Celestial Bloodline

After Kyle entered the tunnel, he arrived in another room but it was completely different from the last room.

In front of him was a giant black door. All the walls of the room were also completely black. If not for the hundreds of candles hanging on the walls, Kyle wouldn't have been able to see anything.

He stepped forward and gazed at the black door. There were a lot of strange shapes carved within the door. 

Kyle touched the empty shapes and after a minute he raised his brow with surprise.

"It's good I picked up those broken vase pieces."

He took out the vase pieces he picked up from the last room and placed them inside the empty shapes present on the door.

With a click, the vase pieces merged with the door and the black door turned silver.

"Isn't it going to open?"

Kyle questioned with a frown because the door just changed color and didn't open.

After a few seconds, suddenly the door lit up and a large board came out from the door.

With wide eyes, Kyle hurriedly jumped back and the whiteboard landed in front of the door.

Kyle gazed at the board with caution. Bia also stopped flying and landed on Kyle's head to look at the board. 

It was square shaped just like a small square platform. Just like the door, there were many carved shapes present on the board. Also, a lot of differently shaped colorful pieces were scattered on top of the board.

Bia narrowed her eyes. There were at least one hundred pieces.

"I think we need to place the pieces in the right place."

Kyle said with a sigh. He didn't expect to see another puzzle after he placed the vase pieces inside the door.

-'It's going to take a lot of time just to sort out all the pieces.'

Bia gazed at the pieces and started flying before landing on top of the whiteboard.

She started flipping the pieces with her feet curiously.

Kyle also sat down in front of the board. With a serious expression, he picked up a puzzle piece and after finding the right carved shape present on the board, he placed the piece on the board.

With a click, the piece merged with the board indicating that Kyle placed it in the right spot.

It was hard to find the correct place for the puzzle pieces but after looking at the shapes of the puzzle pieces, Kyle soon got the hang of it. 

After a few minutes, he became engrossed in solving the puzzle presented on the board because he felt like it was interesting. 

Now, he was looking forward to the picture the puzzle would show him after he placed all the pieces in the correct place.

Soon, Bia who was playing around with the puzzle pieces also started helping Kyle because she was getting bored.

While both of them were engrossed in the puzzle, two hours passed within the blink of an eye and Jian and Alec arrived at the same room.

They looked around and immediately spotted Kyle's figure sitting in front of a large board. Alec was going to call out Kyle's name but Kyle stood up and exclaimed with a smile.

"It's finally complete!"

Kyle's hands were aching but he was smiling while looking at the board. After all the pieces were placed on the right spot the board showed a beautiful picture of a flower vase.

In the next moment, under everyone's gaze, the board started floating. The picture of the vase present on the board shone brightly and the board merged with the silver door.

With a click, the large silver door in front of Kyle opened, revealing another path.

"Good job!"

Jian exclaimed with a smirk and placed his hand on Kyle's shoulder who was staring at the opened door.

Kyle blinked his eyes and looked at the duo who just arrived. 

".."

'Why do I feel like they got the benefits from my hard work?'

Kyle exclaimed inwardly and shook his head.

"It's good both of you are alive."

He said with a light chuckle because just a few hours ago he left them behind.

While Alec, Jian, and Kyle were standing in front of the door. Bia flew inside the door but within a second she returned with a serious expression.

-'Hey Kyle, I think we should return from where we came from.'

She said inside her head before hurriedly sitting on top of Kyle's head.

"Huh?"

Kyle looked at Bia's strange behavior and started walking toward the opened door. Alec and Jian also followed behind Kyle.

They entered the door and their eyes widened. Jian's jaw almost dropped.

"What the hell?"

He exclaimed loudly.

In front of them was a large lava lake. Various steam bubbles were pooping out from the lake. A narrow bridge was present on top of the lake but hundreds of fire snakes were jumping around the bridge.

Kyle took a deep breath and hurriedly calculated the size of the lava lake but after a minute his expression turned sour.

'I can't use 'Instant Teleportation'. It's too far away!'

The lava lake was double the size of the hall Kyle crossed previously. He was thinking of leaving the duo behind again but it was impossible now.

Also, the fire snakes present inside the lake were giving off terrifying auras. They were all (D)-Rank!

With a sigh, Alec looked at Jian and Kyle.

"It seems if we want to reach the end of the lake we have to work together."

Jian nodded but then he looked at Kyle.

"Only if 'someone' doesn't disappear in the middle."

Kyle looked back at Jian. He knew very well who was this 'someone'.

"Don't worry even if the 'someone' you are talking about wants to, he can't."

Kyle said and shrugged his shoulders. He was indeed thinking of leaving them behind but unfortunately, because of the large distance, he wasn't able to use the skill.

Alec looked at Kyle and Jian and started moving toward the bridge present on the lava lake.

"Let's not waste time then."
