Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 420  You\'re back?

Kyle blinked, unaware of what was going through the minds of the people stealing glances at him. He watched as Hay was pushed back by Alec and the others.

"It\'s strange, why isn\'t he using his divine pressure?"

Kyle narrowed his eyes at the man and used his scent perception skill to sense the air. A foul stench that made him retch entered his nose, and he quickly shut off the skill.

"What the heck was that? Don\'t tell me he\'s preparing to launch a powerful attack..."

"No matter what, we can\'t take risks."

He vanished from his spot, and Hay, who had been secretly keeping an eye on him while blocking the attacks, quickly became alert.

\'Where did that human go? No, he can\'t just disappear. I\'m almost done gathering all my divine energy. This attack would kill at least half of them. Just a few more seconds...\'

He became ruthless and started using the mana in the air to form sharp blade-like earth spikes. Then, he shot them in all directions to stop the grey-haired man from suddenly attacking him out of nowhere.

Kyle appeared between Alec and Regius, who were just pushed back by Hay. He grabbed Alec\'s shoulder and gestured toward Regius, the green-haired elf with a serious expression.

"I\'m going to use all my divine energy, so use your strongest attack. Let\'s finish him in one go. I sensed that woman is almost back... and she\'s not the only problem. A big army is heading toward us from the opposite direction with many divine-rank individuals."

Alec nodded his head and distanced himself from the crowd. The sword in his hand glowed faintly with a golden light as he fed it his divine energy without restraint. He wanted to use the system\'s double power skill as well, but it had stopped working after he reached the pseudo-divine rank. Probably because the system is an artifact that is only divine rank.

He knew the system wouldn\'t help him any further after he reached the divine rank because the skills and benefits the system gave were only useful to those who were below the pseudo-divine rank.

Kyle didn\'t vanish from his spot and watched as Hay suddenly distanced himself from the people surrounding him. The dark three-petal flower engraved on the man\'s head glowed with a dark light, and the air stilled when a crack appeared in the air above his head.

Hay snickered as everyone around him froze when a tremendous amount of pressure descended upon them. The pressure was even greater than Diora\'s divine pressure, and in the next second, darkness spilled out from the crack. Countless red eyes peered from the crack at the people below, their glow looking almost eager to devour everything as they tried to make the crack wider with each passing second so they could come out.

However, it was apparent from Hay\'s trembling hands that he was struggling.

Kyle pinched his nose as he raised his head to stare at the crack. Now he knew where the stench came from. He didn\'t know what those eyes were, and he didn\'t want to know either. That\'s why, before the eyes could come out from the crack, he used all his divine energy, and in the next second, icy blue flames surged out into the air.

The flames enveloped the crack, and a few mournful cries rang out as the countless eyes peeking from the crack sensed the chilling and dreadful coldness.

Hay\'s eyes contracted at the flames. He had already used his divine energy to summon the darkness, so he knew he couldn\'t stop the flames. He gritted his teeth and used his mana to create many defensive barriers around himself.

The flames flickered around him, but for some strange reason, they didn\'t get close. Instead, they only enveloped the crack and silently swirled around him.

Kyle wiped his forehead with a sigh as the flames enveloped the crack and closed it off with a layer of ice before vanishing into bright particles. But he raised his head and narrowed his eyes when he noticed a familiar figure approaching from the distance.

"Damn, She\'s already back. Alec, Regius, your turn!"

The duo jumped forward to attack Hay the moment Kyle\'s words echoed in the air. Yon gazed at the other guardians, and they all also jumped forward in mid-air to attack the man together. The dwarf had already sensed that Kyle was up to something when instead of attacking Hay, Kyle appeared between Alec and Regius.

Hay\'s eyes darted around, and finally, panic flashed within them. No way, if so many attacks landed on the barriers he created with his mana, he knew the barriers would crumble. Then it would be impossible for him to stop the icy flames that were dangerously lingering around him.

Now he understood why Kyle\'s flames didn\'t get closer to him. The grey-haired man probably used all his divine energy to form the flames, and he knew he couldn\'t waste them. That\'s why he asked the others to attack first.

Jian, Yue, Mia, and Lara looked at each other and unleashed their strongest attacks on the man as well.

Alec was the first to land his attack on the barriers Hay had created. His sword, infused with divine energy, flickered with countless sparks. When his attack hit the barriers, there was a loud bang, and Alec got pushed back because of the recoil effect.

He tightened his grip on his sword and regained his balance mid-air. Not only him, but even Hay was pushed back by the impact. Alec grinned because, after his attack, countless cracks appeared in the barriers around Hay. Regius attacked the barriers right after Alec with the two glowing blades in his hands.

Hay cried out as the barriers around him crumbled. He quickly moved his hand to create another barrier to protect himself. Anything would be fine. After all, he just needed to survive for a few more seconds because he sensed Diora\'s presence nearby... but Carcel\'s spear pierced his body with a tremendous force.

Hay spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes widened with shock as the ordinary-looking spear tip entered his shoulder. He lifted his eyes to stare at the golden-haired man who shoved his spear further into his body to push him back. In the next second, a sword pierced his other shoulder.

Hay grabbed the sword\'s tip and tilted his head to stare at the pair of golden eyes peering at him. Nine let out a snicker and kicked him forward toward Yon and the others, giving them enough chance to attack. Carcel also jumped back into the distance.

At that moment, Diora arrived in the air. She let out a high-pitched cry, as she watched Hay\'s condition.

"Stop right there!!"

She raised her whip, and her divine aura spread out once again. But a chill ran down her spine when a cold voice echoed behind her.

"You\'re back?"
