Celestial Bloodline

Meanwhile, Dion and Likin both demi-humans steadily advanced in the same direction as Kyle.

They were able to follow his track perfectly due to the few corpses of monsters scattered around the forest. They also encounter some wolf-type monsters in their way but all the monsters were weak, not posing any threat to them.

As they slowly closed the distance, Dion frown hearing some angry howls from the direction they were heading.

It was okay if there were one or two howling sounds but hearing so many sounds at once can make any normal person anxious.

Likin looked at the far distance with squinted eyes and before he could pinpoint what was going on a small tremor shook the ground beneath his feet, making Dion who was standing beside him exclaimed with surprise.

"What's the sou...?"

His question was cut in midway when more than 10 grey three-eyed wolves abruptly appeared behind some bushes and entered his field of view.

The few meters tall wolves were howling non-stop with anger. Their eyes were bloodshot, seemingly looking for someone.

Seeing the wolf pack heading straight toward them, Dion's pupils contracted.

"Shit!"

He cursed and started running in the opposite direction but it was too late, one of the wolves looked in their direction with dark eyes.

The wolf howled loudly telling his comrades about their presence.

Dion didn't even consider his chance of winning. He just wanted to run with all his might.

'No way in hell, I will be able to defeat so many monsters.'

Even if both he and Likin combined their strength and went all out, it would be a miracle for them to survive.

Likin was frozen seeing the wolves emerging out of nowhere, running straight toward his location. His mind went into a daze for a second before he looked to his left while trying to mutter something.

"Bro..."

His eye widen seeing Dion retreating figure looking back at him like he was an idiot.

"Run."

Hearing the loud shout, Likin gritted his teeth and also started running behind Dion.

They were cat-type demi-humans that's why their agility state was higher than any ordinary ranker.

On the other hand, the angry wolf leader who had just recently lost his treasured fruits, howled looking at his target running away.

No way in hell he will let it go. With a loud growl, the wolf leader gave a command to his followers;

'We can find that dam bird later, catch those cats so I can vent my anger.'

After hearing the leader's command all the nearby wolves started running with full speed, following behind the pitiful duo of demi-humans who were running with their life on the line.

And just like that the wolves chased the duo for god knows how many hours.

While running Likin was almost on the verge of tears but he controlled the urge after seeing he wasn't alone.

'Dam! if I die I will not die alone.'

.....

At the same time, more than 10 kilometers away from the wolf's location. Kyle was running toward the nearest black cross mark.

He would see the map again and again to check if he was on the right track. He wasn't able to exactly pinpoint the location of the black cross mark due to the dense forest even though he was following the tallest mountain.

After running for another 10 minutes, Kyle's feet stopped seeing a huge pitch-black tree in the distance.

The tree was completely black with slightly curvey leaves, it was giving off an ominous feeling. There was also a huge circular gap at the center of the tree trunk.

The trees and grass surrounding the black tree seemed to have been withered, leaving an empty small ground around the black tree.

Hearing some weird screeching sound, Kyle squinted his eyes trying to see the inside of the huge gap but because the gap was completely dark, he wasn't able to see anything.

He placed the map inside the storage ring with a smile. Now Kyle was completely sure the map was completely correct.

Afterward, Kyle looked at Bia who was flying a few meters on top of his head. He mutter something under his breath before speaking inside her head.

'Bia go check what's inside the tree.'

Bia glared at Kyle but still flew toward the gap, present inside the tree to check the interior but she wasn't able to see clearly.

Suddenly she saw small sparks inside the hole, making her raise her brows. The space inside the hole was illuminated for a second because of those sparks.

-'I can see three Six-legged thunder Spiders.'

Bia called them thunder spiders and explained to Kyle that they have an affinity with thunder, giving those spiders free authority to manipulate the said natural element with ease as long as they have enough mana inside their body.

Kyle simply replied with an 'Oh' because it was the first time he heard about these types of monsters.

After entering the Tower he only encounter wolf-type monsters so now hearing about a different type of monster he thought maybe the previous area belonged to the wolves.

Honestly, he didn't care what monsters they were as long as they gave him some benefits. Looking at Bia seriously Kyle questioned again.

'Is there anything else inside, like some precious treasures? Also, what's their rank?'

Bia close the distance between the hole a little and after taking a proper look, she returned toward Kyle with a confused expression.

-'No I didn't see anything else, the hole is empty. There's only 1 (-F)-Rank spider and 2 (-E)-Rank spider, all of them are strangely scratching the inner side of the tree truck.'

-'But there's something strange because according to my memory thunder spiders only stay in the mountains. What are they doing here?.'

Kyle listen to Bia's explanation if there are only three of them then he can handle them easily because he just broke through to (-E)-Rank and his stats increased.

Kyle gazed at his stats from the corner of his eyes, he was itching to have an exciting fight.

Also, It would be his first fight with an affinity-type monster!

He wasn't sure how it would go but Kyle was confident in himself. In the end, if he really suffered a setback he will lower his ego and beg Bia to help him.

Pondering for a while and thinking about all the future scenarios, Kyle picked up a palm-sized stone from nearby. Coating the stone with mana he directly threw it inside the tree hole with force.

The stone struck the inner side of the tree with accuracy.

-SCREEECH!

A loud screeching sound reverted inside the tree before three black thunder spiders crawled out from the gap, frantically searching for the attacker.

Kyle looked at their appearance and become a little surprised.

The spiders had 2 bead-like red eyes at the center of their round head, behind the head they had ovule-shaped bodies with six long pointy legs.

There were also sparks of flickering lightning jumping around on their lower legs making Kyle look at them curiously.

'They are deserving the name 'thunder spiders.'
