Celestial Bloodline

Kyle's thoughts were spiraling out of control, but he halted when he caught sight of Yue's face in the crowd. But his eyes gleamed with darkness as he thought about Ceano who had fled with his life.

"That bastard... It's dangerous for him to remain alive since he knows my secret. I need to locate him and eliminate him as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if I manage to evade him, those around me won't be able to if he targets them..."

He was mumbling under his breath when Elizabeth spoke up again with sparkling bright eyes filled with joy.

"I know Ceano's alive. But the moment his fake body was destroyed, even if his soul escaped, he lost a huge portion of his strength! That means he has to consume many treasures just to regain his real strength! Haha, I can't believe this! I need to share the news of Will's death and Ceano's weakened strength with everyone! We need to hunt Ceano to eliminate him before he regains all his strength!"

Kyle raised a brow at her words and observed as she extended her hand, likely to retrieve a communication crystal from her mind space, but all her strength was constrained within the chains binding her body. Her laughter vanished quicker than it emerged, and she gazed at him earnestly.

"Well, now that you are done. I believe you should release us all."

Amidst the joy in her eyes from Will's demise, a touch of severity remained. She was very happy that a powerful ally has emerged to fight the dark side with her and James. However, she felt the need to discipline this human to ensure no one would ever dare to turn the Gladiator Arena into their personal battleground again!

Kyle blinked slowly. He would be a fool to set them all free knowing they would all turn against him the moment he did. After all, he had caused such a massive commotion in front of everyone.

He shot one last glance at the people from the dark side and decided to leave them all to Elizabeth and the individuals in robes to deal with. With both shadow generals now absent from the Gladiator Arena, he knew they could handle them. He shook his head at Elizabeth with a sigh.

"Unfortunately, it is not up to me to release you all. It's only possible when the array in the sky loses all its strength."

Elizabeth stared at his back with suspicion, but it's not like she could argue with him when, right now, he had the power to wipe out every single person in the Arena. Kyle started floating in the air, and her eyebrow twitched violently with disbelief when she saw the silver-haired man flick his fingers to release his friends who were also bound in chains. She shouted with frustration.

"You liar!!"

Kyle tilted his head back to stare at her with an innocent expression, further increasing her frustration.

"When did I lie, I wonder?"

As he freed his friends from those chains, the first one to let loose a string of curses was none other than Bia. She zoomed towards him, eyes blazing with anger.

-"You jerk! You dare to leave me out of the battle and bind this majestic me? I am gonna take you on!"

She slammed her small body into his stomach with full force, and Kyle just let her be. A small oof escaped his lips because she really did use a lot of strength to crash into him. His eyes returned to normal, and he let out a chuckle as he grabbed her.

After Bia, the others also surrounded him with aggrieved expressions and just wanted to give him a good beating for lying to them about fighting together, only to leave them out of the battle in the end! However, after witnessing Kyle's strength, no one dared to actually hit him, and they all just expressed their grievances with words.

Kyle glanced at Yue, who hurrmped at him and snapped her head away from his gaze to indicate she wouldn't talk with him. It was at that moment that suddenly Nine appeared before Kyle with seething eyes.

Jian, Sinon, Regius, the girls, and the three old men quickly retreated when they caught sight of Nine's enraged eyes fixed on Kyle. Nine lowered his gaze and adjusted his sleeves while muttering under his breath.

"How many times... Just how many times have I called your name..."

His voice sounded hoarse and dry as if he had shouted until his throat was parched, and then, much to everyone's shock, he raised his fist to punch Kyle in the face.

Kyle's eyes narrowed at the punch aimed at his precious face, and just before Nine's fist could connect, he vanished from his spot. Nine let out a menacing laugh.

"Oh, you wanna play it like this, huh? Alright, as you wish! I won't stop until I land a few punches on you because I know, I know as a supreme rank, you could hear my shouts loud and clear! You bastard!"

Bia quickly regained her balance in mid-air with a curse when Kyle disappeared. Carcel, who was hovering toward Kyle from behind, swiftly moved away from Nine's path as the latter quickly maneuvered behind Kyle, who had reappeared in the distance.

Kyle stared at the fist now aimed at his stomach and swiftly dodged with a bewildered expression.

"What happened!?"

He backed off, dodging another punch once more. The pair kept arguing in the air, with Nine desperately trying to land a hit on Kyle, but then all of a sudden Lara intervened with a concerned look. She glanced at the ball of icy blue flames above in the sky and asked the silver-haired man about Alec.

Kyle followed her gaze and rubbed his nose as Nine glared at him from a distance. The expression on the brown-haired man's face showed that he wouldn't calm down until he landed at least one punch on him.

But Kyle didn't understand why he was so angry... Alright, he admits that even though he faintly heard Nine calling out to him, he ignored the man, but why does he want to hit him? He shifted his body to avoid Nine's potential attack while distracted and responded to Lara.

"He's fine... and I suppose it's time for him to emerge from the nightmare."

Lara blinked as he flicked his fingers, and the ball of icy flames in the sky scattered in different directions.

In the next second, Alec's hovering body dropped toward the ground. Immediately, Nine and all the others rushed toward Alec to grab his dropping body because they could see his eerily pale complexion and tightly shut eyes. Kyle slowly followed behind them and silently murmured.

"He still hasn't woken up? Just what is he seeing in the nightmare?"
