Celestial Bloodline

Kyle yelled and slammed his fists against the door with even more desperation. But the crack that appeared after he poured so much of his divine energy into it quickly sealed up before his seething eyes.

"Damn it all to hell!"

Countless ice spears materialized behind him and shot towards the door, but not even a scratch appeared on its surface. It felt as if a powerful invisible barrier was blocking all of his attacks.

"Why won't this freaking door break!?"

He noticed that even his flames, which had surrounded the room from all directions, could not enter the space.

Kyle gathered more divine energy, but as he tightened his fist with anger and frustration to punch the door again, something strange happened. The place in front of him shook, and with a faint rustling sound, something spread out in all directions.

Immediately afterward, his flames surged into the room from all directions, freezing and turning everything in their path into countless bright particles because the barrier stopping them had vanished.

After the walls sustaining one of the biggest rooms inside the building turned into particles, a big part of the building started to crumble, causing a cascading effect throughout the entire structure.

Kyle stared at the crumbling door and kicked it with so much strength that it shattered into many pieces.

However, even before he stepped into the room, he sensed it very clearly that Yue, Nine, Elli, and Iva had left the place.

The thing that barely made him relieved was that the moment Yue left the barrier that stopped him from entering the room, he could finally sense the mark he placed on her. But it was so far away and so faint that he couldn't even grasp her exact location.

Kyle stepped into the room. His knuckles were bruised from pounding his fists on the door repeatedly. But despite the pain, he still clenched his fists so hard that blood oozed from his palms.

He stared at the woman in the dark cloak standing across from him. A smirk formed on her face as she checked him out from head to toe with a look that screamed interest.

Kyle's eyes darted toward Bia's unconscious body for a split second, and then he once again fixed his cold gaze on the short-haired woman.

There was a fading portal beside her, and he knew Yue and the others had left the room through that exact portal.

"Where did you send them and why!?"

He couldn't believe the voice that escaped from his lips belonged to him because it sounded too hoarse for his comfort.

The woman didn't say anything and just stared at his body.

At that moment, Kyle felt that something was off because he wanted to attack her, but his legs wouldn't move. He raised his hand and touched beneath his eyes, which had started bleeding.

Not just his eyes, but blood was also flowing from his nose and mouth, even though he wasn't injured.

"?"

Then, he finally dropped to his knees and stared at the woman with dilated eyes as she took a step closer to him. Her bronze eyes brightened up as she peered at him.

"Who are you? You are clearly so weak, but why is there something inside your body that I can't grasp?"

Glacia narrowed her eyes. As one of the strongest people on her planet, someone who had reached the final stage of the transcendent rank, she couldn't believe she was unable to see through a human who hadn't even entered the divine rank.

"I have been sensing something unique inside you, but the moment I tried to understand it... it hid itself, almost as if it had a mind of its own and knew that my presence could pose a threat."

The portal next to her began to fade, and Glacia knew it would crumble in a few seconds. But the human in front of her made her want to stay on this weak planet a little longer.

"How about I give it a look? Don't worry, I will make sure not to kill or completely destroy your body."

The icy flames in the room began to extinguish as Kyle lost control of his body. He didn't notice, but Glacia had once again extended her domain to gain complete control over everything around her.

She reached out her hand towards Kyle, who met her gaze with a pair of cold, emotionless eyes.

Kyle couldn't speak, but he swore that if he survived today, he would do whatever it takes to kill this woman.

Glacia let out a chuckle.

"I have to admit, it never ceases to amaze me how arrogant all the people I have met on this planet are."

She touched Kyle's forehead and started sending her energy into his body. Not really caring about the massive power difference between them or the fact that her energy could wreck his body.

Only after a split second, an astonished expression appeared on her face because she sensed that the human in front of her had a mind space. But how was it possible when he clearly hadn't reached the true divine rank?

She wanted to forcefully peer inside his mind space, but before she could, once again a crack appeared in her domain. Glacia snapped her eyes up from where a pair of brown eyes stared at her.

Her hand left Kyle's forehead, and she staggered back when the person staring at her threw a wave of electricity at her.

Glacia's eyes widened with shock because the person who attacked her had reached the transcendent rank as well, albeit just the initial stage. But it was enough to make her raise her guard against the old dwarf who tore a part of her domain, even though his hands were trembling.

"Hoho, Susan, this is interesting, but I only see a kid and a phoenix in there... no one else."

The old dwarf entered the domain after he finally managed to tear a part of it. He wasn't alone. Susan, Anlee, and many old elves who were contacted by the guards and informed that something happened to Yue were floating right behind him.
