Revolution of the 8th Class Mage - Chapter 68

Chapter 68

24  Dark Veil (2)

‘What is this place… . . ?’

After diagonally tunneling through, the outside was reached .

To his surprise, it appeared completely different than what he had imagined .

It was nothing, but a wide open ‘flat’ prairie land .

Nothing, but a wide prairie filled with only grass .

There were cliffs all around .

Has the earth been risen up?

‘No, wait . ’

It wasn’t risen up .

It was floating in the air in the first place .

That is, a piece of earth was ‘levitating’ in the air .

A bundle of clouds nearby has assured him .

It was a ‘levitating’ earth that has never been heard or seen before .

What is this place?

‘A human?’

Ian has recovered from confusion .

He located someone in the distance .

A man was sitting at the edge of a cliff .

At a quick glance, it appeared to be a human being .

He was sitting in a very precarious way .

‘What is that?’

Ian felt somewhat confused .  He came to this place chasing after his curiosity and feeling that something would be here .  But, he has discovered stranger things that were beyond expectations .  A wide, levitating prairie that was as high as to reach the clouds and even an unidentifiable human being .

‘This definitely looked suspicious . ’

He thought it to be suspicious .

As that would be the normal expected reaction .

However, his mind wasn’t having such a feeling at all .

Although it was hard to explain, he felt at peace .

With the entire landscape that came into his view,

And even that person, too .

‘Is it witchcraft?’

There was a high probability that that’s what it would be .  No, he was certain .

The problem was that even though he believed it to be witchcraft for certain, he wasn’t able to overcome it .  Ian doesn’t easily get tricked by witchcraft .   At least, once he detects witchcraft, he was always able to overcome it .  However,

‘He can’t feel it . ’

The power of witchcraft could not be detected .

It can only be overcome if there were physical evidences .

There would be only two reasons in such a case .

It wasn’t the effect of witchcraft to begin with

Or

‘The sorcerer is much stronger than me . ’

Ian is a 6th class mage .

He even possesses the knowledge of the 8th class .

No one would have stronger sorcery abilities than Ian .  At least there will be no one among the human beings .

‘If this was an effect of witchcraft,’ then there was only one answer .  The man that was still sitting on the edge of the cliff with his back showing, the ‘one who appears to be a human being’, that man must be the sorcerer of this witchcraft .

‘At a minimal, he would be comparable to my former self . ’

It had to be someone like the former Ian, that is, someone equivalent to an 8th class mage or with unlimited possibility of being greater than that .  That would be the only way to totally deceive Ian like this .

‘What if he was hostile towards me… . . ’

There was nowhere to run to .

It would mean a gamble for life in order to escape from that person .

Gulp!
