Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 755: Where are my practice targets?



Kyle raised his eyes, which were entirely white, to meet Damien's dilated gaze.

Everyone around him stared with held breath as he made a grabbing motion in the air, successfully seizing an escaping wisp of something bright, tainted with darkness, from the two halves of the body before him.

He clicked his tongue as he crushed the fragment of the soul in his hand. An eerily cold voice slipped past his lips.

"A fake one."

The moment his words fell, blue flames erupted from behind him, consuming the lifeless body of the man who did not even have the chance to scream in pain after he had manipulated the natural law of time within their proximity to bring the surrounding time under his control.

His eyes returned to their normal green shade, and with a speed that astonished even him, he reached out to grab Damien.

The first shadow general instinctively jumped back to enter the crack behind him. His heart nearly stopped as a familiar fear surged within him, the same fear he had felt when Kyle destroyed an entire planet before his eyes. His breath hitched as Kyle's icy cold fingers brushed against his skin, but he managed to slip into the crack.

Kyle's gaze glazed over, the green hue deepening. He wanted to pursue and catch the fleeing enemies despite the many familiar voices shouting behind him to stop, but the crack before him sealed shut with a resounding thud, causing him to hiss as his foot, which had entered, became injured from being ensnared in the spatial rift.

Blood emerged from his injury, but it froze into ice before it could scatter in the air.

He shrugged off the pain, and a layer of ice instantly covered his wound, healing it as if he had never been injured at all.

Kyle stared intently at the empty space before him, wanting nothing more than to bring back the shadow generals. Right now, his body was brimming with power, and he needed a way to channel it.

His bloodline moved aggressively within his mind space, urging him to do just that: to fight, so it could forcefully merge with him.

He tired to manipulate the natural law of time, but as he concentrated, a sharp pain akin to a thousand needles stabbed at his head, sending painful shockwaves through his body. The sensation slithered down his spine like a snake, constricting his focus and threatening to overwhelm him.

Before he completely lost focus, a pair of warm hands embraced him from behind, accompanied by a familiar voice.

"Kyle, snap out of it! The battle has ended!"

He blinked a few times, and finally, the powerful, cold, suffocating aura that had unknowingly spread from his body began to disappear. Yue sighed with relief when she sensed him calming down, the icy aura retreating back into him.

Kyle glanced down at the arms around his waist, a guilty expression crossing his face as he noticed the ice creeping onto the pale skin. With a frown, he quickly moved away from the warm grasp.

"You are harming yourself. I just lost focus for a second. It's fine now-"

He stopped midway when he noticed all eyes on him and that the falling snowflakes surrounding him had come to a standstill, turning into a deep shade of blue.

He could sense everyone breathing harshly, as if they were experiencing the coldest winter they had ever encountered.

Then his eyes caught sight of many ice statues scattered across the land. Every single person from the dark side, who had been abandoned by the shadow generals, had turned into ice sculptures.

"Ah... I did this? When?"

A frown creased his brows, and Yue's fingers twitched to smooth it out when she saw how his cold and handsome features were marred by confusion.

Kyle scratched his chin, trying to piece together the events. He didn't remember spreading his flames. So, when the hell did he attack the enemies in his surroundings?

Seeing his bewildered look, everyone around him sucked in a deep breath, feeling somewhat relieved that this man was on their side. Because just recalling how the enemies fighting against them had turned into sparkling ice statues right before their eyes as raging blue flames engulfed them was enough to make them sweat.

Bia, who had done absolutely nothing in the battle and just stayed close to Yue and Lara in her smaller form landed on Yue's shoulder and gave him a thorough once-over.

- 'Still breathing, I see. All good then.'

Kyle's eyebrow twitched. He felt the urge to flick her forehead, but she flew away with a scowl, unwilling to become an ice cube, as a faint icy aura was still radiating from him.

Alec moved toward him with a stiff expression. He wanted to pat his shoulder, but seeing the ice covering his body, he held his hand back and just rolled his eyes.

"It doesn't matter how you did what you did. We won; that's what matters."

Kyle raised an amused brow at him. He thought Alec would be upset knowing that Enthrall had escaped from his grasp, but it seemed that due to whatever he had done, the latter was more focused on him.

He wanted to respond when a loud battle cry echoed through the air, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

Everyone turned their heads toward the voice and noticed Elder Sophia and Hal flying through the air, followed by Carcel, Sinon, Mia, and many others.

Sinon, who had just shouted to announce his presence to the enemies, froze when he saw not a single foe in sight.

"Where are the shadow generals? Where are my practice targets, the ones I'm supposed to test my new powerful moves on???"

"Come out!"

He looked eagerly from left to right, excitement coursing through him, but all he could see was an expanse of snow stained with blood, scattered dead bodies, and ice statues that appeared to belong to the people from the dark side.

"Huh??"

Sinon was speechless. When did fighting off the shadow generals become so easy? Or was he

just too late?

Just like him, Sophia, Hal, and the others were equally confused. James explained the situation to the two elders, and their eyes widened briefly before they relaxed, faint smiles lighting up their faces.

Finally, they had dealt a substantial blow to the shadow generals, enough to send them fleeing with their tails between their legs.

However, they also knew that this sudden assault from the shadow generals was not something they could easily overlook. The dark side was clearly up to something, and the anxiety of the unknown was the most unsettling feeling they could experience.

Unlike James and the elders, who instructed those with them to clear the battlefield and proceeded to examine the seals of the realm of the dead, Kyle's gaze was fixed on Sinon.

More precisely, he focused on the empty space behind the demi-human. Sinon's massive wings... they were missing.

Alec, Lara, Yue, and Bia also noticed the anomaly. They hurriedly approached him with curious expressions. Kyle wanted to follow when he spotted Elder Kurt coming toward him

with a broad smile.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The muscular man rubbed his hands together nervously and looked at him. At first, seeing Kyle's powerful physique made him consider making him his disciple, but after witnessing Kyle's strength just now, he abandoned that idea. He knew that with such power, having a master was the least of what Kyle would want.

"How about becoming my sparring partner? I am highly skilled in close combat and have a lot of experience. I can assure you, my friend, you won't regret it."

Kyle examined him from head to toe. His body was marked by many injuries, some so severe that bones were visible. Instead of taking the time to heal, he had come to him seeking to be

his sparring partner?

"Alr..."

His voice sounded a bit strange to even his own ears, causing him to clear his throat before he gazed at the burning eyes staring at him with anticipation.

"Alright, but..."

He had yet to complete his sentence but Elder Kurt had already disappeared toward James with a joyful expression, telling him that the kid was nothing like the cold and emotionless person he had described and was actually quite good-natured!

Kyle wanted to tell him that he was skilled in close combat and that if they sparred, he might accidentally break his bones.

However, seeing the elder laugh despite his injuries, he swallowed his words and chose to

save that information for another time.

He turned and made his way toward his friends. Sinon was laughing with a proud expression

as the others surrounded him.

Kyle felt many eyes on his back as the people clearing the aftermath of the battle secretly sneaked glances at him. His ears twitched as he heard their whispers of praise, marveling at

how they had never seen flames so cold and powerful. Well, that was to be expected; he had just destroyed one of Ceano's bodies in front of everyone and even killed many others from the dark side. He could only hope the attention on him would fade with time.
