The Primordial Tamer

Chapter 292 Second Floor Of Stellar Tower

?

Orion had eagerly awaited the moment when he would finally be teleported to the second floor of the tower. As the hour of rest before each floor had passed, he had been busy preparing himself mentally and physically for what lay ahead.

He had checked his equipment one last time, ensuring that he had everything he needed. His heart was pounding with excitement as he waited for the hour to pass. Finally, the time had come, and he felt a sudden rush of anticipation as the teleportation magic began to take effect.

Orion closed his eyes and felt a jolt of energy course through his body as he was transported to a new room. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was standing in a dimly lit chamber with unfamiliar walls and floors.

He took a moment to survey his surroundings, and a sense of unease washed over him. The second floor seemed to be darker and more foreboding than the first. Orion knew that he was in for a tougher challenge than before.

Suddenly, a low growling sound caught Orion's attention. He turned to see ten grey wolves emerging from the shadows, their eyes fixed on him. His heart quickened at the sight of the wolves.

Orion was relieved to find that the enemies on the second floor were the same grey wolves that he had faced on the first floor. He had already become familiar with their fighting style and their weaknesses, and he knew that he could take them down with ease.

"So only these wolves, and they were only at Seventh-Stage Warrior Realm. It will be easy," Orion said confidently as he surveyed the group of ten wolves before him. He had reached a higher level of power and strength since his last encounter with them and was feeling more confident in his abilities.

Without any hesitation, two of the wolves began to lunge at him, claws ready to strike. Orion's reflexes kicked in as he swiftly dodged their attacks, moving to the side with agility and grace. He then used his martial arts training to deliver a swift kick to one of the wolves, causing it to drop to the ground with a thud.

Orion's confidence grew as he realized how easy it was to dispatch these creatures. However, he knew better than to let his guard down. The remaining wolves were circling around him, and he could sense that they were getting ready to strike.

Orion took a deep breath and focused his attention on the crystal knife in his hand. He had received the knife from Atlas earlier when he entered the Ruin Space. With a swift motion, Orion raised the knife and channelled his Qi into it.

He closed his eyes and visualized the Blade Wave technique that he had learned from his master. He had practised it countless times, but this was the first time he was using it in a real battle.

Orion suddenly opened his eyes and slashed the knife forward, releasing a powerful wave of energy that travelled towards the wolves. The Blade Wave cut through the air, leaving a trail of shimmering light in its wake.

Orion's eyes widened in amazement as he saw the Blade Wave slice through the air with ease, leaving behind a trail of shimmering light. He watched as the powerful energy wave tore through several wolves, cutting them down instantly.

The remaining wolves, caught off guard by the sudden attack, were left reeling as Orion swiftly closed in on them. He leapt into the air, his sword gleaming in the dim light of the tower. With a swift motion, he brought his blade down on the head of one of the wolves, slicing it cleanly in half.

The other wolves, sensing the danger, backed away, growling fiercely. Orion could feel the adrenaline pumping through his veins as he prepared for their next move.

Suddenly, one of the wolves lunged forward, its sharp claws aimed directly at Orion's throat. But he was ready. He sidestepped the attack and delivered a powerful kick to the wolf's hind legs, sending it crashing to the ground.

As he landed, Orion spun around to face the remaining wolves. They were circling around him, baring their teeth and growling menacingly. Orion could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he prepared to face them head-on.

With a fierce shout, he charged forward. His sword held high. The wolves, sensing the danger, backed away, but Orion was relentless. He slashed his sword through the air, cutting down one wolf after another until only one remained.

The last wolf stood before him, its eyes filled with fear and desperation. Orion could sense its hesitation, but he knew he couldn't let his guard down. With a final burst of energy, he charged forward and delivered the final blow, his sword slicing through the wolf's neck with ease.

Orion stood there for a moment, catching his breath and taking in his surroundings. The second floor of the tower was definitely more foreboding than the first, but he felt a sense of satisfaction knowing that he had overcome the challenges it had presented.

[Congratulations, Host, for clearing the second floor.] 

Orion felt a surge of confidence as he acknowledged the system's praise. He knew that he had worked hard to hone his skills and was well-prepared for the challenges that lay ahead.

"Thank you," he replied with a hint of satisfaction in his voice. "It's not that hard."

However, he knew better than to be complacent. The tower was full of surprises, and he needed to be constantly on guard to face whatever lay ahead. He turned his attention to the upcoming hour of rest before the teleportation to the third floor.

During this time, he spent a few minutes analyzing his strategy. He reviewed his weapon and gear, ensuring that everything was in proper working order. He also took a moment to reflect on his past experiences and battles, analyzing his strengths and weaknesses.

Orion knew that each floor of the tower presented unique challenges, and he needed to adapt quickly to new situations. He had learned the hard way that being overconfident or unprepared could lead to dire consequences.

As the hour drew to a close, he felt a rush of anticipation and excitement building within him. He knew that the third floor would be even more challenging than the last, but he was ready to face it head-on.

With a deep breath, Orion steeled himself for the challenges ahead, mentally preparing himself for whatever lay in store on the third floor of the tower.
