Chapter 276  The golden droplet

Kyle closed his eyes to rest in the middle of the door. After he recovered all of his mana he grabbed Bia and stood up with a serious expression.

"Fly and enter the bright portal at the end of the room."

Bia grumbled but agreed. She flapped her wings and started flying. However, the moment she passed the first half of the room, the stone statue's eyes flashed with a bright light.

The statue started floating and an arrow appeared in its hand, it grabbed the bow and aimed the arrow at Bia with a sharp glint.

All this happened within a few seconds, the statue's movements were fluid and fast, and before Bia could react the arrow shot out with deadly precision. However, at the same time, blue flames erupted from below and enveloped the arrow completely.

A low cracking sound echoed in the silent room and under Bia's shocked gaze, the arrow crumbled into tiny sparks.

Kyle heaved out a sigh. That was a close call. He dashed toward the floating statue and shouted.

"Bia enter the portal. You know I can leave any time I want!"

Bia snapped her eyes and hurriedly dived toward the portal. The statue wanted to follow behind her but blue flames appeared in its path.

Kyle gasped as he saw how the statue evaded the flames with a lightning-fast speed and arrived in front of him. A large spear appeared in his vision and his instinct kicked in.

Without even thinking twice he teleported beside the table. On the other hand, the spear in the statue's hand penetrated deep into the ground with a loud bang.

The statue left the spear and snapped its head back to look at Kyle with glowing eyes.

Kyle cursed under his breath. However, even in such a situation, one could see his wriggling fingers nearing the table.

"The fuck is this thing?..."

His sentence was cut short because instead of taking out the spear the statue nocked another arrow in the bow and shot it toward Kyle.

Kyle grimaced. In an instant, blue flames emerged from thin air and enclosed his body. After the arrow reached the flames it crumbled into dust.

The statue staggered and rushed to the place where Kyle was standing, only to see nothing. It froze momentarily because even the table had disappeared into thin air.

On the other hand, Kyle rubbed his left hand as he appeared in another location. He suffered a jolt of sharp pain the moment he touched the table but instead of retreating, he forcefully tossed the whole table in his mind space. At least, the treasures were secure.

He looked at Bia's figure. She was flying inches away from the portal. He shouted with frustration.

"Enter! Or else I am leaving you behind!"

The statue turned around to attack Kyle again but just like wind Kyle vanished again.

An evil laughter echoed in the room as he appeared in front of the portal.

"I told you I will take them all!"

Kyle mocked the mechanical voice. He didn't even look back and grabbed the stubborn bird who was still flying in front of the portal and jumped inside.

At the same time, the statue exploded with a burst of strength and tried to catch his figure but it was too late.

In the end, the statue's eyes dimmed and it staggered toward the same place where it was standing a minute ago.

After Kyle vanished within the portal an amused voice echoed in the air. It was very similar to the mechanical voice but one could sense emotions within the voice.

"Why do I feel like I have been cheated on?"

A thin transparent pure white body of energy formed in the room. A pair of large white wings adorned its round back.

"I think the statue has weakened or else how can a weak child bypass an (SS-)-Rank stone statue? Should I dismantle it?"

The body moved its hand to swat the statue but stopped midway.

"Wait this place is empty. The treasures are already gone. So, I don't think I need to increase the difficulty."

With a nod, it decided to follow the silver-haired kid silently. After all, its duty here was done.

In the next second, the bright light around the body vanished, illustrating a large white boar with white wings.

Just like Bia, the winged boar was a legendary beast with (SSS)-Rank talent. However, the beast has reached the end of his potential a long time ago.

In the end, instead of going with his master who stepped in the path of immortality, the boar decided to stay in this place because he knew he would only be a hindrance to his master. After all, he could not increase his strength even after consuming a lot of divine essence.

He had seen many individuals who arrived in this treasure land to fight for the divine essence but it was the first time he saw someone getting it so easily.

The boar smiled. The kid was indeed fun. Instead of staying in this boring castle, it was better to follow the silver-haired boy.

His size decreased and the boar turned into a small ball of fur before jumping into the portal behind Kyle. As for the 'last' treasure land. There was no need for him to stay in this place because the traps were intact and if someone stepped inside the castle they would activate by themselves.

He felt a little bad for those who would pass so many tests in this treasure land only to get nothing in return but it's not like he asked them to enter this place.

Meanwhile, after jumping inside the portal Kyle arrived outside the castle. He took a deep breath and released Bia from his grip.

Bia looked at him silently as Kyle hummed and patted her head with a smile.

"I want to see the usage of those golden drops of liquid. How about a drink?"

Bia felt a bad premonition when Kyle patted her head with an impure smile. She gave him a deadpan expression.

-'You want to test the treasure on me?'

Kyle's smile stiffened. He was really bad at coaxing others.

"No.. let's drink one each."

Bia nodded.

-'Good.'

With a sigh, Kyle looked inside his mind space. The wooden table was placed in a corner. He summoned the table outside but didn't touch it.

"The last time I touched it I felt a very painful jolt in my hand."

He took a deep breath and slowly touched the table. However, he didn't feel any pain. Kyle smirked and picked up two vials before tossing the whole table in his mind space.

Kyle sat down outside the castle gate. He placed one vial in front of Bia and decided to consume the other.

On the other hand, the fur ball that followed them outside had a mini heart attack when he saw how easily Kyle opened the vial and tossed the golden droplet in his mouth.

The boar didn't even think twice and barked out loudly.

"Nooo! How can you consume the divine essence without reaching the end of your talent or any preparation? Your body will explode!"

Still, he was a tad bit late because before he shouted, Kyle had already gulped down the droplet.
