After sending Bia away with Misha, Kyle gazed at the battlefield. He rubbed his forehead, which throbbed from using so much divine energy in such a short time. Plus, he used up all his mana by creating multiple portals and using instant teleportation repeatedly.
"It seems I will have to fight in close combat for a while until I recover some mana. If only I could draw an array that could give me a constant supply of divine energy or mana."
He let out a sigh because he knew it wouldn't be possible. First, drawing the array would require a lot of time and people. Second, he didn't have any strong resources to power the array. After all, he used up all his resources to supply enough energy to the array he built to defeat the divine rank being at the right time.
Kyle looked at Alec, Yon, and the others. They weren't exactly winning, but they were keeping the pseudo-divine rank individuals and the two divine rank elves occupied. He let out a curse when he saw two familiar figures appearing in the sky. Diora and the divine rank individual with lizard-like features.
"I just sent you two away, and you're back again. It would be hard, but I think it's better to at least take down one of them."
He zoomed in towards Alec, who was fighting with one of the divine rank elves alongside Yon, Sinon, and the other tower's guardians. Kyle grabbed Alec's shoulder and gave a nod to Sinon.
"I'm taking him. I believe you and the others can handle the man while we're gone."
The winged demi-human's eyes widened as he blocked another attack that almost sent him flying. How could the two of them leave him behind, even though they can clearly see his battered condition!
"Wait-!"

Yon swung his hammer and let out a chuckle as he gazed at Sinon.
"So, it looks like it's just us taking on this guy now. Let's give it our all and take him down, young man."
Sinon's face fell, but he nodded with a solemn expression.
'It's fine, I can take a little beating. It's just that my already hurting body will hurt a little more. So, it's fine... right?'
In the distance, Alec gazed at Kyle, who had dragged him away from the fight.
"What happened?"
Kyle pointed his finger at the sky, where an ominous aura surged out. Diora's eyes were dark, filled with craziness, and the divine rank individual with lizard-like scales all over his body had half of his clothes torn. Plus, the lizard man's head was throbbing with many angry veins, like he just wanted to destroy everything in his path.
The corner of Alec's lips twitched as he gazed at the two divine rank individuals.
"Kyle, I really don't want to suffer at your hands ever..."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Kyle raised his brow with a mischievous glint.
"Oh, what if we clashed in the future? How about this... if for some reason we had no other choice but to go against each other, you admit defeat, and if you do, I'll do the same. After all, it wouldn't be good for the well-being of this universe if the two of us started fighting each other, haha."
He shook Alec's shoulder with a laugh.
"Don't worry, though. I don't think we'll ever fight, except for some friendly spars. And I promise not to use instant teleportation in those spars. Otherwise, it would be an unfair fight."
Alec let out a sigh, but his eyes were smiling. The duo talked just like any other time, after all, no one knew what the future held. Alec gazed at the two people who had already started attacking.
"So, now what?"
Kyle cracked his knuckles.
"I don't have divine energy or mana. Just a little that I gathered in the past minute. So, I'm going to send the lizard man to Susan."
"That old man is probably resting somewhere, but he should also help now that we need it so much. Until I am done, keep Diora occupied. When I return, we'll take her down together."

He grabbed his sword and hurried towards Diora to stop her. Alec winced a little when Diora's eyes, which had turned pitch black, stared at him intensely before the woman leaped towards him with a loud, angry shout.
Kyle grabbed his communication crystal and contacted his father. His brothers were fighting alongside the people of the human Kingdom, so he knew that right now, his father was the only one who could help him.
The old man's voice came through the crystal almost instantly, as if he had been waiting for someone to contact him. Kyle chuckled, and before Ohan could ask him anything, he quickly inquired about Susan. After all, the guardian had been ignoring him despite his attempts to reach out for so long.
Kyle's eyes lit up because his father shared the news about Susan right away.
"He's with me and Eon because he wanted Eon to drink the divine essence. But Eon refused because he thought it would be painful. So, Sir Susan is forcing... I mean doing his best to convince Eon to take it."
Kyle smirked. He couldn't believe Susan remembered his request.
"Dad, do me a favor and ask Susan to go check the forest outside the border as soon as possible. Ask him to see if the monsters are behaving. With everyone busy fighting, it's important to have someone strong watching the border to prevent any unnecessary trouble."
Ohan's voice sounded a bit confused as he agreed to Kyle's request. He wasn't quite sure what his son was up to, even in the midst of a war.
Kyle closed the communication crystal and looked at the divine-ranked man covered in lizard-like scales.
"Now it's time to get rid of this lizard. At least he won't come back."
He checked his mana and sensed that he had enough for a few uses of instant teleportation. In the next second, Kyle disappeared towards the lizard man who had attacked some people, only to be stopped by Lara and Yue.
