Celestial Bloodline

Kyle closed his eyes for a moment. Suddenly, he remembered his conversation with Bia. She sounded a bit hesitant, and now, seeing so many undead, a sense of foreboding crept over him.

Without a word, he disappeared from his spot, reappearing in the sky. He needed to locate both Bia and Yue. But they were both in different directions, so he headed towards the nearest one first.

Asher, who was taken aback by the sudden emptiness beside him, blinked. He turned his head back and noticed the human's figure floating in the distance.

"Where are you going!? Wait for me!"

He exclaimed suddenly, then quickly covered his mouth with his hands, wide-eyed. The howling undead nearby fell eerily silent upon hearing his loud voice.

"Oh no... Looks like I messed up..."

He really did, as when he jumped out from behind the rock where he was hiding, a heavy bony whip crashed onto the rock, shattering it into countless pieces.

"No no no!!! Don't chase me!"

He dashed through the air because, unlike Kyle, who vanished to a far-off place using his teleportation skill upon realizing the blunder he made, he didn't have any teleportation skills!

Asher cursed and his pupils dilated as he witnessed a multitude of weapons hurtling towards him! The undead even utilized their abilities to summon numerous fire, ice, and earth attacks in the air, all aimed at ending him! He chuckled through the tears, threatening to spill from his eyes.

"It seems I have encountered my first betrayal in friendship in this life. But does he really believe I would succumb to just a bunch of bones??? No way, I will flee and return stronger than ever-!"

His words were abruptly interrupted by a familiar voice echoing behind him.

"Shut up!"

Asher's eyes lit up. He knew deep down Kyle wouldn't betray him! Even though he could have gotten away from this place and the undead without a scratch, it would have been devastating for him if his first friend after all these years had ditched him.

However, before he could express his joy and gratitude, a hand emerged from the portal that had appeared behind him and grabbed his collar, pulling him inside.

Kyle tossed the man he had just grabbed aside with a click of his tongue.

"How the hell can you make such a big mistake? Even after living in this land for so many years, you have no brains."

Asher balanced himself in mid-air and scratched his head with an embarrassed smile. He was obviously the older one, but he had been behaving so childishly all along. But who can blame him? He was just too excited after meeting a human.

"Don't worry. I have collected many life-saving treasures from this land. So, even if I am surrounded by hundreds of supreme ranks, I can save myself. But I am glad you are worried about my safety."

Kyle's lips twitched violently. He wanted to ask the man, if he had life-saving treasures, why was he bawling and accusing him of betraying? But instead, he took a deep breath to steady himself.

He spun around and swiftly made his way to where he sensed Bia. Yue was quite a distance away from him. Asher noticed him leaving and promptly trailed behind. Flying through the air at high speed, Kyle detected numerous individuals who had entered the Lost Treasure Tomb below, battling the undead. He glanced at Asher from the corner of his eye.

"I'm curious, why are you tailing me? We have already passed by many humans and individuals of other races."

Asher smiled softly, but the next words that escaped his lips were something Kyle never expected to hear.

"Of course, it's because we are already friends, and, also... you have got something intriguing in your body that they lack."

Kyle paused in his place, a smile appeared on his lips, though his eyes lacked warmth. He reached for his weapon, and his sword appeared in his hand.

Asher glanced at the golden sword and clicked his tongue with a sigh. His face grew serious.

"I already told you we are friends. If I was some greedy person trying to attack you just to get the powerful thing inside you, I would have done it by now. So, put the weapon away. I promise on my soul, I won't tell anyone about it or harm you. If I do, may my strength never grow."

He scratched his chin with a mix of embarrassment and curiosity.

"I never intended to pry, but it happened accidentally due to a skill I possess. I'm really intrigued though, what's that thing? It's got some serious power, but honestly, I don't know what it is as I have never come across anything like it before."

Kyle didn't stow his sword back into his mind space. Instead, he fastened it to his waist with a cold expression.

"It's best for you not to uncover what's hidden. Otherwise, it won't end well for you."

Asher raised his brow at his words. He truly didn't aim to harm Kyle. The instant he felt the peculiar power within the human's body, he sensed a danger that clearly warned him he would face death if he even dared to touch the power within Kyle's body.

That's why when he first saw Kyle, his mouth was left hanging open because he had never sensed such a potent threat to his life before, not even when he was chased around by countless undead.

"Alright, alright, I hear you... I'm not trying to snoop around. I was just a tad curious. But seriously, where are we headed? Come on, give me a hint at least."

Kyle shot him a look and kept flying towards the west. He extended his scent perception skill even farther, but oddly, its range was getting disrupted and restricted whenever it encountered a creature of supreme rank.

"You don't need to tail me. I'm just searching someone I know."
