Chapter 302 Three options
?Kyle chuckled at Nine's words as he landed beside him. Immediately he gazed at Haylee because the latter was looking at him with serious eyes.
He cleared his throat and took a step closer to Haylee.
"So, what brought you here?"
However, the boar was not in a good mood. He flipped his wings to make it clear that Kyle should stay ten meters away from him.
"You rascal? Do you even know how much I have to suffer just to find you? At first, I thought if only I sensed Bia's location I could easily get to you but when I found her, she was alone and you were nowhere to be seen."
Haylee grumbled. He couldn't believe his superior senses were defeated by a mere artifact the kid was wearing. That's why, no matter how much he tried he was unable to sense Kyle. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath to calm down because he was not here to scold him, he was here to tell him about something very important.
When Kyle noticed the boar's serious expression a frown appeared between his brows.
"What happened?"
Haylee gaze sharpened as he glanced at the trio standing behind him. Noticing his gaze, Kyle waved his hands.
"It's okay. They are my friends."
With a nod, Haylee began from the moment he left Kyle's side. He went to search for the old guardian, however, when he found him. The guardian's illusionary figure was fighting with Guil. A Pseudo divine being from the dark race.
Nine and the elves were confused when they heard the words 'Dark race' and 'pseudo divine'. Seeing their confused expression Haylee stopped mid-way, he thought with a sigh that he had to tell them everything from the start. Yet, before he could explain further, Kyle beat him to it.
The more the boar heard Kyle's explanation the more stunned he became because the kid knew almost everything about the dark race. Moreover, his knowledge did not end there. He even knew about the various powerful ranks above (SSS+)-Rank.
In the end, when Kyle was done explaining. Nine, Elli and, Rowan's expressions were blank. The trio was too shocked because the information shattered their views. They could not believe that in their whole life, they thought (SSS+)-Rank strength was the end of mortal powers. Yet, many otherworldly divine and supreme beings existed in the universe.
Nine let out a trembling breath and gestured at Haylee to continue. However, the boar had a serious question he wanted to ask Kyle.
"How did you find out about all this? This knowledge had been hidden a long time ago."
Kyle hesitated as he gazed at Nine but in the end, he answered while omitting out the part of his bloodline and mind space.
"A few months ago, two huge white slits eyes appeared in my dream. They gave me the information. I don't know anything about the eyes but they looked powerful."
Haylee closed his eyes in deep contemplation. Eyes with white slits. Yet, he was unable to find the owner of such eyes from his memories.
He shook his head and silently threw the matter at the back of his head before resuming from where he paused.
"Right, while fighting, Guil saw me. I wanted to hide but failed. As I am the guardian of the last treasure land, I can not leave that place until the divine essence is gone. That's why, now he knows that all the divine essence is gone."
Haylee inhaled a sharp breath. He practically ignored Nine, Elli, and Rowan who were ogling at him with all the focus they could muster, and fixed his gaze on Kyle.
"The old guardian had stopped Guil but he can not stop the dark race. The moment, Guil knew about me, he informed Emion the current leader of the dark race. Right now, Emion and a large number of people from the dark race are ruthlessly searching for the person who has the divine essence."
Kyle's expression chilled when he heard the familiar name. He mumbled under his breath.
"Emion and all those people from the dark race... They are searching for me, right?"
Haylee nodded with a hardened expression.
"I know with your strength and the presence hiding artifact you are wearing you can escape easily but..."
Kyle snapped his eyes up to stare directly into Haylee's eyes. He knew that if the people from the dark race were after him. They would probably kill each and every person they encounter in their path and he despised the thought that a lot of people had to die because of him.
"But what?"
Haylee gazed at Kyle's clenched fists and shook his head.
"The guardian who is stopping Guil doesn't know anything about you. He had already chosen the people he wanted to send out from the realm safely. Yet, everything changed when Guil found out about the divine essence. He had been stuck in the pseudo-divine rank for a long time and the divine essence could help him break through the bottleneck. Moreover, if he stepped into the divine rank the old guardian wouldn't be able to stop him and he could leave this realm forcefully."
Haylee paused for a second when he noticed how tense Kyle was. Still, Kyle shook his head and asked for him to continue.
"Naturally if Guil left, the whole dark race is going to follow him. That's why the dark race is doing everything to find the divine essence."
Haylee suddenly gazed at Nine. For some reason, the kid turned too pale when he heard that the dark race could leave this realm. He frowned but ignored it, thinking maybe the latter was too shocked.
"Kid, just like me the guardian is not allowed to interfere with the things happening in the realm. Also, I am unable to take back the essence from you because after a treasure is taken out from a castle it can not be placed back as it's against the rule."
"So, now you have three options. First, surrender and give the essence to the dark race. However, if you did the dark race would still kill everyone. Not to mention the fact that if Guil reached the divine rank, he would be released from this realm. Second, hide until the realm exit is opened. And third fight back."
