Chapter 724: Is he still alive?



Damien glanced at the gleaming weapon, uncertain of what the nature's favorite was on about. Without wasting any more time, he vanished from his position.

Before James could react or call out a warning, he reappeared directly in front of Kyle. With a swift motion, he slammed his palm against Kyle's chest, the powerful impact reverberating through the air.

Under his gaze, Kyle was sent hurtling downward, crashing into the ground with a

tremendous force that created a massive crater. Dust and debris exploded outward, obscuring the scene for a moment.

Without hesitation, James rushed forward with a racing heart and attacked Damien to prevent him from going after Kyle. After all, Kyle was only at the transcendent rank, and an all-out attack from someone who had surpassed the supreme rank would have already left him on the brink of death!

However, his eyes dilated as the first shadow general effortlessly dodged his attack and raised his hand. Under Damien's command, all the dark energy in the vicinity flowed into the massive dark blade he had conjured in the sky earlier.

James exerted all his strength and invoked a natural law. The wind currents across the entire planet responded to his command.

"Stop, you bastard! Fight me instead of someone weaker than you!"

Utilizing the wind pressure, he halted the dark blade that plummeted from the sky, moving with incredible speed toward the exact spot where Kyle had crashed.

However, with his mind occupied, he left Damien a significant opening to strike. A chill ran down his spine when he heard an amused whisper echo before him.

"I never knew you could sacrifice yourself for someone you had barely known."

In the next moment, the air was knocked out of his stomach, and his figure was sent flying backward. Damien stretched his neck and disappeared behind him.

Behind them, after the force holding the massive dark blade in the sky dissipated, it crashed down to the ground at its intended position before erupting into a sea of dark energy, engulfing everything in its wake.

He extended his senses to ascertain if nature's favorite was still breathing after enduring such a powerful attack.

Damien was occupied with James, so he knew he had to verify Kyle's death. However, his brows furrowed when he detected no living presence in the vicinity.

"I can't sense him. Is he dead or not?"

Immediately, he kicked the stunned supreme-rank demi-human beside him.

"Go check if he is alive or not! What the hell are you waiting for?"

With a furious glint in his eyes, Wyatt vanished toward the land with the demons to confirm Kyle's death, unaware that the human had already left the area.

Further away from the scene, Kyle leaned against a rock, surrounded by the remnants of collapsed structures. He let out a pained groan as he clutched his chest, the area where Damien had struck him.

Crimson blood trickled from his mouth, staining his neck and clothes.

Bia's small figure circled restlessly around him, her eyes filled with anger and worry.

-"You could have disappeared earlier! Why did you have to take that first hit?"

Kyle spat out the blood gathered in his mouth. He had used instant teleportation just an instant before the dark blade crashed down on his location.

"I did it because I wanted to make sure Damien thinks I am dead. If I had used instant teleportation earlier, I wouldn't have been able to leave the area. Also... I needed to channel enough spiritual energy into the spear so it could withstand the attack and remain under my

control."

He tilted his head and glanced at the distant place where Onicuss was floating.

"Well, I guess we need to wait for a while until the master is here. Then I can easily take Onicuss with me. Hopefully, James stays alive until then."
