Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 647: Don\'t worry. No one will die.

"I was engaged in a crucial task when I suddenly lost consciousness."

Bia climbed onto his head, adding to the disarray of his already untidy hair.

-"What? Don\'t give me any more surprises, please. Azazeal coming to this tomb is already difficult for me to accept."

Kyle let out a chuckle. It seems the phoenix wasn\'t going to inquire further, like how and when he met Azazeal.

"No, no, it\'s just that the symbols I was carving before I passed out. I haven\'t completed them yet."

He began walking leisurely, and spiritual energy started emanating from his body, carving numerous symbols in the air around him before they dissolved into the land beneath his feet.

Bia glanced at the symbols, too exhausted to inquire about his next move. She simply shut her eyes and opted to rest. Her mind was truly in need of a break.

Kyle\'s steps were slow as he took in the scene around him.

Several individuals caught sight of him, but as soon as they noticed him, they quickly changed their route.

"It\'s a bright day."

After a bit, he reached a trial ground beside the statue of a merman with a set of broad wings behind its back.

He stepped into the trial ground and felt a crowd of people inside.

They were all clearing the tests inside the trial ground to obtain the treasures.

Unlike them, Kyle didn\'t clear any tests. He simply stood in one place after entering and extended his scent perception skill to detect the treasures inside the trial ground and all the mechanisms operating it.

Symbols kept forming around him before sinking into the ground beneath him.

He didn\'t forcibly break the mechanisms driving the trial ground. Instead, once he pinpointed the exact location of the main power source, he created a portal and stepped through with Bia, only to find himself in a small chamber.

In the center of the chamber floated a palm-sized spherical artifact radiating divine and spiritual energy.

"Is this the main power source? Just an ordinary artifact?"

Kyle moved forward and grabbed the hovering artifact. He checked its purpose but found it wasn\'t much use to him, as it was only meant to run the trial ground. After he finished reading and understanding the tiny symbols on the artifact, his grip on it tightened, causing it to disintegrate into dust, releasing a surge of divine and spiritual energy in all directions.

The instant the artifact disintegrated, all the mechanisms in the trial ground stopped, causing the tests within to pause. The folks inside the trial ground were shocked when all the closed doors around them burst open on their own, exposing the entrances and exits of the test chambers.

Quickly, many dashed forward in search of the end of the trial ground for treasures. Those who had reached the final test even ventured into the chamber housing the treasures, only to encounter a familiar silver-haired man standing inside.

Kyle and Bia glanced up at the group of people who walked into the chamber they had just stepped into through a portal. The phoenix cocked her head slightly.

- "Can\'t you see we are already here? Give us some space, will you?"

Kyle\'s lips curved up at her words, and the expressions of those who had just entered the chamber fell.

They had gone through so much in the trial ground, only to see nature\'s favorite swoop in and claim the spoils effortlessly?

They felt the urge to resist, but upon sensing the powerful and overwhelming aura emanating from Kyle\'s body, they all withdrew with dejected expressions.

Kyle shifted his gaze toward the table in the chamber and, without bothering to inspect the treasures resting upon it, tossed the entire table into his mind space.

"These treasures aren\'t enough..."

He muttered quietly before bending down to place his hand on the ground beneath him. Instantly, a multitude of pulsating golden symbols illuminated the entire trial ground, startling everyone inside.

After checking the symbols one last time, he formed a portal and left the space. He appeared outside and once again started walking, carving symbols everywhere.

Bia was puzzled by his deeds and eventually dozed off on his head.

Kyle ventured into many trial grounds and began destroying their main power sources to stop all the mechanisms operating them. He even took the treasures and filled the trial grounds entirely with the symbols.

"My expertise in arrays is improving."

He paused above an elevated area beside a serene lake. His eyes scanned everything around him, but suddenly he jerked his head back, causing the person slowly creeping toward him from behind to halt.

It was the half-dragon. Asher let out a sigh and closed his eyes for a moment.

"I finally found you. I wanted to startled you, but I guess I can\'t pull that off with you." Asher had been on the lookout for the silver-haired human ever since he split from Alec and the rest. But man, finding Kyle was like trying to catch smoke.

In just a few days, he figured out that if Kyle wants to hide, no one can track him down. It was pure coincidence that Asher caught sight of Kyle coming out of a trial ground, and he started following him.

Asher peered at the symbols taking shape around Kyle before sinking into the ground beneath him. He narrowed his eyes, lacking knowledge about arrays, so he was unsure of what the

human was doing.

"What are you up to?"

Kyle gave him a sidelong glance. He had detected Asher\'s presence since the man started following him. A mischievous glint flickered in his eyes.

"I\'m not sure about the others, but you will be delighted to learn what I\'m up to."

Asher\'s ears pricked up, and even Bia tilted her head slightly, curious as to why the half-

dragon would be pleased.

"Now that sounds intriguing!"

Kyle eyed the symbols.

"I\'m planning to open an exit so we can leave this tomb before the actual time."

Asher\'s jaw dropped.

"What??! How!?"

If he recalls, doesn\'t the tomb open only at the exact time?! No matter how skilled Kyle is in arrays, how could he unlock the exit of an ancient tomb when, as a supreme rank, he had no clue about it! If opening an exit in the tomb was that simple, wouldn\'t he have fled this place

ages ago?!

Even Bia was taken aback at Kyle\'s words. She thought he was preparing to confront Azazeal who, according to him, would soon arrive in the lost treasure tomb.

-"You sure know how to leave others speechless. So, how exactly are you planning to open an

exit of this tomb?"

Asher closed his mouth and fixed his gaze on Kyle, eager to know more details.

The half-dragon\'s eyes gleamed with joy, relief, and anticipation. He had believed it would

take him another year or two to escape this place since the lost treasure tomb only opens after

that duration.

However, it appeared he would be leaving the tomb sooner than anticipated!

Kyle opened his mouth but closed it again. He cleared his throat and glanced at Asher.

"It\'s better you don\'t know the procedure. What matters is that you will be leaving the tomb

very soon."

Bia left his head and started floating. The phoenix narrowed her eyes at him because a bad premonition welled up in her heart upon hearing his words.

- "What the hell are you up to?"

Kyle chuckled.

"Don\'t worry. No one will die."

Asher and Bia both glanced at each other. Immediately, they knew the human was up to

something that was definitely not good for their well-being.

Asher looked at Kyle with a tearful gaze. The previous joy in his eyes faded.

"No one will die...? Why do I feel like my life is in danger for some reason now."

Kyle blinked innocently and gave the half-dragon\'s shoulder a reassuring shake. "What are you saying? Don\'t worry, I am sure we will leave this tomb in one piece."

Okay, now Asher was even more scared. The silver-haired human\'s words did nothing to calm

his nerves.

"Just tell me how you plan to open an exit of this tomb?"

Kyle glanced at the sky and shifted the conversation without paying attention to the half-

dragon in a panic.

"Can you sense Alec and the rest? I can\'t spread my senses far due to some reason."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Asher had the urge to smack him but took a deep breath and decided against it.

"I saw Alec a few days back from afar. He was with Carcel and Mia. I didn\'t talked with them

and left them be. Let me see if I can sense some of their presence nearby."

He closed his eyes and extended his senses in all directions. After a few minutes, a look of

surprise appeared on his face.

"Oh, they are all together."

Kyle arched an eyebrow.

"Everyone? I thought they wound be hunting for treasures separately."

Asher shrugged.

"I\'m not sure why they regrouped, but they\'re not too far from us."

Kyle nodded, and the two of them, along with Bia, swiftly departed the area in search of the

others, eventually reaching a familiar rock formation. Kyle extended his senses now that he was near everyone\'s location.

"They are inside the trial grounds."
