Chapter 496 Part 14: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
From MC's perspective:
20th floor,
Pfff~
A cough of blood before entering the Gregor Mansion. Right after, five human-faced spider monsters with heavy coercion appeared on the spot.
Cry~
Seeing the sudden disappearance of the prey. They looked at each other and let out a creepy scream at each other.
Tud~
I appeared in the middle of the hall and landed on the ground. Then I adjusted my posture and sat cross-legged.
After wiping out the blood on my face. I started to access my injuries. I called up the status panel.

The status window appeared. Then I began to go through the details. It took me a great deal of effort to kill the 5 monsters first. Now the remaining five monsters are chasing me down.
I can tell that the monsters are already vigilant. They felt something was wrong with the other monster's sudden death. But it can't be helped.
Their abilities are either soul or mind attacks. I can't blindly confront them. Then I brought the last recovery potion from the storage ring.
This potion is enough for completing today's Trial. After removing the cork, I drank the liquid. Then I started to heal myself.
Slowly, the potion recovered my lost strength. And the healing energies mixed in it started to cure my injuries as well.
After a few minutes, I returned to my peak state. Feeling the surging energy in my body. I summoned the status window again.

After looking at the status panel. My mouth curved into an arc. This was simply cheating but it can't be helped. I'm determined to complete all the floors.
After closing the status window, I appeared outside.
Right after, I spotted the ugly spider monsters. Three monsters left after some time. But the remaining 2 monsters are unwilling to go.
But this allows me to completely eradicate them.
Cry~
The monsters smelled the scent of their prey. But when they approached the area. They immediately got attacked by the magic spell.
"Gravity Field," I uttered.
Heavy coercion descended on the ground. The gravitational force made the 3 monsters shudder. As time passed, the monsters weren't able to break away from the field.
Pfff~
The ground was dyed with blood. The monster's body parts are breaking under the pressure.
Seeing that I started to push more essence.
Cry~
Right at this moment, a terrific cry was heard. The remaining 3 ugly-faced spider monsters came back.
Ting~
I felt a heavy attack in my body. It's invisible but I know it's a soul attack. My face becomes distorted under the pain. My back was drenched in sweat.
The slight miss in concentration caused the Gravity Field to lose. Seeing that my expression changes drastically.
I quickly controlled the field and began to pour the remaining essence as soon as possible. The 2 monsters had some lingering breath left.
The other three monsters came towards me slowly.
"Just a few more seconds," I mumbled under my breath, feeling the other monsters getting near me.
Tud~
The 2 ugly-faced spider monsters lost their final breath and fell to the ground.
Swish~
Seeing that I disappeared from the spot and appeared in the Gregor Mansion.
Right after, three other monsters came to the spot. Seeing the corpse of their kind. They let out creepy roars against each other.
The weird prey is posing a threat to the.m.
At the same time, standing in the hall with a pale expression, "Soul attack again," I revealed with a bitter smile on my face.
I'm completely helpless against it. The monsters are not average monsters either. Normally, I spike the normal monsters with the magic spells.
But these mutant monsters are a bit tenacious. They have strong vitality with a weird soul and mental attack.
These incidents only open my eyes to the world. I thought after upgrading the awakened gravity magic. I can easily fight 6th-order or level-6 wizards.
But I was wrong. The upgraded power was not that strong against extremely talented wizards and special monsters.
It was taking a lot of time to eliminate them. Talking about the upgrade, I couldn't help but think about the Meteor Country.
If I can evolve my awakened gravity magic one more time. Then my life will be better here. I don't have to worry about old students either.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. Then my attention turned toward the mana consumption. I summoned the system again.

Looking at the status panel, I sighed inwardly. Just one attack cost me a loss of attributes. No wonder, not that many people are participating in the Trial even though there are hundreds of students in the academy.
My current situation made me ponder a lot. My original talent was weak. With that, it's impossible to dream about clearing the rest of the rounds.
But thanks to the system, I'm playing safely. After pushing down these thoughts. I walked to the control room to watch the changes.
I guess the other 2 monsters are standing in the same place. When I walked into the room, I turned toward the mirror.
Then three ugly-faced monsters remained motionless in the same spot. Seeing my expression turned solemn. The monsters became alert.
They won't be separated easily. A cold glint flashes in my eyes.
Swish~
I disappeared from the spot and appeared back on the spot. But I was surrounded by monsters.
Before the monsters could sense, I cast the magic spell.
"Repulsive force," I uttered.
A strong repulsive magic is released from the body. The next moment, the repulsive force hits the monsters.
The monsters are alarmed by the spell. But they are too late to respond. After getting hit by the repulsive force.
Their body retreated backward a few steps. But they are not close anymore.
Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I cast the Gravity Blast magic targeting the monster closest to me.
A wisp of powerful magic released from the finger and shot at the target at breakneck speed.
In a blink of an eye, the ugly spider monster's head was hit by the magic spell.
