Chapter 259 Going Up

Aion changed his class again to Necromancer and then blocked the mana spears with earth walls. In the next moment, she made those surround the monster and began pressing the Mana Shield's sides. Eventually, it began to crack when the monster ran out of energy. Then, the earth's walls crushed the creature.

You obtained 11.000 experience points.

"I guess this was the only way to save mana…" Aion thought. "As expected, dealing with enemies that can use this spell is troublesome."

Aion more or less had the experience of knowing that thanks to some games and books, but experiencing it, in reality, was even more difficult. Fortunately, the knowledge that he obtained with those who also worked there… using normal attacks will only make him waste more mana. Continuous attacks like the earth walls that consume less mana are a better option.

"Still, I guess I should keep using the necromancer class in order to make it reach the max level," Aion thought.

"Did you see the enemy's face under the hood? Can you describe it?" Sauros asked after he approached.

"What is the point of that?" Aion asked.

"I want to confirm if they are figures of the past that we have in our archives," Sauros replied. "I want to know from which period they came from. The sooner I confirm if they are from the period of your ancestor or not, the better. I don't think that she would do something like transforming her friends into undead, but I don't think that she faced people like this. If she is able to turn into undead people from other eras aside from hers, then-"

Sauros started a very annoying and long explanation as to why they had to register the appearances of all the enemies they faced in the tower. He kept going for ten minutes, but Aion stopped listening after thirty seconds.

"Do you get it?" Sauros asked.

"No," Aion replied. "Let's move to the next floor."

Aion didn't want to waste more than five minutes on each floor, and it would be great if they could finish things that day, but that would be an optimistic estimate. In any case, things soon were going to change, and Aion confirmed that when they reached the fourth floor… a tall, muscular and blue creature suddenly appeared. The monster also had in his hands a club made of ice…

"A troll?" Sauros asked while frowning.

"Let me guess, it went extinct a long time ago as well," Aion said.

"Yes… those creatures are known for their strength, endurance, and ability to regenerate insanely fast, so you shouldn't take your time with it," Sauros replied.

That was the textbook explanation about trolls… in any case, the skin of the monster looked really lifeless… was that thing even alive? It wasn't just a zombie or something? In any case, the creature began to dash toward Aion while making loud impacts with its steps since it was five meters tall.

Aion charged and thrust his spear forward when the enemy swung its club, both weapons collided and a loud impact echoed in the area. Aion could feel his bones vibrating a little, but the monster was pushed backward… he won when it came to strength, but the beast recovered first and then swung its club downward again.

Aion jumped to the side and dodged the attack, and then thrust his spear toward the enemy's head, but the creature twitched its neck to the side, making the tip only scratch the cheek a bit. The blood began to fall, but the wound quickly closed…

"That is fast regeneration, alright…" Aion thought.

The monster turned around and then swung the club. Aion jumped to dodge the attack and then used Force Release before using Sonic Throw. The Weapon pierced the head of the monster, and then the creature fell before turning into shadows that soon dissipated…

You obtained 11.500 experience points.

"This is a good amount of experience, but I can't don't feel satisfied since I am forced to use Force Release," Aion thought. "It would be another matter if this were a skill that I could level up."

"This isn't time magic… the monsters weren't supposed to disappear like this. If that were the case," Sauros mumbled to himself.

Technically, the ice dragon that Aion killed came to that era using time magic, but it didn't disappear. It became materials for Aion's weapons. In any case, it was really curious that the enemies could disappear like that. While they looked like the death knights… Aion didn't think that they were supposed to disappear like that. The skeletons sure didn't…

"I can feel that the enemies are getting stronger. We should pace ourselves in order to avoid problems like facing a stronger opponent while not being rested enough," Seris said.

"You should convince him of that," Sauros said when Aion approached.

"... Aren't you the leader here?" Seris asked. "Even if you're not the one who contributed the most, you made all this possible by working even before the start of the mission."

"It is fine if you two want to take a break. I don't mind," Aion said. "Even though you haven't fought until now."

"You really had to say the last part, didn't you?" Sauros asked and then sighed.

"I don't believe that I let you guys get hurt aside from the time she was caught by surprise by that assassin," Aion said. "I always made sure that the enemy's focus was solely on me, so I really can't understand your fears."

"Is it hard to believe that we worry about you since you are always the one getting hurt?" Sauros asked.

"No, but I guess that makes you two look and sound pretty dumb," Aion said while frowning. "Just shut up and focus on the mission since it is almost over, and it isn't time to make a mistake now... it is usually where most people make mistakes. Let's hope I didn't jinx ourselves here..."
