The monster growled at him angrily and pounced forward once again, but Kyle didn’t move from his spot. The monster’s bloody eyes turned even redder with the shere amount of frustration and anger he was feeling just by staring at Kyle’s face.
It roared and decided to just finish everything in a single move! In an instant heavy pressure seeped out from its body. The monster wanted to blast the whole stage except the place where it was standing!
On the other hand, Kyle merely raised his hand nonchalantly and snapped his fingers. A deadly feeling enveloped the monster and its jumping body froze mid-way. The monster felt the dread that crept inside its heart. It cried out and struggled to move its body but nothing worked.
Bia’s eyes turned crescent and she immediately landed on Kyle’s shoulder with a huff.
-‘Could have informed me about the plan.’
Kyle chuckled.
“I forget.”
-‘What are you waiting for? Just finish it.’
Kyle eyed the large furry thing. He used the type of Array symbols that could make his enemy immobile for a few minutes. Also, the time was thin that’s why he didn’t have time to draw any offensive symbols.
“Um… We need to kill it.”
Bia almost tripped on his shoulder. She was truly speechless. Why the hell did he do such a grand show when they had to kill this thing themselves?
Still, a strange twinkle flashed through her eyes. It was evident the monster’s death wouldn’t be peaceful at all. Bia stretched her legs will a groan and started flying again.
-‘I am feeling hungry, let’s cut it up and cook fresh meat.’
She crackled out an evil laugh. Kyle’s eyes widened at her words. No, it was not because he found them cruel!
“Why didn’t I think of this idea? I bought all the cooking material with me and you can light the fire!”
The monster who had been struggling for the past few seconds freaked out when it saw the two pairs of sparkling eyes. This was truly the first time it felt scared! Those two tiny creatures’ eyes shone in a glint that made his legs tremble!
A few pained muffled cries echoed in the space and after half an hour, Kyle and Bia were enjoying their first meal in the secret realm.
It was truly delicious. The aura of cooked meat drifted in the air. Also, who could have guessed they would taste the meat of an (S)-Rank beast! Moreover, after such a bloody fight the meat taste became even more savouring!
However, Bia felt that it could have been even more delicious if it was not cooked by Kyle. He truly lacks cooking skills. Not to mention the fact that he brunt a few pieces in the process. Bia’s eyes ranked at Kyle’s face. He seemed unaware of this fact that’s why she carefully hid it inside her heart to not make him angry. After all, he was the person who was going to feed her in the future.
-‘I should not damage my future.’
She nodded and silently ate her portion.
After they were done eating, they waited but the mechanical voice never returned. Still, Kyle didn’t dare to sleep because the previous incident where he almost ended up in a furry stomach was not pleasant at all.
Kyle heaved out a tired sigh. He wasn’t sure how much time passed as he lifted his eyes to become astonished again.
“Huh!?”
He blinked with a loud gasp and Bia who had been snuggling in his hair immediately jolted.
-‘What happened! I swear I was not sleeping!’
She stopped mid-way because the scenery around them had changed again. The stage had vanished into thin air and now the duo was sitting on a smooth red carpet drawn out in a large hall.
A row of tall pillars circularly surrounded the hall, those pillars extended upward to hold the dome-shaped ceiling. The hall looked old and bright but the duo could not spot even a single firetourch or bright burning stone around the hall.
Bia eyed the hall with a deep expression.
-‘So, we are going to change locations so abruptly every time.’
Kyle hummed and stood up. He patted his clothes. Of course, they were clean. He had changed into a new pair of hoodie and pants after the bloody fight.
His gaze wandered around the hall and he finally noticed the tiny square-shaped door at the end of the hall. It was hidden under the shadows of the pillars and if not for Kyle’s heightened sight he would have never noticed the door.
Kyle squinted his eyes.
“That’s it? Do we just need to enter the door?”
He was skeptical and hesitant, but still proceeded to walk toward the gate. However, he stopped even before he took the first step.
Bia poked out her head from his hair.
-‘What happened?’
“Bia start flying. I don’t think we should walk on this pretty red carpet.”
Bia only replied with an ‘Oh’ and immediately flapped her wings to fly. She secretly clicked her tongue. He could just teleport whenever he wanted. How convenient!
Kyle watched her for a few seconds as she flew toward the gate at a normal pace. Then he gazed at the door and calculated the distance in his mind. He took a deep breath and instantly teleported from his location. In the next second, he appeared in the middle of the hall. However, he didn’t stop and immediately used the teleportation skill again.
In the next second, he arrived in front of the door but Kyle’s body froze, he lifted his hand to trace his cheek and felt a wet sensation. His eyes widened when he saw blood on his fingers.
“What happened!?”
Kyle didn’t sense anything. He just felt a sharp prickling pain.
-‘Look behind you!’
“Huh?”
Kyle turned around and sucked a deep breath. Hundreds of sharp thin crimson arrows were embedded on the surface of the red smooth carpet at the exact place where he stopped for half a second. Some of the arrows even burned the carpet surface. It seemed they were poisonous.
He didn’t dare to imagine what would have happened if he actually walked on the carpet.
Kyle ignored the crimson arrows and gazed at the door with a sigh.
“It’s good that this type of trap can not harm someone like me.”
