I can expand my MAGIC ENDLESSLY?!-Chapter 47: The Unknown being

Crack~

Bones cracked apart the moment Kairos swung his swords.

Before his sword couldn’t plunge through the shield anymore.

He retreated, taking multiple steps back, unlike the goblins, who didn’t move. The skeletons reacted instantly, moving forward and holding their shields.

Kairos leaned. Instantly, a hint of purple overlapped the swords. It was the nullification sigil.

Two sets of agility sigils flickered on his legs. His muscles bulge as mana rushes through his veins.

Whoosh~

Instantly he crossed the distance, thrusting his swords forward.

Swing x2

The skeletons tried to block it with the field. But alas, unlike before, the sword passes through the shields instantly.

Crack crack~

Two of the skeletons collapsed almost instantly. But that wasn’t all of them. Kairos spun on his foot, dodging the incoming attacks.

The nodes in his hands flared to life as Kairos spun, his swords sweeping out in a wider arc.

[First Sword].

Instantly, a barrage of slashes shot toward them.

Instantly, the skeletons cracked apart one by one, their bones flying into the air, only to be cut down again by his sword.

Drop. Drop. Drop.

The shattered bones fell one after another, piling onto the ground.

Kairos stepped aside, looking at the pile of bones.

"That was something, at least."

[Trial Completed, 80 credit points given. Proceed to the next floor?]

Seeing the number 80, a satisfied smile spread across his face.

Just like that, he had earned...how much was it again?

It didn’t matter.

Earning money by killing monsters was what he had always been good at as a mercenary. After so long, he was finally tasting it again.

He crouched down for a moment before standing up, stretching his body.

’Next would be the fifth floor,’ he uttered, pondering.

He remembered reading it while skimming through the rule book. In the Jelfs Tower, the difficulty spiked sharply every five floors.

Because of that, even after all these years, only a handful of people had ever reached the 300th floor.

They weren’t just students,these were the very pinnacle of the continent’s power. The Emperors, the Kings.

That was just how difficult the tower truly was. For cadets, even clearing the 80th floor was considered a feat worthy of praise.

Done with the stretching, feeling his body.

"Proceeded with the Next Trail"

His surroundings began to distort. Kairos’s eyes narrowed, ready to react the instant it moved.

"What?" he uttered.

The thing he was expecting didn’t happen. The surroundings were still getting distorted. But what was in front terrified him more.

Before him stood a colossal black figure. It didn’t have a mouth but had hollow eyes staring at him.

It was also several times taller than him. Fear crept within his heart as he gazed at those eyes.

He instantly felt a bad premonition seeing this, he instinctively stepped back.

Before a voice echoed.

"Come, meet me on the 20th floor. Arcon of Infinity"

It was calm. Flat. Kairos couldn’t even tell if it was male or female.

"Wh..." Words failed to come out of his mouth.

The figure didn’t speak further. Slowly the hollow eyes closed. Before the figure itself vanished

The surroundings distorted again, this time settling in, transforming into a large open field with tall grass swaying beneath the open sky.

Something moved in his vision. Kairos, still processing what had just happened, glanced around.

Multiple skeletons with shields and spears, alongside two huge green trolls and a few smaller creatures, goblins numbering at least two dozen, rushed straight toward him.

Kairos’s eyes dilated, ready to fight, but flashes of the black figure he had just seen erupted in his mind.

He couldn’t concentrate. Kairos stopped, lowering his sword. The manic smiles of the goblins and the enormous clubs of the trolls descended upon him.

He shouted, "Stop! Get me out of here!"

Instantly, everything froze around him. Slowly, the surroundings crumbled, like sand carried by the wind.

The chattering of students and others shuddered faintly before he found himself standing in front of the Jelfs Tower.

Kairos glanced at the others, momentarily frozen, before the hollow eyes resurfaced within his mind once again.

Making him flinch, he quickly hurried his steps.

His back was already drenched in sweat. Now that he was out of it, everything crashed down on him.

"What was that?"

"A monster?"

"No....Are monsters really like that? Perhaps a demon?"

"But what was the original host? Or was it supposed to be that big?"

The more he thought, the more fear crept over his heart. He tried to calm himself, but it wasn’t working.

He had seen enough in his life to make a grown man throw up and tremble in fear. But what happened today? He couldn’t help but flinch involuntarily.

He felt as if he had been stripped bare of body, soul, and everything the moment those eyes fell upon him.

Even the things he didn’t know he had seemed exposed. That’s what it felt like.

A being that couldn’t be described or compared to anything. Its body was like nothing Kairos had ever seen.

It was transparent, shifting like gas, barely holding its own form.

"Arcon of Infinity," he murmured, settling onto the bench set beside the stone pathway.

"Was it... talking about me? The 20th floor..." His eyes gradually narrowed. His hands and legs still felt cold, but slowly, he began to calm down.

He glanced at the Jelfs Tower, his expression stiffening further, a chill reaching to his very bones.

The Jelfs Tower wasn’t just a wonder left behind by the founder of magic. It held something far more mysterious.

And on his very first day, he had already caught a taste of those mysteries. He didn’t know what it was or if it could even be considered alive.

Yet his whole body, his intuition, his beating heart, and his mind all screamed the same truth.

"Whatever that is...it’s far more terrifying than the Four Calamities themselves." He was certain of it it.
