Inside the overseer's wooden hut, Kieran saw Black Hound who had arrived first.
Among the previous trial-goers, Black Hound had Orgeton and Fitz who seemed to be on the same level as Kieran, so he didn't stand out that much.
But after everyone else failed, Black Hound stood out from the rest after he got his hands on a scroll.
It was natural that Black Hound had attracted Kieran's attention.
Under Kieran's attention, Kieran noticed something different.
Black Hound's hiding technique was quite unique, it wouldn't weaken even if the number of people around him decreased.
Kieran even felt like the fewer the number of people around him, the more hidden he was.
If it wasn't for Kieran's slight breathing, he might not have been able to pinpoint Black Hound's location at first glance.
But because of the slight breathing, Kieran frowned.
Because the breathing sounds that Kieran displayed were a little intentional.
Black Hound's breathing was heavier!
There was no doubt about it.
As for why?
"Trying to lower my guard?"
Kieran had no idea how Black Hound got his hands on the scroll but it wasn't an easy task to get his hands on the scroll among the trial-goers who were affected by Final Island.
On top of that, Black Hound wasn't affected by Final Island at all.
That was very important.
The reason why Kieran wasn't affected by Final Island was because of his powerful Spirit attribute.
Schmidt, on the other hand, had a firm will.
Regardless of which one Kieran possessed, Black Hound would be a worthy opponent in the upcoming trials.
Plus, Black Hound was purposely acting.
It made Kieran raise the danger level of Black Hound by a notch.
A wild beast with its claws and fangs was scary.
A venomous snake hiding in the bushes was even scarier.
Kieran kept quiet and maintained a tacit understanding with Black Hound, waiting for Nicil to appear.
It was at that moment that Schmidt finally noticed Black Hound in front of him.
The chief officer frowned for a moment.
Then, he instinctively grabbed his gun handle.
No one would like a dangerous person who could be neglected at any time.
Schmidt was no exception.
So, our chief officer kept his eyes wide open, not letting Black Hound slip away from his sight.
Black Hound didn't show any reaction to Schmidt's glare. It stood still on the spot, maintaining the same posture as when Schmidt and Kieran had entered the place.
He did not conceal himself further, nor did he generously display himself.
Even when Nicil arrived, it was the same.
"Congratulations on passing!"
Nicil walked out with a smile on his face. His aged face had wrinkles because of his smile.
If it weren't for his bright eyes, he would have looked like he was on the verge of death.
At this moment, he seemed to be very excited and happy.
"Well done!"
Nicil said to Kieran.
Kieran raised his eyebrows.
However, before Kieran could ask any questions, Nicil continued on his own, "Now, all of you will have to go through the next trial. It is also the most crucial one!"
"Let's go, I'll bring all of you to the examiner of the last trial!"
As he spoke, Nicil took out a diamond-shaped crystal from his pocket.
Before Kieran and the others had the chance to speak, the diamond-shaped crystal in Nicil's hand shone brightly.
All of a sudden, the light that filled the whole room made Kieran feel his body lightened.
With the experience of entering a dungeon world, Kieran instinctively raised his hand to block the light in front of his eyes.
He squinted his eyes, trying to see what was happening outside through the gaps of his fingers.
However, under the blinding light, he could only faintly make out some dense, overlapping mystical words.
When he tried to confirm this mysterious knowledge, he felt a sharp pain in his eyes.
Kieran knew that even though he squinted his eyes and peered through the gaps of his fingers, he did not really weaken the light. His eyes were still being stung by the light.
If he didn't want his eyes to suffer any physical damage, he would have to close his eyes.
He had to choose between his eyes and mystical knowledge.
Or in other words, Kieran knew what he had to do when he had to choose between his main mission and mystical knowledge.
Without further hesitation, Kieran closed his eyes.
Around 3 to 5 seconds later.
Nicil's voice entered Kieran's ears.
"It's done."
Kieran opened his eyes and saw Schmidt beside him with bloodshot eyes.
"Damn it!
I thought I was going blind! "
Schmidt kept rubbing his eyes, trying to relieve the discomfort in his eyes.
Without a doubt, the inexperienced Schmidt was ambushed.
Black Hound on the other side, although his face was covered by a mask and hood, Kieran picked up a faint herbal smell.
"He's prepared?
It seems like he knows some inside information about the Sanctuary!
Is he colluding with someone?
Or is it the intel he got from probing? "
Kieran looked at Black Hound with a surprised gaze. He then turned his attention elsewhere and started to size up his surroundings.
Kieran wasn't interested in the battle between the Sanctuary and the faction or faction behind the trial-goers.
Although there must be great benefits involved.
Judging from both sides' performance, it seemed like they were well-prepared.
Kieran's appearance must have been part of it.
What would happen to him if he didn't know what was good for him and got involved?
Even though his strength had been upgraded, Kieran wasn't arrogant enough to think that he could go against the Sanctuary alone.
Although Black Hound didn't reveal his true strength, it was a fact that he was on par with Dark Star, Night Demon, Unicorn, White Deer and Polaris.
More so, the leader of the Sanctuary alone was enough to make Kieran vigilant.
After all, Kieran had witnessed the strength of the leaders of Night Demon and Dark Star.
Whether it was Morenderk or Serdenk.
Kieran knew that he was still weaker than both of them.
Not to mention the leader of the Sanctuary who was stronger than both of them.
How weak could the person behind the scenes who targeted the entire Sanctuary be?
Of course, that wasn't the most important point.
It wasn't Kieran's style to give up without trying.
The reason why he had given up so quickly was because of Schmidt's sudden appearance in the trial.
Schmidt's honesty was an invitation from Boller.
Kieran had always been doubtful about this.
In simple words, Kieran didn't believe that Boller would invite Schmidt without an ulterior motive.
As it turned out, Kieran's guesses were correct.
If Kieran had been able to convince himself that it was an accident before, after discovering some of the trial-goers' secrets, Kieran wouldn't believe that the Sanctuary didn't have ulterior motives.
Maybe it was just a friendly reminder.
Or maybe it was just to restrain him.
Regardless of which it was, Kieran knew what he had to do.
At least …
While Schmidt was still around, Kieran knew what he had to do.
That was why Kieran was very cooperative.
He looked at the stone decorations and the huge building space before him, knowing that he had left Final Island.
"Long distance teleportation?!"
Kieran didn't hide his astonishment.
It was the first time he had such an experience in so many dungeon worlds.
Schmidt was even more curious than before.
If it wasn't for Nicil beside him, the chief officer would have turned the place upside down to find out why he suddenly appeared there.
Dak Dak Dak!
The heavy and powerful footsteps attracted the attention of Kieran and the others who were waiting for him.
A buff figure was walking towards them from afar.
The figure was shining brightly.
