Tower Ascension

'What the hell am I thinking? If I can't kill it then I will die. So, I must kill it.'

The bloodthirsty aura bloomed out of him as he looked at the wolves in front of him as his prey. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed 'If I am not wrong then there are twenty wolves in each level which means I will be facing twenty level ten wolves, not considering the boss.'

'It's going to be hard. But, I must utilize everything I have. If I bleed, I must make them bleed as well.'

Two swords appeared in his hands. Peter pressed his foot hard on the ground and leaped his body on air. His body gets horizontally to the ground but then he starts to spin his body in mid-air. He releases his mana as well.

The mana transforms into flames and makes a horizontal hurricane around him. The flame hurricane moved around him and condensed the sharp tip at the front. This tip was made with his swords. He went directly towards the group.

Splash! Splash! Boom!

Splash! Splash! Bang! Thud!

In just a few seconds, his sword pierced through a few wolves until it got blocked by a massive wind wall created by three wolves. Suddenly, two wolves appeared to be behind him and bites his legs. Their sharp teeth pierced his muscles and blood pours out.

At the same time, they shook their heads and smashed Peter to the walls.

"Damn, these monsters are strong! How am I supposed to fight them when they can use their brain so perfectly?"

"Should I spend my internal energy and create dominating force or should I keep using my mana? Man, I knew this is going to be hard but this is just on another level" Peter spoke to himself with the injuries all over his body.

He slowly got up and spread some portion of his mana throughout his body.

He held both of his swords and dashed towards the wolves even though blood gushed out of his leg.

His only way to defeat those wolves would be his agility. But even so, there are fewer chances to use agility against wind manipulation.

Peter knew he had to come up with something. But the question was what?

There were so many thoughts running on his brain that he needs to calm down. Unfortunately, he got no chance because if he slowed down even a little he will be torn apart by those wolves.

Upon reaching in front of the wolves, Peter raised both of his swords. Mana encircled his sword as it began to rise and form the massive creature-shaped flame.

Peter was visualizing the creature in his mind while using his Mana.

"Fire Dragon Cleaving Claw"

Peter gathered his mana forming a giant claw of the fire dragon. The dragon was just an illusion but the fire condensed in its claw was a chunk of massive flame power with internal energy.

Because of skill leveling up, Peter was able to use his internal energy and mana simultaneously.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

The giant claw smashed those wolves to the ground. Blood spattered everywhere and the number decreased by 10. But Peter landed in the middle of the pack of wolves.

The wolves roared at him then pounced with their sharp close pointing wolves throat finished up Peter raised both of his swords to protect himself but when they collided with his swords he was smashed on the ground.

With some cracks on his back, Peter was beaten to the point where he wasn't sure to stand up. But, suddenly the flame spread him. He poured all of his mana, not leaving a single drop in his body. He had nothing but flames around him.

The wolves tried to run away but Peter smiled bitterly. Mana slowly rose and formed a giant ball of fire. Peter slowly moved his hand and touched the ball.

"Exploding Sun!"

Boom!

The next second, a huge explosion engulfed the entire room inside it. Not even the leader was able to escape. And, Peter was in the middle of the flames. He knew this move was reckless and that's why he was thankful that he was alone.

Only this gave him enough assurance to use this move on that massive scale. He had not a single ounce of mana left. The flames slowly died down. In the center, Peter was laying on the ground with burned skin, blood, and ashes.

His eyes were closed but soon they opened. At this moment, a strange power was flowing through his body, keeping him alive. This power was the result of his HP going below 30 percent. And more importantly, he only had five HP left.

He thought that explosion would kill him but he was saved. Because when before he used Exploding Sun, his HP was down to fifty percent, giving him five times greater comprehension over his own skill. That allowed him to have better control over his own skill.

If it was the normal explosion, he wouldn't an inch of injuries but depleting all of the mana, he was able to create an explosion that razed those wolves into ashes, nearly killing him.

Grrr!

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed he turned around and saw the wolf moving towards. He had a few bruises but everything else was fine. This wolf was none other than the wolf leader.

'Damn! Damn! Damn! Why? Why did you live? Why couldn't you die?' Peter cursed in his mind. He exhausted all of his mana but couldn't take down the boss. But soon, his mind calmed down.

'It was the worst but I still expected this. That's why I spent less of these.' As he thought to himself, a bottle appeared in his hand. He opened the cap with his finger and drank the potion.

Roar! Tap! Tap!

When the wolf saw Peter taking Healing Potion, it instantly rushed towards him. Peter didn't know whether it was able to recognize healing potion or not but he knew wolves were smart. There is no way this wolf would let him recover.

And, thankfully he never wanted to recover completely. He still needs the blessing of Dying Divine Breath. Otherwise, he would die at its foot.

Peter instantly kicked the ground and raised his upper body. Two swords were at his sides. He caught both of them and raised them to block the claws.

Bang! Crack! Crack! Bang!

When those swords blocked the claw, one of them started cracking until it completely got broke. The broken part of the sword fell far away. Peter knew this wasn't going to be easy but having one less sword in the middle of boss battle was bad timing.

He poured five points of internal energy, leaving only five points to create dominating force. As it spread through his veins, his arms got immense strength. Even with his single sword, Peter pushed the wolf and successfully stand up.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

But, the wolf didn't give him enough time to retreat. It instantly shot dozens of wind blades towards Peter.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Peter closed his eyes for a second and opened it. The Basic Sword Technique inspires his eyes to follow every movement of those blades. He swings his arms and shoulders, dancing around and destroying those wind blades.

Although the force of wind blades was strong, Peter was using dominating force. With immense strength backed with intense swordsmanship, Peter slowly made his way towards the wolf. Peter knew he can't be injured now.

Single injury and he might lose his life. At this moment, his life was at stake. And, Peter was putting all of his hopes in Basic Sword Technique, the first skill he got from the system, the starter of his journey, the beginning of his rise.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Bang! Bang!

Peter moved left and right to dodge and break the wind blades while heading towards the wolf. Suddenly, he saw four wind blades forming a square as they rushed towards him. His eyes saw the entire movement while his brain processes the countermeasure.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his lips, he head straight towards the wolf. He raised his foot and kicked the metallic blade on the ground. This was the broken part of the sword. It was nearly half a meter long but enough to be used.

Bang!

The broken blade slashed the square diagonally and spilit the square in two triangles. The force made triangles smashed to the ground and ceiling, giving a straight view to Peter.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The wolf panicked and sent three wind blades hurriedly. Peter gripped his sword and slashed diagonally from the right.

"Basic Sword Technique- Right Slash!"

Then, he spun his sword and took it to the top left from the bottom, slashing another wind blade in half.

"Basic Sword Technique- Left Slash!"

His hand paused and slide to the middle. It stopped and came down straight. The sword split the last wind blade.

"Basic Sword Technique- Chop!"

Crack! Splash!

Finally, he pressed foot on the ground and dashed towards the wolf. It tried to dodge but couldn't. The speed was fast but there was a wind barrier. Even so, the sword pierced the barrier and stabbed the wolf in its neck.

"Basic Sword Technique- Thrust!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[Congratulation on completing the Hidden Room!]
