Chapter 738: The battlefield I
A loud ringing echoed in Kyle's ears as his figure materialized in the center of a camp filled with countless armored warriors from different races shouting and bustling about, alongside Zhask and the rest of the group.
Kyle's gaze swept across the frenetic surroundings to take in everything.
The space was chaotic, filled with tents, supplies, and medical stations treating the gravely wounded individuals brought back by those with high agility. When Zhask and his group arrived, no one seemed surprised; instead, they ignored them and continued with their urgent tasks.
Suddenly, a few more deafening noises echoed from a distance, followed by a chorus of distant, agonized cries that attracted the group's attention.
Kyle lifted his gaze and beheld a thick blanket of blood and darkness shrouding the sky in the distance, with smoke clouds billowing up to form dark, eerie patterns. He even noticed a few tiny figures in the sky.
Before he could disappear from his position, a middle-aged female dwarf clad in dark robes and exuding an imposing presence hurried over to the newcomers standing above the teleportation array.
A familiar blue ring sparkled on one of her fingers, and a large gray sword design was emblazoned on the front of her robes.
She seemed to recognize Zhask and the other elder with him, as a smile brightened her weary face upon seeing them.
"Oh, Bill and Zask! You two are early this time. But did Galdor not come along?"
She enthusiastically slapped Zhask on the back, causing the old demi-human to scowl and swat her hand away.
A chuckle escaped her lips at his reaction as she glanced at the youngsters-though not truly young, as many of them were already over fifty or even a hundred years old-standing beside the two elders.
Her gaze lingered on the man in the ivory-colored hoodie for a moment longer, surprised that, unlike the others who had already begun donning the armor provided to them, he wore such vibrant clothing, which was rarely seen on the battlefield.
With a sigh, she pushed the thought aside; after all, he would soon realize that on the battlefield, such clothing was impractical, as it would easily be ruined. Her eyes refocused on Zhask and Bill.
"Since it's you two, I trust your people already know the rules of the battlefield, and even if they don't, the guards would have told them of everything important."
Despite saying that, she turned to look at the youngsters standing around the duo.
"I am Nora, the one in charge of this camp and your direct superior from now on. There are many other camps nearby, but they are not under my command. Regardless, you must remember that this is the battlefield."
A solemn expression clouded her face.
and rushed behind the group.
However, the man in the hoodie running at the front seemed to notice that the others had
begun to follow him.
Kyle glanced back; he had chosen to run instead of vanishing outright to encourage the twins
to muster their courage and join the battlefield without fear.
Now that his task was complete, there was no longer any reason for him to linger.
"Bia!"
After his words fell, the small bird flew out of his hoodie, her bright eyes sparkling with anticipation as golden flames erupted from her body, startling everyone nearby.
-"Haha, finally! No more hiding!"
Kyle clicked his tongue as Bia transformed into her phoenix form in front of everyone and let out a powerful cry to announce her presence to all the beasts in the vicinity.
"What a show-off."
He chuckled, knowing he didn't need to tell her what to do, since she was more than ready to head toward the area where she could sense the presence of countless bonded beasts and
monsters.
"My turn I guess."
Kyle accelerated, his eyes glowing white, and the space in front of him and Bia tore apart,
before engulfing both of them.
The duo vanished within the rift, which then sealed itself, leaving the group of individuals trailing behind and everyone who witnessed the scene in a daze.
Above the camp, in the sky, elder Hal, who had witnessed everything, sighed.
"These two are bound to create chaos. However, I'm curious to see how much they have improved. So, I will let them fight to their heart's content."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
