Chapter 270 (F-)-Rank is too little
The voice was monotone devoid of any emotions, Kyle looked around the room with a dumbfounded look. Who was talking? However, even after ranking his eyes everywhere, he didn't see anything except white walls.
He gazed at Bia. She wanted to attack a nearby wall with a fireball, but the moment she formed a fireball it dissipated in the air with a sizzling sound. Her round eyes narrowed at the wall.
-'I think the voice doesn't belong to a living person. Instead, it's more like a recording or a mechanical voice.'
Kyle's expression was grim. At first, he was worried about the sudden voice but after listening to the voice his worries changed instantly.
"Don't you think the automatic evaluation is a little too much? Me, (F-)-Rank human? It should give me a higher rank..."
Bia almost lost her balance and stared at Kyle with a speechless expression.
There was silence for a few seconds before the voice sounded again.
"Participants please do your best to reach the end. The entrance test will commence in a minute..."
"59... 58...56...."
Kyle summoned his sword from the mind space. He wasn't sure what he would face after the countdown reached zero. Still, he felt excited, a little thrilled as well. The voice said this was a treasure land. That means if he passed all the tests he would get the treasures!
He stretched his body and did some push-ups as the countdown echoed in the enclosed white room.
Soon, the countdown reached zero and under the duo's eyes, a wooden door appeared in the white room.
Kyle eyed the ordinary-looking door. He didn't even think twice and pushed the door open. As he stepped in the door, an area surrounded by big, dense trees appeared in his vision.
Bia's flying figure appeared behind him after a second. The moment she left the door, it vanished.
Kyle gazed at her and even before he could say something, she flapped her wings and flew upward to see what was behind those trees. A vast expense of greenery reflected in her eyes.
-'It's too blurry I can't see anything beyond the trees.'
Kyle hummed and gave her a nod. In the next second, his ears twitched when he heard a faint rustle behind him. The rustling sound increased with each passing second but when he turned around he found nothing.
At that moment, the mechanical voice sounded again.
"Loading.. The entrance test will begin now. Please kill 1000 monsters each to clear this test."
"The monsters' rank is adjusted according to the participants' strength..... After passing the test you will be eligible to fight for the 'Vials of Divine essence'."
Kyle's eyes widened when he heard the name 'divine'. He thought about the divine rank and immediately searched his memory to find something similar but his knowledge was still lacking.
Amidst all this he knew this 'divine essence' was something extraordinary!
'I have to get it no matter what!'
After the mechanical voice stopped, a group of two-headed trolls stepped out from the trees. They were ugly, with large eyes and noses.
Kyle grabbed his sword tightly. He was ready to fight but his enthusiasm plummeted when he sensed the trolls' ranks. He blinked and watched the trolls who slowly staggered toward him.
"They are only (F-)-Rank...."
Suddenly, Bia's cry sounded in his mind and Kyle snapped his head to look up. She was surrounded by a group of flying monsters and those monsters were stronger than the ones he was supposed to fight.
Kyle's face showed a complicated expression, he was stronger but his opponents were so weak. On the other hand, Bia was fighting a group of (C+)-Rank monsters!
He casually waved his hand. A burst of blue flames enveloped the trolls but Kyle didn't even glance at them and shouted at Bia.
"Bia come down. I don't like these ugly trolls let me fight with the other monsters."
Bia was more than willing to change opponents, she dived downward and appeared beside Kyle.
-'Don't worry I will take care of the trolls.'
Bia flapped her wings and bright golden flames appeared in her surroundings. However, her flames seemed weaker in comparison to the cold blue flames that lingered around Kyle's body in a protective manner.
The air was filled with blazing blue and golden flames, showcasing a mesmerizing sight. Moreover, Kyle was astonished at the fact that his flame didn't harm the golden flames. Nor did the bone-chilling coldness seeping out from his flames affect Bia's body.
He sighed and focused on the fight. One monster died after another. Amidst all this, their numbers never decreased. It was like the monsters were forming from thin air, just like an illusion.
At first, the battle was one-sided because Kyle's mana stat was too high even greater than Bia, a divine beast. Still, unlike the (F-)-Rank trolls, the (C+)-Rank flying monsters were powerful. He didn't even notice how the mana within his body vanished.
Kyle panted heavily as he killed the 600th monster. He clicked his tongue in irritation, after all, even though he could fight without mana his body couldn't cope with it any longer.
He looked at Bia with a tired expression.
"Hey, I want to rest for a minute. Stopped them for a while."
Bia hummed, unlike Kyle her condition was quite good. Mainly because she didn't have to do much to kill the (F-)-Rank trolls. Also, the trolls were slow that's why her kill count was lower than Kyle's.
-'Just for a minute.'
After giving him a nod, she flapped her wings and started flying to distract the flying monsters.
Kyle gazed at the trolls who were still pouring out from the tree and climbed one of the trees to rest for a minute.
The entrance test was truly tiring. It was good the mechanical voice wasn't able to calculate his true strength or else he would have never passed this test.
Kyle's body started aching after he crossed the 800-kill mark. He was so tired that he wanted to sleep between the monsters' but he persevered and did his best to complete the goal.
