Chapter 512 Defeated Thompson
From MC's perspective:
Time passed,
After clearing the 36th floor, I cleared the 37th and 38th floors in a few hours. Compared to the green-dotted snake monsters. These Red Tail Scorpions monsters are hard to kill.
It took a lot of time to clear these two floors.
[Floor: 39th]
[The challenge starts in 5 minutes.]
After a few minutes, I appeared back in the same place covered with piles of rocks and boulders.
There are 9 monsters on these floors. Again, it's a pain in the a$$ to find the monsters and kill them one by one.
Rustle~
When I'm pondering, the rustling noise brings my attention back to reality.
To my surprise, I saw 2 Red Tail scorpion monsters in front of me. Both the monsters are inside my spell-casting range.
"Gravity Field," I uttered.
A powerful gravitational force appeared on the ground. The 2 Red Tail Monsters were caught off guard. The pressure is directly applied to their body.
Crack~
A crackling sound can be heard from their hard skin. Using this opportunity, I dashed toward them. When I got closer, I brought the weapon artifact outside.
Click~
I heavily thrust the sword into its head. The blade easily penetrated through its body. The Grade-6 Artifact is something. It's making the job a lot easier in this trial.
After doing that, I removed the sword and started attacking the next monster. The combination of gravity field and weapon attack saved me a lot of time.
I don't have to wait for the monster's vitality to drop. Using the weapon, I can make them bleed faster.
Pfff~
The blade penetrates inside the head of the monster. Blood splattered on the ground. Together with the work of the Gravity Field.
The 2 monsters lost their breath within a few seconds. Then I canceled the spell and began to collect the crystal gem.
After a few minutes, I started moving in the opposite direction in search of the monster. I looked at the sword weapon in my hand. My eyes flickered.
I started using the weapon artifact from the previous 2 floors. The one thing I came to understand. Using weapons not only saves time but also mana.
It would have saved me a lot of trouble. If I had thought of this before. After pushing down these thoughts, I began to investigate the surroundings
"2 down. Now there are 7 more to go," I said in my heart.
Soon, I spotted another monster. But this time the Red Tail Monster was alone. It was hiding behind several large boulders.
If I had not been careful, I would have missed it by now.
Then I started approaching the monster. I decided to use the same tactics. First, trap the monster inside my gravity field. Then injure the monster by using the weapon.
The Red Tail Monster senses the danger. Before it tries to flee, a sudden pressure locks the monster on the spot.
After a few seconds, a sharp blade went through the skull of the monster.
Pfff~
Blood spilled. Ignoring that, I began to collect the crystal gem.
"6 more to go," I said to myself.
Then I started walking forward. Not long after, I came across the monsters again. Surprisingly, 4 Red Tail Monsters are resting in the same spot.
Since there are four monsters. My presence was found by one of them. The next moment, the monsters got alarmed and started to attack me with the stinger.
I raise the sword to block the stinger.
Clang~
Metallic collision sounds can be heard. When the sword comes in contact with a stinger. The stinger was so hard that it did not break after coming into contact with the sword.
"Gravity Field"
I cast the magic spell at this moment. The gravitational force caught the monster by surprise.
Especially to the monster which is closer to me. When the monster faltered. I raised the sword and made a vertical cut.
The two giant claws weren't able to defend the coming sword. The sword blade easily penetrated the monster's head.
This all happened in a blink of an eye.
After removing the sword, I started attacking the next monster within the spell range.
Time passed,
After 15 minutes, I looked at the four corpses of the Red Tail Monster. This time it was easy, I caught four monsters in one group.
If it's the same situation every time, then I can clear the rest of the floors easily.
2 more to kill. After that, I can enter the 40th floor.
...
Outside,
A person walked out of the Battle Tower. The next moment, all the eyes fell on him. He is none other than Thompson. A Level-5 wizard of the Elemental Hall.
Thompson was in high spirits. Since he had successfully cleared the 38th floor. He had surpassed his record. Which was the 35th floor.
It's a pity that he wasn't able to reach the 39th floor. And the 40th floor which was out of his league right now. His strength is not high yet.
So in a better mood, he stepped out to see the reaction of the people.
The next moment, he stood in disbelief.
Quiet~
There was an unknown silence. Thompson wasn't expecting this kind of reception. He found that people's gazes are different.
Everyone is looking at him with a doubtful gaze. After realizing that, he uttered in shock, "What happened?"
Thompson then turned toward the Elemental Hall students. He is their Senior brother. When he saw the eye of their junior brother.
He was dumbfounded again. Because they are looking at him and then toward the Leader Board Ranking.
Seeing that Thompson turned toward the Leader Board Rankings. But when he saw the changes. A cold shiver went down his spine.
"Vincent Carey," He uttered in a trembling voice.
Because the Leader Board Rankings show that Vincent is on the 39th floor. Which he failed to enter.
What does it mean? The rookie is stronger than the old wizard students. Now he came to realize.
Why did the wizard students look at him with a doubtful gaze? Seems like they don't understand the difficulty of the Trial.
