Celestial Bloodline-Chapter 706: The ancient projection II

Kyle's eyes flickered with a touch of amusement as he listened to Logan's explanation, but then he leaned in closer to the demi-human, prompting the latter to fall silent as coldness settled in his gaze.

"Just take note: next time, if you bring anything that could be even slightly harmful to me or Bia, you won't be standing on your own two feet. Instead, I believe you will find yourself a few meters underground-alongside your twin, of course."

Logan nodded frantically, a chill running down his spine as he locked eyes with the piercing green gaze fixed on him.

He felt momentarily dazed, but then Kyle moved back and waved his hand.

"Leave for now, as I want to rest. Come back tomorrow to the hotel where I am staying, then we will explore this city."

His words had barely faded when Logan seized his unconscious twin and rushed down from the second floor to escape the restaurant. Bia called out after the duo.

-"Wait! I'm not finished yet-!"

Kyle shushed her and covered her mouth. Just how much did she want to eat?

"That's enough food for today. I want to go and check the projection."

Bia gasped in surprise, momentarily forgetting about food. She struggled and quickly pushed aside the hand that was preventing her from speaking.

-"Oh, really? We can go there? But is it safe for us to check it out? The twins said that the projection is hiding this planet. What if something goes wrong with the projection because of you? I mean, you know, your presence alone attracts trouble."

Kyle's eyebrow twitched at her remarks as he released her and raised an eyebrow.

"Then you stay here. I will be back after checking out the projection."

Bia's eyes widened when he disappeared from his spot, and in an instant, his figure reappeared standing in the open window.

-"Wait for me! Don't leave me behind!"

She shouted, swiftly chasing after him as he leaped out of the window.

Several bystanders outside the hotel noticed his floating figure, but it wasn't unusual to see someone levitating, so they looked away after just a glance or two.

Unlike the unconcerned bystanders, Bia cursed under her breath as Kyle's floating figure ascended rapidly toward the sky.

-"Do you think if you are faster than me, I won't be able to catch up?!"

With an angry huff, she flapped her wings and used all her speed to follow the fading figure of the human. It didn't take long for her to realize that with her current size, she could never match his agility... which is why she transformed into her phoenix form.

The dark night, adorned with tiny stars, ignited with golden flames as a majestic phoenix appeared above the city.

Countless eyes from below were drawn to the magnificent creature soaring in the sky, and gasps of astonishment rippled through the bustling city; some powerful individuals even tried to chase after the phoenix, but the beast was simply too swift.

Zhask and the three other powerful elders in the city stepped out of their residences when they sensed the distant commotion, only to be perplexed by the sight of the fire phoenix soaring in the sky.

They didn't pursue Bia and instead wondered... were Kyle and the phoenix leaving the planet? But they couldn't help but question why it was happening so soon. Had Kyle already healed from the injuries he had mentioned to them?

In the sky, Bia darted behind Kyle with all her agility, unfazed by the commotion her presence had stirred in the city.

She chuckled when suddenly a series of symbols illuminated the air around her. The symbols swirled around her, shimmering brightly before coalescing into a shield.

The moment the shield appeared, her presence vanished from the sight of all those watching or following her.

Kyle halted in the distance and glanced back at her with a shake of his head.

'Next time, hide your presence when you transform. I sent the twins away because I didn't want anyone to know we were going to check the projection, but you just had to go and announce it to the whole planet?'

Bia quickened her pace as his voice resonated in her mind. She reached his figure after a few seconds and circled around him, with innocent eyes.

-'It's your fault, though. You shouldn't have left me behind! Especially since whenever you leave to do something, you always disappear for days-even weeks!'

Kyle sighed, realizing the phoenix's words held some truth... he couldn't deny that he often disappeared. But it was only when he was about to do something crazy.

'Okay, okay, whatever you say.'

He began to move again, but this time he ensure his pace matched Bia's, making sure not to go ahead of her.

The spark of golden light that Kyle had spotted in the sky earlier started to enlarge as they drew closer to its source. Together, the duo passed through the curtain of dark clouds and left the boundary of the planet. As soon as they did, they found themselves surrounded by a thin cluster of energies enveloping the planet.

However, amidst the unclear path and countless distant stars, their eyes quickly found what they were looking for. Directly above them, a massive square projection made of energy hovered in the air.

Its luminous glow illuminated the surrounding darkness, and the golden energy swirling around it seemed to pulse with life, creating intricate patterns that danced across the dark

space.

Kyle quickly made his way toward the projection alongside the phoenix. Unable to expand his scent perception skill, he relied on his senses to survey the surroundings. Fortunately, he detected no one nearby or around the massive projection.

He finally came to a stop when he arrived directly before the projection, its enormous frame looming above him and Bia.

But just as Mason had told him, Kyle noticed that everything on the projection was veiled behind a curtain. So, he couldn't see anything at all, let alone check if his name was on the

projection.

Kyle rolled up his sleeves.

"Well, it looks like we need to take action regarding the veil. I definitely won't leave without seeing my name on the projection. Plus, I'm curious to find out if Azazeal's name is truly at

the top."

He extended his senses toward the projection and began to examine the veil obscuring its

content.

Bia circled above his head, eagerly waiting for him to either dismantle the veil or find a way to see what lay on the projection.

-"Do you think my name will be on it as well? After all, I've gone above the divine. I hope the projection does not discriminate against beasts; otherwise, I will destroy it."
