As Ace wakes up he grabs breakfast from his bag and packs up his belongings ready to head into the fourth floor.
Heading into the portal, Ace finds himself in a forest full of short trees each having a powerful aura. Ace looks up at the canopy of trees all of the leaves full of hues of pink and purple.
"Ding… Mystic Grove Forest discovered"
Ace looks around and breaths in the fresh air, almost like the air is clear of any toxins that the outside of the dungeon has.
Ace wonders around finding a river that spans around 10 metres across, Ace looks into the water finding it to be crystal clear seeing the glistening crystals that lay at the bottom of the river. Seeing the occasional fish slowly swimming along the river floor.
Ace finds this area to be extremely tranquil.
After a while Ace decides to focus and search for a powerful aura to head to, as he starts investigating he finds that everything in this forest including the floor emit a large powerful aura and dense earth elements.
Ace sits down and meditates focusing on any aura fluctuations in the area and ignores the aura being produced by the surroundings. After an hour Ace locates a few powerful earth auras in the vicinity.
Quickly he gets up and heads straight to the closest one, Quickly finding himself in a huge clearing full of flowers, some flowers stand tall as they reach for the sky towering over Ace and the other small flowers.
Wandering around the flower field Ace sees a group of 5 orchid mantis'.

Ace quickly draws his spear and summons two skeleton golems to target some of the mantis'.
Ace charges at one of the mantis', its speed makes it hard for Ace to dodge the attack. Luckily he dodges, the mantis' claws scratching his left leg slightly.
Ace activates Lightning haste and within a blink of an eye skewers the mantis in front of him killing it. Using his full speed Ace within seconds kills all 5 of the mantis'.
Ace loots the bodies saying "Man those where weak, their speed was strong but their defences where weak."

Ace summons his shield and draws his sword. With a quick reaction Ace activates Mystic snare and Forest guardian.
While the butterfly can't move Ace used his speed and strength to land multiple fatal blows against the monster.
Instantly a giant storm forms around Ace as a flurry of wind blades target him. Hundreds of blades fly at Ace requiring all of his focus and energy just to dodge or block the incoming attacks.
The butterfly then released from its bindings produces a poisonous dust and spreads it into the storm. Ace detects the poison but is unable to do anything about it as he dodges the hundreds of wind blades that continuously form in the area around.
Ace slowly sees when wind elements converge to produce the wind blades but their speed is too fast to be able to effectively dodge.
As Ace's Stamina reaches half way Ace activates Stat Boost and Lightning Haste. As if time slowed down instantly in that moment Ace still finds the wind blades to move incredibly fast. Ace more easily manages to dodge the wind blades.
Ace with immense speed breaks out of the storm formed from the butterfly, leaving with a few scratches. Ace appears instantly behind the injured butterfly and lands a strike from below slicing the butterfly's right wing off, Ace then goes in for a combo strike from above landing his swords blade in the butterfly's head killing it instantly before it could react to Ace being there.
As Ace lands the poison kicks in, causing him to fall to the ground nearly out of stamina. Ace activates Healing light and takes a break right there as he struggles to move.
