Celestial Bloodline-Chapter 619 Perhaps a different race?

The tunnel was cloaked in darkness, mirroring the night sky outside. Yue refrained from igniting a fire in the underground space out of fear that the light might trigger more undead to rise from the ground. Regardless, being a divine-rank, she could see everything in her surroundings clearly even amidst the darkness.

She signaled to Nox to prepare to confront the intruder who had entered the tunnel as she tightened her grip on her bow. The duo had both used up their divine energy while defending themselves from the undead that surrounded them upon entering the tomb, but they still had some spiritual energy left in their bodies. So, they were confident they could defeat whoever entered the tunnel.

Yue sighed with relief and lowered her weapon when she sensed a familiar presence stepping toward her.

"It's you..." freēnovelkiss.com

Kyle swiftly approached her, his eyes were gleaming in the darkness as he sat down in front of her to assess her injuries.

"You require treatment. And what about Nox? Is the lynx injured too?"

He scanned her body and noticed her clothes were stained with blood. Yue flinched as he placed his cold palm on her right leg, just above the injury where she had applied a healing potion.

"Nox isn't badly hurt, and I gave him a healing potion."

Kyle nodded and noticed that the wound on her leg was healing steadily. Nevertheless, he traced her skin, and a soft spiritual glow radiated from his palm to ease her pain and hasten the healing process.

"Don't move."

She froze and observed as he flicked his fingers, causing water to materialize in the air to cleanse her skin of the blood before a subtle icy sensation radiated from his palm, swiftly healing her wound in an instant.

"Finished."

Kyle released her leg, his eyes flashed with amusement when he noticed her remaining perfectly still, even to the extent of holding her breath to avoid any movement.

"You're free to move now."

Yue nodded and brushed her fingers over her skin, now clear without a trace of blood. A question arose in her mind.

What was that icy sensation? It felt markedly distinct from the usual coldness emanating from Kyle's entire body.

She might have pondered further if she hadn't caught the amused sparkle in his eyes fixed upon her. Instantly, a flushed expression spread across her face.

"What...?"

Kyle arched an eyebrow. Was she thinking about something else? He leaned towards her, and a chuckle slipped from his lips when she closed her eyes.

At the sound of his voice, Yue's eyes snapped open. Instantly, her face flushed even more with embarrassment as she caught him gazing at her.

"You-!"

Her words faded as he leaned in swiftly, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead with a smile before embracing her in his arms.

"You did great... but I hope next time you contact me when you are in danger. I can't bear to see you injured."

Nox's eyebrow twitched at the scene. He had been quietly watching the duo from the sidelines. He shook his head with a sigh and turned away, not sure if it was a good thing that he had gotten good at fading into the background when he wasn't needed.

Outside the underground chamber, a resounding bell reverberated throughout the entire Lost Treasure Tomb.

The sound was powerful, nearly creating ripples in the atmosphere.

After the bell's toll, a brilliant light illuminated the entire tomb, clearing the sky and dispersing the dark clouds, revealing a stunning morning sky, though lacking a sun, it shone brightly.

The many individuals, who had been fighting the undead since they entered the tomb to protect their lives and survive, let out cries of relief as all the surrounding undead were suddenly engulfed by the ground below and disappeared.

Those who had fought the undead creatures tirelessly had no energy left in their bodies to appreciate the magnificent view that unfolded all around the Treasure Tomb when the sky finally cleared.

Kyle and Yue emerged from the underground tunnel upon hearing the commotion outside. Nox trailed behind.

As Yue and Nox briefly shut their eyes from the intense light in the sky, Kyle remained unaffected. He noticed a shadow beside him and turned to behold a grand marble statue standing in the distance.

It was old and damaged, with a missing arm and part of its face, yet it clearly represented a male human. However, the statue's eyes were peculiar, featuring two straight slits carved into its pupils.

"Perhaps a different race?"

Yue and Nox caught his whisper and turned their gaze toward the statue. It loomed tall, nearly three times the size of a building, casting shadows over the ground.

Nox climbed on Kyle's shoulder.

"It looks human except for the eyes."

Kyle nodded, but they didn't head towards the statue because he needed to fetch the phoenix first. Furthermore, he had to visit the platform Asher mentioned, which could help him achieve the transcendent rank.

He had informed Yue about the platform, and she, along with Bia, could also benefit from it since the duo had reached the final stage of the divine rank.

As Kyle and Yue soared through the sky, their eyes caught sight of many statues belonging to different races standing in various directions around them. The land below was barren, littered with bones, and only a few trees were visible.

Kyle conjured a portal leading straight to where he had left Bia and Jian, and stepped inside with Nox after Yue.

Upon appearing above the calm lake, his eyes instantly narrowed at the red-haired man and the phoenix. The duo was sitting on the same rock as Asher, eating cooked meat and listening to the half-dragon who was talking non-stop.

Kyle's gaze paused on the meat in their hands, not because something was wrong with it, but because it was from the same purple-winged creatures Asher had been fondly caressing earlier.

'He cooked them...? I thought the beautiful beasts were his companions.'

His eyes shifted to the few surviving purple-winged creatures. They were sitting at the edge of the lake together, gazing at the half-dragon with sheer terror.

'....'

Right away, Kyle realized they weren't Asher's companions but just stocked food the half-dragon had gathered for himself.
