Chapter 194: Is That What I Think It Is?

The group soon got to the end of the pathway, and just as expected, there was a door. But compared to the one they saw on the previous path, this one was huge.

“Wow, it’s like a door to a huge castle.” Klaus said in awe.

The door was surprisingly made of gold, and it lit up the moment the fire the group was using came close to it. It was so bright that everyone in the group instinctively closed their eyes, it was only after about five seconds went by did the light slowly disappeared.

“What was that?” Reynolds asked looking around.

“I don’t know, but whatever is in there must be something great.” Klaus jumped happily and approached the golden door.

“Stop!” Grey exclaimed on seeing that Klaus was heading towards the door.

“What?” Klaus asked with a confused face.

“Have the thought of obtaining a good treasure dulled your brain?” Grey facepalmed while shaking his head disappointedly.

“What?” Klaus asked still confused.

“There’s always a risk before obtaining any rewards here, especially something that might be very good.” Alice explained.

Although she hadn’t been as lucky as Grey who managed to get to a lot of fortunate places, she has had her fair share of adventures in the trial land, so she knew about this.

“Oh that, I forgot.” Klaus scratched his head awkwardly.

‘How embarrassing.’ He thought to himself while shaking his head in discontent.

Grey created an earthen staff, and sent it towards the door, he wanted to check if there might be anything on the golden door that might be harmful against them.

Bam!

The staff crashed into the door, but nothing happened.

Grey didn’t head over immediately, he waited for over a minute before approaching it. When he got there, he held onto both parts of the door while standing in the middle, and pushed it forcefully.

But it unexpectedly didn’t budge.

“That’s strange.” Grey muttered under his breath.

“Join me.” He called on Klaus and Reynolds to assist him in opening the door.

The trio tried pushing the door, but it didn’t budge, after trying multiple times, they started attacking it.

‘Sometimes I really don’t know which is smarter, and which is dumber.’ Alice almost facepalmed while looking at the trio who were tiring themselves out trying to open the door.

Void on the other hand was staring at the trio with a playful smile on his lips. After staring at them for a while, he threw a glance at the writings on the side of the door.

Alice caught sight of Void staring at the writing on the door.

“You discovered it as well?” She asked a little surprised.

Void nodded after realizing what she meant, he didn’t think she would have also seen it.

‘Looks like the only girl in the group is the more intelligent one.’ He thought to himself.

“Tsk, to think even a cat is smarter than them.” Alice said while looking at the trio in contempt.

They had been trying different methods, but none seems to work, even after five minutes, nine of them had seen the writing on the side of the door.

“Is it just me or do they become dumber when they group up.” Alice mumbled.

The trio was currently panting while staring at the door with frustration.

“Why won’t it open?” Reynolds asked angrily.

“Because you three are blockheads, that’s why.” Alice said with a playful smile.

Although they looked stupid, watching them tire themselves out was quite entertaining.

“What?” Klaus asked.

“Look over there.” Alice pointed at the writings on the side of the door.

“Huh! There’s something there!” Reynolds exclaimed before heading over.

Grey and Klaus followed behind him as well.

“Was this here before? I could’ve sworn I didn’t see it here.” Klaus said, placing his hand on his chin.

“Me too.” Grey nodded.

“Seriously? You’re still trying to cover up for your lack of observation?” Alice asked, not expecting Grey and Klaus they say that.

“There truly wasn’t anything there before we tried opening it, maybe it appeared after we tried pushing it.” Grey said.

Although he might be careless sometimes, he truly did look around, and this text wasn’t there previously, it must have appeared after they started pushing it or something.

Alice didn’t look around at first and only saw caught a glimpse of the text after the trio started pushing the door, so she didn’t know if Grey was speaking the truth or not.

“Hmm, fine, let’s ask Void.” She suggested.

“Void, did you see the text before they started pushing the door?” She asked.

Void looked at Grey, smirked, before nodding his little head.

‘Bastard! No food for you!’ Grey said angrily.

Seeing Void’s smirk, he knew Void was lying, which meant that the text appeared after they’ve started pushing the door, yet Void nodded just so Alice would yell at them.

Void’s pupils shrunk when he heard Grey say no food for him and he immediately shook his head.

Alice was about to reprimand the boys when she suddenly saw Void shaking his head, “I’m confused, did you see it or not?”

She was forced to ask again, and this time, Void shook his head.

He witnessed the text appearing, and it was after Grey, Klaus, and Reynolds started pushing the door did it appear.

‘Hmph! You’re lucky.’ Grey snorted and threw a glare at Void.

Void shivered at the thought of not having to eat Grey’s dishes, he was already going through hell since the group reunited. That was because Grey hadn’t been able to cook anything since they were in a hurry to leave this place.

“The text says only a Fire Elementalist could open the door, no wonder it had such a reaction when the flames came close to it.” Klaus said thoughtfully.

Alice was the one whose flame was floating, so she sent it towards the door, making sure to make it as powerful as she could.

Rumble!

The door rumbled intensely, but it refused to open up.

“The strength of my flame is not enough, Grey, you do it.” Alice said and withdrew her flame from the door.

Grey stepped forward, and with a flick of his wrist, his blue flames came to life, it turned into a large snake and shot straight into the door fiercely.

Rumble!

The door rumbled for some time before making a ‘crack!’ sound. After that, it slowly opened up.

Creak…

“Use your flames and you decided to perform a show.” Klaus mocked as the door opened wide.

After the door opened up, the inside lit up and the shadow of a large creature could be seen from the light.

‘Void, is that what I think it is?’
