Chapter 8 - CHAPTER 8 : ONTO THE NEXT CHALLENGE

" First let's check what's in the chest " Kelvin said pushing the lid off the chest.

Suddenly a bright light emits out as balls of floating orbs entered their bodies, refining itself, empowering them and increasing their rank by one.

"Woah that's a huge power up " Kelvin said flexing his muscles as he did some stretching.

" Wait there are more things inside the chest " Silvia said picking up a staff on basic tier three star,a long sword on the same level,a mage's spell book,a grade one tracking relic and fifty thousand aethrium coins.

" Woah that's a lot of money " Silvia said picking up some of them.

" Let's keep them in a safe place " Kelvin said as he put all the money in his dimensional pack. " You had a relic all this time ?! " Silvia asked as she screamed hitting him on his head .

" I'm sorry I didn't know you were going to need to keep something ? " Kelvin said pleading with her as he tried blocking the slaps from her but it was futile as all connected.

" Ahhhhh... now Onto The Next Challenge " He said streaching his arms with a grin on his face as he climbed down the stairs

Two Hours Later

" Ahhhhh..... finally we are off the stairs " Kelvin said as he jumped down the stairs of the first floor overjoyed.

" Kel wait what if there is something bad waiting at the other side " She asked grabbing his arm instinctively.

< CONGRATS ON SURVIVING >

The female robotic voice said once again.

" Ahhhhh..... could you please give us a heads-up before sending us to our death! " Silvia screamed at the A.I voice for the unexpected trial.

" Why is everywhere suddenly hot ? " Silvia said sweating.

" Ummm... Sil we have a problem, a big hot problem " Kelvin said tapping her on the shoulder.

" What the.... "She said awestruck as she saw the hellish landscape before them.

" Uhhhh how are we going to get through that ? " She said nervously

" Pheww it's a good thing you stopped me from rushing in " Kelvin said with a nervous smile

" Wait.. did you carry the stuff my relic is full ? "Kelvin asked Silvia

" Yeah I did but how are we gonna pass ? "Silvia asked.

" Hmmm if the challenge is similar to that of the first floor then I'm guessing there's gonna be an invisible bridge we're going to have cross to get to the other side " Kelvin answered.

" And if we we're not careful we're going to fall into that pit filled with monsters and lava.. Great just great " Silvia said.

"Okay let's see " Silvia said as she threw out a a blast of snow which showed them a path but quickly melted.

" Hmm it seems like your magic can't last long enough for us to go all the way to the other side so we're going to have to move one at a time " Kelvin told her.

" Yeah let's do it I'll lead since I'm the one giving out the path " Silvia said.

" Yeah let's go " Kelvin answered.

So the two continued carefully as Silvia made out the path and Kelvin blocking out the heat with his qi soon enough they reached the middle of the path but something was wrong now.

" Um I don't know why but I think the path splits up into two " Silvia as the two came to a halt

" How are we gonna go ahead if we don't know which path to choose ? "Silvia asked

" Hmmm let me focus my qi around the area " Kelvin said as he focused his qi and using his Aurora to make out where to go.

" Got it it's the one on the left, the one on the right is gonna lead us to a cave filled with Lava blocks " Kelvin said after a few minutes.

" Okay let's go " Silvia said as they continued the left path for the next two hours until they finally reached the end

" Thank goodness we made it " Kelvin said as he touched the chest at the end which moved them out of the room.
