Gravity Mage with Level-Up System



From MC's perspective:

When I walked out of the room. I spotted someone walking out from the next room as well. But seeing the person a look of disbelief appeared on my face.

He is none other than Senior Gutt himself. To make sure, I used the system to check his identity. 

Senior Gilbert was transformed into an old man in his fifties having a beard and mustache. I felt my appearance was a lot better.

I look like a rich merchant kid. Whereas he looks like a cold-blooded mercenary. Feeling my gaze, he immediately turned towards me.

"Oh, Vincent?" Gutt said it in a surprised tone. The transfiguration potion worked beyond his expectations.

In response, I nodded my head.

Gutt Brown smiled and said, "Well, take some rest. We will leave during nighttime."

Then after exchanging a few words, I walked back to my room.

A strange glint flashes in Gutt's eyes. He waited for a few minutes before leaving the hallway. 

Meanwhile,

I decided not to waste time. So I began to study gravity books. So far I have covered all the basic knowledge of gravity magic. But this intermediate book is taking so much time.

Because I found that the core formation won't be the same as when I level up. To meet the breakthrough condition in the future, I have to pick a path. It may be offensive, defensive, or controlling. So far I'm using everything.

So before considering the future path, I have to complete the intermediate gravity book.

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

No one came to disturb me in the meantime. So I have completely immersed myself in reading books.

During the evening time, I decide to go outside. So I stopped reading and walked out. The first thing that caught my attention was the extreme silence along the hallway.

I know this small mansion was empty. But still, the silence gives me an odd vibe. Then I turned toward Senior Gutt's room and decided to talk to him.

Knock~

But when I knocked on the door there was no response. Again, I knocked on the door and called out his name.

Yet, there was no response from inside.

In curiosity, I opened the door and walked in. The door was not locked. "Where has he gone?" I muttered to myself.

Then I casually glanced around the room. Similar to mine, the room arrangement was simple. 

When I was pondering, I heard footsteps nearing the room. 

Swish~

I disappeared from the spot and appeared in the Gregor Mansion. Then I walked to the control room to check.

At the same time, Gutt Brown opened the door and walked into the room. Unlike his usual calm demeanor, he looked hideous. 

"F@ck," He cursed out loud. 

"That b@stard Tony is pissing me off. I have given him the information. But still, he wants me to stay and watch over the Vincent kid."

"Harumph, if Senior Gilbert finds out, it will be over for me. I hope these b@stards come and kill that kid before they reach Tolu country," Gutt muttered to himself.

But he doesn't know that someone is hearing every word from his mouth.

As early as Gilbert contacted and entrusted him with the work. He had made up his mind to earn money from the information. 

Gilbert's reward was rich. But he knows the inside information. There are people after Vincent's life. And they are looking for chances to do that.

Except for sharing the information, he doesn't want to get involved in this mess. That's why he contacted Tony Burnett and told him everything.

As he had guessed, Tony promised him wealthy rewards. Even twice Gilbert's offer.

But Tony wanted him to watch over Vincent. Until his people arrive to kill Vincent. Now he is caught in the middle of conflicting thoughts.

He thought that these people would do something when Vincent entered the Tolu Country. 

If that happens it's good for him, because his job is to escort Vincent Carey. He can leave after dropping him there.

But now because of Tony Burnett everything changes. In frustration, he went to the bath to cool down his head.

Meanwhile,

Inside the Gregor Mansion,

My eyes grew cold and I'm clenching my fist in anger. I watched the whole scene. I made a huge mistake by putting my trust in someone else. 

Senior Gilbert's person turned out to be a double agent. And why did he do that? I can understand the mentality. The Bloodline Hall is not only the strongest but also the wealthiest one.

He wants to make money by sharing my information. 

Seeing that he has gone to take a bath. I appeared outside and walked out of his room.

After entering my room, I raised my hand and proceeded to contact Senior Gilbert. I don't know why? I stopped midway.

Then I massaged my temple before thinking about the next course of the plan. I sat on the bed and pondered.

My heart wants to kill Gutt and shred him into pieces. He had stabbed me in the back. But fortunately, I came to know about his scheme this early.

What to do? 

I race my mind to come up with answers. And I can't ditch the mission now. Since I had a plan to visit the no man's land. Then I must go there.

To reach the no man's land. I must reach Tolu country. Once I get into the Tolu Country, then I will find some way to enter the no man's land.

But the problem is Tony Burnett. I don't know who he will send. Unlike previous bloodline hall troublemakers, this Tony guy seems to be a bit influential.

He might send the level-6 wizards after me. Last time, the bloodline wizard Ko failed because of the 6th-order monster, the Spider Queen. Which gave me time to escape.

So no one doubted me. And that person was still bedridden.

And now, there is going to be another confrontation between me and the bloodline hall. 

Even if I can kill the enemy, then the next time they would send someone stronger. Which doesn't sound good to me. My real trump card is that no one knows about my actual power.

So I don't want to waste such a card on this trip. After some contemplation, I came up with a new solution.

My mouth curved into an arc. This plan requires some sacrifice first. I glanced toward Gutt's room.

I decided to eliminate Gut before starting the trip. From his words earlier. I can tell that he is forced to accompany me.

Maybe the enemy wants to know my whereabouts from him. So I can't have such a liability traveling with me during the trip.

Tud!

I stood up and walked out of the door. With a bright smile on my face, I walked to the Gutt's room and knocked on the door.

Creak~

Right after, the door opened.

Gutt Brown walks out. Seeing Vincent, he is surprised. 

"Vincent"

"What happened?" He asked.

Looking into his eyes, I replied, "Senior Gutt, I need your help with something."

"Senior Gilbert has dropped a package for me on the outskirts of the city. So I'm going outside to get it."

A hint of surprise flashes in God's eyes. He completely believed Vincent's words. "Gilbert still has something in his sleeves," Gutt said in his heart.

Then he looked at Vincent before nodding his head. He remembered the words of Tony. And forced a smile on his face.

At the same time, I sneered inside. This guy isn't aware of his impending doom. We both then left the small mansion. 

20 minutes later,

We walked out of the city and even crossed the previous aircraft landing point. Right now we are going deep into the woods.

Gutt Brown didn't find any anomaly. He is seriously investigating the surroundings. He doesn't want anyone to follow them.

10 minutes later,

When we were completely outside of the city and slightly closer to the border. A fierce glint flashes in my eyes.

Gutt Brown found it strange. Because Vincent is not talking to him. He has been silent since we left the mansion.

"Gravity Blast,"

Before he could realize what was going on? A wisp of gray color energy shot toward him. Startled by the changes, he tries to block it. 

But it was too late. He was just behind Vincent Carey. So the spell attack came fast before he knew it.

Boom~

Gravitational power tore through his inner organs like a piece of paper. The gravity magic did not even leave his mana core. The mana core crumbles under gravitational pressure.

Pfff!

Blood splattered on the ground. Gutt lay half dead on the ground. His eyes were full of disbelief. Until the end, he didn't know what happened. And why was Vincent able to injure him?

At the same time, I walked up to him and looked into his eyes. 

His face was filled with shock.

I smiled and said, "Why? Are you surprised?"

"You are going to die because of your greed. And remember, I don't like Tony Burnett," Added further.

Gutt Brown was shocked to the core. The secret was exposed. Before he could speak, another spell attack ended his life.
