Chapter 488 Part 10: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
From MC's perspective:
Time passed,
I found the purple centipede monster again. But this time it was a different one. Knowing its weird ability, I took the initiative to bombard the monster with gravity spells.
The purple centipede monster died after a few minutes. Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
Soon I found the rest of the wolf pack and cleared them as well. With that, the 6th floor's Trial comes to an end.
Several Minutes later,
Floor: 7th
I entered the 7th floor. But this time, the environment was set in a hot magma region. The monsters that are popping up at the front have fire attributes.
Seeing that I took the initiative to attack.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
I have cleared the 7th floor, 8th floor, and 9th floor in 6 hours.
Floor: 10th
When I entered the 10th floor. I know this is the last floor for today. I can continue my trial tomorrow.
Soon the environment changes. I found myself in the middle of the populous city. People are walking past me.
Seeing the new environment, my heart palpitates for some reason. Why was the environment set in a human city?
The next second, I saw cruel changes taking place in front of me. The seemingly normal-looking humans start becoming evil puppets.
Their skin color changes and their nails begin to extend long and sharp. The facial expression becomes stoic.
All the puppets looked the same.
Seeing that I felt goosebumps all over my body.
Right after the evil puppets began to attack me. In response, I cast the gravity magic spell.
The repulsive force swept away the surrounding puppets. I thought the magic spell would cause damage. But to my surprise, the puppets stood up like nothing had happened.
The broken parts joined the main body in a blink of an eye. Seeing the weird magic, I felt my back turn cold.
[Ding! Warning]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind.
$@#&~
All of a sudden I heard a weird sound. At first, my expression was normal. I didn't notice any changes. But as the sound continues to come.
I'm feeling something happening inside of me. The evil puppets again start to surround me.
Seeing the 2 kinds of attacks taking place. I made up my mind to crush these puppets first.
"Gravity Blast," I cast the spell.
A wisp of magic power released from my finger and shot at the target at breakneck speed.
The evil puppet was crushed under the spell. Leaving behind no broken parts on the ground. Which made it impossible to respawn again.
Seeing that I use a similar spell against the remaining evil puppets.
Time passed,
The evil puppets began to disappear one by one. But at the same time, I'm getting affected by the weird sound.
I don't know where the sound is coming from.
When the last evil puppet was down. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. Then my attention turned to the system.
"Show me the status panel," I said to the system in mind.

The status panel appeared before my eyes. Then I saw the drop in the soul power. Seeing that my expression turned grave. If the soul power hits rock bottom.
Then it may cause serious damage to my body. After closing the status panel, I decided to confront the master behind the scenes.
I know someone was manipulating the puppets. And the evil sound may be coming from the person as well.
There is no one in front of me. Still, I'm standing in the middle of the street. I closed my eyes and started to focus on the sound.
$@#&~
Soon the weird sound reached my ears again. When I opened my eyes. My eyes lit up with bright light. I found the direction.
Then I started rushing towards the location. After crossing the street, I came to the open field. But the thing standing in front of me gave me goosebumps again.
There is an Evil Puppet in front of me. And in its hand, there is a musical instrument. The appearance alone cropped me out.
I thought that evil wizards usually do experiments on corpses. But I have never heard someone turning themselves into a puppet to advance further in the magic path.
Because the power radiating from the puppet is that of a Level-5 wizard. So this thing was not a monster.
While I'm observing the puppet. The evil puppet stopped playing musical instruments in its hands.
"He...He...He...," It opened its mouth to let out creepy words.
Swish~
Right after, the puppet disappeared from the spot and appeared before me.
Seeing that my pupil shrank. But instead of casting spells, I twisted my fists to punch.
Boom~
When a punch comes in contact with the puppet's body. I felt like hitting an iron plate. The body of the evil puppet was strong.
But the force gave me time to distance myself from it.
Right after, I uttered, "Gravity Field"
A tremendous gravitational force is designed on the ground. The evil puppets' pupils flickered. But the force directly impacted its body.
Boom~
A terrible sound reverberated throughout the area.
Cracks~
Small cracks appeared on its body. When I saw those cracks, I sighed in relief. Apart from the weird music sounds and control ability.
The evil puppet didn't have other abilities.
Using this opportunity, I cast multiple gravity spells again. I don't want to give up any opportunities.
The evil puppet was bombarded with gravity magic. Within seconds, the cracks stretched to all parts of its body.
When one more spell lands a hit on it. The evil puppet crumbles into pieces.
[Floor cleared]
[The next challenge will start tomorrow]
Right after, the announcement rang out. I felt relaxed. The 10th floor was creepy. Fortunately, the puppet didn't have other abilities.
Swish~
A recovery potion appeared before me. Seeing that I picked up the bottle and opened the cork to drink.
Gulp~
A hot warm liquid entered my throat. Then I sat cross-legged on the ground and started to refine the energy. I don't know whether the recovery potion can treat soul injury as well.
A few minutes later,
I felt the surging power again. Then I shifted my attention to the system.
"Show me the status panel," I said to the system in mind.

The status panel appeared before my eyes. Seeing the quick recovery of soul power. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. Then I closed the status panel and stood up from the ground.
It took me more than 8 hours to clear the round. I don't know how long it would take me to clear the remaining floors.
A few seconds later,
I disappeared from the spot and appeared outside of the Battle Tower. But when I raised my head to look ahead.
I saw many wizard students crowded in front of the Battle Tower. I looked around and set my gaze on the LeaderBoard Rankings.
Apart from me, there was no one here. So these guys are here for me.
