Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 187: [Bonus chapter]Part 1: Fighting against snake monster

Only after earning sufficient Alliance points, I can practice at Claudiaʼs gym. Similarly, practicing in the mana chamber will further increase my core progression.

My eyes gleamed with expectation as I thought about this. Images of Liam, Easton, and Frank Lambert flash before my eyes. Only in this way, I will handle future problems without any worry.

Like Frank Lambert, who knows when the next variable might come up out of nowhere? Since the mana chamber can help me with progression, then I should use that opportunity.

My heart eases down after gaining some clarity in my thoughts. Then again, I looked at the map to find an unconventional route. There are very few paths leading to the wide plains.

Because the hilly ranges occupied most of the area, you need to trek and walk over them or find some other path to walk past them.

Finally, a small route caught my attention. Unlike other routes, this one has several stages. There are small hilltops and forest on the way, but if you can walk past them, you will reach a smoother route ahead.

And from there, it will be a lot easier to reach the wider plain. Seeing that, a small smile blossomed on my face. But I didnʼt let down my guard. If I can see this, then other hunters with discerning eyes can find it as well.

So I need to reduce my speed while using this path. After deciding, I closed the map and raised my head to see ahead.

SIGH

After letting out a deep sigh, I ran towards the destination.

First, I need to walk away from this edge. Then Iʼll slow down my speed after reaching that unconventional route. Time passed, Half an hour later, I had successfully covered some distance.

In a few minutes, Iʼll reach the unconventional route. Earlier, from the map, I noticed this unconventional route had a zigzag pattern. It has a lot more curved paths than the typical snake route.

Huh, I knew it would consume a lot more time. Then I put those unnecessary thoughts behind me and move forward to the destination. Soon I reached the unconventional route.

The route is covered with boulders and rocks. I carefully stride forward. Itʼs easier to remove all these hurdles with my power. But I donʼt want to leave any traces behind.

It is always good to have fewer enemies. Then I started my journey to the wide plain. But before I could relax, I heard a hissing sound.

HISS

Hearing that, my heart skipped a beat. I paused my movements and looked around my surroundings. When I observe, I can hear the hissing sound loud and clear. I realized it was a snake monster.

But I donʼt know what level of order it has reached. Then I slowly followed the sound to where it came from.

Finally, I spotted a large snake coiled around under a small rock. But what amazed me was that the snake was staring in me. It had already known of my presence.

”System, probe the targetʼs details, ” In my mind, I instructed the system.

[Ding! The hostʼs command is recognized.]

[Ding! The command is executed.]

[Status Panel]

[Targetʼs Name: Ground Snake]

[Order: 1st order, intermediate level]

[Strength: 40]

[Vitality: 42]

[Speed: 41]

[Stamina: 44]

[Ability/Skill: Venom bite].

A wide status panel is in front of me. Retracing my gaze from the coiled snake, I looked into its details. The next second, my expression tightened. Damn this monster is stronger than Frank Lambert.

A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. I never thought I would expect this level of monster so soon. The atmosphere quiet down for a moment. Other than the snakeʼs hissing sound, which reverberated around the surroundings.

Various thoughts come to mind. Then I looked at its skills. The venom bite skill did not surprise me. Itʼs the most inherent skill of snake monsters. I thought about leaving, but it will be difficult to escape from the snake monster, its speed is higher than me.

Now, I slowly realized, I had gotten myself into a tricky situation.

Time passes,

I never averted my gaze from the snake monster. But as the time passed, I felt something was wrong. The snake, which was coiled around, didnʼt move an inch from its place.

What is going on? Next, I fixed my gaze on its abdomen. Then I realized what was wrong. I slowly breathe in relief and revealed a bitter smile. Fortunately, I have a good fighting chance this time.

The crystal gem of this monster will fetch me a good amount of money. The reason Iʼm confident is that the snake monster appeared to have consumed a large amount of food recently. Itʼs slowly digesting the food.

After looking at the status panel again, I made it disappear. Currently, the snake monsterʼs speed will be hindered. I can use this opportunity to slay it. After gaining some clarity, I took out the black dagger from the storage bracelet and held it in my right hand.

Seeing that, the vicious snake monster hissed louder. It felt like a threat from the person in front of it. But it also sensed that human was too weak. The snake was already dissatisfied with the small amount of food it had consumed. Now there is another prey. The snake monster didnʼt want to lose it.

The next second, it immediately dashed towards the human prey at full speed.

I uttered, ”Gravity Field.”

A terrific gravitational field formed into a 10 meter range. The tremendous pressure brought on by the gravitational force made the snake monster startled. Using this opportunity, I moved from my previous spot.

WHIZZ I heard an air tearing sound from behind. I knew this monster had reached the previous spot. I need to save myself from getting a deadly bite. The next second, I used my mana reserves without any concern.

With the input of such mana, the gravitational field is further stabilized. I noticed that the snake monsterʼs speed was reduced because of the gravitational field. But I still underestimated the snake monster. The snake monsterʼs earlier consumption of food didnʼt hinder its speed as much as I thought.
