Chapter 43....Death's Gate

I used my sight to scout for enemies, and as expected.

The area was filled with dozens of lizard man, Bugbears, Madbeetle, Battle boars and Darkfungus.

Upon careful observation, I found that the lizard men were rather strong, almost as strong as A level 4. The Dark fungus was not a problem for me as it will only end up making my resistance stronger.

The giant boars were not as strong if you knew how to defeat them, so were the mad beetles, and bug bears.

Big bears are easily stronger then level 3 monsters and have very high agility stat, which is a real distracting thing coupled with their appearance.

'But I have the last stand and weaken,I can't help it, they are such cheat abilities, but the greatest of them is my Aura manipulation.'

With that thought I entered the enforcement and used a single slash to take care if several monsters with a surprise attack.

I had to make sure not to destroy the plants, as they were most likely precious medical ingredients.

So began my fight with the beasts of the 19th floor.

After some careful fighting, I was done with them, picking up the monster drops and magical cores, I began carefully picking up the herbs and plants, Putting them in my inventory.

"I should go to the lower floors, monsters aren't giving much of a push and now that I have {last stand}, numbers just end up making my skill stronger.

[Ding! training successful, +1 strength, + 2 agility, +3 Endurance, {Last Stand} level up, {Weaken} level up]

[Ding! prodigy in effect, +1 to all stats, +1 skill points, {Last stand} level up]

"The gains aren't much." I thought before pushing aside the notifications.

It took me some time before I reached floor 20. Floor 20 wasn't much different aside from the increased herbs and poisonous plants at every corner along with beasts that specialise in long ranged attacks, though they were glass canons and I dealt with them easily.

After collecting as many herbs, I went ahead and entered the 23 floor which was also a disappointment as the monsters were just slightly stronger than the previous ones.

Though their spawn rate was like never before as they would spawn in front of me every few intervals in dozens quantity.

I went down to the twenty-fourth floor, I have heard it's one of the floors that have the deadliest of the monsters.

so much that people consider some of the monsters on it as strong or dangerous as dungeon bosses or better known as monster Rex.

Not even ten minutes in and I was assaulted by Lizardmen that had scales covering their bodies, their threat level was far exceeding of the monsters in the previous floors.

These lizardmen were truly living in a cooperative relation, I noticed as they surrounded me in a formation that left little to no room for me to escape.

I could use haze or concealment or even for hide to get out...but then what is the point,I have to train, and I will do anything to get the results.

A sharp cry issued and I got bombarded with attacks from two sides which I dodged easily by swerving around, though at this moment I felt another attack coming at me, a crude metallic spear was launched at me.

The lizardmen were fighting from close range as well as long rage.

I jumped in the air and three the spear back at the unsuspecting lizard as it made a deep hole on his shoulders, the lizard had moved at the critical moment and saved his vitals.

Though that didn't mean I had failed, the Lizard now had an unusable arm dangling from his body as he glared at me fiercely in anger and hate.

Falling down, I stopped using the levitation technique and used Earthshattering kick, the ground trembled before it broke apart.

Causing the lizards to lose balance, dropping their shields as I moved in and dealt with two more.

'Two more to go.'

I looked at the two fleeing monsters, they were the archers.

'I didn't know monster could flee.'

Needless to say, I ran at them just as I was about to behead them, a weird pine cone like monster that had red shine on it.

It released pincers from it's body and a yellow gas.

I immediately felt the effects of the said gas, my skill started fighting it as I used the Diamond body path, to decrease the effect as much as I could.

I jumped far away from the said monster as several more sprouted from the walls around me.

my body felt a little numb.

'Am I being paralysed....even with poison resistance, is paralyzatjok being categorized as a different thing or my skill is weak.'

As if to put salt over my wounds, the Pinecone like thing gave birth to many giant bee like monsters

These monsters were high in number, and their strength was equal to a level three each.

'Dang it.' I cursed and decided it was time to run away, find a place to hide and recuperate.

I had let the weakness of the monsters get to my head, if I was any weaker, I might have died.

After running away from the monsters, I used aura manipulation and activated Haze, this will allow me to not get into the radar of monsters and humans alike.

I brought out a vial from my inventory and gobbled it down.
