Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From Mc's Perspective)

15th Floor,

Fortunately, those bird monsters do not seem to contain endless energy. From time to time they come to the ground. What do I need to do now to separate them? I wondered. After making up my mind, I waited for a good opportunity. Ever since I killed the first monster, I chose to hide myself from them. Otherwise If they spot me, I can't guarantee the end result.

I'm quite confident in taking them down together. But since I'm contesting in a competition. I don't want to bet on chances. As I'm pondering it, suddenly I saw one of the bird monsters fly in the opposite direction. Seeing that a hint of surprise flashes before my eyes. I didn't think my opportunity would come so soon.

For safety, I glanced at other monsters. They don't seem to care about it's companions' behaviour. I feel relaxed, confirming that then I slowly moved towards that bird monster. A few minutes later,  when both monsters and I separated from the rest of the monsters. I released my breath of Initial – Trainee Apprentice.

I don't want to release the aura of my full strength. It would inevitably alert the monster. On the other hand, the bird monster notices my aura immediately. After sensing my breath it didn't hesitate to rush towards me.  It's already made its huge metal claw in attack position.

Seeing it's behaviour I smiled, "It took the bait" I mumbled under my breath. When it reaches me in a blink of an eye. I released my whole momentum and launched the lightning strike.

"Lightning Wheel"

A thunderous sound echoes the area. As the lightning wheel is bursting out with overbearing power. Seeing the overwhelming aura, the monster got alarmed. But it was too late to do anything as it's body crashed against the lightning wheel.

"Boom"

A defeating sound resonates in the area. As the whole body of the bird monster got smoked. It didn't even have enough vitality to put forth the fight.

On the other hand, Seeing my plan succeed. I gripped my sword and ended its life. Finally, the monster dissipates into thin air. It felt repetitive to use this method. But what to do? I don't have any other method apart from this. Shaking my head, I plan on luring those monsters and ending their life in the same method.

What's more important now is to clear the floor? After having determination, I moved. A half an hour later, after some waiting and planning. I ended those monsters in the same way. At this moment, a bright light falls on me. I recovered my peak state and I appear on the 16th floor.

16th Floor,

After appearing on the 16th floor, I feel like I need a break. Because here after, I can't use any tricks or do level suppression with my aura.  A Class 1 Peak Monster can fight against a Special Trainee. Each improvement in base corresponds to growth in strength and intelligence.

I take sharp breath as I felt fluctuations. Now, the terrain itself has changed. I feel like I'm in an empty land surrounded by forests. But deep down I know these were the work of some formations. That's why I didn't gave any importance to that so far.

Suddenly, Class 1 Peak monster appears to inform me. "Damn, this Elemental Monster again?" I was taken back.

Green Wolf Monster – Class 1 Peak Monster.

This green wolf monster is another product of the wolf monster family. And this one is not an ordinary class monster but a wind elemental one. I hate to see elemental monsters. That too wind elements amplifies the speed.

The Green Wolf monster upon seeing Zack, raises it's huge claw against him. The movement was so fast that even wind breaking sound can be heard. Seeing it's speed I burst out with full power to evade, while with my perception I noticed it's claw movements.

The Green Wolf Monstrous claw reaches near Zack, but he side stepped to avoid it in time. As the attack fails the Green wolf roars in anger. Using hind leg's power it leaps towards him at great speed. The movement was so swift everything was happening in seconds.

Seeing it suddenly burst out in speed. I held my back sword to cut downwards. As the black sword made a downward arc. The Green wolf uses its paw to press against it.

"Clang"

The Green Wolf didn't suffer any injury. As it's paw collides against black blade in equal strength. After the clash, no one retreats a step backwards.

A hint of amazement flashes before my eyes. It's common knowledge that monsters are a bit stronger than humans. Especially when compared to the same levels. But it still amazes me as I'm both body and essence cultivator. "Is it because of element ones? I wondered. I doubt whether the monster has any other attack methods.

On the other hand, Seeing for the second time the monster failed. It immediately released its main attack. As it begins to howl, a ball of wind energy gathers around in it's mouth.

Seeing that I readied myself. As the Green wolf launches a long wind scythe from its mouth. It  tore through the air in a blink of an eye. As the long wind scythe reaches him to cleave. On the other hand, Zack launched a defensive counter attack.

"Lightning Wheel"

The thunderous lightning wheel obliterated the wind scythe into thin air.

As my attack got successful, I decided to make a consecutive attack.

"Sword Divide"

A huge amount of lightning essence is being poured into black sword to charge it. In a few seconds I waved my sword against it. A powerful purple lightning burst out from the sword and strikes on the Green Wolf.

On the other hand, the Green wolf observes Zack movements when its wind scythe fails. But it didn't expect an alarming lightning power to fall on its body at breakneck speed. The Green wolf lets out a muffled groan due to agonising pain.

But with it's powerful body it endured the attack. As the attack momentum dies down, the Green wolf's eyes turn blood red. The lightning attack left with injury. But it's not life threatening enough to kill. The Green wolf stood from the ground to attack Zack.

As it dashing towards him in a random pattern. It's not running towards him in a straight path, with it's little intelligence it figures out that as long as it prevents the human being from aiming towards its body, it can kill him.

On the other hand, I saw that my attack is not effective against the Green Wolf. I didn't get surprised as it was under my expectation. As my mind raced to ponder the next plan. The Green wild moving towards me at great speed. I can see the Green wolf is using a wind element to enhance its speed. I can see it will reach me in a few breaths.

At this time, I released my blood element's invisible aura to deter its momentum.

On the other hand, a ripple appears in Green Wolf's blood red eyes upon sensing an ominous aura from Zack. It couldn't perceive what it is as a result its movement slows down a little. Using this opportunity on the other hand Zack strikes another decisive attack.

Sensing the Green Wolf's speed slows down a little, I smiled. I thought my trick could not work any more. But it helps me to gain a moment of opportunity. Seeing it rushing towards me after some hesitation. I decided to hit it with a lightning attack once again.

"Sword Divide"

I executed the sword move. Another purple lightning strike falls on the monster causing it to groan in agonising pain. This time the Green wolf gets completely immobile due to an overbearing lightning strike. As the overheating lightning power drills into the injured area, it causes further more damage.

And this time half of it's vitality is gone and I get deeply injured. It couldn't even move it's massive body again.

Seeing immobile Green Wolf I sighed in relief. These were the times I felt the advantage of having a lightning element. I don't know whether replacing it with another element can cause half of the damage done by the lightning element.

Shaking my head, I move towards it's fallen body. There is still some life left, but it won't cause any waves with it. After gripping my sword tightly, I sliced its neck to end it. As a result, with unwilling gaze the Green wolf dissipates into thin air.

I know so far I cleared consecutive levels unscathed. It is all thanks to my perpetual ability. If not for it I couldn't even exhibit half of the result. In a growth stage the help of perceptual ability is paramount. After reaching further higher levels, I can do these simple probes without relying on the ability.

Just as I begin to ponder, a bright light falls over me.. I disappeared from the spot and reached the 17th floor.
