Celestial Bloodline

After Kyle jumped down, he landed straight on his feet. The ground beneath his feet was black and the surrounding was dimly lit due to some scattered stones emitting a white hue.

The tunnel leading underground looked endless from outside but it seemed it wasn't that deep.

Bia also flew inside behind Kyle, after glancing around the place she hurriedly settled herself on top of Kyle's head.

On the other hand, Kyle looked around and saw Nine rubbing his back while looking at him with resentment.

"Where's Tainin?"

Hearing Kyle's question, Nine become serious and pointed his finger on the left side.

Just a few meters away from them, Tainin was lying on the ground.

Seeing Tainin's steady breathing, Kyle sighed with relief. It seemed he fainted due to the sudden descent.

Nine approached Tainin and hurriedly shook his body, trying to wake him up.

"Tainin?.."

"Agh ...."

With a muffled sound, Tainin opened his eyes and looked around before hurriedly standing up straight and dusting his clothes.

After everyone gathered, they gazed at the path ahead of them. There was a big desolate tunnel leading forward and nothing else.

Everyone slowly started walking forward with caution. The tunnel ground was black and it was made of a bunch of uneven rocks.

Seeing himself in the front, Kyle frowned and looked back at the two men following behind him.

"Why am I leading?"

It was obvious, if there was any danger Kyle have to face it first but to his question Nine replied proudly with a serious expression.

"It's because you are the strongest."

Tainin also chimed in and nodded his head seriously. Kyle narrowed his eyes looking at both of them before clicking his tongue.

To Kyle's surprise after hearing their conversation, Bia slowly flapped her wings and went backward, sitting on top of Nine's shoulder.

Kyle cursed, it was because they were treating him like a meat shield.

When was the last time he was used like this?

Still, he walked forward leading everyone deeper inside the tunnel. The whole tunnel was the same, nothing changed on their way nor did they face any danger.

After five or so minutes, they saw some light at the end of the tunnel.

Kyle was the first who left the tunnel and appeared inside an open clearing.

Behind him, Nine and Tainin also left the tunnel and looked around the open area.

Unlike the faintly dim tunnel, the area in front of them was brightly lit up with hundreds of bright golden color stones scattered everywhere.

On their left side, under the bright golden glow, water was gushing out from the top of the ceiling but it didn't stop inside the area instead the water made its way downward through some cracks and holes present on the ground.

There were 5-6 golden-colored flowers blooming around the water, giving off an ethereal yet calm feeling.

In front of them were six more tunnels but unlike the tunnel they traveled from, these tunnels were engraved with different numbers.

The first tunnel had number 1 engraved on top of it while the last tunnel had number 6 engraved on top of it.

Without waiting for the others, Kyle hurriedly walked toward the golden flowers and directly uprooted all of them, making everyone dumbfounded.

He looked at Nine and Tainin and gave them two each before tossing the others inside one of his storage rings.

Nine sighed looking at the lifeless flowers present inside his hand. He didn't knew what they were used for but seeing the faint golden glow around the flowers, he was sure they were valuable.

After placing the flowers gentlly inside his storage ring which barely had any space, Nine looked at Kyle and Tainin.

"So which tunnel should we enter?"

Hearing Nine question, Kyle pondered before pointing his finger toward the number 1 tunnel.

Tainin choose the tunnel with number two because number two was his favorite.

Meanwhile, Nine hurriedly shook his head.

"No, I think we should choose the middle one. What if the first one is hell difficulty."

Then suddenly Tainin's eyes showed a hint of seriousness.

"Now that everyone's choice is different, how about we all go inside the one we choose."

Kyle blinked his eyes twice before directly heading toward the first number tunnel.

He wasn't sure about other things but one thing for sure, Kyle was confident in his choice.

Well even if he told them it's not like they would believe him.

Bia who was sitting on top of Nine's shoulder, hurriedly flew toward Kyle.

Even though he was a detestable being, she was sure following Kyle was the safest.

At the same time, Tainin walked and entered the second tunnel.

Nine looked at the fading backs and become dumbfounded. He slowly mumbled under his breath.

"Why are they so confidant and going alone, what's if it's dangerous?"

He sighed and reluctantly entered the middle tunnel, now there was no meat shield in front of him. He has to face all the danger himself.

...

After Kyle entered the tunnel, blinding golden light invaded his vision and the image in front of him become blurry.

A few seconds later, the vision in front of his eyes changed and he found himself inside a white empty room.

There was nothing inside the room, it was completely white with smoke-like clouds hovering around him.

He gazed around and saw a white book hovering in the air at the end of the room.

Kyle stepped forward toward the book but then suddenly the white smoke around him trembled and turned into hundreds of monsters.

Some monsters were flying, some were standing on limbs while some were crawling.

The monster were all white, with no true body form but they all fixed their hollow eyes at Kyle who was trying to approach the book.

There wasn't any mana or pressure around their bodies, making it hard to identify their rank.

Kyle left eye twitched when he saw all types of white fog monsters staring at him with creepy hollow eyes just because he took a step toward the book.

'What will happen if I took another step forward?'

Bia who was sitting on top of his head didn't knew whether to laugh or cry. She spoke with a choked voice.

-'Of course. They will pounce on us.'

Bia choose to follow Kyle because he was the safest choice.

And after seeing the white book she was sure he entered the tunnel with the most benefit but was it fortune or misfortune?

In this type of situations, Bia really wished Kyle didn't have this much luck or else one day she will die due to his too excessive luck.
