Chapter 737: He is not an enemy!
Kyle nodded in understanding at the guard, but then suddenly the older man before him pointed at Bia, who was poking her head out of his hoodie to look at the ring.
"Your beast?"
Kyle forced a faint smile and roughly nudged the crimson bird in the hoodie.
"Yes, she is just a little shy."
The guard chuckled; it wasn't the first time he had seen someone hiding their bonded beast, so he didn't think much of it.
"I can tell she is not weak. You should take your beast to the area where bonded beasts compete against each other by controlling the monsters weaker than them. I am sure it would provide your companion with valuable battle experience."
He handed him another ring for Bia, one that could adjust its size to fit the wearer, before moving on to another person.
Kyle put one of the rings on his finger before pulling one of Bia's legs from his hoodie and sliding the other ring onto her limb until it adjusted in size just below the life-saving artifact she was wearing.
His eyes shifted toward Zhask when a few powerful guards suddenly approached the the demi-human and took him a distance away to discuss something.
"I suppose his unexpected arrival has been reported to Old Hal and his wife."
Bia poked her head out once again.
- "Doesn't that mean we don't have much time to create chaos?"
Her words were followed by a distant explosion echoing in the sky. The human and the phoenix glanced up, only to see Sinon cursing because the portal he had created had exploded once again.
Bia laughed, and Kyle simply sighed. He glanced at the twins standing in front of him. Sensing his gaze, Mason and Logan quickly moved to his side.
Unlike before, the twins were now quite happy to be around him, having benefited from his generosity over the past two days.
He would unexpectedly give them treasures, even though the duo had done nothing but stay by his side.
They were unaware that Kyle only gave them treasures when he recalled some of his forgotten memories due to their skill and felt a sense of indebtedness.
Seeing the twins standing with Kyle, the others around them stared at the duo with envy and a hint of jealousy, but no one dared to approach the human.
After all, many of them had already made every effort to get close to him on the ship, only to be ignored as if they were air. Not to mention, some of them were even thrown outside the ship when they attempted to breach the shield he formed around him! It's fortunate the Zhask allowed them to board the ship again; otherwise, no one dared to imagine what would have occurred if they had been left in the vast, dark space!
Kyle began moving with the crowd when suddenly one of the guards asked them to follow and guided them down the platform toward a teleportation array drawn on the ground in the distance.
Behind the group, Zhask carefully stored the massive ship they had arrived in inside a storage ring before leaving with a guard who provided him with a communication crystal to speak with elder Hal.
When he returned, everyone was already standing on the teleportation array, so he hurriedly joined them.
Kyle's eyes shifted toward Sinon, who was still trying to form a teleportation portal in the sky, and he clicked his tongue.
The array beneath him shone, but before he disappeared along with the others, his eyes turned white and time stopped.
He stepped out of the array and floated toward Sinon, noticing from the corners of his eyes that Zhask and a few guards hadn't frozen like everyone else and were staring at him in shock, before raising his knuckles to softly hit the demi-human's head.
"At this rate, you will never be able to form a proper teleportation portal."
A few symbols lit up in the air and merged into the portal Sinon was creating as Kyle checked the coordinates of the destination Sinon wanted to reach, before the portal stabilized in front of the demi-human.
"That should be enough. I will draw some symbols on your wrist next time to make it easier for you to create arrays."
Bia rolled her eyes as Kyle turned and returned to his position on the array.
- "I wonder who said he wouldn't help?"
Kyle hummed, observing that those who had managed to retain their consciousness after he paused time were trying to move.
"Who knows?"
He blinked, and the white color in his gaze vanished, reverting to its original green hue. Instantly, time returned to its normal flow.
The light from the portal beneath engulfed him and everyone standing around him, and they vanished into particles.
A few gasps of shock echoed in the air as the newcomers disappeared. A guard in the distance
cried out.
"What just happened?"
Another guard clenched his weapon with a solemn and alert expression.
"That person... did he just stop time?"
In the sky, Sinon suddenly rubbed his head, feeling a faint pain on his skin.
"Why do I feel like someone just hit me?"
He noticed the stable portal before him, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Did I really create this?? But I was sure just a moment ago it wasn't complete!"
An excited expression lit up his face because this was the most stable portal he had ever created! Finally, he noticed that the guards below had become restless, with some even contacting the elders.
He glanced at the portal, and seeing that it was stable and wouldn't disappear anytime soon, he hurried toward the guards to find out what had happened to them.
His eyes widened when he heard what had occurred in his presence, and he hadn't even been
able to sense or react to it!
"Someone stopped time?"
Suddenly, a familiar face popped into his head, and he grabbed one of the guards.
"Tell me the appearance of the person who stopped time!"
His lips curled into a grin when the older man before him answered hurriedly.
"I only saw a pair of green eyes and a crimson bird on his head."
Sinon ran a hand through his hair and stopped the guards who were trying to use the
teleportation array to pursue Kyle.
"Don't worry! Haha, he's not an enemy! In fact, now that he's here, he will wreak havoc on our enemies in the battlefield!"
The guards who were notifying the elders also paused when elder Hal emerged from a crack
that appeared in the sky. The elderly man had come swiftly after Zhask informed him that
Kyle was here.
Sinon glanced at Elder Hal, who scanned the surroundings and rushed toward the
teleportation portal.
"Now that an elder is here, I am leaving. I need to inform the others that Kyle is here! And he
has become even more powerful!"
