Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 229 It's a monster horde!

Kyle ignored Regius's shouts and his eyes narrowed at the flying monsters coming toward the mountain. The monsters in the forest were climbing up as well. If it continues like this soon the whole mountain would be surrounded.

'I think we can't escape we have to fight.'

He could sense the monsters were weak. However, their huge number was something very alarming.

A lot of running participants gazed at his figure with different emotions flashing through their eyes, astonishment, shock, disdain, and curiosity.

While walking, Kyle abruptly turned his head to look at an elf girl staring at him with fluttering eyes. Her long frost hair was tied in a pony.

She was running upward with ragged breathing but her lavender eyes were fixed on Kyle.

Kyle would usually ignore this type of situation but his gaze traveled to the honey-haired girl running beside her and he gave the girls a polite nod.

The frost-haired girl blurted out loudly.

"OMG! That silver-haired human is so handsome and pretty!"

"Lumi!"

Yue shouted with gritted teeth and dragged her idiot friend up. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to shove something inside Lumi's mouth to shut her up.

Many running participants turned around to look at the two girls with conflicted emotions. They were running for life and someone just won a beauty due to his own beauty? How envious!

Kyle's eyebrow twitched and he instantly regretted his decision to nod at them.

He retracted his eyes and started running again but he could hear some noises behind him.

The two girls were probably bickering at each other. Amidst the many sounds and voices, he heard the name 'Yue' and raised his brow.

'So, her name is Yue.'

Kyle mused in his mind and to the participant's surprise he disappeared from his spot.

Regius looked back at the place where Kyle disappeared and grumbled.

"What the hell is he planning? I know he is strong... but it's too dangerous."

He stopped running and waved at his group members.

"Guys stop running. I think something is wrong with the monsters. They are climbing up as well."

Izil arrived beside him with ragged breathing. His cyan eyes glowed for a second and he looked at Regius with a pale expression.

"You are right. I can see the monsters climbing the mountain from the front. Not to mention the hundreds of flying monsters, even if reached the top of the mountain I don't think we can stay safe for long."

Regius nodded with a grim expression.

"I noticed the monsters following behind us were different from the ones we fought before. Their eyes were not focused and they just crushed everything in their path without caring about their life."

Yue and Lumi arrived beside the duo and heard their conversation. A flash of shock passed through Yue's eyes when she understood the current situation.

"Senior.... I am not sure but according to your description doesn't this scenario look a little familiar to the ones we read in the history books? I am not sure if it's possible in this place but what if... it's a monster horde?"

Yue's pupil trembled at her own theory and Regius turned around to look at her with stunned eyes.

"Wait...Wait! All this is very similar to a monster horde but how is this possible when we are in a testing space?"

Regius shut his mouth when everything clicked in. They were in a testing space! Does that mean the people in charge created this scenario to make the test difficult?

He cursed under his breath and gazed at the monsters.

"If it's a monster horde. There is no point in running anymore because the monsters will never retreat. Instead, they will turn everything upside down. I don't know if I should be happy that there is no 'Monster Lord' controlling this horde?"

Izil sucked in a cold breath. Was the Kingdom trying to kill them all? Or else why would they set up such a dangerous test?

Faith and Niamh appeared beside them and Regius raised his voice to shout at the top of his lungs to gather all the running participant's attention.

"Everyone there is no point in running! It's a monster horde! If you don't want to be eliminated gather together and be ready to fight! Or else we are all doomed!"

Among the two hundred or something running participants only those who had some braincells stopped to look at Regius with wide eyes.

There was hesitation in their eyes but when they saw the hundreds of monsters they gritted their teeth and moved closer to Regius.

Soon, a large group of participants was formed and Regius was standing in front of them.

They watched as many monsters rushed at them with incredible speed. However, they steeled their resolve to fight!

Meanwhile, Kyle indeed had the gist of what was happening behind him but when he arrived at the bottom of the mountain his attention was grabbed by a lone demi-human fighting with the monsters with gritted teeth.

Kyle eyed the pair of horns coming out from his head but his eyes went wide when he saw a pair of folded black wings behind his back.

The black-haired demi-human looked engrossed as he punched one monster after another. He was wearing something hard on his knuckles to make his punches more dangerous.

At the same time, the demi-human ears twitched when he heard the faint rustling sound behind him. He kicked the monster he was fighting and turned around to kick the one behind him but when he saw Kyle's figure he stopped with a frown.

"What are you doing here human? Leave it's dangerous."

Contrary to his arrogant expression his voice came out rather calm. Kyle's eyes were glued to the pair of wings behind his back.

"Umm, can you fly?"

"You!"

The demi-human was speechless but then he eyed a cat monster leaping at Kyle from behind. He was already low on mana but he jumped and stretched out his hand to grab Kyle's shoulder as he wanted to push him away from the attack rage but to his surprise, Kyle easily dodged his hand and moved away.

The demi-human blinked his eyes and looked at Kyle with a daze but then he crashed into a tree with a bang.

"Fuck!"

A curse slipped out from his mouth and his eyes widened with horror when he saw the same monster who wanted to attack Kyle pounce at him with incredible speed.

He clenched his fists and placed his arms in front of his face for defense but the attack he waited for never came. Instead, a loud painful cry sounded in front of him.

He removed his arms and saw something that made his jaw drop. Instead of a monster, a glistening ice statue was standing in front of him.

Cold aura seeped out from the ice statue and he could see the horror and pain within those frozen eyes.

A curious voice sounded in his ears.

"Are you alright?"

In the next second, in front of his stunned eyes, the ice statue broke down into many tiny pieces.
