Chapter 264 Beady eyes

Inside the secret realm, the sky was painted with red and black clouds. The land was broken and pitch black with not even a hint of greenery in sight because the thousands of trees had long lost their luster.

Almost everything present in the land gave off an ominous and dark feeling. The hundreds of mountain peaks were devoid of any color. The water within the rivers looked murky mixed with an unpleasant odor.

The monsters within the realm had dark veins bulging out in their whole bodies.

All of a sudden a rumble echoed in the air. The monsters raised their heads to stare at the sky.

The clouds trembled and a bright crack appeared in the darkness. After a minute, a ray of light flashed from the crack landing at a distant mountain.

The monsters glued their eyes to the sky because, after the first light, many more lights flashed from the crack.

Soon, the seemingly dark sky turned bright with hundreds of lights landing all around the secret realm.

Above a large mountain, an illusionary white old man opened his eyes and peered at the vast sky.

"Who opened the realm again?"

His voice drifted away with the air and after a second he was already floating in the sky.

His eyes reflected the many bright lights pouring out from the crack.

"So weak so weak... How are they going to survive."

His expression turned serious as he looked at a distance. Just like him, another old figure started floating in the sky.

However, unlike the old man the other figure's eyes shone brightly when he saw the crack in the sky. He laughed out loud with a twisted smile.

"After so many years they stepped into this place again."

A pair of beady charcoal eyes looked at a distance where one of the lights landed. He extended his pointy nails to claw at the small figure that emerged out from one of light but his hand stopped mid-way when the illusionary old man grabbed his wrist.

"What do you think you are doing Guil? As a Pseudo Divine being you are not allowed to kill mortals."

The beady-eyed man's facial expression twisted and he swung the hand gripping his wrist away.

"Hahahaha.. who made this rule? This is the place me and my people had been sealed for the past so many years. You can stop me but those weak pathetic beings had to die. If not me then my race will kill them just like last time."

The illusionary old man figure flickered and a cold expression appeared on his face.

"I don't care about others but you are not allowed to touch anyone."

Guil expression turned ugly. He was strong enough to crush everything around him but he was stopped by a tiny piece of soul. He gritted his teeth and left the illusionary old man alone.

However, he didn't forget to inform his people to start the hunt again. After all, even though his soul is bound to this place and he can't go outside he can at least kill all those who stepped in this realm.

The illusionary old man looked at his fading back. He gazed at the sky filled with bright lights for a second and vanished. In the end, he was just a small piece of soul left behind by the original body. It was not his job to save each person who had a death wish.

He would look around for some promising youths and send them back. As for the remaining people they can only blame themselves for entering this place even after knowing about the danger.

....

Meanwhile, Kyle felt a familiar dizzy sensation after he stepped into the realm gate.

He opened his eyes and found himself above a dark rocky mountain. The sky was black and he could see a bright crack in the middle. Hundreds of bright lights flashed through the crack and landed far away from each other.

Kyle's nose wrinkled when he sensed an unpleasant odor in the air.

"What is this smell... The air is not clean."

He waved his hand and narrowed his eyes to look around. Bia peeked out her head from his hands and narrowed her eyes as well.

-'Why is this place so dark? Also, the mana here is so thin...'

Kyle's ears twitched when he recalled what happened a minute ago.

"I believe you need to give me an explanation about what happened outside the realm."

Bia shuddered when Kyle's grip around her body tightened.

-'Will you believe me if I said I don't know anything.. '

Kyle raised a brow and his eyes turned crescent.

"I will believe you if you let me beat you up a little okay."

Bia panicked and hurriedly opened her wings to fly but Kyle's grip around her was too tight.

-'Wait... How can you harm this majestic me? Did not you see how strong I am!'

Kyle didn't listen and grabbed her through her neck with an evil smile.

"Majestic?"

Bia blinked and immediately shook her tiny head. She didn't dare to provoke him because even if they fought she knew there was no way she could win. After all, she was (C+)-Rank while Kyle was (B+)-Rank!

-'Nope... Not at all. Who is majestic? I am not.'

Kyle nodded with satisfaction. He patted her head and placed her on his shoulder.

"Good."

Bia nodded like an obedient child. However, her inner thoughts said otherwise.

-'I am majestic. No one can change this fact. Also, just wait I am going to increase my strength, and then we are going to have a serious one vs one!'

Amidst all this, she truly missed Kyle. Her small head snuggled inside his neck cozily with a pleasant expression.

Kyle hummed and patted her head again. After all, he could sense her emotions.

"Let's go!"

He stepped forward and started descending the mountain. However, only after a few steps, Kyle's feet slipped and he fell into a dark hole.
