Chapter 568 Part 52: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
John is watching the trial of Vincent Carey.
Just as he is enjoying leisure time.
Beep~
He got a call from the auction house manager. Seeing that he immediately attended the call. After speaking to that person, he ended the call.
But his expression showed neither joy nor happiness.
"Didn't expect that meteor rock to be available at the auction house," John muttered to himself.
He knows that thing is important for Vincent Carey. But he can't go outside to retrieve it. It will attract a lot of prying eyes.
There are already groups staring at his whereabouts. If he goes to the auction house, then there is a possibility that people will follow his back.
"Can't let anyone know about the meteor rock details," He said in his heart. Exposure would risk Vincent Carey's interest.
Then he made up his mind to send a message to Vincent. He knows Senior Gilbert is guarding their Hall. In case of emergency, he would appear.
After sending the message, he heaved a sigh of relief.
...
From MC's Perspective:
[Floor: 90]
Time passed in the blink of an eye,
After clearing the consecutive floors, I started killing the monsters on the 90th floor. Killing the monsters by attacking their weak spot saved me a lot of time.
Now, there are 2 remaining monsters. But so far the last 2 monsters haven't appeared before me. Looks like I have to find them myself.
Then I started searching for them. Not long after, I found another crack in the ground. Seeing that I immediately became alerted.
The monster is resting down here.
"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: 598]
[Vitality: 597]
[Speed: 598]
[Stamina: 599]
[Skill: Sand attack, Mud attack, Hard defense, Heavy Blow.]
A row of information appeared before my eyes. After confirming it the monster was indeed the one I was looking for. I started attacking the monster.
"Gravity Blast," I cast the magic spell. A wisp of magic is released from the finger and reaches the target in the blink of an eye.
Boom~
Right after, the explosion occurs. The deafening sound reverberated throughout the area.
The Brown Star Salamander appeared above the surface. Right after the monster started charging against the enemy who distributed its peace.
Seeing that I get a familiar feeling. Whenever the monster rushes towards me. I used to use the same spelling.
"Zero Gravity," I cast the magic spell.
In a blink of an eye, the spell lands a blow. Because of it the monster lost its balance and crashed to the ground.
Boom~
Dust rose from the ground. Seeing that I rushed forward to attack its weak spot. I held the sword artifact in my hand and was ready to insert it anytime.
The monster felt dizzy. But before it could become stable. A sword blade pierces its neck.
Pfff~
Blood splattered on the ground. The monster becomes infuriated. It blindly rushes toward the enemy again.
Crash~
A few seconds later, it again crashes to the ground. Again, the sword blade penetrated deep inside the injury.
Blood gushes out from the neck, causing the vitality to drop even more. Seeing that I retreated backward.
I should avoid confrontation whenever it's possible. Because the monster's heavy blow skill was no joke. I might use it anytime.
After confirming the drop in vitality, I decided to control the monster by using gravity.
"Gravity Field," I cast the magic spell. Because of the absence of the last monster. I got the opportunity to concentrate on the one single monster.
The next moment, a powerful gravitational force appears within the field. The pressure starts to weigh down on the monster slowly. The monster is trying to withstand the pressure.
But the injury is making it hard to do it. It can't move its head because of the neck injury. As time passes, the gravitational force increases.
The pressure becomes more than double causing the vitality to drop even faster. On the other hand, the gravity mana is consuming it at a faster rate.
12 minutes later,
The monster succumbed due to the injury and added pressure from the gravitational force. Then I walked forward to collect the crystal gem.
Time passed,
I found the last hiding monster a few minutes later. Then a fight broke out. As usual, I implemented the same tactic and attacked the weak spot.
Not long after, the monster suffered a severe blow from me. The injury in the neck was worse than the previous monster.
Which gave me a chance to control it by using the gravity field spell.
Time went on,
After 20 minutes of struggle, the monster gave up. It's lost its vitality completely.
[Floor Cleared: 90]
[The next challenge will continue tomorrow]
After hearing the announcement, I hurriedly collected the crystal gem. Then I appeared back in the black space.
Phew~
I heaved a sigh of relief. The next second, a heavy expression appeared on my face. I remembered the situation happening outside. I have been fighting for more than 18 hours.
"Clearing 20 floors continuously is not an easy job. I need some break," I mumbled under my breath.
A recovery potion appeared before me. Picking it up, I sat down cross-legged. Right now, I have to make a decision. Either I have to go outside and confront those people or I should continue the Trial.
A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes. To be honest the Salamander monster was not that weak. It's because of a combination of spells. I had managed to kill the monsters.
If I hadn't found its weakness, then I don't know how long it would have taken me to clear this floor. So the next floor might be more difficult than the current floor.
I don't know what type of monster is waiting for me. So far I have faced the elemental category. Most probably it would be a wind-type monster. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
After gaining some clarity, I decided to go outside to check the situation. If it's the same then I can enter the tower at any time.
