Bull And Snake

As he went, he met a few more lizards here and there and another snake that also tried to kill him. Floid managed to kill them without any trouble. The skills gotten in Rivalle can never be leveled up/ Every skill only has a set amount of power it can produce. But with Floid's EX skill that allows him to use as much Mana as he wants, he can increase their output as much as he wants. None of the monsters even stood a slight chance against him since he was using a much more advanced copy of their skill!

Floid managed to get through the caves and tunnels without much discomfort, he was trying to get to the final trial as quickly as possible so he can see what exactly this place is. Floid had a feeling that he would be getting answers in that final trial. Either that or he will have to kill another person.

He got to another cave and once he entered this one he got another message.

[You have entered the third trial]

Floid immediately became guarded. He already learned from the former two trials that he will face a monster that is far stronger than him. He looked around and waited for the monster to arrive.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hey, hey, hey. Don't tell me those are footsteps! I can feel the entire cave shaking!!

The footsteps that Floid could hear were very loud and before long he saw a giant monster duck into the cave from the opening opposite him! It was more than ten feet tall and Floid had to bend his neck backward just to look at it! The monster had the head and legs of a bull but the body of a man. It was a giant minotaur. Fuck.

Roarrrrrr!!!!!

The monster roared at Floid before charging straight for him with its horns positioned to tear straight through him! Floid had to jump to the side while activating rapid strike to go even faster! He appeared on the other side of the cave before he quickly put his hand on the wall behind him and activated [Earth Lance]

Ten giant lances shot out from the earth and headed straight for the monster, but the monster only put its head down and ran through the lances like they didn't even exist!

Floid cursed inside his head. This could be a problem! He knew this monster from Rivalle the game and he also knew that it didn't have any sort of skill that could be copied. This monster only had an extremely strong body and horns that could never be pierced using regular swords! Floid died many times to this monster before he finally managed to kill it. It was an annoying bastard!

But now that annoying bastard is right in front of him! He needs to come up with a plan quickly. Come one. Come on. What sort of thing can you do to a strong but idiotic monster?

Floid kept on dodging the charge of the beast while trying to think of a way to kill it. He couldn't shoot it, he couldn't cut it because he didn't even have a weapon. What the hell can he do.

Blind it.

That answer came from the dark mind of our protagonist and demons would have flinched in fear if they saw the smile he got once he had that idea! Floid let out a small chuckle as he looked at the idiot that was in front of him. The bull charged straight for Floid one more time, but this time Floid put his hand down to the ground and released a large fireball that blew dust everywhere!!

The bull charged straight into the dust cloud but it missed Floid by a mile. It shook its head from side to side to try and get the dust away and by the time it opened its eyes it couldn't see anything but dis around it! Where did that little guy go to! I kill you!

"Hey, idiot!!!'

The minotaur looked back as it heard a shout from Floid and it couldn't stop its eyes from widening when it saw Floid in the air!

Floid was holding onto two sharp lances that he created using [Earth Lance] and once the minotaur looked towards him, he landed on the monster's chest and stabbed the lances straight into the bastard's eyes!

Squelch!!!

Roarrrr!!!!

The scream that came out of the monster's mouth was filled with Unparalleled pain! Floid didn't give a fuck! His smile widened as he put his hand on the bottom of the lances and dug it even deeper into its eye! Come on! Come on! Stab that fucking brain already! It's not even using the brain so there's no need for me to feel bad for it!

Hahahahaha! Come on! Die for me!

The monster swung its hand towards Floid, but Floid held on tight to the lances! The monster was in a bad position to deliver a good blow and also Floid's body was much stronger than before. So even though he felt a lot of pain from the hits he knew that he wouldn't die from them.

It took a whole minute for the monster to finally stop moving and another minute for it to finally die. By the time it died, Floid let go of the lances and allowed its body to drop to the ground as he took in deep breaths. Damn. He really had to increase his defensive ability. This monster is strong.

And just as Floid said that a new skill appeared on his tab!

Name: Floid

Lvl: 35

HP: 450/670

MP: 7500

Job Class: Demon Lord

Artifacts: Nil

Skills: [Fireball - F] [Earth Lance - D] [Rapid Strike - D] [Greater Hardening - C]

Hax: [Duplicate] [He who is loved by Mana]

[Greater Hardening]. It was a high defensive ability that increased the strength of your skin depending on how much Mana you put into it. People would usually only use it when they are in desperate situations because it would take up a lot of Mana to use properly. But for Floid, something like that isn't an issue. He is loved by Mana, so he can continue adding Mana to his body. As he adds more and more mana, the amount that he can contain will also increase, and as time passes he will eventually have impenetrable skin.

Floid immediately started to add Mana to his body and he could feel himself getting stronger already!

Fuu~ This Mana of a thing is really versatile. Floid couldn't help but think something like this. Almost every problem he has had so far has been solved by Mana and he couldn't help but love it.

Floid continued moving through the tunnels and this time, he didn't see any monsters as he went. Instead, Floid saw that many plants and herbs were growing around the tunnels. He recognized many of these plants and herbs as important ingredients for making potions inside of the game. A single one of these plants would usually go for no less than a hundred silver coins. That is a lot of money in the game! It could even buy a full set of armor for an adventurer!

Floid wanted to take these plants with him, but he didn't bother. For some reason, he could feel like there will be things that are even more precious up ahead. He just has to keep going up.

The next room that Floid entered had a strange smell and look. There was a pinkish gas that filled the entire room and Floid could feel his head getting light as he inhaled some of the smoke. Shit! Floid quickly put his hand up to his nose and mouth to prevent himself from inhaling any more but it was already too late because the effects worsened as time went on! It was almost like he was getting drunk!

"Ara~ Ara~ I see someone has finally come to play with this big sister,"

Floid shook his head and focused his eye as he looked around. He saw something coming out from a curtain on the other side of the room before a beautiful woman's body came into view. She was completely naked from the waist up and only her long hair blocked her breasts from view. The bottom part of her body wasn't human, instead, she has a long scaly tail there.

She is a lamia.
