Chapter 431 How about a good meal?

Carcel coughed a few times as he stepped out from a portal and appeared above the battlefield. He tried to calm his heart which was beating wildly because a while ago, he saw his life flashing before his eyes.

'The glowing symbols enveloped me as well with that divine rank individual. I seriously thought I was a goner!'

He ran his fingers through his hair and glanced at Kyle, who appeared beside him, breathing irregularly.

"You could have told me it's dangerous and can potentially threaten my life."

Kyle wiped his forehead with his sleeve.

"But I saved you just in time, didn't I? So, no need to worry."

Carcel took a deep breath. He thought he was more level-headed compared to Alec and the others who always wanted to beat up Kyle. But every time he experienced something like this, he understood where they were coming from. He ignored Kyle and quickly joined the others who were fighting in mid-air. Kyle glanced at his fading back and let out a chuckle.

"Maybe I should have told him that I calculated the time and knew when the symbols would explode. So, there's no way I could mess up the time we had to leave."

His eyes scanned the battlefield. Unlike before, now he could clearly see that the people of Coexis were winning.

"The ones with black petals engraved on their bodies had started fleeing in different directions. It seems they noticed that all the strong individuals on their side had either been defeated or disappeared."

Kyle glanced at the last divine-rank individual. The man was getting beaten up by so many people that he knew there was no need for him to interfere.

His eyes paused on the pseudo-divine rank individuals Jian, Yue, and Lara were fighting and he vanished before appearing behind one of the pseudo-divine rank individuals.

Yue paused in her actions when she saw the bright silver hair. She blinked and watched as Kyle easily took care of her opponent. She immediately realized that she was staring at the man too intensely, but she didn't stop.

Maybe it was because of his hair, which had once again started to shine brightly, or was it solely because it was him?

Kyle kicked the body off his sword and watched as it plummeted toward the chaotic battleground below.

He took a deep breath and looked at the blood on his hands. Then, his gaze shifted to the elven woman floating across from him. He knew that throughout the fight, Yue was keeping her eyes on him, and it made him feel self-conscious.

'I do want to go near... but I'm drenched in blood. Next time.'

He was about to disappear toward the battlefield, but someone grabbed his hand. Kyle felt the warm sensation on his skin and glanced back at Yue.

The corners of his eyes lifted as he looked into the eyes staring at him.

"I guess now they can handle the rest... My whole body is aching, and I have no energy left in me. There's no way I can continue."

He closed his eyes as the phoenix roamed above the battlefield, which grew more chaotic with each passing second. Not because of the enemies, but because the soldiers and fighters from Coexis started chasing after the individuals with black petals engraved on their bodies.

Alec, Carcel, and the tower's guardians also joined the battle happening on the ground after killing the remaining pseudo-divine rank individuals.

Time passed with countless metallic sounds echoing in the air. Kyle's ears twitched when he heard Nine's familiar voice.

"Bia, can I sit on you too? I'm tired as hell, and the alive old foggies from my Kingdom will work me if I go down now. So, let me hide on your back for a while."

The phoenix snickered at the brown-haired man with narrowed eyes.

-"No way, one is already heavy enough!"

Kyle opened one of his eyes and gazed at the man whose condition was even worse than his. He smirked and closed his eyes again.

"Nothing is free in this world, my friend. How about you bribe her? Maybe she'll let you sit on her."

Nine gazed down at the battlefield. It had grown louder with everyone killing the remaining enemies, and the soldiers had started cheering with tears of relief.

"Bro, honestly, I don't think there's anything I can give her. She's already at a rank where normal treasures won't tempt her. So... how about a good meal?"

Kyle opened his eyes and stared at Nine with shock.

'So cunning, he knows Bia's weakness!'

He clicked his tongue when Bia agreed with twinkling eyes at the mention of food and told Nine that he could sit on her back.

Nine sat down beside Kyle, who stretched his neck and closed his eyes again. Kyle's ears twitched again when the man beside him let out a big sigh.

"Actually, there's something I want to tell you. That's the second reason why I came here."

"Oh, what is it?"

Kyle quickly sat up when he sensed the seriousness in his voice. In that moment, Nine pointed at his eyes.

"You know, I can see the future. It's only for a few seconds, but it's usually true. A while back, or rather, a few years ago, I saw a vision after I touched Alec."

"It was the first time I saw something so clearly... so it's still fresh in my mind."VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
