Chapter 299 Zero At Floor-15

299 Zero At Floor-1Meanwhile, in the Tower of Obelisk!

[ “Ice Creation: Heavenly Spear” ]

Using Ice Creation, Zero conjured multiple spears and hurled them at the enemies. He was on floor 15 and fighting Rank-C Trolls.

A troll is a large, ugly, and brutish humanoid with an insatiable appetite for human flesh or other living things. They have rough, scaly hide, sharp teeth and claws, and a distinctive elongated nose.

Trolls are also known for their regenerative powers, meaning that they can quickly heal from injuries and can be difficult to kill. Their regenerative power could even surpass that of the Devil though they lacked the same amount of mana and could only use their physical strength to kill their prey.

They are also pretty resistant to physical attacks making them a nightmare opponent for close-range fighters.

Therefore, Zero used Magic Art to deal with these pesky opponents. However, weak magic was nothing for their defense and their regeneration power. So, Zero conjured a spear that directly struck their vital organs, head, and heart, instantly killing them.

“I think that’s it for today! I better rest for tomorrow.”

Zero had been fighting with Trolls and other Rank-C monsters the whole day. He finally felt his limit and decided to rest.

.....

He could fight a few more fights but he didn’t want to take chances. There was also a chance that he might be attacked in the night, so he can’t be too exhausted.

Zero took out his sleeping set as he made a huge Ice wall surrounding the place to block off monsters. Zero carefully kept Lilith in bed.

Lilith was still unconscious.

Zero had tried to wake Lilith by transferring his Dark Energy to Lilith on Floor 10. However, despite having taken in the Dark Energy, Lilith was still unconscious.

Zero checked whether there was a problem with his method but found nothing wrong.

Lilith’s condition was normal and even her level of Dark Energy went back to normal. Her condition was better than before but she didn’t regain consciousness.

Zero thought that it might have to do with Xalvar brainwashing Lilith. Lilith might be suffering some kind of mental disorder due to some kind of backlash from what she had gone through.

Zero was worried but was not anxious as he could see that there was nothing wrong with her. As long as she is given some time, she will wake up. Even if it was not by herself, Zero was determined to find healing potions that would heal Lilith.

As he was in the Tower Of Obelisk where treasures of all kinds are spawned, he knew that he could get something that might help Lilith.

Therefore, Zero continued to climb the Tower Of Obelisk with a new purpose as well as continued to train.

In contrast to before, Zero was now not rushed to go to the next floor. He took his time as he explored each floor as well as searched for the treasures.

Within two months in the Tower Of Obelisk, Zero was able to amass quite a few treasures. Despite this, he has yet to discover a healing potion that is effective for Lilith.

His training was also going well. With the monster strength in Rank-C, they were difficult for Zero to handle. Of course, it was because he was not using his Dual Art and Dark Energy. However, he was able to finally rank up.

= = = = = = = =

With his rank up, his strength and stamina stats had gone up. With him continuously training, it was no wonder that his stamina had become Rank-C +.

Moreover, he also felt that his Shadow Style was going to have a breakthrough. The reason for that was that he was using Shadow Style most of the time to fight monsters. With continuous use of Shadow Style, it was finally going to be stronger.

After his Shadow Style was leveled up, he was going to learn the movement technique from Shadow Style known as Shadow Dance.

“Shadow Dance” is a technique that allows the user to gracefully move in and out of the shadows, evading attacks and striking quickly and silently. It was good for attacking as well as running away.

There was also an attack technique that was used with Shadow Dance known as Nightfall Shackles.

This technique would allow the user to control the shadow of their opponent, using it to restrict their movements and prevent them from escaping or attacking. The user could use this technique to immobilize an opponent, making them an easy target for a follow-up attack, or to keep them at bay while the user deals with other threats.

With this anyone in his range, as long as they were weaker than Zero would be immobilized. This was similar to his Ice Ground technique but it was faster and enemies had less chance of escaping from the technique.

Moreover, there were enemies that the Ice ground could not freeze such as Professor Mia who had high Ice resistance, and also those with Fire skills.

Despite this, Shadow Genesis members do not consider this technique very useful. It was due to the huge amount of mana required to keep the opponent captured, as well as the fact that you cannot move when using the technique.

Shadow Style was a swordsman style, and swordsmen have low mana, so they could not make good use of Nightfall Shackles. Therefore, even if the move sounded strong, it was not suitable for them. However, Zero with his B-Mana could make use of Nightfall shackles well.

Anyway, he was looking forward to the day that he would be able to use those techniques.

Zero decided to wait for his Art to level up before ascending to a higher floor. Floor 15 was ideal for his current strength and it would be tough for him to fight monsters on higher floors without any kind of breakthrough.

For the next few days, the monsters on Floor 15 would tremble as Zero erased them from existence.
