Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 256 Bloody

A satisfied expression appeared on Anlee\'s face and he nodded.

"Good very good.... I expected nothing less from the youths from my Kingdom."

A chilling smile appeared on his face, making everyone shudder.

"Anyway, if anyone indeed tried to leave... I would have broken his legs."

Loud gasps echoed in the air when they heard his exclamation. And from his chilling smile, they were sure he meant whatever he said.

"Alright! Stop gwanking at me! The four people standing behind me are your instructors for the next month. So, make sure to be respectful because if you don\'t they are allowed to break your bones. Also, don\'t even dare to fight with each other. You all are a big team from now on. So learn to help each other. Consider this my first and last warning because if I found out that someone stirred trouble in my absence I don\'t think I will only break their legs."

His eyes trailed to a certain silver-haired boy who was busy in his thoughts. Anlee hummed and clapped his hands.

"That\'s it. I wish you all the best for the future."

He turned around and left. Leaving behind the crowd of youths with the four instructors who were known for being merciless in their training methods.

Kyle gazed at Anlee fading back and looked at the floating instructors.

Soon, the crowd was divided into four big teams and each instructor took one team with him. Afterward, they vanished within the lush trees present around the wide clearing.

Kyle waved at Yue and Niamh. The duo was placed in a different team. He quietly followed behind his instructor. She was a middle-aged woman with blondie locks.

Regius couldn\'t help but narrow his eyes when he saw a tiny smile at the corner of Kyle\'s face.

"What are you so happy about?"

Kyle turned his head to look at him.

"Just a little excited because I am going to experience what they call a \'hellish training\'. Also...."

His words trailed off into a whisper that\'s why Regius didn\'t hear it.

"....I will meet my old friends soon."

...

In another place, the sun was burning high in the sky and frightening heat spread out everywhere. However, thick brown trees stopped the sunlight from descending on the group of individuals hunting monsters.

Alec looked at his damp bloodied clothes with a rather unsatisfied expression.

"159..."

"Can you stop counting? I know you killed the most monsters! Damn it... stop showing off!"

An irritated voice boomed from behind him with a loud thud, indicating the owner of the voice also killed a monster.

Nine wiped the blood from his fingers and showed a satisfied expression as he inspected the dead body lying in front of him. It was a fox monster.

"80! Let\'s move. I think I killed all the monsters in this area."

He placed his sword on his shoulder with a smirk and staggered forward without caring about the others who were looking at him with twitching eyes.

All of them had the same question in their hearts.

\'If you killed all the monsters then what the hell did we do?\'

Alec chuckled and caught up to him.

"Don\'t advance further. We are only allowed to roam around in the outer area of the dark forest. Let\'s go to the east side to look for Carcel, Mia, and Lara."

Nine clicked his tongue. He turned around to move in another direction when he accidentally grazed Alec\'s hand.

He froze in his place. The golden thread in his eyes swirled in a sharp moment. Nine expression paled and his hand holding the sword trembled. With a click, the sword fell from his grasp.

Alec stopped and looked back at Nine with a frown.

"What happened..."

His sentence was cut shot because in the next second red blood trickled down from Nine nose. Under Alec\'s horrid eyes, he fell to his knees with a resounding thud.

There was pin-drop silence as everyone standing around them looked at Nine with wide eyes. What happened? He was just fine a moment ago?

"Nine!"

Alec shouted and rushed to his side. He took out a healing potion from his storage ring and poured it inside Nine\'s mouth.

His expression sank because even after drinking the potion Nine didn\'t return to his senses. Instead, his eyes turned hazy.

Alec\'s eyes widened when he saw blood within the bright golden eyes. Bright golden threads swirled inside Nine\'s eyes with lightning-fast speed. If not for Alec\'s heightened vision he would have never noticed such thin threads.

He hurriedly closed Nine eyes with his palm.

"Damn it Nine come to your sense!"

He grabbed his shoulder and poured another potion into his mouth.

"It\'s not working!"

Alec looked around at the individuals standing around him and shouted out.

"Help me! Let\'s take him back!"

A few individuals rushed toward Alec. Even if they were unwilling to help they didn\'t voice their opinions because Alec was the strongest among them.

Meanwhile,

Nine blinked his eyes when he saw himself standing between dust and debris.

He looked around with an astonished expression.

\'Where am I?\'

He tried to move his lips but no voice came out from his mouth.

Nine sucked in a deep breath. He noticed he was standing above what seemed to be the remains of a large building.

He moved toward the edge and his eyes flew wide at the scenery in front of him.

Bloody... The sky was painted red with dark smoke rising everywhere. Dead bodies littered the ground with crimson.

Nine expression turned deadly pale when he saw a beady-eyed man with fangs munching on a dead body of a young girl. The man lifted his charcoal eyes to look at him with an evil smile. Blood painted the lower half of his mouth disgustingly.

Nine barely maintained his balance and staggered backward when he found the scenery around him cracking bit by bit.
