Chapter 246 DO NOT UNLOCK THIS CHAPTER!!!

The more Kai walked into the tunnel, the more frequent the golems appeared. The distance between each golem also started shortening until it reached a point where they were basically coming in groups of two.

However, even that didn't stop Kai as he was able to easily overpower them and move forward. Their strength was simply far below him to even pose a threat. In fact, Kai could easily beat a hundred of them even if they appeared at the same time.

'Kaya should be fine, these golems aren't hard to kill. Unless she's facing something else.' He thought to himself with a sigh.

Kai couldn't stop himself from worrying about her and Aria since both of them perhaps were facing a completely different test then this one.

As the path continued, Kai finally found himself at what seemed to be the end of the tunnel. In front of him was a metal gate that looked similar to the one he left the cell from. However, this one was closed rather than open.

'Hmm?' Touching the door, it didn't feel cold to his hand at all. Well, considering the fact that this place is rather comfortably warm, he didn't find it odd that the door won't be cold to the touch. With that in mind, he pushed the door open which happened to work rather easily.

On the other side, Kai found himself in a big chamber with walls made out of stone. The first thing Kai noticed on these walls were the fact that they were filled with countless small holes the size of a coin.

Kai stared at them silently for a second. He could feel that these holes weren't there for show. However, he didn't immediately move and instead stared at the other end of the room which was at least 100 meters away.

"Hmm…" With a thoughtful look, Kai moved his hand to his pocket before he pulled out a small coin. After that with a focused look, he flipped the coin in the direction of the other end of the room. The small coin flew in the air swiftly. However, the moment it reached the first set of holes, everything shifted.

The hole suddenly shone with red light as a loud ringing sound, then, a lazer straight line appeared out of the hole and flew to the other side at the speed of light. The moment it made contact with the coin, it blasted it into small pieces with ease before it continued its way, hitting the other wall.

At the same time, every other hole launched its lasers, turning the whole room into an extremely complicated maze of dangerous red lights.

"..." Kai was rather speechless at how weird this trap was. Laser rooms were things he saw in movies and fiction since nobody used that form of security and yet they were somehow used here which was supposed to be a room thousands of years old.

"Did they have that kind of technology at the time?" Kai wondered to himself before he shrugged and finally started moving closer to the laze. Although he was almost certain that this laser can't really hurt him, he didn't want to try in case it wasn't. The damage that this could deal would be huge.

So, he took a deep breath and crouched down before he passed the first set of lasers with a careful leap which made him land on one of his hands before he used that hand to push himself horizontally, barely passing two others laser beams.

Stopping in his place, he looked around him, searching for his next move. It didn't take long for him to find it and quickly move. His flexibility and strength made it very easy for him to actually avoid the lasers perfectly. However, it still amazed Kai how narrow the passages were and how much precision they needed.

Another person would've already fell into the lazer and perhaps died because of it. If that proved anything, it meant that this was perhaps harder than the first trial of golems which was an easy breeze for Kai.

"Hop!" With a small grunt, Kai landed on his feet, barely avoiding to fall forward. With a few leaps, Kai had reached half way through.

As he was about to move forward, Kai's senses suddenly alerted him as he bent backward, at the perfect instant where a laser moved sneakily from behind him.

"What?" Blinking, Kai quickly moved again jumping in the air as two more holes moved beneath him.

'Moving lasers… perfect.' He thought to himself.

The holes on the wall had suddenly started magically moving on their own without any prior warning. The way they moved was chaotic with no clear pattern that Kai could follow which put him in a rather sticky situation as he had to continue dodging and jumping around non-stop without being able to progress any further.

'Their speed is increasing…' Kai clenched his teeth slightly as he channeled his Origin across his whole body which increased his speed. Immediately, he was able to actually change his position and started jumping and dodging forward instead of backward.

At the same time, the lasers seemed to follow along as it tried to hit him as much as possible. Kai was being attacked from all directions, at all times. However, what he noticed and made him quite surprised was the fact each time the lasers closed on him, there was bound to be at least one way out of that position. It was as if the lasers themselves knew how to at least give the target a chance to escape no matter how small that chance is.

'Interesting.' Kai murmured as he quickly dodged another set of holes. This kind of test required extreme skill and nimbleness.

As time passed, Kai made slow progress toward the other side of the room. During which, he didn't get hit by the lasers once. By the time he reached the other side, the lasers had reached enough speed to appear blurry to the eye.

Kai landed on his feet where the lasers couldn't touch him before he looked back silently. As seconds passed, the speed of the lasers kept increasing and increasing and increasing till it basically became impossible to see which is which.

'So it also has a timer… Anything beyond this and it becomes impossible to avoid them.' Kai rubbed his chin thoughtfully before he turned around and headed toward the door that led to the next room.

"Now, what is the next test?"

The third room he found himself in looked rather similar to the previous one in shape and size. However, there were no holes in it which Kai predicted to be the case.

Instead, this room had a set of tiles on the ground that were shining with a bright green color. These tiles were separated into parts, with each part being cut off with a normal stone tiles, forming visible parts that keep changing again and again till the end of the room.

Kai looked at the first set of green tiles with a curious expression before he approached them. Immediately, the tiles change red color instantly.

"Hmm?" Again, Kai pulled out another coin and threw it toward the red tiles. The moment it made contact with one of them, the tile suddenly fell down beneath the ground, carrying along with it the small coin.

Kai carefully looked at the hole left in its place and he could only see endless darkness from it with no bottom pit to be seen. A second later, the tile came back to the surface as if nothing happened. However, there was no trace of the coin itself.

It didn't take him that long to figure out what this test was all about as a few seconds later, the color red on the tiles changed to green again.

"I see…" With that in mind, Kai quickly stepped on the green tiles before he made his way to the other side quickly. He had calculated the seconds between each change which was around 15 seconds, more than enough for him to reach the other side.

'So it also has a timer… Anything beyond this and it becomes impossible to avoid them.' Kai rubbed his chin thoughtfully before he turned around and headed toward the door that led to the next room.

"Now, what is the next test?"
