Chapter 88 Third Floor !!
[First step]
As Shin said those words, everyone was ready, as this is where it starts.
The first step of the plan was to lay traps. Shin had asked Alice to make soul bombs that detonate on command like remote bombs. She readily agreed, as this was possible for her.
Elena was supposed to create as many lances of ice as she can. Although her mana was draining at a rapid pace, she was determined to do that. So she managed to pull through 80 of them.
With his 'Extreme Speed and Shadow Veil,' Shin was able to set up and lay the traps without being noticed.
The next step was to attract as many monsters as possible.
Shin made his way to a lone monster.
"I'll try to make it as painful as possible, so scream, ok." Shin was at the tree atop the monster.
"Fireball." As Shin activated his ability. A compressed ball of flames formed in front of him.
Shin waved his hand as the ball made its way toward the monster. The monster noticed something was wrong, but before it could figure out anything. It was already caught in flames.
*SCREECH*
*KREAAHH*
Shin plugged his ears with his hands as a smile formed on his face.
[Guys get ready.]
As Shin's voice sounded in everyone's head. They started making their way to the position. Alice leads Elena and Simon inside the forest. As she had set up soul markers on all the bombs and Shin. So she was able to get the general direction sense.
It's very difficult to navigate inside the forest without detection skills.
With his predator's eyes, Shin noticed more than 50 monsters came hearing the monster's scream. Shin frowned seeing the numbers being less than he had expected.
"It doesn't matter." Shin waved his hands in the air and Ice lances started shooting off at the monsters with gravity control.
He had tied all those lances with arcane webs so he could detect them and shoot at his conjecture. He had also activated his Razor Slash, so it was a one-shot kill.
*Swoosh*
*Woosh*
Facing the barrage of those lances, all the monsters were dying without being able to do anything.
In a few seconds, all the monsters died.
Everyone arrived at the scene when the last monster died. Shin turned to them and suddenly a wide smile formed on his face.
More than a hundred monsters were coming their way.
"Guys, let's change the plan. Let me fight them and you guys support me." Shin said as he was only looking at those monsters as only experience points.
"Are you sure?" Simon asked.
"I'll be fine. I need to kill them all. It's necessary." Shin said as his figure vanished from their sight.
'I have to kill as many as possible so I can upgrade the skill.' Shin thought as he wanted to upgrade the Razor Slash as fast as possible.
While avoiding all the traps easily and with extreme speed, he was already in front of the monster horde.
He unsheathed his sword and used his Extreme speed and Gravity control to move. With the addition of Shadow Veil. He had become very terrifying for them.
A moment later, monster heads could be seen flying. With his good reflexes, Shin was avoiding all the trees and only killed the monsters.
"Fireball"
In between his slashes, he also used other abilities to finish them.
His every slash was very sharp with the effect of Razor Slash.
He tied a few monsters with arcane web and finished them with Electro bolt.
Soon, he heard a loud explosion.
*Kaboom*
Shin smiled seeing that others had arrived. Elena started shooting off her ice attacks.
Shin was avoiding all the air cutters by the monsters and dealing with them.
"Arise"
Alice summoned her servants, too. Seeing Alice using her power like that Elena also got an idea.
"Ice dolls"
Although she managed to create a doll, she wasn't able to keep it for long and it disintegrated.
Simon also used his hammer to attack those monsters. He was able to kill one at a time.
Shin was like a god of war. With his every attack, he was able to kill 4-5 monsters.
"Fireball"
"Arcane web"
"Electro bolt"
"Devourer's touch."
With their combinations, no monsters were able to stop Shin. He was like a machine that was getting constant fuel, so fatigue wasn't a problem for him. The more monster he kills, the more he can recover with his skill. It was like a never-ending cycle.
Seeing the monsters getting close to the location of the bombs. Shin gave a message to Alice with his mind control.
[Alice.Bombs.]
Hearing Shin's message, Alice also started detonating them.
*Boom*
*Kaboom*
Not long after, the whole tide of monsters was killed.

"Hehe, this is nice. I wonder how great the effects will be now."

Shin was shocked beyond words now. Three upgrades in a row. This was too amazing. Without wasting a second. He shouted.
"Yes."

[Congratulations! Your Razor Blade skill has ranked up to (B).]
"Wow, it was worth it to fight all of them."
Everything soon came up to Shin with excited faces.
Shin smiled back at them. He was very happy that everyone was okay. Simon did get some small injuries, which Alice healed by summoning her mother.
Elena and Simon were looking at the white humanoid figure, which gave them a warm feeling.
*Ding*
