Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 708: The ancient projection IV



The divine dragon blinked at Kyle's words, its deep voice resonating through the air.

"You don't remember anything else, but you recall seeing my eyes?"

It was perplexed-if the human remembered seeing its eyes, then why did he not recall that it was the dragon who had given him the knowledge of the ranks above the mortal levels when he knew nothing of what lay ahead (SSS-rank)?

Kyle shrugged his shoulders.

"Does it matter? What happened is in the past and has faded with time. And I don't think I need to remember every single person I encountered along my path."

The dragon's eyes glimmered with a hint of smile as it nodded its head with a sigh.

"Right... you don't need to. But now that you've come this far, I assume you know about the war. So why haven't you joined the fight yet? You are already so powerful; your assistance could make a difference for those battling in the war."

Kyle stared at the dragon, his eyes reflecting a sense of indifference. Why did everyone want him to join the war?

"I will definitely join the war; I will, but not for anyone else's sake. I will do it on my own terms and when I feel like it."

The dragon hummed at his words, having somewhat anticipated this response. After a brief conversation with Kyle, it discerned the type of personality the man possessed. The human clearly disliked being asked to do anything by anyone.

"Alright... it's not like I have the strength to force you. Go at your own pace. After all, I can tell that your main goal aligns with the ones fighting in the war."

Kyle and Bia gazed at the dragon, questioning why the latter sounded so undeniably confident.

Under the duo gaze, the dragon glided gracefully toward the projection, its scales glinting brilliantly in the light. It came to a stop before the projection and touched its surface with its claw.

"I can tell from your earlier conversation that you two are here to see the names on the projection, but as you've already seen, its content has been obscured by the veil. So, it's not possible for you to see it. Just leave before the people from the dark side arrive and complicate things for you."

Kyle looked at the massive projection, and a surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body, racing toward it. He had come here to check if his name was on the list; there was no way he would leave without finding out.

"You just need to stay back; we will break down this veil soon enough."

Bia smirked and nodded.

-"Yeah, the old should definitely keep their distance; we wouldn't want them getting hurt if we unleash too much power!"

Kyle shot her a sidelong glance, amusement dancing in his eyes. She really hates being called little one, doesn't she? It seems she had placed the dragon on her blacklist for using that term.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The dragon could only sigh and moved aside to let them do whatever they wanted. It simply watched from the sidelines as the duo began to try to break the veil with their strength, lost in thought.

It actually wanted to ask Kyle to save the old individuals trapped in the second realm, a realm created by Azazeal countless years ago. But it seemed Kyle had forgotten the favor it had done for him in the past.

'Hmmm, did he lose his memories? If so, with his current personality, there's no way Kyle would do what I ask.'

The thing that puzzled him the most was that Kyle didn't seem to care about his past anymore, as if it held no significance. The dragon gazed into the distance.

'I can give Kyle a fragment of an old memory, and if he truly wants to save the people who were all trapped by Azazeal thousands of years ago, he will. But if he doesn't, then it's up to him.'

The dragon had barely relaxed its body when a loud cracking noise reverberated through the air. It quickly turned its gaze toward Kyle and Bia, only to see that the two had created a fissure in the veil concealing the projection.

"They actually did it?"

Its astonished voice echoed as it watched Kyle moved back in mid-air, followed by a torrent of ice spears surging behind him. The dragon's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Wait, such a massive attack could harm the projection too-!"

Its words faltered as it saw the spears racing toward the projection at a speed many times faster than its own. Before long, the ice spears crashed into the veil, producing a deafening roar and scattering shards of ice in every direction.

However, to the dragon's surprise, even though the countless ice spears shattered the veil, they failed to make contact with the projection beneath it.

"Ah... I have to say Kyle's mastery over his skills is truly remarkable."

Kyle cast a glance at the projection before him as the darkness shrouding it began to dissipate. He had sensed several protective symbols that upheld the veil by siphoning energy from the projection itself. After he countered the symbols with his spiritual energy, the veil shattered effortlessly.

"Finally, now show me what you hold."

His eyes scanned the many names that began to materialize on the projection.

All the names were displayed in three different colors: gold, red, and brown. The brown names were at the bottom, with the golden names above them, while the top of the projection was filled with red names.

However, as soon as the highest point of the massive projection cleared, Kyle's gaze instantly shot upward toward the top name, and a surprised sound escaped his lips when he saw the top

spot empty.

"Why is it empty?"

Bia, who had been searching for her name on the projection, quickly followed his gaze and blinked in surprise as well.

-"Azazeal's name isn't on top? Wait, but the top spot is empty!"

Kyle and Bia glanced at the dragon, searching for an answer to their question, but it simply shook its head.

"I don't know why the top name is invisible... maybe even the projection isn't certain if the person on that spot will live to become the strongest?"
