Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 528 At least, I didn't die

?A frown was visible on Kyle's face as he gazed at the man sprawled before him. He got the answer to his first question, albeit somewhat vague. Perhaps the vagueness stemmed from his missing memories. The man disclosed his name and mentioned a planet known as the 'blue planet,' the birthplace of both him and Kyle.

Subsequently, he explained that their enmity was minimal since they had never formally crossed paths, except Leroy messed with the ethereal tunnel before leaving the blue planet. So, if someone attempted to use the tunnel to reach the Sacred Divine Land after him, they would either die or become lost in the vast universe if they were sucked into the messed-up ethereal tunnel.

The man did this to get back at his old enemy, Odiak, and planned to kill as many of the guardians of the Tower of Opportunity as possible.

Kyle let out a sigh, completely unaware of who these guardians were. However, one thing was certain — he had finally discovered his place of origin.

He quickly asked Leroy if the man had any knowledge about his family, friends, or acquaintances he had on the blue planet, but the man shook his head. Leroy only knew a thing or two about Kyle, mostly what he heard from Istalian.

Kyle's interest was piqued when all of a sudden the man hesitatedly shared information about his bonded beast. He was genuinely surprised to discover that it was not a muscular dark beast as he had thought but a beautiful fire phoenix.

"Bia... you say?"

He rolled the name on his tongue, and it felt more familiar than he expected. Almost as if he had called this name numerous times in the past. Kyle's demeanor relaxed a bit as he began to exert a little pressure on his head to remember anything about Bia, but unfortunately, even after a long minute, he had no recollection of the phoenix.

Now, he was curious and eager to see the phoenix, but his eyes darkened when he saw the man before him, who once again attempted to flee when he got distracted. Kyle let out a chuckle and stood up to gaze at the man's crawling figure.

"You didn't lie, I could see it from your body language, but that ethereal tunnel you mentioned... you know, I just formed a bad theory in my head. Do you want to hear it?"

Leroy clenched his fists when Kyle planted his foot on his back. Instantly, a bad premonition welled up inside his heart. He gritted his teeth and used all his willpower to retrieve the round teleportation bead he had found in his mind space after searching for so long.

His eyes lit up as he grasped the small white bead in his palm. Now, he would finally be able to break free from the silver-haired man's grip! He watched with bated breath as a few symbols illuminated above his clenched fist, but before the symbols could teleport him... Kyle casually flicked the symbols away with a bored expression.

Leroy's heart sank as Kyle grabbed his hand and peeled open his fingers to snatch the white bead. The silver-haired man clicked his tongue and threw the bead away.

"Just some low-rank symbols? I thought you would have a better trick up your sleeve to get out of this. Also, it's a shame you are not interested in hearing my theory."

Kyle placed his hand over the man's head, and unlike the first time, this time, sending his spiritual energy into another person's body to completely erase their memories and consciousness was rather smooth.

At first, Leroy was a bit confused, but when the pain hit him, he started screaming, yet Kyle's eyes remained eerily calm. After a few seconds, a light tainted with darkness left the man's body, and Kyle sensed that the latter had stopped breathing.

Kyle stepped back from the man's body and watched as blue flames engulfed the body before it transformed into an ice sculpture that disintegrated into particles and drifted into the air. The moment Leroy spoke about the blue planet, the ethereal tunnel, and how the man messed it up, Kyle connected the dots between the various incidents.

He couldn't recall how he ended up in the No Mana Land, and all he knew was what Hubert had told him — that the villagers found him in a bloodied state. But now he understood, and he was confident his theory was completely accurate.

Kyle, whether alone or with others, attempted to use the ethereal tunnel after Leroy, and the tunnel exploded. In the end, out of the two possible outcomes - death or being sucked into the tunnel - the latter likely happened to him. He was sucked into the ethereal tunnel and somehow ended up in the No Mana Land.

"At least, I didn't die."

He shook his head with a wry chuckle and glanced at the large silver gate that stood slightly ajar across from him.

After pondering for a moment, Kyle approached the door, but he didn't go inside the tomb. Instead, he gripped the silver door and spread out his scent perception skill. Before, he couldn't figure out what was in the different chambers he sensed buried underground due to the barriers around them. But now, as he stood in front of one of those chambers with the door open, he effortlessly extended his skill inside to explore its contents.

Kyle's nose wrinkled because the smell inside was ten times stronger than outside, especially the scent of decay and death. It was almost as if he was sensing remnants of someone. After a while, he let out a sigh and withdrew his skill because all the treasures within the chamber were linked to spiritual energy. Plus, even if there were treasures that contained divine energy, they weren't particularly useful to him.

He stepped away from the silver gate and closed it shut before walking toward the exit of the place, but at that moment, he saw a familiar small floating body of light approaching him from the distance.

Kyle clicked his tongue and this time just flicked the mystical spirit away with an annoyed expression.

"I don't want any more bugs around me."

He blinked and vanished from his spot, heading straight toward the presence he had marked. After all, the night was long, and it's not like he was sleepy.
