Chapter 128 - The Guardian of the 2nd Floor (1/2)

After the retreat of the Grey Horned Wolves, Shad along with his men took the opportunity to rush to the entrance of the of the second floor. Even though the Grey Horned Wolves have run with their tails between their legs, the stench of blood from the bloody battle had already attracted the attention of many magical beasts that were in the vicinity. As such, Shad didn't dare to stay there any longer.

Unlike the entrance of the first floor which was a huge magic circle, the entrance of the second floor was a huge gray door that stood erect in the middle of the forest. It was very large and over fifty meters tall. The grey door gave off a similar aura to that of the entrance of the Tower itself but less powerful.

” Is that entrance of the second floor.” Asked Shad with a puzzled expression on his face.

” Of course it is, just pushed it open so we can enter. Once we enter the second floor, the other magical beasts won't be able to follow us there.” Quickly answered Little Blue.

According to Little Blue, The magical beasts in the lower floor could never enter the higher floor unless they met a certain criteria or pass through some tests. As for what kind of tests, Little Blue refused to divulge that kind of information even after Shad had promised more lightning energy.

Without wasting any time, Shad pushed the huge door open. As soon as he did, not to mention the others, even Shad himself was dumbfounded. When he opened the huge gray door, what appeared before him was not the other part of the forest but was an extremely desolate desert world. That was not all, while it was almost night time within the first floor they were currently in, the sun was shining brightly in the desolate desert world of the second floor. From the other side, Shad and his men could even see as the wild wind blasted the yellow sand everywhere, causing the entire world to seem blurry. The heat waves there caused even the air itself to distort as well.

” Let's go inside quick.” While Shad and the others were still immersed in the view that was in front of them, Little Blue's voice rang out from their ears. Apart from Little Blue, It was the first time that Shad along with all his men had ventured within Tower.

After hearing Little Blue's voice, Shad didn't waste any more time thinking as he immediately passed through the door as well, followed by the others.

Within the second floor, The scorching waves of the sun caused the air itself to distort. Shad along with his men felt as though they were currently in standing the middle of a volcano.

” Little Blue, quickly take us to the entrance of the third floor. I am afraid this heat will kill us before the magical beasts even had the chance to do so.” It was truly hot on the second floor and Shad along with the others were already sweating like pigs. Shad wanted to take a little break after that last battle as the girls and some of the imperial soldiers were injured, but the environment of the second floor made it impossible to do so. As such, he was forced to proceed to the third floor.

” Follow me. Hey kid, you must be careful, the second floor is not the same as the first floor. It's way more difficult. Unlike the first floor where one could see the magical beasts in front of you, all the beasts in the second floor are sand beasts and they are hiding underneath the sand. One wrong step and you could become sand beasts' lunch.” Said the Little Blue with a slight smile on her face. Even though this place was filled with danger everywhere, Little Blue seemed as though she was enjoying it.

Aside from Shad, everyone was secretly surprised when they heard that. Some of them even couldn't help but unconsciously looked down their feet to see whether they were stepping on a sand beast or not.
