YM778.TV Chapter 224 - Clearing The14th Floor
After putting those complex thoughts behind, I stood up from the ground. It\'s good that earlier on the way here I didn\'t leak out my breath. Then I immediately moved from this spot to find them. A couple of minutes later, I found Crimson Ball Rock Monster. It\'s roaming lonely and there are no other monsters near it.
Seeing that a bright glow flashes in my eyes. I know this is a good opportunity to seize. Thinking that I held my black sword and went nearer to it. On other hand, the crimson bull monster perceived the trace of Zack. It immediately turned around to see him. After confirming it, a huge fire element is gathering around its mouth. It wants to target and kill him directly.
Seeing it\'s action, I didn\'t faze. I can easily release my invisible aura. But there is a possibility that it won\'t be effective. So, I don\'t want to test it. It\'s a good opportunity to kill. Then I increased my pace and dashed towards it. As I got nearer to it, it released a huge fire ball towards me. Seeing that I side stepped enough to evade it, on the other hand a huge fireball hit an empty space and landed on the ground.
"Boom" a deafening sound resonated the area,
A huge cloud of smoke rose from the ground. The other hand, by observing its weak spot. I made a long slash at it\'s abdomen. The black blade easily tore through the skin. Which made the monster completely immobile for a moment. Then I launched a lightning attack.
"Lightning wheel"
A huge purple lightning wheel formed in a moment. In that instant thunderous sound reverberated the area which greatly altered the other three monsters. As the lightning wheel touches it\'s body, the lightning power bursts out completely. As a result the lightning power charcoal its entire body. The monster let out a muffled sound, using the monster\'s weak moment I drew the sword further deeper further ending it\'s life. As the monster dies, it dissipates into thin air.
After killing the monster, I didn\'t stay here. I plan to locate the other two monsters. I believe after hearing that crashing sound, they will be marching near me.
…
Outside the Star Tower, when Zack cleared the 13th floor. The corresponding changes also take place in the leaderboard ranking.
[Name, Place- Floor- Clearance Time – Rank]
[Zack Lockwood, Hansen – 13th – 25min – 1st]
At this point of time, no one left from the first batch except Zack. There were only the last few members left out from the second batch and third batch. Seeing the sudden changes and the name of Zack Lockwood constantly flashing in the leaderboard ranking. They already become numb to the point.
But there were some warriors who noticed the changes in leaderboard ranking. "Looks like after level 10 it\'s extremely difficult." One of the warriors from the third batch mumbled under his breath. He has been aware of the changes in the leaderboard, particularly the clearance time. After seeing Zack take this much time to clear, He felt that that round must be difficult for him.
Suddenly, at this time a warrior from the second batch walked out from the tower. He fails to clear the 10th floor. Seeing him walking out of the star tower, the official gestures to the next person from the second batch to enter the challenge tower. The next person is none other than the Darius Case.
Seeing he is called out, Darius glanced at Sallie and Ella. Then he strides forward to enter. Of the remaining three of them, the other three from the crimson hall already left for the meeting hall. Earlier, they just came with them to accompany.
On the other hand, Seeing Darius stepped inside the tower. Sallie commented, "Ella, What do you think? Is that Darius going to reach the 20th floor?" She said in a curiosity. For others it\'s difficult to clear the 10th floor. But for them it\'s easy, since they are Special Trainees. So, far other than Zack, there are no Special Trainee Warriors beside them. That\'s why they walked out of the tower so soon.
Hearing Sallie\'s words, Ella takes a side glance at the leaderboard ranking, especially clearance time. Zack is also a Special Trainee. For him to take such time to clear those levels. She has been intrigued, and she knows deep down in her heart that it\'s not going to be easy. So she said, "Sallie, We will eventually know, when we step inside. And I\'m not sure about Darius\'s ability either. He may be hiding deep. Hearing that Sallie nodded she also thought like that.
…
1st Floor Darius Case,
When Darius stepped inside, he immediately found Pseudo Monster. It\'s just a pseudo monster belonging to a mixed breed family.
Seeing that pseudo monster, a surprise glint flashes in his eyes. He immediately flickered his finger to generate the fire ball. A huge red fire ball formed above his palm.
On the other hand, the pseudo monster frightened. Before it could flee, it saw huge incoming fire ball in a blink of eye. But it was too late to do anything. As the monster dissipates into thin air when the fire ball touches its body.
At the same time, a bright light fell over him and he appeared on the second floor. When he appeared on the second floor, a realization dawned upon him. "No wonder, that Zack guy cleared the first few floors in a few seconds." He whispered to himself.
When he was pondering it, a bright light flashes over him. There are two common sparrow pseudo monsters in front of him. Seeing the two Pseudo monsters Darius Case didn\'t even flinch his eyes. He flickered his finger to generate flames, Immediately the two monsters dissipated into thin air. As usual the bright light fell over him, he immediately appeared at the 3rd floor.
…
Outside of the star tower, inside the meeting hall. Robb Williamson, Austin and Bradley were starting at the leaderboard. Since Darius entered the floor, they have wanted to see his performance. Three of them had different thoughts running through their mind.
Upon seeing Darius clearing the two floors in no time. A surprise glint flashes before Robb\'s eyes, "It looks like I worried for nothing" He mumbled under his breath. The other hand faces of Austin and Bradley eased a little bit.
The other hand , Austin raised his eyebrow and asked, "Robb, Looks like Zack won\'t be able to reach the 20th floor." He said in a surprised tone. At first, he was quite worried about seeing his clearance time. But now seeing Darius is also clearing the floors in no time. He got new hope filled in his heart.
Heading Austin\'s question, Robb answered, " I just know above level 20 is really difficult. He might reach the 18th floor. I don\'t think the above is possible. Hearing that Bradley and Austin nodded at his words.
…
A few minutes later, I spotted two other monsters. They were roaming around together. "This will be a little tricky" I mumbled under my breath. It\'s hard to reach it\'s abdomen area to attack. For that you need to get closer to it. For a moment, I begin to ponder. What if I use an invisible aura to disturb them, it might cause them to flee in the opposite direction. Then I can use that opportunity to chase them down to kill separately.
After sorting out my thoughts, I moved towards them. Upon sensing my arrival, both of the monsters begin to act. I gripped my sword and moved faster. On the way, I evaded those fireballs to get near to it. As I got near to the crimson ball, I used my blood element. I released the invincible aura to deter.
When the invisible aura got pressed on those monsters, they got overwhelmed with fear. I used this opportunity to slay it\'s abdomen. Then I used the two lightning attacks consecutively to end those monsters. A couple of seconds later, those two monsters dissipate into thin air. Then eventually, a bright light fell over me and I appeared on the 15th floor.
…
When I appeared on the 15th floor, my heart palpitated a little. I know I\'m going to face five middle level strength monsters. But I\'m hoping it won\'t be an elementary one. It already took great effort to clear those bull monsters. It also poses great difficulty when fighting against huge numbers. I\'m clear about one thing, I\'m going to kill them separately.
Just as I began to ponder, I heard a loud "shriek". It sounded like a almost bird cry.
"Damn" I cursed at my bad luck. If it\'s a bird monster. How am I going to hunt them down separately? I felt a great crisis.. I only got one long range attack method, but I need to use it wisely before consuming my essence completely.
