.
I started checking the robe. Then I found a black color token from the robe. Was it an identity token? I don't know what it is? So I put it inside my storage bracelet.
Then I started to check other corpses as well. I found tattered books and damaged scrolls. After putting it inside the system space, I reached the end of the hall.
Then I saw that the 7th order Black Spider is resting. My heart wants to cast the spell. But I controlled my impulse at the last moment.
The Black Spider has been using this place as a lair for a long time. I don't want to destroy the building. I appeared outside a few minutes later.
I thought that dangerous places have opportunities. But original opportunities are long since robbed. Shaking my head, I took the map out again and started looking for another place.
It will be night time in a few hours. I think the old ruins will be a safe place to spend the night time. Then I looked around the place. There are rare herbs and plants growing around this area.
It's a paradise land for the potion makers and plant type wizards. But I'm a taboo wizard. For me those forbidden ancient battlefields are good places.
Here, I can't make use of this treasure land except for some opportunities like the Blood Sucking Flower and the condensed white mana liquid.
After gaining some clarity, I entered the ruin after finding a secluded room. I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion.
Time passed,
When it was night time. The monster's activities in the surroundings have increased. Even the Black Spider chose to hide this time.
At midnight, a black ominous aura covered the whole ruin.
A group of wolf monsters have entered the ruin. The wolf monsters are larger in size compared to a popular species. The Black aura surrounding it is making it more evil.
Inside the Gregor Mansion, my expression turned solemn. I didn't expect to see such a good scene at night.
"Strange monsters are appearing at night. What about them?" I said in my heart.
The next second, I wondered if the same thing was happening everywhere. Then there is going to be a blood bath tonight.
Meanwhile,
The team belongs to different forces have started encountering the difficulties. They had problem in finding good shelters.
Some of them did find some shelter after loss of manpower.
But the appearance strange black monsters made them scared. Because these ominous black smoke is corroding the wizards whenever they come in contact with the Black Smoke.
The Wind Elemental Wizards in the groups trying their best to keep the black smoke away. But the black smoke coming from the monster. Wherever it goes the black smoke goes.
"Damn, what is that?"
"We seemed to encounter something bad"
"Only rare and unique wizards can have a solution for this."
"Retreat, find a safe place to hide."
"Don't come until next morning"
People are scattered. They can't face this weirdness with their magic power.
Meanwhile,
The same commotion is happening everywhere.
"6th Young Master Ren, Don't leave the protector side," the 17th elder said.
Hearing that Ren nodded his head. Everyone is using their flight ability to stay in the mid air. Those who want to challenge the weirdness are getting corroded.
Seeing the death, Ren's face turned ugly. The loss of manpower is not good. They have yet to explore the whole mountain range.
They had collected only rare herbs so far. Which is not useful to him.
The other hand, the 17th elder and others are angry as well. Even with their level-7 magic power, they don't want to touch the unknown.
Time passed,
The Black weirdness continued to plague the place until morning. When the daylight hits, it falls on this place. The Black Weirdness and the monsters returned to their place.
It happened in all other places. Seeing that group continued their exploration of the mountain.
Old ruin:
After getting ready, I appeared outside. Seeing that place has no trace of black weirdness. I revealed a helpless smile. Even the Black Spider Monster hasn't come out yet.
"Maybe the real forbidden is the black weirdness," My eyes flickered.
I feel it's better to leave this place and go to the core area. Then only I can find a way to reach the border and enter the small nation next to the Silent Forest.
The distance is long. But If I had a Crystall Class Airship, then the trip would be something.
After removing the unnecessary thoughts, I checked the old map again. I memorized the route to the core area.
There is a shortcut available to go down the mountain. But thereafter, it would be uncharted territory.
After figuring it out, I have decided to take a risk.
Then I put the map back in the system space before flying towards the destination in the mid air.
While flying over the simple green field. I couldn't compare it with yesterday's terror.
One hour later,
I followed the short cut route and saved a lot of time. In a few hours, I might reach the other end of the mountain.
"Wait?"
"Someone is coming in our direction"
"Stop him"
"Don't let him go"
Shortly after,
Many silhouettes blocked my route. Looking at their attire. I realized they are adventurers and rogue wizards. To think they have reached this far. I felt surprised in my heart.
