Chapter 69 - 69. The 5th Gate (1/2)

Mack, seeing his objective of attracting a lot of 'people' was accomplished, raised his two hands and touched both palms together as if he was prayng.

A red flash of light came from him, and everything stopped moving.

Mack put his right hand over his sword handle by the belt and started walking inside the city.

No one stopped him..

It was not like they could anyway.

While walking, Mack gave a look to the faces of those men and womens. And they seemed a mix of warriors and mages and common people.

'Maybe thats how a small city looks like outside Earth.'

Mack saw this and with a glance understood what his ancestor was aiming in this gate.

For him to understand the ins and outs of power structure in a mage city.

~sigh~

Mack could not believe the naivety of his ancestor.

The only power sctructe in the world was power itself. The more you had, the more you can demand from others.

For Mack, power had no face, could be money, could be strength, could be influence. But Mack knew, once you have one, you have all.

There was no need for him to try to mix and learn how mages interacted or their own rules etc.

He only needed to be powerfull.

And the rest was for him to take, or destroy.

Thought Mack while snapping his finger.

And like magic, all people around him vanished in thin air.

They were all light constructs. And Mack was tired of fake people.

'Come to me'

Thought Mack, and all the red Essence around the town came back to him while the pendants and armors and clothes fell to the ground because Mack was deactivating his Domain Runespell.

Mack waited a few seconds and as expected there was no powerfull mages here like the Archmage from the previous gate.

Mack took a few steps and entered the now deserted small town.

He only removed the light constructs while all the rest he left intact.

After walking a few meters inside the town, Mack saw a restaurant and moved to it.

Finally he would be able to eat something different from those warlock white burritos.

Entering the restaurant, Mack looked around and seated in a table, the still warm and untouched food of someone else was there.

'Lucky finally'

Thought Mack, already grabbing some metal sticks by the side of the plate and devouring the food.

[If you keep this behavior you will learn nothing about mages]
