Chapter 550 Part 42: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
The wizard groups are gathered outside. But surprisingly more people started coming in. At first, the wizard students who were already there didn't notice it.
But as time passed, the wizards from the other halls started noticing it. Because the newcomers all were from the Bloodline Hall.
So the atmosphere became quite strange. Amongst the bloodline wizard groups, many of them came here after the latest instruction.
The person who kills Vincent Carey will be rewarded with the bloodline improvement potion.
Such a reward no one wants to miss it. But the other wizard halls don't know about this matter.
Time passed by,
Everyone is staring at the LeaderBoard Rankings. It will be a matter of time before Vincent Carey walks out.
At this time, no one thinks he will fail.
Sub-Taboo Hall:
Carolina Slate is looking at the screen as well. A lot of things have happened lately. But she can't share any of them with Vincent right now.
But she can tell him after the Trials.
'I hope you can clear the remaining floors," She said to herself.
She is not naive anymore. She has seen the influence of the bloodline during the meeting with the dean.
Even the dean was helpless. She thinks that Tony Burnett got away with the light punishment. It's all because of the Bloodline Hall's interference.
Carolina also had seen the helplessness of Senior Brother Gilbert and Elder Galvin. After witnessing all of this, she decided not to reveal her secrets.
Initially, she wanted to speak about the relics which she had absorbed. But she later changed her mind.
If the news is exposed, it might cause her harm more than good. Even it's doubtful whether Senior Gilbert or other elders can save her.
So she decided to keep this news secret. She stretched her palm casually, the next second thick dark green vine rose from her palm.
The vine looks completely different than before. After looking at it, she retracted her vine back.
...
From MC's perspective:
"3 more to go," I muttered to myself, looking at the corpse of the monster. I had already spent so much time on this floor.
I don't want to waste any more time. Then I left the place in search of the remaining monsters.
Shortly after, I came across the fox monsters. The last remaining monsters are wandering together.
My presence alerted them immediately.
The 2 monsters started to spit fire. While the last one is watching me carefully. The blazing flame quickly covered the nearby areas and came towards me at fast speed.
At this point, I am already used to the monster's tactic. Apart from the evil gaze skill nothing threatens me.
When the flame got closer. I cast the magic spell in response.
"Repulsive Force," I muttered.
A repelling force is released from the body. The next second, the force swept away the surroundings.
When the flames come in contact with the force.
Boom~
A terrible sound reverberated through the area. The repelling force has managed to scatter the terrifying flame in all directions.
Seeing that the monsters startled all of a sudden. I held the sword artifact in my hand and was ready to face the monster.
Time passed by,
One after another confrontations broke out. But none of the monsters had used the evil gaze skill. Which made me fight longer.
An hour later, a wave of exhaustion hit me. I know this is a sign of mana exhaustion. At the same time, I looked at the monsters in front of me.
The fox monster has some strength left. But I can't continue the fight without recovering the mana.
Swoosh~
I appeared in the Gregor Mansion and consumed the recovery potion.
Several minutes later,
I appeared back outside. But I found that the monsters were not there. They must have gone somewhere during my absence.
After figuring it out, I started moving forward. Not long after, I found one of the monsters resting on the dune.
Grrrll~
The monster growled after spotting me. It seems agitated. But I don't think it will blindly attack me.
The monsters have intellect. After having all this confrontation, the monsters didn't attack me blindly anymore.
Which gives me a headache. I hope this monster won't slip away from my hands.
The fox monster's eyes flash with killing intent. The monster wants to tear apart the enemy.
Out of desperation, the monster started to use one of the deadly skills. The next moment, the monster's eyes turned pitch black.
[Ding! Warning]
[Detected: Host is under attack]
On the other hand, a set of warnings reached me. Right after, I appeared in the Gregor Mansion to avoid a mental attack.
When this was over. I appeared back again. But this time, I took the initiative to attack.
"Gravity Field," I cast the magic spell.
Right after, a tremendous gravitational force appeared within the field. The fox monster was weakened during an earlier confrontation.
So the sudden appearance of the pressure caught the monster off guard. It couldn't break free by using half-strength.
Seeing that my eyes flickered and I continued to increase the mana. It's good that I have already replenished my mana. Now I can take care of this monster.
Time passed,
Under the increase in pressure of the gravitational force. The fox monster wasn't able to hold on. On top of it, the power of gravity also breaks its body slowly.
Finally, the monster succumbed to pressure a few minutes later. Seeing that I canceled the spell before walking toward the corpse.
I inserted the sword blade in its head and retrieved the crystal gem. After taking a glance at the monster's body, I decided to kill the other 2 as soon as possible.
One hour later,
[Floor Cleared: 70]
[The next challenge will start tomorrow]
The announcement sounded. And I found myself standing in the black space again.
A recovery potion appeared in front of me. After taking it in my storage bracelet, I decided to exit.
Swoosh~
When I stepped out. As usual, my gaze fell on the leaderboard ranking. After taking a glance at my name and floor, I decided to head back to the dorm room.
