Celestial Bloodline

Kyle glanced at the old dwarf.

"I can't sense anyone's soul rank, but I can sense yours because you created a new body for your soul with divine energy after your original body was destroyed. Your soul has not completely settled in this body yet."

Zron's mouth hung open hearing Kyle's words. Indeed, he destroyed his body on the blue planet and built a new one for his soul later, but he never knew people could sense this fact with their senses... Kyle had truly become very dangerous.

'The scariest part is I didn't even feel him checking my soul!'

He let out a tired sigh. A bit relieved inside that Kyle wasn't an enemy.

"I will do what you said. I will increase my physique and soul rank."

Kyle nodded, and immediately a portal materialized in front of everyone.

"Let's go."

He entered the portal, with the others following, and they found themselves in a chamber with only a table in the center. Sinon and the rest approached the table to inspect the treasures it held, while Kyle stooped down to place his hand on the ground beneath him.

He wanted to check if this trial ground contained any ancient memories. However, he didn't sense any ancient symbols that could store memories.

"There's nothing."

Kyle stood up and walked over to the others to see what they found on the table, only to spot a cluster of palm-sized translucent crystals resting on the table. The others were examining the crystals.

Kyle picked up one of the crystals and saw a tiny droplet of something swirling inside. He sensed a tremendous power emanating from the drop but couldn't quite identify it.

"It's strangely smell familiar..."

He muttered quietly, his eyes widening in surprise as he suddenly recognized the moving substance within the crystal.

"Oh, it's a drop of essence. Someone likely extracted it from their body."

Now, the reason behind the familiar scent of the drop within the crystal became clear to him. It was actually a droplet of a transcendent-rank bloodline.

Kyle counted the crystals on the table. There were five crystals.

After hearing his words, Carcel and the others each took one crystal, expecting him to take the last one, but he shook his head.

"I don't need it. I've got something similar that's way more powerful than this tiny drop of essence. But I am curious, who does this essence actually belong to?"

Sinon crushed the crystal in his hand to extract the tiny drop of essence within, and suddenly, an icy aura filled the air. Kyle's eyes flickered with a sudden realization.

"Does this essence belong to the ice enchantress? Her title contained ice within, and this essence holds icy power within."

Sinon's ears perked up at his words. He swiftly conjured a divine energy shield around the drop of icy essence to prevent it from dissipating in the air.

"Ice enchantress?"

Kyle nodded, but his task in this trial ground was complete. He conjured a portal. "Alright guys, I'm off. Take care."

"Hold on!"

Carcel tried to stop him, but he jumped into the portal that scattered into particles.

"Weren't we supposed to search for clues about the tomb's exit...?"

He muttered softly. Kyle did not look the least bit worried even after knowing the tomb is going to explode soon. He sighed and glanced at the others, only to catch Zron red-handed as the latter was secretly trying to pick up the crystal Kyle didn't take.

Carcel's eyebrow twitched as, despite sensing his gaze, the old man swiftly tossed the crystal, along with his own crystal, into his mind space. With a shake of his head, Carcel motioned for everyone to scour the entire chamber for any clues related to the tomb's exit. Having reached the end of the trail ground, if they found no clue here, their journey would have been rather fruitless.

As the group was scouring the chamber that only contained a table in the center for any distinctive symbols or ancient carvings, suddenly Sinon's communication crystal buzzed in his mind space.

The winged demi-human whipped out his communication crystal, only to find that the person reaching out to him was Nine.

Sinon almost fumbled the crystal in his grasp when Nine suddenly shouted asking if they had encountered Kyle.

"Shhh! Don't shout! We did meet him a while back. But he disappeared into a portal."

Nine fell silent for a few moments. He and the others with him had been interrogating Bia to gather all the details about how Kyle encountered Azazeal, so it took them some time to contact the rest.

Carcel, Mia, and Zron gathered around Sinon to understand why Nine was inquiring about Kyle, but when they heard Nine's next words, they were too shocked to respond.

"Azazeal is gonna show up at the tomb soon, and he's coming here for Kyle. We have to find Kyle and stick with him so he doesn't go face Azazeal alone!"

Alright, the crystal in Sinon's hand finally slipped, only to be caught by Carcel, who was also processing Nine's words. Zron's expression went blank as he snatched the crystal from Carcel's hand.

"Which Azazeal...?"

Nine's voice echoed in the air.

"The leader of the shadow generals and the entire dark side. The one we all know! Don't ask any more questions because I can't go into details right now! Just trust me! I'm speaking the

truth!"

The old man's hand shook, and once more, the crystal fell, but Carcel swiftly grabbed it before it could hit the ground and shatter.

Mia glanced at the people around her and swiftly communicated through the crystal.

"Nine, get in touch with Alec right away! If Kyle hasn't already seen him, he's bound to head there! We'll reach out to Alec too!"

Nine swiftly cut the connection, and everyone quickly got in touch with Alec and the others, just to discover that Alec's group had reached made it to the treasure chamber. After finding no hint about the tomb's exit there, they were on their way out, and Kyle didn't join them at

all.
