(From Mc's Perspective)
After hearing the bird Monster's sound, I looked ahead and saw that it was a sparrow monster. Not just one, but five of them in total. Seeing them my mind begins to race fast to see how to tackle them. As I pondered it, one of the monsters reached me in the blink of an eye. I saw its steel like beaks and claws. Which is enough to cause me superficial injury.
I launched a lightning counter attack without knowing myself.
"Lightning Wheel"
A thunderous lightning wheel formed in an instant surrounding me. Just as the crackling sound resonates in the area, the sparrow monster gets alarmed. But it's too late to dodge the lightning wheel. As it's humongous body clashes with lightning wheel,
"Boom"
A defeating sound resonates in the area. The lightning power electrocuted its body, Here by injuring both of it's feathers. The bird monster with a muffled groan falls on the ground. Seeing it's companion get injured, the other bird monsters got alerted. They begin to circle around the sky.
On the other hand, seeing their behavior I sighed in relief. "Aleast, These monsters are not elemental one. By Having common attribute as metal, It's impossible to do anything to me." I whispered to myself. Having confidence back in myself, I stride towards the fallen bird monster. I grabbed my black sword and ended its life with a swift slash. As a result, the monster dies and dissipates into thin air.
After ending it's life, I glanced at other monsters flying above me. "How to kill those things, if they don't come down?" I wondered to myself. Fortunately, My lightning is effective as usual against commonly attributed class monsters. So, I need not to worry about wasting my lightning essence.
After sorting out my thoughts, I begin to ponder. These monsters already got alerted. They won't foolishly come down unlike it's companion. These two things I can do, either I have to blast it away with my lightning power or wait for an opportunity until it comes down.
Other than these two things I don't have any solution. Even with the second solution, I have my doubts. These bird monsters may seem real, but at the end of the day, they are just phantom spirits. "What would happen, if they continued to fly around." I wondered to myself. Then it would be trouble, if it becomes true.
I glanced at those bird monsters for a moment and decided to wait. I can only wait and confirm my assumption, whether those bird monsters have endless energy or not. Having my overbearing lightning power with me to attack, it will be a matter of time before I clear this floor and reach the 16th floor.

Inside the office cabin of City Lord,
City Lord Garry is currently viewing the inspection reports on his screen. It's been more than half an hour since the start of the star tower challenge event. Even in this half an hour, he got various news reports about suspicious activities. He knew some people can't wait to show their fangs.
For a moment his expression frowned a little, He tapped his screen to call someone and within a seconds his subordinates arrived in front of him. He gave a formal salute then waited for his command.
On the other hand, City Lord Garry nodded seeing him. He asked, "Conner, do any of them leave the city after participating in the challenge? " In usual star tower challenge events warriors can certainly leave the city, if they decide to. But this year's Star Tower challenge is a little different. It's going to happen for a period of a month.
So it's impossible to leave the city. But this is difficult. In the usual event, we can prevent those forces from doing anything. Yet now we have to guard them for an entire month. On a whim, he gave his word to the Hall Master of Star Tower. But it also includes his desire of transferring to Tier-7 City.
After listening to his words, Conner contemplates before answering anything. "City Lord, So far none of those warriors leave the city. " He was quite sure. Star tower is placed in a restricted zone. There is no sign of people excited from the Star Tower zone. Maybe they have stayed back inside the Star Tower Zone.
City Lord Garry after hearing his words, he asked for confirmation. Then later confirming the situation, the City Lord sighed in relief. As long as people don't come out of the Star Tower Zone, then it would be easy for them to guard. If they exit from the star tower zone, then they need to dispatch extra manpower to watch over them.
City Lord Garry also remembers Star Tower Hall Master's words. Earlier, the Hall Master said that he requested some of his friends' help. But he doesn't know when they will arrive. After shaking his head, the City Lord thought, there is still some time for them to come here. After all, it's been only half an hour since the beginning of the challenge.
After letting out a deep sigh, He gestures to his subordinate to leave. Then begins to focus on his work. From time to time, he also takes some glance at the leaderboard ranking. After seeing Zack consistent ranking , his eyes shone with appreciation. But other than that he didn't think about it further. Right now, his mind is filled with various plans. He is under immense pressure. He already begins to list out the forces that need to be cautioned about.

Outside the Star Tower,
As time progressed, people began to enter and exit continuously. Sallie and Ella from the Crimson Hall team also entered the tower. So, other than Darius and a few others there is no one left in the second batch. Even in the third batch, people started coming out.
On the other hand, seeing the situation. The Star Tower official already called out names of the fourth batch and fifth batch.
At this time inside the star tower,
6th Floor,
Sometimes later, after clearing the fifth floor. Darius Case appears on the sixth floor. So far he cleared those five floors in a few seconds. His strong flame ability is absolutely disastrous to the opponents. He didn't face any resistance on the way.
When he began to look around, He spotted a wide swamp. A hint of curiosity appears in his eyes. He already figured out the challenge of Star Tower. "This year's Challenge of Star Tower is really something. I don't know whether there will be Class 3 or Class 4 Monsters " He jokingly said to himself.
Then shaking his head, he stride towards the swamp. He knew a monster was lurking under the swamp. He already felt its breath in a few seconds when he appeared on this floor. To confirm what type of monster it is, He needs to get a good look at it. After arriving in front of the swamp. He snapped his finger to conjure a humongous flame ball. Then he throws it at the center of the swamp.
In that moment,
"Boom" a deafening sound resonates in the area.
The huge flame ball instantly evaporates the swamp water, when it falls on the center of the swamp. Due to a sudden full scale flame attack the monster dies and dissipates into thin air.
Darius Case smiled seeing the end of the monster. He didn't even take a look at it. At this time a bright light falls on him, to recover his peak state. Then he vanishes from the spot and appears at the 7th floor.
…
1st Floor, Sallie Mills,
Sallie appears on the first floor, for a moment she is on great alert. As she doesn't know the exact challenge, she begins to look around the area. Then suddenly in front of her, a mutated salamander pseudo monster appears.
Seeing that she was startled for a moment. Then she probed the level of the monster. After confirming its level a smile rose from the corner of her mouth. "This looks easy," She whispered to herself.
Then she released her Special Trainee aura to end it's life. As a result, the pseudo monster dies and dissipates into thin air. A bright light fell on her, she dazed for a moment. Then she appears on the second floor.
…
1st Floor, Ella Downs,
When Ella appears at the first floor, she immediately finds the breath of the monster due to her bloodline instinct. Upon seeing the breath of a pseudo monster her eyes flashes with disdain.
On the other hand, the forest wolf pseudo monster trembled with fear. Though she doesn't release her special trainee breath. The monster senses bloodline oppression. It didn't even move.
Seeing the monster, Ella snorted in contempt and released her breath fully to end it's life. Then a bright light fell on her, she looked at it with confusion. After it dissipated, she understood.. Then she immediately appears on the second floor.
