Chapter 114 Yon's Abode

While Alec, Kyle, and Jian entered the tunnel. The guardian of the 9th floor Yon was sitting on a large cloud bed hidden between the clouds.

He saw them entering the tunnel and almost spit out the tea he was drinking.

"They already found my abode?"

He exclaimed with shock and disbelief. When Yon said that he forgot the place where he put the treasures he was lying.

He indeed didn't design this floor because he felt like he was near a breakthrough but he was a (SS)-Rank warrior how could he have such a bad memory?

Even though he was the weakest among the guardians of the Tower, he had a very good memory.

When Kyle and the others arrived on the 9th floor, he was going to design the floor but then he had an idea and asked them to find the treasures.

"I thought they wouldn't be able to find my abode and after a month when they are leaving the Tower I will just give them one treasure each."

"I didn't expect them to find my abode in just a single day!" noVE/1B.1n

Yon exclaimed loudly. The 9th floor was shorter than the first three floors but it was hundreds of kilometers wide! Just how the hell did they find it within a single day?

Yon questioned himself inwardly. His worldview was changing but then he smirked.

"It doesn't matter even if they found my abode. There are thousands of rooms and traps present inside. There's no way they will be able to find the room where I placed the treasures."

With a laugh, Yon waved his hand and a large transparent screen appeared in front of him.

Inside the screen, three figures could be seen. The figures were Kyle, Alec, and Jian. After pushing the rock, they were going underground with caution.

Yon gazed at the figures with interest-filled eyes. He wanted to see just how far they could travel inside his abode.

...

At the same time, After Kyle and the others stepped inside the tunnel, the large rock that was previously rolled back moved and closed the tunnel entrance.

Jian widened his eyes and he hurriedly tried to move the rock but it didn't even budge from its place.

"Damn! We can't go outside now!"

Alec also tried to push the rock but after a while, he also gave up.

"Now that we can't go back let's continue moving downward through the stairs."

Alec said and both Jian and Kyle nodded. It's not like they had any other choice.

With caution, they moved and after walking on the narrow stairs for about 5 minutes they reached the end of the stairs.

Jian was the first to leave the narrow tunnel. He became a little shocked when he came out of the tunnel.

Alec and Kyle also showed shocked expressions. In front of them was a huge hall that spanned around a hundred meters.

The ground of the hall was devoid of any dust and was sparkling with various multi-colored tiles. A lot of different statues were present around each side of the hall.

Bia started flying around the hall while looking at the statues with curiosity.

Among the trio, Kyle was the first to step inside the hall. He casually moved a few steps and gazed at the statues.

There were a total of 15 statues belonging to different races. Three statues showed figures similar to demi-humans, three elves, three dwarfs and three statues showed human figures.

When Kyle looked at the last three statues, he frowned because it was a race he hadn't seen before.

Their bodies were exactly shaped like humans. They had pointy ears just like the elves' race, similar horns and tails like the demi-humans but their pointy nails were large enough to be mistaken as a weapon.

The three statues' faces were twisted with a sinister smile. For some reason, when Kyle looked at the strange statues he felt uncomfortable because they were giving off a dark and eerie feeling.

After gazing at the three strange statues for a while he moved a few steps and looked at the elves' statues. One of the elves' statues showed a woman figure. She was tall and beautiful. On top of her head was a beautiful crown.

Kyle gazed at that woman's face and felt like she was one of the most beautiful women he had seen in his life. While Kyle was looking around, Jian also stepped inside the hall but the moment his feet touched one of the tiles, his hair stood up and a chill down his spine.

Within a second from the hall ceiling, an arrow shot out directly aiming for Jian's head. He cried with surprise and tried to avoid the arrow but even though he reacted immediately the arrow grazed his left arm.

"Ah..."

Both Alec and Kyle looked at Jian with surprise. Their eyes widened when they saw his bleeding arm.

"What happened?"

With a worried shout, Alec was going to step inside the hall but Jian hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't move! There are traps underneath the tiles of the hall."

Alec froze in his place and looked at Jian's feet. The red tile present underneath his feet was caved in a few centimeters. It seemed the moment Jian stepped on the tile, the trap was activated.

After seeing the situation, Kyle who was walking around the hall casually froze in his place. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

'Shit! I almost perished'

Jian took out a piece of cloth from his storage ring and cleaned his wound.

"Fortunately, I reacted immediately that's why the wound isn't deep."

He didn't have any healing potions and he knew Alec and Kyle also used up theirs when they were fighting with the skeletons. So, getting injured inside this place was very dangerous.

With a dry laugh, Jian gazed at Kyle who was standing a few meters ahead of him.

"Now what should we do?"

Jian sighed and questioned.

"Well, we can just hope we don't step on the traps."

Alec said and used the system appraisal function on the hall ground but it didn't show any information.

He was standing outside the hall and Jian was standing on the first tile. Kyle was the only one who stood a little further from the starting point.

'I think we need a meat shield.'

With a similar thought, both Alec and Jian gazed at each other with understanding before looking at Kyle with sparkling eyes.

At the same time, Kyle felt a shiver run down his spine when he saw their gaze.

'Why do I feel like I am in big trouble?'

Bia who was flying around the hall looked at Kyle's sweaty forehead and laughed. She hurriedly sat on top of a nearby statue while looking at the trio who were staring at each other.
