Novel Full Chapter 452 Progress
Chapter 452 Progress
The increase in the difficulty of the fourth floor and the fifth floor was too drastic!
“Fine… Let’s do this!” Despite the mounting fear and the overwhelming odds, Susan gritted her teeth as she entered her Elemental State, summoned every ounce of courage within her, and prepared to engage in a battle against the demonic being.
Rooaaar!
The goat-head creature charged forward.
“Bring it on!”
Susan used the Elemental Spells at her disposal. She launched a barrage of spells, aiming to weaken and subdue her formidable opponent.
Most of the spells she had thrown were Tier 1 Spells like Heat Wave, Fireball, Wind Blade, and Piercing Gust.
However, the goat-headed creature ignored all these Spells and charged forward…
Bam! Bam! Bam!
All the spells hit their target, but the creature didn’t budge!
Realizing that Tier 1 Spells weren’t effective, she quickly used her movement spell, Wind Haste, to swiftly avoid the enormous creature that was wielding a sword.
“Tsk… I’ll just delay as much as I can. There was no way those other students could kill something like this.” Susan said as she accepted the fact that she’d be defeated by this creature. Even without using his Spell Fusion, she could tell that it would be useless against her opponent.
Furthermore, if she used her Spell Fusion, she would spend a lot of energy, and she might be defeated a lot faster. It was better to use her remaining power to preserve her strength.
She could only hope that she would last the longest on this floor.
Boom! 𝙡𝓪.𝒄
She was able to dodge another one of its attacks, but the rubbles that were thrown everywhere almost hit her. Luckily, she was able to defend against it with her Wind Shield.
‘I need to do something…’ Susan said in her mind as she couldn’t just continue running away. She had to at least slow down the movement of the creature.
She threw a few Tier 1 Spells that could restrict the movement of the demonic being… If they didn’t work, she would continue to use other Elemental Spells to block its vision and to hide her presence.
Unfortunately, after more than 4 minutes of battle, she already ran out of Elemental Energy!
The creature was unstoppable and didn’t seem capable of getting tired!
After a few more seconds of fierce combat, Susan found herself completely overpowered by the sheer strength and ferocity of the demonic being.
With one swift motion of its colossal sword, it struck her down, ending her valiant struggle.
“I tried…” This was her thought before her vision went black.
In an instant, Susan was expelled from the Tower, her body engulfed in a blinding light as she was transported back to the outside world.
Exhausted and disheartened, she took a moment to catch her breath and reflect on her encounter with the demonic creature.
‘It was indeed unfair like Avery had said… If the fifth floor was already like that, then it was no wonder the highest floor on record was the 8th floor.’ With a sigh, Susan accepted the treatment of the medical practitioners who had immediately come to assist her.
“That was a good job, Susan… You quickly finished the first floor up to the fourth floor… You also lasted longer than Avery on the fifth floor. It’s guaranteed that you have a better result than him.” One of the seniors in her Academy said in a comforting tone.
“Thank you… I hope that my performance was enough to get into the top three.”
Although her attempt had ended in defeat, Susan knew that the Tower was a place of immense challenges and trials. It tested the limits of one’s abilities and pushed individuals to their breaking points.
It means that not just anyone could pass through the fifth floor, and she believed that it wouldn’t happen for the fourth-year and fifth-year batches at the very least.

The next student was Lexie Steen. She was from the Psychic Arts Academy and someone Vale was interested in.
It was unfortunate that he couldn’t see her Combat Power yet, as he needed to make physical contact with them.
That’s right, Vale could also see the Combat Power of someone else, thanks to the Upgraded Version of his System. However, he had to touch them physically, like he was trying to trigger his Extraction System.
He had already tried this with Maya, Philip, and others in the Vermont Academy whom he had met a while ago but not with the fellow participants of this Competition.
Most of them are averaging 200,000 in Combat Power. He couldn’t help but wonder how strong Lexie was.
Anyway, Vale soon realized why he felt wary of Lexie… She didn’t take that long to reach the fifth floor!
The other students and professors were also quite surprised by her performance.
Then, they saw the lights of the fifth floor lit up for a while.
Whom~
After ten long minutes, the light flickered once again. Vale and the others thought that Lexie would come out but to everyone’s surprise, she actually ascended to the 6th floor!
Whispers and murmurs reverberated throughout the crowd as they marveled at Lexie’s seemingly unstoppable ascent…
“What? She cleared the fifth floor?”
“No way! Even some seventh-year students couldn’t reach the sixth floor.”
“Is she going to win this competition?”
“If Princess Ceres stumbled… Then, she might really win this contest.”
“Lexie is definitely the winner of this Competition.”
The spotlight had shifted to Lexie, and the audience began to speculate about her chances of emerging victorious in the Competition.
As the commotion settled, Vale couldn’t help but anticipate what was about to happen.
“She did it!”
After Lexie stayed for about 20 minutes on the sixth floor, one student from the Psychic Arts Academy shouted…
This had certainly excited everyone as Lexie Steen continued to defy expectations by clearing not only the sixth floor but also ascending to the seventh floor…
She didn’t have any plans to give up, which gained a lot of respect from the audience. After all, if she got “killed” on the seventh floor, the rewards she had gathered from the lower floors had a high chance of being lost.
It means that Lexie truly wants to reach the higher floors for glory and not just for the rewards. 𝑖𝘦.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Everyone was left in awe of her astonishing progress.
