Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 74 (-C)-Rank Worms

One week later,

Kyle was wearing a gloomy expression because no matter how much he tried to protect his clothes, they would become dirty whenever he fought with the monsters.

He was feeling a headache because if things continue like this soon he wouldn't have anything to wear.

After a few more days, Kyle finally spotted some humans who were busy fighting with some snake-like monsters.

While moving toward the biggest mountain, he also saw two elves but because Kyle didn't knew who they were, that's why he left without even giving them a second glance.

After moving for one more day, he finally arrived in front of the biggest mountain.

With a relieved expression, Kyle immediately jumped down from the tree and started climbing the mountain.

He also hurriedly changed his damp clothes into clean ones.

Finally feeling comfortable.

For the past two weeks, he was like a ghost who jumped around from one tree to another.

While he was moving toward the biggest mountain, a human accidentally saw him sitting on a tree branch. The human freaked out and run away while shouting a single word;

'Ghost.'

Seeing the human running away, Bia laughed so hard that she was on the verge of tears.

Thinking about that human who called him a ghost, Kyle clicked his tongue with irritation.

'My clothes were just slightly dirty, how dare he called me a ghost.'

With a serious expression, he looked at himself.

His clothes were clean and tidy.

At least while he was on the mountain they won't get dirty.

After nodding his head with satisfaction, Kyle started walking upward toward the top of the mountain.

He already saw the old scroll and knew both of the golden cross marks were almost at the top of the mountain.

Kyle only walked for around ten minutes when he heard some loud shouts.

He looked up and saw two figures running toward him frantically.

They were approaching Kyle at a very fast speed.

Both of the figures were wearing dirty clothes filled with mud. Even their faces were not visible due to the huge amount of mud sticking to their bodies.

Seeing the dirty figures, Kyle wanted to move away giving them plenty of space to pass through but before he could his eyes contracted into a slit when he saw three huge 16-meter large segmented worms following behind those figures.

All the worms were (-C)-Rank!

"Fuck!"

Kyle turned around and started running toward the way he came from.

He just changed his clothes a few minutes ago. No way in hell would he let them get dirty again!

While he was running away from the dirty figures and the huge worms, suddenly he heard a familiar excited voice calling his name from behind.

"Kyle!"

Kyle slowed down and turned his head backward to confirm his doubt.

"Nine?"

"Hahaha, yes it's me!"

Another loud excited laughter came from above, but for some reason Kyle shuddered when he saw Nine waving his muddy hand toward him.

Without even waiting for a second, Kyle sped up.

He didn't care who it was, his clothes were more important!

Bia who was flying above him and seeing everything, started laughing crazily.

She laughed so much that Kyle almost had the urge to stop and smack her toward the worms but because he was running, he completely ignored her.

On the other hand, seeing Kyle speeding up. Nine also sped up directly going toward his direction.

After reaching the end of the mountain, Kyle jumped and climbed up the nearest tree.

He finally sighed with relief after he was a few meters away from the mountain.

'Phew, My clothes are safe.'

After Kyle, Nine and the other figure running beside him also jumped down the mountain and hurriedly climbed some of the trees nearby.

The segmented worms following behind them stopped when they reached the edge of the mountain.

After shouting loudly, the worms actually started retreating.

Nine saw the worms retreating and sighed with relief before looking at Kyle with a smirk.

"Kyle, how have you been? I didn't expect to see you here."

Kyle who was sitting on a nearby tree smiled back. He also didn't expect to see Nine with so many monsters.

"I am fine."

While he replied, he scanned Nine body and was surprised to find out that Nine was already (E)-Rank.

Nine also scanned Kyle's body but he wasn't able to tell his rank.

He looked at Kyle with slightly wide eyes before introducing the other person beside him.

The other figure with Nine was called 'Tainin' and he was from 'Kingdom Loringnad'.

Nine met him yesterday when he appeared on the third floor and because both of them were humans, they decided to team up.

Tainin looked at Kyle and nodded. Just like Kyle, he wasn't much of a talkative person.

After the worms went away the three of them left the trees, directly jumping on the mountain edge.

While Kyle was patting his clothes, Nine slowly approached him from behind with a mischievous smile.

Before Kyle could react, Nine slapped his dirty hand on his back.

"Hahaha, we are meeting after so long why are you behaving so distant."

Kyle bearly stopped himself from cursing and looked at Nine with a dark expression.

In the end, he wasn't able to save his clothes!

Seeing Kyle's dark expression, Nine smile widened.

It seems he was right!

Nine hurriedly wrapped his dirty arm around Kyle's neck with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to care about clothes so much."

Kyle looked at Nine smug expression and almost cough up blood.

'You knew and yet still placed your dirty arm around my neck!'

While Nine was laughing. Kyle smacked him, directly throwing him off the mountain edge.

On the side, Tainin looked at the duo and started laughing as well.

After Nine walked out from the mud. He looked at Kyle with resentment. Now he was completely enveloped with wet soil.

He wanted revenge but then Kyle spoke up with seriousness.

"Why were the worms following behind both of you."

Nine and Tainin both looked at each other before telling Kyle everything.

After both of them teamed up, they looked around the forest but found nothing that's why they decided to climb the mountain nearest to them.

When they approached the middle half of the mountain, they saw a cave which was filled with mana stones.

After seeing the mana stones they become excited and were going to pick up some of the mana stones but then suddenly some worm-type monsters came out from underground and started chasing after them.

The worms were so persistent that even after they left the cave, the worms didn't stop chasing after them.
