Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 282  Golden Moths

Bia sighed with a hint of frustration. He learned how to fly just like that? She shook her head and tossed the matter at the back of her mind. Anyway, it\'s not like she knew another human who learned to fly in front of her.

Kyle arrived above the nearest floating island, he circled the castle twice before gazing far, all around at the other floating islands with narrowed eyes. A few tiny dark flying figures appeared in his eyes. He focused his vision on one of the figures and frowned.

"Demi-humans? So many? Hmm... their wings looked a little different from Sinon\'s. Moreover, what\'s with their bodies... they are so... ugly."

The winged boar heard his exclamation, he wanted to correct Kyle that the flying figures were from the Dark race but he was distracted by the old and serene voice inside his head. It was the illusionary old man. The moment Haylee left the last treasure land. His presence was known by Guil and the illusionary old man. The winged boar sighed and vanished to talk with the old man because it had been a while since he left his slumbering place.

"I hope you stay safe kid until I come back. I can see a lot of potential in you."

Kyle heard the drifting voice but his eyes did not move away from the floating figures. His expression chilled when he saw how one of the winged figures killed a running individual without mercy. A sudden old almost blurry image appeared in his mind.

"I don\'t think they are demi-humans. Why do I feel like I have seen them somewhere before."

Bia changed her place and sat down on his shoulder with a serious expression.

-\'Where?\'

Kyle\'s thoughts trailed off to a distant memory before his eyes widened slightly.

"That book I stole.. I mean I borrowed from the red-haired woman from the Tower of Opportunity."

Bia looked at him with a strange expression saying, you still remember about it?

Once again, Kyle felt grateful that Elder Han secured his storage rings or else all his hard-earned materials would have gone down the drain. He dived down and softly landed in front of the castle gate before rummaging through his mind space to look for the book.

While searching, he made his way toward the castle gate and pushed it roughly. A loud creaking sound resounded in the air and after a second pitch black darkness spilled out from the gate.

"So, it\'s going to be a similar experience every time?"

Kyle mumbled with a sigh and stepped into the darkness, after his figure vanished, the castle gate was closed again with a loud bang.

Amidst the silence, three golden arm-sized moths with crimson wings emerged from the shadows. The moths swirled around the castle gate and a few childish giggles spilled out from their throats. They looked cute and adorable if not for the rows of razor-sharp teeth inside their mouths and the dense (S+)-Rank aura around their bodies. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Did you see that human, he smells so tasty."

"Shhhhh- keep your voice low he is still nearby."

The moths murmured among themselves with hushed voices. It was rare for them to leave their home because they were strong enough to feed themselves. After all, with their incredible sense of smell, they could just kill and eat the monsters who accidentally walked around their home. Also, the treasure lands were closed off for a long time, and due to the influence of the dark race, everything basically tasted the same.

The trio was overjoyed after the treasure lands opened again because the incredible smell in the air was enough to make their mouth watery. But, the moment they left their base to look around for herbs and treasures they smelled an otherworldly delicious and tempting aura from a certain direction. And to their surprise and shock, the aura was coming from a two-legged human. The red bird flying around the human also had a delicious smell but compared to the silver-haired human it was nothing.

Still, even after locating the alluring smell they didn\'t dare approach the human because first they sensed a very strong opponent beside the human. And second, even though they could smell the human they were not able to pinpoint his strength. That\'s why, the trio was dejected but before they could leave with regrets the strong presence around the human vanished into thin air.

"I want to eat him."

One of the moths voiced his desire to his brothers and the crimson wings behind him fluttered with anticipation.

"Me too me too.. I want a part as well!"

The last moth smacked his brothers with a serious expression.

"Tsk, the human is so tiny and slender. If we ate him now I don\'t think we would be satisfied! Also, there\'s a bad-smelling thing inside his body. Let\'s fatten him up first then we will take him to our home and remove the bad-smelling thing from his body. Only then can we eat the human with bliss."

The two moth\'s eyes sparkled with awe when they heard their brother\'s plan. Indeed the oldest was the most intelligent. One of them tilted his head with an innocent smile that betrayed all of the cruel words spilling out from his mouth.

"What about the bird? It\'s not as good as the human but the smell around her is delicious as well."

After hearing the question all three of them started thinking deeply before the oldest gave his opinion with a serious expression.

"The bird is too tiny as well. I can sense it\'s a beast just like us. So, let\'s cage the bird and feed it until it turns into a large beast. We can save her for the future."

Three heads moved up and down with satisfied expressions. Indeed after reaching (S+)-Rank the trio had become so much intelligent.
