Celestial Bloodline
chapter-349

Kyle didn't answer and vanished once again, only to reappear in front of the crowd. The battle was almost over, with only a few low-rank monsters remaining. Alec and the others had already stopped fighting.

He raised his hands to clap, but abruptly, a strange feeling welled up inside his chest. He blinked, and for a moment, his eyes turned hazy. A fleeting thought crossed his mind, warning him of impending danger, but it slipped away before he could fully comprehend it.

'What just happened..?'

Kyle shook his head with a frown, trying to clear his mind. He clapped his hands, and blue flames scattered in all directions, swiftly finishing off the remaining monsters.

The elves cheered with joy. Finally, after all the struggle, the first wave of monsters had been defeated! However, the floating individuals raised their heads towards Kyle, who cleared his throat to get their attention.

Alec floated up and approached him with a questioning look, followed by Carcel and all the others who could fly.

Kyle raised his finger and quickly drew a symbol, creating a faint barrier to keep their voices from traveling outside. Then, he looked at Alec, Carcel, and the familiar faces.

"I found the monster lords' location. They're in different places. How about we go and take them out directly?"

A few gasps echoed through the air, but Kyle's gaze was fixed on Alec, who smiled. Alec ran his hand through his hair and glanced at an old system notification.

As soon as he arrived at the border, he received a mission to defeat one of the two monster lords, and he would jump straight to (SSS+)-Rank as a reward. Moreover, if he killed the second one as well he would gain a divine rank skill.

Alec glanced at Kyle and before anyone could reject he agreed.

"It's better this way we would be able to save a lot of lives. Also, if the monster lords are gone the other monsters would scatter and won't attack the borders."

After him, Carcel agreed too. But he raised a question, how would they kill the monster lords? After all, the monster lords would be surrounded by countless other strong monsters. If killing the monster lords was so easy, why would the strongest in their Kingdoms wait until now?

Kyle blinked and flashed an innocent smile that for some reason sent chills down Bia's spine.

"Don't worry, I've got a plan."

Carcel raised an eyebrow, and Jian cracked his knuckles.

"So, what are we waiting for? Let's recover our mana and head towards the nearest monster lord."

Regius hummed softly.

"You're right. With so many of us, I think we can easily defeat a monster lord. Alec, Lara, Carcel, Mia, Jian, Yue, Niamh, Kyle, Bia... they all have the strength of (SS)-Rank. In my opinion, it would be too easy."

Anlee glanced at the kids. He refused to let the youngsters face such danger. Even Liam and Aliza spoke up, but after Kyle said that he had a plan, they were ignored like thin air. If Aira had been here, she would have also refused, but she went back to the capital with the dark mage's unconscious body.

After all his friends agreed, Kyle pointed his finger towards the nearest monster lord, the one who would probably attack the elven Kingdom, and gestured for everyone to follow behind.

Alec glanced at everyone and with a nod, they all floated behind Kyle.

The air trembled as Bia glanced down at the many floating figures. For some unknown reason, her left eyelid twitched violently. A bad premonition stabbed at the back of her head, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Anlee cursed and immediately followed behind. On the way, he hurriedly called as many people as possible to let them know about the crazy situation.

Liam and Aliza also took out their communication crystals and immediately called Principal Retric. The old man almost had a heart attack when he heard the news.

He screamed at the two professors to stop the youngsters in any way possible, but Aliza and Liam could only sigh. Who would have thought there would come a time when they would be powerless against the kids they trained just a few years ago?

The news quickly reached the five Kings of the East Continent. They wanted to send their forces behind the kids, but unfortunately, their forces couldn't arrive on time. After all, the other borders of Kingdom Tersia and Kingdom Escalante were still under attack by the monsters.

....

After traveling for two hours, Kyle paused deep inside the dark forest, above a peaceful lake, surrounded by tall trees. Completely unaware of the turmoil he caused throughout the entire East Continent, Kyle narrowed his eyes, and the rest of the individuals came to a halt behind him.

Alec tightened his grip on his sword, looking around the quiet forest. But this part seemed strangely calm. Unable to contain his curiosity, he questioned Kyle with a serious expression.

"Don't tell me the monster lord is hiding here alone? If so, we might have a chance to take it out easily."

Kyle blinked.

"No, the monster lord is further deep inside the forest, surrounded by powerful monsters. I just sensed something good in this place. So I thought it would be best to check it out along the way... right?

Alec chuckled, a small vein popping on his forehead. He couldn't believe they had been holding their breath for nothing.

"Yeah, right."

He rolled up his sleeves and gave Kyle a murderous look. But before he could pounce on Kyle, the latter disappeared.

Kyle appeared in a distance and stared at him with a hurt expression.

"I swear we would regret it if we left this place without checking it out. You know, I sensed so much pure mana, it was overwhelming."

He landed next to the lake and gazed at the crystal-clear water.

"I believe there's a big natural treasure beneath the lake. I would have come alone, but then I thought about you all..."

Kyle shrugged and smirked as he stared at them. Alec scoffed, but his expression revealed his interest.

In the next second, Kyle gave Bia a signal to watch the surroundings and jumped into the water. Alec glanced at the others and clicked his tongue before following behind him.

Jian laughed and followed suit. Whenever he followed Kyle, he always found something good. So, there was no way he would stay behind.

Yue glanced at Lara and Mia, and the trio also entered the water. After them, everyone else also jumped in the lake.

Anlee stared at the lake and let out a frustrated laugh.

"Why the hell are they trusting him like he would be right!?"

He wanted to stay back and wait for reinforcements so he could bring the kids back. But suddenly, Liam and Aliza also jumped in the lake. He stared at their fading backs with disbelief.

"Alright, so we're all getting childish, huh?"

He scoffed, but curiosity got the better of him. After a minute, he followed behind them.

Bia gazed at their fading figures and let out a tired sigh.

-'Are you sure, you sense something similar to the the earth layer that Haylee mentioned in his story?'

Instantly, Kyle's voice echoed in her head.

'Hmm, the mana is incredibly dense, it's almost unbelievable. I'm a hundred percent certain that there's something valuable deep beneath the water.'

Bia chuckled dryly, wondering how the ones who lost the layer would react to this news.
