Gravity Mage with Level-Up System Chapter 1907 1907: Everything Ended Well
Previously on Gravity Mage with Level-Up System...
Inside a humble stone house.
"Young man, I didn't expect to see you here so soon," Old Man Barry remarked.
His words immediately heightened my caution. I directed the system to scan him, but the results returned negative.
Putting my suspicion aside for a moment, I walked past him and entered the room. There, I found the little girl lying in the bed.
Her complexion remained unchanged. A quick system check revealed she had only ten days left to live.
Fortunately, I had managed to return just in time.
Old Man Barry followed me into the room. Upon seeing me, he recognized that I possessed a mysterious background.
However, the Wizard Raymond Family was no minor power either; they boasted an Elder-level ancestor. This was why he had held back his actions earlier.
He intended to observe my next move. Otherwise, he would have already paid a visit to the Raymond Estate.
It was precisely because of that Elder-level powerhouse that he restrained himself.
I sensed Old Man Barry's scrutiny and let out an internal sneer. This old man was concealing something from me, and his true intentions remained unclear.
However, he was destined for disappointment.
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, I had brought Young Master Raymond outside. He appeared stunned, glancing around before his gaze settled upon me.
Raymond's pupils contracted. He then noticed the little girl and the old man standing at the doorway.
"Look at the girl. She was implicated by your magic. Take back the dark poison," I instructed him.
Upon hearing my words, Raymond gathered his thoughts. Suppressing his fear, he looked towards the little girl.
Old Man Barry was taken aback. He recognized the young man.
"Raymond," he exclaimed in anger.
Boom!
Instantly, a monstrous coercion erupted from Old Man Barry's body, striking the stone house.
The stone house disintegrated into rubble.
Raymond was astonished. He hadn't anticipated the old man's aggressive move, though he had long perceived the latter's strength.
He worried that the coercion might strike the masked individual, potentially offending the power behind him.
Meanwhile, I shielded the little girl from the oppressive force.
Raymond froze in surprise.
Swoosh!
In the next moment, Raymond appeared before the old man, extending his hand as dark mana surged from his palm.
Boom!
The dark mana effortlessly nullified the coercion and suppressed Old Man Barry.
"Old man, if you make another move, you will die," Raymond declared in a cold tone.
Old Man Barry trembled. He hadn't expected to be so easily subdued; he found himself completely immobilized.
Barry then managed to calm his heart and regain his composure.
Seeing this, Raymond let out a snort and returned to the child's side.
He observed her condition and understood the situation immediately.
His earlier anger dissipated. He then touched her hand and began a magic spell.
A black magic circle materialized beneath his index finger. Soon after, the circle began to absorb the dark mana poison from the child's body.
The little girl, still unconscious, stirred slightly in pain. Slowly, a dark liquid seeped from her body, being promptly absorbed by the black magic circle.
On my end, I nodded in approval. Raymond was fulfilling his role and not reneging on his word. Just as I had suspected, he could indeed reclaim the dark mana from the victim's body.
This saved us a considerable amount of trouble, eliminating the need to seek assistance elsewhere.
Old Man Barry was overcome with joy, tears streaming down his face. He hadn't anticipated Raymond's arrival, and now his descendant was being saved.
All of this was thanks to the masked man. He was now certain that the masked man possessed a terrifying background.
He had even managed to make the Young Master of the Raymond Family comply.
Time flowed onward.
Gradually, all the dark poison liquid was expelled from the little girl's body. Though weak, she was now out of danger.
Raymond let out a sigh of relief, his joy palpable. The girl's safety meant his own salvation.
Old Man Barry approached the girl, personally examining her condition. Seeing that she was unharmed, he was utterly astonished.
"Thank you, Young Master, for saving my descendant," Old Man Barry expressed to Raymond.
A flicker of light flashed in Raymond's eyes.
"You should be thanking him," Raymond stated.
Old Man Barry turned his gaze toward the masked man. He found himself speechless, unable to articulate his thoughts, especially considering he had concealed information from him.
Meanwhile, I saw through the old man's internal turmoil.
"The little girl is saved now. Take care of her. I must depart." With that said, I turned to Raymond.
"You can return to your estate. Your family must be looking for you. But remember, tell no one. Just say you went to a mountain range to practice," I advised him.
Raymond shuddered slightly and nodded his head firmly.
Observing this, Old Man Barry was stunned. He couldn't begin to describe his inner astonishment. He had never witnessed such a reaction from Young Master Raymond before.
If the people in the capital were to learn of this, they would surely be speechless.
"Excellent," I declared.
Instantly, I departed. In a blur, I ascended into the sky, casting one final glance at the location before resuming my travels.
A supreme relic was obtained from this place. It seems I balanced the scales by helping the girl. A grin spread across my face as I set my sights on the Opal Magic Forest.
My intention was to proceed without any detours.
Raymond felt the spectral blade of doom lift from his neck. He then turned his attention to the young girl, who remained unconscious.
He proceeded to retrieve valuable healing items. Among them was an uncommon blue fruit, esteemed for its gentle efficacy. Its inherent energy was mild, making it safe for anyone to consume.
He carefully placed a few fragments of the fruit into the little girl's mouth. A wave of azure energy coursed into her being.
The energy circulated within her, and she began to regain her vitality through the blue essence.
Her complexion showed improvement, and her mind and spirit were also revitalized.
Her eyelids fluttered open, and she surveyed her surroundings.
Raymond offered a reassuring smile, stating, "From this moment on, no further attacks will occur. You are all safe to live in tranquility."
With those words, he exited the stone dwelling. Raymond felt an urgency to speak with his father, concerned that the capital might be in chaos.
