Chapter 167 Death Of Mason Terrell

Wilderness,

The mood is both serene and surreal. The breeze blew past me. The gentle breeze is brushing against my face. I would have slept soundly if I hadn't been in a life-or-death scenario right now.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to appreciate nature's beauty. Because I spotted my attacker, a black shadow moved quickly from one location to another.

Despite moving in random steps, I can see him approaching me. I had no visible reaction on my face. There's a chance things will go awry if I alerted the enemy. Then killing him would be difficult.

Gravity magic is a type of control power. I can only use my powers when he enters my field. I'm not going to show any noticeable reaction till then.

At the moment, I was aware of an obvious flaw in myself. I have no other means of attack than three gravity spells. I usually rely on gravity fields amongst gravity spells. It alone does half of my work.

I can easily kill an enemy as long as he is in my field. But if it were the opposite situation, I'm just a harmless chicken.

For example, if there had been an Archer-type wizard, I would have been long dead. My spine tingled just thinking about it. I'm still quite frail. I shouldn't expose myself in front of people recklessly.

The enemy in front of me is a knife wizard. He obviously needs to get closer to me if he wants to kill me.

I was regretting my hasty decision at the time. I had previously passed by the group despite my knowing of their presence. "I should have kept my distance from them," I uttered.

It's pointless to worry about it now. Who can say? A simple encounter would put me in danger. I cleared my mind as I heard the faint sound of footsteps.

My senses became alarmed next. I could feel the enemies closing in on me. Then I waited for a suitable opportunity after feeling that way.

Time passed.

Mason Terrell rushed out of the woods at breakneck speed. He dashed towards the young man and at the same time his right hand hidden behind his back.

In his hands appeared a basic, chilly knife. He firmly grabbed the knife as it formed. Mason chose to use a rapid stabbing spell once he was close to the enemy's body.

At the same time, a slight smile appeared on my face as I noticed the black shape emerging from the bushes.

"Just a bit more distance," I grumbled.

Without further ado, I cast an instant magic.

"GRAVITY FIELD" came out of my mouth and took the opponent off guard.

Mason Terrell saw his enemy's lips move, but before he realized it, he felt his heart escape through his mouth.

In a second, an invisible gravitational field developed around me. My gaze was drawn to the enemy's frightening expression. I'm sure he was taken aback by the instant execution of a magical spell.

Mason Terrell wanted to say something, but the tremendous pressure crushed his body into the ground. First, his face was smacked on the ground directly.

BOOM

That heinous hit injured him greatly. Red blood began to ooze from his brow gradually.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

I didn't dispel the gravity spell after carrying out my strategy. Rather, I kept the field in stable condition. I want to hear the sound of his bone cracking.

AAAHHHH, I continued to apply invisible pressure to him.

His mouth opened with a frightful yell.

I noticed the materialized knife in his hands diminish slightly.

Images of an old beggar who attempted to assassinate me a few weeks ago flash before my eyes.

It simply made my calm heart churn with rage.

My eyes sparkle with a cruel glitter.

Unknowingly, I expended more mana. This increased the gravitational pull within the field.

I heard something shattering. Mason Terrell's bones wouldn't be able to endure the pressure any longer, I knew instinctively.

Mason Terrell was having trouble breathing this time. He couldn't even scream out loud.

Unknowingly, his gaze was drawn to the young man's tender-looking face. "Am I going to die?" He felt bad about himself. But it was too late to intervene.

Mason became aware of a young man approaching him. He gripped the knife securely. However, under the enemy's influence, he has a tough time maintaining the form of a magical weapon.

When he notices the young man a few steps away, he has a sudden realization. It is difficult to kill him because he cannot reach the opponent. But now that the opponent is approaching him, it's an excellent time for him to attack.

Mason sought to ingest as much mana as he could to sustain his materialized knife under tremendous pressure.

On the other hand, I walked in unhindered on my own field. I keep listening to the enemy's bone-cracking sound. I then double-checked the statistics.

Mason Terrell's vitality points begin to dwindle gradually. It will only be a matter of time before he completely loses his breath. But I can't wait that long.

Something doesn't feel right; it's been several hours since I left the previous site. And he's been following me the whole time. He may have informed others.

I can't be certain. But my senses tell me to get out of here as soon as possible. So I'm not going to underestimate my adversary.

I then remove the knife from the storage bracelet. I kept this knife in case of an emergency. But I never imagined I'd be using it against the knife wizard himself.

I stepped closer to the enemy, who was half-dead on the ground, his bones starting to crumble as the seconds passed.

I'm still annoyed by the slower dropping of vitality stats. Then I directed the knife at the opponent's body.

At the same time, I continue to use extra mana for safety reasons.

When I chose to slice Mason's throat.

Mason used the might of his upper body to cast spells.

"QUICK STAB," Mason shouted.

Mason's knife was brought back to life by that spell, and it shined brightly.

When I heard his words, on the other hand, I took a step back without thinking. Mason's knife pierced the empty air when I shifted from the previous position in front of me.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye under the gravitational force.

"This guy..." I said. He planned to utilize his last ounce of strength in a magical spell.

PFFF

Mason Terrell plummeted into the ground again in the next second due to gravitational pressure.

Seeing this, I used stats to check his vitality once more. When the point reached 0, the vitality dropped dramatically. I could tell he ran out of air.

I dispelled my magic after confirming it.

"Phew," this person tried to be too clever just now. Fortunately, I'm not hindered in my own magical field.

My gaze was drawn to his body. A good plan occurs to me. I cut his communication watch and storage bracelet from his wrist with my knife. Then I started going through all of his other possessions.

Aside from the storage band, nothing valuable was discovered in his body.

Following that, I dragged his body in the opposite direction to dispose of it. The stench of his death will soon draw a swarm of monsters to this location.

So, after disposing of the corpse, I moved quickly. My gaze was drawn to distant mountainous summits. I need to traverse this wide plain first to get there.

Then, all of a sudden, I remembered something. I removed his communication watch.

Looking at the active signal, I realized it could be used as a beaker. I threw it aside after realizing and I decided to check on his storage bracelet later.

Time passed.

I kept walking along the plains. I walked through various difficult, tight trails, boulders, and pits. With the exception of a few trees here and there, I could see the entire plain.

To obtain some perspective, I reviewed the map. This map contains no danger points. That seems strange to me. I'm guessing this map isn't completely accurate. You can only obtain half of the truth.

So I didn't let down my guard, even if the vast plain appeared to be devoid of monsters. After a short way, I discovered an excellent area to rest. The journey has been peaceful so far.

Sitting down on a rock, I started to ponder. Fortunately, I have not yet encountered a monster.

Then I remembered Mason Terrell, I considered checking into his bracelet.

My mental fortitude is impressive. So it didn't require much effort on my part. I noticed the piled-up stuff after getting my mind within the bracket.

Only a few of the items are familiar to me. Crystal gems, restorative potions, and monster repelling powder are all included. My lips curved into a faint smile. These items will undoubtedly come in handy if I decide to travel further.

My attention was drawn to a few metallic boxes beside it. My heart then tinged with intrigue. I quickly took it outside to look at it.
