Celestial Bloodline
chapter-91

After a minute, among the seven individuals who were still climbing, Carcel and the demi-human who was a few stairs above him stopped when they reached the 90 percent mark of the stairway.

Just a few seconds later, one of the two elves also stopped after reaching the 93 percent mark.

Now the elf who was wearing a mask, Alec, Jian and Bia were the only ones who were still trying to reach the top.

While they were climbing the people who weren't able to advance further were looking at them enviously.

After one minute, someone finally reached the top of the stairway.

The person who reached the top first was none other than Bia!

Kyle's eyes were almost bulging when he saw how effortlessly Bia reached the top of the Golden Stairway.

Not just him a lot of people were shocked. Lara and Mia who were standing beside him also had their eyes wide open as they looked at Bia who was standing proudly at the top of the golden stairway.

'Dam! This bird like phoenix potential is (+SSS)-Rank.'

Kyle muttered inwardly while looking at Bia with a newfound gaze.

At first, he thought she would probably reach (+S)-Rank in the future because even though Bia looked like a normal bird in the end she was a Phoenix. But now seeing her reaching the top so easily, Kyle was overjoyed.

Who would not like to have a bonded beast with (+SSS)-Rank potential!

'Well, I won't use her as a bait anymore. She is too precious, it would be a huge loss if something happened to her.'

Kyle gazed around with a proud smile and saw a lot of people who were also staring at Bia. Some were shocked, some were surprised while some with twinkling eyes...

Huh?

Twinkling eyes?

Kyle narrowed his eyes as he saw some humans, demi-humans and elves looking at Bia with greedy eyes.

The look in their eyes was very similar to the look when everyone first saw the thousands of treasures floating above the golden stairway.

'What the fuck! I didn't think about this matter.'

After he saw those individuals who were looking at Bia, Kyle become a little anxious. His happiness also vanished.

Now that Bia's talent was revealed these people who had seen her would definitely find trouble with him in the future!

Also, all the people staring at Bia were genius of different Kingdoms. After they left the Tower they will probably tell their elders or Leaders about this matter.

In the east Continent, bonded beasts were not rare but finding one with a talent of (+SSS)-Rank was almost impossible.

Even though all the Kingdoms had a peaceful relationship with each other right now but they will never hesitate to attack each other for something as precious as an (+SSS)-Rank beast.

Not to mention, someone weak like Kyle would probably be crushed just so they can get their hands on Bia!

While Kyle was sweating profoundly while thinking about his bleak future. Jian also reached the top of the golden stairway.

After Jian, Alec also reached the top. Meanwhile, the elf who was wearing a mask stopped at the 97 percent mark.

The elf was trying his best to advance further but after he climbed another stair his knees gave in. Also, he started bleeding from his nose and mouth.

In the end, Bia, Jian and Alec were the only ones who were able to reach the Top!

The old man looked at everyone including the ones who were standing at the top with a smile before waving his hand.

The moment the old man waved his hand, except for the three individuals who were standing at the top everyone else disappeared.

Bia looked back at where Kyle was standing just a moment ago and panicked. She wasn't able to sense his presence!

With a worried expression, she flapped her wings and started flying while shouting inside her mind.

-'Kyle? Kyle?'

'I am fine.'

Only when a calm voice resounded inside her head, did she finally calm down.

Jian and Alec also panicked when they saw everyone disappearing but then the old man started speaking.

"Don't worry they are fine. They are just getting their rewards."

The old man finally let go of the armor he was polishing and started floating toward the top of the Golden Stairway while looking at Alec and Jian seriously.

"You three are the only ones who reached the top of the golden stairway and according to the rules you can choose anything from the treasures floating around this floor."

"Remember you can only choose one. So choose wisely."

While speaking with a serious tone, the old man arrived in front of them within a second.

Seeing the old man who was previously too slow suddenly appearing in front of them within a second, Bia narrowed her eyes and hurriedly informed Kyle

-'Kyle this oldy is too suspicious be careful.'

'What?'

-'Right now the old man is even faster than an (+S)-Rank a far contrast to before when he looked like he would die any second.'

'Oh?'

While she was conversing with Kyle. The old man looked at Bia curiously and spoke seriously.

"Little one. It's the first time a bonded beast reached the top of the golden stairway without its partner. So, what are you going to choose as a reward."

"Also, will you go toward the next floor or accompany your friend who wasn't able to pass the trial?"

Bia looked at the old ma and blinked before hurriedly shaking her tiny head.

Of course, she would not go to the next floor!

She was not in a hurry to die. Also, for some reason, she knew she would benefit more if she stayed with Kyle instead of going toward the next floor alone.

The old man looked at Bia and raised his brow. He could sense divine energy within her body but he didn't voice his opinion and slightly moved his fingers.

A small golden portal appeared behind the old man who looked at Alec, Jian and Bia.

"Hurry up choose your reward and go. This portal will take you to the seventh floor."

Alec looked at the old man and nodded. Without even waiting for a second he pointed toward the old sword floating among the thousands of treasures.

The sword shook slightly and arrived in front of Alec who was grinning.
