From MC’s perspective:
Treasure Pavilion:
Underground Chamber,
Looking at the smiling faces of Pete Brown and Sean Horton, I laughed in my heart. Because they feel the mission is over. There will be more threats.
But unfortunately, the higher-ups and staff of the Treasure Pavilion have yet to confirm the details. Unaware of it, these two already started celebrating. I shook my head in disappointment.
20 minutes later,
Boom!
Again, the Treasure Pavilion was hit by terrific spell attacks. When the terrible sound reaches the underground chamber. My expression changes drastically.
“I knew it,” I muttered to myself as I confirmed something. From the beginning, I guessed whoever it is they are not after goods at all. There is much more to it.
But it’s a pity, the mission details didn’t record such variables. If I had known it, I would have avoided this mission.
Now such variables are popping up. I don’t know who is the enemy behind the scenes. But one thing is certain, the Treasure Pavilion had offended someone.
Outside,
Meanwhile, the Treasure Pavilion is being attacked by the next wave of rogue wizards. But this time the power of the rogue wizards was stronger compared to before.
The remaining Treasure Pavilion guards were finding it hard to survive. Because the level of the rogue wizards was higher than before.
Rooftop,
Seeing the increase in the death toll of guards. The white-bearded old man said, “Who is it behind the scenes?” His eyes burst out with a cold glint.
Because the rogue wizards in the 2nd wave are powerful. They are level-4 wizards. Hardly anyone from the guards can fight against the level-4 wizards.
The next moment, a firm determination appeared in his eyes.
“You guys let’s go and kill all those rogue wizards,” He uttered as the killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Swish!
Right after three of them disappeared from the top of the tower. The rogue wizards who were looking for a way to break into the building were all bombarded by powerful spells. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮
The sudden attack caught everyone’s attention.
“Who is it?” The pavilion guard uttered in surprise. Out of nowhere, they received the backup suddenly.
“Listen up, all the pavilion guards retreat to the building and treat the wounded. We three will take care of the rogue wizards,” the old man with rimmed glasses uttered in a cold tone.
Hearing that, all the Pavilion guards sighed in relief. Now the higher-ups have made the move. The situation will come to an end soon.
On the other hand, the rogue wizards who were acting as per the command were all stopped suddenly like a puppet.
Such a scene didn’t go unnoticed under the eyes of a white-bearded old man. He then landed on the ground and grabbed the neck of one of the rogue wizards.
Seeing that, the other two old men didn’t disturb him. When the white-bearded old man probed the details. His pupils constrict.
“No soul?”
“What kind of evil witchcraft is this?” The white-bearded old man cried in his heart.
He knew this kind of sorcery is very evil. He had never expected the wizard behind the scene to be this evil.
Before he could explain this news to his colleague standing beside him. He suddenly felt someone staring at him in the dark.
Boom!
The rogue wizard blasts into pieces in front of everyone’s gazes.
“This!” The old man with rimmed glasses and pupils shrank. He knew the rogue wizard had blown out himself. But the action was too sudden.
Even they couldn’t find the changes.
Swish!
Three more dark silhouettes appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground. The next moment, the rest of the rogue wizards started to move.
The white-bearded old man’s face turned ugly. He thought that the wizard behind the scene had arrived. But looking at the coordination of the people in front of him. He knew other soulless guys had arrived.
Swish!
Before he could do something, the dark silhouette made the move.
Right after that, a battle broke out between the higher-ups and rogue wizards. The appearance of the three new rogue wizards broke the balance.
Because three of them were level-5 wizards.
Swish!
The lingering hope left in the hearts of Pavilion guards vanished. Now they have no choice, other than to fight the remaining rogues.
The rogue wizards entered the building within a few minutes. The white-bearded old man witnessed such a scene. His heart is boiling in anger. But he can’t do anything at this moment.
Because his movement was blocked by the rogues.
Meanwhile, inside the underground chamber.
Pete Brown and Sean Horton readied themselves to ambush. Seeing that, I too remained in my position.
Swish!
When the rogue wizards stepped inside. Both released spells one after another.
Bang! Bang!
The rogue groups were caught off guard. And they have suffered a slight injury. Such a scene startled the three of us.
“Level- 4,” I said in a loud tone.
My words made Sean’s thoughts clear. He acted after Pete. But two of them were not enough to block these rogues.
One of them slipped away and rushed in my direction. Seeing that, I decided to act. But before I could cast the spell. I see him attacking the locked room.
“What?” A look of bewilderment appeared on my face. The next second, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
“What is he after?” I mumbled under my breath.
Swish!
I disappeared from the spot and appeared right next to him.
“Gravity Blast,” I pointed my fingers at his forehead.
The rogue wizard was startled by my appearance. He ignored me because of my level. But right now, he is going to pay the price for it.
A wisp of gravity power released from my finger and shot at its forehead.
This all happened in a blink of an eye.
The gravity power penetrated the opponent’s forehead. The next moment, his pupil lost its color. His body dropped down to the ground.
Tud!
Seeing the cold corpse, Pete Brown was shocked to the core. He looked at the corpse and then looked toward the YRA wizard again (YRA- Yellow River Academy).
He didn’t know how the rogue had died. But it’s related to the YRA wizard Vincent. Sean was also greatly surprised by the scene. Does he know how hard it is to kill a level-4 wizard? Especially, to do an instant kill. Which is extremely difficult.
Both quickly changed their views about Vincent Carey.
At the same time, I frowned. Because before killing I felt his gaze was weird. Like the rogue wizard was almost not real.
To confirm it, I turned toward one of the rogues who is fighting Sean. “System, scan the target,” I said to the system in mind.

A row of information appeared in front of me. But after seeing the details my pupils shrink. “Puppet,” My heart set off storms. No wonder, I felt weird.
The rogue’s gaze was impure without a soul. What kind of puppetry wizard path is this? So scary? The rogue’s soul was completely enslaved.
Then my gaze fell on his magic spell. The first three seem ordinary. But when my gaze fell on the last spell. A cold shiver went down my spine.
I heard that magic deals with the soul are also considered Taboo. Then my gaze fell on the other rogue wizard. I want to confirm whether other rogue wizards have similar methods.
“System, scan the target,” I said to the system in mind.

Right after, a row of information appeared before my eyes. Seeing that, this time rogue wizard statuses were different. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. It was not as exaggerated as I thought.
But my gaze stopped on his spell attack. Because one of the flame spells is related to the Soul. My eyes flickered with a slight glint. Is there any connection between these two spells?
