Chapter 651: What!? Wait-!
Asher gasped at Kyle's words.
"What do you mean, meet him again? Don't you dare to tell me you have encountered Azazeal before..."
The half-dragon's words startled everyone. They might have dismissed Kyle's words due to the overwhelming information they had just received and the spectacle they had witnessed. But when Asher spoke, it hit them that the silver-haired man's unusual behavior clearly indicated he had known about Azazeal from the beginning.
Yue advanced towards Kyle.
"You are keeping something from us, aren't you? You always do that when you think it's too dangerous for us to know. Why can't you share it... don't you believe we can handle it? We're not that weak..."
Her eyes trembled slightly. When Kyle reunited with her in the Sacred Divine Land, he disclosed everything, or so she believed, but now she was certain he hadn't shared everything. It was impossible for Kyle to meet Azazeal in the Sacred Divine Land. He likely encountered the man even before arriving in the Sacred Divine Land.
Kyle's eyes flashed with a flicker of panic for the first time upon witnessing the elven woman's sorrowful expression.
He wanted to explain, yet Bia exacerbated matters by nodding solemnly.
-"He's hiding a lot of stuff from us. He needs a beating, but sadly, we can't beat him because he's stronger."
Kyle shot a speechless look at the crimson bird sitting on his shoulder, but she looked away with a disgruntled expression.
He tried to grab Yue, but she also stepped back with a similar expression. It was clear that the elven woman was angry at him.
Nine glanced at the vacant chamber, which held nothing now that the old memory had fragmented into particles.
"We were initially here to uncover clues to escape this tomb before it explodes. But we have come across something beyond our wildest dreams..."
Jian, Susan, and Nox nodded in accord, their eyes shifting to Kyle, waiting to see if he would divulge the secrets he had been keeping from them or not.
Elijah, who had finally managed to stand on his feet after hearing Kyle's previous words, collapsed to the ground once more upon hearing Nine's revelation.
He couldn't bear it any longer. The burly man quietly started to crawl towards the chamber's exit, yet it appeared that fate had destined him to uncover everything he wished to remain ignorant of.
Kyle sighed softly. He moved closer to Yue and placed his head on her shoulder.
"I know you guys aren't weak... but I just can't risk putting any of you in danger. I met Azazeal in the No Mana Land and... he's gonna visit this tomb soon."
Okay, he successfully managed to leave everyone shocked and bewildered. Now, it's time to vanish from the scene. Kyle stepped back from Yue with a serious expression.
"Guys, we need to find the exit of this tomb as soon as possible. I'm going to meet up with Alec and the rest to check if they found any clues. You all should search this entire chamber for any clues and reach out to me via the communication crystal."
His words hadn't even entirely faded in the air when a portal materialized behind him, but before he could enter it with Bia, while everyone was processing his words, Asher swiftly moved and displayed a speed he never knew he had.
The half-dragon gripped his shoulder tightly and released a dark laugh.
"Where do you think you're going after disrupting my peace, huh?"
Nine and Jian gave him a thumbs up and swiftly surrounded Kyle. Susan, Nox, and Yue joined them. No way they were gonna let that silver-haired man slip away before he told them why the heck Azazeal was going to visit the lost treasure tomb!
The portal Kyle created scattered into bits as he paused in his steps. A bit surprised by the half-dragon speed.
'He hadn't shown it, but he is not weak. Well, that's no surprise. After all, he is at the middle stage of the supreme rank.'
Elijah gazed at the group with a blank expression on his face. Not sure about anything anymore. If he believes the words they just said, it signifies the tomb he is in will explode soon, and to worsen the situation, Azazeal, the man dreaded by the entire universe, is going to appear.
'Now I don't want to run... I must follow the nature's favorite and these people even if I have to beg. Or else I know I'm done for!'
He quickly stood up on his feet and began observing as Kyle sighed in defeat and looked at the people around him.
"Okay, I'm not going anywhere. Just tell me what you all want to know. I will answer." Asher squinted at Kyle. The rest were collecting their thoughts as there was so much they wanted to ask the silver-haired man. So the half-dragon took matters into his own hands. After all, he wanted to exit this tomb he had been trapped in for a century in one piece! "You have encountered Azazeal before. Why is he going to visit this tomb?"
Kyle glanced at Yue's concerned expression. He couldn't reveal that he was the one planning to blow up the tomb. Nor could he disclose that he was preparing to forcibly eject everyone out from the tomb.
"Azazeal will come here because of me. He took something that belongs to me and said he would come to return it once I find what he desires."
His words left the people around him puzzled. What on earth could Azazeal want from him? That man had already attained the highest power status in this universe, so why would he task Kyle with finding something for him?
Asher's expression turned grim.
"What did he take from you? And what do you have to give him? This is all spiraling out of control. I really don't want to die so young, especially not in this tomb!"
Nine and Jian asked the silver-haired man the same question. Before long, everyone started bombarding the man with a flurry of questions.
Kyle kept quiet to let them finish their questions. Bia's eyes widened when his voice echoed in
her mind.
'Sorry, I'm gonna leave you with them for a while. I need to do a lot of things. You know nearly everything, so just tell them whatever they want to know. I will pick you up later...'
-"What!? Wait-!"
Bia's words were cut short as the silver-haired man vanished from underneath her, causing
her body to drop.
She quickly balanced herself in mid-air and cursed him loudly with furious eyes.
