Chapter 565 Part 49: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
From MC's perspective:
Time passed in the blink of an eye,
After clearing the next consecutive floors within a few floors. I appeared on the 85th floor.
[Floor: 85]
The environment was the same semi-arid environment with dense earth mana in the surroundings.
Standing firmly on the ground. I waited for the monsters to appear. One good thing though the Brown Star Salamander is extremely cautious.
They won't attack me from the get-go. A few seconds later, the ground beneath me started to crack.
Seeing that I retreated a few steps backward. Right after, a 20-foot-long brown star salamander appeared on the ground.
"System, probe the monster," I said to the system.
[Ding! The Host's voice is recognized]
[Status Panel]
[Name: Brown Star Salamander]
[Level: 6th-Order- Peak]
[Strength: 591]
[Vitality: 592]
[Speed: 593]
[Stamina: 592]
[Skill: Sand attack, Mud attack, Hard defense, Heavy Blow.]
A row of information appeared before my eyes. When I was observing the status panel. The 2nd monster is starting to appear on the surface.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. The next second, I brought the sword forward. I have to try to injure the monster before it's too late.
Swoosh~
I started charging against the monster. From the earlier clashes in the previous floors. I had found the weak spot of the monster.
Where can I make the monster bleed more? The neck of the monster is a weak spot. Where it has soft tissue. My blade can penetrate more deeply.
On the other hand, the monster moved its body. Seeing that I increased my pace. After taking a few steps, I got closer to the monster.
Chop~
I swung my sword against the monster. When my blade got closer to the target. The monster easily raises its paw to block it.
Clang~
A metallic collision sound reverberated throughout the area.
A small spark appeared because of the clash. Seeing that, I retracted my sword and started to swing again.
Clang~
One after another metallic collision sounds reverberated throughout the area.
During the fighting, I almost forgot about the presence of the 2nd monster.
When I felt something charging against me. Then I realized my mistake. I quickly retreated backward to make the gap between us.
Both the monsters now joined together. Seeing that I furrowed my eyebrows. It's not easy to attack the weak spot. Both the monsters are fully charged now.
If they become weaker then their reflex also becomes slower. It was the same case as the previous one. But I'm hoping that monster would make mistakes. So that I can get a chance.
Seeing that the monster is starting to attack. I brought my thoughts back to reality. The monsters opened their mouths one after another.
Two beams of the sand attack shot at me. Seeing that I appeared in the Gregor mansion. I already learnt my lesson from the previous floors.
Getting hit in front of those beams would cost me more recovery potion. After figuring it out, I waited for the aftermath to disperse.
Shortly after, both the monsters returned to their docile self. Then I appeared on the ground and cast the "Zero Gravity" Magic spell one after another targeting the monster.
When the gravity attacks come into contact with the monster. It made the monsters float above from the ground. Thereby causing disturbance to their stability.
Right after, I moved closer to the monster. By using the monsters' improper movement. I swung my sword against the monster targeting the weak spot.
Cut~
The sword blade easily pierces through the skin causing deep wounds.
Pfff~
Blood started to gush out from the injury spot. Seeing that I targeted the next monster. It took me a few more attempts to cause the same wound to the 2nd monster.
A few moments later the ground was dyed with blood. Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I inflicted the damage without relying on the magic spell.
I'm starting to feel the importance of the combat arts. Maybe I should learn proper sword techniques later.
After pushing down these thoughts, I shifted my gaze back to the monster.
"System, probe the monster," I said to the system.

[Speed: 593(-136)]
[Stamina: 592(-137)]
[Skill: Sand attack, Mud attack, Hard defense, Heavy Blow.]
A row of information appeared before my eyes. After looking at the details, I probed the details of the next monster. When the status panel appeared. I realized both situations are similar.
The sword attack managed to cause significant damage. But it was not enough to cripple the monster.
Rumble~
The monsters started to attack. One of the monsters opened its mouth to release the sand attack.
The second monster is making the ground more wet.
After realizing this, I once again slipped away from the place and appeared in the Gregor Mansion.
Boom~
The sand attack lands a blow to the empty ground. The impact force swept away the surrounding area. The attack left a deep pit on the ground.
Both monsters startled all of a sudden. There was no sign of the enemy again. The enemy disappeared under their nose.
When the monsters are confused. Something else happened. Two more monsters appeared on the scene. Now four monsters are grouped except the remaining one.
In the Gregor Mansion, I knitted my eyebrows further. Everything was going fine. But the appearance of the new monster made me change my plan.
It would be best if I lured the monster away. After pondering, I appeared back in the place. Seeing my appearance, the monsters were startled.
Before the monster could attack. I cast the "Zero Gravity" Spell against the new monsters. Both the monsters entered my spell-casting range. So the attack reached them in the blink of an eye.
Boom~
The spell attack made them unstable. I also kept my eye on the other 2 monsters. Both are looking to attack me.
Using this opportunity, I got near the monsters and raised my sword to attack them at the weak spot.
