Chapter 95 A Trespasser  

While sitting in a hole underground, Kyle could hear loud sounds of ongoing battle but after a few minutes suddenly everything turned quiet.

With a serious expression, he questioned Bia through their connection.

'How's the situation outside.'

A few meters away from the battle, Bia was sitting on top of a tree branch. She looked at the snakes and Apes with narrowed eyes before narrating everything to Kyle.

-'One of the three Apes died under the snake ice ball. On the other hand, one of the snakes got seriously injured. Right now the remaining two Apes are staring at the snakes. It seemed they are going to retreat soon because both parties have suffered heavy casualties.'

A few minutes later, the snakes and Apes finally left the area. The snakes were angry and wanted to find the person who stole their eggs but in the end, they reluctantly left due to the Apes.

After knowing that the snakes and Apes had left the vicinity, Kyle finally released his held breath.

He didn't expect the snakes to be so powerful!

Yesterday according to the map he arrived in front of a golden cross mark. After taking the treasure, Kyle was going to leave but then he saw a small hole present on a nearby tree truck.

After spotting the hole, he and Bia both entered the tree hole but there was nothing inside the hole except narrow tunnels and strange-looking blue vines.

It took them a whole day just to find the end of the tunnels where a large black room was present. The room was dark with only a single nest made of an enormous pile of leaves in the middle.

Kyle approached the nest and saw a lot of blue eggs. There were a total of 5 eggs, the eggs were emitting a cold chilling aura.

After seeing the fist-sized eggs Kyle's eyes lit up. Monster's eggs were sought after as anyone can make a bond with the monster before they are hatched.

Kyle wanted to store the eggs in his storage ring but because they were living things he wasn't able to.

While he was picking up the eggs, suddenly Bia sensed two dangerous auras advancing toward them at full speed.

In the end, Kyle just grabbed two eggs and immediately started running toward the way he entered.

"Sigh."

With a long sigh, Kyle slowly crawled out from the narrow pit that saved his life from the snakes.

After coming out, he hurriedly dusted his clothes. Seeing himself dirty and sweaty, Kyle started walking toward a nearby water source.

In the past few days, he memorized all the directions where he could find water. Also, even though the first floor was one of the largest, its whole structure was almost the same.

While walking Kyle looked at Bia who was flying beside him. His expression was dead serious.

"Bia, let's not enter strange tree holes anymore." The last time he saw a hole present on a tree trunk a large Scorpio chased him around the whole floor and now the snakes! That's why Kyle took a mental note to run away whenever he saw another hole present on a tree trunk.

Or else who knows if he would even survive the next time he was chased around by another 'Boss Monsters'.

-'It's not like it was me who was curious and wanted to check what was inside the tree hole?'

Bia's sarcastic voice sounded inside Kyle's head who just walked toward the nearest water source without speaking any further.

After Kyle and Bia left.

A floating white-haired old man looked at the broken trees and the dead Ape body.

He was wearing a silver robe filled with ancient symbols. The old man's blue eyes were emitting an extremely cold aura as he looked down at the place where Kyle had been standing a moment ago.

Even though his face was expressionless, his left eyelid couldn't help but twitch uncontrollably.

"This brat! I thought he would finally suffer some setbacks after angering the snake couple but he survived due to a pit?"

After observing Kyle for the past week, the old man was seriously having a lot of doubts about the life he had lived until now.

How the heck a person can survive from two (+C)-Rank monsters just because of a pit?

Kyle was just roaming around and within a week he found three secret places on the first floor.

The old man knew Kyle was using an 'old scroll' but finding the treasures and taking them in the presence of 'Boss Monsters' were two different things.

Also, even if Kyle took everything from this floor. The old man would just replace the empty spots with even greater treasures.

It's because the Tower was here to help the younger generation as much as possible but to get a reward they have to face danger. After all, nothing in this world is free.

"Also, why does he have that 'ugly thing' present within his body."

The old man frowned slightly sensing a very dirty thing present within Kyle's body but then his face turned expressionless again.

He was the oldest guardian of the Tower but even with his hundred years of experience, it was the first time he saw something so sinister leaching on someone's soul.

He wanted to remove 'the thing' from Kyle's body but it was within his heart and only the person who placed it can remove it without harming Kyle.

"I can't remove that thing or else the kid will die."

With a sigh, the old man opened a portal and entered. He was going to ask his 'master' as to what to do with the kid.

The thing present inside Kyle's body should not have been present on this planet as it belonged to a realm where powerful beings resided.

After entering the portal, the old man arrived at a rather plain-looking room.

The room was completely white with a single chair and a table present in the middle. The old man could also see an empty bookshelf in a corner and piles of ancient books lying around on the ground.

Within the white room, a man who seemed to be in his mid-thirties was standing in front of the bookshelf. He was continuously flipping the pages of an old-looking book. The man was wearing a golden robe. His hair was completely pitch black and his eyes were grey. There wasn't a single emotion within the man's deep grey eyes.

Also, the man figure was illusionary, like a dimly lit candle that would extinguish if someone blew on it.

The black-haired man looked at the old man who just arrived through a portal.

"I know why you are here Susan. I can also sense the 'thing' present within the kid's body."

The old man whose name was Susan sighed and looked at the black-haired man.

"Master are you not going to do anything? Someone who should not be here had trespassed on this planet."

"He is also using a kid's body as a container."

The black-haired man closed the book he was reading.

"Even if I want to I can't as I am just a small remnant, my original self left behind."

"The moment I left this room, I will disappear."

The old man looked at the black-haired man and sighed before his face turned cold.

"Should I kill the kid?"

The black-haired man shook his head with a chuckle.

"I know if we killed the kid 'the thing' within his body would be destroyed and it would cause immense damage to the one who put 'the thing' inside the kid."

"But Susan it seemed you only noticed 'that thing' within the kid's body."

Susan raised his brow at the black-haired man's words.

The black-haired man suddenly waved his hand and a large screen appeared in front of him.

On the screen, both the black-haired man and Susan could see a young kid and a red bird roaming around inside a forest.

"Look closely at how nature is embracing his body like he is one with nature."

With a frown, Susan looked at Kyle but still didn't see anything but then suddenly his eyes widened as he saw the small blue crystal particles within Kyle's body.

"Blood?"

With a smile, the black-haired man closed the screen before picking up a book from the ground.

"It's seemed even the one who put that vile 'thing' within the kid's body is unaware of the fact that the blood flowing within the kid's veins is special."

With a pause, the black-haired man's voice became serious.

"Susan, only once in a billion years a person is born who is blessed to become a Celestial. A being who is even above me. That's why don't even try to harm him."

With a serious expression, Susan hurriedly nodded his head. After seeing the black-haired man reading a book, Susan opened a portal and was going to leave when the black-haired man suddenly spoke again.

"Send the kid to the upper floor. He failed the sixth-floor test as he hadn't completely awakened his true potential."

"Let's see how much longer he can survive against the thing leaching on his soul."

With a nod, Susan entered the portal. Leaving behind the black-haired youth who become grossed in reading.
