Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 561  What about Nine?

The battlefield swiftly started to clear up after Wesley entered the fight. The demons and dark race individuals began falling one by one under the combined forces of the elves, demi-humans, dwarfs, and humans.

Kyle killed most of the people from the dark side as he moved through the area with his spear, eliminating every person who attempted to breach his ice domain. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once the phoenix got her divine energy back, she turned into her original form to fight alongside Kyle. After all, she didn't want to appear weaker than Nox, who had changed into his original form and was helping Yue kill the enemies.

With a fierce cry and flames of fury in her eyes, Bia sought vengeance against the demons for the injuries one of their kind had inflicted upon her body.

Kyle gazed at the phoenix with enormous breathtaking wings adorned in red, golden, and blue hues that shimmered under the dark sky. Golden flames danced along her wings, creating a mesmerizing display.

"She's stunning..."

Yue stopped next to him in mid-air and gazed at the phoenix too.

"She's... but you know, Nox isn't bad at all. His iridescent scales are the most beautiful in the darkness as they start to glow."

Kyle looked at the lynx.

"But he's quite a scaredy-cat because I can see he's getting frightened by Bia for some reason, almost as if the phoenix would eat him if he's not keeping an eye on her."

Yue blinked when she also noticed Nox's strange behavior. The lynx was really keeping a sharp eye on the phoenix... She suppressed a laugh when she saw how Bia ordered Nox to clean the space before him, and he silently did what she told him. Kyle raised his hand when he noticed his domain was losing its strength.

"The area is almost cleared, and only a few people from the dark side are alive, being hunted by Wesley and the elves who had lost their friends because of them. I think it's time to end all of this."

In the next second, the icicles floating near the icy layer enclosing the area trembled. Then they zoomed directly toward the flying demons and dark race individuals and impaled their bodies mercilessly.

Wesley paused as he gazed at the icicles and blood that spread out, making the already crimson group even redder. The old elven man swiftly dealt with the remaining individuals who were still alive even after the icicles had pierced their bodies before he looked up and noticed the icy layer that had encased them cracking.

As the ice cracked, it transformed into ice flakes that drifted in the air in a captivating manner. The symbols attached to the icy layer all dissipated as well. The dark sky began to clear up due to the cold yet sparkling ice drifting in the air.

The supreme rank individuals were still fighting high up in the sky, but the ones on the ground had dealt with their enemies, which is why everyone who had been inside the icy layer started to disperse. But before leaving, they all looked at the silver-haired human floating in the midst of it all one last time to imprint his face in their minds. To ensure they never made an enemy of this young human and, if possible, ask their people to make him agree to join their side.

Wesley looked at the numerous elves gathering around him. They were all injured, their clothes drenched in blood. He sighed and glanced at the sky where the supreme rank individuals were still fighting.

The old man told the young elves to come with him to a secure location where they could care for their wounds. Even though he saw a decrease in the number of elves due to casualties, he didn't have time to grieve for the fallen because his main focus was ensuring the safety of those who survived.

Yue looked at Wesley as the latter started moving in the opposite direction, and Nox shifted into his smaller form before landing on her shoulder. The lynx glanced at Kyle before speaking directly into Yue's mind.

'So... are we not following the old man?'

Yue looked at Kyle as the man reached out his hand towards Bia.

The phoenix had also transformed into a small crimson bird. But instead of landing on his hand, the phoenix changed direction and perched on Yue's shoulder.

-"It's been a while."

Bia rubbed her head against her neck and shot Nox a secret glare. The lynx flew away from Yue's shoulder with a aggrieved look and went to Kyle for comfort.

To the surprise of both Yue and Bia, Kyle actually patted Nox's head and allowed the lynx to move around his shoulders. Jian, Xavier, and the two humans accompanying them also began to float and appeared beside the couple.

Jian looked at Yue with a smile.

"How have you been? I never thought I would see you here... but it's good that you are safe and Kyle found you. Also, what about Nine? I haven't seen that rascal who vanished with you and Elli."

He let out a sigh when he mentioned Nine. Yue smiled back at Jian. She could tell the red-haired man hadn't changed at all. He was still the same Jian she remembered, even though the aura surrounding him seemed more mature than before.

"I have been good, thanks. About Nine, I don't have much information... he left Elli and me because he had important things to take care of. Elli said he will catch up with us once he's done with his tasks."

Jian's expression turned serious. Although Yue's words sounded usual because to get stronger, one needs to explore the universe, he couldn't shake off his concern for Nine. He just hoped nothing bad had happened to that idiot who had disappeared without a word about his destination. He shook his head and looked over at Kyle.

"So what's the next move? Should we all go and find Alec and the others because you know they are also here."

Kyle hummed. So Jian also knew that the others were here?

"I know they are here, but it would be very challenging to locate them in such a vast place, so it wouldn't be very useful even if we search for them..."

He paused for a moment.

'... especially because I don't remember them, which is why I can't track their scents.'

Kyle took Bia from Yue's shoulder and placed the phoenix on his head.

"I think it's best if we wait for the Gladiator Arena to open. They will surely participate, and we can meet them there."
