[Ding!... Dungeon range SSS; first stage; third level.]

After the system announcement, the door behind Xie Feng closed abruptly as in the previous two levels.

However, Xie Feng's attention was on the scene that was unfolding before his eyes at this very moment.

*Swoosh!*

*Swoosh!*

*Swoosh!*

Three magic circles lit up at the same time, exploding in a flash of light. After shining for a few seconds, the 3 magic circles disappeared and what replaced them were 3 monsters.

The monsters were Ghost Guardians and their stats were exactly the same as the ghost guardians that Xie Feng had already killed before.

After appearing, the 3 guardian ghosts looked at Xie Feng with fierce eyes, raised their heads and roared.

*Mooo!*

*Mooo!*

*Mooo!*

Immediately afterwards, the three of them ran to him. Everything happened exactly as it had happened in the two previous cases.

However, even though there was only an increase of 1 monster, the difficulty had increased exponentially and it was not as simple as in the past.

Now, Xie Feng was being attacked by 3 sides at the same time: left, right and center.

He did not hesitate and threw a fireball at the guardian ghost on the left side.

-610 Critical Hit!

A yellow figure floats over the head of the ghost guard, slightly surprising Xie Feng. In just 1 second, almost 1/10 of the guardian ghost's HP bar that was further to the left had been drained!

Although he was a little surprised by his luck, Xie Feng did not stop his steps and started running towards the 3 monsters. When he entered the attack range, Xie Feng raised his sword in his left hand and attacked the same guardian ghost as before.

-83

Immediately after attacking Xie Feng took a somersault backwards. Just a split second later, two fists hit the ground he was standing on just moments ago.

Still in the air, before touching the ground, Xie Feng pointed his right hand and fired a magic bullet at the same ghost guardian he was focusing on, draining another 250 life points.

The 3 ghost guards ran towards Xie Feng, chasing him relentlessly. Just as the three began to run, Xie Feng noticed that one of them, the one in the center, leaned forward a few millimeters.

Any other person would probably have missed this minimal detail, even more so with the fervor of battle. However, Xie Feng kept a cool head, and he noticed it clearly.

This small, almost undetectable movement is the moment when the ghost guardians activate their skill: Charge!

Xie Feng saw out of the corner of his eye a nearby pillar and without hesitation ran towards it. The six-foot bull in the center exploded with clearly superior speed and moved away from the other two ghost guards.

5 meters.

4 meters.

3 meters.

2 meters.

When the BOSS was only 1 meter away from hitting Xie Feng, he made a sharp turn with his right foot and shot out to one side.

*BANG!*

The ghostly guardian banged its horns hard against the spine, causing a loud sound. While Xie Feng was casting spells on the BOSS who had already lost approximately 1000 health points he saw out of the corner of his eye that the ghost guardian who hit the pillar fell under the condition of a stunned state.

Seeing this, Xie Feng could not help but burst out laughing as he charged toward the two guardian ghosts and began to focus his magical and physical attacks on one of them.

***

[Ding!... You have successfully completed the first stage of the trial. To continue with the next stage, go to the door at the end of the corridor.]

Although the system just gave an announcement, Xie Feng did not seem to hear it. At this point, Xie Feng's face did not have the light, carefree smile that it once did.

The first stage had 5 levels in total, and in the last level, Xie Feng had to face 5 Ghost Guardians at the same time.

That's 5 BOSS 3 SUNS grade monsters!

At this point Xie Feng finally understood why the Village Guardian had advised him to surrender with the idea of the Desperation Mode trial.

Under the premise that a single BOSS 3 SUNS needs a team of 5 people to be defeated, this means that to overcome the final level of the first stage a group of no less than 25 people is needed!

However, the limit of people allowed in a group at the time of the job change quest is only 10 people!

In other words, Xie Feng is stronger than a group of 25 normal level 10 players. The mere fact of getting here is already a miracle in itself and probably in any other trial it would already be considered a success.

However, this is only the first stage!

Xie Feng calmed his slightly altered breathing as he remembered what happened on the last level.

Because Xie Feng's reflexes, speed of reaction and response are extremely frightening, he was able to get through all the levels without being hit once.

However, to successfully pass the 5th level, Xie Feng took almost 40 full minutes. The total time it took Xie Feng to pass from level 1 to level 5 of the first stage was almost 2 full hours!

One should know that to kill a Guardian Ghost with 7000 life points, Xie Feng only needs approximately 25 seconds, which means that normally it would have taken him just over 2 minutes to kill 5 Guardian Ghosts.

But since he must also focus on running, dodging, attacking, concentrating to know the exact moment the bulls would use its active skill. All this made the battle extremely frigid.

'Fortunately today is Saturday and I don't have to worry about college', rejoiced Xie Feng.

Also, after so much concentration, Xie Feng's mind began to wear out. Although it is very light, he can clearly feel it.

Xie Feng sat down on the floor and took a 5 minute break while eating an apple he had previously bought at the food shop.

[Apple: A tasty and juicy red apple. Effect: Eating reduces hunger by 10 points.]

After 5 minutes, Xie Feng stood up and walked to the door. However, this door was different from the doors he had seen before. This door was black, just like the previous ones. However, in the center of the huge black door was carved the head of a fierce bull.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Feng put his right hand on the door and applied force to it.

The door slowly opened.

He entered with cautious steps and, as he expected, the door closed immediately.

[Ding!... Dungeon range SSS; second stage; level 1.]

Xie Feng looked at the center of the room. There, a larger magic circle was illuminated. Not only did the size of the magic circle increase, but the color changed from black to violet.

Just a few seconds later, a single monster appeared.

This monster was a bull, just like the monsters that Xie Feng had previously defeated. However, this bull was almost 5 meters tall and had a sword in its right hand.

The bull snorted and two columns of smoke shot out of its nostrils as it looked at Xie Feng.

Xie Feng immediately used 'inspect' the monster and, perhaps because the level of him and the bull were the same, he was able to get all the information without fail.

[Abyssal Ghost: BOSS]

[Level: 10]

[Grade: Lord]

[HP: 15000]

(Skills):

[Blessing of the Fallen Angel (Passive): Increases movement speed by 40 points.]

[Charge (Active): Runs in a straight line for 10 meters. While the skill is active it increases the movement speed by 40 points. Use rate: Normal]

[Whirlwind (Active): Standing on the spot, without moving, turns the sword at a terrifying speed. Cause 400 points of physical damage to all targets within range. After use it falls under dizziness condition for 7 seconds. Use rate: Low.]

Looking at the statistics and skills of the new monster, Xie Feng's face that previously had lost its casual look, now became serious for the first time since he entered the world of Samsara Online.
