Chapter 126 - A Grand Scheme That Will Overturn Ortus (5) (1/2)

The man had fair skin that exuded a somewhat above average feel about him, wore a clean orange-shaded black cloak with dark-grey lining along the clothe's edges. The waistcoat inside the cloak was deep orange in color interlined with silver-orange trims.

It appeared that the man was wearing some kind of uniform that made him look more civilized than any creatures Jeremy had met so far.

The man's particularly notable features were his well-defined face, slim cheekbones, celestial nose, not so thin lips, and medium length, straight, deep brunette hair, which was un-styled with the hair tip shaded in bright-orange color. After all those features combined with his large amber-orange eyes and sharp black eyebrows, he was not bad-looking in the least.

At this moment, the man in uniform finally arrived inside the hidden chamber. The first thing he did was to turn around to see if the spear user had already gone or not.

After seeing no one else was within the room, the man in uniform could finally feel relaxed...

*Sigh...*

He eventually let out a sigh of relief...

Then he said mumbled to himself with a serious expression plastered on his face,

”The human-disguised monster has finally left. After leaving this place, I have to report to sir Yuriy as soon as possible.”

When Jeremy had heard the man's mumbling, he raised one eyebrow and thought ponderingly to himself,

'Hmm...? He knows about my real strength, so he must have observed me and my battles against monsters for he to know such a thing. That's strange... I didn't feel a thing of being observed at all; how did he do it? Also, who is this sir Yuriy?'

Jeremy's deduction was right on the spot because, from the man's speech, it appeared that he had indeed observed Jeremy, using an unknown method, for quite some time as the man knew pretty clearly how strong Jeremy was.

That should also be why the man in uniform didn't dare to attack Jeremy and only wanted the latter to leave here as soon as possible in the first place...

To be honest, the man really wanted to leave this place and escape from the abominable spear wielder so badly, but he couldn't do so...

At first, when he saw Jeremy go inside the hard trial and come out alive, he felt very tense as the battle between him and the latter would be pretty intense and bloody.

Be that as it may, he had thought about many strategies to fight the spear wielder beforehand, but all those had eventually come to naught in one single moment.

The one single moment was that after seeing how Jeremy fought against the giant spider, he had to change his mind without any choice.

After all, he had seen how the abominable man fought against the giant spider using a moving cast spell.

At the end of the day, a moving cast was a feat that only a very high-class mage could do...

Even if sir Yuriy came here personally, he might not win against the spear wielder and come out of here alive...

Thus, how could a puny class-1 mage like him have any thought of battling against someone at that level?

However, he really had no choice as he had to stay within this chamber for one more cycle, which was a whopping six hours. The reason was that it was stated very clearly within the tutorial mission that he couldn't leave here until six hours after the tenth horde of monsters had ended.

Finally, having confirmed that the spear wielder had left the place, the man in uniform promptly turned back, preparing to leave the hidden chamber to take a short rest before teleporting out of here in some hours.

Still...

The man ultimately stopped in track as if he had suddenly recalled something very crucial,

'Hmm... Wait!! He is a high-class mage, but why did he act like a dumb kid, talking and shouting to himse...'

Before the man could finish his thought...

*Whoosh*

A whooshing noise came out of nowhere, moving swiftly towards the man's left flank...
