Chapter 320 Help your pitiful friends
Alec and Lara together pushed back the pointy earth shreds thrown at them. Alec scoffed at the winged man opposite him as he wiped the blood trickling down his cheek.
He raised his sword to attack again but a huge shadow materialized above him. With a back flip, he snapped his eyes up, only to see a familiar pair of bright red wings.
"Bia?"
Immediately, Alec let out a chuckle.
"The battle is going to end earlier than my expectations."
For some reason, after he and the others left Kyle, they heard the news that all the outsiders were gathered in the east.
Why? It's because an unknown, supposedly very strong individual asked someone to spread the word that the east side is safe.
The same person also asked everyone to form teams, in that way, they would be able to fight the winged creatures easily. Alec would be lying if he said he was not surprised to see so many people gathered together without caring about their race.
Still, the peace did not last long because just like the outsiders, a few people from the dark race also traveled to the east. It did not stop at that and just within a day countless dark-race people flocked toward the east.
That's why Alec and the gathered individuals had no other choice but to start a full-blown battle with them.
Lara blinked at Alec's smiling face and followed his gaze, only to see a familiar fire phoenix flying above them.
Her eyes widened slightly but then a faint smile spread across her face.
'Bia has transformed into a true phoenix.'
Just like the duo, many heads snapped up to see the beautiful phoenix flying across the sky.
Crimson flames flickered gently behind the majestic beast as it made its way down.
Someone from the dark race cried out loudly at one of his fellow men.
"Why is the Leader not here yet!? We will be wiped out at this rate! Go send another signal through the artifact!"
However, the one he had been speaking to was attacked by a few demi-humans and lost his life even before he could reply.
Among the many people, Nine and Jian both gazed at each other when they saw Bia. A wide grin spread across Jian's face as he waved at Bia with enthusiasm.
"Kyle and Bia are here! Haha, the battle is gonna end now!"
Nine gave him a quick nod and together the duo kicked the winged man they were fighting.
"You bet. Also, if Kyle is here, does that mean the leader of the dark race has kicked the bucket?"
Jian's ears perked up.
"A pity I was not able to witness it."
Just like them, all those who knew Kyle personally were sure the battle they had been fighting for so many hours would end the moment Kyle stepped in.
Yet, for some strange reason, instead of landing on the ground, the phoenix circled above their heads, occasionally throwing fireballs here and there. Also, the said person who would end the battle was nowhere to be seen.
Alec's brows knitted together.
"Is Bia alone? Where is Kyle?"
A few pairs of concerned eyes traveled toward him with the same question but he had no answer.
At the same time, in the sky, Bia's body tensed when Kyle grabbed her neck feathers. At first, she dived down toward Mia the moment she saw her fighting with an ugly man, but the tiny kid sitting on her back stopped her immediately.
'Don't you dare to go down? They can handle it!'
Kyle cried out in his mind. No way, he would go down. What if someone accidentally stepped on him and he lost his precious body parts?
He shuddered at the thought.
'We will help them from above!'
In the distance, hidden behind a faint mana layer, Haylee let out a sigh. He gazed at the three people floating around him and with a wave of his paw, the shields around their bodies crumbled, startling Seraphine, Sen, and Lucus out of their stupor.
The trio closed their eyes, bracing themselves for a big fall, but to their surprise, their bodies gently landed on the grass bathed in blood.
Seraphine blinked but her relief was short-lived because a winged female attacked her from behind.
Due to the unexpected attack, she was not able to dodge on time and her body toppled backward.
"Ahhh, help me!"
She screamed for help, but the air was filled with the sound of clashing weapons. That's why her cry went unnoticed.
Her eyes went wide with horror when the winged female clawed toward her chest but before the latter pointy nails could touch her, Bia appeared between them and crimson flames surged around her wings.
The winged female from the dark race constructed a water shield to stop the crimson flames but her shield evaporated into thin air due to intense heat. She held out her hand to construct another shield but then suddenly a sea of blue flames enclosed her body in a cold embrace.
Her cries echoed through the air, sending chills down the spines of all who heard them. The sheer desperation in her voice was palpable. Many people stopped in their attacks when a glistening ice sculpture reflected in their eyes.
Sweat trickled down the onlookers' foreheads because, under their shocked gaze, the once-glistening ice sculpture crumbled into faint particles and vanished into thin air.
Kyle's eyes traveled to the girl who was supposed to be Nine's sister. She wiped her hands and gazed at him with moist eyes.
Seraphine opened her mouth with a sweet smile.
"Thank you."
Even though her clothes and hair were unkept, she looked stunning with a smile.
Kyle did not say anything and pointed his small finger behind her.
Immediately she turned around and saw another person attacking her from behind but this time she was prepared. Moreover, Sen jumped in to help her.
Bia flapped her wings and soared into the air. Yet, for a second, her eyes reflected pity for Seraphine.
-'If only she could hear you right now.'
Kyle's eyes traveled down on the battlefield with a frown.
'What are you talking about? I am only stating the facts. She is too weak. I doubt she is Nine's sister.'
Bia's gaze wandered off to Seraphine and the pity in her eyes doubled. Still, she did not dare to voice her opinion to Kyle.
-'Her eyes are not even hiding the fact that she is flirting with Kyle...'
After the blue flames appeared, those who recognized them were certain that Kyle had used them. They believed he was riding on Bia's back, but why the hell did he not jump down to help them!? Also, the last they saw him, he could fly on his own. So, why the hell is he riding on Bia?
Jian could not take it anymore when he was flung backward due to a sudden attack. He raised his angry eyes and pointed his trembling finger at Bia.
"Kyle my brother! If you are here just help your pitiful friends! Why the hell are you only helping pretty girls?"
Opposite him, Sia's fox ears perked up. She locked her gaze on the majestic phoenix and casually rolled up one of her sleeves, revealing a tiny scratch.
"Ah... my arm is hurt!"
She cried out with a pitiful voice. After all, she was one hundred percent confident in her beauty.
The moment her voice drifted off, Kyle's eyebrow twitched violently but he still refused to go down. Instead, he used his flames to enclose the dark race people from time to time.
After trying for one more time, Sia clicked her tongue and jumped on her feet. Beside her, Yue's eyes flickered with conflicted emotions as she gazed at her shameless friend.
"Are you done?"
Sia gathered her smooth hair on her shoulders and raised her spear with a smile.
"Should I try one more time? Maybe he did not hear me?"
Yue rolled her eyes and focused on her opponent.
Just like Jian, there was another person who seemed dissatisfied with Kyle.
Nine eyes narrowed at the phoenix as he distanced himself from his opponent. He waved his hand in the air.
"Bia, come down. I want to see if he is alright."
A concerned expression appeared on his face. Did Kyle possibly lose one of his legs or arms while fighting with the dark race leader?
Bia gazed down at his figure with a sigh.
-'Kyle, should I go down?'
Kyle massaged his temples with a groan.
'Why the hell do they want to see me so badly?'
He tapped her neck with a sigh.
'Let me down but make sure to stay with me.'
With a hum, the phoenix dive down straight toward Nine. Her wings spread out to clear the space around them when her body landed in front of Nine.
A pair of bright eyes stared at Nine and with a tilt of her head, she lowered one of her wings so Kyle could step down.
Kyle secured his large sleeves one last time and steeled his expression. He wanted to jump down but stopped because it would be very tragic if he got injured in front of Nine.
Amidst the sounds of weapons and battle cries, a few eyes snapped toward Bia as Kyle gingerly left her back and gazed at Nine.
At first, Nine blinked with disbelief. Slowly, he eyed him from head to toe with shock.
"Wait? When did Kyle have a son?"
Kyle closed his eyes and opened them again with a blank expression.
"What son are you talking about? It's me, I can not tell you the details now. That's why, stop gawking at me and go fight with the others!"
After staring at Kyle for a few seconds, Nine broke out into a fit of laughter.
"Wait wait... Kyle.. how the hell did you manage to turn into a five-year-old kid just in a few days?"
He grabbed his stomach and laughed out loud amidst the heavy atmosphere around him. His loud exclamation echoed in all directions.
The eyes staring at Kyle were also shocked. Yet, unlike Nine, they were too occupied to comment.
Frustration etched on Kyle's face as he stomped toward Nine with a hard expression. He flicked his sleeves and smacked him but Nine did not even flinched under the weight of his tiny hand.
Nine clapped his mouth shut when Kyle stared at him with a deep expression. Still, instead of intimidating his eyes looked rather adorable.
