Celestial Bloodline

Kyle didn't reply as he stared at the floating man with emotionless eyes.

The intense flames around Bia's body dimmed at the speed visible to one eye as she dived down and stopped above Kyle's head.

A gorgeous scene reflected inside the crowd's stunned eyes. A cold handsome figure stood firmly in front of the huge trembling realm gate. His features were sharp and due to the bright flames around the phoenix's body, he looked imposing and majestic.

However, just like a mirage the image disappeared in the second. The remaining flames around Bia vanished. She cried out faintly and hurriedly controlled her mana to regain her former appearance.

It was astonishing how such a large beast turned into a tiny bird and obediently landed on Kyle's head.

Kyle's green eyes flashed with a brilliant light when Bia came closer to him. He sucked in a deep breath because he could feel it. His bond with Bia got stronger due to some reason. It was like a part of him recognized her as a true companion.

Bia stayed silent because she knew she messed up. Kyle would probably beat her up once they were alone. She quietly made herself invisible by hiding herself in his hoodie.

Kyle looked up at the floating navy-haired man who helped him out of nowhere. Now, if he wanted he could use 'Instant Teleportation' and easily enter the Relam gate without any difficulty but he knew the man wasn't simple. That's why he waited.

Hushed curious murmurs echoed in the air with thousands of eyes staring at Kyle.

Istalian smile widened because Kyle didn't even flinch under his gaze.

'He is worthy of such a powerful beast.'

The moment the Phoneix started flying, he sensed it immediately due to the flames around its body. They were too violent and destructive. Moreover, the young beast was already (C+)-Rank, a testament to its future potential. Istalian would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted to just steal it away but after thinking for a few seconds he decided against it.

Right now it was impossible for him to make a bond with any type of beast because the shadow placed a mark on his body. The mark was too dangerous and could meddle with his strength. It would probably affect his bonded beast as well. Also, he knew if he forcefully broke their bond it would do more bad than good.

He scoffed at the old individuals who tried to harm the beast.

'If I can't get it why should I give you all the permission to lay your hand on it?'

His expression was solemn as he looked around.

"It seems the matter is resolved. The beast went to its owner. Hurry up and gather the kids. There is no time to waste because with each passing second many resources are being wasted to maintain the passage leading to the secret realm."

The old individuals looked dumbfounded at his words. Especially the ones from the Central Continent. They knew Istalian personality. The man would never let go of anything precious so why was he helping an unknown kid? Still, they held back their opinions and immediately went to do their jobs.

Istalian gazed at Kyle with curious eyes.

'Strange I can't sense his rank.'

He thought for a second and spoke inside Kyle's mind.

'I don't know if you will return alive or not but remember you own me one.'

Kyle took a deep breath and gave him a nod. As long as the navy-haired man didn't harm him he would remember his help.

Istalian clapped his hands and shouted once again.

"Hurry up start with the group nearest to the realm gate and send the kids inside."

Amidst all this, he didn't forget to remember the face of the old man who opened the secret realm gate and wasted a lot of his resources.

Elder Han shuddered when he sensed a dark gaze looming around his back. He snapped back to look around but found no culprit.

Kyle gazed at the thousands of young individuals rushing toward the realm. He sighed inwardly.

'I wanted to meet my friends but it is not possible anymore.'

He thanked the principal who was looking at him with conflicted emotions. Kyle's eyes trailed to Elder Han who was staring daggers at him.

He chuckled and waved his hand at the old man. After another breath, he gazed at the crackling gate in front of him.

Dark ominous energy seeped out from the gate and for some reason, Kyle felt sick just staring at it. He shook his head and grabbed the quite little troublemaker sitting on his head.

"Let's go."

In the next second, under many eyes, he jumped into the circular opening present in the middle of the realm gate.

After he disappeared, one after another many batches of youngsters jumped into the realm gate.

At a distance, where the people from the mermaid Kingdom were standing.

Nine let out a bitter chuckle. After seeing Kyle, he recalled the recent fragments of memories he saw. He sighed.

'Kyle is getting stronger. Also, his hair...'

His thoughts were disturbed when a pale hand grabbed his shoulder. Nine expression hardened.

"What is it Seraphine?"

The owner of the hand giggled with a bright smile. A red-haired girl with deep golden eyes stared at him with an amused smile.

"Brother, why are you always so cold?"

Nine didn't reply and just scoffed in his mind. He was forced to enter the realm with them even when he rejected them. He didn't know the reason why Seraphine the future Queen insisted that he should go with her.

Just like Nine, she could foresee future events but her ability was stronger. However, she always misused it. That's why Nine didn't feel comfortable around her.

'No matter what I won't contact anyone after I entered the secret realm.'

If one looked closely, one would notice his shaking fingers. The damage caused by his last vision wasn't completely healed yet.

The girl was persistent. She chuckled when Nine ignored her so bluntly.

"Do you know that silver-haired boy? I saw you smile after he entered the realm safely."

Nine didn't even think twice and immediately lied with a serious face.

"I don't know."

The girl hummed and even though she knew Nine was lying she questioned him for the time being. Anyway, she knew more than him.

Her eyes sparkled when she thought about the silver-haired boy.

'It's him. I wonder if he can really achieve what I saw or is it just an illusion. The future is indeed unpredictable.'

Seraphine watched the youths entering the secret realm with curiosity.

At the same time, an old man from the Kingdom Soltecia approached their group with a smile.

He introduced himself as Gafear and brought a lot of young individuals with him. He was tasked by Istalian to make sure the kids from the mermaid Kingdom got familiar with the youths from Kingdom Soltecia. After all, all of them had to work together in the realm.

Seraphine smiled beautifully in front of everyone because she had to keep her image as the future Queen of the mermaid Kingdom but her eyes reflected nothing but disdain.

'Weak... pathetic.. none of these people are in the future I saw. Tsk why can't I find someone strong.'

Gafear gazed at the realm gate. He sighed and nodded at the Guardians of the mermaid Kingdom.

"It seems we don't have time. Let's move."

Seraphine walked between the crowd elegantly. She gritted her teeth when she saw how Nine ignored her and left her behind.

She wanted to catch up to him but stopped when she saw a golden-haired boy walking behind the second prince of Kingdom Soltecia. The boy's body was packed with muscles and he looked taller than his peers.

Seraphine didn't think much and approached him with a smile. However, she was ignored again.

'Damn it! You shitty commoners!'

Instead of the golden-haired boy, the second prince of Kingdom Soltecia introduced himself to her with a bright smile.

They chatted for a while and Seraphine found the identity of the golden-haired boy. Even after that, she didn't remember where she saw him.

'Sen holten... Sen holten... Don't let me see you again or else I am going to make sure you regret the moment you ignored me.'

A loud pleasant laugh at the distance attracted her attention.

A red-haired boy with sharp eyes jumped forward as the people from his Kingdom made their way toward the realm gate.

"Jian! Wait for me!"

Kelvin wanted to facepalm as he watched his excited friend. They trained 24/7 for the past few months just to get a chance to enter the secret Realm because Kelvin's father, King foraan was against their decision.

Jian didn't look back and laughed out loud.

"Damn, I didn't even recognize the firebird that caused so much ruckus. I had a hunch I saw her somewhere! Who would have thought that she was Bia, Kyle's tiny little bird?"

He was too excited after seeing Kyle. Even though he didn't recognize the latter when he saw his silver hair and green eyes but after hearing the murmurs around himself, he confirmed his doubt. Now he wanted nothing but to find his lucky charm who brightened his life in the Tower of Opportunity.

"I am coming Secret Realm!"

With another laugh, Jian jumped forward into the secret realm gate. However, his smile vanished when an old man with a furious expression grabbed his collar.

"Where do you think you are going after breaking the line?"

Jian's smile stiffened.

"Sir, please let me go! I need to find my lucky charm!"

The old man massaged his temples and just tossed him into the secret Realm. After all, Jian was someone who gave him a lot of headaches for the past few months.

Kelvin sighed and jumped after him with the other people from his Kingdom.
