Chapter 643: Don't tell me he really lost it...?



A while later, Regius slowly opened his eyes and exhaled deeply with a bright smirk. "I have grown more powerful!"

The golden shield around his body dissipated, and he stood up, prepared to confront the many individuals who were supposed to be in the area as he had forcefully taken over one of the circular structures. But he was surprised when he saw the space around him empty.

Only a familiar silver-haired human sat on one of the elevated circular structures nearby, surrounded by a golden shield.

Regius blinked and eased his body.

"When did he arrive here?"

He moved towards Kyle and began to pace around him, waiting for the man to open his eyes and step out from the golden shield.

"It will require some time for him, just like me... what should I do in the meantime?"

Reguis decided to leave the area to search for some treasures in the rock formation. However, he was left speechless when he found himself unable to exit the space because of a barrier.

Behind him, Kyle's eyes snapped open, and with a mere flick of his finger, the shield around him shattered into fragments.

"You are finally awake."

Regius jumped at the sound of the voice but then let out a sigh, realizing only Kyle shared the space with him.

He turned back.

"I am-!"

His words were abrubly cut off as he saw Kyle trying to pick up the structure the man was seated on just a second ago.

"What are you doing?"

Kyle paused and glanced at him. It took nearly five hours for Regius to wake up.

During that time, Kyle had discovered everything about the raised structures after he somewhat succeeded in extending his scent perception skill beyond his body.

He initially believed the structures were fueled by a source, but his assumption was incorrect. They were crafted from a unique material that absorbed spiritual energy from the surroundings and stored it within.

Kyle gestured towards the five structures.

"I'm taking them with me. They are, you know, kinda useful..."Cheêck out latest novels on n/o/ve/l/bin(.)c/o/m

Regius's eyebrow twitched.

"What if you damage them by forcibly taking them?"

Kyle waved his hand.

"Don't worry, they won't get damaged. I've already checked everything."

He swiftly detached the structure from the land and stored it in his mind space before repeating the process with the other four. Once he was done, he destroyed the array he set in the area.

Regius observed him silently until a portal materialized in front of him.

Kyle moved toward the portal.

"Let's go. I will send you to Jian's location. You should use the platform like the others to reach the transcendent rank."

Regius followed but paused when he suddenly recalled something.

"Wait, have you explored the trial grounds next to the three massive statues around this rock formation? I spotted an ancient carving on my way here, and it hinted that those trial grounds held the inheritance of some powerful people."

Kyle stopped in his tracks.

He had seen the three statues encircling the rock formation, and for a while now, he had been mulling over the idea of exploring the trial ground next to the statue that belonged to the ice enchantress.

After all, she was one of the individuals who had a hand in creating this tomb.

"I haven't done it yet. I thought it would be best for me to send you to the platform before going to check them."

Regius smiled.

"Thanks. I would have had to face many opponents after standing up from the structure, but you handled them all."

Unbeknownst to him, Kyle was actually distracted by the peculiar pressure in this rock formation and had stopped to sharpen his senses and scent perception skill.

They entered the portal and met up with Jian and the rest.

Bia quickly left Mia's side and landed on Kyle's shoulder when she saw him.

He ventured into the formation and discovered a suitable spot to sit down, utilizing the pressure in the area to enhance his senses and scent perception skill.

Bia was a tad confused by his moves, but her confusion turned to shock as she saw blood

trickling from his mouth.

-"What are you doing now!?"

Kyle grabbed a blanket from his mind space and enveloped the panicking phoenix in it.

"Rest for a while. Don't succumb to panic every time. If I don't endure this, I will never grow

stronger."

Bia grumbled quietly to herself.

He was correct, but she couldn't help but wish he did not endure pain as though it were

routine for him.

She closed her eyes and after a while drifted off to sleep on his lap.

Kyle concentrated on the pressure surrounding him. He was certain he could encompass the entire formation with his senses if he persisted in training under the pressure for a day or two. Eventually, a familiar bell chimed throughout the entire tomb, signaling the end of the day. The undead rose from the ground and started battling those wandering the tomb.

The night came and went, but Kyle didn't step out from the rock formation; he stayed inside

for two entire days.

Jian and the others tried to contact him through the communication crystal to let him know they were going to separate, but he was so focused with his eyes closed that he didn't respond.

A powerful icy aura began to form around his body as he persistently extended his senses and scent perception skill outward, only for them to break under the pressure and reform repeatedly, becoming stronger with each cycle.

He eventually opened his eyes when he managed to encompass the entire rock formation with

his senses and scent perception skill.

He detected numerous individuals and valuable items within the formation. The pressure no

longer bothered him.

Kyle's eyes gleamed with a radiant green glow as, along with his scent perception skill, he extended his senses far beyond the rock formation, swiftly traveling faster than light to

encompass everything.

The night had fallen once more a little while ago, hence he sensed many undead.

His peered into the trial grounds beside the three massive statues encircling the rock formation and successfully penetrated the barriers around them.

A smirk lit up on his face as he sensed all the treasures inside them.

All was proceeding smoothly, and even though his natural senses stopped after covering half

of the tomb, his scent perception skill continued further.

He managed to handle the myriad scents, despite his mind growing increasingly dizzy with

each passing moment.

However, he abrubly stopped his skill and attempted to pull it back when he sensed the

presence of a powerful spiritual creature.

Kyle's smile vanished, and he coughed up blood as, before he could fully retract his skill, the

creature seized a portion of it and shredded it into pieces.

Bia, who had awakened and was bored just sitting around, panicked when she noticed his

expression losing color.

Her eyes widened as he let out a loud laugh, wiping the blood off his lips.

-'Don't tell me he really lost it...?'

She looked at him with concern and circled his body as Kyle rose with a cold smile, gazing

towards the place where he felt the presence of the creature.

"So, there really is a Celestial spirit in this tomb...? Aze, my friend, looks like we will be meeting again sooner than I thought."
