Celestial Bloodline
chapter-73

With a splitting headache, Kyle appeared on the third floor.

He was dizzy due to the sudden teleportation. Also, he used 85 percent of his mana just to use the skill 'Instant Teleportation' twice.

That's why it was better for him to use this skill only when it was necessary.

While he was busy clearing his head, his feet suddenly caved inside the soil.

Kyle shuddered feeling a slightly wet feeling around his feet and legs.

He hurriedly looked down.

The ground under his feet was filled with wet soil!

He was still inside a forest but instead of grass, the ground was muddy.

Also, the large towering trees around him didn't have green leaves. All the leaves were orange or yellow, giving off a strange unsettling feeling.

Kyle didn't have many clothes to begin with. Now seeing the environment, he was sure the last remaining sets of clothes present inside his storage ring would also soon vanish into thin air.

While he was still panicking looking at the surroundings, a huge golden fireball suddenly shot out from the air directly aiming at his head.

Kyle's hair stood up as he jumped toward the left side to avoid the attack, his already half-dirty clothes became completely unsightly with mud.

With a dark expression, he hurriedly looked at the sky where the attack came from.

It was Bia!

She was furious!

Kyle gazed at Bia, for some reason he felt like he knew why she was so angry.

With a sly smile, he hurriedly tried to pacify her anger. Only to see two more golden fireballs coming directly at him.

"Shit."

Kyle barely dodged the fireballs with a sweaty forehead.

When the fireballs landed on the wet ground, it instantly vaporized.

Seeing Bia's dead serious expression, Kyle didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In five minutes, his whole body was filled with mud. Making him look like a swamp monster.

Kyle was easily able to dodge her attacks but his clothes were not so lucky as him.

Also, he almost becomes bald due to Bia's restless attacks.

In the end, to save his hair Kyle sincerely apologized. Bia also took two of the three red fruits he acquired after so much difficulty.

Kyle's heart ached when he saw her eat the two fruits in front of him.

The fruits didn't even show any effect on Bia!

He sighed, it was too unfair.

After observing the old tree's behavior for a while, Kyle knew the tree was a little childish.

He was sure the next riddle given by the old tree would be easy and he would be able to answer it.

That's why he said that Bia would also participate in the trial. He wasn't really putting her in any danger.

Well, if he really did answer wrongly and had no choice but to sacrifice Bia. He was planning on using all his skills, so she could run away.

Anyway, it was definitely not because Kyle wanted all the fruits that he decided to bet on Bia's life.

Also, the tree was rooted in a single place. It's not like it would suddenly uproot itself just to follow them.

'It probably won't right?'

Kyle hurriedly shook his head, he didn't even dare to imagine a huge tree following behind him with its roots popping out.

After seeing himself so dirty, Kyle was uncomfortable. He wanted to change his clothes but it was useless as they would get dirty again because of the environment.

He looked at the last red fruit left inside his storage ring. It was better for him to eat this fruit or else he would really start regretting everything.

Kyle hurriedly found a quiet place before eating the fruit.

The moment he ate the fruit, a warm feeling spread over his whole body but after a while, his expression changed.

The warm feeling turned too warm and soon his body started burning.

A sharp pain shot out from his abdomen before spreading inside his whole body.

Feeling the intense pain, Kyle cursed. Bia ate two red fruits but felt nothing, while he ate only one and the pain was so unbearable.

What type of fruit was it for him to feel so much pain?

After spending a whole hour in pain, Kyle's body finally returned to its normal temperature.

Kyle looked at his hands dumbfounded.

"I broke through to (-D)-Rank?"

He hurriedly gazed at his stats from the corner of his eyes.

Stats:

Name: Kyle

Bloodline: Celestial (Locked)

Rank: -D

Strength: D

Mana: D

Agility: +E

Talent: SS Rank (suppressed)

Luck: A

Skills:

.....

If not for the fruit, it would have taken him one or two more months before he broke through again.

He could feel, his physique was also greatly enhanced!

With an excited expression, he was ready to hunt some monsters to check out his new strength.

Bia who was sitting opposite to him, clicked her tongue. She ate two of the fruits but wasn't even near a breakthrough. On the other hand, he directly broke through to (-D)-Rank.

After cleaning his hands, Kyle hurriedly took out the map and looked at the last section.

The third floor was the last floor drawn on the map, which means his advantage over the others will also disappear after he advanced to the next floor.

Also, there were only ten or so golden marks on this floor. He wasn't sure why the golden marks were so low on this floor.

"Maybe, not everything is recorded inside the old scroll."

Kyle climbed up a nearby tree, he looked around with squinted eyes. Just like the map, there were only four mountains on this floor.

Also, all the mountains were too far away from him.

"I think the floors are getting smaller."

After getting a general idea of his location, he decided to go toward the biggest mountain because there were two golden marks on that mountain.

Still, Kyle didn't walk. He jumped from one tree to another to avoid becoming any more dirty.

While he was moving, he saw a group of monsters. Their body was covered with pointy scales and they looked like large lizards.

One of the monsters who seemed to be the leader of the group was (-D)-Rank while all the remaining monsters were (+E)-Rank or lower.

When Kyle saw the monsters were unable to climb trees. He directly attacked as he wanted to check his new strength.

Even though the monsters were weak, they were too many that's why it took Kyle more than two hours to defeat all of them.

After defeating the monsters, Kyle roamed around that area for a day but he didn't encounter more monsters.

He didn't even see any humans or people from any other race.
