Chapter 666: Oh, she is also here?
Kyle stepped out from a bathroom within the building he had entered with the others, clad only in dark trousers. Water droplets sparkled on his wet hair, flowing down his neck towards his exposed upper body, as he had just taken a bath.
However, he waved his fingers, and his entire body dried up in an instant.
A frown appeared between his brows as he examined himself. There were no signs of injury on his body, not even a scar, yet his body temperature had risen inexplicably.
"Could it be because I used my bloodline to heal my injuries? It even went into my mind space and had become eerily quiet. I am not surprised though, given all the bones I broke due to Azazeal, and the bloodline fixed them in just an hour."
He grabbed a shirt from his mind space and swiftly pulled it down his body.
"Let's just hope the bloodline doesn't wake up for a while. It doesn't bother me now, but I really don't like using it unless necessary. But now that I have gotten used to my body always being too cold... it's a bit unsettling when it had suddenly gotten warmer."
He glanced at the room he was in. Bia was sleeping on the bed in her little form.
"She must be tired from all the things she went through in a short time."
Kyle's eyes gleamed as he extended his scent perception skill in all directions. He shut his eyes and felt his skill pass through the array he had set up around the building before expanding to encompass nearly eighty percent of the sacred divine land.
"There are so many supreme ranks in the Sacred Divine Land right now, and nearly half of them have been badly injured. Oh, she is also here?"
He opened his eyes with an amused expression because he had just sensed a familiar presence. Samara, the demon he encountered on the elven planet where he acquired the fruit of fate, was also present on the same land as him.
"I did ask her to come find me for a proper one-on-one, but I can sense she has gotten stronger. Did she discover a potent treasure in this land while searching for me?"
Kyle swiftly withdrew his skill when he sensed a few supreme rank catching onto him. Samara had attained the final stage of the supreme rank. He knew she was going to pose a challenge for him.
"But I suppose it could be a fun experience... Can I face off against a peak supreme rank? The undead I encountered in the tomb were mindless and didn't pose much of a threat."
Suddenly, he leaped onto the bed, startling Bia out of her sleep and swiftly grabbed the blanket to cover half of his body.
Bia cursed at him.
-"What-!"
The phoenix's words were abruptly interrupted as a knock echoed on the door of the room, and then Yue's voice resonated from the other side.
"Kyle? I'm here to see how you're doing. Are you feeling any better?"
Kyle manipulated the air around him, causing the room's door to creak open, providing enough space for the woman outside to enter.
Yue stepped inside and her eyes immediately settled on Kyle. His hair was a bit messy, but he had removed his bloodied clothes and put on clean ones.
'Oh... he looks fine.'
She sighed with relief. She had left him in this room a while back and moved to the one next to it when the man shamelessly suggested they shower together.
However, remembering that Kyle couldn't even walk properly, she grew worried and came back to check on him.
Kyle met Yue's gaze. He could see she had changed into clean clothes. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail.
He swiftly hid the angry phoenix under the blanket, which suddenly bit his finger.
"I'm okay. Just a bit worn out."
Yue nodded in understanding.
Hearing her sharp tone and noticing her deadly serious gaze, both Regius and Asher instantly quieted down. They thought they had surely upset the phoenix and wanted to apologize, but they shut their eyes when suddenly a dazzling, brilliant crimson light filled the space before
them.
Asher quickly rubbed his eyes, nearly blinded by the intense brightness. The light seemed unusually warm and caused an uncomfortable sensation in his eyes.
"What the... Bia!"
He blinked his eyes open, all set to give the phoenix a piece of his mind for the blinding light
that could have seriously harmed both his and Regius's eyes.
However, his words got stuck on the tip of his tongue, and his jaw dropped when he saw a beautiful girl in red feathered attire, hovering above the table. Regius, who had also managed to open his eyes, was just as shocked at the sight.
Before them, strands of long golden hair danced in the wind before cascading down the girl's back. As the brilliant light faded, a pair of captivating crimson and golden eyes with blue slits gazed at the two men who were staring at her.
Bia's bare feet landed on the ground next to the table, and she touched her wrists, where the golden symbols Kyle had engraved on the edges of her wings glowed brightly.
"Oh, my human form has gotten a lot bigger than the last time."
She mumbled, completely unaware of the shock and disbelief she had caused the two men
around her. Then she strolled toward the numerous empty chairs in the lobby and dragged one toward the table where Regius and Asher were sitting. She quickly settled onto it with a
haughty expression.
"I can eat like a human anytime I want! But unfortunately, you two can't because one is an elf
and the other is a half-dragon."
Asher was still out of it. He shut his mouth and glanced at the girl who appeared to be eighteen sitting in front of him. Was she really Bia? The same tiny bird?
Regius mumbled beside him.
"What, how can her human form be so beautiful...?"
Bia didn't even care about them and began eating once again. Suddenly, Mia's stunned voice
sounded in the distance. She had arrived downstairs at the exact moment when Bia
transformed into a human.
"Bia?"
Upon hearing her voice, Bia glanced at her, and instantly, her eyes sparkled.
"Oh, come on! Join me!"
Nox landed on Mia's shoulder, giving Bia a scrutinizing look.
'She's really quite pretty... wait, how can I even think that!? She's the devil who always beats
me up!'
He scoffed inwardly and quietly mumbled under his breath.
"You think you're the only one who can turn into a beautiful human? Well, unfortunately for
you, I can do it too, okay!"
