Happily Destroying the floor

Ed spent an entire week on this floor. Not by his choice, but he couldn't find the boss monster or the teleportation circle. The second floor was huge. Vastly superior in size compared to the first one. 'The boss would usually be in the lowest room. But it is so far away…' Ed kept his Map on all times. He didn't meet any other humans. This made him question his ability to explore. If other people found the next floor so fast, then that means Ed was wasting his time.

However, Ed did manage to level up quite a bit on this floor. He was now level 26. One step away from Earth Establishment. His training is also making him better and better at Haki. Ed's plan was to acquire the Haki skill, and then focus on his space magic. He felt like he was close to a breakthrough when he entered the tower. So now, it was only a matter of patience.

"This will take too long! Raikou get in my shadow…" After walking around for two full hours, Ed finally snapped. "If I need to get to the last floor, I'll create my own way!". Ed was focusing his Nen in his hand. The yellow aura kept on condensing, turning as bright as the sun. Ed was thinking of developing his Hatsu, and this was the first step he decided on.

After a couple of seconds, Ed hit the floor beneath him with his powered up fist. The feeble ground couldn't bear with the punch and crumbled. Ed popped up a couple of pills he had created. These pills were specifically made to help one recover his QI. He kept charging one punch after the other. The floor's ground was like paper for Ed.

Some people, who were considered professionals in this tower, had just teleported inside the second floor. However, as soon as their feet touched the ground, they felt like an earthquake was happening. An extremely powerful one. 'What is happening?!!' None of them had experienced this before. This floor wasn't a dangerous one, especially to experienced people. But now, they felt as if a monster belonging to the top floors was somehow summoned here.

Ed was happily destroying the floor's grounds. Unbeknownst to him, the group of people would live in fear for a couple of days on this floor. Ed spent a good 30 minutes destroying the ground. The last room was hundreds of meters deep, making it hard to reach. Yet, Ed did it in less than thirty minutes. Excluding the last week.

As Ed was falling down, he noticed a huge metal door. "That better be the boss' room" Ed wasn't in the mood for any games. He looked up and noticed that the floors he broke were being fixed on their own. It was a magical ability of the tower. Its ability to mend itself was outstanding. Ed made his way to the metal door and pushed it open. Inside was a huge room, and in the back were three Golem statues. Only one was missing for them to make a circle. They were holding great-swords in front of them, resembling ancient statues.

When Ed reached the middle of the room, the three statues started moving. Each one of them carried their own sword and faced Ed. In Ed's case, he brought out a blindfold. He was adamant about learning Haki on his own. No matter how long it took him. Ed scanned the Golems before losing his sight. He found that each of them was King Establishment level 2. Not too strong, but not too weak. Just right for a challenge. Of course, this only applied to normal people. Ones that didn't blindfold themselves in a life or death battle.

The Golems were making their to Ed. However, he simply stood still. As if digesting all the information he was getting. Slowly, but surely, the world was getting slower and quieter around Ed. It was as if he was swallowed by darkness where only he existed. Suddenly, four small light orbs appeared around him. Three were in front of him, while one was in his shadow. 'This is?!' Ed finally got an inkling about Observation Haki. It was different than anything he experienced before.

Ed kept observing the orbs as they got close to him. 'How will they move' Ed was trying to figure out how they will attack. He was trying his best to make the orbs take the actual shape of the Golems. Unfortunately, he got too into it and got sent flying by the slash of one of the Golems.

"That hurts!" Ed was not really hurt. But his senses were dulled currently, making him sensitive to other feelings. What he didn't know was that Raikou, who was in his shadow, was secretly laughing. Suika wasn't around since he recalled her while he was destroying the ground. Ed got up once more and approached the Golems. This time a little more carefully. Every time, he would go into the 'darkness' making him 'see' the things around him. But, he would either get hit or dodge by instinct breaking him out of his trance-like state.

Ed repeated this process a few times before he got sick of it. "I'll do better if I fight someone stronger than me anyway!". It was the truth. Ed always did better when fighting stronger opponents. Not those that couldn't even kill him when he didn't even retaliate. Ed summoned Gobuta, Goburou, and Garu. It has been a while since all three of them were summoned together for a fight.

"Those are your opponents" Ed pointed to the three Golems. These Golems were different from the ones Ed fought before. These ones didn't get tired or break down. Each one of Ed's companions chose his opponent. Nothing could describe the battle better than 'One-Sided Slaughter'. Ed's three companions didn't know how to hold back. They did their best to finish things quickly.

Gobuta shattered the first monster with one sword slash. His Silver great-sword seemed as if it had cut through dimensions when destroying the first Golem. Goburou's opponent had hundreds of holes in him. The Golem started crumbling down from the sheer number of holes. Garu didn't even use his two swords. Instead, he was holding the giant Golem with one hand while breaking it apart with the other.

After the last Golem was defeated, Ed and his monsters were surrounded by light. They were being teleported to the third floor.
