Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 724: Is he still alive?



Damien glanced at the gleaming weapon, uncertain of what the nature's favorite was on about. Without wasting any more time, he vanished from his position.

Before James could react or call out a warning, he reappeared directly in front of Kyle. With a swift motion, he slammed his palm against Kyle's chest, the powerful impact reverberating through the air.

Under his gaze, Kyle was sent hurtling downward, crashing into the ground with a

tremendous force that created a massive crater. Dust and debris exploded outward, obscuring the scene for a moment.

Without hesitation, James rushed forward with a racing heart and attacked Damien to prevent him from going after Kyle. After all, Kyle was only at the transcendent rank, and an all-out attack from someone who had surpassed the supreme rank would have already left him on the brink of death!

However, his eyes dilated as the first shadow general effortlessly dodged his attack and raised his hand. Under Damien's command, all the dark energy in the vicinity flowed into the massive dark blade he had conjured in the sky earlier.

James exerted all his strength and invoked a natural law. The wind currents across the entire planet responded to his command.

"Stop, you bastard! Fight me instead of someone weaker than you!"

Utilizing the wind pressure, he halted the dark blade that plummeted from the sky, moving with incredible speed toward the exact spot where Kyle had crashed.

However, with his mind occupied, he left Damien a significant opening to strike. A chill ran down his spine when he heard an amused whisper echo before him.

"I never knew you could sacrifice yourself for someone you had barely known."

In the next moment, the air was knocked out of his stomach, and his figure was sent flying backward. Damien stretched his neck and disappeared behind him.

Behind them, after the force holding the massive dark blade in the sky dissipated, it crashed down to the ground at its intended position before erupting into a sea of dark energy, engulfing everything in its wake.

The individuals from the Dark race and Nightkin race hurriedly began to run away to save themselves from the aftermath of the attack, but many of them were caught in the impact and cried out in pain.

All of them wielded dark energy, yet even they weren't spared when such a powerful attack was unleashed.

Onicuss sucked in a deep breath as he observed the scene.

"I already know, but Damien is really powerful... It's surprising he got injured in the war so many times. Well, I am glad I apologized right away. Phew, it's good to stay on the good side of powerful people."

He clicked his tongue when the twin divine-rank demons appeared behind him. Surprisingly, these two useless demons always managed to survive.

Wyatt's floating figure also arrived behind him like the obedient servant he was.

Even after the dust in the area began to settle, the sea of darkness in the land did not recede; dark currents started to swirl through the land, tainting it further.

Suddenly, Onicuss beckoned the three figures behind him, a sly smile creeping onto his face as he licked his lips. His gaze drifted down to the tainted land where the nature's favorite remains should be.

He wasn't certain whether Kyle was the friend Azazeal was looking for. However, one thing was clear: since Damien was the one who had killed him, the repercussions would fall solely on him. Therefore, there was no need for him to worry.

"Wyatt, take the demons with you and search for the nature's favorite remains. I can't let it go to waste. He must have had many powerful skills that the twin demons can extract from his body, particularly the teleportation skill! Go find his body if it has not been completely destroyed!"

The eyes of the supreme-rank demi-human floating behind him flashed with disgust for him, but he had no choice.

Wyatt nodded and motioned for the twin divine-rank demons to follow him. He had just moved when suddenly a familiar, sleek, and elegant spear, with a stunning shade of grey, zoomed out from the darkness below. Its tip glistened with a brilliant light, lighting up the surroundings as it soared toward the sky with incomprehensible speed, startling Onicuss and everyone else.

However, instead of heading toward a certain someone, the spear quickly passed the planet's boundary under their stunned gaze and disappeared from view.

Onicuss's eyes widened with shock.

"What the hell! Is he still alive?!"

He extended his senses to ascertain if nature's favorite was still breathing after enduring such a powerful attack.

Damien was occupied with James, so he knew he had to verify Kyle's death. However, his brows furrowed when he detected no living presence in the vicinity.

"I can't sense him. Is he dead or not?"

Immediately, he kicked the stunned supreme-rank demi-human beside him.

"Go check if he is alive or not! What the hell are you waiting for?"

With a furious glint in his eyes, Wyatt vanished toward the land with the demons to confirm Kyle's death, unaware that the human had already left the area.

Further away from the scene, Kyle leaned against a rock, surrounded by the remnants of collapsed structures. He let out a pained groan as he clutched his chest, the area where Damien had struck him.

Crimson blood trickled from his mouth, staining his neck and clothes.

Bia's small figure circled restlessly around him, her eyes filled with anger and worry.

-"You could have disappeared earlier! Why did you have to take that first hit?"

Kyle spat out the blood gathered in his mouth. He had used instant teleportation just an instant before the dark blade crashed down on his location.

"I did it because I wanted to make sure Damien thinks I am dead. If I had used instant teleportation earlier, I wouldn't have been able to leave the area. Also... I needed to channel enough spiritual energy into the spear so it could withstand the attack and remain under my

control."

He tilted his head and glanced at the distant place where Onicuss was floating.

"Well, I guess we need to wait for a while until the master is here. Then I can easily take Onicuss with me. Hopefully, James stays alive until then."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
