Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 425  The war IV

"Darn it, I swear I\'m going to get back at him. He\'s the only one who dares to make me work so much!"

Susan clicked his tongue and started floating before pausing in front of the dome. A bright light spread out from his fingers and the light created a small opening in the dome for him to pass through.

He flew out from the opening and after a minute of floating, he stopped above the forest. Because aside from a few low-rank monsters wandering around, he didn\'t see anything else.

"I\'ve checked the border, it\'s safe. No problem at all."

He kept exploring the forest for another minute before turning back to the dome enclosing the Continent. But suddenly, he sensed a movement in the mana behind him and titled his head back.

"Huh?"

In the next second, under his gaze, a flickering portal materialized in the air. The portal spit out a muscular man with lizard like features who managed to balance himself mid-air and let out a furious roar.

"Human, I\'m going to tear you apart!"

The scales on the man\'s body glowed ominously as he rushed toward the flickering portal. Susan jolted when a hand came out from the portal to punch the lizard man backward. The old man\'s heart trembled at the sight and he swiftly turned around to fly toward the dome that covered Coexis, but he halted when a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Ha... old man, take care of him. I can\'t anymore."

Susan\'s eyes widened as he watched Kyle step out from the portal. The young man had his clothes filled with blood and sweat, and he was breathing heavily as if he had just run a marathon. He looked completely different from the pristine appearance the old guardian saw him in last time.

Kyle gazed at Susan and wiped his forehead with his sleeve. Opposite him, the divine rank lizard man easily balanced himself in mid-air and stared at him with bloodshot eyes, ready to kill him right then and there.

Kyle winced as his whole body throbbed from the pressure he had been putting on himself for so long. This time, he felt it vividly that the mana in his body wasn\'t even enough to make him float for more than a minute.

Yet, he pushed his limits again and used instant teleportation to appear in front of the lizard man. Then, he used all his strength to punch the man, and the latter flew towards Susan, who had a bewildered expression on his face.

The old man was still processing what was happening when he sensed the divine aura spreading out from the lizard man. Susan snapped his shocked eyes toward Kyle.

"What the hell! He\'s a divine being!? Why did you bring him here?"

Kyle chuckled at Susan, who easily dodged an attack thrown at him by the lizard man. In the end, no matter what, the gap between a divine rank and a pseudo divine rank individual was too huge. After all, he could see it clearly that unlike him, Susan could easily handle the lizard man.

"Yon and the other guardians are busy. Also, you didn\'t join the war. So, I\'m leaving this man in your care."

Susan silently cursed the time he met Kyle with a pair of eyes that screamed he\'s leaving for a faraway place after he\'s done with the lizard man! No, he\'s going to leave this planet! The old man\'s eyes fixed on the lizard man as he rubbed his hands to release all his pent-up frustration.

However, he stopped when he noticed Kyle staggering in mid-air. Susan narrowed his eyes and watched as Kyle clenched his fists hard enough to draw blood. The old man wanted to check Kyle\'s body, but the latter vanished from his sight.

"The kid\'s pushing himself too much. There\'s not even an ounce of mana left in his body. If he continues like this, he\'s going to collapse."

Susan sighed and gazed at the lizard man who attacked him once again.

"It seems now I have to join the battle. Yon is going to make me listen to his endless nagging, but well, it\'s okay I guess. Fighting once in a while is fine because not just Kyle, but all the kids fighting for the Continent have a lot of potential. It would be a pity if any of them lost their life in the battle." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He fixed his gaze on the lizard man, and in the next second, his body turned into a mirage. The lizard man\'s eyes dilated as a hand grasped his neck and sent him flying backward. His body crashed into countless trees before slamming into a large boulder, shattering it upon impact.

Susan appeared above in the sky and looked down at the man who cried out and jumped into the air, causing the surroundings to tremble.

The duo started fighting, and with two divine rank individuals using all their strength, the sky rumbled with dark clouds, and fissures formed in the air.

Still, even though the fight looked evenly matched, the lizard man was already exhausted because of Kyle.

Sure, the grey-haired human wasn\'t able to harm him badly, but the latter made him use a lot of divine energy. That\'s why the lizard man soon realized he was losing to the old man. So, he decided to secretly flee when he had the chance. After all, his life was way more important than his anger or the battle he had to fight to conquer the planet.

On the other hand, Kyle staggered as he appeared above the battlefield. He let out a gasp as he lost his balance in mid-air, and barely managed to safely land amidst the thousands of people fighting each other.

Countless metallic sounds rang in his ears and the unmistakable scent of blood entered his nose as he unsheathed his sword. The same sword he found in the ancient realm. Its gleaming blade shone brightly as he jumped forward and went into a killing spree in the middle of the many people fighting around him.

Kyle\'s eyes traveled towards Alec, and he let out a tired sigh. The blue-haired man was giving it his all in the fight against Diora, and he didn\'t seem to be in the best shape. Still, Alec was holding his own against her pretty well.

"Just hold her a few more minutes... until I have some mana."

After just a minute, Kyle\'s clothes were completely drenched in blood. Moreover, because of his divine skill, he could smell it so vividly that it turned revolting. That\'s why he grabbed a shirt from his mind space and tore a piece from it to cover his lower face.

The night clouds gathered above the sky, and the moon shone brightly. Despite that, the battlefield remained well-lit thanks to the countless skills, spells, and attacks being thrown by everyone. In the midst of it all, Kyle paused when he noticed a familiar shimmer on his forehead.

"Huh..?"

Kyle stabbed his sword into the chest of an (S)-Rank demi-human who had a glowing one petal black flower engraved on his neck, then kicked the body away before grabbing the tips of his hair.

"Oh, they\'re turning silver..."
