Celestial Bloodline
chapter-101

"Alec step back!"

Kyle shouted. Without even waiting for a second Alec pushed the skeletons backward with his sword and jumped backward.

With a cracking sound, a large amount of mana gushed out from Kyle's sword as he slashed the sword vertically at the pit entrance with all his might.

-BOOM!

A loud rumble shook the hole pit. Kyle's body trembled because he was pushed a few steps backward due to his attack force.

His breath was a little heavy as he looked at the huge crater formed in front of his eyes. All the skeletons who took his attack turned into powder.

"Second strike: Eradicate."

Kyle mumbled under his breath. It was the second time he used this move but the result was better than the first time.

The red 0 present on his wrist jumped upward nonstop, stopping at a whopping 43.

Even Jian and Alec who were standing a few feet away from Kyle were shocked.

Such a destructive attack!

But they could see from Kyle's sweaty face that the attack pressure was quite taxing on his body.

Under everyone's gaze, within a few seconds, the large empty crater soon filled up once again with Fire skeletons.

The skeletons didn't show any hesitation even after seeing their comrade die in front of them. They charged at the trio with empty hollow eyes.

Alec took a deep breath and spoke seriously.

"Now it's my turn!"

Kyle raised his brow while pushing back some of the skeletons.

Alec raised his hand and used the (S)-Rank skill he acquired from the system recently.

"Cyclonic Gale."

With a shout, a large tornado appeared in front of him. Kyle took a step backward, distancing himself from the skeletons.

Under Jian and Kyle's surprised gaze, the tornado rushed toward the skeletons.

There were hundreds of wind blades inside the tornado, the wind blades crushed the incoming Skeletons.

-CRACK! -CRACK!

Loud cracking sounds were heard as the tornado swept through the skeletons directly crushing 40+ skeletons.

The pit entrance that was filled with skeletons was once again cleared. Kyle subconsciously looked at Alec from the corner of his eyes.

He was sure Alec's skill was a little stronger than his sword move. Kyle clicked his tongue as he saw Alec's smug smile.

Meanwhile, Jian's left eyelid couldn't help but twitch when he saw how both of his companions were boasting their skills and Arts in front of a life and death situation!

But he also didn't want to be left behind. With a modest expression, Jian stepped forward and took a deep breath.

"Now it's my turn."

He also got an (S)-Rank skill before leaving the fourth-floor maze.

Both Alec and Kyle looked at Jian surprised before charging at the new skeleton monsters entering the pit. Their breath was a little heavy as they used a lot of mana within a few minutes.

Jian took a deep breath before shouting with all his might. He wanted the others to know he also had an (S)-Rank skill!

"Blazing flames."

A small flame left from Jian's palm. After traveling for a second the small flame started turning bigger.

Kyle and Alec cursed as they looked at the flame. They were already drenched with sweat because of the environment and here Jian was using a fire skill.

They both jumped backward and looked at Jian with dark eyes.

Jian started sweating. His skill wouldn't affect him that's why he forgot to consider the others.

To distract their attention, he pointed at the flames hurriedly. Under their gaze, the flame turned into a huge cloud. It enveloped all the skeletons present inside the pit before going further outside and killing a lot of skeletons in one go.

Jian shouted with excitement, seeing the destructive effect of the skill. He wanted to test this skill for a while but it consumed 40 percent of his mana that's why he didn't use it before.

The number present on Jian's wrist jumped again and stopped at 275.

The entrance of the pit was cleared once again but within a few minutes, more skeletons started appearing in front of the pit entrance.

Jian laughed bitterly. They were already a little tired, on the other hand, the skeletons were never-ending.

Kyle and Alec again started fighting with their swords.

Suddenly a thought flashed through Kyle's head.

'Wait, where's Bia?'

As he thought about the person who should have been present with him during this life and death battle, Kyle's face darkened.

He immediately shouted in his head.

'Bia! Where the hell are you?'

A lazy yet innocent voice replied to him after a few seconds.

-'Hmm, sitting on a stone present outside the pit?'

Kyle wanted to curse but he controlled himself. He didn't want to ruin his image in front of Alec and Jian but secretly Kyle took a note mentally. He was going to punish this ungrateful bird after he was done with the skeletons!

With a deep breath. Kyle spoke coldly inside his head.

'I think you want to stay hungry for a few months?'

Bia who was sitting outside the pit shuddered when she heard Kyle's cold voice. She knew he was dead serious!

-'I am killing the skeletons from outside! How can you do this to me!'

Flapping her wings frantically, Bia hurriedly flew toward the pit entrance and started throwing fireballs directly at the skeletons who were hell-bent on entering the pit.

Kyle humped internally when he heard Bia panicked voice. Within a few seconds, he was able to see a small disturbance among the skeletons charging at him from the pit entrance. It seems his threat worked!

He looked at Alec who used another powerful skill and killed 10 more skeletons. With a swift movement, Alec used his sword Art.

"Swirling Vortex."

His blue hair fluttered as his sword pierced through a (+D)-Rank skeleton core without any resistance. The ribcage around the core completely shattered.

Kyle sighed. His mastery over the sword was a lot better than before but compared to Alec's elegant movements he was still a few steps behind.
