On the other hand, after stepping inside the portal Kyle appeared within a vast plain. He looked far and wide but saw nothing except empty land.
With a frown, Kyle looked at the brown book he 'borrowed' from the red-haired woman.
"Demons."
Kyle mumbled. It was the first time he heard this term. He flipped the book pages. It was filled with information regarding the strange race called 'demons'.
After flipping a few pages, Kyle lost interest and threw the book inside his storage ring. The dark race called 'demons' was never seen in 'Blue Planet'. So, there wasn't any reason to read the book.
"It's seemed all the books floating around the white room were normal history books regarding different races."
With a sigh, Kyle was going to look around when two familiar individuals came out from the golden portal present behind him.
Kyle looked back, only to see Jian and Alec glaring at him with a dark expression. With a dry laugh, he took a step back because just a few minutes ago he had ditched them!
Bia who was sitting above Kyle's head immediately started flying while looking at Kyle with pity.
Alec and Jian looked at each other with understanding. They were going to beat this rascal who dared to leave them behind after stealing!
With a nod, both of them rushed at Kyle with their fists but alas Kyle wasn't destined to get beaten up because before their fists could touch Kyle their bodies froze.
With wide eyes, they looked at Kyle who was also confused because he was able to move his body.
Suddenly a thunderous roar resounded within the empty land.
"Kids nowadays are always fighting! I was just a few minutes late and you two were ganging up on an innocent-looking child!"
Kyle looked back. A short-stature black-haired man was floating in the sky. Unlike the other floor guardians who wore robes, the man was wearing a brown jacket with matching pants.
"A dwarf?"
Kyle mumbled under his breath. He could see the man's ears were slightly pointy.
In an instant, the floating man landed beside Kyle and patted his back.
"Kid, are you alright? I saw the other two kids were beating you."
Kyle almost coughed out blood because the light pat given by the dwarf rocked his internal organs.
On the other hand, Alec and Jian who were frozen like statues were on the verge of crying.
They didn't even touch Kyle's hair but got punished! Was this even fair?
Kyle hurriedly stepped back so the dwarf wouldn't pat his back again.
"They are my friends. We were just exchanging some moves because we didn't see anyone in this desolate place."
The dwarf looked at Kyle and frowned. He didn't expect Kyle to be such a good person who got bullied but is still speaking for the others.
'If he didn't want to punish them then I can't do anything.'
With a sigh, the dwarf flicked his middle figure and Alec and Jian were finally able to move their bodies.
Bia came back toward Kyle with a disappointed expression. She wanted to see him get beaten up but she almost forgot about his godly luck!
-'Tsk.'
The dwarf looked at the trio and spoke with a harmonious tone while giving Alec and Jian a narrowed gaze.
"Hello, kids. My name is 'Yonaik' You can call me 'Yon'. Right now I am assigned to this floor."
Yon calculated something with his hands and raised his brow.
"It seems I am given the last floor this time?"
He mumbled under his breath before looking at the trio.
"Kids. There's no trial on this floor because for you it's the last floor."
Kyle and the others listened to Yon attentively. All of them showed a surprised expression when they heard 'for you it's the last floor'. They gazed at each other with interest.
Does it mean there are more floors after the 9th floor?
Yon chuckled when he saw the kid's reaction.
"Hoho! Quite intelligent aren't you? But don't use too many brain cells because there's no point thinking about something you can never know."
"Well, where was I? Yes, there is no trial on this floor but there's just a tiny miny problem."
Yon's voice turned low as he gazed at the trio with an apologetic smile.
Alec looked at Yon and immediately questioned.
"What problem."
With an embarrassed expression, Yon cleared his throat.
"Actually I was busy because I suddenly felt like I am near a breakthrough that's why I forgot to design this floor."
The trio looked at Yon with a blank expression. So that's why the floor was so desolate.
'You call this a tiny problem?'
"Hoho! Now don't give me those strange looks. Even though the floor isn't designed there are a lot of treasures inside this floor!"
Yon spoke and clapped his hand to gather their attention. Kyle, Alec, and Jian's ears perked up when they heard the word 'treasures'. They immediately forgive Yon for not designing this floor.
With a deep breath, Yon looked at the trio seriously who were waiting for him to continue, but Yon threw another bomb at them.
"It's just I forget where I put those treasures."
Kyle looked at Yon with narrowed eyes. He wanted to shout 'How can you forget about such an important thing!' but controlled himself because Yon was more powerful than him.
Yon saw the kid's expression and sighed.
"Don't worry kids! I permit you to look around for those treasures. There is still a month before the six-month time ends and the Tower throws you all out."
He paused for a while and showed a reluctant expression.
"If you found the place where I stored the treasures. All three of you can choose any one thing from it!"
With a frown, Kyle looked at Yon. He didn't like the fact that he could only choose a single treasure after finding a treasure trove.
"Why do we work so hard just for a single treasure? You need to increase the offer a little."
Alec and Jian looked at Kyle and nodded. They were happy with one but it was better if they got more.
Yon narrowed his eyes at Kyle's words.
'Was not this kid the same who was getting beaten up a while ago? Where the hell did he suddenly get so much courage?'
With a beep breath. Yon showed Kyle two fingers.
"Okay! I will give you two treasures each! Take the offer or I will throw you all at the first floor."
Kyle and the others immediately nodded their head.
"Okay, kids. I am leaving now but I will keep an eye on you. We will meet again after you find the treasures."
With a smile, Yon turned around and started floating.
With a glint, Kyle gazed at Yon's figure. With an innocent expression, he mumbled loudly so everyone could hear.
"Including Bia, we are four individuals. That means he will give us a total of 8 treasures. It's not a bad deal."
Yon who was floating almost tripped in his flight when he heard Kyle. How the hell did he forget to consider such a big loophole?
While floating, he turned around and gazed at Kyle. He also saw the little bird sitting on top of Kyle's head.
'I thought you were an innocent lamb who was being bullied but turned out you are a wolf in sheep's clothing!'
With a deep breath, Yon disappeared into the clouds. There was no way he would go back in his words. It's just he felt like he was tricked.
After Yon disappeared, Alec and Jian gazed at Kyle with dumbfounded expressions.
Kyle looked at them and shrugged his shoulder.
"Let's move. We only have one month."
Bia who was sitting on top of Kyle's head gazed at Alec and Jian with pitiful expression.
-'Sigh, these guys will surely suffer one or two heart attacks if they stay with Kyle any longer.'
