Celestial Bloodline-Chapter 546 It can’t be a concidence
Chapter 546 It can't be a concidence
After Yue informed Kyle about the spirits, Wesley quickly urged everyone around him to enter the underground entrance without further delay, or else he would lose his composure. The old man stood before the entrance and observed as the elves entered one by one due to the narrow opening.
Yue intended to join the queue, but suddenly Kyle grabbed her hand. She stopped in her tracks, staring at him with confusion. Her eyes widened when he gestured towards the spot in the distance where the spirit had disappeared earlier... only for it to reappear and head towards Kyle again.
This time, Kyle didn't flick the spirit away; instead, he reached out to hold the spirit, and it willingly allowed him to grasp its body. He then raised Yue's hand and placed the spirit on her palm.
Kyle's eyes softened. He watched Yue as she stared at the small, winged creature entirely made of light with bated breath, refraining from any sudden movements to prevent harming the delicate being. The mystical spirit tried to fly towards him, but upon receiving a dark look from him, it obediently settled on Yue's palm.
Wesley glanced back to see why Yue and the human weren't keeping up with the other elves, and the old man's astonishment was indescribable when he noticed the spirit seated on Yue's palm. He quickly approached the pair and fixed his gaze on the spirit.
"This...."
Kyle shrugged his shoulders and lifted Nox, who was sitting on Yue's shoulder. After transferring the lynx to his own shoulder so Yue could place the mystical spirit on hers, he gestured for her to enter the underground entrance.
Wesley's eyebrow twitched intensely when he was disregarded like air. He took a deep breath and exhaled because, as the eldest, he should be the one with a bigger heart. Nevertheless, they had acquired the spirit! A broad grin spread across his face as he quickly pushed Kyle, who intended to follow Yue into the underground entrance, and entered first.
Kyle blinked and watched the old man's fading figure. Nox, who was sitting on his shoulder, laughed at the scene. The human pinched his brows and also entered the underground entrance.
He stepped into the dim tunnel and hurriedly made his way towards the group ahead. Kyle's ears perked up when he heard a loud, pained shout in the distance. It was a male voice, so he didn't bother to identify who had been hurt. Upon noticing Yue's figure, he raised his hand and drew some symbols in the air to envelop her body in an array powered by his spiritual energy. This way, if she encountered a trap within the tunnel, she would be safe. f𝚛𝗲𝐞𝐰e𝗯n𝗼v𝗲𝚕.𝚌o𝐦
Wesley noticed the bright symbols but didn't have time to ask about them as he promptly vanished towards the source of the distressing voice. He discovered that one of the elves had fallen into a trap and been injured by a poisonous thread. After examining the elf's wound and determining it wasn't severe, he instructed the elf to drink a healing potion.
Yue glanced at Kyle, who appeared behind her and asked her to follow him instead of moving in front. She let out a pout but still moved back a little to give him space to pass through the narrow passage. But Kyle came to an abrupt stop when he caught her grumbling softly under her breath.
"I am strong! Don't underestimate me!"
He raised his hands in surrender and remained in his place. A faint smile crept onto his lips, illuminated by the glow of his shining green eyes in the darkness.
"Alright, then I'm counting on you to keep me safe. Your Divine energy is stronger than mine, so I'm confident that you can watch over me, and I can just relax."
Yue's face flushed at how shamelessly he portrayed himself as weaker, even though he was a lot stronger than her.
"You..."
However, as she thought carefully about how she could demonstrate her strength in front of him due to his words, her eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Kyle stifled a laugh at her words and followed slowly without any protest. He extended his scent perception skill and divine senses in all directions to detect all the poisonous traps around them.
And before Yue could even step toward them, he quietly murmured a few spells under his breath and drew some symbols in the air to manipulate the earth around them to alter the traps' positions. It wasn't hard because the traps were quite old, and the duo reached the tunnel exit without encountering any trouble, unlike the other elves who were following Wesley.
Nox, who had watched Kyle from the start to the end, mumbled spells and drew symbols, could do nothing but watch the human speechlessly. After seeing how effortlessly Kyle cleared Yue's path, he doubted the human ever needed anyone's protection. His eyes sparkled with mischief, and he wanted to tell Yue about it, but when he saw Kyle's eyes fixed on him, he quietly curbed his urge. His life was more important than a bit of fun.
The moment Yue and Kyle stepped out from the tunnel's exit, they saw a vast empty space before their eyes. Looming in front of them stood a majestic golden gate, adorned with intricate ancient symbols.
Instantly, Wesley, who was standing before the gate with the other elves, beckoned the duo over to join the others. Despite the old man's vigilance, a few elves had fallen into the traps. So, he suggested that everyone wait outside for a while and only enter the gate when they were all ready.
Kyle's eyes narrowed at the golden gate. If he remembered correctly, the last gate he saw was silver, right?
His question was answered when Wesley informed everyone that they had discovered a divine ancient tomb, indicating that the tomb would contain more divine treasures rather than spiritual ones.
'So... did the silver gates contain more spiritual treasures?'
He hummed, feeling content. After all, he required divine energy more than spiritual energy at this moment to advance to the next rank. As he moved closer to the gate, Kyle noticed a few names sloppily inscribed on one side of the gate. He approached the names and read them aloud.
"Sinon, Mia, Regius, Alec, Lara, Carcel...? These names bear a striking resemblance to the ones Yue told me about."
"It can't be a coincidence... Don't tell me they are also here?"
