Chapter 278 Future Threat
(From MC's perspective)
The diluted potion was effective beyond my belief. When the effectiveness was over, I slowly opened my eyes. My head feels far lighter than before. My mind is crystal clear. There is no more splitting headache.
Then I got up and thanked Elder John. If not for him, my injury wouldn't have been solved that easily.
John Meyers gleamed with a twinkle. "The diluted potion is more effective than I thought," he said with a smile.
Then suddenly he remembered something. "Oh, right. I bought a gift for you," he added further.
Hearing that my eyes gleamed with interest.
The next second, Elder John takes out a familiar object from his storage bracelet.
"Meteor rock," I blurted out in surprise. At the same time seeing the meteor, I feel great hunger from my sacred gravity core.
Feeling that my heart rate began to rise. This is the same familiar feeling when I consumed that meteor rock last time.
But this time the hunger is even more. I can't wait to snatch it from his hands.
On the other hand, John Meyers sees an excited expression of Vincent. Then he sighed inwardly, "Looks like my previous assumption was right. The meteor rock country might be the treasure land for Vincent Carey."
At this moment, he decided to share some secrets about the meteor country. But before that, he wants to see the usefulness of this thing.
Then he handed over the meteor rock to Vincent right away.
On the other hand, I carefully observed the meteor rock. When I was lost in thoughts, I heard Elder's request.
"Vincent, if you don't mind. I want to see the effect of this meteor rock," John Meyer said.
I frowned. Isn't it too much to show interest in others' secrets? But I quickly thought of something. This meteor rock is nothing less than that of those super relics.
And what is more important is that this meteor rock is tailor-made for me. In my current situation, this meteor rock will give me paramount strength.
So It's not wise to decline the request. Then I suddenly thought about revealing my rank 2 level after quickly absorbing the meteor rock.
In that way, I can reduce people's suspicion about my strength. The more I think about it, the idea seems more feasible to me.
Then looking at him, I replied with a smile, "Alright, Elder. Can I use it now?"
John Meyers looked at Vincent with more appreciation. He knew his request was too much. But this meteor rock is related to the meteor country.
For Vincent's future development. He wants to confirm something in his own eyes. Then he nodded at Vincent to try.
On the other hand, I sat cross-legged to observe the meteor rock. I feel the vibration from my sacred gravity core. I believe after absorption my sacred gravity core and sacred physique will be improved by leaps and bounds.
I closed my eyes and placed my palm on the meteor core. Then I started the gravity ark method.
Slowly, I began to feel the mysterious energy from the meteor rock. I feel it's close to the gravity mana. But at the same time, I feel the grade of mysterious energy is many times higher than that of gravity mana around the surroundings.
While Vincent is absorbing, John Meyers is shocked to the core. "Direct absorption," he said in his heart. This operation made him stunned. He had assumed Vincent would do some process before using the meteor rock.
But he has to say that sub-taboo magic overturned his views. He remembered certain scenes from his memories. Where countless researchers in that meteor country were doing experiments to find the direct consumption method of the meteor rocks in that country.
Recalling those scenes, he couldn't help but suck a cold breath of air. He felt fortunate that he was witnessing this scene before anyone else.
If those mad researchers from meteor countries viewed this scene, they can't imagine what would happen. At least war would break out between the countries.
Recalling the certain existence in the alliance. His heart set off storms. An extremely powerful wizard sitting in a high-ranking position in the council and he also hails from a meteor country.
If that existence knows about this then he won't hesitate to abduct Vincent Carey's body for the forbidden experiment.
At this moment, John Meyers felt fortunate that the meteor rock was his collection. And nobody knows about this.
If Vincent acts carefully in future, then his secret won't be leaked outside. Then he can use the resources available in the academy to develop smoothly.
Once Vincent reaches Rank 6 or above. Then there will be no danger. He doesn't think that alliance would sit and watch the abduction of the level-6 wizard for forbidden experiments.
On the other hand, the mysterious energies gathered inside my sacred gravity core after some circulation. The moment, the mysterious energies entered my core. The sacred gold runes on the core walls started to flicker.
The powerful gold runes frantically absorb the mysterious energies. Now I understand where I felt the hunger from. This was a familiar feeling. After complete absorption. I can expect development in my sacred physique.
Time passes in a blink of an eye.
One hour later, the meteor rock completely turned into ashes. The mysterious gravity energies were completely absorbed.
When my mind lands on the core of my body. I felt goosebumps all over my body. This time the gold runes are big compared to the last time on the core walls.
And the fist-size core sits in the middle of the core region shining with bright gold light. This fist size rock is the heart of the core. And it's the mark of my level-2 rank.
After feeling satisfaction from the core development. I looked at my blood, bones and organs. I don't know whether it's an illusion or not. But I see similar gold runes all over my organs, blood and bones.
But I have a feeling in my heart that in the future my whole body will be covered with gold runes. And I believe this is in line with the name of the sacred gravity physique.
I won't be surprised. If I become similar to those elemental wizards. Breaking away from my mortal status.
Before opening my eyes, I decided to reveal my strength as a level-2 wizard. In this way, he won't be suspicious of my overwhelming strength.
Then I instructed the system, "System, turn off my veil."
After saying that I got up and turned. A quick glint flashed in my eyes. "Why is his face filled with horror?" I furrowed my eyebrows in surprise.
John Meyers senses the level-2 breath from Vincent Carey. "This?" He is shocked to the core. It took him some time to digest the information.
He suddenly realized something. He recalled the information about Vincent's classmates. Like Victoria Shields, Danny Quinn and Brent Dale. Three of them were level-2 wizards.
Now he understands the strength of the kid. He feels no surprise by Vincent's win. "So you previously reached the rank of level -1 peak," he uttered in surprise.
In response, I reveal a small smile on my face. My plan succeeded. In this way, he won't be curious about my strength in future.
Suddenly, John Meyers's expression turned solemn. He looked at Vincent and said, "I had never expected the meteor rock would be this useful to you."
Hearing that I asked, "Elder John, can I get similar meteor rocks in future?"
"This," John revealed a complicated expression on his face.
"Do you remember Meteor country?" Then John Meyer asked.
Hearing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
Meteor country? Of course, I knew about it. Last time, he was the one who instilled in me some details. And the meteor rock is the exclusive item of the meteor country.
I don't know why? He brings up the topic again. Has something happened?
Then nodded my head in response.
John Meyers sighed and said, "You know many researchers in that meteor country were trying to find a way to absorb the meteor rock. Your life will be threatened if they know about your ability."
Hearing that my expression changes drastically. Because there is some truth in his words. "Elder, I'm a gravity wizard and it's normal for me to absorb the energies from the meteor rock."
John Meyers shook his head in denial. He then answered, "I understand. But do you think they care about that? To get valuable research subjects, they will do anything. Even its highly talented wizard, some people won't even hesitate to dig up the graves."
Hiss!
I sucked a cold breath of air. Why does the meteor country sound like an evil country? Looks like the country is more dangerous than the dark league organization.
John Meyers sees a worried expression of Vincent. He said, "Don't worry, it's a good thing that I came to know about it. Otherwise, it would be too late to stop people's assumptions."
Hearing that I calmed down my heart. It's not like I'm totally scared. Earlier, I can skip ranks and be able to kill the level-5 wizard. Now I'm sure that I can escape unscathed from the pursuit of the level-6 wizard.
But at the same time, I don't want the attention of the entire world on me.
