Chapter 403 - Wind Cliff (3) (2/2)
If the number of monsters divided into each cliff equally, then two monsters would appear on each cliff. Sadly, that was not the case. It was really random. One cliff could have 10 monsters appear at a time when there were no monsters that appeared at other cliffs.
It would be more efficient if they moved to two or three cliffs each time they could. This way, they could increase their completion speed rate rather than waiting on the same cliff.
Of course, moving to another cliff gave some other risk. It was up to the training participant whether they would take this option or just waiting at the same cliff until the end. This floor tested the soldiers' decision making and also their sensitiveness to the surrounding changes.
After arriving at the new cliff, Auron was lucky. He found five monsters, and there were no other soldiers here. Moreover, the wind was still on its progress to its lowest state.
This situation was very great for him. Without delaying any further, Auron took out his sword and immediately charged towards the monsters.
The monsters sensed Auron's presence, and they also took their battle stance. The five of them charged at Auron.
Auron brandished his sword. Since there was no one around, Auron used this chance to chant his mage spell.
A piece of pointy ice was formed when he used [Ice Bolt]. Then, he immediately shot that ice shard to the foremost monster. Unfortunately, Auron never played a range of characters before. He never thought that wind would have an effect on the things he shot.
Although the wind had less effect on spells, with the current wind's power, it still slightly change the ice's trajectory. At first, Auron had aimed in the middle of the monster's chest. However, the wind moved it a bit from its original target.
Fortunately, the ice still pierced the monster's left shoulder. Besides, the monster was weak, so even though it was far from its vital's part, the monster still died.
After shooting his spell and blocking the monster's attack with his sword, Auron made some distance. He didn't want to be surrounded by the monsters from all sides.
By keeping all of the monsters in front of him, he could see what's the monster's gonna did. Two monsters leaped at Auron from the left and right side, followed by another two at the back.
When he was moving away, Auron had started to chant [Lightning Chain], an advanced spell from the wind element. A bolt of light streak from one monster and jumped to another monster until it hit them all. With this one spell, Auron finished all of them in an instant.
