Celestial Bloodline

The air shook with a booming laugh as Diora floated in mid-air and stared at the two people who stepped out from a portal that materialized before her. Her eyes were completely black, filled with madness. She knew she had gone too far and had lost a lot of her divine energy by aimlessly running around, only to be thrown into a distant place over and over again.

But no matter what, she couldn't accept that these little ants in front of her had killed Hay and were not dying under her power.

"You two need to die... die..."

Diora muttered under her breath and locked her eyes on Alec and Kyle. After mumbling for a few seconds, her eyes cleared up a little as she let out a breath and finally started to process what the heck she had been doing for the whole day.

She, the one who should have been playing with the people on this planet, was the one who got played. How ironic.

The pair of pitch black eyes started to regain its color, and soon her pupils returned to normal with a hint of earthy color in between.

Diora's eyes scanned Kyle and Alec as they both held swords in their hands. The duo seemed out of place on this small planet, with their otherworldly appearance. And their strength... why were they so powerful and possessed such unique skills if they were just ordinary people living on a hidden, forgotten planet?

The one with bright silver hair wore an emotionless expression on his handsome face, while the other with deep blue hair had a cold expression on his handsome face as they focused their gaze on her. They were probably ready to attack her, right? As her eyes landed on Alec, a mocking laugh unexpectedly escaped her lips.

Kyle, who was about to vanish, suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes narrowing at the woman floating opposite him.

"I wonder if she had finally lost her mind?"

He voiced his thoughts so Alec could hear, but Diora actually started speaking after hearing his words.

"Haha, I wonder too... Did I lose my mind or not? But you know what? The fact that I'm fighting someone who, in the end, is one of us, it's what's making me laugh at myself."

Diora tilted her head and her lips curled upward as she watched Alec's face crumbling under her gaze.

"I also wonder how your friends who know you will feel after they find out you sold your-!"

Her words were abruptly cut off because she wasn't able to react on time when Alec left his spot with lightning-fast speed. He grabbed her mouth to silence her, then promptly threw her backward, causing her body to stumble in mid-air.

Diora gazed at the pair of angry eyes staring back at her, as if challenging her to speak one more word, and he would make her regret ever being born. She attempted to fix her disheveled clothes with a snicker, but they were already torn in multiple spots, so she decided to leave them as they were.

An evil smile played on her face. She was mocking the audacity of the human who dared to challenge her with that look even though he knew he had no chance of winning against her.

"I have to admit, now that I am tired, my reflexes are getting slower and slower."

Alec didn't dare to look back at Kyle, who was floating behind him. He just wanted to finish off the woman in front of him, but he knew that even though he caught her off guard earlier, he wouldn't be able to defeat her head-on.

He held onto his sword tightly and waited for Kyle to question him about what Diora was talking about. But little did he know, after hearing Diora's useless screams so many times, Kyle didn't even care about what she was blabbering anymore. Plus, her voice sounded too hoarse for his comfort.

'Why's he so quiet?'

Alec got his answer when the ground beneath him and Diora started glowing with countless symbols that were trembling ominously. The dark space lit up with the brightness spilling from the symbols.

"Huh?"

Diora glanced at the symbols too, and unlike Alec, she felt a chill run down her spine when she noticed how intensely the symbols were trembling.

She didn't know much about arrays or symbols, but one thing she knew for sure was that symbols weren't supposed to be stacked on top of each other! Not to mention so many destructive symbols!

The woman cried out, with only one thought in her head. She needs to run far away from this place. However, in that moment, Kyle's familiar voice finally sounded behind Alec.

"Done, the array activated successfully. Now we just need to make her stay above the array for a minute!"

Alec snapped his head back, but Kyle had already vanished from his spot. In the next second, he appeared beside Diora, who tried to leave the place.

Kyle raised his sword, and a loud sound echoed in the air when his blade clashed with the woman's pointy nails. He gazed at Alec and shouted with furrowed brows.

"Hey, what are you waiting for? Help me!"

Alec nodded and let out a sigh of relief before quickly joining Kyle. Diora's eyes trembled as she felt the symbols beneath her turning more and more violet with each passing second.

The woman screamed and unleashed her divine aura, launching powerful attacks on the two humans. However, Alec gritted his teeth and attacked her from behind.

The sounds of swords clashing against something solid filled the air.

The moon shone brightly through the gaps in the dark clouds, and the brightly lit symbols illuminated the fast and almost blurry movements of the three people fighting in mid-air.

Kyle's eyes were fixed on the woman as his sword moved swiftly, and the tip became blurry. Diora dodged Alec's attack and attempted to grab Kyle's sword, but her eyes widened when the blade changed direction in mid-air. A loud cry escaped her mouth as the blade pierced her shoulder.
