Celestial Bloodline-Chapter 644: Leave the Lost treasure Tomb
Chapter 644: Leave the Lost treasure Tomb
Kyle left the rock formation with the phoenix and gazed at the dark sky above him. He sensed a group of undead nearby and quickly disappeared from his location, leaving only an afterimage behind.
Lightning flashed in the air as a deadly barrage of thunder arrows rained from the sky, striking the undead roaming the land. Kyle appeared above them and observed as the undead bodies crumbled to dust.
"Too weak... I need to battle the supreme rank undead to enhance my strength."
He extended his scent perception skill, ensuring it didn't extend too far to avoid alerting the Celestial spirit in the tomb, and began pinpointing the supreme rank undead. Bia observed him quietly.
Kyle had shared with her everything he experienced in the No Mana Land, including Hubert and his training. However, he had yet to mention Aze... When he mentioned the name, she expressed curiosity, but he fell into an unsettling silence.
-'I am getting a bad feeling about this. He went all quiet after bringing up that name.'
Unlike before, she could feel a faint yet desperate yearning for strength from him. His other emotions seemed muted, as if he were devoid of feeling, fixated solely on the goal to get stronger.
Bia didn't stopped him. Instead she joined him in training too. If he's getting stronger, she can't afford to lag behind.
Kyle paused as he crushed an undead and glanced at the massive phoenix beside him. The golden flames dancing around her body brought a sense of calm to his mind, and he reached out to touch the flames.
"They are warm..."
Bia's eyes widened at her actions, and she quickly retracted her flames.
- "What are you doing! I know my flames don't do much to you because we are bonded, but they can melt your body!"
Kyle rubbed his fingers, and Bia was even more shocked when she saw not a single burn mark on his skin.
"They can't really..."
The phoenix grumbled under her breath, a tad bit annoyed that her flames, capable of melting everyone below the divine rank within seconds, didn't affect him at all.
Kyle glanced at the heap of bones and the undead surrounding him.
"Bia, we need to get ready."
The phoenix's ears perked up. So he was finally willing to share what was bothering him? She circled his body.
-"For what?"
The corners of Kyle's lips trickled upward and spiritual energy erupted from his body to engrave numerous symbols in the air.
"A powerful person, whom I know, will soon be entering this tomb... I want to give him a fitting welcome."
Bia's eyes flashed with confusion as she paused beside him and gazed at the shimmering symbols in the air.
-"Who?"
Her beak dropped open when she heard his next words, which were spoken in a very nonchalant manner.
"Aze... or should I say Azazeal?"
Bia wanted to shake him and find out if he was talking about the same Azazeal she knew! But Kyle vanished towards a nearby undead before she could even process his alarming words.
-"Wait!! We need to talk!"
She shouted and pursued him.
-"When did you even meet Azazeal?! No! How did you even meet him?!"
Kyle chuckled at the phoenix.
"I met him thanks to my luck. What can I do when it's too high?"
Bia was speechless for a moment at his words, but the phoenix wasn't going to let what he said slide until he provided all the information! They were discussing Azazeal, the one feared by the entire universe! Not anyone else but Azazeal!
Kyle raised his fist and slammed it into the ground. The land exploded, forming a crater that swallowed many undead around him.
A thunderous sound echoed as dust and debris erupted into the air, causing Bia to halt in her place and close her eyes.
He didn't stop and once again slammed his fist into the ground.
The people roaming around the area were all spooked when a lightning storm flashed in the sky, lighting up everything before pouring down faster than light.
The air crackled with raw energy.
Bia moved back when a wave of powerful aura erupted from inside the dust, right where Kyle was standing.
She hadn't even grasped the situation when the dust cleared to reveal the silver-haired man's figure. He had a smile on his face as he checked his body. Bia's eyes narrowed at the icy layer around his body. A look of disbelief crossed her face.
-"Ah... has his physique broken through to the next rank?"
She knew she was right. After all, it was rare to see such an expression on his face.
In another location, Alec abrubly paused in his tracks when he saw the thunder lighting up the
distant sky. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
He began to float and narrowed his eyes towards the area but then let out a sigh.
"It's Kyle, isn't it? I mean, who else could stir up such a fuss like this?"
He chuckled when he realized he hadn't even considered anyone else.
With a shake of his head, he glanced at the sword at his waist, the very sword he had obtained
in the Tower of Opportunity.
Certainly, he got his sword back from the silver-haired man after the guy stashed it in his mind space. It was a real fight for Alec, but eventually, Kyle handed back his sword with a click of his tongue, claiming his golden sword was better than Alec's.
"Once more, I wonder if I'm truly the one... Soul, the first and last divine artifact forged by Odiak, should have selected Kyle, wouldn't that have been more fitting? Kyle had grown much
stronger than me-!"
Alec halted mid-sentence when a system notification flashed before his eyes. Soul, the system, had been evolving alongside him ever since they bonded.
The system had granted him many treasures and skills during his time on the blue planet by assigning specific missions. However, after he left the blue planet and grew stronger, the system couldn't provide him with strong enough treasures to boost his strength anymore.
While it still possessed many powerful skill cores and treasures, they were no longer beneficial to Alec, who had come so far.
"It's not completely useless though... It had a wealth of knowledge about various herbs and things I can't grasp."
He hummed and checked the system's notification. The system had long stopped giving him missions, so he was surprised when he saw he had received one. His faint smile disappeared when he finally laid eyes on the content of the mission.
'Mission; XX'
Leave the 'Lost treasure Tomb'.
Reward:
None.
Penalty:
Death.
Time remaining:
20 days.
Alec's eyes dilated.
"What!?"
He couldn't wrap his head around what he was seeing. It was true, the system had become somewhat useless to him.
This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.
However, it was linked to him, that's why any threat to his life would trigger an immediate
response from it.
"Why would I die...? I have gotten rid of the dark mark... So why?"
He called out to Soul to know the answers of his questions. He knew after he reached the
divine rank the system had developed a proper consciousness.
"Reply to me!"
There was silence as his voice echoed in the atmosphere, drawing the attention of many nearby undead. Alec gritted his teeth as his eyes flashed with frustration. "Damn it, sometimes I wish you had a body so I could give you a beating!"
He swiftly dealt with the undead lunging at him from behind, shattering their skeletal
structures. After dealing with the undead, he left the area to avoid the many undead who had begun heading toward him after hearing his loud voice.
As he ran across the barren land surrounded by darkness, another notification flashed before
his eyes.
Leave the Lost treasure Tomb.
"I get your point! Just tell me, why am I going to die? Is something gonna happen in the
tomb? Be helpful! Don't just give me half-baked details!"
He paused when a sudden bad feeling arose in his chest. "Wait... don't tell me it's not just me who's in danger, but everyone in the tomb is at risk?"
The system stayed eerily quiet, causing Alec's heart rate to rise with panic. "Soul, speak! You know if I am dead, you will vanish as well! So just tell me what's going on!"
There was silence for a moment before another notification flashed before Alec's eyes.
I am not sure. I just deduced with my power the tomb is going to explode soon.
Alec took a deep breath as he read the notification. He paused by a rock, his feet anxiously tapping the solid surface below. He was right; he wasn't the only one in danger.
"But seriously, why now? This tomb has been around for countless years, and nothing bad has
happened before!"
He waited for Soul to reply, hoping for more clues about what was gonna happen in the tomb,
but didn't get anything more. The system doesn't know about the future; it can only predict a
potential outcome and warn him of the danger, nothing more.
After all, it was just an artifact.
"I reached the second stage of the transcendent rank thanks to all the mystical spirits the
system caught because of Kyle's presence... but how am I going to get everyone out of the tomb when I don't even know the way out myself!?"
He knew the tomb exit would only open when it's time for the tomb to vanish. And if he recalls correctly, didn't the Lost Treasure Tomb exit only open after a year or two!?
