Celestial Bloodline
chapter-421

Diora snapped back and swung her whip, but it missed its target.

"Come out! Don't play hide and seek with me! I'll kill you all!"

She intensified her divine aura, using all her strength. Alec and Carcel clenched their teeth and were about to move toward Diora to stop her, but they froze when Kyle suddenly appeared behind her, lifting his leg in a very familiar manner. Alec smirked and cursed under his breath.

"That bastard... really knows how to get on others nerves."

Carcel shook his head and stretched his neck.

"At least she will be out of the picture until we're done with Hay."

Diora sensed it clearly this time when Kyle attempted to kick her. She quickly turned around, but her eyes darkened when she saw a familiar flickering portal just inches away from her body. She cried out and tore the portal with her nails. However, in that moment of distraction, she failed to notice another powerful kick that landed on her waist and sent her flying downward.

Kyle watched her, then vanished behind her. He winced as he appeared close to her, feeling the immense pressure radiating from her body.

"I have to admit, I still can't handle the divine pressure..."

Diora clawed at his body, but he disappeared before her nails could pierce him. Kyle straightened his clothes and looked at the woman, who had managed to regain her balance in mid-air.

"She's insane."

Even though he said that, a smile crept onto his lips as he vanished once more. He reappeared around Diora again and again, from all directions, driving her to the brink of madness.

The others who were fighting with Hay or more specifically delivering finishing blows to the man who seemed close to death, moved back when the icy blue flames, which had been silently swirling around Hay, suddenly engulfed the man in a chilling embrace.

A pained, heart-wrenching cry that sent chills down the spine of everyone who heard it rang out in the air as the flames forcefully entered Hay's mouth to freeze his skull and all his internal organs.

Diora paused in her actions. The woman lowered her whip and stared at Hay who turned into a glistening ice statue right before her eyes.

She let out a crazed laugh.

"Haha, no way! No way!"

She wanted to go and save him, but halted because the ice statue shattered into countless bright particles, the same beautiful particles that had stopped her skill before.

Diora's eyes flickered with madness. There was no way her partner could die, not because of some insignificant ants!

The woman opened her mouth, probably to shout again that she would kill every person in her sight, but before she could, another kick landed on her waist, sending her into a portal that materialized behind her. Diora's eyes locked with Kyle's, and darkness enveloped her vision once again.

Kyle lowered his leg and let out a sigh.

"The enemies are near... and I've already used up all my divine energy. Not to mention, even my mana is running low."

He glanced back at the many individuals behind him who had been staring daggers at him for a while now.

"What?"

Nine floated towards him and gave him a serious look before glancing at the distance where the array masters were present. More specifically, he looked at Han, the man who taught Kyle about arrays.

"Bro, I think I should also learn some array symbols, especially to create the portal you just used to send that woman away."

Jian and Sinon joined him with solemn expressions.

"We should learn as well. It's too powerful to ignore."

Regius rubbed his chin.

"Now that you three are going to learn, I'll join as well. I don't think it's hard after seeing how easily Kyle can draw so many symbols within a second."

Alec and Carcel wanted to join too. They would be lying if they said they weren't tempted. However, Yon poured cold water on their expectations even before they could voice them.

"Kids, it's not easy to learn array symbols, especially the ones Kyle is using to create teleportation portals mid-air..."

The old dwarf counted his fingers and hummed with a thoughtful expression.

"Well, if you really want to learn, it won't take you all a long time. Approximately twenty years...? Only if you all spend all your time learning them and have a good memory and comprehension ability."

Nine stared at the dwarf with blank eyes and retreated into the distance as if he never even asked to learn about arrays. Jian and Sinon quickly followed him and went towards the crowd to recover their divine energy and mana.

Kyle chuckled and shook his head at them before staring into the distance.

"I think we should all get ready and move. The enemies are here."

Yon and Alec arrived beside him and nodded. The dwarf glanced at Kyle, a little surprised that the kid could already spread his senses so far away.

"I can sense them as well. It's a big army. They'll be here soon because they're traveling at full speed."

Kyle nodded.

"Not just them, that woman is back as well. Let's move forward and ask..."

He stopped speaking when Yon patted his shoulder with a smile.

"I know, leave it to me. I'll get all the people behind us ready for the fight. Just worry about yourself. I can sense you used all your divine energy."

Kyle watched as Yon and Alec quickly left his side to tell the others. Istalian, Yue, and the other two kings instantly ordered their people to get ready because they were going to move forward. The air tensed because the people had seen how Hay and Diora were so strong, but Istalian raised his voice to make their resolve stronger.

"Don't forget, we are fighting for ourselves, for our families, for our people! If we retreat today, no one will survive! So, grab your weapons and start moving because the enemies won't stop, and they will get stronger with time! That's why we are not going to hesitate and wipe them out before they can become strong enough to finish us all!"

The crowd's eyes blazed with anger, and they raised their weapons in the air. In the next second, the land trembled as countless people from different races started moving toward the enemies to make them regret the time they stepped on this planet.

Kyle gazed at them, he knew many of them would die, but he just hoped they could finish this war with as few casualties as possible. He raised his head and clicked his tongue when Diora once again appeared in the sky.

"I don't have enough divine energy to fight with you. So, it's better for you to go for a stroll once again."

He blinked and in the next second vanished into thin air.
