Celestial Bloodline-Novel

Samara erupted into laughter at Kyle's words, the sound resonating like a sweet melody that startled every elf who had been taken aback after discovering that the man they aimed to safeguard was not one of their own.

The elven Queen's expression shifted to one of pure bewilderment and astonishment. It took her a few moments to grasp that the individual she had just pledged to protect was a human... not an elf?

How could this be possible?

According to the countless history books she had studied, the tree of fate had only ever bestowed its fruit upon the elves.

The demon's eyes sparkled with interest as they gazed at the human. Now that he was not an elf, they wondered if the elven Queen would still go to such lengths to protect him. Samara suppressed her laughter and extended her hand towards Kyle with a wide, menacing grin.

After finding out that the man was human, she realized he needed to protect himself. So, the best way for the man to cout unharmed from this situation, where many powerful demons and elves surrounded him from all sides, was to give the fruit away.

"Pretty human, you possess good judgment. Givethe fruit, and I will ensure no demon dares to harm you."

The elven Queen's eyes contracted. She was determined not to allow the demons to take the fruit, as it would have negative consequences for the whole elven planet's future. But before she or any of the elves could say anything, Kyle withdrew his hand from under Samara's eager gaze, and then the fruit disappeared from his hand as he tossed it into his mind space.

A look of innocence crossed his face as Samara's expression darkened with angry veins flaring around her forehead, and he gestured towards her with his empty hand.

"Oops, I don't want to. Why don't you cand retrieve it? I might consider giving it to you if you... you know, plead a bit?"

He even made a pinching gesture with his thumb and middle finger in front of her to underline his words, and his eyes gleamed because he promptly witnessed the reaction he desired.

In a instant, Samara's anger exploded, and she vanished from her spot.

The elves tried to stop her, but before anyone could intervene, she forcefully slammed her entire weight into the barrier surrounding Kyle.

"You bastard! Do you think you can hide inside the barrier forever!? No! And believe me, I will make sure you face hell once the barrier shatters. Haha."

Kyle narrowed his eyes at the tiny crack that appeared in the barrier. He couldn't even properly see how the woman moved from her place before slamming into the barrier. A single thought crossed his mind that she was fast... much faster than him, at least for now. But in that moment, he sensed his body starting to vanish within the spiritual energy that had completely surrounded him.

"Tsk... it was just starting to get fun."

Samara also noticed his body fading, and her pupils narrowed so much that the white slits within turned into thin lines.

"Stoppp!"

She slammed her fists into the barrier again and shouted at the demons.

"Hurry, you useless idiots, helpbreak it! He is going to disappear!"

The elves who had wanted to stop the demons halted when the elven Queen signaled for them to remain in place.

She realized it was too late.

It seemed the tree of fate had already known that once the elves discovered the person who got the fruit was not an elf, they would not help him. That's why it was sending the human away to protect him, utilizing its final reserves of energy.

Kyle raised his hand and waved it at Samara, who shouted at him with clenched teeth. His lips twitched slightly at his own actions, and he promptly lowered his hand.

"I know I can't hide inside the barrier my whole life, that's why I shall leave. Cfindsoon, okay?"

He paused for a split second, and as if recalling something crucial, he struck his fist against his palm.

"Right, you don't know where I am going? I am heading to the Sacred Divine Land. Now, I hope we cross paths again for a proper one-on-one."

His words floated into the air as his body completely vanished into thin air. The instant he disappeared, the barrier around him also dissipated. Samara lunged forward, but her hand grasped nothing but empty air.

She let out a menacing crackle before an angry scream escaped her mouth, echoing through the entire planet. After a few seconds, she glanced at the elves and mumbled under her breath.

"It's because of all of you that I can't break through now... yes, it's because of all of you that he ran away."

"I, Samara, will make sure all of you understand what it means to be deprived of something you desire so much!"

She flapped her wings behind her back, and an angry shout escaped her mouth.

"Kill them all!"

In a flash, the demons hovering behind her all lunged at the elves. The battle raged on, and the air filled with the smell of blood and metal as even the supreme-rank individuals exerted their full force to defeat opponents of equal rank.

The elven Queen's gaze turned grave at the scene. She drew her weapon, and alongside her shadow, the duo faced off against Samara to protect the innocent citizens under the Tree of Fate.

The white-haired elven woman wiped the blood oozing from her mouth and raised her head to look at the sky where a crack appeared. She narrowed her eyes and muttered quietly to herself.

"I can't seem to gauge the strength of the person who is entering the planet. It's someone extremely powerful..."

The elven Queen pushed Samara aside and glanced up to follow the white-haired elven woman's gaze. Her body stiffened as she saw a male figure dressed in skin-toned attire emerge from the crack.

The man watched the intense battle between the elves and demons with his piercing blue eyes. His gaze briefly flickered towards Samara's frantic figure before he vanished from his spot, only to reappear above the very branch where the fruit of fate had blossomed just a day earlier.

A deep voice resonated from his lips.

"It's gone."
