From MC's Perspective:
Time passed,
The return journey was smooth. Since I knew the path. I didn't face any difficulties. Soon, I came to the territory of the mangrove monster in less than a day.
I had already faced attacks in this path. Now I'm going back. I'm expecting the attack from the Mangrove Monster again.
Before I was a level-8 Wizard. Now that I have broken though, I can easily kill the monster. For that I need to find its main body.
I had already wasted so much time in the forbidden area. I don't know what's going on in the magic city. The enemies must be waiting for me to emerge from the secret training.
But they didn't know I got my training from the forbidden area. I was just heading back down this narrow path.
Swoosh!
Dark roots came out of nowhere. At the same time, the system reminded me of the threat.
"Repulsive Force"
A powerful force burst forth from my body. Before the roots could reach my body.
Boom!
