From MCās Perspective:
In this barren open land. We were looking at each otherās faces. Iām waiting for the perfect opportunity to use the evil artifact.
But the person in front of me appears to be less threatening. He didnāt raise any threatening words so far.
"I want you to know whether you are from the Dark Faction or White Faction," the white masked man asked.
He finally wasnāt able to contain the curiosity and pressure. He doesnāt want to fight the wrong person.
Hearing that I smiled. As I guessed, he was afraid. Since he has seen my face. I donāt think itās good to let him go. Who knows? He could have backers.
The white masked man frowned. The young looking Wizard doesnāt answer him. He is now hesitating. Because he was wary of the mirror artifact as well.
Boom!
I poured the mana into the mirror artifact to activate.
Seeing that the white masked manās face changed. He is being forced to fight in this old age. He is hoping for a draw.
The next second, he proceeds to cast a magic spell.
Boom!
A green concentric circle appeared before him. The next second, he slammed the magic circles into the ground.
On the other hand, my heart beating is increasing. The mirror artifact is devouring his mana. The opponent has cast the magic spell.
Iām thinking about the Gregor Mansion. If the mirror artifact doesnāt respond, I will hide inside the Gregor Mansion.
Boom!
The ground was struck with the Supreme magic spell.
Shortly afterwards,
The ground breaks and cracks started appearing rapidly. The crack expands further and a large vines emerges from the cracks.
They started growing rapidly in size in the blink of an eye.
The thickness of the vines is equal to the human body. They have sharp spikes all over the surface.
In the blink of an eye, these spike vines began to entangle with each other.
On the other hand, the changes brought me a sense of crisis. I donāt know what kind of spell attack this is.
The thick large vines quickly surrounded me like a cage. The vines are entangled with each other.
At the same time, the mirror artifact is devouring the mana. Itās taking longer than the previous time. Iām f@cked up.
The entangled vines are now closing in.
"Ha...Ha...Ha...," The white masked wizard laughed. He was worried about the mirror artifact.
Seeing that young man struggling to Artifact. His worries are gone. Now he is more confident of eliminating the young man.
Even if he is Supreme Wizard, he canāt escape his vitality sucking vines. He has vine magic. Itās also one of the reasons he is hesitating to confront others.
His magic needs time. If it were other Supreme Wizards their attack would reach him faster. But the young man is quite the opposite.
He is starting to suspect the young man is not a Supreme Wizard. Then he must be carrying some Artifact to block his prying.
He thinks the young man is already using a mirror artifact. So he could have more than one Artifact in possession.
A wide grin appears on his face. More and more vines made the cage stronger. Itās difficult for any Supreme Wizard to break out from his spell.
They would die from slow death.
Inside the cage, the mirror artifact is still devouring my mana. So much so my mana reserve is close to being exhausted.
I finally made a decision and stopped pouring mana. Before the mirror artifact could react. I put it inside the system space.
Now, Iām alone stuck inside the sharp vine cages. Iām finally feeling the sense of crisis. I used the system probe function.
The results stunned me. The vines are filled with magic rules. A magic rule which can plunder life.
If not for the Gregor Mansion, he wouldnāt be this calm to analyze.
"Hey, if you donāt want to die, you can still disclose your identity."
I heard a cold voice from outside the next second. But I have other plans in my mind. I took out the contract artifact.
The system warned me that itās damaged. But I got the opportunity to try the experiment.
My eyes turned serious. I unfolded the Artifact. Then I poured my mana into it. The next second, it was deflected by the Scroll Artifact.
Swoosh!
At the same time, the spike vines about to touch my body. Seeing that I immediately used my mental power. The mental power touched the scroll Artifact.
Buzz!
The changes took place the next second. The scroll Artifact becomes crimson glows. The next second, a red light entered my mind. I got the information about the artifact.
Swoosh!
The next second, I dropped the red scroll on the ground. Then I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion.
I was worried that scroll artifacts could harm me. But my mental power was enough. Iām not a beginner Level-9 Wizard.
Iām progressing towards the late stage. Then I collected my thoughts.
Itās easy to contact others using the Artifact. All I needed was the mental power of others. Right now, the red scroll was outside.
Iām eager to see whether the white masked man will pick up the red scroll or not. The next second, I rushed to the control room to see.
Outside,
The White Masked Man was confused. The sharp vines came in contact with each other. They were now completely entangled.
He only sees crimson glow instead of the young man. The young man was gone. He was sure that vines never touched the young man.
The crimson glow caught his attention. Once again he feels bad. He canceled the magic spell. The entangled vines disappeared the next second.
He sees a red scroll on the ground. There was no sign of the Young man.
"Whatās going on?"
"Where did he hide?"
The White Masked Man muttered. He then started looking around. But he found no traces of the living things here. Let alone the presence of a wizard. He didnāt find anyone.
