Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 57 Encountering the Demi-humans

Amidst a huge forest, a lonely figure was seen running frantically. No matter what appeared in front of the figure, it didn't stop.

The figure was breathing roughly, with its clothes drenched in sweat and dust.

If someone looked closely he would see a huge 15-meter black Scorpio just a few steps behind the figure.

Of course, the figure was Kyle!

He jumped, dodged and crawled just to increase the distance between himself and the Scorpio.

His condition was not any better than beggars.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Kyle tried, he wasn't able to shake off the Scorpio who was hell bend on following him.

He didn't expect to encounter a high-rank monster on his first day inside the Tower.

Also, seeing the Scorpio rank, Kyle was sure it was one of the first floor 'Boss Monster'.

According to the information the Academy provided to the students before they enter the Tower, 'Boss Monsters' were high-rank monsters inside the first few floors.

One of the ways to climb the higher floors of the Tower was to find and defeat these 'Boss monsters'.

But Kyle knew his capabilities, he just barely touched (-E)-Rank today. There was no way he would become overconfident and fight the Scorpio head-on after knowing it was a whole rank above him.

According to Kyle's estimations right now there was no one capable enough to defeat the Scorpio inside the first floor.

While running, Kyle was cursing non-stop. Suddenly his left foot staggered and he stumbled a little. The Scorpio behind Kyle didn't hesitate even a second and shot his pointy tail at him with a loud screech.

Kyle looked at the tail with contracted eyes before rolling on the ground to avoid the incoming attack.

-Boom!

A whole tree was destroyed, looking at the flying pieces of the hard tree truck. Kyle couldn't help but shudder as he started running again toward the opposite side.

With raged breathing he hurriedly took out an energy potion from his storage ring and gulp it down in one go while inwardly thanking the person who gave him this life-saving treasure.

Within a second, some of Kyle's energy recovered and his speed increased slightly.

Immediately afterward he conjure three thunder arrows and threw them backward without stopping.

Seeing himself staggering again Kyle knew he wouldn't last long if he didn't do anything.

"Bia, you little shit. Where the hell are you? If you didn't help me now I am gonna cook you tonight for dinner."

Not far from Kyle's location, sitting on a tree branch Bia looked at the situation with squinted eyes.

-'Stop cursing me, I can't defeat this thing.'

-'Also, It's not my fault. I already told you there was something strange when I saw the mountain thunder spiders inside the tree. I think those spiders were the Scorpio food.'

-'You stole its food that's why the black Scorpio is angry.'

Kyle gritted his teeth and again threw three thunder arrows backward.

It was fortunate that the Scorpio didn't possess any agility-type skill or he would have already perished but even after that, the Scorpio's natural agility was not weak at all.

-'Just stay alive for a few more minutes, It's my first time that's why it's taking time to gather a lot of mana. I will use one of my skills to attract its attention, make sure to run in the opposite direction.'

Bia loud voice rang inside Kyle's head. He nodded quickly understanding what she was doing.

Honestly, Kyle already wrote a mental note to beat Bia up after he got rid of the Scorpio.

'She's too unreliable.'

The Scorpio screeched loudly before jumping and attacking Kyle again with his pointy tail.

Kyle was already prepared he dodged to the left. Another tree was blasted into pieces because of the Scorpio.

On the other hand, Bia started flying and arrived on top of the Scorpio head. She took a deep breath and flapped her wings.

A huge amount of mana which was gathered under her wings took form and two huge golden fireballs appeared mid-air.

With another flap, she threw both of the fireballs at the Scorpio.

The fireballs directly collided with the upper layer of the Scorpio skin but Bia attack only slightly scratched the Scorpio, making her dumbfounded.

-'What the! Its skin is too hard.'

The Scorpio looked at Bia and hissed loudly but after seeing her flying, the Scorpio turn around without even waiting for a second and started following behind Kyle again.

Bia looked at the Scorpio retreating figure and frowned.

-'Kyle my attack is not working, it's also not following behind me. It seems the Scorpio had intelligence.'

Kyle started sweating, he knew Bia was not that powerful. Even if she was a Phoenix in the end she just hatched a month ago.

He took out another energy potion and after drinking it Kyle created seven more fireballs and threw them backward but the Scorpio dodged half of them and the one hitting its skin didn't injure it at all.

While Kyle was frantically thinking about what to do suddenly he heard some howls coming from his left.

Kyle's eyes shone, he hurriedly changed direction and started running toward the sounds.

....

Meanwhile, Dion and Likin both were running toward the north. It have been an hour since the wolf pack started following the duo.

For some reason, the wolf pack didn't show any signs of retreat even after Dion killed two of the wolves.

Also after using so many mana attacks, Dion mana was almost exhausted. He looked at the wolf pack behind and cursed before asking Likin to attack behind.

Likin had two ice skills, he created two long sharp ice arrows and threw them backward. One of the wolves howled in pain when the sharp ice touched its skin.

When both of them saw the wolf pack slowing down, they finally sighed with relief.

But unfortunately, before they could be happy and start increasing the distance between the wolf, a small tremor shook the ground.

Both Likin and Dion were breathing heavily, their clothes tattered and their condition was even worse than Kyle. Sensing the tremor, they look at the front with squinted eyes.

Suddenly a boy appeared inside their vision. The boy gazed at them with a serious expression.

Their eyes met and the boy mouthed a single word to them.

'Run.'

The duo looked at the figure of the boy with confusion, the boy didn't stop and run past them going directly toward the wolves.

But their confusion soon disappeared when they saw the horror in front of them.

Dion almost fainted, seeing the huge Scorpio coming out from the trees. With trembling hands, he grabbed Likin and hurriedly gathered the tiny bit of mana left inside his body before rolling toward the left side.

The moment Dion rolled off, the Scorpio appeared in his position and screamed loudly.

The Scorpio gazed left and right before running toward the howling sounds.

Dion hands were tightly grabbing Likin, only when a few seconds passed did he slowly open his eyes and peeked toward the Scorpio.

His forehead was filled with sweat, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Just now he saw his dead grandmother waving at him from heaven. Fortunately, he acted immediately or else something terrible could have happened.

Likin also sucked in cold breath looking at the running figure of the boy.

'How the heck is he alive after angering such a huge monster.'
