Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From Mc's Perspective)

13th FLOOR,

After arriving at the 13th floor, I immediately found three Worker Ant Monsters with Class 1 Middle level strength. "Why is it quite similar to Black Forest's ant colony?" I whispered to myself. Last time I escaped from the terrible Class-2 Ant queen. At that time, My strength was weak.

Right now, I can easily deal with them. Compared to the tree monsters, this level is quite easy. After sorting out my thoughts, I moved.

These Ant monsters were giant in size, Twice the size of mine. These ant monsters were not mutated species. But commonly found in Monster Forest Zones around the world. Other than it's mandible and stinger, there is no other attack means.

The three Ant Monsters are slowly moving toward me. But they are quite distant from each other. I knew their snail-like speed was quite fake. Once they can burst out at real speed, they can reach me in seconds. As expected, one should not underestimate their intelligence.

After reaching in front of the incoming ant monster, I slash my sword at it. There is no essence power in it but I swung with full strength.

As my blade reaches near antennas to slash it. The Ant monster felt alarmed. It rolls backwards at great speed. Seeing that I knew it would react like that. Then I didn't hold back my power.

When the second ant monster reached near me,  I launched a defensive counterattack.

"LIGHTNING WHEEL"

A dense purple lightning wheel bursts out in power. A sudden cracking sound resonates in the area. The incoming Ant Monster jumps in fright. But it was too late to do anything. As the lightning wheel expands in a blink of an eye, it touches the ant monster's body.

As a result of it, the ant monster electrocuted in an instant. But due to dense vitality in its body it still hangs it's life. On the other hand, Seeing the monster's tenacity I didn't faze. I ended its life with my next sword move.

The phantom of the second ant monster dissipates into thin air. Seeing the overbearing power lightning, I felt glad. At least my efforts were not in vain. Then I moved towards the other two frightened monsters. I ended their phantom in succession.

Then a bright light fell on me, I recovered my peak state instantly due to that. Later, I appeared on the fourteenth floor.

14th FLOOR,

I appeared on the 14th floor. What greeted me was the power of the fire element. I looked around to spot the four Class 1 – Middle level Strength Monster running towards me. Their size is three times that of mine.

"Crimson Rock Bull"

Seeing that I had a look of yearning, " Finally, there is  Something new to see. I actually got bored fighting against common monsters." I mumbled under my breath.

Elemental monsters are the real threat. I can see the Crimson Bull is spitting fireballs from its mouth. It's huge horn is glowing like a molten red iron rod.  That kind of temperature, it's horn can easily tear through human skin. I gulped down my saliva visualizing that. Fortunately, it's just a phantom spirit. But it's really creepy. It actually feels very real.

The huge incoming bull gushing out a hot stream through its nostrils. Upon reaching a targetable distance. The Crimson Rock Bull spits out a huge fire ball towards him. On the other hand, the rest of the bulls also caught up with it and spit out several fire balls against him.

On the other hand, I saw those monster's actions. I couldn't help but feel, Sometimes numbers can pose more of a threat than actual strength. Seeing the incoming fire balls, I hurriedly flew away from the spot. As the several fire balls on the empty land.

"Boom" A defeating sound reverberated throughout the area.

A huge mushroom cloud smoke rose from that place. Seeing those failed attacks, the rest of the bulls begin to find the trace of Zack..

On the other hand, I flew a few metres backwards. Fortunately, this space had quite large space. I can see those fireball strengths. If I was at first level, this might get me into trouble. Thankfully, I'm strong. I had a feeling in my heart to test those fireballs. But I won't do that. Who knows if my essence gets dries out, I may forcibly thrown from this start tower challenge. So, far I'm not sure how to deal with these. Elemental bull,

As far as I can think, I can only eliminate them one by one.  Otherwise they will target me with those first balls. A few minutes later, Suddenly, those monsters found the trace of mine. I didn't hold back. I launched a sword attack to test its strength.

"SWORD DIVIDE"

A cracking purple lightning strike falls on the first bull.

"Boom" a thundering sound resonated in the area.

As the smoke cleared out, I found the crimson bull only slowed down for a moment. Other than a few superficial scars, there is not much damage. A moment later, the crimson bull in wrath breathed fire through its nostrils.

Seeing my full blown attack not even effective, I felt amazed. Don't tell me not only humans, even class monsters can leapfrog and fight. I knew it, Elemental Monsters were not a good thing. My overbearing lightning couldn't completely eliminate its fire elements.

I knew these crimson rock bull monsters are treasure. If any fire elemental warriors see this, their eyes would be green with envy.  Unfortunately, it's not useful to me. After sorting out my thoughts, I flew towards the last bull monster in a s-pattern path speedily. So, they can't target me.

A moment later, When I reached near the last bull monster. I didn't give it any chance to attack me. I twisted my wrist and punched it against its body. In this attack I released full body strength.

As my fists land a hit on its body, a muffled sound escapes from its mouth. Then it's huge body staggered. Seeing that it's working, I held my sword and made a deep penetration with it. It's abdomen it's a weak point. As long as I can break it's soft abdomen, I can easily defeat it.

Seeing the monster trying to fight back, I launched a lightning attack.

"Lightning Wheel"

A bursting thunderous wheel touches the body. In a moment, it detonated.

"Boom"

I staggered backwards due to it. I felt completely bewildered for a moment. Seeing my attack detonated, I couldn't believe my eyes. "This, why does it happen?" I whispered to myself. Usually, I had good control over this wheel attack.

Just as I ponder it, the other hand smoke dissipates. I saw a scene which shocked me to the core. This huge crimson rock bull is going to detonate it's core. I sucked cold breath. I clearly felt fire elemental fluctuation from it's stomach. There is a crimson like ball glowing in bright red inside it's stomach.

Seeing that I knew it was the monster core, then I gripped my sword and moved quite a distance from this place. In a few seconds,

"Boom"

The Crimson Bull Rock Monster explodes its own core, hereby dissipates into thin air. On the other hand, seeing the aftermath, I sighed in relief. Good guy, even if I'm a Special Trainee. There is no way I would be unscathed from it's detonation. Fortunately, I escaped from elimination. No wonder, they say it's hard to clear above level 10. Monster's intelligence is not to be trifled with.

Then I saw three other monsters coming towards this place. I immediately flew towards the far distance. Thank goodness, the space is quite wide. I can recover my peak strength. Later I can make an attack on the other three monsters.

On the other hand, three other crimson bulls roaming around the detonated area. They are trying hard to search for the traces of Zack.

After reaching quite far, I sat down and tried to recover my peak state.  Only thinking that can aid me to clear this level is my full strength. Both of my lightning attacks were not working properly. I really regret not training in more attack techniques. Maybe this might be the difference between those big forces and small forces.

Thanks to my teacher, otherwise I won't even have this attack method right now. I smiled wryly, thinking about how the Elder Thornton expected me to reach at least the sixth floor. No wonder this means I'm not weak. He thinks I don't have attacking and defensive means against these monsters.

I take a deep breath and put behind those complex thoughts. For now just focus on this level. It would be better if I take one step at a time. I sipped my consciousness into the storage ring and took out some monster cores to replenish my strength. Fortunately, My storage ring is not banned here.

I placed the first monster core in my palm and I slowly began to recite the blood method. In this instant, My blood ring runs in my mind begins to flicker. As it flickers dazzlingly, I begin to observe the monster's essence.. A warm current coursing through my vein and filling my dantian gradually.
