Chapter 337 Part Four: Battle Tower (Inner House Challenge)
(From MC's perspective)
The snow monster charged toward me. Seeing that I cast the repulsive force spell. Right after, a terrific opposing force released from my body and smashed into the snow monster.
Pfff!
The snow monster got hit by a heavy blow. The gravity power tore through its organs without much resistance.
Roar!
It let out a roar feeling agonizing pain. But the next second, the monster's eyes turned blood red. It's stimulating its bloodline to increase its power.
The monster's current state didn't go unnoticed under my eyes. Especially seeing the blood-red eye of the monster.
I pointed my fingers at the monster and uttered, "Gravity Blast." This time I didn't hold back my overpowered gravity magic.
Right after the spell, a wisp of magic shot at the monster at breakneck speed. The grey color magic tore through the air and reaches the monster in a blink of an eye.
The monster in the maddened state didn't notice the changes.
Boom!
When the magic comes in contact with the monster's body. It immediately blasted away the maddened monster.
Roar!
The gravity force completely broke the defense of the monster.
Pfff!
Blood splattered around the ground. The monster let out a final roar before completely losing its breath.
[Floor cleared: 91]
[The next challenge starts in 10 minutes.]
[Do you want to proceed or not? Enter Y/N]
Seeing that, I proceed to go to the next round.
Time passed in a blink of an eye.
I cleared consecutive floors in no time.
Knowing the monster got bloodline power, I didn't hold back the overpowered gravity magic and killed the monster with a few blows.
Several minutes later,
[Floor cleared: 100]
[The next challenge starts in 10 minutes.]
[Do you want to proceed or not? Enter Y/N]
Seeing that my mouth curved into an arc. Finally, I reached the last floor. Now, my record equals Lara White's performance. But my speed of floor clearance is greater than hers.
I wonder what will happen on leader board? Shaking my head, I opted to enter the final round.
After ten minutes, I appeared in the middle of a similar snow plain.
Roar!
Right after that, ten snow monsters rushed toward me. The intellect of the bloodline monster is greater than an ordinary monster.
It knows that I'm the enemy who trespassed into its territory.
A wry smile appeared on my face. I know if not for my overpowered gravity magic, I'm not be a match to these bloodline monsters.
Shaking my head, I cast the repulsive force spell. A huge opposing force released from my body in a matter of seconds it slammed into the surrounding monsters.
Pfff!
From the force of full impact, the monster flew backward and got crashed into the ground. The terrible landing further caused cracks in the ground.
Using this opportunity, I released the gravity blast spells to end the monster's life. In a blink of an eye, the monsters died one after another.
When the last monster died, I disappeared from the spot and appeared outside of the battle tower.
"Phew," I exhaled in relief as my feet touched the ground. But when I raised my head to look, the scene in front of me made me widened in disbelief.
"What the f*ck?" I muttered to myself. The number of people who came to watch my performance was higher than I had expected. I couldn't even see the tail end.
My gaze swept past the wizards in front of me. I also noticed a majority of them were the outer house wizards. Seeing that I let out a small smirk, I wasn't surprised by their appearance.
Gasp!
Meanwhile, the crowd exclaimed in surprise. Vincent made history by clearing the inner house trial within a few hours. These amazing feet are even dazzler than Lara White's performance.
At this time, a beautiful silhouette appeared in front of me. I didn't mind the exclamation from the crowd.
"Vincent?" Carolina said.
Seeing her, I nodded my head and then my gaze turned toward the leaderboard.
[Leader Board - Inner House Ranks]
[1st - Vincent Carey, Level-3 Gravity Wizard]
Seeing my name appearing in the 1st position. A wide smile appeared on my face. As I had guessed before, my speed of clearance is higher than Lara White's.
And her name dropped down to the 2nd position. I can't wait to see her reaction to these changes. Thinking about it, I laughed out loud in my heart.
Carolina Slate furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. Her junior brother appeared to be in a daze. She doesn't know what is he thinking. Then suddenly realizes something.
Her expression turned serious and she said, "Vincent let's go to our hall. I have something to tell you."
Hearing that smile on my face disappeared. Looking at her solemn expression. I have vaguely guessed something. Then nodding my head in response, I walked out with her.
At the same time, the hostile group of wizards immediately left the battle tower to spread the news. Even the neutral wizards from different halls can't wait to post the news on social media.
While this is happening, the change in battle tower records also reached the higher-ups. Especially the name Vincent Carey is extremely dazzling in both the Outer House and Inner House ranks.
Meanwhile,
In a separate magical place deep inside the academy,
"Ge...Ge...Ge..."
"That kid caused the noise again," The old powerhouse muttered to himself.
"Shall we declare him as a successor seed?" This time he spoke to the dark empty space right next to him.
A few seconds later, a hoarse voice came from the empty space, "Wait until he reaches the core house. Now it's too early to rope him into an inheritance battle."
Hearing the reply from a deep voice, the powerhouse fell silent.
Meanwhile,
We reached our sub-taboo hall a few minutes later.
After walking into our hall, I sat on the sofa and waited for her to reply. To be honest, I feel completely blank in my mind. And my thoughts were all around the bloodline monster.
Nobody knows about the horror of the bloodline monster. Most of the outer wizards might think I cleared those floors without putting much effort.
But only I knew my attributes were nowhere near the evil and bloodline monsters. This also makes me wonder. Is Lara's snowstorm magic similar to mine?
If her snowstorm magic is overpowered similar to mine, then there will be some interesting things to watch in the future.
But I also think the possibilities were slim. I gained the overpowered ability of gravity by consuming the energy from meteor rocks.
So a similar thing is unlikely to happen with Lara White. When I'm lost in thoughts, Carolina is checking the online site.
After a few seconds, "Vincent, congratulations. You easily proved me wrong," She said with a bitter laugh.
She couldn't even clear the inner house trials. But her junior brother got 1st place on his first attempt. Which shows that Vincent has strength to kill her.
How long has it been? She exclaimed in her heart. She still has this feeling that Vincent is a newcomer and it would take some time for him to act on his own.
But she knows Vincent has the strength to protect himself. And Vincent's overwhelming performance in both houses will attract higher-ups attention. And they will eventually provide some kind of protection.
At the same time, I remained silent to her questions. Her deadly Vine magic is not weak either. But I don't want to explain what went down there in the battle tower.
The overpowered gravity magic is my own secret. There is nothing good about revealing the news. Then I decided to change the topic and asked, "Senior, earlier you wanted to speak about something else to me?"
Hearing that, Carolina retracted her thoughts and gained some clarity. During Vincent's trial inside the battle tower. She observed the movements of wizards outside the tower at that time.
Apart from the elemental hall, she had noticed the wizards from the bloodline hall were also large in numbers.
"Vincent looks the bloodline hall also going to make a move against you," She uttered in a cold tone.
"Bloodline Hall?" I blurted out in surprise. Bloodline again? I couldn't help but think of a snow monster.
"Huh, don't worry sister. I will take care of them," I assured her about my safety. She probably thinks people would gang upon me in the future.
She forgets that I'm a gravity mage. My gravity magic works well against the groups. And I got two exclusive spells to fight against the groups. Gravity Field & Repulsive Force.
Now I'm feeling more addicted to using repulsive force than a gravity blast spell.
Carolina nodded her head in understanding. She is clear of Vincent's strength now. There is no point in persuading further, utmost she can tell the news to other sub-taboo wizards in our hall.
Beep!
Suddenly her watch lit up with a notification. Seeing that she accessed the message to read it. After a few seconds, a quick glint flashes in her eye. Her gloomy mood is replaced with a bright smile on her face.
