Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

[4th floor]

[Challenge starts in 5 seconds!]

The announcement came. Right after, I stood up and waited for the environment to change.

5 seconds later,

The surroundings totally changed. And I found myself in the middle of empty grassland. There were no trees here. Only plain land with little grasses grown over it.

The sky is bright. 

I can see the surroundings clearly. It's completely opposite to the gloomy cave.

Rumble~

The next moment, I heard a rumbling sound. I found the ground beneath me was vibrating slowly.

Tremor~

Feeling the tremor, my eyes flickered. Obviously something is coming in my direction. It might be the herd of monsters. 

I glanced around but found no place to hide. In this open vast field, you will be spotted easily. After seeing that it is futile to run. 

I remained in the same spot and decided to face the enemy head on.

A few second later,

A wave of monsters rushing forward at fast speed. When I saw the appearance of the monster. I immediately recognised it.

[Black Horn Bull - 5th order Monster]

[Ability- Ground Shake]

This monster is a famous herd monster. But still its strength and ability is no joke. An average level-5 wizard can't face these groups of monsters head on.

The bull monsters can make the enemy's bodies riddled with holes. Together with their ability make them formidable.

I'm not an average level-5 wizard. I can save myself. But I don't know the conditions for clearing this round.

Do I have to eliminate all monsters? A doubt appeared in my heart. 

By the time I realized the herd of monsters entered my field range. The monsters don't seem to avoid me. 

Some of them are heading directly towards me.

"Gravity Field," I cast the spell.

A tremendous gravitational force descended on the ground. The bull monsters inside the range of the gravity field took the direct brunt.

Boom~

The gravity force crushed them to the ground.

Seeing that one of their own is down. The remaining bull monster's eyes reddened with anger. 

All of their eyes set on me instantly. Seeing the quick change in monsters' behavior. I stood dumbstruck. 

"How come all the bull monsters are acting as one?" I mumbled under my breath. Then I realized the answer was within my question itself.

These herd monsters seem to share some sort of connection. It reminds of the parasitic ability of the weird flower. 

Tremor~

At the same time the bull monsters acted as one. When one of the bull monsters activated the ground shaking ability out of anger. The rest of the monsters did the same.

The ground beneath the entire vast lands starts to shake. 

The sudden tremor broke my thoughts.

Looking at the actions of the 50 monsters. My assumption turns out to be right. Before I could think further. 

Cracks began to appear on the ground under my feet. It's starting to stretch towards other directions.

Cracks~

The next second, I fell into a small pit. There is no way to defend it.

At the same time, the bull monsters aced. Some of them charged forward. The bull monsters pointed their horns forward to drill the enemy.

[Ding! Warning]

[Host is advised to leave the place.]

A mechanical voice sounded in my mind. Hearing that, I realized the monsters are coming towards me. What is the plan? 

The ground shaking ability makes it difficult to hide in this vast open field. Looks like the bull monsters used to trap the enemies with this ability.

Standing, I immediately cast the same magic spell again. Again, the gravitational force attacks the incoming monsters. 

Tud~

Under the massive force, one by one the bull monsters fell down on the ground. Their legs are totally smashed. 

The immense pressure breaks their body slowly. Seeing the outcome, I continued to pour the mana. 

Blinded by rage, the bull monsters entered my field one by one. But the gravity force crushed them the next second.

The sharing ability of the monsters have pros and cons. Because of the connection they can use their innate ability. But at the same they have massive cons. 

Like now, the monsters are running to me without thinking. Right now, it seems all the monsters share the same emotion. It was a rage.

They want to take me down no matter what.

But my magic spell is effective against the ground of enemies.

Several minutes later,

When all the bull monsters died. The announcement came. 

[Floor cleared]

[The next challenge will start 15 minutes later.]

Hearing that I sat down on the ground. Apart from the crazy consumption of mana, the trail didn't post much of a challenge. 

But if it were another branch of wizards, things could have been different. I don't know how the weapon wizards would fight against the herd of monsters?

Shaking my head, I began to take a rest.

A 15 minutes later,

[5th floor]

[Challenge starts in 5 seconds!]

As usual, I stood up from the ground. The Trial seems to give importance to the environment. I don't know what the next floor will be? Is it desert?I think you should take a look at

When I finished uttering the words. I found myself standing on the scorching sand. 

"This?" A trace of disbelief appeared on my face. I looked around me. The environment here is not desert with many sand dunes..

And the temperature here seems to be no joke. Even level-5 wizards like me are experiencing the heat here. This is definitely a difficult floor.

The ground beneath me is not stable. It's a loosening sand. If I'm not careful, I can fall off.

The next second, I spotted a monster hiding in the sand. 

[Red Stinger Scorpion - 5th order monster]

[Ability- Metal Poison, Quick speed]

My expression turned serious. I'm starting to miss the empty grassland right now. My gravity spells might have the opposite effect here.

The unstable ground together with the sand environment. The environment itself poses a threat compared to the monster.

Rustle~

The next second, I saw many Red Stinger Scorpions coming from the sands. Their speed ability in this environment also makes them deadly.

One by one the monsters appear above the surface. I guess the scorpions are not only monsters native to the environment. 

"Gravity Field," I uttered.

The gravitational force appears. But the gravitational field is not only destroying the monsters within the range but it is also affecting ground.

My feet are slowly sinking in the sand. Seeing that, I canceled the spell. 

Then I started moving away from the monster. But as I started walking, I found there was no change in the loosening ground.

Behind the monsters following me at fast speed. On the way the new monsters are appearing above the surface.

Seeing that, I felt a headache coming. Last round, I eliminated all the 50 bull monsters to clear the round.

This time I can't even count the number of Red Scorpion Stingers facing me. Then I decided to stand in one place to attack the monsters.

Time passed,

After casting a few magic spells, I walked to different spots to attack monsters. At first, I didn't notice the changes. 

Apart from the rapid consumption of mana, the number of monsters remains the same. But as the time went by, the monsters were appearing in a few numbers. 

Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Looks like I found the clue. But before that I decided to check the mana reserve status.

"Show me the status panel," I said to the system in mind.

[Ding! The Host's command is recognized.]

[Title: Lord of the Gregor Mansion.]

The status panel appeared. I saw that mana consumption was heavy and the stamina also dropped a little. 

I have to restore the mana reserve. After closing the status panel, I brought the recovery potion outside. 

This is not a suitable place to recover. But I have no choice. I strongly believe that the scorpions are not the only monsters out here. There might be others as well.

From each increase in floors, the difficulty will be increased but not reduced. So before mana reserves hit rock bottom. I have to use this recovery potion now.

After gaining some clarity, I opened the cork and drank the liquid.
