Celestial Bloodline-Novel

Damien rubbed his chin. He had seen Samara before a few times because she had been striving to attain the title of the sixth shadow general, even going as far as searching for a way to meet Azazeal. So, he knew she was also on this plfor the fruit of fate to increase her strength.

"You have got potential... you know I can see you can reach the Celestial rank if you work hard. So, don't let this small setback hinder you because I hope to see another Celestial rank by my side soon."

His voice grew more intense, and those who paid attention could detect the subtle threat in his words.

"Forget about the fruit because I need it."

Samara nodded and Damien gave her an approving look.

"Alright, now tellmore about that human. I believe he has not consumed the fruit yet since the branch from which it was taken still lacks any leaves."

There was a hush in the air because all those who were familiar with the fruit of fate knew it required careful preparation before consumption. If the Tree of Fate's branch, where the fruit blossomed, stayed bare of leaves, it signified that the fruit had not been eaten. Ultimately, the fruit was incredibly potent because it not only greatly boosted the consumer's strength but also possessed the ability to reshape and improve their fate.

Samara started telling the first shadow general everything about the silver-haired human except his location, saying that he had disappeared without a trace. The numerous elves who overheard Kyle's loud proclamation about heading to the Sacred Divine Land all fell into an eerie silence and watched the demon as she lied with a serious face.

They couldn't believe there would be a day they would see someone bold enough to lie in the face of the first shadow general, known for being ruthless.

Samara's eyes crinkled a bit as she deceived the man who had reached the initial stage of the Celestial rank. She knew that even though the elves didn't get the fruit of fate, they wouldn't let the demons or the shadow general take it.

Therefore, they wouldn't tell the shadow general that she was lying!

As for the demons circling around her, despite their unruliness, they understood when to remain silent because ultimately, their lives were in her hands.

After she was done, Damien stared at her with narrowed eyes. He had his suspicions, but it's not like he can peer into her head and kill a demon who had the potential of reaching the Celestial rank in the future. Moreover, when she was describing the human's appearance, he detected no lie in her eyes. But... for a moment when she mentioned that she didn't know where the human went, he did sense a faint ripple in her eyes.

"Hmm, silver hair and green eyes, you say? He also has powerful icy blue flames..."

He thought for a second and glanced at Samara with a serious expression.

"That's enough. Now that I know his appearance, I will send my people to search for him. Also, you have been staying on this planet, right? Just remain here and keep an eye on the branch. I can't keep coming back to check if the branch has any leaves. Letknow immediately if you sense even a single leaf growing on the branch."

Samara nodded eagerly, and Damien mentally noted to physically bind her to himself once she reached the final stage of the Suprrank. This way, she would understand the consequences of deceiving those superior to her. He had faced this situation several times before.

Demons and those aligned with the dark side were all sly and constantly pursued what would serve them best. That's why he disagreed when the second shadow general carelessly exempted the demon, dark, and nightkin races from having to put a dark petal on their bodies just to display their loyalty if they didn't want to. After all, these three races were inherently dark and willingly followed Azazeal for power.

'Tsk, that fish was just being greedy. He's the strongest among us five, but he hates sharing his power. I will have to speak with master directly about this so we can fully control these three races too.'

'It's not like master lacks dark energy... he has enough to dominate half of this universe with it if he chooses to.'

He glanced at the Tree of Fate one last time, and within moments, a crack formed before him. Without uttering another word, he stepped into the crack and vanished. He had numerous tasks at hand, unlike these incompetent demons who have failed to conquer the elven pleven after so many years.

He needed to return to the war as well; otherwise, that troublesblack-haired human and his followers would once again go on a killing spree in his absence to claim the lives of the many formidable individuals fighting for the dark side.

The second shadow general had also withdrawn from the war to recuperate and investigate the rumors he heard about the Celestial spirit that is supposedly hiding within the Sacred Divine Land.

Damien really hopes that the fish find at least one Celestial spirit in the Sacred Divine Land, or else he will have to teach Ceano a lesson, even if it means enduring a beating in return. After all, he had to bear the full brunt in the war because the four other shadow generals are all off doing who knows what.

'Now that master has woken up, I hope he gives the others spunishment because they have all been wasting time.'

After Damien disappeared, Samara grinned and scanned the demons around her, who all began trembling under her gaze.

"Did you all hear what the first shadow general requested? Keep a watch on the branch and inform him immediately if it starts to grow leaves. In the meantime, I am heading to the Sacred Divine Land to search for that human. Haha..."

Her gaze sharpened.

"I believe nobody will open their mouth when I'm not around because if they do, they would have to die together with me."

Samara didn't even glance at the elves and retrieved a round wooden artifact from her mind space. The artifact brightened in her palm, and several symbols illuminated around her.

Subsequently, she disappeared from her location as the artifact teleported her directly to her desired place. The air fell silent for a moment after she vanished, then a single word slipped from the elven Queen's lips, sending chills down the spine of every demon floating in the air.

"Kill!"
