Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

From MC's perspective:

Treasure Pavilion

When the three of us were waiting for the goods to arrive, I heard loud footsteps. Right after that, I turned toward the entrance.

The Treasure Pavilion guards entered the chamber carrying goods. They are coming here toward the empty room. Seeing that, I knew the time had arrived.

Looking at the guards' solemn expressions. Various thoughts come to mind. Before I could ask them questions, the other two quickly jumped to inquire about the details.

After a few seconds, my eyes flickered with a slight glint. What's with the higher-ups? They knew the Treasure Pavilion was surrounded by rogue wizards.

Yet they are casually transferring the goods as if nothing had happened.

I feel a bad premonition. It's like the motive of the rogue wizards was something else. Now looking at the situation, I feel my assumption is true.

They are not attacking and looting the goods. Instead, the rogue wizards are waiting for something to happen. I furrowed my eyebrows slightly. Then I see the guards returning after placing the goods in the empty room.

And at the entrance, another batch of goods was carried by guards.

Seeing that, I remained silent and stood patiently outside of the empty room.

A few minutes later,

Boom!

I hear a terrific sound occurring from the outside. Right after that, I see the guards running back to assist others.

"Vincent looks like the rogue wizards were attacking. Our job is to stay here and protect the goods. If any of those rogues managed to come down, then we will take care of them," Pete Brown said in a solemn tone.

Hearing that I nodded my head in response.

Outside,

The rogue wizards jumped in to attack as they received the signal. Like puppets, everyone's movements were coordinated.

Ignoring the goods the rogue wizards tried to infiltrate the building. But they met with Pavilion Guards' defense.

Because of that, a quick battle broke out. The long-bearded old man and the other two higher-ups were looking for the man behind the scenes.

From their experience, they too noticed the abnormality of the rogue wizards. And their intention to barge in right into the building made the higher-ups confirm something.

"These rogues are not after goods," The White-bearded old man said with a sigh.

The other two higher-ups' faces darkened as well.

At this time, an old man with rimming glasses said, "We need to find the instigator before it's too late." He is one of the three higher-ups. After the white-bearded old man, everyone listens to his words in second place.

The third old man among them is slightly obese. He used to take care of the administration works. But for the current situation, he is supporting the actions of these two.

He is poor in decision-making when it comes to dealing with a hostile situation.

Meanwhile,

Boom!

Fire spells were targeted at the building. The aftermath of the attack sent shockwaves and caused damage to the building structure.

The Pavilion guards are trying to block the way. But their attempts were turning futile. At proximity, it's difficult to stop the barrage of spells.

Most of the spell attacks fell on the glass building. Which in turn made the high-quality glass walls crack under the attack. If the situation continues it will be a matter of time before the building collapses completely.

Using the opportunity, some of the rogue wizards broke into the building and moved toward the underground chamber.

Meanwhile, watching all of these.

"Brother, who are you not taking them down?" The old man with rimmed glass asked out in confusion.

He knows that among the three. The white-bearded old man is the strongest with wizard capability. If he takes action now, it will be a matter of time before rogue wizards disappear.

The obese old man also looked confused. But he has immense trust in these two. So he silently listened.

But the white-bearded old man was staring at the opposite side. The words of his colleagues have reached his ears. But he remained silent for a moment.

Then staring in dark, he replied, "Do you guys think there will be no retaliation if I take action now?"

The old man with rimmed glass asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"

"I think the attack is getting started. There will be another wave soon," The Whitebeard old man added.

The obese old man broke out in a cold sweat.

But a look of understanding appeared on the old man's face with rimmed glasses.

"Brother, who is so malicious against our Treasure Pavilion?" The old man with rimmed glasses asked back.

The situation is getting out of control. Only the brother can save the shop from the turmoil. Otherwise, everyone would be planted here along with the building.

"Sigh,"

The white-beard old man let out a sigh. Right now, three of them are standing on the rooftop of the glass building. From here they can watch the movements in four directions.

So many things are happening on the ground. The Treasure Pavilion guards can't control the situation if there is another wave.

"Brother?" The old man with rimmed glasses asked again. He can't control his inner doubts. Someone has to clear his confusion.

Otherwise, he can't remain silent.

"Did you realize something?"

"So much commotion is going on. But there is no sign of authority yet. What does it mean?" The white-beard old man asked.

The other two looked at each other. But the question brought them more anxiety than relief.

Then before they could ask, the old man with a white beard said," The government perhaps knows the identity of the enemy. But they choose to remain silent instead of sending the City Guards to protect us. Which tells a lot."

"We can only wait for the storm to pass. Then we will have plenty of time to find out. Who is behind the scenes," He added further.

Hearing that, the two old men nodded their heads in understanding.

Inside the underground chamber,

When I'm guarding in quietly, the sudden appearance of two rogue wizards startled everyone.

"Fire Beam," Sean Horton released the spell.

The next moment, a powerful heat beam shot at the coming rogue wizard. In a blink of an eye, the beam tears through the air and reaches the target in seconds.

Boom!

The rogue wizard was hit by the spell and got caught off guard completely. The rogue wizard is a level-3 wizard, but the fire spell attack of the level-4 wizard made him half-dead.

Seeing his companion injured, the other one didn't try to escape, rather he chose to confront him directly.

But before he could release the spell to attack.

"Deadly Stab," Pete Brown uttered as he made a timely move on the rogue wizard.

Pfff!

The rogue wizard wasn't expecting the surprise attack. His mana core broke into pieces from the stab. With that, the rogue wizard breathes his final breath.

Seeing the cold corpses of the rogue wizards, Sean and Pete ignored it completely.

Seeing their actions, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I didn't get the opportunity to make a move. But my attention shifted back to the outside situation.

The appearance of the rogue wizard here in the underground chamber is not a good sign. This means the outside situation is worsening and the defense of the Pavilion guards were not good either.

A gloomy hint flashes in my eyes. Before coming here, I thought the guard mission would be a piece of cake. But right now so many things are happening.

Shaking my head, I returned to the position.

Sean and Pete looked at me with cold eyes. Seeing that, I furrowed my eyebrows. What happened? Are they planning something? My mouth curves into an arc.

Sean and Pete's behavior didn't go unnoticed under my eyes. I know both of them are after credits. They want to do it more by killing as many rogues as possible.

But if they intend to do anything stupid by going against me. Then I don't mind stepping in and reaping the final benefits. My eyes flickered with a cold glint.

Time passed,

30 minutes later after the intense battle.

Most of the Pavilion guards have died outside. And the rest of them suffered gruesome injuries. The situation of the rogue wizards was not good either.

The majority of them have died and those who broke into the building have died at the hands of the academy wizards.

The names of Pete Brown and Sean Horton were spreading among the staff after seeing the piled-up corpse in an underground chamber.

When it comes to other academy wizards. There is not much noise. Sean and Pete Brown were happy with their success.

They believed the mission would come to an end after killing the rogue wizards.

Meanwhile,

On the rooftop, the three old men were in a bad mood. They are not happy at all by seeing current development. Because they know the worst is yet to come.

Suddenly,

The white-beard old man muttered in a solemn tone, "2nd wave is coming."
