Chapter 546 Part 38: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
Outside,
The wizard groups waiting outside are staring at the leaderboard rankings. Vincent’s name was getting higher in the ranks. Though the speed of floor clearance was not as fast as before.
But still, his current performance is making everyone afraid. While others are watching, some of the groups are wondering about their Senior Students.
The disappearance of Henry Barlow began to attract the attention of the Weapon Hall wizards. Their higher-ups have blocked the news.
So the students were unaware of Henry Barlow’s demise.
Time passed by,
Vincent Carey’s name once again claimed up the ladder. This time Vincent is on the 60th floor. The mood of the people below is down.
Some of them came here for fun. While others were sent down to keep an eye on Vincent’s performance.
Nobody knows what’s happening. But people can sense a strange atmosphere prevailing among the bloodline wizards.
…
From MC’s Perspective:
[Floor 60: Cleared]
[The next challenge would start tomorrow]
The announcement sounded. Right after, I grabbed the recovery potion before stepping out of the Battle Tower.
As usual, there are a lot of people present today. But why do I feel something has changed?
“Hmmm,” I furrowed my eyebrows before turning toward the leaderboard ranking. Finally, my name was higher. 60 floors ah? There are 40 more floors to go.
A faint smile appeared on my face. No matter what kind of monster it is? As long as I find their loophole, I will manage to kill the monster.
Then I shifted my gaze and decided to walk out of this place.
Not long after, the wizard groups vacated the spot. Some of them immediately posted the news on the academy’s social media site.
Soon, I reached the dorm room. After entering inside, I went to take a shower.
The following day,
9 A.M
I walked out of the dorm room. Don’t know why? I thought about visiting my Senior Sister first. But when I went to the Sub-Taboo Hall to see. She was not there.
Seeing that I felt something is not right. Then I tried contacting her. But she is not picking up the call.
After pondering, I decided to complete the trial first. When I entered the Battle Tower Area. The place was crowded as well.
Earlier, Senior Gilbert had warned me. That people would come to find me for trouble. But nothing sort of happened.
Even there is no sign of Tony Burnett. I’m sure he is not the type of person who forgives.
After pushing down these thoughts, I started walking to the Battle Tower. My appearance caught their attention.
And the wizard students gave me a way to walk forward. Ignoring them, I reached the Battle Tower and stepped inside.
[Floor: 61]
I found myself standing on the new land. I turned around to see the environment. It’s a hot desert. There was no sign of green patches here.
There are dunes here. Seeing that my curiosity about the monster has increased.
Grrall~
Not long after, I heard the growling sound.
Hearing that I abruptly stopped my movements. Then I turned around to find the source.
Then I spotted a monster walking on the surface of the dunes. Seeing the appearance of the monster. I felt an unknown danger.
This was the same case with the soul-sucking monster. Since the environment is real so the monster must be real it’s not a phantom.
Seeing that monster is judging me. I decided to take this opportunity to probe the monster.
“System, probe the monster in front of me,” I said to the system.
[Ding! The Host’s voice is recognized]
[Status Panel]
[Name: Evil Flame Fox]
[Level: 6th-Order- Mid]
[Strength: 556]
[Vitality: 553]
[Speed: 554]
[Stamina: 557]
[Skill: Fire breath, Fast Speed, Deadly Claws, Evil Gaze]
The row of information appeared in front of my eyes. I immediately looked at the skill set that monster has.
Apart from the “Evil Gaze” skill the rest of the skills are not that life-threatening. I don’t know whether the Evil Gaze skill is related to a soul attack.
By the time, I went through the details. The monster got closer to me. When the fox monster raises its claw against me.
“Repulsive Force” I cast the magic spell in response.
The powerful repulsive force is released from the body. Right after, the magic spell hits the claw of the monster. Causing the monster to stumble backward.
The flame fox is a 6th-order middle-stage monster. So it quickly manages to get back on its feet.
The next moment, the Fox monster released the flame breath targeting the enemy.
A dense red flame shot at me. The flame is releasing blazing heat. Anyone comes into contact with such flames. He would turn into ashes.
Seeing that my eyes flickered. Then I cast the repulsive magic spell in a hurry.
Boom~
The blazing red-hot flame was countered by the repulsive magic. The red flame wasn’t able to pass the repulsive force.
So the flame broke into pieces in the air. The flame pieces scattered on the ground like fireworks.
Swoosh~ 𝚍o𝚟𝚕.org
The cunning fox uses its swift movement to attack the enemy. The speed was so fast that it reached the enemy within a second.
I kept my eyes on the monster. But its sudden breaking out of the fast speed was not within my calculation.
The monster attacked me with its claws. Just before I wanted to disappear. The attack hits me.
Boom~
The power of the 6th-order mid-stage monster sent me backward like a broken kite. I crashed into the nearby dunes.
Argh~
A muffled grunt escaped from my mouth. Even though I’m wearing the magic cloak. I felt the impact.
The monster has higher attributes than me. Combining with the monster’s skill set. It’s not easy to kill the monster by normal means. So in a confrontation, it’s difficult to win against the monster.
After figuring it out, I tried to stand up. Right now, I can only make the monster succumb to the gravitational force.
The fox monster saw the enemy was fine. A quick glint flashes in a monster’s eyes. The next second the monster’s eyes turned pitch black.
