Chapter 336 Part Three: Battle Tower (Inner House Challenge)
(From MC's perspective)
After seeing the reduction in mental power, I realized the earlier mental attack from the black crow had caused an injury. Then I moved from my spot and waited for the perfect opportunity to shoot down the bird.
The black crow finds no opportunity to kill the enemy. Every time it decides to attack, the enemy moves away from the position. After circling one more time in the sky, it suddenly dived down.
My mouth curved into an arc. I pointed my fingers at the coming bird monster and uttered, "Gravity Blast"
A wisp of gravity magic shot at the bird monster. In a blink of an eye, the power lands a hit at the bird monster.
Pfff!
The gravity magic tore through the body of black growth and the force ravaged the inner organs causing the vitality to drop to zero.
Right after the death, the body of the black crow fell to the ground.
[Floor cleared: 21]
[The next challenge starts in 10 minutes.]
[Do you want to proceed or not? Enter Y/N]
Seeing that, I was selected to go to the next round. Then I noticed that my mental power of mine didn't recover at all. Which means it won't recover till the end of the challenge.
A quick glint flashes in my eyes. I knew there must be some trick. How could the challenge be so easy? After gaining some clarity, I decided to stay alert hereafter.
The magic power of the black crow gave me a huge surprise. Which shows the horror of evil magic. It's full of strangeness, weirdness, and unpredictability.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After learning lessons from the black crow monster, I cleared further floors in a quick session. Eventually, I cleared the 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, and 70th floors in an hour.
1 hour later,
[Floor cleared: 80]
[The next challenge starts in 10 minutes.]
[Do you want to proceed or not? Enter Y/N]
I opted to enter the next round. 20 more floors, then I will be crowned as 1st ranker in the Inner House ranking as well. Thinking about it, my mouth curved into an arc.
Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye,
This time the terrain changes into a tropical forest. But the forest here is different from that one normally seen in the wilderness. Seeing the unusually long trees.
A sudden piece of information strikes my mind. I have read it before. The scene looks close to what is described in wizard books. It may be a magical forest. The magical forest is home to strange species.
I don't know what type of monsters will pop up.
Buzzz!
All of a sudden I hear a buzzing sound from nowhere. As I perked up my ears, I found the buzzing sound seemed to come from the flapping of wings.
But I couldn't figure out which bird monster is causing such a noise. Anyway, I didn't let down my guard.
After a few seconds, I see the familiar scene of black clouds in the air. The scene reminds me of the level-6 wizard. "Why does it look similar to the bugs of an insect wizard?" I muttered to myself.
"System, probe the target's details," Then I said to the system.

[Name: Blood Sucking Mosquito(Variant)]
[Level: 4th order monster]
[Strength: 324]
[Vitality: 321]
[Speed: 323]
[Stamina: 325]
[Skill: Hallucination, Blood Poison.]
A row of information appeared before my eyes. Seeing that it's a 4th order monster. My mouth curved into the arc. Finally, there is a 4th order monster in the trial. I was wondering why there was no sign of 4th-order monsters earlier.
To deal with this swarm of mosquitoes, fortunately, I got a perfect spell for it.
The size of the mosquitoes was similar to the normal mosquitos that we see in our day-to-day life. But when I see the blood-red eye of the mosquitoes. I see how dangerous it is.
If these magic mosquitoes are released into the town of regular humans. Then these mosquitoes will suck up the blood of people overnight. A terrific silent killer.
My eyes burst out with a cold glint. More than a single terrain monster, these types of insect monsters pose a great threat to everyone.
When the swarm got closer to me. I knew these mosquitoes can't hold onto themselves, smelling my hot blood.
Then I cast the spell. "Repulsive Force," I uttered. A terrific opposing force released from my body. Tiny mosquitoes were closer to me.
Pfff!
Turned into blood mist the next second. Before casting the spell, I made up my mind to use more gravity magic power in my spell. Combining the magic power with repulsive force.
The 4th-order insect monster got no chance to live. In a blink of an eye, all other insects turned into blood mist. Seeing the beautiful scenery, a small smile appeared on my face.
I have done a good thing by learning this spell before coming to the Battle Tower. Repulsive Force Spell is as good as Gravity Field Spell.
[Floor cleared: 81]
[The next challenge starts in 10 minutes.]
[Do you want to proceed or not? Enter Y/N]
After selecting the option, I waited for the next floor to appear.
After ten minutes, the same scene is happening before my eyes. I'm standing in the middle of the tropical forest. And I hear the same buzzing sound.
Right after, I see two separate mosquito groups nearing me. The blood poison skill of the monster seems dangerous. Imagine getting bitten by many mosquitoes. It will certainly pose danger to the high-ranking wizards.
The 4th order monster seems intelligent. It stopped its movements after getting closer to me. Seeing that, I cast the spell again.
The repulsive force spell again caused instant death. In a blink of an eye, two mosquito groups died.
This spell acts well as both an offensive and defensive spell.
Time passed,
I cleared the consecutive floors by relying on a repulsive force spell. The spell is very efficient against group-type monsters. All I have to do is to increase the gravity magic to power up the spell. The Mosquito groups turned into blood mist the next second.
Several minutes later,
[Floor cleared: 90]
[The next challenge starts in 10 minutes.]
[Do you want to proceed or not? Enter Y/N]
After seeing the instruction, I sighed in relief. Finally, I'm stepping into the last hurdle. Then I was selected to proceed to the next round.
I don't know what will appear in the last round. A hint of expectation rose in my heart.
Ten minutes later,
The terrain changed in a blink of an eye. I feel a terrible cold all of a sudden. When I touched my feet on the ground. A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes.
"Snow terrain," I mumbled under my breath.
Everywhere I look around, I only see snow plains. A cold wind brushed past my face. When I'm looking around casually, a sudden roar disturbed me.
Then a gigantic figure caught my attention. "What is this?" Looking at the humongous figure, I mumbled under my breath.
But when the figure got closer to me. I get a clear view of it. The monster appeared to be 10 ft tall in height. And its fingers were not that of a typical monster finger but a metallic claw.
"System, probe the target's details," Then I said to the system.

[Name: Snow Monster]
[Level: 4th order monster]
[Magic: Bloodline]
[Strength: 378]
[Vitality: 376]
[Speed: 377]
[Stamina: 379]
[Skill: Snow fist, Cold roar, Metal Claw]
[Additional Bloodline Skill: Bloodline rage(All attributes 50+)
A row of information appeared before my eyes. Looking at the status, only one thing comes to my mind. A pure bloodline 4th order monster.
My expression couldn't help but dignify a little bit. My attributes were nowhere near it. If I get slammed by this monster, then I would be eliminated right away.
So far, I had dealt with 4th-order monsters using overpowered gravity magic. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to reach here. Then my gaze immediately fell on additional bloodline skills.
Which is domineering. And when this power is activated, the snow monster would be no less than that of the 5th-order monster.
Roarrrr!
When I'm looking at the status, the snow monster released an attack right after seeing me. I see a beam of ice attack coming towards me at breakneck speed.
Seeing that, I immediately operated my speed to move away from the spot. I don't want to get near the snow monster.
Boom!
The ice beam attack lands a hit at an empty spot causing a massive crack. The aftermath of the attack immediately swept away nearby snow. Hereby damaging the landscape.
Seeing the failed attack, the snow monster roared. And immediately it chases down its prey.
At the same time, looking at the speed of the snow monster a terrier chilled down my spine.
