Celestial Bloodline-Novel

Chapter 103 (B)-Rank Skeleton

Nixen narrowed his eyes. The red lines present within his eyes shone brightly for a second.

After seeing the situation, he raised his eyebrow with surprise.

Just like he thought, something was wrong with one of the Volcanoes.

It seemed one of the skeletons accidentally stumbled upon a patch of supreme-grade herbs and gained some sentient.

All the skeletons only had the basic sense to not attack each other, they only attacked someone whenever Nixen gave them permission, because the skeletons were made from one of his skills.

Now it seemed the skeleton who gained a little bit of sentient was trying to control the other skeletons.

Something like this rarely happened as Nixen always controlled everything on this floor. It seemed all this happened during his absence.

Nixen gazed at the three individuals who were struggling to even stand properly. This floor was used to hone endurance. That's why when Alec and Jian appeared on this floor, they only encountered one or two skeletons at a time.

"It's good they are alive."

With a sigh, he blinked his eyes and disappeared from his place. Within a second, Nixen's floating figure arrived on top of the Volcano.

He gazed inside. Amidst the black smoke, a large 30 meters tall skeleton was walking inside the pool of lava. The skeleton was continuously throwing all the other skeletons out from the Volcano.

In the middle of his chest, Nixen could see a fist-sized black core.

"A (-B)-Rank skeleton."

He shook his head. The skeleton's black core was corrupted because of consuming something it shouldn't have. Nixen wanted to let it live if it was obedient, but it seemed he had no choice.

Nixen waved his hand with an indifferent expression, and within a second the (-B)-Rank skeleton body turned into dust. The skeleton wasn't even able to resist. This was the power of an (+SS)-Rank guardian.

After taking care of the skeleton, Nixen looked at the three individuals present within the pit.

He could see that they had killed quite a lot of skeletons just in a single day.

Alec's wrist showed the number '887', Jian's wrist showed '829' and Kyle's wrist showed the number '760'.

"It's my fault for not keeping an eye on the situation. I should help them a little."

He waved his hand again and a light green hue enveloped Kyle, Alec and Jian's body.

"Now they can complete the given trial and kill 1000 skeletons easily."

After gazing once again at the trio, he left to rest.

...

Meanwhile, inside the pit. Kyle was panting heavily. He stumbled and one of his knees gave in, with a clenched fist he punched the jaw of another skeleton who tried to throw a lava ball at him.

Suddenly, Kyle felt a green transparent light enveloping his body. He panicked but he didn't even have an ounce of energy to stop the green hue from invading his body.

Within a second, the green energy seeped inside his body and Kyle's eyes widened. He felt refreshed, his tiredness also disappeared!

His mana was also completely restored. With new energy, Kyle kicked another skeleton and the skeleton's ribcage cracked.

He gazed at Alec and Jian. Their complexions were also returning to normal. It seemed they also experienced the same thing as him.

Jian looked at himself and started laughing menacingly. Now that his mana returned, he wanted to destroy all the skeletons!

"Kyle, Alec. Back off! I'm gonna release my pent-up frustration on these ugly skeletons!"

"I have struggled enough, now it's their turn!"

Alec and Kyle looked at each other and sighed with relief. There was a faint smile on their lips as they pushed the skeletons backward with all their might before jumping backward.

With a thunderous laugh, Jian used his (S)-Rank skill.

"Blazing flames."

A small flame left his palm, and within a second the small flame turned into a huge cloud and enveloped all the skeletons in front of them. The flame didn't stop and went outside the pit and killed a lot of skeletons.

The number on Jian's wrist jumped crazily and stopped at '881'

After the pit entrance was cleared, more skeletons started appearing within a few seconds.

"I am not done yet!"

Jian shouted when he saw Kyle and Alec moving forward to stop the skeleton.

With a swift movement, he used another (B)-Rank skill on the skeletons.

20 more skeletons died under Jian's attack. He was taking revenge for all the pain he suffered!

Alec kicked another approaching skeleton. After the pit was filled once again, he also used an (S)-Rank skill 'Crushing Thunder', and killed a lot of skeletons.

Kyle and Jian were both surprised when they saw Alec using a different (S)-Rank skill from before.

Alec's kill number increased and stopped at '947'. He used a few more low-rank skills and started destroying the skeletons crazily.

Kyle was standing behind Alec. His eyes couldn't help but twitch when he saw Alec and Jian going wild.

They were using everything to crush the skeletons. For a moment, he even felt pity for the skeletons who were dying nonstop.

Kyle shook his head and rushed forward to join them.

A few minutes later, while they were fighting suddenly a golden portal appeared beneath Alec's feet. He seemed to have hit the 1000 mark.

Alec's eyes widened as he looked down at the portal. He wanted to move away but within a second he was sucked inside the portal.

Kyle cursed when he saw Alec disappearing.

"He could have helped a little before leaving!"

While Kyle was cursing. After another minute, another portal appeared beneath Jian's feet who was laughing menacingly while throwing all types of spells on the skeletons.

Kyle looked at Jian's fading image and his eyes contracted.

"Shit!"

Now he was alone. The skeletons were still pouring inside the pit nonstop. The pressure on him increased the moment Jian left.

He didn't have any (S)-Rank skill he could use to kill a large amount of skeletons in one go. He had one 'Ice domain' but it was locked and can only be used when his mana stat reached (-C).

With a deep breath, Kyle jumped backward and used the second move of 'Void shattering strikes'.

-BOOM!

With a thundering sound, a lot of skeletons died under his attack.

Kyle looked at his wrist and the number jumped upward to '861'. With a serious expression, he spoke inside his mind.

'Bia where are you!'

After a second, a slow voice replied to Kyle

-'Hmm resting? Remember you told me to rest.'

A vein appeared on Kyle's forehead when he heard a sleepy voice inside his head.
