Chapter 306 Get caught
?Kyle's eyebrow twitched when he arrived at the scene. He couldn't help but muttered with disbelief.
"How the hell did they get caught?"
Among the individuals thrown mercilessly onto the platform, Alec and Carcel's figures stood out like a sore thumb.
Kyle wiped his forehead as he looked at the small crowd gathered in front of the platform. Emion, the one he had been searching for was also there!
Suddenly, right before his eyes, Alec snapped at Emion with wild, crazy eyes. His voice was so hoarse that Kyle almost thought it belonged to someone else.
"Wait wait, you idiot! Don't make him angry! I have not figured out how to save you yet!"
From Carcel's ugly expression, Kyle was sure the latter was dragged here due to Alec.
"Just what the hell did they do? Normally, the dark race would have killed them on the spot. But instead, they have set up a special execution platform for them..."
Kyle groaned when a sharp headache stabbed his head. He watched as two winged men stepped onto the platform carrying sharp blades. They were probably thinking of beheading the captured outsiders.
At that moment, Emion rose from his chair and directed an evil smirk towards the platform. However, Kyle was sure that his malicious gaze was fixed on Alec.
"I don't think I have time for any plan..."
'Hey, Bia?'
The moment Kyle called out her name an irritated voice sounded inside his head.
-'Don't you dare speak to me! How dare you leave me behind when the situation was so dangerous? Huh, I believe you are strong enough to handle everything alone. So why are you calling me now?'
She paused for a second.
-'Also... it's a secret, okay... but I heard Yue cursing you under her breath when she heard you left alone. Not just her, even Jian was sharpening his blade, ready to knock some sense into your head.'
Kyle blinked and rubbed his nose, but didn't he ask Haylee to follow up once they were done? As if catching Kyle's train of thought, Bia's voice turned sarcastic.
-'Go ahead, say that Haylee would bring us to you. He can't even sense your presence. Did you forget you're wearing an artifact?'
'But...'
-'But what?'
'You can sense me, right?'
Bia hummed softly as if she contemplating his words.
-'Ah.. right, I can. So, what do you wanna say?'
Kyle let out a sigh. The fact that Haylee could not sense him due to the artifact slipped out of his mind. He gazed at the execution platform when Emion announced that the most powerful among the captured outsiders would be executed in the end. That's why, instead of Alec, a purple-haired dwarf was forcefully dragged to the center of the platform.
The dwarf cried out in panic as the blade hovered above his neck. From Emion's pleased smile, it was evident he wanted to torment Alec by forcing him to witness everyone's death.
'Bia, do me a favor. Make sure to pluck every single strand of hair from Alec's head if something happened to me, okay.'
-'What!? Where are you? Don't jump into any danger if you can not handle it!..'
Her words were cut short because Kyle blocked her voice. He gazed at the platform and before the blade could drop onto the dwarf neck, he vanished from his spot.
On the platform, Alec clenched his jaw as he watched the blade inch closer to the dwarf's neck with dilated eyes. But before the blade could touch the dwarf, a loud pained cry echoed through the crowd.
The blade froze in mid-air as everyone turned their heads towards the source of the cry. The crowd quickly parted, revealing a man writhing in pain. A bright blue spear jutted from his chest as he took his final breath in front of the shocked onlookers.
Emion roared and flapped his wings to fly above the crowd.
"Which bastard did it!?"
He couldn't believe someone dared to attack his people right before his eyes! However, no matter how hard he searched, the culprit seemed to have disappeared into thin air. In the end, he snapped at the crowd.
"What are you all looking at? Go search the area around the platform! Hurry up, I want his head!"
The moment his words fell, the crowd scattered in many directions. However, the panic in their eyes was undeniable, because if even their leader couldn't track down the enemy, it meant the enemy was likely stronger than Emion!
Alec snickered at Emion back loudly with cold eyes. The latter was flying just mere inches away from him that's why he heard it loud and clear. Anger welled up inside Emion's heart as he snapped his head back to crush the insolent human completely, but he froze in his tracks when he saw a familiar figure tiptoeing toward the captured outsiders.
Just like Emion, Kyle stopped in his spot, he so much wanted to strangle the blue-haired youth sitting mere inches away from him. However, he controlled the urge and stared back at Emion with a blank expression.
"Oh, hi-!"
Kyle's sentence drifted in the air as he vanished from the platform, narrowly evading Emion's sharp nails that tore through the space where he was standing a while ago.
Emion let out a loud angry cry because after Kyle vanished he again could not locate him. He snapped his eyes toward Alec and the people sitting around him.
"That bastard wanted to save you, right? So, if I kill some he would show up for sure."
Alec and Carcel both glanced at each other with bewilderment. They only caught a glimpse of the person who vanished in front of their eyes but from the bright silver hair, they were sure it was Kyle!
Carcel groaned, the strange brown rope on everyone's wrists made it impossible for them to freely move their bodies. Amidst all this, just like Kyle, he so badly wanted to punch Alec.
'If only he stayed quiet for a second... Ugh, we were so close to freedom!'
