Chapter 482 Part 4: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
From MC's perspective:
2nd Floor,
I eliminated the rest of the plant monsters within a few minutes.
[Floor cleared]
[The next challenge will start 15 minutes later.]
The announcement came. Right after, another recovery potion appeared before me. Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
The recovery potion is a lifesaver. I picked it up and placed it inside my storage bracelet. I don't need this right now. But I can save it for the upcoming round.
The 2nd round was dangerous. I'm looking forward to seeing the next floor. A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.
Time passed,
[3rd Floor]
[The Challenge Starts in 5 seconds!]
After 15 minutes, the next announcement came.
Hearing that I stood up from the ground and became ready to cast spells at any time.
When it was time. The environment changes again. I appeared inside the gloomy cave. Looking at the familiar cave structure.
It brings back a lot of memories. Before I could enjoy the surroundings.
Rustle~
A rustling sound came from the front. Hearing that I realized something is hiding deep in the cave.
I started walking forward. As I went deep inside, I came across the monster's nest. It was the snake monster.
There are many snake monsters nestled on each other. One upon another. The mana radiating from their body shows 5th-order monsters.
But I didn't let down my guard. And it's even a waste of time to probe their details. Because there are so many monsters here.
After taking a glance at the cave walls. I retreated backward slowly. The Trials are changing a bit.
It requires the candidate to take the initiative to clear these floors. It was the same case with the last round. And it's happening right now.
Hiss~
Suddenly, the sleeping snake monsters awakened from sensing the unfamiliar presence.
One by one the snake monsters turned to the entrance and made a hissing sound.
At the same time, I raised my hand and pointed fingers at the target. It's mana-consuming to use single-attack spells.
But I don't want to take any chances. Like weird flowers, the snakes here might have unknown abilities.
I don't want to get caught off guard by that. So I decided to use the gravity blast spell to eliminate the monsters.
When a 5th-order snake monster moved forward.
"Gravity Blast," I immediately cast the spell. A wisp of gravity magic power released from the finger and shot at the target at breakneck speed.
In a blink of an eye, the spell comes in contact with the snake monster. The head of the monster was destroyed right after that. The rest of the parts were crushed under the remaining spell power.
Seeing that one of their own was down. The remaining snake monsters began to act. The entire lair began to shake.
All the entangled snake monsters began to free themselves.
Suddenly, a snake monster sprayed poison at me.
Ssshh~
I moved backward and evaded the attack in time. The remaining poison hits the empty ground.
But it made a scorching sound right after it touched the ground surface. Which shows the toxicity of the poison.
A purple color gas started coming from it.
Seeing my expression turned grave. I knew it. The snake monsters here are not ordinary 5th-order monsters.
Their attack can become fatal. I once again cast the magic spell at the monster.
The monster was destroyed by the spell.
At the same time, another snake monster became invisible to the naked eye. It was even harder to spot it under the dim light of the cave.
Unlike others, this snake monster is cautiously moving toward the enemy.
When I thought it was over. The next second, the system warned me.
[Ding! Warning]
[Danger is nearing the host!]
After hearing the mechanical voice, I felt goosebumps all over my body.
When I looked around near me. I found nothing. Which even unsettled me more. So where is this warning coming from?
The invisible snake monster got closer to the enemy and opened its mouth to spray toxins.
Unlike the body, the toxin was visible to the eyes.
"What?" My eyes widened in disbelief.
A hot liquid sprayed over my clothes. The next moment, I retreated backward in fear. Then I cast the repulsive force spell in response.
The invisible snake monster died under the repulsive gravity magic. From the beginning to the end, the monster didn't show its presence.
At the same time, I removed the magic cloak in a hurry. Before throwing it inside the Gregor Mansion. The hot liquid seems poisonous. And gas coming from it is a toxic gas as well.
"Show me the status panel," I said to the system in mind.

The status panel appeared. Seeing the negative status. My eyes flickered. At least I have taken out my magic cloak in time.
When I closed the status panel. I spotted a wave of snake monsters coming towards me.
"Repulsive Force," I uttered.
A repulsive force is released from the body and hits the incoming wave of monsters.
Smash~
The monsters are torn into pieces one by one. The body parts splattered on the ground. Blood begins to flow on the ground.
When the dust was settled. I saw there are still some monsters left in the cave. Seeing that I took the initiative to eliminate them.
A few minutes later,
The monster's lair was emptied by me. This round was not dangerous except the numbers of the monster were higher compared to the previous round.
[Floor cleared]
[The next challenge will start 15 minutes later.]
The announcement came right after the clearance.
A recovery potion appeared once again. Seeing that, I decided to consume it. Though my injury was not worse. At least I have to do something about mana consumption.
I sat cross-legged on the ground. Then I opened the cork and drank the liquid in one go.
Warm energy entered my organs. It started to remove my fatigue. I ran the mental method and started to circulate the energy inside my body.
10 minutes later,
I opened my eyes. My eyes flickered. I'm feeling my mana has recovered as well.
"Show me the status panel," I said to the system in mind.
[Ding! The Host's command is recognized.]

The status panel appeared before me. Looking at the positive status. I nodded my head in satisfaction.
There is still energy left in my body. But it will help me in the coming floors.
...
Outside,
30 minutes ago,
The Leaderboard Ranking changes again. This time Vincent Carey's name rose in the ranks. He was not at the bottom anymore.
His floor clearance was displayed as well. It was currently on the 2nd floor.
At this time, Carolina Slate also arrived before the Battle Tower. Looking at the change in status her eyes lit up with joy.
"His strength is not weak," She muttered in her heart. She was convinced this time. Earlier, she had worries. But now looking at the clearance timing of both floors.
She thought it was not challenging for Vincent. So he can clear the next few floors.
