Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 604 Part 2: Unknown metal room

Before they knew it half of level-5 wizards had fallen down to the ground.

Mark's expression turned ugly when he saw the situation. He then made a decision to fully blast open it.

Boom~

The 5 level-6 wizards acted by releasing rule-based attacks. The unknown metal door wasn't able to block the attack.

Then it fell backwards down on the ground.

Swoosh~

Smoke rose from the ground and started to sweep away the hidden tunnel.

Then 5 of them quickly retreated backward to check everyone's condition. The unknown gas didn't cause any damage apart from the nauseating feeling.

But it's different for level-5 wizards. The level-5 wizards' mana core and mind are not well protected.

A few minutes later,

The unknown gas receded. But the expressions of the group leaders are ugly.

"Everyone's mana core and mind has been polluted," Daisy said in a solemn tone.

All of them are juniors, brothers and sisters of their academy. And it's the group leader's responsibility to safeguard everyone.

But because of their self interest, they put everyone else 's lives at risk.

"We are hasty," Mark said with a sigh.

"Didn't you agree as well," Rosy retorted back.

She did expect some dangers. But she thought they would be some dark type monsters.

But instead the unknown gas caught them off guard.

On the other hand, Rina and May are affected as well. But they didn't completely lose their consciousness.

But looking at the aftermath a hint of fear rose in hearts.

"Thank goodness, I listened to you. Otherwise,?I would have fainted as well," She said in a trembling tone.

Tina's heart was not calm at all. She can tell that Senior brothers and sisters have understood the risk. But still they didn't stop.

She hoped to get back to the academy soon.

On the other hand, the decision has been made. Mark and Rosy have decided to explore further.

While Daisy and others will look after the level-5 wizards.

After the decision has been made. Mark and Rosy walked over the fallen door. The area is still dark.

But both of them can perceive everything in the darkness. When they walked a few distances in the future. They finally saw a wide opening.

Where the hidden tunnel comes to an end.

Mark and Rosy looked at each other before increasing their pace. Both of them have their own thoughts in their mind.

When they entered the structure. Then they started to look around. The walls, floors and ceiling. Everything is made up of unknown metal including the door.

But apart from that the place was empty.

"What is this place?" Rosy asked herself.

Mark's eyes flickered. He observed the building structure. There were no other rooms except this opening area.

Then a strange thought comes to his mind.

"Storage Unit," He said in his heart. Long time ago, mining was done in the crown forest. But later the record disappeared.

But no one knows the exact place. Everyone is speculating that mine is located at the center of the crown forest.

Right now, Mark thinks that the place is connected to the mine.

Rosy saw the contemplating expression of Mark.

"Did you find something?" She asked.

Hearing that Mark's thoughts returned to reality. Looking at her, he said," We need to check whether any hidden door is located."

Rosy nodded before they started checking from the walls.

Time went by,

25 minutes later,

Under the darkness, they have checked the nook and corner of this opening room. But there was no sign of the hidden room.

Mark was unwilling. He strongly feels that there must be another hidden path.

"Why don't we call others?"

"I don't think we can push the door by using our strength," Rosy said.

Hearing that Mark frowned for a moment before nodding his head.

On the other hand, Rina and May are taking care of their friends. Everyone is trying recovery potions to see whether there are any effects.

"There is still some bad gas lingering in this place," May said in a solemn tone. She was better than before. Her trembling has stopped.

But still the unknown gas is affecting everyone.

"Don't worry, we will leave soon," Rina tried to calm her.

"Why don't you ask our Senior brother?" May asked.

Rina furrowed her eyebrows. Senior Brother Mark and Sister Rosy have gone further for inspection.

There is no reply from them. Just as she is worrying. She saw Senior Sister Rosy stand up from the ground and speak to the other group leader.

After a few minutes, three of them left as well.

"What's going on?" Rina said in heart. Not only her, everyone else noticed this situation.

Meanwhile,

Shortly after, Daisy and others arrived in this room.

"Wow, what a huge room?" Daisy swept her eyes across the room.

Looking at the empty room, her eyes flickered.

"Did you guys find anything?" Daisy asked.

The other 2 group leaders became excited as well.

"Harumph!"

"Stop it," Rosy said with a snort.

Mark then explained the situation. Disappointed flashes in three of their eyes.

Then Daisy seemed to think of something.

"What about the strange gas?"

"Where does it come from?" Daisy raised the question.

Then a quick realization dawned on everyone's face.

"There must be a leak," Mark said with certainty. It's impossible for gas to form out of nowhere. It must be coming from some place.

Then he once again swept his eyes across the room.

...

From MC's perspective:

I stepped down to enter the underground path. Then I saw the path is indeed leading somewhere under the ground.

Then I noticed the footprints on the ground. Which tells me that everyone has entered this place.

A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. Then I started walking along the path.

Time went by,

After 20 minutes of walking, I'm starting to smell something different in the air.

[Ding! Warning]

[Host is advised not to inhale the polluted gas]

A mechanical voice sounded in my mind. Ignoring that I continued walking along this path.

As the seconds passed, the air seemed terrible.
