" You finished the third-floor and killed the Ice giant, proceed to the 4t-floor ".
In the 3rd-floor of the tower inside the mountain in one of the rooms, a black-haired youth with green eyes was battling a giant blue magical beast.
It was the 5th grade Ice giant, the magical beast of the 3rd-floor and Eros killed him with Cruel Sun Eros said:
" What is this, the magical beast in this floor is so weak what is happening is this really a trial sigh, it only been half an hour and I killed easily 3 beasts".
After Eros defeated the shadow wolf, he went to the second floor and defeated a fire bull who was a peak 4th-grade beast but it wasn't a challenge for Eros who only used one punch and made a big hole in the bull body and died immediately.
First of all, because of his perfect harmony with fire, the bull attacks had no damage on him and all he had to rely on was his physical power but he made a mistake as Eros strength is his strong point and so he overwhelmed the bull easily.
In the 3rd-floor, he battled the ice giant who was an initial 5th-grade beast and his affinity was to ice. Eros also hardly found a problem against him as he only used the heat emitted by his body and this made the giant magical attacks useless.
Finally, Eros used CRUEL SUN so he can finish him easily. Eros walked towards the 4th floor and when he entered the room, he found that in front of him a giant red turtle.
Eros looked at the turtle that has a horn in its nose like a rhino and on the black shell, he has fire spikes and big claws that could tear all the enemies into shreds.
Eros is really surprised because this turtle looked like a Godzilla on his old world but with a shell and it was red. Eros then said,
" Well you're not a giant monster like Godzilla as you're only about 7m but still you can be a good challenge".
When Eros said that he suddenly concentrated the heat and said:
"Solar beam".
When the beam hit the beast, it suddenly returned the attack and the beam came back to Eros but he dodged the beam immediately thanks to his fast reaction. Eros thought
( hmmm it seems that this turtle can return back the attacks sigh, finally an enemy that can make me go a little serious ).
Eros then launched himself on the turtle and started targeting the shell to break it.

[In another place on the island]
On the island, in a big room, Emperor Charles was sitting on his throne looking at the challengers and observing them through the magic crystals with the type that can transmit images to screens that he can see through. Charles said:
" It seems that Eros is the first to reach the 4th-floor as expected, after all, he is a mysterious person that can kill a 5th-grade beast with one hand and even his magic ability is also special. In all the years I lived and travelled the continent, I never heard of a magical ability that can make you level up so fast in limited time ".
Emperor Charles was really fascinated by Eros Sunshine as he then continued saying:
" Somehow I really want to study this power, that's why I put the Avoria turtle.hmph, I used some of my control and made the tower summon it to you. let's see how you deal with it after all its the perfect enemy for you".
He turned to the other screens and looking at the other people as he was quite surprised. He said:
" This time, challenges are quite strong and even the beasts, because the tower analyze the strength of a mage or warrior and all his abilities through the talent ground testing, results and then it summons a monster who is at least in the same league as him and as he climbs the tower, the magical beasts become stronger and more impossible, hhhhhhh I created these trials to be impossible to finish ".
After saying this he noticed that Lina is in the 2nd-floor against a 2nd-grade beast as for Lisa she was also against a 2nd-grade beast but in the 3rd-floor.
Shirafilia entered the 4th-floor just now and in front of her was peak 5th-grade beast. just seconds after her Williams and saifon also entered the 4th-floor and met a 5th-grade beast each.
korio and saydon progress are very slow compared to their level as they are still on the 2rd-floor. saydon is fighting a 6th-grade beast and korio also the 6th-grade beast because of their big age.
Komo, on the other hand, was struggling as he just now finished the 3rd-floor and was very injured as he headed to the 4th- floor. Charles smiled as he thought
(This batch is really interesting they are very talented except for those three but what is puzzling me is that one of them somehow cheated, I wonder how did he do that, well it's very amusing to see that smug expression. I will deal with him at the end).

[Back at Eros]
Eros was quite surprised as this turtle was very special. Its physical strength was that of a normal 5th-grade beast so it wasn't able to injure Eros at all but he was also unable to injure him because of the turtle weird magic power.
What surprised him that it was able to reflect magic attacks back using its shell. It was like his shell is full counter and not only that, it was also able to affect The WM around it and recharge himself with WM and so his full counter can stay active all the time this made Eros have some problems because it was the night time and for Eros, where he can't fight for too long as he still wanted to fight in the other floors.
The sun core that made him just like a magical beast, gathering and storing WM inside him and using it to maintain his transformation for 4 hours and attacking with it, as he was in the second stage in the DSCT.
Eros thought
( if I only had a good weapon like rhitta, I decided if there is any treasure weapon inside the tomb and can resist the heat I will take it for sure).
he started thinking about a way to kill the turtle
( think Eros Think there must be a way otherwise he wouldn't be classed as a 5th-grade beast with such a magical power).
Suddenly an idea came to him and he said:
" turtle I must say you really are something but your luck will stop here because against me the strongest man, I will take you down ". Eros then launched himself against the turtle and said " solar blast ".
This attack was a shockwave of the heat mixed with WM so it can make people around him blasted away. Eros blasted the turtle towards the wall of the room and then it fell on its shell and couldn't make itself get up.
Eros walked to her and said:
"It's true that your shell is your strongest point but its also your most vulnerable part that's why you are classed as a 5th-grade beast because the moment you lose the shell you become a normal monster, well at least you're better than those Sp outside so now goodbye ".
Eros slashed in her neck and killed her then burned the turtle body and made sure to let the shell. After some hour what remained of the ivora turtle body was the magical shell. Eros used a magical attack on it and it got reflected back. He looked glad as he thought
(this will be a good material for a weapon if it can counter the magic attacks it will be awesome, and this will make me literally invincible although I am already hhhhhhh).
Suddenly he heard the old man voice:
"Hmph, I know what you are thinking but this shell can only counter fire type magic attacks and if it surpasses 2 levels it will break, hhhhhhh did you think that I will give you such a great treasure without thinking through it, you're still 10000 years younger to trick me ". The 4th-floor passed do you want to exit or continue???".
"the old man is you an idiot, of course, I will continue ".
" proceed to the 5th-floor ".
" ignoring me, huh I will then see you at the end of this trials and will take all the treasures, remember this ".
Eros then walked holding the shell and walking to the fifth-floor and pondering about the fifth monster and then he thought
(I already took one hour to clear all the 4 floors if the monsters are too hard to deal with I will stop I must store the mana for the next challenges ).
________________
[ On the 4th floor in another room ]
Shirafilia was battling a darkness bat, and it was a peak 5th-grade magical beast who was on the verge of entering the 6th-grade and this made her have some problems with this beast.
She was dodging his claws and then she got some distance and started gathering the WM and transformed it into WM and then said:
" Fire arrows ".
and then 10 arrows that were half a meter long appeared around her and then a bracelet that was on her hand started shining green and gathered the magus-mana and poured it inside the bracelet and said again:
" Wind amplification ".
The winds started gathering around the fire which made the Fire arrow have wind slashes around it and then she transformed more WM into magus-mana and poured it into the fire arrow and wind slashes which made the arrows a 1 meter long and the wind more powerful and faster.
Finally, she launched them on the bat and because of the wind around arrow it became like a long bullet and hit the bat body. The wind made a hole in the bat body and then the fire burned the insides of the bat body.
After some time, the body of the bat had 10 burned holes that killed it completely because of the burning organs.
Shira walked to the corpse of the bat and then she made the spider legs get out of her body and then started cutting the claws and wings of the bat and eyes because they were the most useful materials of all the bat.
[ AN: for the spider legs imagine tang San from soul land but with purple colour and also long and very sharp. each one is perhaps 3m.]
Shira looked tired because of the battle as she thought
(I had to use the wind bracelet spell to make the necessary speed so it can hit the bat but really, the beasts on this island are all rare and that's why I am taking all the materials. I decided after the end of the trials to leave this island, I already reach the pinnacle power in this place and I need to go to other places so I can gain more experience).
Then she thought about the others who are taking also the trial and thought
(its clear that korio and komo and saydon will not pass the 4th-floor because they are old and also the beasts will get stronger perhaps they've already met the 6th-grade beast. The prince and his follower at most will reach the 5th floor and finally, the girls will reach 4th-floor and not pass it because of their inexperience and young age. The only one who I can't think where he will reach is Eros. His level is unknown and power is mysterious. The only known thing is that it's related to the fire. I really wonder about him).

[On another room in the fourth floor ]
Prince Williams was fighting a giant earthworm which was 7m long and a 5th-grade beast because Williams didn't want to tire himself as it was just the 4th-floor. he thought
( I must preserve my magus-mana for the next floor as the true challenge will start from there and so I will start getting serious ).
Although he was a late spirit mage, his abilities made him slaughter magical beasts at the 5th-grade thanks to all his good manipulation of magus-mana and high amounts of magic spells.
Also, he had two magic items that made him really a powerhouse able to destroy anything in his way.
( Except for those two little girls, all the others have a high level than me and this will give me an advantage as the monsters they face in the first floors will be stronger than mine and I will be able to enter the 5th-floor before them, Hhhhhhhhh).
What he didn't know was that Eros already entered the 5th-floor while he was struggling on the 4th one.
