Chapter 528 At least, I didn't die

A frown was visible on Kyle's face as he gazed at the man sprawled before him. He got the answer to his first question, albeit somewhat vague. Perhaps the vagueness stemmed from his missing memories. The man disclosed his name and mentioned a planet known as the 'blue planet,' the birthplace of both him and Kyle.

Subsequently, he explained that their enmity was minimal since they had never formally crossed paths, except Leroy messed with the ethereal tunnel before leaving the blue planet. So, if someone attempted to use the tunnel to reach the Sacred Divine Land after him, they would either die or become lost in the vast universe if they were sucked into the messed-up ethereal tunnel.

The man did this to get back at his old enemy, Odiak, and planned to kill as many of the guardians of the Tower of Opportunity as possible.

Kyle let out a sigh, completely unaware of who these guardians were. However, one thing was certain — he had finally discovered his place of origin.

He quickly asked Leroy if the man had any knowledge about his family, friends, or acquaintances he had on the blue planet, but the man shook his head. Leroy only knew a thing or two about Kyle, mostly what he heard from Istalian.

Kyle's interest was piqued when all of a sudden the man hesitatedly shared information about his bonded beast. He was genuinely surprised to discover that it was not a muscular dark beast as he had thought but a beautiful fire phoenix.

"Bia... you say?"

He rolled the name on his tongue, and it felt more familiar than he expected. Almost as if he had called this name numerous times in the past. Kyle's demeanor relaxed a bit as he began to exert a little pressure on his head to remember anything about Bia, but unfortunately, even after a long minute, he had no recollection of the phoenix.

Now, he was curious and eager to see the phoenix, but his eyes darkened when he saw the man before him, who once again attempted to flee when he got distracted. Kyle let out a chuckle and stood up to gaze at the man's crawling figure.

Kyle, whether alone or with others, attempted to use the ethereal tunnel after Leroy, and the tunnel exploded. In the end, out of the two possible outcomes - death or being sucked into the tunnel - the latter likely happened to him. He was sucked into the ethereal tunnel and somehow ended up in the No Mana Land.

"At least, I didn't die."

He shook his head with a wry chuckle and glanced at the large silver gate that stood slightly ajar across from him.

After pondering for a moment, Kyle approached the door, but he didn't go inside the tomb. Instead, he gripped the silver door and spread out his scent perception skill. Before, he couldn't figure out what was in the different chambers he sensed buried underground due to the barriers around them. But now, as he stood in front of one of those chambers with the door open, he effortlessly extended his skill inside to explore its contents.

Kyle's nose wrinkled because the smell inside was ten times stronger than outside, especially the scent of decay and death. It was almost as if he was sensing remnants of someone. After a while, he let out a sigh and withdrew his skill because all the treasures within the chamber were linked to spiritual energy. Plus, even if there were treasures that contained divine energy, they weren't particularly useful to him.

He stepped away from the silver gate and closed it shut before walking toward the exit of the place, but at that moment, he saw a familiar small floating body of light approaching him from the distance.

Kyle clicked his tongue and this time just flicked the mystical spirit away with an annoyed expression.

"I don't want any more bugs around me."

He blinked and vanished from his spot, heading straight toward the presence he had marked. After all, the night was long, and it's not like he was sleepy.
