Chapter 667: That human is not simple at all
Quite a distance from where Kyle and the others were, a demon woman with four expansive wings behind her was floating under the sky with her eyes closed.
Her fists were clenched tightly in concentration, and an evil smile was playing on the corners of her lips.
"He is here! I definitely sensed his pressure a while ago. Hehe, finally, I got a clue about him after searching for him for so long!"
Samara's eyes snapped open, and a sphere of darkness surged behind her, shooting up towards the sky, making it even darker.
She glanced down at the demons fighting with the group of individuals who had just arrived in the Sacred Divine Land in a flying ship to find and protect their people who had emerged from the massive portal.
"End them!"
Her loud voice echoed in the air as the sphere of darkness, which had shot toward the sky, descended on the land, instantly obliterating everything in its path. The air reverberated with countless cries; even the demons fighting below her were harmed by the sphere, but she didn't care. She had more pressing matters to attend to.
"I need to find that human. The Tree of Fate's branch, which bore the Fruit of Fate, still hasn't grown any leaves. That means he still hasn't consumed the fruit yet!"
She had found a powerful treasure in the Sacred Divine Land. It was sheer luck. Who would have thought she would reach the peak of the supreme rank without the fruit of fate she had been chasing for years? Yet, against all odds, she achieved it.
Nonetheless, her ultimate goal was to claim the title of a shadow general.
"That bastard... third shadow general. He just had to go and perish at the hands of a mere divine rank. Now, the race for his title among everyone has begun. My dream of becoming the sixth shadow general has become difficult all because of him!"
She cursed Will and swiftly unfurled her wings to pursue the aura that had suddenly enveloped everything around her moments before. She was certain it emanated from the silver-haired man, the very individual who took the fruit of fate.
A supreme rank elf and a supreme rank demi-human showed up before her. They wanted to eliminate her as she was the biggest threat from the dark side at the Sacred Divine Land currently.
Samara laughed wickedly, and suddenly, pure dark energy burst out around her. Dark veins started creeping on her skin, visible through the tight gown she had on.
"You mere ants cannot even touch my hair! Who do you think you are to challenge me?"
The air shook as another big battle broke out in the sky, that turned pitch black.
In that moment, the two supreme rank individuals, who were specifically tasked by the first shadow general to kill the nature's favorite and all his friends, also arrived at the scene, making the battle more chaotic.
Samara's eyes chilled when one of the supreme ranks fighting alongside her informed her about the appearance of his target - the nature's favorite: silver hair and green eyes. She let out a laugh.
'So... the one who took out the third shadow general was the one who had the fruit of fate all along? This is going to be quite fun. But I need to be careful.'
She glanced at the two supreme ranks who were here to eliminate the nature's favorite, and an evil glint flickered in her eyes.
Of course, now she has two perfect baits she can sacrifice if things get dangerous.
'That human is not simple at all...'
Her objective was the fruit of fate and the position of shadow general. The number of lives she needed to sacrifice was irrelevant as long as she reached her aim.
....
Kyle's eyes snapped open when all of a sudden a chill crept up his spine.
The room he was in was dark as he had closed off all sources of light when he began to drift off to sleep.
His sudden movement made the woman in his arms stir, and when he glance at her, the coldness in his eyes vanished. He hummed and placed his chin on her head.
'What was that just now? It's quite rare for me to get this feeling. But whenever I do, it's always connected to something bad that's about to happen very soon.'
Kyle's eyes were glowing in the dark. He wanted to extend his scent perception skill once again but chose not to.
His bloodline had become dormant, and even though he hated to admit it, if he put himself in extreme danger, he could very well endanger those around him.
'It's wiser for me to avoid risky situations, at least until I'm by myself.'
He knew he enjoyed the adrenaline rush that came with risking his life because he believed he could survive even if he was on the brink of death. Additionally, his ability to fight improved in more extreme situations. However, it was a different scenario if his recklessness harmed those around him.
Kyle was jolted from his thoughts as Yue nestled closer to him.
"You're awake?"
She nodded. She knew it had only been a short while since she fell asleep and was certain Kyle hadn't slept for long either. He probably stayed awake and only closed his eyes briefly, but he woke up so easily.
'Well, we don't really require a lot of sleep now that we've grown so strong...'
She opened her eyes, and with a flick of her fingers, the dark room brightened because the orbs in the walls started shining once they were supplied with energy.
Kyle rested his palm beneath his head to watch her as she sat down and began to tidy her slightly messy hair.
Yue glanced back when she felt his intense stare but let out a chuckle at his disheveled hair and clothes.
"Get up, let's head downstairs. I can sense Alec and the others have arrived."
Kyle slumped back.
"I can sense them too. They got here a while ago, but strangely, they're all gathered in the
building lobby."
"I wonder what they're up to?"
