Chapter 102 Tough Fight

Three hours later,

Kyle was panting heavily as he looked at the hundreds of skeletons charging at him with a dizzy expression. He was extremely tired and his hand holding the sword was numb. He felt if the skeletons continued to pour inside the pit, he would collapse in a few minutes.

He gazed to his left, Alec's condition didn't look great either. With rough breathing, he pushed another skeleton back.

Jian who was behind Kyle and Alec was barely standing while grabbing his knees. There wasn't even an ounce of mana left inside his body.

The situation was getting dire, Kyle gritted his teeth when he looked at the skeletons.

He slashed at the skeleton's chest and his hand trembled, almost losing the grip on the sword.

The skeleton in front of him took advantage of this. It opened its mouth wide and threw out a lava ball at Kyle.

Kyle's eyes were on the attack, he wanted to move away but his body wasn't listening to him. He moved his arm for defense and the lava ball directly crashed on his wrist.

"Ughh.."

The burning sensation was very painful as the lava burned his upper skin completely.

Alec looked at Kyle who was injured. With gritted teeth, he pushed the skeleton in front of him away before shouting at Kyle.

"Hu.. ha be careful."

Kyle gazed at the skeletons in front of him. One of them was ready to throw another lava attack.

He moved back a little to avoid the attack range. He took out the last remaining potions from his storage ring and threw two mana recovery potions at Jian who just collapsed on the ground.

"Alec."

Alec gazed at Kyle, his vision was getting a little blurry because a few minutes ago a lot of blue core (+D)-Rank skeletons entered the pit and he used the system double power skill.

Kyle threw an energy potion toward him. With gritted teeth, Alec kicked the skeleton in front of him and caught the potion.

"Tha..nks..."

His voice was barely audible as he gulped down the liquid present inside a small vial. Some of his energy was immediately restored as the potion effect started to kick in.

Both Alec and Jian were grateful toward Kyle because whenever any one of them was on the verge of collapsing, Kyle would take out some mana recovery, energy recovery, and healing potions.

"The..y are the last ones."

Hearing Kyle's words, Alec laughed bitterly. Potions were expensive, he wondered where Kyle got so many. Even he had very few. He could buy more from the system shop but he used all his points on the system double power skill.

Also, Alec could feel that now even the potion effects were dimming because his body was too tired.

Kyle gulped down a healing potion and the burn on his arm started to heal slowly. Now he doesn't have any potions left.

He threw the glass vial at the skeleton head standing in front of him before engaging in combat again. He would thank the old man properly for the potions if he survived today.

Jian also gulped down the mana recovery potions Kyle threw toward him. Slowly but surely his mana started to recover. He had some potions before but he and Kelvin used those potions on the lower floors.

With heavy breathing, he stood up and used his wand to form some earth spikes before throwing them at the skeletons.

It was good the pit entrance was narrow. That's why only 10 or so skeletons could enter inside at a time, or else Jian knew they wouldn't have survived for so long.

Suddenly a tired voice sounded inside Kyle's head.

-'Hu ha.. Kyle, I can't carry on. I drain all my man.a. If I continue another second.. I will faint.'

Bia tried her best to distract the skeleton's attention toward her but the skeletons didn't even budge from the pit entrance. They were hell-bent on entering the pit.

She gazed at the skeletons underneath her there were at least 500+ skeletons and like sea waves more and more skeletons were coming toward the pit entrance.

-'Jus..t what the hell is hap.pening?'

Bia's voice trembled as she gazed at the Volcano top.

Unlike Kyle, she could see the situation outside. Another large batch of skeletons was coming out from the Volcano top, and because of the commotion happening in front of the pit entrance, all the skeletons were heading straight toward the pit without hesitation.

'Go and rest.'

A deep voice sounded inside her head. She looked at the pit entrance that was crowded with skeletons. She wanted to help more but she didn't even have the energy to continue flying as her wings were aching.

With a worried expression, Bia looked at the pit. She could vaguely feel Kyle's condition. He was even more tired than her and maybe within a few minutes, he would probably faint from exhaustion.

Suddenly her body staggered. With a serious expression, she flew toward a large boulder and her small body slumped on the boulder.

She wasn't affected by the heat but because of tiring her mana and body, she was panting profoundly.

...

While all this was happening, a small crack formed in the red sky above the 7th floor. Within a second, the crack turned wider, and a black hole formed within the sky.

A horned figure wearing black clothes stepped out from the black hole.

It was 'Nixen', the guardian of the seventh floor. He was the one who assigned the trial to Alec and the others.

Just like the first three floor guardians, he was allowed to leave his floor, if he saw something out of order. The reason for this was that he never harmed anyone. It is because, unlike others, he rarely felt emotions.

Also, he was too obedient and only had one goal in his mind. To complete the work his master assigned to him.

After seeing Kyle's sudden appearance, Nixen used his authority and left the floor to check out the reason. He would have returned within a few minutes but Susan, the guardian of the first floor, stopped him midway.

Susan asked him to go and visit the Treasure floor because the old man 'Jordan' was feeling lonely after saying goodbye to the new kids.

With a reluctant expression, Nixen agreed to visit Jordan. It took him half a day just to get rid of that extremely slow old man who wouldn't stop saying, how the new kids were interesting this time.

With an annoyed expression, Nixen started floating toward his abode to rest but suddenly he felt something wrong.

He abruptly turned around at looked at one of the Volcanoes with narrowed eyes.

"What's happening?"
