Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 431  How about a good meal?

He ran his fingers through his hair and glanced at Kyle, who appeared beside him, breathing irregularly.

"You could have told me it\'s dangerous and can potentially threaten my life."

Kyle wiped his forehead with his sleeve.

"But I saved you just in time, didn\'t I? So, no need to worry."

Carcel took a deep breath. He thought he was more level-headed compared to Alec and the others who always wanted to beat up Kyle. But every time he experienced something like this, he understood where they were coming from. He ignored Kyle and quickly joined the others who were fighting in mid-air. Kyle glanced at his fading back and let out a chuckle.

"Maybe I should have told him that I calculated the time and knew when the symbols would explode. So, there\'s no way I could mess up the time we had to leave."

His eyes scanned the battlefield. Unlike before, now he could clearly see that the people of Coexis were winning.

"The ones with black petals engraved on their bodies had started fleeing in different directions. It seems they noticed that all the strong individuals on their side had either been defeated or disappeared."

Kyle glanced at the last divine-rank individual. The man was getting beaten up by so many people that he knew there was no need for him to interfere.

His eyes paused on the pseudo-divine rank individuals Jian, Yue, and Lara were fighting and he vanished before appearing behind one of the pseudo-divine rank individuals.

Yue paused in her actions when she saw the bright silver hair. She blinked and watched as Kyle easily took care of her opponent. She immediately realized that she was staring at the man too intensely, but she didn\'t stop.

Maybe it was because of his hair, which had once again started to shine brightly, or was it solely because it was him?

Kyle kicked the body off his sword and watched as it plummeted toward the chaotic battleground below.

He took a deep breath and looked at the blood on his hands. Then, his gaze shifted to the elven woman floating across from him. He knew that throughout the fight, Yue was keeping her eyes on him, and it made him feel self-conscious.

\'I do want to go near... but I\'m drenched in blood. Next time.\'

He was about to disappear toward the battlefield, but someone grabbed his hand. Kyle felt the warm sensation on his skin and glanced back at Yue.

The corners of his eyes lifted as he looked into the eyes staring at him.

"What happened?"

Yue raised her hand and wiped the few bloodstains off his face.

"Just don\'t tire yourself too much."

Kyle sensed many pairs of eyes on his back, especially Jian\'s stare. However, he shamelessly leaned into the touch.

"That\'s not possible, I am already tired. But I guess I can rest a lot after all this ends."

"Umm."

Yue nodded and after she let go of him, Kyle vanished toward the people fighting on the ground. She quietly watched him as he killed many people. In that moment, Jian arrived beside her and cleared his throat loudly with a smirk.

"Ahem, there\'s a war happening. So, how about we all focus on the battle first?"

Yue blinked at his words and her ears turned red with embarrassment. She hurriedly joined Lara against two (SSS)-Rank individuals.

After a while, the phoenix arrived above the battlefield. Bia\'s wings overshadowed the ground as she controlled all the living monsters inside the battlefield before commanding them to hunt and kill every single enemy who tried to escape.

Kyle rubbed his aching shoulder and glanced at Bia for a second.

\'What took you so long?\'

The phoenix looked down, and after a few seconds, she dove down towards the silver-haired man fighting amidst the countless people.

-\'I just realized that I\'m too young, and youngsters need plenty of rest when they are tired. So, I went to take a break after killing that woman.\'

Kyle raised his brow with an \'Oh\'. Not really getting what she meant by too young.

\'Good job. As a pseudo-divine rank, you killed a divine-rank individual. That\'s already enough. So, it was fine for you to rest.\' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bia raised her head proudly. She didn\'t say anything, but Kyle chuckled when he sensed her emotions faintly. She was happy. He did feel that their bond had gotten stronger the moment his hair turned silver, but now he was sure.

"I should praise her more often."

The people around Kyle were startled when they saw the phoenix that paused above the silver-haired man.

Kyle jumped into the air and grabbed Bia\'s leg as she flew upward. In the next second, blue and golden flames surged out in the air, brightening the dark sky.

The flames traveled toward the battleground and skillfully killed many enemies. Kyle let out a tired sigh and spun his body upward before climbing onto Bia\'s back to lie down.

"I guess now they can handle the rest... My whole body is aching, and I have no energy left in me. There\'s no way I can continue."

He closed his eyes as the phoenix roamed above the battlefield, which grew more chaotic with each passing second. Not because of the enemies, but because the soldiers and fighters from Coexis started chasing after the individuals with black petals engraved on their bodies.

Alec, Carcel, and the tower\'s guardians also joined the battle happening on the ground after killing the remaining pseudo-divine rank individuals.

Time passed with countless metallic sounds echoing in the air. Kyle\'s ears twitched when he heard Nine\'s familiar voice.

"Bia, can I sit on you too? I\'m tired as hell, and the alive old foggies from my Kingdom will work me if I go down now. So, let me hide on your back for a while."

The phoenix snickered at the brown-haired man with narrowed eyes.

-"No way, one is already heavy enough!"

Kyle opened one of his eyes and gazed at the man whose condition was even worse than his. He smirked and closed his eyes again.

"Nothing is free in this world, my friend. How about you bribe her? Maybe she\'ll let you sit on her."

Nine gazed down at the battlefield. It had grown louder with everyone killing the remaining enemies, and the soldiers had started cheering with tears of relief.

"Bro, honestly, I don\'t think there\'s anything I can give her. She\'s already at a rank where normal treasures won\'t tempt her. So... how about a good meal?"

Kyle opened his eyes and stared at Nine with shock.

\'So cunning, he knows Bia\'s weakness!\'

He clicked his tongue when Bia agreed with twinkling eyes at the mention of food and told Nine that he could sit on her back.

Nine sat down beside Kyle, who stretched his neck and closed his eyes again. Kyle\'s ears twitched again when the man beside him let out a big sigh.

"Actually, there\'s something I want to tell you. That\'s the second reason why I came here."

"Oh, what is it?"

Kyle quickly sat up when he sensed the seriousness in his voice. In that moment, Nine pointed at his eyes.

"You know, I can see the future. It\'s only for a few seconds, but it\'s usually true. A while back, or rather, a few years ago, I saw a vision after I touched Alec."

"It was the first time I saw something so clearly... so it\'s still fresh in my mind."
