Evolution of Slime to Peak

Chapter 85 Monster Forest - Part 2

Suddenly, his eyes widen. He raised his eyebrow and bit his lips. His hands shook.

A monster, the size of an elephant. It had huge hands and feet, completely looked like a bear. Its skin looked thick.

The monster glared at Allen. Allen's face turned pale, color faded from his skin. He felt a huge pressure like two elephants were sitting on his head.

With just a glance, Allen recognized the strength of that monster.

Tier 3, Mana user, Gorilo!

Gar!

The Gorilo emitted out its aura that suppressed Allen.

Allen bit his lips and controlled his shaking hands.

He was like an ant in front of the Gorilo.

How could he not be? He is only Tier 1, even if he had defeated Tier 3 monsters, they were the weakest ones and they didn't have any mana.

And his magic is only Tier 1. If he couldn't cast them repeatedly, he would have already died.

Tier is not something casual, a Tier 1 mana has lower quality than Tier 2. As the tier increases, the quality of mana also increases.

That goes for skill/spells too. Tier 2 spell couldn't be cast by Tier 1 mage, since their mana is not as pure as Tier 2.

Meaning, that Tier 2 mana has the quality to cast Tier 2 spells. Since the purer mana a mage has, the more powerful and destructive their spells are.

Looking at the monster, Allen's mind rushed at an incredible speed. He thought of different plans to escape from the Gorilo.

Thud! Thud!

As the Grolio rush at Allen, the ground shook. Even with its huge weight, the speed of Gorilo wasn't slow.

Allen tried to run with his trembling legs. Using telekinesis on himself, he floated in the sky. He wasn't that proficient in flying, and controlling himself with his own spell was difficult.

But in the face of death, Allen used all of his will and fought with the pressure.

Telekinesis can be used to fly in the sky since one could control themself with the spell. But it takes 2 times the mana that is used on carrying other stuff.

That's why it is not a very practical thing to do. Not only that, controlling oneself with their own spell is hard. It's like trying not to fall off a building while only using your pinkies

But, with practice, one could get good at it. The only problem is the mana which is not a problem to Allen.

Staggering in the sky, barely managing his balance, Allen escaped the Gorilo.

"ROAR!!"

The Gorilo cried angrily.

But Allen didn't even look back. His backpack on his back was giving him more weight. So, he had to land or else he will fall to the ground.

"Hah! Hah!"

Huffing and puffing, Allen breathed heavily. His expression was full of fear and despair. This was his first time experiencing pressure, and the motion sickness of flying in the sky also affect him.

"Arg!!"

Puke!

He threw everything he had eaten. He quickly took a healing pill that didn't fix his exhaustion but made him feel a little good.

"I bearly escaped death. It... was so terrifying..."

Allen's face showed complex emotion. He was scared, he was happy, and he was also excited. If there was any other mage beside him, then they would have been traumatized. But, Allen not only subdued his fear, but his will to fight the powerful monster also increased.

Next time, he wanted to explore Monster Forest after reaching Tier 2.

He will fill the gap in Tier with his unlimited mana.

He has already accepted the fact that he has infinite mana.

After that, he quietly returned to the academy. He spent only 3 hours in the Monster Forest and made a fortune.

'I should go to the black market to sell these.'

Allen thought and reached his dorm which is beside the academy building.

Since the academy makes a fortune every day, its building is long and huge. The dorm alone has 50,000 rooms, and all students and teacher living in the dorm have their own personal rooms.

That's how rich, the academy is.

"Haah! Home sweet home"

Plop!

Allen jumped on the bed and snuggled. He slept leisurely.

*****************************

After sleeping like a pig, Allen finished his everyday chores from cleaning himself to cleaning his room.

He ignored every other student that was staring at him. They weren't ridiculing him this time, but they also weren't praising him.

There was a rumor of him going into the library and reading expensive books for free. Well, it wasn't a huge deal as every other student does that, but Allen was a Tier 0, and it wasn't natural for Tier 0 to study other spells.

If you can't even master your own spell, what is the use of looking at the advanced spell that is impossible to learn at your current state?

So, they were just thinking of asking him, but they were reluctant.

Allen left the dorm and walked on the bustling street.

People wearing normal attire were walking on the side of the road, while people wearing robes, armor, and other profession-related outfit walked in the middle of the road.

Since there was no vehicle invented in this ancient period, it was rare for horse carts to drive inside the city.

Allen observed his surrounding. Grumpy men, Beautiful women, playing children, cute girls, Bully-looking boys, and middle-aged men and women, all walked silently. Nobody was conversing with each other, the reason, no one knew.

It just, this environment was peaceful to them, so they decided not to speak.

Houses built with bricks and wood stood side of the road. The design was perfect, with houses on the sides, and the road in the middle.

After walking for some minutes, Allen reached a more bustling place. However, this time, the place was filled with noise.

"Who wants heaven-defying beauty?! Just use our beauty product - Princess Cream, and get smooth and beautiful skin that will attract any man! Use one time, and I dare to say, you won't complain!"

"Come come! Check our fresh vegetables. They are freshly harvested from the field! Cheaper in amount!"

"Treasure place! We have different types of treasure in our place. Come and check it!"

"Who wants a pill?! Healing pill, Mana pill, Stamina pill, Di*k enlargement pill, Night-lasting bed pill-"

Allen quickly passed by this bustling normal market.

This wasn't his destination.

After taking some turns, he entered an alley. And quite to the surprise, the alley wasn't narrow. The alley was huge. This was the place that was deliberately built between those two houses.

If one didn't know about this market, then it was rare for normal people to stumble here.

Unlike the previous market, where people were advertising their store, the shopkeeper here were all quiet. The atmosphere itself was quiet.

Except for dealing, no one dares to make noise.

Allen smirked and walked toward the shop-

All-Buying Treasure House

A middle-aged man wearing a good-looking robe sat on a chair with an emotionless face.

Inside his shop, various items, equipment, potion, pills, books, etc were displayed on the different shells.

Despite having this many things on display, only flies were roaming around him. With an irritated face, he drove away those flies and waited for customers.

Black market and morning, of course, no one will dally carelessly. Despite the black market operating 24 hours, only a minority of people come here.

Why? A black market is an illegal place, of course, the big house wouldn't want to have anything to do with them, even if everyone knows about it. They still had to keep face.

And the majority of good stuff is sold at night, and only useless or low-tier things are sold in the morning. Naturally, it is more active at night. There are more reasons, but there is no need to explain every one of them.

"Excuse me."

A soft polite voice reverberated inside the shop.

The nearly sleeping shopkeeper widen his eyes and showed a bright merchant smile. A smile indicating to consume every money out of people.

"Yes, my dear customer. How can I help you?"

With polite words, the shopkeeper approached Allen. Allen looked quite surprised since this is the first time he came to the black market.

He had only heard about it from others and knows about the way, but he had never done any business here.

The shopkeeper examined Allen from top to bottom.

'From his outfit, he seemed to be a mage.'

He thought putting his hand on his chin and again looking at Allen with another flattery smile.

"Distinguished customer, you seem to be a mage. Are you here for pills, potions, or spellbooks? Should I show them to you?"

His words were humble.

Allen who was a little surprised raised his eyebrow, and with an indifferent face, he said. "Yes, I am here for some potions and pills. But, I am also here to sell monster cores."

"Oh!"

The shopkeeper's eyes stretched.

"Can you please show me the cores?"

"Yes."
