Celestial Bloodline



The lost treasure tomb's sky was pitch black, and within that darkness, a group of demi- humans battled undead creatures that had emerged from below. Despite one of them being injured, they had defeated all the undead except for two. Their fatigued expressions glowed with relief as they vanquished another undead.

"Just one more... then we can locate a spot to hide for the night!"

One of them shouted, and everyone around him nodded in accord.

However, at that moment, the ground beneath them trembled, and a massive undead

creature, towering twice the size of a building, crashed onto the land just a short distance away from them.

They were terrified as the enormous skeletal figure, covered in decaying flesh, swiftly rose to its feet and released a thunderous roar. The pair of glowing white eyes in its skull held a hint of anger, a stark contrast to the mindless undead they had been battling until then.

This was the biggest undead they had ever come across, and the group knew they were in big trouble if it caught sight of them! But before they could even think about running, another massive undead crashed onto the one that had just stood up.

The sounds of bones crashing against each other filled the air as dust and debris once again exploded into the air.

The two undead let out roars of anger and frustration as they struggled to stand, and the group's expressions paled. All of them bolted in different directions to safeguard themselves, except for the demi-human at the forefront who was facing the last undead they were originally fighting.

The last demi-human unleashed his most powerful skill to defeat the undead in front of him, but his knees buckled, and his heart almost stopped when one of the colossal undead in the distance locked eyes with him... but then the undead ignored him and shifted its gaze forward. He hurriedly attempted to flee, but his attention was captured by a radiant light in the sky. The light streaked towards the two massive undead and disappeared, revealing the silhouette of a silver-haired man clad in blood-stained clothes. He held his breath and observed as the two undead assaulted the lone man suspended in the air, who faced their attacks head-on. "Oh my gosh!! Someone is battling two supreme-rank undead!!"

Disbelief and shock were evident in his voice as he ran for his life. He couldn't see the silver- haired man's face as the latter had his back turned toward him, and he didn't want to see it either! As he departed, a loud curse echoed in the air.

-"Damn it! Don't move so fast, Kyle, you bastard! Let me catch my breath!"

The sky above lit up with brilliant golden flames as a majestic phoenix appeared above the two colossal creatures fighting the silver-haired man.

Bia glanced at the human who didn't even bother to reply to her and was preoccupied with the two undead.

-"At least don't get injured! When the hell did you become so crazy!?"

Her eyes flickered with concern, yet she refrained from intervening as per Kyle's request. He aimed to elevate his physique and strength to the next rank.

-"Shhhh-! Does he really have to push himself that hard? Can't he just opt for normal training methods to enhance his strength and physique?"

Kyle heard her voice loud and clear, but his mind was fixated on his opponents. He had been battling the undead for hours. His knuckles ached, but he didn't halt; instead, he increased his speed even further. He refrained from utilizing any skills and simply pushed his body to the limit.

One of the undead before him fired a beam of golden light at him, and he spun his body in mid-air to dodge it before landing a solid punch at its stomach area.

A loud sound of bones breaking reverberated through the air as the undead staggered back. Quickly changing position mid-air, Kyle struck the other undead lunging at him from behind. His eyes flashed with a glint as he advanced and seized the arm of the undead he had just punched, ripping it apart from the body. The undead staggered and swung its other arm towards him, trying to smack him underground, but Kyle swiftly moved in and delivered a kick to the center of its chest, where a round plate with a faint symbol was hanging.

Cracks appeared on the plate, making the dim symbol vanish right away. The undead's glowing white eyes dimmed, and its remaining body shattered into pieces once the plate broke into pieces.

-"Third..."

Bia murmured under her breath and watched the human from the sky.

This was the third supreme rank undead he destroyed in just a few hours, and that's not even counting the countless lower-ranked undead he annihilated along the way.

If he continued at this pace, the phoenix was confident the tomb would soon be rid of all the undead creatures.

After Kyle destroyed the last undead fighting him, he once again extended his scent perception skill, which he had temporarily disabled during the battle, to detect more supreme rank undead nearby. His gaze shifted northward, and he swiftly vanished towards the location where he sensed another supreme rank undead presence. Bia muttered a curse under her breath and followed closely behind.

In just one night, almost every person who had entered the treasure tomb heard about the silver-haired human relentlessly hunting down the undead creatures.

The man would appear like a whisper, swiftly eliminating every undead in the area before vanishing just as swiftly.

Many people recognized Kyle since they had seen him in the Gladiator Arena.

So, if anyone caught even a glimpse of his shadow, they would bolt because for them he was more dangerous than the undead.

In another spot, Alec, who had just courageously rescued some lizard race members from the undead, was heading to the platform Jian had informed him about a while ago to boost his strength to the transcendent rank.

Unlike his friends, he could see their locations because he had marked all of them with a skill The acquired through the system before they entered the tomb.

Of course, he didn't mark Kyle and Bia's bodies because he knew the man would sense it immediately.

He paused when he noticed a group of people in his way and considered about changing his route to reach Jian's location swiftly, taking Mia and Nine, who were close by, with him. But the conversation of the group grabbed his interest.

They were talking about the nature's favorite and the crimson phoenix.

"Huh?"

Alec's lips fell open in shock and disbelief as he heard the group discussing how the nature's favorite had gone crazy and began wiping out all the undead in the tomb for some reason.

"What? But why?"

The group was startled when he suddenly leaped out of hiding and questioned them. Due to Alec's disheveled appearance, they initially couldn't recognize him. But when they recalled he was with the nature's favorite in the Gladiator Arena, they swiftly withdrew with highly alert

expressions.

Alec observed their expressions and calmed the tension building up in his body.

"I mean no harm. I'm just curious about the individual you were discussing."

He stepped back to reassure them. The group relaxed and somewhat lowered their guards. One of the men among them, who appeared to be the strongest, advanced toward him with a

serious expression.

"We don't know much about th nature's favorite. We only heard about him on the way. The word is, he's been crazily hunting undead, and not just any normal undead, he's going for the

strongest of them."

Alec nodded with a frown, muttering a thanks before swiftly leaving the group.

"What's Kyle up to now?"

He sighed and moved with lightning-fast speed, reaching Nine's location in no time. The merman was hidden inside a cave with a few other individuals and was quite pleased to see Alec. Having already heard about Kyle and Bia, Nine wasn't surprised when Alec mentioned the silver-haired man.

"Leave him be. If he dares to hunt the strongest undead in this tomb, I don't think we need to worry about him at all. He's probably grown stronger after using the platform Jian had told us

about."

Nine sighed deeply and, after casting a glance at the people with him in the cave, he followed Alec. He was a bit surprised that Alec had found him, but he didn't dwell on it. There are many skills one can use to mark others to find their location.

He had one as well, but since it wasn't the strongest, he rarely used it. So, he was sure Alec had also used a similar skill on everyone's bodies to locate them.

They were chatting about the others while heading towards Jian's location after Alec confessed on his own that he could locate everyone because of a skill he had, when a thunderous boom echoed in the distance, shaking everything around them. Nine glanced at

the trembling air.

"What the hell...?"

Without a second thought, the pair moved towards the sound to investigate what was going on but quickly concealed themselves upon spotting a horde of undead. They would have fled the area because battling so many undead was akin to seeking their death if they hadn't noticed the phoenix surrounded by golden flames hovering in the sky and the bloodied figure of a familiar silver-haired man fighting amidst the horde.

Kyle's figure looked eerily small compared to the colossal creatures surrounding him. A vein

bulged on Nine's forehead as he noticed the human's condition.

"That bastard! Has he gone crazy!?"

Alec's expression turned solemn, but it completely sank as he suddenly whipped his head to

the left.

"Mia's heading this way!"
