Celestial Bloodline-Chapter 523 What is this thing...? A bug?

Instantly, another fight between the elves and demons erupted in mid-air, but with Samara's absence, the elves started to overpower the demons. The elven Queen glanced at the white-haired woman beside her amidst the battle and whispered softly.

"Go to the Sacred Divine Land. Locate that human and secure the fruit of fate from him before the first shadow general or Samara catches him. I don't want the fruit to end up in the wrong hands."

The old white-haired elven woman halted briefly but then released a sigh.

"No, my Queen, let's just leave the fruit be. The tree has bestowed it upon that human, and I believe there's a purpose behind it. Now it's up to the human to decide whether to consume it or to pass it on."

She glanced at the elven Queen.

"I have never opposed you before, and this is the first time I am requesting something. I understand it's challenging to let go of something so valuable, but..."

"... I believe this time the fruit was never meant for our race."

The elven Queen went quiet for a moment after hearing the woman, then she patted the old woman's shoulder with a nod.

"Alright, I will honor your request this time. No need to chase after that human. Let that young man carry the burden of owning such a powerful treasure."

But in that moment, only the Tree of Fate was aware that these simple words saved the life of the white-haired elven woman, and the future of the elven race underwent a significant transformation.

....

After Kyle reached the Sacred Divine Land, he cursed as his body plunged into a pool of warm water, and an unfamiliar warmth spread over his extremely cold body. He hissed at the feeling and quickly jumped out of the water.

Immediately, he clicked his tongue in irritation as his clothes became soaked. Glancing around, he noticed numerous lush and large green trees encircling the lake where he had landed.

He murmured a spell and manipulated the air around him to quickly dry his clothes within seconds. A grin appeared at the corner of his lips as he remembered what he had just done a while ago.

"Not bad... It was enjoyable."

Kyle closed his eyes and gazed at the fruit floating in his mind space. It sparkled beautifully but... oddly before his body vanished from above the massive tree, he heard an unfamiliar voice echoing in his head. The voice was similar to an elderly woman who had not spoken for many years. It advised him not to eat the fruit he acquired, at least for now. Otherwise, his empty fate would be sealed on a single path, and he would face loss.

"Hmm, it said empty fate? So, I don't have a destiny? Great, just great. I already have no memories of the past, now I don't even have a fate... tsk tsk, just what else can I expect from nature."

He shook his head and secured the strands that had fallen out from his tied hair tightly behind his head. Then, he donned his hoodie and decided to explore the Sacred Divine Land and on the way, he would also search for the Gladiator Arena.

Kyle realized that despite the tree teleporting him to a far-off location, he felt no physical discomfort, likely due to his improved physical strength.

He let out an exaggerated breath because he could sense the abundance of divine and spiritual energy in the air. He was certain that even if he did nothing in this land and just stayed still, he could easily reach the pinnacle of the divine rank since his body required no training, only divine energy at the moment. He sighed and took a step forward in a random direction, but his eyes widened when a faint twinkling light appeared in front of his face.

"The fuck!"

He jumped back and glared at the light that had just startled him. Kyle narrowed his eyes at the light when he sensed pure spiritual energy around its body. He noticed with a solemn expression that this strange creature, wholly made of light, hovering just a short distance away from him, had a beautiful pair of wings behind its back.

"What is this thing...? A bug?"

The mystical spirit in front of him let out a soft sound, as if showing its displeasure at being called a bug!

But who could blame Kyle for confusing a mystical spirit with a bug, especially since Hubert hadn't shared much about the Sacred Divine Land with him.

Kyle lifted his hand and prodded the hovering orb of light, causing it to tremble under his uncaring touch. However, before he could retract his finger, the light clung to it desperately.

Amidst the ethereal glow, he could swear he saw a pair of small, shimmering eyes gazing at him, almost as if pleading him to allow it to hold onto his finger. Kyle raised his finger and gazed at the light with a complex expression.

"What the...? Did I get myself a little bug made of spiritual energy as a pet?"

He pondered for a moment, and an evil gleam flickered in his eyes. Now that he thought about it, isn't this tiny bug actually a creature crafted from spiritual energy?

"Should I consume it?"

The light quivered as it felt the covetous eyes fixed on its form, and for the first time, a mystical spirit began to regret its decision to approach a human from whom it had sensed a "Should I consume it?"

The light quivered as it felt the covetous eyes fixed on its form, lovely fragrance.

Yes, it had sensed an otherworldly fragrance coming from Kyle's body, which was almost akin to nature itself, leading it to approach the human quickly.

But... little did it know that this would be its last choice, as the human appeared determined to consume it. The spirit let out a deep breath and accepted its fate, as it really didn't want to release the human now that it had touched his body, emitting a calm and comforting coldness.

Kyle noticed the trembling light clinging to his finger and clicked his tongue because it seems the bug understood his words. He gripped the light with two fingers and forcefully detached it from his skin before gazing at it. However, as he performed this action, a faint sense of nostalgia washed over his body, almost as if he had once picked up a familiar small creature with his two fingers... He furrowed his brows but, unfortunately, couldn't recall the form of the creature even after pondering for a few seconds, so he pushed the thought to the back of his mind.

"Now that I have got myself a little buddy, it wouldn't be right to consume you, so... do you wanna stick around, little one? You can have your meals when I'm eating, and I won't let any small animal snack on you."

"Sound good?"

The mystical spirit body brightened up at his words, and Kyle raised his brow as he confirmed his thoughts. The bug can really understand his words. He naturally wanted to place the light on his head but paused midway with a strange expression.

'What am I doing?'

Kyle let out a sigh and instead placed the spirit on his right shoulder.

Then he watched as the light instantly snuggled closer to his body... only if anyone knew he encountered a mystical spirit right after entering the Sacred Divine Land, their jaws would drop because finding a mystical spirit is extremely rare.

After all, mystical spirits tend to hide whenever they sense any presence nearby. But fortunately or unfortunately, no one was around Kyle to know about it.𝒻𝓻𝘦𝑒𝓌𝑒𝓫𝓷𝑜𝓋𝘦𝓵.𝓬𝘰𝓂
