With a sweaty forehead, Kyle gazed at the duo who was looking at him eagerly before looking at the end of the hall.
There were at least one hundred multi-colored square-shaped tiles present on the ground and Kyle was standing above a white color tile. Each tile was big enough to hold a single person.
After the last tiles, he could see some large doors.
“Kyle, you are standing ahead everyone that’s why you should move first I will jump at the tile you are standing!”
Jian said with an innocent expression while looking at Kyle. He had already wrapped his injured arm with a cloth.
Alec gave Jian a knowing glance and nodded in agreement. After Jian jumped at Kyle’s tile, he would jump at the place where Jian was standing. It was better to make a single person suffer instead of all of them dying tragically.
For some reason, Alec and Jian both were one hundred percent sure even if Kyle walked casually he would leave the hall unscathed.
With wide eyes, Kyle looked at Jian and Alec. They were hell-bent on making him a meat shield!
It was the first time, Kyle suffered such a huge blow. He was always the one using others how did the situation reverse?
Kyle wanted to curse at the duo but then he took a deep breath and shouted.
“If I die I will not die alone!”
With a serious expression, Kyle turned around and looked at the tiles in front of him.
He could see the tiles had, Red, blue, green, white, and black colors.
Kyle looked at the tiles and jumped at a blue color tile.
His hands were sweaty as he hurriedly glanced at the ceiling to see if any trap was activated but even after five seconds nothing happened.
“Sigh.”
Kyle wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed with relief. He looked back and saw Jian had already jumped at the tile he was standing on a while ago.
Alec also stepped on the tile where Jian was standing a while ago.
“I think you should choose white color next because nothing happened when you were standing on the white tile before.”
Jian said and urged Kyle to move again.
A vein bulges on Kyle’s forehead. He wanted to throw a punch at Jian’s face and break some of his teeth but controlled himself.
‘I with surely take revenge!’
With narrowed eyes, Kyle gave Jian a deathly glance and turned around because if he looked at his face any longer he would probably do something unimaginable.
Kyle gazed at the tiles. Jian asked him to select the white tile. He wanted to pick the black one but after pondering about what Jian said he decided to step on the white one.
Under Jian and Alec’s gaze, he stepped on the white tile.
Tremble…
Kyle’s feet shook and his eyes almost popped out from his sockets. The huge dwarf statue present on the left row actually moved!
The statue was so fast that Kyle wasn’t able to react on time. Under his horrid gaze, the statue stepped forward and the huge hammer within his hand dropped on the tiles.
The hammer touched the ground with a loud bang and the tiles cracked. A loud tremor shook the whole hall.
Kyle looked at the huge hammer and his heart skipped a beat. His legs went soft.
The hammer just dropped a few meters away from him. If he was standing a few meters on the left he would have probably become meat paste!
Even Alec and Jian were rooted in their place. They didn’t even dare to imagine what would have happened if they were the ones who were in the front!
Bia’s eyes also widened. She immediately started flying not even daring to go near the statues.
Meanwhile, outside the tunnel, Kyle and the others entered.
Yon the guardian of the 9th floor was laughing nonstop while looking at Kyle’s expression.
When he saw how Kyle was causally roaming around the hall he almost went down to check on the traps, thinking maybe something was wrong with the hall.
He only calmed down when Jian stepped inside the hall and a trap was activated!
“If only he stepped on the black tile…”
Yon exclaimed and shook his head. If Kyle had stepped on the black or red tile the hammer probably wouldn’t have dropped so far away from him.
On the other hand, after seeing the dropped hammer. Kyle gazed at the other statues and didn’t dare to move recklessly.
He turned around to look at Jian.
“How about we change positions?”
Jian blinked his eyes and hurriedly took a step back. He knew among the trio he was probably the least fortunate one because of his experience on the first few floors. If he was in Kyle’s place he would have already met his grandma in heavens.
“I think it’s better if you continue to take the lead.”
He said with a motherly smile and hurriedly turned to look at another place.
Kyle looked at Jian and wanted to cry.
“I am not moving!”
With a loud shout, Kyle actually didn’t move and stood at his place. Even if he had to stay on this tile for a month, it was hundreds of times better than becoming meat paste!
Alec sighed and jumped at the tile where Jian was standing. He grabbed Jian’s shoulder to not fall out from the tile.
The tile was only able to accommodate a single person so it was very difficult for two people to squeeze on a single tile.
He was going to step on Kyle’s tile but then suddenly Kyle turned around to look at the duo.
Both Jian and Alec flinched when they saw a mysterious smile present on Kyle’s face.
“Actually I forget something important so I think I will be taking my leave first. We will meet again if both of you survive.”
Kyle spoke with an apologetic face. The face was very similar to the time when he stole the red-haired woman’s book and left Alec and Jian behind to suffer instead of him.
Jian and Alec looked at each other in confusion. They didn’t understand the meaning of Kyle’s words. All three of them were trapped inside the hall because the exit was closed.
“What do you mean…”
Jian wasn’t able to complete his sentence because, under his shocked eyes, Kyle’s figure disappeared.
“The hell!”
He cursed loudly and looked at the place where Kyle was standing a while ago. It was empty and Kyle was nowhere to be seen.
