Chapter 224 An old memory

The sudden memory widened Kyle's eyes. Just like how he stared at the majestic elf statue he was staring at the girl standing on top of the rock. She looked the same, just a little older. Also, her hair was longer now covering her whole back.

He immediately removed his pressure and fixed his eyes on her. Did she remember..?

Maybe? Kyle's gaze was a little nervous but when he thought how their encounter was so brief so small he sighed in his mind.

Also, after the bloodline awakening his facial features changed so now it was almost impossible for her to recall his face.

Amidst all this, Kyle's eyes crinkled into a smile. A genuine smile. Even his lips trickled upward into a smile.

'I thought I would never see her again.'

Meanwhile, Yue was stunned when Kyle's behavior took a 180-degree turn, and seeing her vigilant expression Kyle controlled the urge to curse himself.

He cleared his throat while maintaining the eye contact.

"I mean no harm."

Yue was taken aback but in the next second, she strenched the bowstring with force and spoke loudly.

"Leave or else."

Kyle was tongue-tight. Her expression was angry and he knew there was no way she would believe him if he said they had met before.

'I want to know her name at least.'

He thought for a few seconds but then he noticed the hard bracelet in his hand.

"Leave!"

A thunderous voice sounded in Kyle's ears and he hurriedly flashed the bracelet in front of her eyes.

"It's yours right?"

Yue was shocked when she saw the bracelet in Kyle's hand. She gazed at the bracelet hanging on her wrist and compared both of them.

"How do you have it?"

She remembered clearly it was lost. So why does this strange person have it? Was he a thief? She immediately skids down the rock. The bow and arrow disappeared from her hands and she took out a dagger from her storage ring.

Kyle eyed her movement. To him, She was quite slow but in the next second, she attacked him with a sharp gaze.

He sighed.

'I was here because of the bracelet but now I am using the bracelet. It's seemed I won't be able to collect all the parts of the Artifact.'

He moved his fingers and ten fireballs appeared in front of him, stopping the elf in her place.

However, she scoffed and waved her hand gracefully, and many floating earth spikes appeared behind her back.

Kyle's brow furrowed. It was true he wanted to know her name but why was she so aggressive? He clicked his tongue and threw the bracelet at her.

"Here."

Yue was dumbfounded but caught the bracelet immediately with relief. The pair of bracelets was a gift her father gave her. Moreover, her father said the bracelets weren't normal and she had to take care of them but she was so clumsy and lost one of the bracelets.

In the end, she wasn't even able to apologize to her father about this matter.

"Who...?"

Her voice abruptly stopped when she gazed up to see no one standing in front of her.

"Huh?"

Yue blinked and looked around but no matter where she looked she didn't find that silver hair figure. He was gone.

"He just disappeared?"

She whispered and gazed at the bracelet he left behind. It indeed belonged to her. She eyed the bracelet and her gaze narrowed when she sensed mana dancing around the bracelet.

Yue wasn't well versed will Array symbols but when she saw the tiny grazed marks on the inner side of the bracelet she was stunned.

'I remember father said the symbols are incomplete that's why he wanted to let an Array master see the bracelets. Don't tell me that silver-hair completed the symbols?'

She closed her eyes but then opened them with a frown because she wasn't able to get anything from the bracelet.

"I will let father check it."

Yue didn't climb up the rock this time and just simply sat down beside the tents. Her thoughts wandered around.

'Was I too excessive?'

She pursed her lips slightly. He didn't even attack her but she just went ahead to attack so openly.

A sigh escaped her lips and she shook her head to throw the thoughts at the back of her mind. She looked back at the tents with a tsk.

"Why are they sleepy so soundly? I thought my voice was loud enough to wake them up!"

She humped and shook his head.

On the other hand, after throwing the bracelet at the female elf, Kyle moved back into the forest to hide himself.

He gazed at her figure one last but then gazed at the mountain. His ears twitched when he heard faint noises at a distance.

Kyle hummed in his mind and left the area. The encounter was indeed unexpected and if possible he wanted to know her name.

'Well, I will think about it later.'

He went to the left side and started climbing the mountain, heading straight toward the noises.

After a few minutes, he arrived in front of a cave. The faint noises turned into loud shouts and Kyle heard the sounds of weapons clashing against something hard.

He immediately entered the cave and soon saw two elves fighting against a large spiky shell. A dead body was lying behind them.

Kyle's eyes narrowed when he saw something slimy crawling below the shell. He looked at the elves their condition didn't look good either.

'A (C)-Rank monster?'

He waved his hand and blue flames appeared behind him. The air around him turned cold because he wasn't hiding at all. Instead, he burned his mana and in an instant, the flames moved violently.

The flames took the shape of a spear and started floating. Kyle eyed the trembling elves who were almost on the verge of losing and disappeared from his spot.

In the next second, Kyle appeared behind the monster and summoned the saber from the mind space. His gaze lingered at the elves and he immediately attacked the shell from behind. The slimy monsters screeched and turned around to attack Kyle, leaving the injured elves alone.

The elves didn't even look at Kyle and hurriedly left the cave. They even discarded their friend's corpse.

Kyle clicked his tongue when he saw their fading back. His eyes glowed brightly when he stabbed the saber in the shell with all his strength.

A loud rumble shook the cave when the monster cried out in pain. Kyle looked at the monster and immediately hurled the floating flame spear at the monster.

Under his gaze, the flames seeped into the shell and it started freezing. The monster panicked due to the intense cold and tried to run but it was too late because within ten seconds its body turned into an ice statue.

Kyle eyed the statue and grazed his fingers on the ice. With a loud crack, the ice broke down into many pieces.
