Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 299 Part Two: Insect Tide



Suddenly a dark figure arrived in front of the black clouds. Seeing his appearance, the swarm of insects retreated backward a little and stayed in formation.

The dark figure appeared to be an old man in his sixties. He was dressed in a black robe. After appearing, his gaze fell on the magic artifact. There is a slight frown on his face.

He is usually busy with his affairs. Rarely the headquarters asked him to do any task. But this time is different. When he was returning from the capital after completing an undercover mission.

He suddenly received an emergency mission from the headquarters. It is about intercepting and killing the talent seed of the Yellow River Academy.

At first, he was annoyed. But he knew the ins and outs of the mission. Earlier, two level-5 wizards took the same task but they never returned from their mission.

And that kid named Vincent is doing well. Seeing that the headquarters finally requested him. But right now seeing the artifact he sneered.

Now he understood how the kid survived so far. The brat always had a level-5 guardian with him. It was an intelligence failure on their side. He really can't wait to burst open the heads of a few crooks back in headquarters.

"Harumph," he snorted coldly right after seeing the movements of the guardian.

On the other hand, John Meyers' eyes lit up with surprise. Earlier there was some confusion and panic. But right now after confirming the identity of the other party. It eases down his nervous heart.

"I underestimated the dark league organization's resolve, they really can't give up," He grumbled. A gloomy glint flashed in his eye.

Now it's most important to escape from the clutches of the level-6 wizard. After slowing down the magic artifact, he immediately moved his hands to send a distress signal.

His movements didn't go unnoticed under the old man's insect eyes. A vicious glint flashed in his eyes. Without waiting further, he raised his hands against him.

The next moment, the frozen black clouds started to dive in.

John Meyers didn't get flustered. The first thing he did was to send a distress signal to the academy. So that he can receive support in time in case something goes wrong.

Seeing the sea of insect bugs coming towards him, his expression turned serious. He didn't dare to underestimate these bugs. It will be disastrous if some of them slip away.

He understands that the target of the old man is Vincent. He doesn't know why? He feels that the old man is very much wary of him.

When the insects got closer, he raised his hand to cast a magic spell.

When he started to cast the spell, a huge fiery orange magic circle appeared before him. The next second, a sea of flames released from the magic circle.

He immediately shot the flames at insects.

Within seconds the sea of flames made contact with insect bugs.

Bang!

The next moment, a continuous popping sound started to reverberate throughout the area. Seeing that John Meyers didn't let down his guard. He continued to stay vigilant. His eyes never left the insects.

At the same time, he watched the old man's movements. He had heard about him before but never expected to meet him here.

When he continues to incinerate the insects.

Baam!

The shield of the boat artifact took the brunt of the old man's attack.

Seeing that John Meyers's pupils constrict, the old man's appearance above the boat shocked him to the core.

"Sure, it's peak level-6 wizard,"

"Damn you, dark league," John Meyers gritted his teeth in anger. If not for the artifact being covered, he would have been injured right now.

"Hey, little mouse?"

"Where are you?"

"How long are you going to hide in the boat?"

The insect old man stared at the boat. From beginning to end, he didn't care about John Meyers.

He is aware of earlier reports. This guardian might have some life-saving trump cards. So the old man doesn't want the other party to release that.

He came here to take little mice's life. As long as he achieves that he can go back to his place. But now it seems tricky. The high-end magic artifact can withstand the attack of the level-6 wizard.

The insect old man furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure. Seeing that there is not even a crack on the barrier surface. He wondered how long it would take to breach it.

At the same time, he noticed the sea of flames and the condition of his insect bugs. The next moment, a quick glint flashed in his eyes. A vicious plan hatched in his mind.

As long as the guardian consumed his mana power. Then it will become easier for him to breach the barrier. It's not easier for one person to attack and defend at the same time.

When there is a lack of mana power, then it will be even more impossible to do that.

After figuring it out, the insect's old man continues to bombard the cover of the artifact. He is also aware if it takes too much time, then there will be reinforcement from the capital.

He doesn't want his mission to fail.

On the other hand, the boat artifact shook from the bombardment from the insect old man. At the same time, John Meyers continues to channel his mana to control the sea of the flame spell.

The black clouds are beginning to reduce. But John Meyers is not satisfied at all. He feels this was not a strong attack from an insect old man at all.

As a level-6 wizard, this person must have other fierce spells. This attack of insect bugs is nothing but child's play for him. For a moment, he couldn't help but worry. Is there any trick behind it?

Then he put his mind to adjusting the boat artifact from shaking. Suddenly, he realizes something. "Damn, b@stard," a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Does he understand what the old man is up to now? The other party wants to consume his mana power. What a vicious plan!

Then he turns around and looks at the cabin. Seeing that Vincent is staying inside the room. He ponders deeply. How to escape from this scenario.

If he abandons the boat artifact, then both of them will have to face the direct attack of the insect old man.

And he is not sure whether he can easily slip away from the insect old man either. A trace of apprehension appeared in his eyes.

Right now, he is not without any hold cards. But they are only for one-time use. Which can be only used at a crucial time.

Finally, John Meyers decided to wait for the reinforcements. He believes someone must have received his message.

An hour later,

The black clouds were eliminated. At the same time, John Meyers appeared to be tired. But he knows the real test is ahead.

On the other hand, the insect old man sneered. He then took some pouches from his storage bracelet. When he opened that, a swarm of insects came out in numbers.

Seeing that the insect old man completely dispatched a new swarm of insects. But this time the insects were a little different than the previous one.

"Let's see how you can incinerate my insects this time," He sneered inwardly. Because this time, he dispatched insect monsters that were resilient to fire spells.

They won't easily die this time. A cruel glint flashed in the old man's eyes. He already saw through the tired expression of the guardian.

To completely eradicate the insect monsters this time, it takes huge mana power from wizards. When the guardian loses completely, he will strike like thunder.

At the same time, John Meyers' expression turned worse. As he had assumed earlier, the insect old man still has some bugs in his sleeve.

He gnashed his teeth in anger. But he quickly controlled himself. He wants to use the whole card right away instead of wasting time by eradicating bugs one by one.

But he knows that would be a stupid decision. So he continues to bide his time.

30 minutes later,

John Meyers started to realize the rapid consumption of his mana power. But not even 1/3 of the insect bugs were eradicated. Seeing that his expression turned even worse.

He doesn't know what is happening in the capital. They are still a day away from the capital. But if a strong man wants, he can still come here within a few hours.

Shaking his head, he began to focus on doing two things at the same time. Those insect bugs may seem harmless. But he knows they can easily eat away the mana of wizards.

These specific insect bugs used by dark-league old men can pose a threat to the level-6 wizard. For lower-level wizards like Vincent, he will die in a matter of seconds.

Right now it's more important to stay away from those bugs. These bugs are more dangerous than the insect old man at this moment.

From time to time, he also checks the cabin. Seeing that Vincent is wisely staying inside the room. A hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

On the other hand, the insect old man is dealing with the situation casually.

Because everything is going according to his plan.
