Chapter 38 - The Second Stage (3)

Finally, after killing those wolf Monsters, Sam decided to go after the rabbit Monsters.

Surprisingly, this time the spider Monsters decided to counterattack alongside the rabbit Monsters.

In that situation, the shadow movement technique proved useful. Those spider monsters are poisonous. They have the ability to shoot poisonous webs.

He can already feel the danger because of the observation technique, and he quickly flees the area using the shadow movement technique.

In that location, a battle is taking place between those two groups of monsters and Sam.

Sam uses both the shadow slash and fast slash techniques. This increases the strength of his attack.

His attacks get more deadly. With a single swing, he can easily kill 5 to 6 monsters.

On the other hand, the Monsters are attempting to harm or poison him. Unfortunately, Sam easily evaded their attack.

After five minutes,

Sam finally defeated the last monster. Only then did he get the opportunity to relax; this time, he did not use any potions. He begins to use the energy recovery technique while observing the tree in the cave's center.

The tree has approximately ten bell fruits. He began picking each of the fruits one by one and adding them to his inventory.

During this time, you can see a small drone flying behind Sam.That is the broadcasting drone that allows the members of the examination committee to keep an eye on Sam.

Sam had no idea that his battle had created such a stir. It did not cause a commotion throughout the safe zone. It only creates commotion within Base City.

The principal of Base City School was astounded by his performance. But other people did not think Sam was special because he defeated those Initial Mortal Grade monsters.

On the other hand, Sam's position has already risen. He is already in the top hundred.

 *************

Two days later,

Sam eventually moved deeper into the danger zone. He has already encountered monsters at levels 18 to 19. He has also met a large number of other participants.

Luckily, none of them attempted to attack him or anything similar. They simply concentrate on their own business. That was extremely beneficial for Sam. You have to admit that he expected people to attack him since he was alone.

It is fortunate that he was not attacked by anyone. On the other hand, he searches for additional resources near the danger zone and even finds some.

Unfortunately, those resources are not worth as much as the bell fruit. As a result, the points he earned for collecting those resources had no effect on his ranking.

The good news is that he remains in the top 100 rankings. Furthermore, he has already risen to the 98th rank.

This is a huge deal for Base City School. Few people from the Base City School make the top 100. Only the Elite students and Sam were able to make it into the top hundred.

People from Base City were also watching the match, and many of them were very excited when they saw Sam's performance.

Sam obviously knew nothing about it. Even if he did find out, he would not be concerned. He is currently looking for a group of monkey Monsters who have escaped from him.

He searches for the monsters using his movement technique. Fortunately, he did not have to spend much time searching for the Monsters' clue.

Certainly, those Monsters attempt to enter their territory. Sam is not afraid of it, even though there will be more Monsters present.

After a while, 

Sam eventually notices the presence of 27 Monsters in the territory, along with the injured monkey monster. Only one of the monkeys is at level 21 or 22. Certainly, Monster would be the boss.

In the next second, before any of those Monsters could react, Sam came behind that Boss Monster and attacked him with the Fast Slash technique.

The Boss monster feels threatened as well. He immediately tried to protect himself and the Monsters around him. Unfortunately, Monster was unable to create the barrier in time.

In the next second,

The boss Monster was eliminated. It did not take him long to kill the remaining Monsters. He only decided to rest after he had killed all of the monsters.

 It was getting dark, and as a normal Warrior, he did not want to fight at night. During the night, the monster within the danger zone grew wild and powerful.

The moonlight has this effect on the monsters, and fighting them during that time is extremely dangerous.

There is a chance those level 19 Monsters will definitely become level 20 in the presence of the moon.

Although he is willing to take the risk of hunting those Monsters, keep in mind that there are other participants.

What happens if someone attempts to attack him? There is a chance that powerful opponents are present near that location.

'I am curious what David is currently doing. If everything goes as planned, he will undoubtedly reach the top 100.

It will not be long before he enters the top 50 rankings, causing a great deal of excitement. People will begin to notice him after that point.

I am curious about my rank. Am I able to break into the top hundred? If I were already in the top 100 rankings, that would be fantastic.'

Despite the fact that people outside the danger zone can already see the students' rankings, none of the students can see them right now.

However, it would not be long before all students were able to see their rankings.

 ***********

Two days later,

It has been six days since he entered the danger zone. There are nine days until the second stage ends. So, while he still has time, Sam is also increasing his peace.

He had already entered the area where he was fighting Monsters on level 28. As you can see, he is already getting close to the location where he will meet the Intermediate Mortal monsters.

On the other hand, he comes across some familiar faces. Not all of them are significant characters. You can think of them as background characters, just like him.

Aside from that, he searches for his classmates. Unfortunately, in that area, he did not have the opportunity to meet many of his schoolmates.

Sam was curious about Simon and his group's current situation. Simon and his group may have already entered the top 100 rankings.
