Celestial Bloodline-Novel

Chapter 273 The Line Is Crossed

A shrill cry rang out above the stage as Bia watched how more and more wounds piled up on Kyle's body with each passing second.

She flapped her wings and many fire arrows formed out of thin air. The arrows crashed at the running monster's back with a lightning-fast speed, the monster stopped momentarily. It didn't expect the tiny thing would attack again.

The pair of deep blue eyes stared at Bia before the monster stepped back to look at Kyle's panting figure.

It let out an irritated huff. At first, it only had to chase a single person who ran around in circles like a buzzing bee but now this tiny thing who can't even scratch a tiny part of its skin dared to attack him from behind!

A sharp glint flashed through its eyes, the monster had enough of this chasing game! It wanted to finish the prey as soon as possible.

A low growl rumbled from the monster's throat, under Kyle's gaze, the monster's blue eyes lost their color and two thin red-grey slits appeared between its pupils.

Kyle's hair stood up behind his back. A faint bad premonition surged inside his heart, he knew something was off with the monster.

His grip on his sword tightened and his eyes darted around at a fast speed.

'I am injured, my flames aren't working on this thing... if it continues I don't think I will be able to continue after my mana runs out.'

Kyle knew there was no way out from here. While Bia was unconscious he had tried jumping off the stage but he was stopped by a strange wall. That means he and Bia had to kill this thing before they could leave.

He knew the pressure of a (S)-Rank monster wasn't something he could cope with easily. His eyes darted to the stage that was filled with his blood.

lightsΝοvel 'I can only hope it works...'

As he thought, the land below his feet started trembling. Kyle's eyes widened when he sensed a powerful force under his feet.

The monster eyed him with a smug expression. Kyle cursed under his breath but instead of panicking he instantly used his skill to teleport at the other end of the stage.

Bia gasped when the place where Kyle was standing a second ago blasted. In an instant, pieces of broken stones flew everywhere with a large cloud of smoke.

A faint shock flashed through the monster's eyes. It ranked its gaze at the place where Kyle was standing, only to see nothing.

On the other hand, the pair of green eyes staring at its back turned cold. A sudden current flashed through Kyle's eyes, he saw how the monster just blasted a large part of the stage like it was nothing.

'This fucker wanted to kill me! I thought this thing wanted to eat me but... now the line is crossed!'

At first, Kyle wanted to save as much mana as possible because he was not sure what would happen after he killed the monster. This place was too strange. What if another monster appeared out of thin air? What if the mechanical voice threw him into another life-threatening situation?

Kyle's face turned expressionless and a large amount of mana enveloped his sword, illuminating it with a whitish-grey hue.

The monster's eyes snapped back when it sensed the violet mana movement.

'Bia, don't do anything now. After I am done help me distract this thing!'

Kyle shouted in his mind. The monster leaped at him, however, instead of retreating Kyle swung his sword smoothly on the monster as he mumbled in his mind.

'Second strike: Eradicate'

The monster froze for a second, the energy pulsating around Kyle's sword wasn't dangerous enough to threaten its life. Still, the energy was extremely-violet and could probably give it a few deep injuries.

The monster wanted to dodge but Kyle used instant teleportation again. He appeared above the furry body in an instant, and the glowing vortex on Kyle's sword exploded when it touched the monster's body.

The monster's eyes contracted into thin slits, due to Kyle's sudden move it wasn't able to react in time. In the end, even though its speed was higher than Kyle's, it could not match the speed of instant teleportation.

With a loud cracking sound, the monster's huge body was pushed backward, and a bloody gash appeared on its neck because Kyle chose the most vulnerable part of its body.

A cold chuckle echoed in the deadly silent stage, the monster snapped its eyes up and saw Kyle looking at him with a cold smile.

Anger flooded in its eyes and the monster who didn't have much intelligence to begin with went berserk.

Bia's eyes widened at the sight, she cursed in her mind. Kyle was provoking the monster! Amidst all this, she followed his words and started raining one fire attack after another on the already muddled-headed monster. She had to distract that huge thing!

Due to the onslaught of so many attacks, many injuries formed on the monster's body. However, it was evident, that those injuries were not enough to kill it.

Kyle suffered a few more injuries as he nimbly dashed around a certain part of the stage with a focused expression. Bia's expression turned ugly. With each passing second, her mana thinned and she knew after another minute, her mana would run out.

She gazed at Kyle who was still running around, he would just occasionally attack the monster once or twice, and nothing else.

-'What the hell are you doing? Running around aimlessly!'

Kyle merely raised his brow, his focused eyes never lifted from the ground under his feet. He sucked in a deep breath.

'Stop attacking, I am going to finish this thing.'

Bia looked confused as she watched Kyle who suddenly stopped a meter away from the monster silently.

The monster let out a loud growl when Kyle pointed his finger below, two pairs of eyes snapped downward frantically. Bia's eyes widened at the sight. On the other hand, the monster's eyes flashed with confusion.

The place where the monster was standing, strangely had many scattered glowing mana stones. Moreover, if one looked closely they would see the faint bright symbols drawn on the ground.

"It's the first time I used mana to draw an Array... "

Kyle's eyes sparkled at his own masterpiece. He couldn't believe he actually did it. He thought gathering mana outside his body to form Array symbols would be very hard but after he tried, it wasn't as hard as he expected it to be. It was rather easy.

Now, if Elder Han or any other Array master heard his thoughts they would probably spit out blood. It took them so many years just to learn the basic theory of how to form mana symbols but Kyle did it on his first try just because he knew the theory.
