From MC's Perspective:
Seeing that the core progression rate was increased. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. In a few days, the mana core will reach its limit.
After closing the status panel, I began to get ready.
Several minutes later,
I changed to the academy uniform. Then I left the room. After stepping out of the dorm building, I started walking toward the Academy building.
I didn't go to the dining hall. Because I got an uneasy feeling in my heart. It will attract trouble if I stay outside for too long.
Soon I reached the phone booth. Students are walking by. So I avoided them before quickly reaching the booth and entering inside.
Then I selected the location. The phone booth began to shake right after the selection. It slowly descends into the dark space.
After a few minutes, the booth came to a halt. Seeing that, I stepped outside. When I looked ahead, The crowd of people gathered in front of the tower amazed me once again.
Then looking at the groups. I didn't find the silhouette of Tony Burnett. Looks like he has not arrived yet. A gloomy glint flashes in my eyes.
From that guy's words from yesterday. I think he wanted to fight against me no matter what. If he still has the same thinking, then he might appear again.
After figuring it out, I slowly walked toward the Battle Tower Entrance.
The wizard students groups who were talking. Quieted down all of a sudden. The appearance of Vincent Carey made them shut their mouths.
As I reached the entrance, my eyes flickered. There are a lot of gazes on me. But this time, the gazes are more of respect, fear, and envy. There are few gazes filled with hatred.
This improvement was unexpected. Then I took a step forward and entered the Battle Tower.
Swoosh~
I appeared in the middle of the dark space.
[Floor: 41]
[The challenge starts in 5 minutes]
After hearing the announcement. I began to get ready. I brought a sword artifact outside and held it in my right hand.
Five minutes later,
The environment changes drastically. The sky was completely darkened. The landscape was dark in color as well.
The whole place looks like some kind of special land.
Feeling something, I furrowed my eyebrows. There was no presence of god manga here. The whole place is reeking with an evil aura.
As I guessed before, the difficulty was increased on this floor. The environment itself is posing a threat to the challenger.
Then I looked around and found the pieces of broken rubble. Seeing that I continued to walk forward.
After walking past the rubble, I found the structure of ruin. Before I could think further.
Howl~
A howling sound disturbed me all of a sudden. The sound is coming from ahead. Which means the monster is closer to me.
I stood in the same spot, waiting for the monster.
A couple of seconds later,
A big black red-eyed wolf made an appearance. A massive evil aura is emitting from the monster's body.
A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes. This was no ordinary monster. After realizing that, I decided to probe the monster.
"System, probe the monster in front of me," I said to the system.
[Ding! The Host's voice is recognized]
[Status Panel]
[Name: Evil Black Wolf]
[Level: 5th-Order- Peak]
[Strength: 500]
[Vitality: 500]
[Speed: 500]
[Stamina: 500]
[Skill: Evil Coercion, Heavy Bite, Metal Claws, Fast Speed, Double Strength]
I looked at the status panel. This monster's attributes are full. It has reached the limit of the 5th order in the true sense.
On top of it, the body of the monster is filled with corrupted mana. This dark plain is the ideal place for black evil wolves to live.
While I'm looking at the monster. The monster is also observing me. The monster is almost 10 ft tall in height.
Compared to the previous floors, this is going to give me a headache.
Howl~
The wolf howled all of a sudden before rushing to attack the enemy.
The speed was so fast that in a few steps, the monster entered the spell-casting range.
"Gravity Field," I cast the spell.
The powerful gravitational pressure is applied to the monster. The monster's speed slowed down within the field.
Seeing that I continued to pour the mana. It's not wise to engage the monster in close combat.
As the second passes, the gravitational force multiplies. The wolf started to feel pressure. It's letting out miserable howls in pain.
Seeing that magic spell is dominating. I didn't let down my guard. Because the monster hasn't used it yet.
Right after, a terrible change took place.
The black wolf monster is releasing a more evil aura.
[Ding! Warning]
[Danger is detected near]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind. Hearing that my expression turned solemn. Avoiding the warning signal, I continued to pour the mana.
The Black wolf monster felt threatened. So it used the double strength skill.
But at the same time, the gravitational force also increases the pressure on the monster.
Crack~
Suddenly, the strength of the monster doubled. The gravity field broke all of a sudden. The black wolf monster managed to walk out of the field. Feeling the gaze of the monster, I felt a sense of danger.
It must be using one of its skills.
"System, probe the monster in front of me," I said to the system.
[Ding! The Host's voice is recognized]
[Status Panel]
[Name: Evil Black Wolf]
[Level: 5th-Order- Peak]

[Speed: 500*2 (Skill in effect)]
[Stamina: 500*2 (Skill in effect)]
[Skill: Evil Coercion, Heavy Bite, Metal Claws, Fast Speed, Double Strength]
I saw the status panel. After seeing the skill in effect. A look of understanding dawned on me. If I engage in close combat the monster can beat me into the pulp.
But I believe it's a temporary skill. And the sudden increase in strength won't come without a price.
