Chapter 804: Or who did you want to see?
?
Lily held her breath when she saw Kyle''s eyelids move. His clothes were torn and covered in blood, but there were no visible injuries on his body, which was encased in a thin layer of glistening ice. She couldn''t help but stare at him, dazzled. How could someone be so good- looking? His face already resembled a statue, but now Kyle had exceeded all standards.
Her fingers itched to touch him, but she scolded herself. How could she touch him when she didn''t even have a pure heart?
In that moment, a strange obsession sprouted in her heart out of nowhere. No one was allowed to touch him.
No one. Not even herself.
She felt happy that she had entered the Sacred Divine Land with Han and his wife and didn''t follow Sinon and Lara back to the blue planet. It was because of that that she had found Kyle and seen him.
All past grievances and jealousy she harbored toward him faded away. She even let go of the hatred she felt toward him for ignoring her in the Forsaken Land when she tried to talk to and charm him. Now, all she wanted was to ensure that no one would lay a finger on this otherworldly being.
What Lily didn''t realize was that her mind and thoughts were being influenced merely by his presence. That was the main reason Azazeal never roamed around with his real body. He always sent a clone while his real body rested in a castle in another realm, as his presence could influence others.
This was one of the main privileges of reaching the Celestial rank. It was also one of the reasons why everyone who stepped into this powerful rank needed to ascend to the Celestial realm as soon as possible.
They were too powerful, and their mere presence commanded obedience from all and influenced their surroundings.
Kyle''s eyes fluttered open, and he gazed at the dazed woman kneeling in the distance with a frown. He had sensed her the instant she entered his range, but he didn''t attack her because her aura felt familiar.
''What''s she doing here?''
He could sense that she had just attained the (SS+)-rank. While he did not have many memories of her, he recognized her as his old classmate from the Royal Academy. So, he refrained from throwing her out of the crater where he lay, even though her gaze was quite unsettling. His voice was deep and solemn as he narrowed his eyes.
"Leave."
Kyle had used the ''encasing ice'' skill he got from his bloodline to envelop himself in a layer of ice that had nearly healed all his injuries. It was a pity he couldn''t use this skill often, as it had its limitations.
Still, he didn''t want another person watching him when he couldn''t move for the time being. That''s why he asked her to leave in a loud, angry tone.
However, who would have thought that instead of leaving, Lily would crawl closer to him with a look of fascination and begin to mumble incoherently while taking out healing potions and treasures?
"You... are injured... I want to help."
He tilted his head and finally noticed the haze in her eyes that were fixed on him. A sudden realization dawned on him when he saw his own face in her gaze.
"Things just had to become more bothersome... Tsk. No need. I am fine."
He closed his eyes to soothe his irritation. Lily moved back silently, watching him like a hawk, poised to do whatever it took to follow him if he decided to leave.
"Or who did you want to see?"
Kyle sneered when he saw how the Will of the Universe''s face paled. It seemed a lot had happened in his absence.
He was taller than every single person in the area, and they instinctively felt as if he was standing above them for some reason, causing all of them to feel nervous.
Kyle turned to look at Bia and Nox, and the icy expression on his face melted away.
"Come here."
Upon hearing his voice, Bia immediately shook her head with a gasp. For some reason, the moment she saw him, all the anger she had toward him faded. Now, she didn''t even want to beat him for the stunt he pulled in the Forsaken Land.
- "Wow... what just happened...? Did your face just influence my mind?" Nox agreed and exhaled deeply. He tossed the dark phoenix he had been holding in his jaw away, and the two beasts transformed into their smaller forms and rushed toward Kyle, who caught them in his hands.
Kyle smiled, unaware that his simple actions left everyone around him dazed as he caressed Bia and Nox. He turned back and locked his gaze on Carcel and Mia, who stood frozen in the
distance beside a broken tree trunk, staring at him.
''What are you guys staring at?''
He spoke directly into their minds, and their eyes widened because they did not even realize when he invaded their senses.
The duo jolted from their daze, and Carcel hurriedly covered Mia''s eyes with his hands. He
rolled his eyes and shot back.
''Don''t you dare charm my wife!''
Kyle''s lips twitched, speechless. Why the hell would he need to charm someone else''s wife
when he has a wife?
Suddenly, Lily, who had been staring at him silently, floated out of the crater and bowed before him with a solemn expression, as if she had made the biggest decision of her life. All eyes turned to her, the only one who dared to move in Kyle''s presence.
"Please take me as your servant! I want to follow you!"
Her words were enough to shock everyone. What surprised them even more was that, for some
reason, they felt willing to be taken as his servants if he wanted. This angered them a lot, and the spell Kyle''s presence had over them finally broke.
Lily''s actions were witnessed by Nine, Yue, Regius, Kurt, and the elves who had arrived at the scene as well. Everyone was taken aback by her sudden declaration, except for one person who glared daggers at Kyle''s tall figure, daring him to say yes.
