Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 598  You... can see the future?

Kyle relaxed his fist, his gaze shifting to Will, who spat out blood but immediately regained himself and began levitating away from the statue where his body had been forcefully slammed. The part of his shirt where Kyle's fist connected was torn, revealing a glaring dark mark.

Will's ivory-colored eyes gleamed with pure anger and hatred as he glared at the human.

"You little piece of-!"

Before he could finish his words, Carcel's spear once again shot out to impale itself in his body, but much to Carcel's dismay, he easily blocked the attack.

As Carcel and Will once again engage in battle, Kyle glanced at Ceano and tilted his head, the silver spear in his hand.

"I did give you two a chance to escape, didn't I? But it's your fault for not taking my offer... or should I say benevolence?"

Ceano's golden eyes started to shine, and Kyle knew he was plotting something.

Acting swiftly, he tapped into one of the skills he acquired from his bloodline in the No Mana Land: Arcane Visions.

The spiritual energy in his body shook slightly and began to burn at a speed that would have depleted all his stored spiritual energy when his strength wasn't boosted by the array. However, with the tremendous amount of spiritual energy he gained from the array above him, he was confident he could use the skill multiple times without worrying about draining his reserve. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The instant he triggered the skill, multiple visions of forthcoming events set to occur within the next minute flashed in his mind. Kyle let out a dark smirk at the sight of himself covered in blood with Ceano's curved blade poised at his neck. But having foreseen the future, he caught Ceano off guard by deftly repositioning his body and thrusting the silver spear in his hand into the crack that had opened behind him.

As his spear pierced the creature in the crack inching closer towards him, suddenly, a spine-chilling scratching noise of agony echoed through the air, sending shivers down everyone's spines, and he knew he had attacked the right place.

Kyle was a bit surprised that he couldn't sense the creature sneaking up on him, despite his supreme rank strength. He had already stabbed the creature, yet couldn't sense its presence at all. Nevertheless, he refrained from looking at its body as he had already foreseen the near future.

The creature was completely composed of dark wisps with two shining coin-like eyes. If he made eye contact with it, whether summoned or created by Ceano's power, he would lose his strength, as its eyes had the ability to drain anyone's strength. It led to his defeat against the second shadow general in just a few seconds.

Kyle glanced at the man. His green eyes sparkled with mischief as he repeated the exact words Ceano uttered when the latter held his blade at his neck after he lost his strength due to the dark creature.

"It's a pity you are dying, human... but no one has ever evaded the gaze of my spiritual shadow. How could you, a mere divine rank who has yet to witness the vastness of the world, escape?"

Ceano's eyes chilled at his words, and for the first time in a long while, he lost his composure in front of a weak human.

"How do you know about...?"

He paused, staring directly into Kyle's eyes with a shocked expression when a sudden realization dawned on him.

"You... can see the future?"

It was impossible for the human to know about his spiritual shadow since they had never crossed paths before. Moreover, he had only utilized it in war, keeping it a well-guarded secret. After fully absorbing Kyle's words, he was utterly convinced that the human possessed the gift of foresight. But how...? How could a mere divine rank possess such a skill when his eyes lacked any trace of spirituality?

Ceano was aware that Kyle's strength had been enhanced by the array, but gaining the ability to foresee the future just by getting stronger wasn't doable. It only meant the human had a skill to foresee the future.

'If whatever I planned could now be anticipated and blocked by the human, wouldn't that lead to my downfall instead of eliminating the human? I must put an end to him. He's too dangerous.'

Kyle vanished from his position, but this time, Ceano disappeared too. A thunderous tremor shook the entire sky above the arena when the two clashed in the air.

Their movements were swift, precise, and equally lethal; one misstep, and the other would lose his entire being.

The tremor in the air intensified with numerous fissures forming everywhere as Kyle's spear and Ceano's curved blade clashed repeatedly.

Except for Elizabeth and the supreme rank individuals who could somehow catch glimpses of the two powerful men battling in the sky, the countless people below couldn't even grasp their afterimages. All they could see was a lingering trail of violent energy left in the wake of the intense confrontation.

Carcel and Will were also affected by the violent currents surging around them. Will was furious when he saw a mere human keeping up with Ceano.

"That bastard should just give up his title as the second shadow general! Does he even have any dignity left when he can't even defeat a mere divine rank!?"

Carcel was also amazed by the scene. He, Kyle, and Alec, all three of them, gained equal strength from the array, so he couldn't understand how the silver-haired man had effortlessly adapted to his power. Alec's state might be due to being influenced by the shadow generals, but what about Kyle? How was he holding his own against Ceano, who had years of experience?

He destroyed another of the dark attacks thrown at him by the man opposite him and let out a sigh inwardly. He better quit trying to figure out Kyle's true strength; that guy had already outpaced everyone in terms of power. And to think, when they all started getting stronger in the academy, he was the weakest. Carcel glanced at Will, who was cursing out Ceano, his own ally.

"If he has got no dignity left when he can't even handle a mere divine rank, what about you? Do you even know what dignity is?"

Will was furious at his words, and a massive orb of darkness materialized on his palm. It was larger and more intense than any he had used before. The dark energy in the air around him also began to grow violent, but he didn't direct the attack at Carcel; instead, he aimed it at the people below him with a wicked smirk.

"Ah... I missed my target."
