Pov-3rd
Over the past two weeks, Zier continued to travel through the tower. Started on the second floor where he encountered a C-rank wind tiger a magic beast, they were far more deadly than a Goblin shaman but Zier still had no trouble killing it maybe it was a bit easier than the Shaman for him because it could enhance its speed with wind mana but couldn't attack with it and only was slightly stronger than a normal tiger so as long as one was faster than it you could kill it without a problem.
On the the next floor, there was a difficult opponent for him not because of their power but because of their numbers and size. For Zier out of all the opponents on the nine floors, he would say that this was the most difficult opponent. thousands of exploding fire ants a C+rank insect monster just like the black bees that were in hoards allowed even a chile could kill them as they don't have much force of explosion but it adds up when they are in groups. A mage could kill them easily but for a swordsman like Zier, it would have used up a lot of aura so Instead of going on a killing spree that could end with him out of aura. The ants slowly eroded the sheld of the midnight sword till they went to him he took his time killing a couple hundred of them then and evading them till he replenished his aura. It took four days for the next door to appear even if he killed the majority on the first day the other started to avoid and distance them selfless from him and each other so he had to look for them constantly.
After an hour of rest, he ventured on to the next floor where there was no matter waiting but instead, a cube which he recognized in an instant, the only thing Zire loved just as much as the way of the sword was learning as even before meeting His Master he had read every book in the library of his town along with reading countess hidden books after meeting his master he had of course seen a few books on puzzles where this one was mentioned.
As Zire walked toward the puzzle the door to the next room opened, this floor was an optional floor that appeared at random and gave you a chance to earn a reward.
When Zire arrived at the cube he poured ten pontes on the top of it and ''CLICK!'' a click was heard and the cube opened. Inside there was a note with a black feather after picking up the note Zire read it.
- the feather of the three-legged crow that contains a spark of its aura can be used to strengthen one's aura if it is fire, flame, sun, or star Attribute.-
After reading the letter he put the feather into the storage space on his bracelet as it was useless until the 7th star, that's when one would get the attribute revealed so he stored it just in case his attribute aligned with it, and if not he could just sell it for a high price.
The 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th floors all had monsters of C+-rank or a herd of D-rank monsters with a C-rank leading them this change on the 9th floor where there were five C-rank clay bears.
Clay bears are one of the weakest types of magic bear species but even if they are the weakest type it doesn't mean that they are not a threat as they are still a C-rank monster so for any Hunter in the B-rank it would be tough to beat them but Zire was all ready A-rank so he had no trouble killing them but that wasn't without problems as when a clay bear dies it explodes into clay so Zire had to spend some time cleaning.
At the end of the two weeks, Zire stood in front of the door he knew that the first 9 floors were just a test but from this point forward it would be a lot more difficult. his step didn't filter and he stepped into the door. the 10th floor was a pass point which was much more difficult than the last.
The floor looked just like the rest white walls with a blue glow going arrowed its borders but the only difference was the beast in the middle.
dark blue fire-like mane sporting from its head with a human-like body that matched its color, metallic claws like an eagle swung at its side gleaming in the light of the room with its scorpion-like tale that had venom leaking out of its tip making a sizzling sound when it hit the floor. It was a chimera and from the aura, It was a B-rank one at that so it must have not long been born or its strength was being suppressed as a chimera normally or at least at the SS-rank and hid in the clans till they reached that rank. But just seeing just seeing it shocked Zier.
