Chapter 517 The Fruit of Fate III
The branches surrounding Kyle froze in place upon hearing his threat, then slowly withdrew with a remorseful rustle, allowing him to ascend on his own. It was as if the massive tree understood that the human might truly follow through on his words if provoked further.
Kyle's sharp eyes, hidden beneath the hoodie covering his head, covertly surveyed the area as he advanced towards the impenetrable cage awaiting him.
He gazed at the many elves gathered around the staircase on the ground and hovering in the air before glancing at the dark beings with expansive wings behind them. Surprise flickered in his green eyes because oddly, none of them attempted to approach the staircase to climb it or to hinder him.
He blinked once as a sudden thought crossed his mind, and to confirm his suspicions, he raised his fingers to touch the space beside him.
Instantly, a faint ripple formed in the air before him, and he felt the familiar spiritual energy barrier that had stopped him from leaving the place a while ago.
An almost imperceptible 'oh' escaped his lips as a sudden realization dawned on him. It seemed he didn't have to worry about the numerous onlookers because the staircase was encircled by a strong barrier made purely from spiritual energy, and even the supreme-rank individuals are unable to break through or pass it!
Kyle stopped in his tracks and felt the weight of countless intense stares focused on him, each stronger than the last, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
"Haha..."
A soft laughter bubbled out from his throat, and due to the solemn and hushed air, the faint noise intensified. It resounded in the air clear enough for every single individual around him to hear. In an instant, the many eyes staring at him narrowed, but Kyle didn't give a damn, especially after knowing that they can do nothing to him as long as he stood on the staircase.
After the first demon broke the silence, it seemed like a floodgate had opened because many demons began urging the man climbing the stairs to hasten his pace.
"Hurry up?? Will you?"
"Damn, this guy, I will break his useless legs... Why is he walking slower than an ant?"
"I never thought watching someone walk could frustrate me so much that I want to chop them into pieces."
The elves clenched their teeth before one of them raised his weapon towards the nearest demon with a dark expression.
"Shut your filthy mouth!"
Samara glanced at the bickering demons and elves with a scoff and refocused her gaze on the man climbing the stairs. She had a faint feeling that this person was relishing the chaos around him and her eyes sparked with interest.
No one among the people present could breach the spiritual energy barrier to harm the person inside as the Tree of Fate was stronger than all of them. Still, all the supreme-rank individuals present could clearly sense the strength of the person climbing the stairs. That's why she couldn't help but wonder what on earth this elf had consumed to exude such arrogance in front of many formidable beings, considering he had just barely entered the divine rank.
On the other hand, Kyle's lips curved upward, and his eyes twinkled with mirth. He was enjoying himself, which is why amid the many noises urging him to hurry up, he halted in his tracks.
Instantly, the demons cried out in frustration, and even the elves began to wonder how the hell someone from their own race could be so irritating as to make enemies of many powerful beings.
