Parallel - A Virtual Reality.

V2. Chapter 9. The Wishes (Part 2)

The greatest difference between these and the others, besides their appearance, is that they have Mana. Magical attacks start pouring out from these, and the battles become more dynamic, making our blood boil again as it felt kind of refreshing to fight against something different.

After all, we haven't fought against elemental creatures. Of course, there have been those that could use some magical attacks, but none had the ability to cast magic besides destructive or regenerative ones, excepting Mader

Fighting our way deeper into the dungeon, we feel that time flow of time is getting 'shorter'. We started becoming careful, as we had already lost track of time before, but something made me feel uneasy about this entire place, so I ask Dey a question that has been on my mind.

"Dei, if we are already on the Elemental Zone, then what is next?"

"Thought you would ask that. If it was just this then the amount of people completing the place would be huge, but these are just the beginner parts" Says Dei as he continues "I can't really reveal anything about this place, but I can at least tell you that you should always remind yourself why you are here..."

"So, there are more Zones..." Noticing his unwillingness of saying anymore, I just leave that comment and don't push him for more.

"Yes, there are." Says the Sword before going silent again. Knowing this information beforehand at least can makes us prepare mentally for what's to come.

Thus, we continued, the battles are more thrilling as we have to change tactics sometimes. Our enemies this time are 'stronger' than before, considering that we went through a few close calls in the neutral zone, now everything has become harder.

A couple weeks go by, fighting relentlessly against stronger and stronger creatures, barely surviving sometimes when they piled up. Adapting ourselves to different situations, our means of attacks start to diversify as we become more proficient in the use of our skills.

As we advanced further, it was a matter of time that we got to the end of the zone, as the notification appeared along with a few elemental creatures in front of us.

You have entered the Probation Zone!

Cannot escape the area until it's completed

"Can you differentiate between us?" Asks the creatures.

"Yes, we can" Answers Peko this time with a solemn look. I could feel they were resonating with the creatures, even I had a weird sensation when looking at them.

"Then, please do so" It says before disappearing and became a different creature as they merged together.

"We are one now, can you tell us, what we are?"

"The same" Answers Zenith while moving forward to them as he gets his sword out. Battle stance ready.

I start going forward too.

"And what are you?".

"We are what we chose to be" I answer back while drawing my two swords out calmly.

"And is what you chose to be, stronger than us?" The being in front of us asks as their powers are going on rampage, increasing tumultuously.

"Of course, we are!" As we say that, we charge forward, fighting spirit soaring through the skies as we clash against the creature.

Elemental Creature Level: 325

Health: 450.000

Mana: 100.000

It starts doing fire breath, and we rapidly disperse as we start attacking back. My attributes increase for some reason as I feel the flow of the elements, this whole floor has been heaven sent to me as I could feel my Elemental Enhancing increasing effortlessly.
