From MC's Perspective:
I continued to observe the underground shelter. I used the system again to confirm the wizard's strength.
The system revealed that the dying, frail, and elderly person was a level-9 wizard. This result brought me relief.
Since the dying wizard was a level-9 wizard, he was not the wanted criminal. Nevertheless, I decided to plunder his valuables.
It had been some time since I last killed someone for this.
"Swoosh!"
I retreated a few steps backward, putting a couple hundred meters between me and the underground shelter.
I wasn't sure if the wizard hiding inside had sensed my presence. I waited for a few seconds.
There was no sound coming from the shelter. Deciding to act, I prepared to cast a magic spell.
"Gravity Blast!"
A wisp of gray-colored magic shot from my forefinger, amplified to the sixth stage.
The spell streaked in a straight line and struck the top cover of the underground shelter.
Boom!
