Chapter 974: Sudden Attack by the Peak Wizard
From MC's Perspective:
Late night,
Inside the Gregor Mansion, I got ready again. I was dressed in the same clothes with a black cloak on top of it. I wore a mask to cover my face as well.
Swoosh!
I appeared outside. Seeing the towering buildings around me. My eyes flickered. When I decided to use the flight ability to fight.
I saw people flying past in my direction. They didn't notice me. But it made me realize that people are looking for me.
Then I rose above the air and started fleeing forward. There are towering buildings on either side of the street. But I don't have time to appreciate all of this
I'm focusing on leaving this super base city as soon as possible.
Not long after,
[Ding! Warning]
[A Peak level Magic Attack is detected]
The Mechanical voice sounded in my mind. The next second, my expression changes drastically.
"Stop the intruder!" A loud voice broke my thoughts.
"I'm exposed," I mumbled under my breath. Before I could turn around. I found I couldn't move my body.
I'm stuck in the mid air. Then I saw a big brown palm appearing in the sky right above my head. It's night time, but I can identify that it's the Peak Stage Magic Spell Attack.
Gurrlll!
I don't know if I survived this attack or not. There is still the Gregor Mansion to save my life. But If I do it then my secret will be exposed.
The brown palm got closer to me. From the corner of my eyes, I saw the Wizard behind the spell attack. He is wearing ancient clothes.
I used the system to probe his details immediately. When I saw the information on the status panel. My pupil shrank. There is a slim chance to escape from this attack.
My brain quickly thought of a solution.
"Gravity Domain," I cast the 3rd Stage magic spell desperately.
A black domain enveloped me in the mid air. The next second, the giant palm fell on the domain.
Click!
My spell was broken instantly. With that I received an immediate backlash.
Pfff!
My mind was taken a hit. At the same time, the impact force sent my body back flying like a rocket.
Boom!
I crashed into the nearest building. The walls and windows are broken as a result.
The other hand, the Tribal level-9 Wizard sneered inside.
"If not for the leader's order, I would have turned the intruder into smoking dust. Since, I haven't used the rule power right now, the intruder must have traces of life left," He said to himself.
He really did use the simple spell right now. But a simple attack from a level-9 Wizard is enough to kill a high level wizard.
The Tribal Wizard then slowly floats down towards the destroyed building. He wants to take back the body of the intruder to the meeting hall.
With a smirk on his face, he entered the broken building.
At this point of time, the commotion has already attracted the attention of security guards and the public.
They started to appear outside of the building.
The Tribal Wizard frowned. He couldn't find the body of the intruder. His expression turned dark. Then he spread his mental power to scan the surroundings.
But the result was the same. There is no trace of an intruder. Like he hadn't appeared before.
Boom!
A monstrous anger burst out from him. The oppressive mana has destroyed the building.
Those who were standing outside were dumbfounded. The security guards began to protect their people.
At this time another level-9 Wizard appeared.
"Elder Pollard, what happened here?"
The Level-9 Wizard inside controlled his anger. Then he appeared outside. Facing the new elder appeared here.
"Nothing," After saying that he left the spot.
Seeing that everyone was bewildered. They know that this massive building was destroyed by the Peak Elder. But they don't know for what reason.
No one is qualified to question the peak elder. Even the elder who appeared right now is silent. Because he came too late. He doesn't know what happened.
Alas!
He knows that Elder Pollard is a weird character among the elders in their tribe. Only the Tribe leader with Supreme Strength can question him.
Next, everyone left one after another. Because of the Tribe Leader's order everyone continues to patrol the neighborhood.
Not long after, everyone left. Elder Pollard appeared back.
Standing in the mid air, he is looking at the collapsed building with a strange expression on his face.
"I heard foreign wizards have teleportation scrolls with them. If the intruder is truly a spy, then usage of teleportation scroll is reasonable," He muttered to himself.
"Now, the spy was injured by me. There is a small chance of survival. Even if the person managed to stay alive, it's highly unlikely he would come back," He quickly connected the dots.
Exactly because of this reason. He can't reveal it to others. Since he has alerted the snake. The Leader will be disappointed.
Considering the situation right now, he won't let go of this issue easily. His expression darkened thinking about it.
Then he left the place with a gloomy expression.
Meanwhile,
Inside the Gregor Mansion, I'm lying on the ground in the middle of the hall. My head was dizzy. At the same time, my body was screaming at me because of the pain.
This was the 1st time for me to get hammered by a Peak Wizard. At the last moment, I found that the spell attack didn't contain rules. This saved my life.
But the power of spell attack was there. I have taken a heavy blow but fortunately there was nothing wrong with my mana core.
I think that the 3rd Stage Gravity Domain has offsetted most of the power behind the spell attack. Only the remaining impact force made me miserable.
But this also made me understand the strength of the level-9 Wizard. They have control of 80% rule. Back in the academy, only Vice-Dean was this at level.
Yet in this Super Base, the level-9 Wizard is doing Patrol.
I underestimated the strength of the Super Base. To think level-9 Wizard is doing rounds here. With a thought, I closed my eyes and fainted.
A few hours later,
A severe pain woke me up. This time my mind got better. The pain brought by the backlash was gone. I couldn't even get up. Because the heart wrenching pain is affecting me.
Only after looking into the status. I can make the decision.

[Storage space items: Zero, the Puppet, Star Inheritance preliminary token, Silver Storage Bracelet, Sword, Dagger, Ancient map, The Gregor Mansion, Magic artifact, Herbs, potions, mana stones and spell books...etc..,]
The status panel appeared. My eyes started to go through the details. Then only I realized how pitiful my condition was. I have only a little over 100 stats left.
Anywhere down below would lead to death. Fortunately, the mana core was fine. Everything else can be recovered.
I closed the status panel and started to go through the storage. If I had known this previously, I would have stayed back in the silent forest to plunder resources from others.
Now, I can only consume the treasure in my hands. I didn't try to get up. I continued lying down on the ground.
There are herbal treasures with me including the one I got from the storage bracelet of the rogue wizard. Some of them I don't know how to use. I don't know whether it can be consumed directly.
Suddenly, a good idea comes to mind.
"Condensed mana liquid," I said in my heart. Then I took all the bottles out and placed them right beside me. I opened one of the bottles and poured it on top of my body.
The warm energy instantly alleviates my pain. The condensed mana contains all attributes of energy including the healing one.
Unfortunately, I can't run the meditation method. The veins and meridians have suffered blows as well. I can only hope that condensed mana liquid will do the healing.
