39 Turtle
But he can't be shocked this time, because the turtle already on his way toward him. He pull out a big shield from system. He blocked this charged.
'strong' the charged was too strong.
Alex was pinned down to the wall. Suddenly he thought something.
Because this turtle become a ball like shaped. He can just let it roll away. but, since the turtle rolling at him, he can only direct it to the wall.
He stuck his shield to the ground and also to the wall. Making it like a slope. The turtle climb on the wall because of it. but because the turtle weight, the shield was broken. He look at the turtle still floating above him.
'Sh*t', he look the turtle was almost to fall. He immediately move away.
'boom' the floor was quaking. The turtle was too heavy, it manage to quake the ground. But thanks to it's charge, the path to the next floor is open.
Alex immediately go to the stairs, and the turtle seeing this, immediately rolling to Alex.
Alex use his fastest speed to run.
'haha, success' Alex manage to get to the stairs, he want to look at the turtle. But he was surprised, the turtle didn't follow him.
"I will kill you next time" He shouted.
'Roar' the turtle roar to Alex. He didn't know turtle language so he didn't bother. He continued to the next floor.
If Alex know turtle language then he must heard this turtle mocking him.
'you can't even put a scratch on me. But you thought about killing me' or something like that.

Of course Alex didn't know, he just continued to 41th floor.
On the 41th floor, he meet many rank 4 monster, starting from a snake, lizard, lion, tiger, to wolf. But all this monsters didn't have that much power like previous turtle, even though they have the same rank.
He continued to 42th floor. There are a party was surrounded by monsters. Alex want to ignored them, since he didn't want to steal kill from them. but,
"Help!" one of the man shout.
Alex observed the party now. The party actually in a desperate fight. He notice one of them already wounded heavily. So he decided to help.
The monsters surrounded them is rank 4 ogre. There are seven ogre in total. While the party only have 5 people around them.
The ogre still didn't notice him, so he stealthily get close to them.
He jumped to the back of the ogre. This ogre look so muscular, but Alex manage to see their neck seems so thin. So he slash it's neck.
The ogre was killed with a single slash. The ogre beside him shocked, he turned to Alex. But Alex didn't let this chance go. He thrust his sword to it's neck. And once again killed them.
The ogre now only 5 left. Their number was even with the adventurer.
Two of the ogres, come to Alex. While three keep the party occupied. The ogres that come to Alex swing their cub angrily.
Alex dodge them completely, but he surprised. He manage to observe the ogres strength. So if he didn't dodge just now, his hand might be broken if he parried it. but the ogre's speed not so fast.
So Alex take advantage of this. He went around them a few time, and he manage to trip one of them. when that ogre fall, Alex immediately pierced it's neck and killed it. now there is only one left, this time he surppressed it with his speed. Alex manage to kill him in a few minutes.
He turned toward the party. That party manage to kill one of the ogre and one heavily injured. Alex turned toward the uninjured ogre and ambush him. He killed the ogre instantly. When the other ogre notice this, he turned to his fallen comrade to look. But the hunter take this chance to kill the last ogre.
Alex sheath his sword, he want to search for the monster core. But suddenly,
"Stop!"
Alex looked at the source of the voice. It is the same person who shouted help.
"This is our prey, are you going to steal our hard earned monster core." He shamelessly said.
"I help you just now" Alex frowned, he coldly said.
"What help, I just shout help to distract the ogres but they didn't even bothered you. Useless. This is our monster. Or are you going to rob them from us, you think you can fight with five of us?" He give a cold gaze to Alex.
Alex just shake his head for this shameless person, he glance at his comrade, but all of them was the same, they just give Alex a murderous glare. he turned away and left, "Hope you can stay alive"
He keep killing rank 4 monsters in this floor. But the monsters was killed brutally. This show Alex's anger. He can only vent his anger to this monsters. Because he was from Earth, He still have a spot to 'killing human' in his heart.
After a few hours venti-, I mean killing monsters, he saw them once again. They was surrounded once again. This time the monsters surrounded them is lion.
"Help!" noticing there are person nearby, one of them shouted.
"..." Alex ignored them.
"Help! Please help us" the guy keep shouting. But this time he saw, the one who pass by just now, was the previous person they cheated, Alex. "You.. you are..."
"I'm not going to rob you from your monsters" Alex said and left.
"No no, this time we really need help. Please help us, we..."
But Alex just ignored them, he turned around and left to the next floor.
"No...NO... HELP" the guy face become pale, when Alex ignored them.
"Young man help us" even the other people in their party can't have but shouted.
But they plead never enter Alex's ear.
From this day forward, there are no more news about this party. Many claimed this people already dead. The people they previously cheated was happy, they even throw private party.
'Serve them right!'
Of course, Alex didn't know about this party stories. He just continue to the lower floor.
He continue to kill rank 4 monsters in the lower floor. Though the rate he kill rank 4 monster was slower than he kill rank 3 monsters, but the rate where gacha ticket drop was higher.
Alex continue his killing until he reach safe zone in 45th floor. He doesn't sleep. Though a higher rank people basically, can go on without sleeping for a few days. But Alex can go on without sleep, If he exhausted, he just need to stop for a while and recharge his energy. This cultivation really a cheat he thought. Especially in this kind of environment, where people can't see the time. Well Alex can though, he still have his watch from Earth.
He is thankful because this world and Earth didn't have time difference. Alex manage to reach 45th floor, after 2 weeks.
"This is 45th floor" Alex search his surrounding. Though this floor is safe, it's only safe from monsters. As long as there are people, that means there is a certain variable. This time, this floor only have a few people. Even in 35th floor, there are still a few tens people.
He didn't want to bother with this people. If there are any conflict it will become much problem, or if they harbor any thought to him.
He sat on a tree want to check his status.

He look at his status, he manage to get 50 levels from killing. But since he didn't get any status from leveling up, his strength only progress very little.
He planned to reach rank 5 within this two week. So sixty three level left to go.
"System, how many ticket I got in dungeon?"
[219 Ticket Host]
"And the accumulation?"
[985 Ticket Host]
"Still one thousand more to upgrade"
[Thank you for your effort Host]
"I will keep the ticket for now. Maybe I can get many benefit for mass using it after the upgrade"
He jumped off from the tree and start to kill again in lower floor.
After a week, killing rank 4 monsters, he become accustomed to killing monster of this rank. So he decided to try at fifties floor. He already have kill a rank 5 monster before, though barely. he decided to go to 50th floor.
The floor boss is a rank 5 snake. This snake was red-colored, the snake body is 2 meter wide, with 15 meter long.
He as usual using his fire sword wave to try the water.
'Flame sword wave'
A flame sword wave, flying toward the snake. But the snake nimbly dodge this and charged toward Alex.
This snake was as fast as Alex, but more importantly this snake was too agile.
