(Demonic Forest)
Twenty days are the test period. At this time, many have reached the end of the second zone. The first two zones seemed easy to everyone. However, it will not be the same from the third zone. Everyone is preparing for the third zone. There are many powerful demonic beasts in the third zone. So all the teams have to be careful there.
Team Rossif is the first of all the teams. Team Rossif is taking a break. At this time, his friend the ref came to him. Rossif knew from the look on the ref's face that he would ask some questions.
-->>Racif, is it okay for us to let all the demonic beasts go around like this?
The ref asked the question to Rasif. Rasif was expecting a question like this. He knew that killing demonic beasts increased experience and made them stronger. But that wasn't their main purpose.
-->>I know what you mean. Look, what is the main purpose of our test? We are not worth much in the tower anyway. And if we fail this test, we may not have a chance to enter the tower. So what do you think we should do? (Rasif)
Rossif thought about the tower and told the referee. It had been almost two years since they entered the tower, but it was during this time that they realized that the tower was no place for them. The strong always rule over the weak. This is the eternal truth of the past, present, and future.
-->>We have to complete the test anyway. But to complete it, we have to strengthen the newcomers a little. Otherwise, if something happens to one of us, we will be eliminated. (Ref)
The ref sat down next to Rasif and told him. Rasif had been sitting on a rock all this time. The ref also sat down to rest for a while. Rasif now started to answer the ref's words,
-->>Do you remember the hybrid from a while ago? (Rasif)
The ref was surprised by this sudden question from Rossif. The ref started to remember his past. It could be said to be one of the three terrible events in his life. The ref swallowed his breath and replied,
-->>Goblin General, Goblin King and finally this hybrid. In three places I thought I was going to die. (Ref)
The ref looked up at the sky and said this. Thinking about that moment after being lucky enough to escape death, a lot of fear builds up in my mind.
-->>Even with my strength, Chain and I couldn't do anything to the hybrid. If Chain's team hadn't been able to use the Mana user domain, we might all have died. (Rasif)
Rossif was mentioning Mio. Suddenly, the ref started thinking about Mio. The ref himself is a Mana user. But is it even possible for him to have a domain? The ref looked at his hands and started thinking,
"I have to be strong too."
Seeing the referee silent, Rossif began to speak again,
-->>Ref I've been looking down on Demonic Forest a lot lately. Maybe I was less focused on the outside after getting the chance to enter the tower. I think this is not just my case, but also the case for all the other team leaders.
Rossif took a deep breath and told the ref. Basically, to enter the tower, you have to follow several rules. The most important of which is the test ground. If you don't pass the test ground test, you can never enter the first floor of the tower.
Now many people will ask about the test ground test from people who entered the tower with the help of money. Logically speaking, they will be able to pass the test easily. However, there are rules in the tower. The tower does not work like the outside world. There are certain rules and regulations that must be followed.
Both Rossif and Ref have learned some of the rules and regulations of the Tower in the past two years. As a result, until now, only the Tower seemed scary to them. Rossif's father is a Hunter who kills Demonic Beasts for money. Rossif has always thought his father's job was easy since he was young. He thought that the monsters in the Tower were hundreds of times stronger than Demonic Beasts. How completely untrue. However, Rossif cannot deny that his father is a very strong Hunter.
-->>Rasif, we shouldn't be thinking about this. Since you are the leader, you have to make a solid plan.
Rasif, who was lost in thought, suddenly came back to reality at the referee's words. He smiled a little and said,
-->>Since the chain team has a mana user who can use the domain, our immediate focus is to enter the fourth zone.
The ref understood Rossif's plan perfectly. Rossif was planning for his team to bypass all the demonic beasts. And they would be taken care of by Chain's team. In this opportunity, Rossif's team would be in the lead, which would help them enter the fourth zone first.
"If Rasif thinks with a cool head, he can come up with a very good plan."
The ref put his thoughts aside and got up from there. They had to go forward again.
* * * *
On the other hand, everyone in Chain's team is in the middle of a fight. About fifty demonic beasts have surrounded them from all sides. Several corpses can be seen all around. Snera and Luba are standing in the middle of everyone. Everyone is standing in a circle around the two of them and fighting with the demonic spider. They are a very dangerous demonic beast from the second zone.
Usually, the number of spiders is large. A mother spider is able to lay thousands of eggs. And a demonic mother spider is able to lay at least two hundred demonic spider babies. Because of which the spider is a very dangerous demonic beast. Usually, spiders are very small and there are some among all the races that are poisonous. However, due to the intense demonic energy of the demonic forest, spiders have also mutated along with all the animals. As a result, the size of the spiders has become equal to that of dogs.
Spider is much more terrifying than the rest of the demonic beasts. Demonic Fox and Demonic Rat had nothing to attack except their bodies. However, Demonic Spider is different from them. Demonic Spider's rank is "D" in the Hunter Association. So far, Chain's team has fought with "Yi" and "F" rank demonic beasts. So they were able to finish them off very easily. But the current situation is not like that at all.
-->>The number of these spiders is never ending. They keep coming one after the other.
Doofus said it out loud. Everyone was pretty tired. They had been fighting their demonic spiders for quite some time, but their numbers showed no sign of ending. Even after killing ten, ten more kept coming in front of them.
-->>I think there are spider nests nearby, which is why their numbers are increasing.
Chain said this by pressing the sword in his hand into the ground. They all formed a round formation. In the middle of which Luba and Snera were placed. Since they were the most important members of the team, their safety had been thought of beforehand.
Spiders are not ordinary demonic beasts. A spider builds its own nest, hunts its own food. A spider's trap can be called its nest. They produce a sticky soft thread like a spider's anus. Which is commonly called a spider web.
A small spider uses its web to make a beautiful trap, in which any small insect that enters gets stuck in the sticky web. Then the spider breaks it. This is basically how spiders survive. Demonic spiders are no exception. They also hunt, but the difference is the size of their prey. Previously, they would only be happy if they got a small insect, but now they are not happy even if they get a whole elephant.
-->>Chain Shouldn't we leave here? In case a hybrid comes along like before.
Luba suddenly said this to Chain. It's not like Chain hadn't thought about this. But something even more terrifying than the hybrid is waiting for them if they stay here for too long. Mother Spider is a much stronger entity than a normal spider. So Chain doesn't want to stay here for too long.
-->>I want to get out of here too, but the spiders are surrounding us from all sides.
Chain said it very loudly. There must have been more than fifty spiders surrounding the entire team. They had blocked everything with their webs very nicely. Chain's team was standing in a circle in a small space and all the spiders were on the web.
Until now, Alex was standing with his wooden sword like everyone else. He hadn't been able to kill a single demonic beast in these few days. He still hadn't had a chance. Alex's level hadn't increased since killing some demonic foxes that night. So Alex couldn't hide his excitement anymore.
"Skeleton Army"
Alex can call any number from his skeleton army. The exact number that comes to mind when activating the skill will appear to Alex.
Alex didn't want to show off his own power here, but he couldn't stand the smell of so many demonic beasts anymore. He wanted to increase his level by any means. And there couldn't be a better time for that. Through the Info skill, Alex saw that the demonic spiders were level 30. That would help him a lot in increasing his level.
Myra has been using her fire magic for a long time. Although fire magic is not very effective against demonic spiders, their webs are easily burned by Myra's spell. Chain, Doofus, and Zeab are standing on three sides, killing the Asha spiders near them. Elin and Mio are attacking the spiders from a distance with their ice magic. The two of them have freeze spells and ice chain, which are very effective against the spiders. However, if this goes on for too long, everyone will run out of energy at some point. So Chain was thinking that it would be better to leave here.
Everyone's attention was focused on the demonic spiders, so they didn't pay attention to their surroundings. Within moments, a skeleton ran towards the demonic beasts.
-->>What is this again?
Doofus screamed in fear. Not only Doofus. Everyone else was also very scared. This was the first time they had seen a skeleton that was acting like a monster. Everyone looked at each other to understand the situation. But when no one said anything, they all realized that it was nothing but another demonic beast.
-->>Will it attack us too? (Answer)
Everyone got ready for the fight again. Everyone thought it was a demonic beast, but Chain, Mio, and Luba were the most surprised.
"It's an undead. But how is that possible? How did the monster in the tower get out?" (Chain thinks)
Skeleton soldiers are also called undead. They are very popular monsters in the tower. Chain doesn't understand how a monster from the tower can be here.
"This undead looks different to me. I've seen beast-sized undead, but I've never seen anything like this." (Mio thinks)
The Skeleton Fox that Alex summoned was emitting a light black smoke from its body. Something that even Mew had never seen from any other undead. He couldn't understand how this was possible? An undead would never just walk around here.
"But this energy can't fool me." (Mio thinks)
Mio was able to recognize the energy in Skeleton's body, so he glanced at Alex lightly. Since he himself was a mana energy user, and his energy perception had increased greatly due to training, he would not make a mistake in recognizing even a small amount of energy.
Even though everyone was thinking about Skeleton, Alex wasn't thinking about it. Only the level of Demonic Beasts was floating before his eyes. So he ordered his Skeleton.
"Start the dance for your king."

Tell me how it is.
