Chapter 411 - Gravity (2) (1/2)
Auron arrived on the sixth floor. Then, the weight from his equipment doubled. However, since it was just a cloth armor, the pressure was still maintainable.
Before looking for any monsters, Auron tested his spell work first. He chanted a simple [Fire Bolt] and aimed at a rock on the ground in front of him.
Unfortunately, the [Fire Bolt] missed the target. Although the effect on a spell was not a much as an arrow, it still had some impact on it. It landed quicker than it supposed to be.
Auron walked forwards and looked for the monster. Since it was a night at the outside, the number of soldiers inside the floor was reduced.
Not long after, he found two monsters. Auron chanted an [Earth Spike].
From the ground below the monsters, a spike made of the earth grew and spiked up towards the monster. Aiming this earth spike was easier compared to flying projectile like [Fire Bolt]. However, the gravity still had some effect on the [Earth Spike].
It's forming, and piercing speed was noticeably slower than usual. Fortunately, Auron's target was a weak monster. So, even though the speed was slower, but the monster could not dodge the [Earth Spike].
One of the monsters got pierce by the spike. Meanwhile, the other monster ignored its dead friend and jumped at Auron with its mouth opened wide.
Auron took a side step, and with the back of his dagger, he hit the monster's head hard. The monster crashed to the ground. Then, Auron swirling his dagger and stabbed at the monster's back.
Once Auron had collected the heads, he moved to look for other monsters. There was nothing on this floor. No trees, no big boulder, only flat land.
Auron looked towards his west direction. There was nothing. Then, he looked at his east direction. At far away, he saw a small shadow.
Auron knew that it was a monster. Without wasting any more time, Auron quickly departed to the east.
It turned out the monster was not alone. There were two other monsters with it. These three monsters quickly noticed Auron's presence and took the first action.
The three monsters charged at Auron madly. Auron was calm. Previously, he would only fight against two monsters at most. However, right now, as he already had the confidence in his spell and his fighting skill, Auron took a step forward.
He tried to challenge these three monsters. As the monster took the first action, Auron was taking defensive action. He summoned his [Earth Wall] and blocked the monster's charge. Then, he went to the right.
Auron thought that the monster should have split into two groups. Unfortunately, Auron was wrong. The monsters didn't split and took the left path.
Auron, who was taking the right path, didn't find any enemies. Then, when he turned back, Auron could see these three monsters.
With its small body, the monster's movement speed was fast. They were already closed to Auron.
