Chapter 277 My body will explode

Kyle's eyes widened when he heard the floating fur ball that appeared out of nowhere. Also, due to the sudden appearance he choked and started coughing. Still, the golden droplet was already down his throat.

He raised his head to look at the floating ball, it was completely white and round. He sucked in a deep breath and dread crept inside his heart.

'My body will explode?'

Kyle patted his chest to calm his muddled heart. On his left, Bia's expression hardened when she heard the floating ball exclamation but, before the duo could comprehend the situation, the ball vanished. In the next second, it appeared in front of Bia, and snatched the glass vial placed in front of her.

Kyle's eyes narrowed, too fast. He was not even able to see its afterimage! Just from this, he knew the other party was too strong. He silently summoned his flames and asked Bia to fly away quietly. No matter what was this strange thing, if it dared to attack he would not let it go!

Meanwhile, the winged boar grumbled under his breath. He was stunned speechless at the kid's boldness. How can someone just gulp down the divine essence without any preparation? Moreover, this divine essence was of the highest quality! Especially extracted by his master for those who could not go beyond their mortal talents.

The boar raised his eyes when he sensed a cold sensation around his body but a single wave of his paw was enough to stop the surging blue flames. In the next second, under Kyle and Bia's stunned gaze, the flame crumbled into dust and drifted away with the air.

Kyle's breath hitched in his throat when a heavy pressure descended on his body. It was not the first time he experienced a strong opponent pressure on his body but this pressure was different. He felt like a foreign energy was trying to squeeze his body ruthlessly.

Kyle gazed at the floating ball with a frosty expression. Amidst all this, his eyes trailed to the vial within the fur ball paw. Unlike him, the golden droplet inside Bia's vial was intact. He was not sure if what he heard a while ago was true or not but if it was true he was glad Bia did not consume the golden liquid.

The winged boar narrowed his eyes at the dust because he sensed a strong power within those blue flames but he could not pinpoint what it was. In the end, he threw the matter at the back of his head and cleared his throat with a serious expression.

"Kid, you are young and even though for some unknown reasons I can not sense your rank I...."

He stopped midway and blinked his eyes because the kid was nowhere to be seen. His astonished gaze darted around in a wild manner.

"Where the hell did he go?"

In an instant, his eyes zoomed at the sprinting figure descending the stairway. A speechless expression appeared on his face as he watched the flying bird and the running silver-haired boy.

Kyle gazed around the floating treasure land for an exit. He knew he and Bia could not go back from the way they came from because the path was closed after the tunnel caved in. Moreover, they were deep within a mountain!

'Bia! Can you see any other exit?'

-'I can not!'

Bia increased her speed and her wings fluttered frantically as she looked around for another path. In the middle of her frantic search, she noticed something strange the floating fur ball didn't move from its location, instead, it stayed in front of the castle gate motionlessly. The previous exclamation where the floating ball said that Kyle's body would explode rang inside her head. She gazed at Kyle's running figure with a worried expression.

-'Kyle are you feeling okay after consuming the golden liquid Or...'

Her worriful words were cut short because after Kyle jumped down from the stairway he dropped to his knees with a sweaty forehead.

-'Are you alright!?'

Bia shouted with panic and dived toward Kyle at full speed.

Kyle groaned and shook his head, he saw her shadow from the corner of his eyes but soon his vision turned blurry. He could not help but curse under his breath.

'Ah.. don't tell me I am really going to explode. I swear I am never going to toss everything I found in my mouth!'

Still, even though he was cursing he did not feel any pain. Instead, a soothing and comfortable sensation spread out in his body. A strange tingling feeling swirled around his chest and drowsiness enveloped his senses.

Bia landed beside his body and cried out loudly before climbing his back with red-rimmed eyes.

-'Kyle!'

At this moment, the winged boar finally moved. He wore a solemn expression as he made his way toward the weeping bird.

"Stop, now you can not save him."

Bia looked back at the floating ball and her gaze turned cold. She channeled her mana and increased her size to protect Kyle.

The boar raised a brow but he did not even flinch under Bia's towering figure. A deep sigh escaped his lips as he eyed Kyle's body.

"I thought it would be fun to follow this young man for a while.... What a pity he looked like someone who had a lot of potential but now he would die because of a single carelessness."

Bia's body tensed at the floating ball remarks. She wanted to speak and ask a lot of questions but she could not. Not until she reached (S-)-Rank.

This was the first time she felt so helpless. She closed her eyes to focus on the link between her and Kyle. A confused expression appeared on her face. Their link was intact. They could always feel each other emotions faintly and now the faint emotion Kyle was transferring toward her was utter bliss. The emotions were very similar to the ones he emitted during a long warm bath.

-'Why the hell is he so comfortable when he is in such a dangerous situation!'

The brilliant feeling she was getting from Kyle proved that he was not in any type of pain. So, how was it impossible for him to explode? Bia's skeptical eyes shifted to the floating fur ball.

The winged boar was not looking at her that's why he failed to notice her narrowed eyes. He was more focused on Kyle because he wanted to retrieve all the vials of divine essence after the kid died.

He sighed and stopped beside Kyle with a patient look. After the kid's body exploded, he would collect all the storage rings on his fingers and look for the vials.

That's how one fire phoenix and one winged boar fixed their gaze on the silver-haired figure.
