Chapter 84 The fifth floor trial
While Kyle was roaming around the desert, trying his best to find someone or something. The others who appeared on the fifth floor were standing on a sand mountain.
For some reason, everyone was gathered together.
The people standing on the mountain were a mixture of humans, elves and demi-humans.
Among the small crowd, Alec, Mia, Lara and Carcel could also be seen standing together in a group.
Even Nine, Kelvin and Jian were present on the mountain.
All of them were looking at a floating figure of a man present in front of them. The floating man was the one who bought everyone here.
The floating man was wearing white clothes. He had long white hair and white pupils.
He also had two small horns on top of his head and a long tail, indicating his identity as a demi-human.
Everyone standing on the mountain was curiously staring at the floating man who was calculating something with his fingers.
After a while the man finally stopped calculating and gazed at the people present beneath on the mountain.
He slowly mumbled under his breath with a hoarse voice.
"I think I brought everyone who cleared the fourth floor."
The man's voice was low but because the atmosphere was quiet, everyone was able to hear him.
After thinking for a while, the floating man took a deep breath and started speaking loudly.
"I Casian welcome all those who cleared the fourth floor. Right now you are standing on my territory and to advance toward the next floor you have to clear a trial."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I won't say much as I don't like beating around the bush. To clear this floor, you only need to protect a sand castle for 2 weeks. Also, a team of 5 individuals will be assigned to protect a single castle. In these two weeks different waves of monsters with attack everyone's castle."
"After two weeks, all those who are successful in protecting their castle from the monster's waves will advance toward the next floor with rewards while those who failed to protect their castle would die. Even if they survive I will just throw them on the first floor."
"That's it. Now you can choose your team members, remember one team can only have 5 members. Hurry up, so I can start the trial."
After Casian stopped speaking, everyone looked at each other. There was fear, anxiety and excitement in their eyes.
Soon, small teams of 5 started forming within the crowds.
Alec, Carcel, Lara, Mia and Nine formed a team as they were familiar with each other.
Kelvin and Jian also teamed up with three other humans.
The elves and demi-humans also formed their own teams.
After everyone was done forming groups of 5, Casian who was floating in the sky waved his hand and a lot of small sand Castle appeared out of thin air.
All the castles were too far from each other.
Everyone looked at each other and after Casian gestured them to go toward the castles, they all hurriedly choose a castle to protect and left.
Looking at the fading image of the small humans, elves and demi-humans, Casian expressionless face finally showed a creepy smile.
"Finally after 20 years, a new batch of people arrived on this floor. It's going to be fun hehe."
He looked toward the clouds with a delighted expression.
"I think I should hide behind the clouds and enjoy the show."
After pondering for a while, Casian approached the clouds. He formed a chair out of thin air and placed it between the clouds.
The chair was made of sand. It was large and luxurious like a throne.
With a smirk, Casian sat on the chair and looked at the feeble and weak bugs he found in the past whole week.
On the other hand, all the teams choose a castle and immediately entered inside.
Now the only thing they needed to do was to protect the castle and survive for the next two weeks.
Alec and his team also choose a castle. After they entered, Nine finally spoke with a worried tone.
"I didn't see Kyle among the ones who were able to reach the fifth floor."
He was worried. Kyle was definitely stronger than him the last time Nine saw him, so why was he not here?
Lara who just heard Nine words frowned.
"He defeated me during the selection process but failed to climb until the fifth floor?"
Alec and Carcel also heard Nine and express their worries.
They all knew the fourth-floor maze was too hard, it took everyone a whole month just to find the exit of that dam maze.
Maybe Kyle wasn't able to find the exit of the maze?
Also, it's not like they can do anything for Kyle. They can only hope for Kyle to stay safe on the lower floors.
Nine sighed and also wished for Kyle to stay safe. He was sure he would be fine as Kyle was stronger than him.
Afterward, everyone stopped thinking about Kyle. They gathered together and started forming a good plan against the upcoming monster's waves.
In another Castle, Kelvin was looking at Jian who was frowning nonstop.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKelvin sighed.
"Just speak if you want to say something."
Jian looked at Kelvin and spoke with confusion.
"Where's Kyle? Did he not leave the floor after us."
Hearing Jian Kelvin shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know. Maybe he choose to stay there for a while. Also, don't worry about him, with the amount of luck he displayed in front of us do you think something will happen to him?"
Kelvin's words made Jian laugh.
"Hahaha, Of course, he will be fine."
...
Meanwhile, at a place that was too far away from the sand castles.
A place where only a large desert and some sand tornadoes could be seen.
A person who was almost half sunk inside the sand was trying his best to find a way out of the desert.
When he moved, the sand would also move with his every step like water waves.
On top of that person's head, a bird whose wings were filled with sand was sitting tiredly.
Of course, they were Kyle and Bia!
He looked at the vast desert and almost had the urge to beat up the person who made this place.
With squinted eyes, he tried his best to see far and wide but in the end saw nothing.
Kyle had enough food and water inside his storage ring to last for a few months, so he wasn't worried about it.
Still, the desert harsh environment was very hard to bear.
"I wonder how the others are doing?"
