Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

“Finally dead!” Miles looked at the second wolf carcass and sat on the ground. Although with one of them dead, the other wolf wasn’t as annoying, it was still a tiresome battle because of the elemental abilities of the monster. He was able to kill the first wolf because of the surprise element but the second was not as easy.

“Let’s see if they dropped any orbs,” Miles said and cut open their bodies. Unfortunately, there weren’t orbs but cores instead, which were still valuable, but much worse than orbs usually dropped from Magnet Wolves. These rare monsters had a rare type of orb. It could create a magnetic field around the user to protect them from any metal. Even a Gatling gun spraying thousands of bullets in a second couldn't pass through the barrier and all bullets would be deflected. Of course, it wasn’t effective against monsters but it was still pretty good against other hunters. After all, most projectile weaponry had metal in them and this orb could prevent someone from getting ambushed. And if one could find the pair of orbs from the mates/sister, these two orbs would create an area that overlapped and draw all the metals inside the area.

“You are unlucky.” Coin sighed in his mind.

“I sure am.” Miles too sighed as he grabbed his orbs and weapons from the first floor and descended to the third. When he saw the monsters, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Not because of hardness or rareness, but because they were so normal. In the room, there was a skulk of foxes lazing around. Their fur was blood red and their eyes were pink. If Miles were, to be honest, he would admit that he found them cute. But these little devils were not cute at all. They were blood-sucking monsters, literally.

Red Foxes were so common in F-Circle and the only thing Miles could think about them was their thirst for blood. Unlike other monsters, these suckers wouldn’t eat the flesh of the animals they killed but would only feed on their blood to fill the sack they were carrying in their bodies. Sack helped them to excrete alloys.

Their sacks were valuable in Unity, as they could have different types of alloys. By sucking the blood of different species, Red Foxes could generate different types of metals. In their sacks, it would be in liquid form but when in contact with air, it would solidify pretty quickly.

Their fighting style was a lot like spiders. Shooting the liquid alloy and attacking while the prey was busy. But they were quite weak other than this specialty, thus Miles’s surprise.

He didn’t let them get prepared and created arrows of lightning in the air. Although he wasn’t as proficient as Alex, he too could create tens of arrows in one go. Lightning cracked and arrows rained from the sky. The foxes wanted to defend themselves, so they shot out liquids to stop the arrow, but lightning was the bane of metal elemental creatures. The lightning traveled through the metal and hit the monsters. Those they missed, hit them on their bodies directly. In no time at all, all were dead. Miles cut open their bodies and removed the sacks carefully, lest he damaged them.

“I hope they have good alloys. They were in the tower, so probably haven’t fed on any unique blood to strengthen their alloys.” Miles chanted silently.

After he collected everything, he descended again.

Fourth Floor; Moon Bears. Cannibals who collected claws of other Moon Bears to intimidate other monsters. They would usually be alone, and the one on the fourth floor was also alone. It took a while, but Miles finished it without a problem.

Fifth Floor; Zombie Whiskers. Giant dead cats with the death element. There were a bunch of them and they gave a challenging battle but Miles was able to kill them all. And for the first time, there was an orb. Although it was only low-tier, so he decided to trade it.

Sixth Floor; Crimson Poison Serpents. A very rare and very deadly monster who terrorized a stronghold once. It was able to pass through the security with its ability to hide inside its prey’s body. Although their general size was around 2 meters, hiding inside of the body, it killed hundreds of hunters before it was caught. Since this one was in the open, Miles had no problem killing it before it could sneak up on him.

Seventh Floor; Crying Cock. A monster that could make its prey bleed from ears by only shouting. They weren’t dangerous if a hunter knew how to use energy to block the sound, but when caught unaware, the cock’s cry would paralyze the hunter and before the hunter knew it, they would die. Miles instinctively blocked any sound and finished the beast.

Eight Floor; Parasite Leech. Monsters so small, they would enter the bloodstream and reproduce infinitely in a matter of hours. Their only giveaway was the smell they excreted. The heavy irony smell was a danger sign for all creatures as it reminded blood. So when Miles saw the empty floor and felt the smell, he activated the energy vision to notice the little creatures making their way to him. He burned them to crisp with lightning.

Ninth Floor; Red Feathered Dinosaur. The feathers were harder than metal and could be recreated by sacrificing blood. These dinos would drink gallons of blood to compensate for their expense. It was brutal, as they were too durable. But Miles was able to bring the beasts down by using everything he had.

After resting for hours, he walked toward the stairs. On the tenth floor, would be the first boss. From what Milosh told him, he knew there would be a creature with strong ability. Maybe even an ultimate. Although it was unlikely, Miles was still alert.

He slowly made his way down and looked at the opening. On the other end, stood a mighty creature. The creature raised its head to look at the intruder. Its nostrils expanded to breathe out the annoying smell of the human it just inhaled. Its eyes were burning with irritation and anger, but it was still lying where he was and didn’t seem as if it ever would rise. Its tail was moving lazily, and one of its claws was drumming the ground.

“A fucking Liger?” Miles looked at the majestic beast. Pink body, blood red stripes. Orange mane swaying in the perfectly still room majestically. The purple eyes looking down at everything in creation and five fucking meters tall body dwarfed everything in existence.

“A fucking Nightmare Liger?”
