Chapter 709: The ancient projection V



Kyle narrowed his eyes at the dragon, his expression unreadable, before shifting his focus back to the massive projection, searching for his own name or any other familiar names he could recognize.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"What about the color of the names? What do they indicate? Their owner power?"

The dragon spread its wings and flew closer to Kyle, but sensing that the human had still not completely lowered his guard, it stopped a short distance from him.

"The colors of the names indeed indicate the potential power of their bearers. Brown color signifies a mortal with the capability to achieve divine rank in the future. Golden color indicates that the person has attained divine rank, while red color signifies that they have far surpassed it."

Kyle nodded, and his eyes flickered with a hint of a smile when he saw Alec's name directly beneath Azazeal. That joy quickly faded when he saw Ceano and Damien's names below Alec and above James.

His gaze moved down, and he spotted Carcel's name in the tenth spot, followed by Nine. His eyes lingered a bit longer when he saw Yue's name in the nineteenth position. After that, he continued to scan the names, humming softly to himself.

"What about my name? I see so many familiar names at the top, painted red, but I can't seem to find my own. I've surpassed the divine rank, so my name should be painted red, shouldn't it?"

His voice sounded concerned, but his amused and thrilled gaze told a different story as he glanced once more at the empty top spot in the projection.

'So, you're not sure if the one with the potential to rise above all will survive until the end? I wonder, is that me? Since, I can't seem to find my name.'

After he saw Alec and the names of everyone he knew on the projection, he was convinced that it was functioning correctly. That's why it seemed nearly impossible for the projection to miss just his name. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard Bia's voice, filled with shock and disbelief.

-"No! No! Nooo! that can't be possible!"

Kyle hurriedly glanced at the phoenix, only to find her downcast eyes fixated intently on a particular spot in the projection.

He easily realized the reason for her distress and shock when he spotted her name in the thirty-third position. It wasn't because her name was so far down; she was panicking because Nox's name was positioned directly above hers.

Before the phoenix could unleash her flames and obliterate the projection, he quickly positioned himself in front of her.

"Don't, we can't destroy the projection."

The area in front of Kyle erupted with a dazzling light as Bia transformed into a human. She rushed toward him and shook his shoulders, desperate to convey the turmoil she was experiencing.

-"No! This projection is wrong! Absolutely wrong! Nox is just a weak lynx who always gets beaten by me! There's no way he could surpass me in the future!"

Kyle stifled a laugh that threatened to escape his lips and maintained a solemn gaze as he looked into the eyes of the panicked little lady before him.

"Yes, yes, the projection is wrong. A lynx can't be stronger than a phoenix."

Bia moved back and slammed one of her fists into her palm with a nod, finally feeling a sense of relief from his reassurance.

-"Right! The projection doesn't even have your name, so it's totally wrong! I won't buy into this nonsense!"

She glared at the projection and transformed into her phoenix form before glancing at Kyle with a huff.

-"Let's go! I don't want to stay in this place any longer than I already have!"

Just as the phoenix turned away to head toward the planet, Kyle's lips twitched and curled upward, but they instantly dropped when Bia glanced back at him.

The dragon watched the duo from a distance with an amused expression as Kyle trailed behind the phoenix, who began to soar toward the planet. Suddenly, an orb of light materialized between the dragon's brows and shot toward Kyle. But before it could make contact with the man, he spun around and caught it in his palm.

Kyle stared at the orb and then at the dragon with an icy expression. He would have eliminated the latter if he had detected even a hint of threat from the orb. However, fortunately for the dragon, he didn't.

"What is this?"

The dragon chuckled at him. It had used all its strength to secretly send the orb into the human's body, but it seemed that it couldn't do so because the man had become far stronger than it.

"I suppose it's better to be upfront. That was not an attack. The orb contained some knowledge; it may not be particularly useful to you, but knowledge is never a bad thing, right? Just consider it my parting gift, since I don't expect we will meet again."

Kyle glanced at the orb in his grip before tossing it into his mind space to examine later. From the corner of his eye, he noticed the dragon spreading its wings before flying toward the planet beneath the projection behind Bia. He followed suit.

In no time, they arrived on the planet. This time, Bia enveloped her body in a shield to mask her presence, and together with Kyle, they proceeded directly to the city and the hotel where

they were staying.

The divine dragon did not follow them. Instead, it hovered in the sky, and a surge of energy erupted from its body, illuminating the entire sky of the planet.

The citizens, who had barely calmed down after witnessing the fire phoenix, were once again astonished as the dragon-a familiar figure that had always blessed their planet in the past but had suddenly ceased its visits-revealed itself once more.

The dragon's scales shimmered like sapphires against the dark sky as it soared majestically and unleashed a resonant roar that echoed across the landscape, sending waves of awe through the hearts of the people watching it from below.

With each powerful beat of its wings, the dragon seemed to awaken the very essence of the planet, stirring the winds and causing the trees to sway in reverence.

The citizens cried out to the dragon, their voices a blend of joy and gratitude, as it roamed the skies—a guardian returning to bless their land once more.

Zhask and the other powerful elders in the city also emerged to greet the dragon, the guardian of the projection. They were all relieved that, after so long, it had finally conjured a physical

form for itself.

With one last glance at the enthralled crowd, the dragon vanished into the sky as if it had never existed.

After its departure, the energy that had erupted from its body to illuminate the planet's sky faded away as well.

In the city, standing atop a hotel building with Bia seated on his shoulder, Kyle gazed at the dark sky with an intrigued gleam in his eyes. He had observed everything the dragon did until

it faded from sight.

"That was a natural law, wasn't it? The ability to purify the air and the land from all sorts of

pollution."

Unlike him, Bia didn't understand what the dragon had done by illuminating the sky. She simply tried to process his words.

-"A natural law? No, that can't be possible. You know the dragon is only at the divine rank. How can it wield a natural law when even I cannot?"

Kyle caressed her head with a hum. Yes, she was right. It seemed quite implausible for the dragon to wield a natural law, given that it hadn't yet attained the supreme rank. However, perhaps the dragon could wield it because it had lived for thousands of years and its body

could withstand the pressure?

He tore his gaze from the sky and swiftly jumped down from the building.

"Let's head back to the hotel. I need to check my communication crystal; it has been buzzing for quite some time."
