Chapter 391 Part 7: Mystic Ruins
From MC's perspective:
The Gregor Mansion,
Inside the mansion, I sat cross-legged and drank some recovery potions. My overall stats were affected. So one recovery potion is not enough to make recovery to a peak state.
Fortunately, I came prepared. Before coming to this ruin, I bought some useful potions. I can't repeat the same mistake.
After a few seconds, I felt the warmth and the lightness spreading all over my body. After some time I took a few healing potions as well.
2 hours later,
I opened my eyes. And feeling the mana coursing through my veins. I felt I returned to my peak self.
To verify, I have decided to check the system.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

[Title: Lord of Gregor Manson.]
[Storage space items: Earth Golem Puppet, Magic cloak, The Gregor Manson, Magic artifact, herbs, potions, and spell books...etc..,]
A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. Then my eyes immediately scanned the details. All of my statuses returned to normal.
Seeing that a hint of relief flashes in my eyes. Now I can carefully plan my next move. I can't repeat the same mistake.
Then I got up from the ground and went to take a shower. I changed into fresh clothes a few minutes later. A good plan comes to mind.
The existence of the Gregor mansion is a great help. With this, I can hide inside and watch every movement of that monster waiting outside.
I entered the control room and looked at the screen. Seeing the pitch-black atmosphere inside the cave. A gloomy glint flashes in my eyes.
I almost forgot about the light problem. The cave is completely dark. Then after contemplating for some time. I finally decided to appear outside.
Swish!
When I appeared outside, I immediately felt the heavy mana pressure weighing down on me. My eyes turned cold. But fortunately, the system didn't warn me.
Which means the snake monster didn't notice me yet.
After calming down my heart, I readied myself to use the magic spell at any time.
I activated the gadgets and the bright light illuminates the surrounding the next moment.
The 6th-order snake monster which was taking a nap opened its eyes suddenly. It smelled the familiar blood again.
His eyes immediately found the enemy who had disappeared a couple of hours ago.
Rumble~
The cave structure tremors. The snake monster hissed before releasing the massive flame balls at the enemy.
At the same time, I stood in the same spot facing the massive flame balls. I have already thought of a suitable plan.
For that, I need to get close to the snake's head. Otherwise, it's difficult to cause damage to the snake monster.
When the flame got closer to me. I disappeared from the spot and hid inside the Gregor mansion.
The flame balls land a blow to the empty ground causing a tremor to the surroundings. Meanwhile, the snake monster was pissed off again. It attacked the surrounding structure by using a deadly tail.
Some seconds later, the snake monster lowered its head to track the enemy.
But the next moment something unexpected happened.
Swish!
I appeared outside and landed on a good spot close to the monster's head. Using this opportunity, I raised my head and pointed fingers at the monster's head.
"Gravity Blast," I said.
The next moment, gravity magic released from my finger and shot at the monster's gigantic head in a blink of an eye.
The snake monster instantly felt the threat of unknown power heading towards it. But it was too late to dodge.
The gravity blast lands a blow to the monster's head and the power explodes on the spot.
Bang!
A terrible sound resonated through the surroundings.
Meanwhile, I hurriedly hid in the Gregor mansion before the massive tail landed a blow to my previous spot.
The ground cracked instantly from the force. Aftermath immediately swept away the cave. But from the attack, I can see that the monster is struggling in pain.
As I had expected the head was not as strong as other parts of the monster's body. It would cost my small amount of mana to cause damage to the snake monster if I continue to target the same spot.
But to verify, I waited for the aftermath to settle down.
When the snake monster stopped moving its body. The dust finally settles down.
Swish!
I appeared outside and finally saw the state of the snake monster. But I didn't move an inch. There is a massive hole in the snake's head.
It's the result of the gravity blast attack. But seeing the monster's state, I doubt whether it truly died or not.
Because I can feel the energy coming from the monster's body. Out of curiosity, I decided to probe.
"System, probe the target's details," I Instructed the system mind.
[Ding! Host's command is recognized.]
[Ding! The command is executed.]
[Status Panel]
[Target's Name: Flame Snake]
[Type: Fire Elemental Monster]
[Order: 6th order early level]
[Strength: 200/520]
[Vitality: 200/522]
[Speed: 199/524]
[Stamina: 203/525]
[Skill: Flame Balls, Flame poison, Deadly Stare, Iron Tail.]
A status panel appeared in front of my eyes. Seeing the details, a cold shiver went down my spine.
"It's alive," I said in my heart. What tenacity? Even after taking the direct hit, there is still some vitality left.
I closed the status panel and pointed my fingers at the monster's head again.
Meanwhile, the snake monster opened it again after feeling something. But seeing the enemy appearing again.
It raises its head to attack. But it was too late to evade the attack again. The terrible magic spell lands a hit at the same spot again.
Bang!
A terrible sound resonated in the surrounding area. When the aftermath got settled. I see the final result.
Tud!
The monster dropped dead on the ground. But to verify again,
"System, probe the target's details," I Instructed the system mind.
[Ding! Host's command is recognized.]
[Ding! The command is executed.]
[Status Panel]
[Target's Name: Flame Snake]
[Type: Fire Elemental Monster]
[Order: 6th order early level]
[Strength: 0/520]
[Vitality: 0/522]
[Speed: 0/524]
[Stamina: 0/525]
[Skill: Flame Balls, Flame poison, Deadly Stare, Iron Tail.]
Seeing the status panel, I sighed inwardly. Finally, this awful duel comes to an end. I was no match for the monster when it comes to a powerful level.
Fortunately, I got the upgraded power of gravity magic. Because of it, I can fight across ranks. Then I closed the status panel and walked up to the snake monster.
If I got attacked by the 6th-order monster's brute force, my condition would have been miserable.
Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts. When I got closer, I climbed up on its head and began to look for the crystal gem.
The crystal gem of 6th order monster. I don't know how much money I would earn after selling this gem.
After some slicing, I finally laid my hands on fist size blue crystal gem. This is the first time I'm seeing a crystal gem of this size.
I put the crystal gem in system space. Then I turned my attention towards the massive body. The organs and blood of the 6th-order monster are important trading items.
I can't waste these resources. It's better to store them instead of leaving them here to rot. Then I brought the dagger from the system space and began to dissect the monster's body.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After three hours of working, I managed to collect the monster's blood and organs. Now there is an empty skeleton.
After storing everything, I sat down on the rock. I'm happy that I have managed to end the 6th-order monster's life. But that doesn't explain the purpose of restrictions.
The restrictions were placed to prevent intruders from getting inside. So the cave structure must be hiding something. And the appearance of the snake monster to kill the intruders.
When this realization struck me. A small smile appeared on my face. I have yet to find the most important thing in this cave. So I decided to start searching for the item a few minutes later.
