Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 552  Don't worry about him

After exiting the tomb through the same golden gate they entered, the group began to float and swiftly headed north, following Wesley. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Nox flew over Yue and glanced at the terrain below. After some time, the desolate land started to transform into greenery with scattered small trees. Kyle, who was at the rear, paused momentarily when he detected a strong scent of blood and dark energy emanating from their destination. He narrowed his eyes as he could also sense Bia... his bonded beast, in that same direction.

"What's the phoenix doing there? The last I sensed her, she was quite far from me. Why did she head in this direction? Don't tell me she's in trouble...?"

Kyle glanced at the elves who had moved quite a distance from him and reached for the silver spear that floated in his mind space. The spear exuded a sense of calmness, and the moment he took it out, it eagerly started absorbing the divine energy in the air. It was the same spear he had stolen from Hubert, his master.

"Ah... I didn't want to get involved because this battle isn't mine. I just wanted to watch from a distance and help Yue if needed, but it looks like I have to to join the fight..."

He twirled the spear in his hand and clutched the shaft firmly. Right then, Wesley glanced back with narrowed eyes as he had felt the sudden halt in the human's movement. He was about to ask Kyle why he had stopped when everyone else was charging ahead at full speed. But before a word could leave his mouth, Kyle disappeared from his position.

Wesley blinked, bewildered as he hadn't sensed how the human disappeared... Did he use a skill? If so, it was a quite powerful one. Before he could gather his thoughts, Kyle surprised not only him but everyone around by suddenly appearing beside him.

"Old man, I'm leaving first."

"Huh??"

Wesley let out a startled sound as Kyle glanced at his face. He watched as the human turned back to look at Yue and Nox one last time before Kyle once again vanished into thin air.

Due to his sudden appearance and disappearance, everyone paused and glanced at each other to understand what had happened. It all occurred so fast that they could have easily dismissed it as a figment of their imagination... had they not witnessed Wesley's jaw drop in astonishment.

Wesley closed his mouth and looked around with clenched jaw because even though the human possessed a powerful teleportation skill, entering the battlefield alone when the other supreme rank elves were unaware that he was on their side was extremely risky! He shouted.

"Wait!"

However, he noticed with a sinking expression that he could no longer sense Kyle's presence. This marked a stark contrast from earlier when he could detect the human's every subtle action since Kyle never concealed his divine aura.

"That brat..."

He muttered a few curses under his breath and glanced at Yue because Kyle's reckless actions would worry her the most. However, he blinked when he noticed the elf's calm and composed expression, as if she wasn't concerned about him in the slightest and believed nothing would happen to him.

Yue noticed Wesley's gaze upon her and smiled. She pointed into the distance.

"Let's keep moving forward. Don't worry about him; he's strong enough to take down a transcendent rank individual. I remember you saying you wouldn't protect him even if he followed me because your hands are already filled with the elves under you. Well, trust me when I say there's no need for you to protect him."

Sebastian, who was floating a short distance from Yue, paled at her words. He couldn't believe what he was hearing... Kyle? That weakling who didn't even join them when they were fighting the ravens and undead inside the tomb was powerful enough to defeat a transcendent rank individual? No, she must be joking. He shook his head, trying to dismiss it.

However, then he recalled how Kyle had appeared before Wesley and vanished in less than a second. A shiver ran down his spine because if Kyle truly had the strength to defeat a transcendent rank individual, he would have been in grave danger if he had challenged the human to a duel!

Wesley pinched his brow and began to advance, instructing the elves to trail behind. If only one of them possessed the ability to craft a teleportation array, they would have arrived at their destination by now.

He sighed and shook his head because no one in his group had that level of expertise... not even he himself had much knowledge about symbols or arrays.

.....

In the distance, where Wesley and the elves under him were trying to reach, there was a beautiful forest now ablaze with flames. Numerous individuals from the dark and demon races were assaulting the people before them with weapons and razor-sharp nails.

They also cast dark energy infused spells and skills at their opponents, creating a cacophony of mocking laughter as their opponents fought to defend themselves.

Ronan, Oldeus, and the groups of elves under them weren't the only one fighting; numerous humans and demi-humans were also involved in the intense battle. As each moment passed, the intensity of the heat and bloodshed increased.

This was primarily due to one of the supreme rank demons leading the assault, who was utilizing powerful dark fire. The sky above the battleground grew darker than its surroundings, tainted by the polluted divine energy absorbed by the demon and dark race individuals.

In the middle of the fierce battlefield, within a cramped structure crafted from rough rocks, Jian cautiously looked out and surveyed the scene. His brow furrowed as he observed the chaos, his attire and body stained with blood - not his own, but that of the enemies he had recently killed. However, after depleting his divine energy, he was left with no choice but to hide. After all, the Sacred Divine Land lacked mana.
