From MC's perspective:
They didn't look at the 2 trapped humanoid monsters in the field. Rather the humanoid monster's eyes flickered with a greedy glint.
The monsters are greedy for their life. The emotion shown is different from other wild monsters in the Trial.
Meanwhile,
I have managed to stabilize the field. The dark power was not enough to break the field. Fortunately, there are only 2 monsters trapped under the field.
If there is one more, then it would be impossible to control the field.
At the same time, I felt something strange. Like someone is watching from the dark. As this feeling rose, I felt a strong chill in my back.
It's not a coincidence. I think the other monsters have appeared. But they're hiding in the dark. Thanks to the experience of the previous floors.
I know the monsters love to hide in the dark and watch their prey struggle. This almost gives me creepy vibes.
After pushing down these thoughts, I shifted my attention back to the field.
The 2 humanoid monsters start to show some struggles. The 3rd stage gravity is restricting their movements.
Not long after, both the monsters have several cracks on their body. Their body wasn't able to withstand more pressure.
Seeing that I got excited and focused on stabilizing the field.
At the same time, the monsters hiding in the dark acted. In a blink of an eye, a massive fist covered with dark air power shot at the prey.
The other hand, the monster's body is crumbling into pieces.
Pfff~
While I was watching something hit me hard. I felt my mind go blank for a moment. When the trace of clarity appeared.
Swoosh~
My body disappeared and I appeared in the Gregor Mansion.
Argh~
A muffled grunt left my body. I'm hearing the cracking of bones. All the senses of my body are screaming at me.
The pain was overwhelming. If I waste anymore time, I might faint. So I took several recovery potions and consumed them one after another.
Then only I lowered my body and looked at my condition.
My entire body was covered with blood. My heart set off storms. It was a miracle to remain in one piece.
Then I hurriedly started to run the mental method.
Several minutes later,n0VElUSb.c0M
I felt the pain was little. It was not hurting anymore. But looking at the bloodied body. I felt no good. The smell is attacking my nostril.
Then I checked my bones. The cracks have disappeared. As I had guessed the recovery potions are not ordinary. They also contain strong healing energy.
Swoosh~
Then I stood up and appeared back outside. Seeing the corpse of the 3 humanoid monsters in the deep pit. I sighed inwardly. At least my previous effort was not in vain.
The 7th order monster's attack was so fast that even the system failed to remind me. I thought that the new update has improved everything.
Looks like there are some conditions. After pushing down these thoughts, I started to look for the monsters.
2 hours later,
After continuous fighting the remaining monster's numbers have reduced from 5 to 2. It won't be long before I complete this floor.
Soon, I trapped the last 2 remaining monsters in the Gravity Field. When they exhausted their strength, the monster's body fell into pieces like building blocks.
But from the beginning to end. I hadn't found any source material. Which again surprised me.
[Floor Cleared: 97]
[The next challenge will start in 15 minutes]
The announcement sounded. Then I appeared back in the black space.
...
Outside,
The leader board rankings changed again. Which sent shock waves across the academy. Vincent Carey's name jumped on rank higher.
And it's blinking on the 98th floor. There are only 3 floors left before the Trial comes to an end.
Dean Tower:
"Did you find what had happened?" The old man asked. But his gaze never left the screen.
Seeing the jump in Vincent's rankings. The person standing behind him showed joy.
They are none other than Elder Galvin and Gilbert Reese. They returned to the academy right after hearing from the dean.
Galvin opened his mouth to comment," It still looks mysterious. Because no powerhouse has left the isolated barrier."
Hearing that the dean old man frowned. As per witness, no one saw Vincent at the scene. But he returned unscathed. Which shows someone either protected Vincent or Vincent didn't visit the auction house in the first place.
"Did you inquire about the protector?" He asked again.
"The protection came late. He didn't know about the attackers. But...," Galvin showed hesitation.
"But what?" The old man asked.
"There is a medium sized aircraft parked outside of the auction house. It was used by Vincent," Galvin added.
Old man's eyes flickered. He was now sure that someone else protected Vincent. But that person was not from the academy.
To get the full information, they can only ask Vincent Carey.
...
The Bloodline Hall:
No one is opening their mouth in the meeting. Their last plan has failed. They can now only wait for punishment.
The elderly man's eyes dimmed. He became even more old. Everyone looked dispirited. Most of them are in a state of shock.
They still can't believe it. How did Vincent come back alive?
Even the black dressed women are starting to feel afraid. This is not the conflict anymore that Council House can participate in.
Now she has confirmed that the powerhouse has protected the kid. Otherwise, it's impossible to explain the statement of the various criminals.
Everyone has seen that kid entering the auction house. But there was no sign of him after that.
Though many of them said that they arrived at the spot late. But there are nearby shop witnesses. People have seen someone entering the auction house.
At this moment, the black dressed women can't wait to hide somewhere for the time being.
The other bloodline elders looked panic stricken as well. They have failed to accomplish the task. And the target is going to finish the trial in a few hours.
"I'm leaving," one of the elders stood up from the seat to leave. It's over. They can only prepare for worse. Seeing that others decide to leave as well.
