" Where are we " Silvia said as her head was still dizzy.
" I think we're on the first floor of this ruin " Kelvin said excited awaiting the first challenge.
" Aw man don't tell me it's a dungeon type "
Immediately after she finished her sentence the doors shut.
" Must you point out the obvious ? " Kelvin asked sarcastically.
< WELCOME TO THE FIRST FLOOR OF THIS EXERCISE IF YOU SURVIVED THE BEASTS CONGRATS YOU JUST ENSURED YOUR DEATH TICKET >
A robotic monotone voice said
" You see now we're going to die " Silvia said panicking.
"Ummmmmmmmmm hiiiiiii mysterious voice I know it's kinda obvious but can you please tell us our challenge " Kelvin said as he casually walked around the empty 10 by 10 meter room .
All of a sudden the room shifts and the floor starts engulfing them
" Ohhhhhh great now we're going to die in quick sand " She said ironically as she panicks more.
" Will you stop whining I'm trying to think " He said annoyed at her bickering.
" Whining ! I'm not whining, I should have just listened to you and gone the other way but noooo I just had to be a little scaredy cat and follow you now I'll never get to complete my dream " Silvia shouted as she was clearly panicking.
" But if you did go the other way how would you have dealt with a situation like this or maybe something worse " Kelvin shouted back.
"If they use magic to create a bridge it should be enough to move across the quick sand ?" He said internally as he pondered about what to do.
" Hey Sil "
" Whaaaaaat? " Silvia asked annoyed.
" Can you make a bridge of ice so we can run across? " Kelvin said as he made a gesture of ice skating
" It's not as easy as you think....first of all ice skating is way harder than you think, secondly it takes time and Mana both we don't have on our side " She answered solemnly.
" Why, don't we have time on our hands? "
He asked as he then realized that they were already almost swallowed and only their heads remained intact.
"What the hell" He said scared at the same time confused .
" Silvia hold me tight and whatever you do don't resist "
Kelvin said grabbing her by the waist and putting in all his QI into his legs blasting out
" So my theory was right " He said whilst in the air.
" What theory ?!! " She said as she tried to stop her dress from blowing upward and revealing her underwear.
" It seems like the beast is repellant to Qi that means as long as I keep my qi active then I can use the beast as a platform to get out of the place although I don't really have a lot of qi to begin with so I have to make it quick " He concluded as he activated his qi again and bounced off the monster's quick sand and made a leap towards a nearby platform.
Looking ahead he saw that there were a few platforms that he could use to get to the other side the problem was he didn't know which ones were stable and which ones were not.
" Guess I just have make a wing for it " Kelvin said as he made a leap towards another platform.
" Pheww guess this one's stable " he said as he jumped towards the next which immediately broke off the wall falling the two
Ahhhhh !!!! Silvia screamed as the two fell off the platform.
Hold on ! As he activated his qi again and bounced off the monster again towards another platform.
" That was a close one "he said as he let out a big sigh.
After a few more jumps with some of them falling and him having to use his qi they had finally reached the last one.
" Guess this one's the last platform " he said as jumped towards it only for it to fall
Hold on
I'll just activate my qi again and we're free he said internally wait why are we still falling ??!! he said panicking
Um Kelvin I hope you still have qi remaining ??!! Silvia said worriedly
Uh I don't have any !! Kelvin said with a nervous shrug.
" What!! Doesn't that mean we're going to fall in and die " Silvia looked at him scared.
" I can't charge my qi quick enough you'll have to use your magic " Kelvin told her as they fell back into the monster's quick sand.
" But I don't have that much left and that monster's just gonna suck my remaining amount " Silvia said panicking.
" Just do it long enough for my qi to charge to make one last jump " Kelvin told her assuredly.
" Okay ! " She said as she activated her mana letting out ice particles to lift them up but no matter how hard the monster just kept sucking it.
" Urggh I can't hold out much longer !!! " Silvia screamed worriedly.
" Hmmmph !!! " He grunted as he made one final leap towards the last one and finally jumped to the other side of the room.
" Hu hu hu " he huffed as he still held on to Silvia.
" That was a wild ride we almost died ! " Silvia said as she hugged Kelvin tightly which she quickly realized and let go of him.
" Hehe " He chuckled softly as he laughed at her cute behaviour
" Let's take a break and let our energy fill up and then we move on " Kelvin told Silvia
" Yeah that's fine " she said as she finally laid down and let out a big sigh of relief
" I'm guessing the next floor's gonna be a little harder " Kelvin said as looked at the steps leading to the next floor.
