Chapter 125 - A Grand Scheme That Will Overturn Ortus (4) (2/2)

Afterward, Jeremy mumbled inaudibly to activate the prepared spell,

”[Space Elemental Spell - Space Distortion]”

Simultaneously, without any sign of any kind, Jeremy's body started fading away and eventually disappeared into thin air from within the hidden chamber in a few seconds, not leaving any trace nor trail behind.

There was neither mana fluctuation, turbulence within the air, flashiness from the mana, nor the higher space elemental concentration occurring within the vicinity at all.

At this moment, there was only the sudden disappearance of Jeremy's entire figure; even the steel spear in his hand had vanished into thin air along with him.

The entire process was truly bizarre, as if Jeremy had never been there before in the first place.

Consequently, the corner where Jeremy stood before appeared to be empty and desolate now.

'This is what a real spell looks like, mister ambusher...'

The now-invisible Jeremy thought amusingly within his mind while waiting patiently for his opponent to be caught in this deadly spring trap...

...

Two minutes later, within the hidden chamber...

Jeremy, who stood at the corner invisibly, suddenly felt a mana wave coming into the chamber from the outside, going past him and moving towards every corner of the room swiftly...

'A detection spell...'

Jeremy thought wonderingly while raising one of his eyebrows as it was clear that his enemy should be quite capable of casting a detection spell, which was at the very least equal or higher than a tier-1 spell.

The spell's effect was quite similar to the [Mana Wave Detection - Exploration] spell that Jeremy had used within the easy trial.

'But that won't work with my [Space Distortion] spell in the least. You need a higher level spell than that if you want to find me...'

Jeremy thought with a light smile.

To be frank, the spell the ambusher had used was also a tier-1 spell, the same as Jeremy's [Space Distortion]. Also, the enemy's detection spell was a null-elemental spell, or in other words, an elemental-less spell just like Jeremy's [Mana Wave Detection - Exploration] spell.

However, our former sage had already calculated thoroughly beforehand that the enemy would use an exploration spell of some sort to check if he was still here or not. So, he had chosen the best spell in preparation for such a situation not to make himself being discovered by the enemy.

Additionally, the space element was considered a rare-ranked element, which was ranked at the highest level of all elements... that was if the Divinity wasn't counted here.

As one of the highest-ranked elements, the space element tended to have a very unique side to it, which was in the early tiers of the space elemental spells, more than 80% of them would be auxiliary spells, whereas another 20% would be offensive and defensive spells, with only the minority of them being buff and debuff spells.

That meant Jeremy didn't have that many useful offensive space elemental spells to use against his enemy currently, as the space elemental spells he could use right now mainly were auxiliary spells.

Thus, Jeremy decided to go with an auxiliary spell that could counter the enemy's detection spell and, at the same time, was capable of hiding him inside the room to give the enemy a 'surprise' attack.

Concurrently, Jeremy's decision was proven to be right so far as the enemy's detection spell didn't discover him in the least as it only went past him like he was thin air.

As of now, the mana wave seemed to finish its work, causing the room to become normal and tranquil again.

However, such a serene atmosphere didn't last long as it was finally broken by the sudden footsteps of a certain someone...

*Flip-flop*

*Flip-flop*

The footsteps rang out from outside the hidden chamber, as it appeared that the noises were coming from the big chamber next to it.

The sounds came closer and closer with each passing second...

Soon, a figure wearing a black cloak stood at roughly six feet tall, promptly emerged from the hidden chamber's entrance.

Surprisingly, the emerging figure was actually... a male human.

'A human, huh. Not surprising at all, as I've guessed that such a clumsy spell casting like that should have come from a human, no less. Even a black dokkaebi can do better than that. What a disgrace...'

Upon seeing the ambusher, which happened to be a fellow human mage, Jeremy thought while shaking his head in disappointment at the man's inept spell casting, dark energy utilizing, and mana controlling capability.

Right now, the man seemed to be unaware of the looming danger lingering around him at all as he continued walking into the hidden chamber slowly until he finally arrived inside.

Simultaneously, Jeremy also used this chance to scrutinize the man, whom had just come inside the chamber and now stood roughly five meters away from him.
