Celestial Bloodline
chapter-513

Glacia gazed at the icy layer before her and without a moment's hesitation, she used a big chunk of her spiritual energy to form numerous long, razor-sharp nails.

The pointy tips of the nails shimmered with white and golden energy as she frantically directed them to breach the barrier wholly made of glistening ice. There was only one thought engulfing her mind — she had to escape this space by any means necessary. After the initial exchange with Kyle, she understood she can't defeat him.

Not when her strength was lowered for some reason!

The woman watched as the nails pierced the ice, and a visible crack appeared in the barrier's surface. Instantly, Glacia's eyes lit up with hope, and she channeled more spiritual energy to create more nails that punctured the icy surface.

In the distance, Elli and Iva, after calming down, stepped out from the wooden house through the same hole as Kyle.

The duo couldn't quite make out Glacia's figure because the woman was just moving too fast, but the two of them could clearly see the silver-haired man who had paused a few steps away from the blurred silhouette of the bronze-eyed woman.

Kyle just stood there and watched as countless nails formed in the air and stabbed the icy layer he created as if he didn't care, even if Glacia broke it. However, both Elli and Iva took in a shuddering breath when they saw a cold smile on Kyle's face. It was one thing to watch someone who is your enemy in desperation, but he... why was he laughing at the scene?

Under their eyes, he raised his hand and simply snapped his thumb and index finger together. The moment he did it, the many glistening symbols blanketing the circular layer of ice gathered together to fill up the crack that Glacia managed to make within the ice after so much struggle.

Glacia screamed and slammed her fists against the ice with even more desperation. Her knuckles turned bloodied, and her arms, which weren't even properly healed yet, started to sting with immense pain as she expended all her remaining spiritual energy to somehow break the barrier.

The land around her began to disintegrate from the immense amount of spiritual energy she focused in one place. But the crack that had appeared in the icy layer, after she poured all of her spiritual energy into it, completely sealed up before her disbelieving eyes.

"Why the hell won't this darn ice break!?"

Immediately, red veins flared up inside her eyes as she clenched her fists and used her divine energy to create as many fire spears as possible. The spears shot towards the ice, but even though the ice melted a bit, its glistening surface remained devoid of any major damage.

"Haha..."

"I can... not break it..."

She accepted with dread, and a chill ran down her spine when a familiar voice sounded behind her.

"This looks familiar... your struggle, but unfortunately, even after watching you for a while, I can't remember why."

Kyle vanished from his spot, and before Glacia could move away, he grabbed her head and slammed it into the icy barrier. Immediately, a pained gasp escaped her lips, and her bronze eyes that had turned completely red shook when she saw the pair of green eyes staring down at her.

"Regardless, I believe you are done struggling. Let's continue. Shall we?"

Glacia gritted her teeth and tried her best to get away from his grasp, but when she couldn't, she changed her tactics.

"Wait! Wait! I am sorry! Alright! Let's talk! Please, let's just talk-!"

Her words were abruptly cut short as a panicked gasp escaped her lips when he seized her shoulder and hurled her body away from the barrier before he vanished from his spot. Glacia barely managed to halt herself, but she cried out when another kick landed on her abdomen and slammed her body deep into the ground.

After that, it was just a one-sided beating... Elli and Iva watched for a few seconds, but then they both closed their eyes in fear and trepidation when Kyle grabbed the bronze-

eyed woman's hair, whose whole body was covered with bloodied injuries.

He dragged her out from one of the many pits that filled the once grassy land in front of the wooden house, before forcing her to kneel in front of him.

Kyle gazed down at Glacia... he had never erased someone's consciousness before. However, he was familiar with the process. Hubert had shared the theory with him.

He needs to peer into her mind to completely wipe out her consciousness and all her memories before severing her soul from her body. This is crucial because if the woman's soul held onto even a bit of her consciousness as a transcendent rank individual, she had the ability to reconstruct a new body for herself.

Glacia's eyes widened in horror as a cold touch pierced through her hazy vision. She snapped her bloodshot eyes up and gazed at the silver-haired man who placed his broad palm on her forehead.

"What... what are you doing!??"

Kyle raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing special. It's just getting boring, so I thought I should end it."

Instantly, a chilling premonition welled up inside her heart, and it made her beg.

"Wait... wait! Please, stop whatever you are going to do! Ahh, just stop! I said I'm sorr..y! I am s...orry!"

Her voice broke as she stared at Kyle. She desperately wanted to get away from his grip, but she couldn't move her body much.

Kyle's eyes reflected irritation when the woman started to struggle. He immediately spread out his fear skill, and even though Glacia was strong enough to counter it, her condition wasn't good enough to fight back the fear that crept into her mind and heart. She stopped her struggle and gazed at him with wide eyes filled with dread, as he ordered in a voice devoid of emotion.

"Just stay still."
