Chapter 594 Ernest's return

From MC's perspective:

After speaking with me for a few more minutes. Jonathan left the room. I don't know where I'm going to stay. But I have a good guess in my mind.

I think he will use Carlos Kent's home as a temporary stay. Then I looked inside. Seeing the purple essence in my dantian.

A faint smile appeared on my face. Then I thought about the internal competition. Everyone is working hard for the year-end conference.

But from Jonathan's words, I have realized that the event is less likely going to happen. There are enemies outside. But my strength is not enough to face them.

I hope everything will be resolved soon.

The next day,

After getting ready, I left the dormitory. Then I started heading towards the infirmary. From Jonathan's words, I can tell that. He was not that much affected.

Soon I reached the infirmary. When I walked into the place. I came across the old man wearing a white coat again.

Upon seeing me, the old man stopped his movement.

"Oh, you are here again."

"Looks like you and your friend. Both of you love our infirmary that much," the old man said with a smile.

Hearing that I don't know whether to laugh or cry. As far as I know, the old man is not an ordinary person.

Whenever I see him, I get this uneasy feeling in my heart.

"Alright, don't be afraid. You can go to see your friend," The old man saw through his thoughts.

After saying that he walked into another patient's room.

"Phew!"

"What a weird old man?" I muttered in my heart.

Then I started heading towards room no. 23.

After arriving at the room, I opened the door to enter inside.

"Ernest?" I saw him awake and talking to the healing assistant.

"Zack!"

"When did you come back?" Ernest asked back. The female assistant quickly left the room giving them space.

Ernest saw that the female assistant was gone. Then he looked at Zack with a serious expression.

"Zack, you are right. Seamus had malicious intent against me. But somehow I had managed to see his intention before admitting defeat," Ernest said.

When he said those words. His expression looked ugly. He had wanted to climb up in the ranks.

But because of Seamus, he had to give up.

On the other hand, I silently listened to his words. But I'm glad that he was clever enough to see through the opponent's tricks.

"Zack, are you going to fight against Kane?" Ernest asked.

I raised my head to look at him.

Ernest was taken aback. But soon he realized that Zack had no rivals in the same category.

Then he said, "I know you can defeat the elite warrior easily. But Kane is not easy. Like Seamus, his cultivation method is different."

"I doubt whether they use a small amount of elemental essence in their attack. Because I found Seamus didn't care about running out of element essence during our fight," Ernest added.

Hearing that my eyes flickered. Now, I can understand his worry. But he doesn't know that I'm not relying on the lightning essence. Ultimately, my body strength is enough to crush him.

It's just I don't want to expose that trump card.

"Alright, I know my limit," I replied to Ernest. Then we talked about a few other things before I left the room.

Ernest says he will be discharged in the evening. And his injuries weren't that serious. As long as takes enough rest he will be fine.

Then I walked out of the infirmary room. I don't know if my duel against Kane would be scheduled. But I mean time, I can't waste time.

I looked in the direction of the teleportation tower. If I use body strength to fight against the monster. I can push my limit further.

It might reduce the time of sensing the barrier. After gaining some clarity in my thoughts, I started rushing towards the teleportation tower.

Soon, I reached the place. After arriving at the circular platform. I didn't immediately select the server. Rather, I texted Jonathan about my plan.

Then I began to carefully select the server. This time I'm not going to take a risk in the dangerousClass-6 Monster Zone.

I selected the monster zone relatively with medium difficulty. As long as I don't approach the core area. I can save my life.

When I selected the server. The circular platform lit up with light.

Swish~

The next second, I disappeared from the spot.

When I opened my eyes. I saw a vast land in front of me. There was no dense vegetation. I can be safe that no monster would sneak attack on me.

I'm not going to use the black sword. This time, I'll be engaging in close combat.

Not long after, the ground beneath me started to shake. Seeing that I retreated backward to find a solid spot.

On the other hand, several cracks appeared on the ground and it started to stretch more than 100 meters.

Boom~

The next moment, a something blast opened the land to appear on the surface.

When I saw that monster. I revealed a bitter smile on my fever. Whenever something cracks under the ground. I can only think of this monster.

[Class -5 Early Stage Steel Worm Monster]

A brown-colored monster with sticky liquid all over its body appeared on the surface. The name comes from the razor-sharpened row of teeth.

This worm monster is another kid. Which is different from the Brown and Red Worm Monsters.

The Sticky liquid is not a good sign. It's not good to engage in close combat against these weird types of monsters.

But I'm going to try anyway. Since I have made up my mind not to use the lightning element. It's better to follow the body's strength.

Swoosh~

The next second, I rushed out to punch against the monster. At the same time, I activated my perceptual ability.

The worm monster lowered his head to swallow the prey as a whole. The razor-sharp tooth makes a metallic sound.

But my speed was enough to reach the monster's body. While moving, I mobilized the red blood energy from my bones.

In the blink of an eye, I got closer to the monster.

Boom~

At the same time, the monster plunges its huge head into the ground.

Dust rose from the ground. By using the opportunity, I raised my fist to punch the monster.

"Blood Fist"

In the blink of an eye, red blood energy gathered around my fist. When the punch hits the body of the monster. It easily tore through the monster's defense.

"Pfff"

The red blood energy burns out the sticky liquid. And the red color fist leaves a giant hole in the body.

The next second, yellow-colored liquid starts to gush out from the monster's body.

Screech~

The worm monster made a weird sound in pain. But I didn't care and continued to rain down the blood fist on the monster.

A few minutes later,

The worm monster turned into pulp. Except for the monster core. Those sticky liquids didn't cause me any trouble.

After collecting the monster core, I started to look for other monsters. The It's hard to see the end. After spending a few more hours, I didn't come across any other monsters.

early-stage monsters pose no threat to me.

I have to find the peak-stage monsters. On the way, I came across a few Class-4 Monsters. But I let them go.

At this stage, the core of the Class-4 Monster is not that useful to me. The vast land is huge.

It's hard to see the end. After spending a few more hours, I didn't come across any other monsters.

But I wasn't that surprised. Looks like I have to go deeper. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. Then I started to move towards the deep.

After a few minutes, I came across lush green vegetation. Such a place is a sign of a monster's residence. When I walked into the place.

Rustle~

I heard the rustling sound. Then I spotted something moving in the huge tree.

"A plant-type monster" I uttered in surprise. But after looking at the strength, I realized the monster was a Class-3 one.

Then I started to walk through the place. I don't know what type of monster is hiding here. Soon, I reached deep into this place.

Through my perception, I spotted ape-type monsters. But I'm sure it's a different kind. The strength of these monsters wasn't that great.

A hint of disappointment flashes in my eyes.

I don't know whether I picked the wrong monster zone or not. There seem to be less number of Class- 5 Monsters here.

Time flies,

A few hours later, I returned to the academy. Today wasn't that great. After killing the worm monster, I encountered deadly tree-type monsters.

But fortunately, those tree-type monsters can't move. After killing those monsters, I collected the monster core from it.

And it took me the whole day to do it.

After gaining some clarity, I returned to the dormitory room. On the way, I checked the incoming messages.

Ernest has successfully been discharged from the infirmary. Seeing that I sighed in relief.
