Gravity Mage with Level-Up System



From MC's perspective:

Floor 81:

The environment changes again. I found myself standing in semi-arid land. The terrain was not different from other normal landscapes. 

But I feel strong elemental mana from the ground. This place is likely blessed land for elemental wizards. 

Especially the wizards who awakened earth-related magic can practice fast here.

Just as I'm appreciating the surroundings. I'm also keeping an eye on everything. Who knows when the monster pops up?

There are a few green patches on the ground. The land stretches forever. There is no end in sight. 

But one good thing though is the open field. You can't hide away from the monster. As well as the monster can't hide away from you.

Rumble~

A few seconds later, expected changes occur. The monster wasn't able to sit still. My gaze didn't leave the ground.

I strongly feel something hidden beneath the ground. Shortly after several cracks appeared on the surface of the ground. 

Like something wanted to get out. Then I saw a huge body coming out from the crack. When the full body appeared on the surface.

"Another elemental monster," My eyes flickered. The monster with earth elemental power is known for its defense. Looks like I have to exhaust the recovery potions again.

"System, probe the monster," I said to the system.

[Ding! The Host's voice is recognized]

[Status Panel]

[Name: Brown Star Salamander] 

[Level: 6th-Order- Peak]

[Strength: 586]

[Vitality: 585]

[Speed: 584]

[Stamina: 586]

[Skill: Sand attack, Mud attack, Hard defense, Heavy Blow.]

A row of information appeared before my eyes. My eyes began to go through the details. The monster has strong skills. 

Especially my gaze on the Heavy Blow skill. Why does the skill give me a familiar feeling like the double strength skill?

Then I canceled the panel before observing the monster.

On the other hand, the salamander monster is cautiously looking at the enemy. It didn't make any big moves. 

After appearing on the ground, it silently watches the enemy.

As seconds passed by, the monster remained in the same spot like a statue.

A hint of gloominess flashes in my eyes. Of all the monsters that I had faced so far. This monster was over-cautious. It's not making any moves at all.

But my patience is running out. I think it's best to take the initiative to strike first. 

Looking at the 30-foot-long monster. I raised my hand to cast the spell again.

"Gravity Field," I uttered.

A powerful gravitational force appears within the field. In the next second, the force is applied to the monster.

But the next second, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. The monster didn't even move an inch. It looks unaffected by the strong gravitational force.

As the seconds passed by the power of the gravitational force increased on the other hand.

Rumble~

The ground beneath the monster started to crack. As the power of gravity causes the ground to break. 

The monster's eyes flickered. It's finally starting to get uncomfortable like tingling pain.

Suddenly, it moved its body. The movement was small but the monster broke free from the spell the next second.

Boom~

A deafening sound reverberated throughout the area.

The spell was broken into pieces like nothing.

On the other hand, my expression turned solemn. I wasn't surprised by the monster's actions. Initially, the 6th-order peak stage monster can easily break free from my spell.

But the monster did it casually. Which shows the difference between the strengths. The monsters in the trial are different from those found outside.

Just as I thought the monster was going to remain silent again. It dashes towards me all of a sudden. 

Swoosh~

The speed was so fast that it was creating mirror images in the air.

A strong sense of crisis hit me again. Right after, a system warning rang in my mind.

"Repulsive Force," I cast the repulsive force magic in response. 

A strong repelling force is released from the body. The force starts to sweep away the surroundings. 

But when it comes to contact with the monster. The force didn't even cause a wave. The repelling magic dispelled just like that.

Seeing that I decided to hide in the Gregor mansion. But the monster got closer to me.

Boom~

The next second, I felt hit by a boulder. The pain spread all over my body. The next thing, I knew I was flying backward like a broken kite.

Crash~

I crashed into the solid ground. The forceful impact sent me another wave of pain. But suppressing all of that, I disappeared from the spot.

Then I appeared in the Gregor Mansion.

This all happened within seconds.

Pfff~

In the Gregor mansion, I coughed up blood. A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. It's even rare for me to be injured to this extent. 

I remembered beating down the 6th-level wizard in the Tolu Country. That was easy, but here, it's difficult to fight across the ranks.

I sat down cross-legged and started to analyze everything. How to attack the monster? From this blow alone, it can be said that confrontation against the monster is a risky factor.

The magic cloak of mine was not useful anymore. It had already completed its job. The only thing I can think of was the weapon artifact. 

The Grade 6 Monster can cause damage to the monster. But for that, I have to engage in close combat. A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes.

Looks like even on this floor, it's impossible to remain unscathed. Then I stood up from the ground and entered the control room to assess the situation happening outside.

Then I saw the monster was not going anywhere. It is rooted in the same spot as a rock. 

After pondering for a moment, I decided to test out the monster's defense. I took the sword artifact from the storage bracelet.

Swoosh~

The next second, I appeared back on the ground. My sudden appearance startled the monster. Using this opportunity, I started charging against the monster.

The brown salamander did not panic. Instead, it appears to be bloodthirsty. It had already gauged the strength of the enemy. It's not feeling any fear anymore.
