Chapter 632: So, need a hand? Or-!
Unlike Bia and Kyle, Asher was completely shocked by the woman's words. He was clueless about the Celestial realm, but he had heard of many individuals who had touched the Celestial rank. for new novels
After all, despite being a half-dragon, he was part of the dragon race and had only been trapped in this tomb for a century.
At the top of the list were the first and second shadow generals, but it was a well-known fact among the dragon race that even though the first and second shadow generals had advanced from the supreme rank, they had only touched the boundary of the initial stage of the Celestial-rank, like many others.
'In this universe, there exists only one individual who has truly attained the true Celestial rank – Azazeal, the leader of the dark side. So, who exactly is this Nathaniel? If he is the last human to ever reach the true Celestial rank in this universe and has ascended to the Celestial realm, wouldn't that indicate that the other person she's talking about is Azazeal?'
Asher's mind raced with thoughts, yet he chose to maintain his silence.
He needed to gather more information before confirming anything.
Asher watched the human's back as the latter questioned the woman entirely made of light about the other person she had been mentioning in her words.
Kyle's gaze was locked onto the woman as she lowered her voice with a sob.
"It is... him."
He furrowed his brows.
"Who?"
Suddenly, the spiritual energy cage surrounding the woman shattered, and she let out a chilling scream that shook the entire chamber. She swiftly leaped in the opposite direction, aiming to flee the area and hide for the time being while internally committing to deal with the human later. However, before she could make her escape, Kyle raised the metallic nail in his hand and drove it into her abdomen.
"I believe I asked you a question?"
Kyle looked at Asher. He heard what the man said before stepping into the portal.
'I don't want to die either. The pain isn't scary for me anymore, but death itself is something I don't wish for.'
He didn't say it out loud, and the air around the duo fell into a heavy silence. Bia sensed the sudden change in the atmosphere.
-"What's next?"
Kyle turned his gaze toward the phoenix perched on his shoulder.
"Hmm? Let's conquer this trial ground."
Asher nodded and observed the numerous statues surrounding them, which began to move closer.
"So, need a hand? Or-!"
His sentence remained unfinished as Kyle vanished from his position.
Bia nearly stumbled, but she had grown used to Kyle's sudden disappearances, so she steadied herself effortlessly. The phoenix watched alongside Asher as the statues closing in on them began to shatter one by one, and in just a few moments, Kyle reappeared in the exact spot he vanished from, with hardly a wrinkle on his clothes.
"Done."
Kyle grabbed the base of his gloves and adjusted them to sit snugly on his hands.
The half-dragon chuckled as he surveyed the shattered statues around them. It was quite swift, even for him. Nevertheless, they had successfully completed the first stage of the trial
