Chapter 637: You have a death wish, huh?

Kyle kicked the undead in front of him, breathing raggedly. He clenched his fist and punched another undead on the head. The atmosphere around him quivered violently due to his strength. His body moved swiftly, leaving afterimages behind as Bia's voice echoed in his head.

"I believe that's enough for today. Will you even be able to move after all this?"

She grumbled inwardly, a touch of concern in her eyes as she checked on the human's state. He hadn't stopped for even a minute since he started hunting the undead.

Kyle halted upon hearing her voice, letting out a hum as he relaxed his fists to assess his strength. His physique was still a bit away from reaching the supreme rank.

"The pressure is enough... but I guess my body is not ready yet."

He scanned the swarm of undead surrounding him and opted to call it a day. Not because he was tired, but because he had noted how long the previous night had lasted and understood that the next day was about to begin.

Kyle floated upward, and with a blink of his eyes, a multitude of ice spears materialized in the sky before swiftly darting towards the undead surrounding him.

Dust and debris erupted in the air as the ice spears struck the undead bodies, causing them to waver and lose balance. Bia quickly arrived next to the silver-haired man.

-"Heal your wounds first!"

Kyle chuckled and gave her a nod. He flicked his fingers and used his divine energy to conjure skeleton warriors.

It had been forever since he last used this skill, but he was itching to test the strength of his skeleton warriors against those made within this ancient tomb.

His green eyes gleamed with a dark intensity, and in the next moment, numerous skeletons emerged from the ground beneath him. They immediately engaged the ones trying to attack him.

"Oh... mine are weaker."

He remarked loudly with a narrowed gaze when one of the dark skeleton warriors he had crafted with his energy was destroyed by a single strike from its opponent.

"Nevertheless, they serve well as a distraction for the undead surrounding me until dawn breaks."

Kyle extended his scent perception skill to monitor his surroundings. Just as he was about to use his ice encasing skill to heal his injuries quickly, he detected three familiar scents approaching him.

"Huh?"

He took a quick look to his right and saw Alec and Nine charging towards him with serious expressions.

As he turned his gaze forward, he noticed Mia's figure approaching as well. Nine let out a string of curses at Kyle as an undead enemy swung its weapon at him.

"You jerk!? You have a death wish, huh?"

The air quivered as Nine unleashed a powerful move he had recently learned. He channeled his divine energy, transforming it into a devastating blast that engulfed the undead surrounding him in a surge of power, causing a massive explosion to reverberate in the area.

Alec coughed and staggered backward in mid-air as the surroundings exploded with dust and debris, scattering fragments of shattered bones everywhere.

The undead in the vacinity let out ferocious roars and surged towards Nine and Alec in response to the abrupt attack.

Kyle floated in the distance with a speechless look as Nine's sudden attack also destroyed many of the skeleton warriors he had created.

Alec cleared the path ahead with Nine as they moved towards the bloodied figure of the silver-haired man, skillfully avoiding the attacks of the undead. Mia also used all her agility to reach man's figure.

Kyle sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Didn't they know he and Bia could easily vanish into a portal he can create with just a mere flick of his fingers? So why the hell were they heading towards him even after seeing the horde of undead around him?

He shook his head, and with a snap of his fingers, a portal materialized in front of him. The phoenix next to him shot him a glare before entering the portal, and he swiftly vanished towards Mia.

The blue-haired woman was taken aback when a portal popped up in front of her, but when Kyle showed up beside her, she gasped at his condition.

"You need healing potions-!"

Kyle cut her off.

"Go ahead. We will chat later."

Mia eyed the swarm of undead and, with a nod, stepped into the portal before her.

After she left, Kyle vanished towards Nine and Alec. He purposely observed the two men suffer for a moment before conjuring a portal in front of them.

Nine cursed silently and as soon as Alec entered the portal, he glared at the silver-haired man. "I know you too well! I bet you are gonna vanish into thin air! So, go in first!"

Kyle wanted to chuckle but contained himself as the man shot him a dark look. With a nod, he entered the portal. Only after he had vanished did Nine follow suit.

As Nine stepped into the portal, a familiar bell chimed throughout the tomb, signaling the end of the night and the beginning of a new day. He emerged from the other side of the portal and gazed at the brightening sky.

"Finally, it's morning again."

He clicked his tongue and surveyed his surroundings. Kyle, Bia, Mia, and Alec were hovering in front of a shattered structure that resembled a woman. Nine hurried over to Kyle and reached for his shoulder, but a vein throbbed on his forehead as the man dodged his touch.

"Let me heal your wounds, will you!?"

Kyle glanced at his clothes. They were bloodied, and he wrinkled his nose as the scent of blood

reached him.

"It's okay, I can heal them."

He blinked, and an extremely cold aura radiated from his body. The instant he activated his

ice encasing skill, a layer of ice started to form on his skin.

The ice shimmered with an otherworldly light as it enveloped his entire body, even creeping up from his neck to encase his face as Kyle closed his eyes briefly.
