Chapter 1007: Total destruction
From MC's Perspective:
After that, one of the guards led me to the mansion. The Guard did not say anything to me. Seeing that, I can guess what this is about.
Perhaps the Peak Wizard asked him to watch over me. We arrived in front of the white building. The Guard did not leave.
I furrowed my brow.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Elder asked us to guard the mansion," he simply said.
Hearing this, I nodded to him before entering the building. The guard gave a look before standing outside.
Based on his actions, I am confident that he will keep an eye on me.
My face immediately lit up with an amusing smile. I would like to see what the Peak Wizard will do.
His reaction would be something if he discovered I was not present at all.
Time passed,
I went through every room in the building. However, there were no magical artifacts or modern gadgets. When I tried to look around the area outside the building.
The Guard always followed me. As time passed, I noticed more guards appearing outside the building. They stood casually outside the building.
However, I can see that they are preparing for the nighttime attack. The Peak Wizard previously displayed greed. It makes sense that he would attack me at night.
If the fight spreads outside, these guards may do their part to encircle me.
As I slowly start to figure it out. My eyes flash with a murderous glint.
"I would like to see them try," I said in my heart.
As night fell, I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion. I am sure Peak Wizard will appear at any time.
Not long after, a level-9 Wizard appeared outside of the mansion. It was the same middle-aged man wearing a tuxedo. He was in a rather bad mood.
He has been watching over the border since the morning. Only a few people returned from the Silent Forest. But none of them were Vincent Carey, the Gravity Wizard.
He then directed his gaze to the white mansion. His mood improved. The only thing that could completely improve his mood was the magical artifact hidden by the Wandering Wizard.
"Where is he?" he asked.
Hearing this, one of the senior guards stepped forward to respond.
"Elder, that individual is staying inside."
"Good," The Peak Wizard said as he stepped forward to enter the building.
He walks into the living room and then looks around.
Seeing that no one was here. He spread his mental power. His consciousness covered the whole room. No object can't be hidden in his mind.
But there was no sign of the Wanderer Wizard in any one of those rooms. He thought about the hidden Artifact. Then once again spread his mental power to check.
After confirming it, there was no person inside the room. His expression changes drastically. An overwhelming pressure emitted from his body. The pressure instantly destroys the nearby chairs and tables.
His face was contorted. He shouldn't have trusted these incompetent guards.
"The wanderer wizards must have fled after feeling something wrong," He said to himself.
"Damn it!"
"Today is the worst day in my life," He cursed out loud.
"Where are the guards?"
The next moment, he appears in the mid air outside. His loud shouting has alarmed the guards. Everyone's expression was filled with fear.
Even the Senior Guard's face was written with horror. He can see his ending.
The Peak Wizard is standing in the mid air. But the pressure coming from him made everyone get close to the ground.
"The Wanderer has already escaped. What's the use of keeping you incompetent trash," The Peak Wizard shouted.
Hearing his words, everyone's expression turned even worse. Some already resigned to their fate. A few of them tried to escape this horrible pressure.
"Harumph," The Peak Wizard snorted, seeing their futile attempt.
"Sand Hole"
He cast the magic spell the next moment. A massive magic circle appears before him. The magic power shot from it strikes the ground.
Boom!
A deafening noise sounded.
The ground underneath the building and few other surrounding areas collapsed all of a sudden.
The Guards were buried under the ground including the buildings in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the destruction, the Peak Wizard didn't even flinch. Like he had done normal stuff. But the destruction sure elevated his mood a lot.
He looks better now. Then he left the place.
Not long after, the nearby people arrive at the spot. But they can't get close to them. Incident site. Because the effect of spell attack is still lingering.
Everyone can feel the dread from the surrounding air itself.
Slowly, the dust disappears from the spot. It's rare for people to gather near one particular spot at midnight.
Seeing the dust was gone, some rogue wizards went forward to check. But not long after, they had taken the step. Their whole body was sunk into the hole.
The scene sent a cold shiver down everyone's spine. So the people backed away in fear. Those rogue wizards who are greedy and evil decide to leave as well.
From the destruction everyone can tell that some high level wizard has caused the destruction. Everyone was aware that not many are living in the border town.
Some people widely left the place in order to not offend the Wizard.
A few minutes later,
Swoosh!
A appeared outside in the middle of the destruction. Before my feet could touch the ground. I used the flight ability to stay in the mid air.
[Ding! Warning]
[Powerful Mana Radiation is detected.]
[The host is advised to leave the area immediately!]
The Mechanical voice sounded in mind. Hearing that I didn't gamble and left the place. When I reached a remote place. I stopped moving and landed on the ground.
This place is quite a distance from the border. There are not many buildings around here. But those buildings all have carriages parked before the building.
Seeing that a hint of curiosity appears in my eyes. But I have decided to check later. Lizzen Nation is the 3rd country on the map. Before that I have 2 cross two more countries to reach home.
"Hey, wait. Who are you?"

"Why are you spying in front of our Lion Tower Chamber of Commerce?"
The sudden voice broke my thoughts. When I turned around, I saw 2 wizards coming towards me. I checked their status. Then I noticed they are level-7 Wizards.
In the blink of an eye, they landed before me. Both of them are old men dressed in black suits.
"Who are you?"
"Don't you know this place is unauthorized for outsiders?" The old man asked.
"I'm not a foreigner," I replied.
"Do you take us for a fool? Then why are you wearing the mask,"the old man asked.
"Catch him. Take him back to the boss. The rogue wizards have good items hidden with them," The other old man said.
Hearing that my eyes turned icy.
"When a moth collides into fire. You can't blame fire for its destruction," I said to them.
"Ha...Ha....Ha...."
"The rogue wizards are philosophical these days," the old man said with a laugh.
"Gravity Domain"
I cast the magic spell in response. Their laughter stopped when both of their bodies were engulfed by the dark shadows.
Before they figured it out, they were trapped in my domain. The next moment, a powerful pressure descended on them. The terrifying pressure made their mind go blank.
Their magic attacks are not working inside the domain.
As the time passed, their old body started to crack. In the blink of an eye, their body burst into pieces like a watermelon.
Then I canceled the spell before escaping from the place.
Shortly after,
I came to the public area where there are more inns. I can move around freely. I entered one of the inns and booked for a night stay.
After entering the room, I checked the room for safety. The room was medium sized with a single bed and chair. There is also one small washroom.
"The inn owner was good. He didn't ask for my identity. Maybe he thought I had just entered the border town," I said to myself.
Swoosh!
Then I appeared in the Gregor Mansion. Instead of going to the control room, I went to the bed to lie down.
Lying in the bed, I couldn't help but think of Peak Wizard's spell attack. Just an aftermath of the destroyed area was not safe enough for the high level wizards.
His attack would have killed me instantly. My forehead was covered with sweat. It's good that I have a system with me. Its reminder also confirmed my suspicion.
To think even the Peak Wizards are targeting the lone wandering wizards for money. I don't know what to say. Normally, the Peak Wizards belong to a big organization or Wizard Clan.
I wonder what's the background of the middle aged man. If I have an opportunity in the future, I should pay him back.
