Chapter 229 - Failed To Clear The 19th Floor

(From Mc's Perspective)

Time progressed, After clearing the 17th floor. It took me an hour to clear the 18th floor. Then I appeared on the 19th floor.

19th Floor,

After appearing on this floor, I felt a solemn atmosphere. It took me a great deal of effort to reach here. Perhaps, My winning streak may come to an end. Fortunately, there were no elemental monsters in the previous two floors. So, I took my time to kill them.

"Common, Where are you?" I spoke in a low tone. It's been ten seconds, yet there is no sign of the monster's appearance. I feel a little off. Just as I pondered it I heard a loud roar. 

"Crocodile" I yelled in disbelief.

"No, no, something is wrong. Why is this monster's appearance so different? " 

My vision became clear as I spotted a terrifying monster near me. The battle field changes into sea. I'm standing in the middle of nowhere. "It must be an island" I mumbled under my breath.

I rack up my brain to recall the monster's appearance. But I found nothing. This monster looks like Combination of crocodile and Salamander. 100ft in size, it has Crazy shaped jaws. Those terrifying blood eyes make me realise this is not a common class monster. May it's above elemental monster. Otherwise, My senses won't have this kind of reaction.

Today , My horizons have widened. I never thought there would be something crazier than an elemental monster. That Unknown monster's eyes seem playful. Seeing that I felt shuddered, "What a terrifying intelligence?" I sucked cold breath. 

Seeing that monster taking steps towards me, I heightened my senses. I gripped my sword to block any possible attack. 

On the other hand, the unknown monster as it's foot lands on the ground. It created a huge vibration around the area. While it's looking at Zack as it's prey. At the same time, there was another monster roar echoed around the area. Second Unknown monster rises it's head above the sea. 

"This.." I really don't have any words to say. Just as my worst worry becomes reality. I haven't tested  it's defence. But at this time another monster makes its appearance. 

"Two Peak Class 1 Monster" I mumbled under my breath. I feel helpless. First, this landscape has disadvantages. I can't hide away to replenish my essence. On this tiny island these monsters will find me in no time. What can I do? 

Just as I'm hesitating, the second unknown monster opens its wide mouth.  It begins to swallow gallons of water. Seeing that my pupil shrink. This view I couldn't forget in my life. After swallowing the large gallons of water. The second unknown monster launched an attack on Zack. It opened its mouth like a huge water cannon to attack me.

In a bink of an eye, it fired numerous water bombs. I know this unknown monster locked me. I gazed at the first unknown monster, it seemed to not interfere. Seeing that I flew backwards at full speed. In my perception I saw those water bombs dropping at the empty space. I'm not surprised by its terrifying speed. Compared to a monster body,  it's natural for it to have this ability.

"Boom" A defeating sound resonates in the area. 

As the first water bomb lands on the ground.  In the next second followed by a few other attacks landed near me. If not for me having my perceptual ability I'm a goner. I don't know what effect my pitiful lightning strike will have against these waters. From one mouthful of swallowing, it fired several water bombs. But I can't say the same for myself. And with my Special Trainee essence, I can strike only four full scale  lightning attacks. 

I sighed in regret, This one level feels extremely difficult. Shaking my head, I prepare to attack it. It's just these two monsters, I can try my hand. If you drag it any longer. It's possible that two other unknown monsters will show up. While I'm pondering it, the first unknown monster also began to swallow gallons of water. 

I didn't hesitate any further, before both of them began to cooperate. I need to attack it. After pouring a large amount of lightning essence and charging my sword.  I targeted it's huge mouth.

"Sword Divide"

A long purple lightning strike bursts out from the sword and goes straight against the first unknown monster. 

On the other hand, the first unknown monster sneered. It felt pitiful. As it fires several shots against the lightning. 

As the multiple water bombs collides agausbt the purple lightning.

"Boom" A thunderous sound resonates in the area. 

The lightning strike withers down as it's power drains away by numerous water balls. And at this time a second unknown monster also filled up its stomach with water.

On the other hand, I felt gobsmacked. My lightning strike feels like purple stick against those huge water bombs. It breaks down in a few strikes. "Damn, this landscape it's highly advantageous to it. It can consume gallons of water whenever it feels like it." I mumbled under my breath. 

Then I flew backwards, as spotted both of the unknown monster begin to rain down on me with their water bombs. I gritted my teeth and tried to move away from their attack range. 

"Boom" "Boom" 

Several hundreds water bombs rains down on this tiny island. Hereby by changing the island landscape forever.

"Roar" "Roar"

At this time two more unknown monsters make their appearance. 

On the other hand, I thought I escaped. But I spotted two or more water bombs reach near to me. I gripped my sword and held it in a horizontal position to defend against it. 

"Bang" 

The huge water bomb collides against Zack. As the Size of water bomb is same size of Zack. It made a huge impact. 

I wasn't able to parry the attack. As its speed and force is completely overwhelming me. Due to the heavy impact, It threw me backwards and I crashed against the huge boulder.

"Crash" 

I blurted a few bloods due to internal injury. It's hard to imagine, phantoms can injure. I even don't know whether this injury is real or not. But it certainly feels real. Just I try to move my body. Due to agonising pain, I let out a muffled groan. 

"Aaahhhh"

Then I begin to focus on my healing element.  Hope it works, but my situation is not at all helpful. As I found a land shaking sound, I knew these two monsters coming toward me. Even though I moved away from my original spot. I can see those monsters with my perception.

"Damn, Looks like this is my limit." I cursed under my breath. 

My pain won't let me move my body away. But I won't have any choice. Otherwise, I will be crushed by these two monsters. Controlling the agonising pain, I stood up from the ground. It's size is huge, like other monsters if I find any weakness. I can use it for myself. 

But I don't have any methods to fight against water bombs. I already saw two heads peeking on me in the sea. Two other monsters also appear at this time. Four Peak Class 1 against me. It's a terrible situation. I haven't imagined this kind of scenario to occur even in a monster zone. 

I sighed, it's a waste of time to do anything. It's better to face them. 

Then I can go back home and seriously reflect on myself. I walked forwards with one hand on my black sword. Those two monsters slowly took steps towards me. Even after I released invisible aura and Special Trainee aura. There is no change in them. Looks like from the beginning itself I had lost the chance. After going home, I will search about this monster's description. As I etched every bit of its body details in my mind. Those monsters reach near to me. 

Facing two 100ft giants, I held my black sword tight and I ran dashing towards the first monster.

On the other hand, a hint of surprise flashes before those monster's eyes. Instead of getting angry, they still seemed more playful. Their cunning eyes want to see what this human is going to do. Their level of intelligence is higher than the average human population.

As I got close to it's massive body, I immediately launched a full scale attack of mine.

"Lightning Wheel"

I didn't keep any lightning reserve in my dantian. As I pour every bit of lightning essence to this wheel attack.

On the other hand, the first unknown monster squints it's large eyes seeing the thunderous purple wheel. It feels uncomfortable and huge irritation. It immediately raises its giant paw to squash it. 

I saw the monster's huge paw is going to collide against the lightning wheel. In next breath, 

When the huge paw collides against the lightning. There are not even bursts of power. As it's huge body strength breaks down the lightning wheel. Then it's huge paw landed on Zack. 

"Puff"

It  crushes Zack instantly and Zack's body vanishes from the spot. Seeing that the unknown monster felt surprised. It's confused about the human's sudden disappearance.

On the other hand, my consciousness woke up. When I realised my last fighting moment, I sucked cold bread. "Looks like I failed, it's huge paw completely crushed me." I mumbled under my breath. 

Then I observed my healthy body.. I knew my challenge came to an end.
