Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

(From MC’s Perspective)

Boom!

The confrontation between Elder John and the enemy is going on. I couldn’t help but silently stay inside the room. It’s not that I’m scared and afraid of the enemy. Before joining the academy, I don’t want to expose my strength.

The dark league has sent a level-6 wizard this time. If my strength is exposed, then the dark league will send an even more powerful wizard next time.

I don’t want to get into such a scenario. It’s best to stay inside the room and observe what is going on? I have a vague feeling that someone will come to rescue us.

Besides, I don’t see him panicking. I recalled the calm expression of Elder John when he saw the enemy. ”He must have some means under his sleeves, ”I mumbled under my breath.

Boom!

From time to time the boat artifact shook from bombardment. Not only that, I feel that the enemy is targeting me specifically. Especially when I hear the sound directly above my cabin.

If not for the barrier’s protection, this cabin would have been destroyed. I sighed inwardly. I hope the situation won’t force me to show my cards.

If that happens then I’ll have to do it without Elder John’s knowledge.

...

After one hour, Elder John successfully eliminated the second wave of insect species. But he is not satisfied at all. Because this cleaning almost took half of his mana power.

At this rate, he will end up using more mana power. He knows when that happens the insect old man won’t be playing.

John Meyers’s heart palpitates thinking about the old man’s real strength. So far the enemy has been using tricks to make him consume more mana. And the enemy had succeeded so far.

If this goes he will end up using the hold card. He gnashed his teeth in anger. ”What are they doing?” he directed his gaze towards the capital.

It’s been a few hours, but none from the academy came. Is the information blocked? His back went cold. He couldn’t come up with another reason.

On the other hand, the insect old man furrowed his eyebrows in disappointment. His plan went smoothly and his opponent used more than half of his mana power.

But the result comes under some sacrifice. His insects were destroyed completely. He can’t release a new set of insects just to deal with the guardian.

A quick glint flashed in the old man’s eyes. Since the guardian has lost half of his mana. He finally decided to stretch his hands.

”Before that, I need to break this barrier first,” the old man said with a cold snort.

But his words fell like thunder in John’s ears.

”No, it’s too early, ” He said in a solemn tone.

But the next moment, a giant magic artifact looked like a hammer.

Seeing that John Meyers’ face discolored. He hurriedly put his mind to controlling the boat artifact.

A huge hammer smashed the barrier.

Bang!

The next moment, a deafening sound resonated in the area.

Click!

A small crack appeared on the surface of the barrier.

Seeing that insect, the old man laughed out loud, ”Ha...Ha...Ha....”

”See, how is my giant hammer?”

”It’s a little more powerful than your boat artifact, ”the old man added further.

Hearing that John Meyers’s expression turned ugly. He noticed the giant hammer in the old man’s end. It’s an attack artifact no less than the quality of the boat artifact.

He understood that it is the perks of being a level-6 wizard and above. It must have been given to him by his organization Dark league.

What to do now? John Meyers fell into a tough situation. He noticed that Vincent hadn’t come yet. He hopes that he will stay inside the room a little longer.

Bang! Bang!

The situation is starting to get worse. As the little cracks start to appear more. Finally, the cracks expand more. Now it will take a few more rounds of a hit before the barrier collapses.

While John Meyers is panicking, the insect old man continues to smash the barrier. From beginning to end everything went according to his plan.

Now a little more time, he will kill both before fleeing from the place.

Bang! Bang!

After a few more rounds of smashing, the barrier collapses completely and the boat artifact loses its defense altogether.

John Meyers didn’t hesitate anymore. He immediately took stuff from his storage bracelet. Then he started to operate using his leftover mana power.

His actions were quick. The insect old man enjoyed the smashing of the barrier. So he failed to notice the little movements.

Then seeing the panic-stricken face of the guardian. He swung his hammer even more hard.

”Little mice. It’s time to end you,” the insect old man said with a laugh.

If this hammer falls, it will damage the artifact greatly. Furthermore, it is even more impossible to escape unscathed.

...

Inside the cabin,

When the barrier was damaged, I got up from the seat and was ready to go outside. But from the corner, I noticed the movement of Elder John.

Seeing that, my lips curved into a gentle arc. Finally, I let go of my hanging heart and stood in the same spot.

”Finally, he is taking out. But I don’t know what it is?” I grumbled. But my eyes never left him. I’m also aware of the giant hammer above the boat.

If things go wrong, I already made up my mind to hide inside the Gregor mansion. But I hope that won’t be the case.

My eyes gleamed with twinkle when I noticed a mirror-like artifact in Elder John’s hands.

...

Outside,

The insect old man shot the giant hammer at the boat.

Swish!

The speed was so fast that an air-breaking sound could be heard.

At the same time, John Meyers released his artifact to stop the incoming attack.

The mirror artifact is oval-shaped. And its outer edges were a little bit faded. But the artifact is fully functional and it can rival the power of a level-6 wizard.

When the artifact has been used a layer of energy is released from the artifact and shot at the incoming hammer.

On the other hand, the insect’s old man’s eyes flash greedily. He had never expected such an artifact to be used by the guardian. He assumed that the flying artifact is the whole card.

After seeing this mirror-shaped artifact, he couldn’t help but feel envy. But realizing the current situation, he felt happy. His earlier little resentment towards the headquarters was immediately swept away.

”This artifact is a good return,” He said to himself.

When the energy collides with a giant hammer. It completely freezes the weapon and stops it from falling on top of the boat.

This all happened in a blink of an eye.

A trace of apprehension appeared in John’s eyes. He successfully stopped the weapon. Next, he has to stop the old man.

He doesn’t know how long he can hold on. The mirror artifact consumes even more. It will be a matter of minutes before he collapses.

Beep!

Suddenly he received the notification sound. A quick glint flashed in his eyes after reading the message. He confirmed that help is on the way.

So hurriedly channeled the remaining energy to stop the insect old man.

The insect’s old man was stunned by the power of the mirror artifact. His eyes flash even more greedily. Now he almost forgot about the little mouse’s existence.

Right now he wanted to snatch the powerful mirror artifact which can lock objects. This thing will play a huge role in battle.

When he moved toward the guardian. He was attacked by the power of the mirror. Just as he decided to retreat. The power was over him and completely froze him on the spot.

He and his hammer stood like a statue in the mid-air. The insect’s old man’s eyes widened in disbelief. The power of the artifact increased his greed.

At this moment he was not at all angered by the attack. Rather he is glad that he has the opportunity to snatch it away. He also noticed the pale expression of the guardian.

”I don’t think you can hold me up forever,” The insect old man sneered. He also knows it will be a matter of time before the guardian loses his strength.

Suddenly he realized something. The little mouse was still hiding as he stared at the board. The next second a smirk appeared on his face.

After a couple of seconds, the mirror artifact started to weaken. The locking ability started to disappear.

Realizing that, John Meyers started to think. But he knows the support will arrive shortly. Now his mana reserve is dried up. It’s not good to use the artifact anymore.

So after canceling the power, he immediately shot a sea of flames at the insect old man.

”Ha...Ha...Ha..., now you can die in peace,” The insect old man said with laughter.

After saying that he throws his giant hammer toward the boat’s cabin. Once the giant hammer hits the cabin the little mice turned into minced meat.

Swish!

The giant hammer shot at the cabin at breakneck speed.

John Meyers stomped his feet and immediately dashed toward the hammer to stop it.
