Chapter 772: Realm of the Dead VII
Chapter 772: Realm of the Dead VII
Jian's face paled, and he hastily lunged forward to grasp Kyle to help him, seeing his skin marred with cracks. But before his hands could reach him, a brutal kick sent a jolt through his midsection, knocking the breath out of his lungs.
"Ugh!!"
Gasping, he doubled over, struggling to regain his balance in mid-air. But it was futile-his body flailed like a cloth, and he was hurled backward before crashing hard to the ground. Jian coughed violently as blood spilled from his lips.
There was silence in the air as everyone watched Kyle lower his leg.
Alec's mouth hung open at the sight. He was closest to Jian, so he saw clearly how the latter's body was flung away.
Jian struggled to get to his feet, his expression wounded as he wiped the blood from his chin and lips and stared straight at the silver-haired man floating far away.
"What was that for...???!"
Kyle met his gaze with an cold expression, making Jian shut his mouth.
"It's for getting injured even after all this time training with me."
Jian stared back at him blankly as his body was hoisted up toward the crack above. A faint laugh escaped his lips.
"Seriously? That's what you care about when it looks like your body is about to shatter any second? You bastard!"
He fought against the force pulling him up, but his injury made his struggles feel futile. Kyle disregarded him and turned his attention back. His eyes fell on Enthrall, who floated in the distance, astounded by the events that had just unfolded.
The shadow general was in disbelief that even his body had traveled back in time.
His sapphire eyes locked onto the green ones, and just as Kyle's fingers reached out to grab him by the neck, he leaped into the rift from which he, Ceano, and Damien had emerged earlier, disappearing from sight without a moment's hesitation.
Kyle stared at the empty space before him and blinked once before turning toward the other two shadow generals.
"He is quite elusive, isn't he?"
Ceano flinched at his words and looked at Damien, who wore a grave expression.
For some reason, they sensed an overwhelming cold aura radiating from the human in front of them, prompting them to hesitate before confronting him head-on.
Kyle wanted to eliminate them, but it was at that moment that the last two seals binding the Realm of the Dead finally disintegrated into dust, causing the entire Forsaken Land to tremble as a massive void to the realm of departed souls opened in their place.
The icy flames enveloping the area dissipated into nothingness as an aura of pure divine and spiritual energy, along with something entirely beyond the realm of the living, surged forth from the void, followed by a cacophony of mixed sounds filled with confusion and surprise.
The Will of the Universe cried out in pure horror as everything around the void began to disintegrate into nothingness, devoured by the energy radiating from it.
The old man wanted to intervene, but he was too weak. In the end, he could only leave everything to fate and vanished.
James shouted to his people as he rushed toward the crack in the sky.
"We need to leave! Now!"
The seven elders gathered to escape the terrifying scene, their hearts pounding, as a blinding light erupted from the void.
Odiak paused suddenly and called out to Alec and the other youngsters to come as well, but his eyes widened when he saw them all rushing toward Kyle.
He gritted his teeth and floated after the other elders while assisting Razial. Once he and James sent the others away, they both turned back to urge the kids to hurry up.
The array maintaining the crack in the sky trembled and lost its power as the energy from the void consumed it.
The crack in the sky began to close the moment the array disintegrated.
Kyle's body trembled as he sensed the air quickening and a very familiar presence tearing through the space behind him.
In contrast, Damien and Ceano's eyes sparkled with excitement and respect. Their hearts raced with awe as a layer of darkness intertwined with something otherworldly spread out to envelop the space.
The air crackled with an overwhelming surge of power, and a pair of obsidian eyes peered out from the tear behind Kyle.
James's breath hitched at the sight, feeling a suffocating pressure grip him, threatening to engulf everything in its wake.
".......!!"
Yue rushed toward Kyle.
"Come with us!!"
Not only Yue, but all of his friends rushed toward him, except for Jian, who was quite far away. He shouted in denial as he realized he couldn't move, feeling the weight of the dark gaze behind him fixed on his back.
"Go!"
Kyle screamed and, without hesitation, invoked another natural law to manipulate the space. The area before Yue cracked open, and her eyes widened as the fissure forcefully swallowed
her.
Carcel, Sinon, Regius, and Mia, who were together in the distance, met the same fate and were swallowed by another crack.
Alec, who was closest to him, reached out with gritted teeth, desperate to grab him.
He wanted to use a teleportation bead to bring Kyle with him; they could figure out how to heal his body together. But his eyes widened as a teleprotation portal flared to life before him and swallowed him.
Lara froze in her tracks at the scene. With one last glance at Kyle, she hurried toward Jian, determined to pull him away toward the closing crack in the sky where James and Odiak were waiting. She understood there was no point in trying to help Kyle if he didn't want it. He would do the same to send her away. So, instead of letting him waste his energy trying to send her and Jian off, it was wiser for them to make their own escape.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Kyle didn't turn back to look at the person watching him; instead, he focused on Lara as she reached Jian. He wanted to send them away as well, but there wasn't an ounce of strength left
in his body.
He heard it loud and clear when a figure stepped out of the tear behind him. Kyle clenched his fists. It wasn't that he didn't want to escape; he wanted to.
It was just that the icy power within him, combined with the dark gaze on his back, was forcing him to stay. A deep, crazed, familiar voice rang out behind him.
"Finally... finally... after such a long time, I can get my hands on at least one of them!"
