Celestial Bloodline

On the other hand, Alec and his team were taking care of the third goblin wave, that appeared in the morning. They were all tired but still pushed forward in the hope of finding an exit.

Suddenly, Alec received a notification from the system that made his already irritated expression dark.

Alec looked around in a daze to see when and who killed the Goblin leader. However, all the students were fighting normal (-F)-Rank goblins.

He was sure all the students followed behind them and also he didn't miss any higher Rank Goblins up until now. So, how was it possible for anyone else to kill the Goblin leader?

After a month he finally got a nice mission, but it failed just like that. He wanted nothing more than to beat that person who killed the Goblin leader.

While thinking, Alec ceased fighting. Taking opportunity of his distraction an (-F)-Rank Goblin suddenly attacked him from behind. Lara who was standing not so far from him hurriedly shot an arrow and killed the Goblin before it injured Alec.

She looked at Alec with a frown.

"What are you doing, focus on your back."

Hearing Lara's loud voice, Alec snapped out of his thoughts and sighed before focusing on the battle in front.

Now the mission was already gone, there was nothing he could do. Instead of regretting, it's better to focus on the battle in front.

As everyone continued to fight and struggle, they finally saw some bright light at the opposite end of the tunnel.

Seeing the light, some sighed in relief while some showed happy expressions.

More than half of the students were nobles, for the first time in their lives they experienced how to live without food and a good night's sleep.

They all were exhausted and wanted to leave this damp and dark tunnel as soon as possible.

Still, they didn't know what danger lay outside the tunnel. That's why they approached the light with caution.

Alec and his team moved toward the light first, because they were in front. Not many students stopped them because if there was any danger outside, it was better for someone else to experience it first. Those students just slowly followed behind them.

After a while, Alec and his team saw where the light originated from.

In front of them was a large open area filled with stones of different sizes. At the far end of the open space, there was a huge cave where the light was coming from. It was the same open area where Kyle and Nine appeared before them.

An (-E)-Rank Goblin warrior corpse was lying outside the huge cave. Seeing the corpse, Alec was sure someone else had reached this place before them.

After seeing no danger everyone approached the huge cave, but before they could enter two individuals came out from the cave.

Those two individuals were none other than Nine and Kyle, they just killed the small Goblin and were on their way toward another tunnel.

Nine had a pleasant smile on his face, on the other hand, Kyle was wearing a dark expression.

They both also saw all the students coming out from one of the tunnels. Alec looked at Kyle and Nine, he remembered them. Their performance in the Entrance exam was very good. Afterward, he looked at the huge cave. He was sure they were the ones killing the Goblin leader.

Alec looked at Kyle and questioned,

"Did you kill the Goblin leader?"

Kyle was just going to ignore the huge crowd but hearing Alec's question he stopped and glanced toward him.

"What leader are you ....?"

He stopped midway.

'Didn't we just kill a Goblin?'

Now it all made sense why the small Goblin had a skill core. There was no other path after the cave, which means they were at the end of the 'Goblin Cave'.

Kyle didn't want to believe that Little Goblin was the leader.

Also, how did Alec know that there was a Goblin leader inside the Cave? Including Alec, it was everyone's first time entering the Goblin Cave.

He looked at Alec with suspicion. Nevertheless, he replied;

"You mean that small Goblin? If yes, then we killed it."

Alec sighed and looked toward the huge cave, he knew if Kyle had come out from the cave there was nothing left inside.

Still, some students entered the cave to see if there was something valuable inside, but the cave was empty and there was no other path.

Kyle saw some students looking at him and Nine with surprised expressions because, in contrast to others who were barely standing after fighting the whole night, they were in very good condition.

Not wanting to answer any more questions, Kyle gestured to Nine and both of them started walking toward the second last tunnel.

He wanted to know how Alec knew about the Goblin Leader without even seeing it, but he knew he wouldn't get the answer to his question.

The tunnel from where Nine and Kyle come from and the one where the others come from would not have any Goblin left. That's why Kyle chose the second one.

Soon, both of them enter the tunnel leaving the others behind.

Kyle wasn't bothered by others who were staring at him, there were only a few hours left before the Ranking test was concluded. He wanted to kill as many Goblin as possible.

After they entered the tunnel, Alec looked at the tunnel where they entered before talking to Carcel.

"How about we also continue, only 1-2 hours are left before the Ranking Assessment ends."

Carcel nodded with a serious expression. He had already spent a whole night fighting, so he had no problem fighting for a few more hours.

On the other hand, both Mia and Lara were tired. They looked at Alec with the expression,

'Are you kidding me?'

But they also agreed after hesitating for a while.

Four of them also entered the same tunnel as Kyle and Nine. Some students wanted to follow behind but they were too tired, that's why everyone else decided to rest for half an hour before entering another tunnel.
