Chapter 502 Part 16: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
From MC's perspective:
The magic cloak of mine was capable of blocking most attacks. So I made up my mind to take the risk.
When the dotted green snake monster circles to find the prey. I appeared back outside on the ground.
Then I quickly hid myself behind the bushes to make a surprise attack. I know the monster's senses are high. But I decided to do it anyway. There was no better place to take cover here.
Hiss~
Hissing, the snake monster moved its gigantic snake body back to the same spot. Seeing that monster is coming again. I calmed down my nerves.
The snake monster lowered its head to use its tongue to find the prey.
"Good opportunity," I muttered in my heart before standing up to cast the spell.
"Gravity Blast," I cast the magic spell. Not once but multiple times.
One by one, a wisp of gravity magic released from the finger and shot at the monster in a blink of an eye.
Hiss~
The snake monster got alarmed by the sudden attack. But the attack was done at proximity. So the snake monster's head was bombarded by the gravity magic spells.
Boom~
One after another, the gravity magic tore through the skin and began to damage the skull. Such a rapid attack is slowing down the regeneration speed.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. My assumption turned out right. The head part was the weakness of the monster. The recovery was not working well.
Seeing that I continued to cast the magic spell.
Boom~
The head was bombarded by the magic spell. The snake monster swept its long tail here and there to hit the enemy. But unfortunately, the monster wasn't able to think properly.
Pfff~
Stick liquids are sprayed around the ground. The snake monster was bleeding from the attack. If it continues, it might lose its vitality very rapidly.
At the same time, I'm feeling rapid consumption of mana. But I don't care. Right now, my mind was set on the task.
The regeneration of the monster is failing. I have to continue making the attack.
A few minutes later,
Tud~
The monster's body dropped dead on the ground. When the smoke settles. The monster's condition became clear. The head was disfigured.
The monster's skull was broken from the continuous attack.
[Floor Cleared: 21]
[The next floor will start in 15 minutes]
The announcement sounded suddenly. Right after, a bright green potion appeared before me.
"Recovery Potion," I uttered. Then I placed it in the storage bracelet and decided to use it in an emergency.
15 minutes later,
The environment remains the same. But I heard one more hissing sound near me. A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes.
This time the floor will be challenging. How to attack the 2 monsters at the same time? There is also the monster's ability to recover.
After pushing down these thoughts, I decided to find the monsters' location. If they are in the same spot, then my task would be difficult.
Soon, I saw one of the snake monsters was sleeping coiled up under the tree. The giant shade tree was slightly taller than the monster.
This unique sight brought me even more danger feeling. Then I thought if one of the monsters was sleeping. Then I can freely attack the next monster.
As this thought rose in my heart. I quickly started moving to find the other monster in the opposite direction.
Soon I saw the dotted green snake monster which was moving in a zig-zag manner at front. I'm just following its tail. And I remember being whipped by the giant tail.
The magic cloak of mine was working fine. It's highly unlikely to be discovered by the monster. So I started to follow.
Time passed,
After a few minutes, the snake monster stopped moving. Seeing that I carefully started walking close to the head.
Last time the tactic worked out for me. I hope this time it goes well as well. After coming near to the monster's head, I cast the magic spell.
"Gravity Blast," I uttered.
All of a sudden gravity magic hits the monster's head.
Boom~
The snake monster tilted its head under the attack. Its vertical snake pupil already spotted the prey.
Without minding the attack, the monster decided to swallow the prey. The snake monster opened its wide mouth before attacking the prey.
Meanwhile, I was caught off guard by the sudden changes. Nevertheless, I came prepared.
"Repulsive Force," I cast a different spell. A powerful repelling force hits the monster's wide-opened mouth.
The magic attack began to destroy the inner part of the mouth. Seeing that I cast the gravity blast spells, targeting the monster's mouth.
Boom~
I continued to hit the monster's mouth one by one without minding the mana consumption.
Hiss~
The snake monster started hissing in pain. But I was in a hurry. Only after killing this monster, I can target the next one.
The snake monster is trying to use its regeneration kill. But the speed was slowing down because of the continuous attack.
When I thought it was over. The monster is going to go down. But I found the mana capacity has hit rock bottom.
I wasn't able to release the magic spell anymore. After reading that, my expression grew dark. If I gave any more time to the monster, the generation will pick up the speed.
The snake monster has closed its pupils. But damaged parts are recovering at a slow speed. The vitality of the monster is also improving. I can't let it happen.
If I miss this opportunity, then I have to use the recovery potion. Suddenly, my mind was struck with a realization. I remember picking up the broken piece of a weapon from the ancient battlefield a few months back.
If the weapon piece can injure the monster, then I'll end the monster without using the mana. When the thought comes to mind.
I quickly looked into the system space and found the broken weapon shard. When I brought it outside, the weapon released its aura.
Hiss~
When I was observing the weapon. I was disturbed by the hissing sound. But it was not coming from this monster but the 1st one.
My expression turned grave before turning toward the 2nd monster. I gripped the broken weapon and started approaching the head.
