Fantasy System

Chapter 100: Power To Defy Logic

Ed spent his time inside the boss' room. Every day, one of them would go out to hunt monsters. The rest of them would usually train until he returns. Once that happens, Ed would create a pocket dimension. He tried out different variations of it. He tried the time-gravity combo, but it quickly drained him. He could only keep it up for two hours in real time. However, the training yielded great results. He could only set the gravity on x2, but it provided them with enough training. Ed got some extra stats without leveling up. He didn't experience this for a long time.

Luckily for Ed, he didn't have to wait for a whole week. The boss re-spawned after three days. The boss this time was a Minotaur. "Of course it is! We're in a labyrinth!" Ed smacked his forehead for not noticing such an obvious thing. He was now getting a weird feeling from the tower. It seemed as if the one who made it, did so as if he knew things about Earth's culture. That, or this was just an incredible coincidence.

The Minotaur had a red-black skin. It was carrying a giant axe in one hand. When it noticed Ed and the others, it let out a roar and charged at them. Its cultivation was at Earth Establishment level 3. 'Isn't it weak for a boss?' Ed remembered that the lizard-man he killed to level up had the same cultivation level.

[The Minotaur's rarity should be at Epic. Making it much stronger than other monsters at the same level. At least those with lower rarity]. The system explained due to Ed's lack of knowledge. Ed felt that the system was being nice to him lately. Explaining things even when Ed didn't ask for it.

"Grrr!" Raikou stood in front of Ed and the others and growled at Minotaur. The charging monster stopped in its tracks after Raikou released his aura. A Legendary monster was indeed different than others. Raikou didn't usually show much interest in battles. But now, it was as if he felt like he needed to fight more. Ed and the others understood his intentions. They got to the back of the room and sat down. Waiting for the show to begin. Ed even brought out some snacks, causing Raikou to send him some questioning looks.

The Minotaur seemed restless as it rushed at Raikou. The latter was the opposite, calm and collected. Ed noticed that Raikou used Ken and his lightning clad at the same time. His aura seemed to fuse with lightning, giving him a majestic look. 'He's also thinking about his Hatsu' Ed noticed that Raikou was also doing the same thing as him. He was going to develop his Hatsu in this tower.

As only a few meters remained between the two of them, Raikou shot out. His rush was so powerful that Ed felt the whole Labyrinth shake from it. Even he couldn't detect Raikou's movement. He could only see that the Minotaur had a gaping hole in his chest. It was over before it began. Raikou's strength was defying the very logic of this world. Same as Ed. Ed noticed that Suika and the others looked restless. Raikou's display of power moved something inside them as well.

"Well then, here we go," Ed spoke as he noticed that light was surrounding them. Ed opened his eyes after noticing that the teleportation ended. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt an intense wave of heat enveloping him. He looked around and could only see rocks, with lava coming out of them. It was as if they were inside an active volcano. Or maybe deep inside the earth. The heat was unbearable. "Garu!" Garu being the only one who could use Ice magic was called by Ed. Garu withdrew his sword and swung with it. An ice layer surrounded them in an instant. The ice didn't melt as one would expect. Garu's QI was enough to make it sustainable for quite some time.

"We'll try to get used to the atmosphere here as the ice melts. After that, we'll start hunting." Ed didn't want to look for the boss immediately. It was good training, as well as a chance to benefit from the surroundings. Ed could train using Gravity and heat in this place. Making the benefits double. But it was very difficult.

As the ice melted, Ed and the others felt their bodies slowly adapting. They could still feel the heat, but it wasn't as unbearable as before. It was as if they fooled their bodies. When the ice completely disappeared, they rushed out to find some monsters. They met with different types of monsters. All of them were Earth Establishment. The strongest ones among them were the flame bats. These monsters would always be in a group, making them even more dangerous. They could use Fire magic and a sonar ability which confused their enemies.

As soon as Ed met up with them, he drew Muramasa and Ame-No-Murakuma. "Nitoryu nigiri: Toro!" Ed slashed upwards with both of his swords. This time, however, it wasn't a simple slash, it was a flying slash. Two parallel sword projectiles targeted the group of bats. The sharp attacks killed the first couple of monsters instantly, while the rest were able to dodge it. However, they found Gobuta and Goburou waiting for them. What followed was an instantaneous win.

Acquired 3000 Exp.

Acquired Gacha ticketx2.

Ed was happy with the amount of Exp they were giving. They were at Earth Establishment level 3 but their Exp was satisfying. He even got two tickets. Ed activated his Map and checked out the area. He noticed that they were inside a cave, not a volcano. He followed the way out, and as soon as he reached the exit he was stunned. The whole area outside was covered with rocks and lava. It seemed like the whole floor was a giant inferno. Ed studied the area more and decided on his next destination. He chose areas where monsters gathered around.

"Let's make the most out of our stay here," Ed told them as he withdrew his swords. Starting from this floor, things would get difficult.
