From MC’s Perspective:
Tud!
I landed on solid ground. But when I turned around to see the surroundings, I stood in disbelief.
I’m standing nowhere in the middle of a tropical forest. It takes me back to memory Lane.
Where last time I participated in a similar environment was back in the academy’s magic forest.
Suddenly, I feel something on my neck. When I saw its triangular green shaped pendant hanging on my neck. A look of amazement flashes in my eyes.
Don’t tell me this is the pass. I don’t remember wearing anything like that before coming here. So it must be a pass.
Then I thought about something and removed my magic robes quickly. I don’t want to get recognized by others quickly.
The size and dangers that exist in the ruins were many times that of that magical forest. For a moment, I maintained silence and calmed down my heart.
I heard this place was an ancient city. But later due to unknown reasons, it’s gone. Now it has been completely swallowed up by the monstrous forest.
This ruin has many bans and traps set in place. I have to avoid them carefully in my journey. After gaining some clarity in my thoughts, I moved.
I used magic spells to clear up the hurdles on the way.
Meanwhile, the remaining wizards from the Yellow River Academy have found the entrance gate. As time went on, one by one entered the ruin successfully.
But everyone appeared on different parts of the ruin. Lara White appeared in a relatively safer area. It’s a bush plain.
She immediately decided to look out for wizards. Only by collecting maximum passes, she can get back her 1st position.
Outside,
By that time, the two remaining academies came on time. Two massive aircraft with different models appeared side by side outside of the ruins.
The magic aircraft of the Royal Force Hall was painted in golden color. While the aircraft of Weapon Place appeared in the shape of the weapon.
They immediately dropped their students on the lands of mystic fogs. Like the Yellow River Academy, they gave their students a similar set of instructions.
But unlike the Yellow River Academy, The total number of students entering the ruin was numbered 20. All are specially trained elite wizards. 𝚘𝚟𝚕．ｔ
When everyone entered the fog. The two giant fleets immediately separated from each other. Right now three fleets were waiting outside of the ruins.
As time goes by many small and medium-sized fleets arrive in the foggy area. They are from different factions of the country. Some mage families even dared to send out their descendants alone.
The place outside of the foggy area became quickly crowded with people in a short period.
Unknown to them, some of the rogue forces have also sent their members to enter. Since the place is not restricted by number.
Any number of low-level wizards can enter the ruin. But every time, the ruin works differently. No one knows when the ruin would be closed.
Before the changes happened in the mystic ruin. The higher-level wizards used to stay inside the mystic ruin for days. Anywhere between 5 to 7 days.
But this time none of them had any clue. This time all forces have sent their members blindly hoping to get some relics.
At this time somewhere in the crowd. All of a sudden a few strange wizards quickly entered the foggy area.
Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of the academies. But before they could realize these people entered the mystic fogs.
Unfortunately, no one is interested in investigating this matter. Everyone was focused on their students.
Inside the ruin,
I have managed to cross a few distances slowly. But I have yet to find any ancient settlements out here. When I continue to walk further.
I came across a small mound. I carefully observed the mound before making any decision. The mound is covered with a green cover. If not for this dead tree in front of me, I wouldn’t have noticed the mound at all.
Then I slowly walked in front of it. I don’t know whether it is okay to mess with it. If there are any restrictions placed on it, then I would be in danger.
I glanced around. Seeing there were no other similar mounds in this area. I decided to take a chance. I walked closer to the mound’s bottom and released the gravity magic.
“Repulsive Force,” I said.
A sudden repulsive force appeared around me and it immediately swept away nearby obstacles. All the full-grown bushes, weeds, and plants vegetation were completely removed because of the repulsive force.
Clang!
At the same time, I heard a metallic sound from the mound. Seeing that, I immediately canceled my magic and looked down at the mound.
Right now the ground around me is completely clean without any green cover. Even the mound’s green cover at the front was removed as well.
When I observed the state of the mound. A look of disbelief appeared on my face. Because I see the solid metallic wall in front of me. It appears all four sides of the mound were built with a metallic wall.
Out of curiosity, I started to remove the green cover from the other side of the mound as well.
Time passed,
One hour later, I see a metallic mound before me. Now I can see its size. The mound is not that huge. The total height of the mound is 10ft. It looks more like some sort of base.
But unfortunately, I see no entrance to it. “What is the use of this thing?” I said to myself.
Rush!
Suddenly, I heard a noise coming from behind. When I turned around, I saw the small movement of tree branches. My eyes flickered with a slight glint.
Is it a monster or a wizard? I raised my eyebrows in confusion. But before I could do anything I saw someone walking out of the bush.
His distinct golden color robe made him realize his identity.”Royal Force Hall,” I muttered to myself.
The person appears to be a teenager similar to mine with an innocent face. But his cunning blue eyes tell me otherwise. His eyes didn’t even look at me, rather his gaze fell on the metallic mound.
“Ha…Ha….Ha…,”
“I never thought I would be lucky to come across the inheritance mound here,” The Royal Force Wizard let out a hysterical laugh.
His small mumbling reached my ears. My eyes turned cold in an instant. This guy sure knows a lot of things about the mystic ruin.
My earlier assumptions were right. Only we have been sent here blindly without knowing any information. From the beginning, he ignored my existence.
Looks like he mistook my appearance for a lone wizard. I feel no danger from him. And the mystic ruin restricts wizards level-5 and above from entering here.
So in other words, no one inside the ruin was an opponent of mine. But out of curiosity, I decided to probe him.
“System, probe the target’s details,” I said to the system.

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. Looking up at his status. I realized this guy is no less than any power-type wizard.
He got a combination of elemental and weapon-type magic. I’m curious to know about his spell’s output power as well. It might be fire elemental power and then followed by the power of the gauntlets.
When I was sizing him up and down. He finally turned towards me. There is nothing sort of vigilance in his eyes.
Maybe my magic cloak of mine is obstructing his senses. He can’t see through my strength. From his eyes, I can tell that he wants to silence me before accessing the metallic mound.
But when he got close to me. I said, “Gravity Field.”
A powerful gravity force appeared all of a sudden.
Grant Downs’ pupil shrank. Before he could realize he took the brunt of the gravitational force. The pressure made him lose his defense instantly.
Bang!
The next moment, he got smashed onto the ground severely. This all happened within seconds.
Creak!
In the next few seconds, several bones were broken. Grant Downs lay down on the ground limping. His appearance was miserable.
He only got a trace of clarity left. At this moment, a sudden realization dawned upon him. He had ignored the dangerous existence and kept looking at the metallic mound.
After this realization, complete fear took over his heart. Grant wants to survive badly. But he doesn’t know what the stranger is going to do now.
