Celestial Bloodlinechapter 266: a few more years

Chapter 266 A few more years

The old illusionary white man standing atop a mountain gazed at the bloody scene below.

After he stopped Guil, the people from the dark race spread out everywhere to kill all the young kids who arrived in the realm.

This scene was very familiar because it has happened before. The old man thought he had long detached himself from the mortal world. However, he couldn't help but sigh at the cruel sight.

"Instead of getting stronger, the people outside had gotten weaker with time."

He looked up at the crack, his senses spread out heading toward a faraway place.

"James and Odiak hid the planet before they left... So, why do I feel like the planet's core is getting weaker? Don't tell me an outsider found this place..."

"I thought this planet would stay hidden for a long time because it was dear to them but it seemed I was wrong. A few more years maybe..."

The old man shook his head. Just a few more peaceful years and then this hidden planet would lose its protective shield. Afterward, the future of the mortals residing on this planet was bleak.

"The fact that this place stayed hidden for so long is already a miracle."

He stepped down from the mountain and disappeared into a dark cave.

...

Meanwhile, the young individuals who arrived in the realm had long started roaming but their experience wasn't good.

After the first few peaceful minutes, hundreds of strange ugly creatures with bat-like wings appeared everywhere and started hunting them like wild beasts.

Moreover, the monsters within the realm were not weak at all. They were more violet and bloodthirsty than the ones outside. Also, to make matters worse the weakest monster in the realm was (C+)-Rank!

That's why with each passing second, many youths died regretfully.

At a distance, Nine opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of a lake that was surrounded by many large boulders. He frowned as he looked around.

"What the hell is wrong with this place?"

The lake water was smelly and dirty. Nine squinted his eyes and gazed into the water. He almost freaked out when he saw many huge brown worms sleeping in the water.

'The fuck!'

He took in a sharp breath and hurriedly distanced himself from the lake. No way in hell he could defeat those huge things. Moreover, they were so ugly.

All of a sudden a faint cry echoed behind one of the boulders. With a cautious expression, Nine tiptoed and peeked from behind the boulder.

A demi-human with shoulder-length hair was fighting with a familiar brown worm. The fight was bloody and the demi-human looked badly injured.

In the next second, Nine quietly left the area. It's not that he didn't want to help. It was just his condition wasn't good enough to help others. Also, the worm was (B+)-Rank!

As he passed through a few boulders, something within his storage ring buzzed. Nine clicked his tongue and ignored it.

It was the device given to him by the Queen. After everyone entered the secret realm he and the others from his Kingdom were ordered to find Seraphine immediately.

"Instead of finding her, I should find a good quiet place to recuperate. Or else I don't think I will be able to survive in this place."

His fingers trembled and a painful expression appeared on his face. He stopped abruptly atop a boulder. His eyes dilated at the sight in front of him.

A few meters away from him, red blood dyed the pitch-black ground. A clawed hand held the heart of the lifeless body of a human lying on the ground.

Nine stopped breathing for a second. He stared at the winged man who titled his head and crushed the thumping heart present within his hand.

'Those black beady eyes...'

Nine vision turned blank. He thought the beady-eyed man he saw in his vision was a demi-human but right now in front of him, a familiar beady-eyed man was tearing the body of a young man.

The moment the winged man snapped his head to look at the boulder where he was standing, Nine jumped down and grabbed his mouth to hold his breath.

He stayed quiet and after a few seconds, slowly peeked out from behind the boulder. The dead body was still there but the beady-eyed figure was nowhere to be seen. Nine took in a large breath but then a scratchy voice sounded above him.

"What are you looking at?"

With a loud shout, Nine didn't even look up and jumped forward. He distanced himself from the boulder and stared back with sharp eyes. His sword appeared inside his hand.

The beady-eyed man unfolded his wings and started flying. A burst of delightful laughter slipped out from his throat.

"You wanna fight me? Are you sure?"

With a mocking smile, he released his (A)-Rank aura.

Nine expression hardened but in the next second, he looked up with a raised brow.

"Who said I am going to fight you?"

The man looked confused but then under his eyes, Nine used all his skills on the lake behind him.

A big worm emerged from the lake with a loud screeching sound. After the first worm, many more worms jumped out from the lake.

The man was surprised. Nine took advantage of the few seconds he got and took out a white bead from his storage ring.

He crushed the bead immediately and his vision blurred. In the next second, he was standing at a different place.

Nine sighed and slumped down on the ground.

"Now I only have three more teleportation beads."

He looked around and after seeing no one, he started running toward a nearby mountain.

"I don't think I can fight for a while. Also, the mana here is very thin. Let's just find a place to rest."

After arriving below the mountain, he found a cave and hurriedly entered inside. He closed the cave entrance and moved deep into the cave to look for a good resting place.
