Kyle took a deep breath to calm down and glared at the layer of energy in front of him. It barely rippled after he punched it so many tis. He touched the layer of energy and attempted to teleport directly to the other side, but once again, he failed.
He felt a presence behind him and looked back to see a floating woman. She had dark, beady eyes and bat-like wings.
A smirk appeared on her face as she examined Kyle from head to toe, as if she had found a hidden treasure. Her nails were sharp and pointy, and dark veins were visible on her tanned skin where the tight fabric of her dress didn't cover her body.
Kyle's brows furrowed as the foul stench coming from the woman reached his nose. It had been a while since he encountered soone from the dark race, and he could not deny his discomfort.
He could sense that the woman in front of him had pseudo divine rank strength. Kyle's frown deepened as the pair of beady eyes locked onto him, and the woman let out a chuckle.
"I found you! Haha!"
He didn't get what she ant, and he didn't want to know either.
Kyle was about to grab his sword to deal with her and avoid any more trouble. But then, she opened her mouth wide and let out a deafening scream that echoed everywhere, making his ears ring.
'The heck is wrong with her....?'
He imdiately got his answer when he saw countless dark dots filling the entire sky around him.
Kyle squinted his eyes and nearly freaked out at the sight of nurous individuals with bat-like wings coming straight toward him from all directions.
The woman's eyes crinkled with amusent as Kyle's expression turned solemn. She tried to attack him with her sharp nails, but a look of surprise crossed her face when the human swiftly moved back and effortlessly dodged her strike.
She glanced at her empty hand, which grabbed nothing but air, and let out a chuckle.
"I knew it! I knew you are strong! How else could you stay hidden for so long? I am the one who found you first, human, so I am not going to let you go!"
She flapped her wings and tried to attack Kyle again, but he dodged her attack once more and fled in another direction. No, it's not because he was scared of a single pseudo divine rank woman.
He could handle her easily, but there's no way he could handle the countless pseudo divine rank individuals approaching him from all directions!
'There are so divine rank individuals as well! Damn it, what did I do to offend them!? I just entered the planet not more than a few hours ago!'
The woman stared at his back and let out a loud shout that echoed in all directions.
"Do you think you can run away? Dream on!"
She flapped her wings and followed behind Kyle, who jumped in mid-air to dodge her attack.
Kyle's eyes flashed with a glint, and he vanished from his spot. The woman halted in her position, glancing around to find the human. She let out a loud shout, realizing that the human had run away.
She gritted her teeth, unable to believe she had let her prey, the sa prey that could get her a huge reward, slip away from her hands so easily.
At the sa ti, Kyle appeared in a distant place filled with broken trees. The ground beneath his feet was desolate, and he even spotted so crumbled stone structures in the distance.
He let out a sigh and rested his hand on a broad, withered tree trunk to contemplate his next move. He knew for certain that soone strong had sealed off the planet, preventing him from leaving. However, as he glanced upward, he caught sight of a pair of ominous crimson eyes peering down at him from above the tree trunk.
"Oh, hey..."
The owner of the crimson eyes smirked at the human, who slowly stepped away from the tree trunk. The man's pale cheeks stretched into a wide, creepy smile.
Kyle let out a dry laugh when he sensed that there were several other people around him as well, except for the man sitting above the tree trunk.
"No, it's bye I guess..."
He vanished again before the man could attack him. This ti, he appeared inside a crumbled structure that looked like soone's house.
Kyle quickly grabbed the edge of his hoodie and pulled it over his face. Only his eyes were visible as he peeked out from behind a half-standing wall to glance at the people floating in the distance. So of them were from the dark race, and Kyle was sure that the people with pale skin and crimson eyes belonged to the second subsidiary branch of the demon race.
"There's sothing wrong. I feel like they are searching for ... But why? I need to confirm my suspicions."
Kyle whispered under his breath and fixed his gaze on one of the unsuspecting n who had crimson eyes. He took a deep breath and drew a portal that materialized before him. Slowly, he stepped into the portal and appeared behind the man dressed in tightly-fitted blue clothes.
He grabbed the man's mouth and, before the other people nearby could notice, dragged the struggling man back into the portal that dispersed in the air.
Kyle appeared inside another crumbled structure and used his fear skill on the struggling man, causing the latter to cease all movent and start trembling. Kyle lowered his voice and grabbed the man's neck with his other hand.
"If you make even a single sound... I'm going to kill you, got it?"
The man nodded, and he tossed him aside. Kyle ford a ball of water and washed his hand with furrowed brows.
The scent coming from the people who had dark petals engraved on their bodies, he just couldn't handle it because it always overwhelms his sense of sll.
Kyle sat down on his heels and stared at the man whose already pale skin had started to turn purple under the fear skill.
'This skill has gotten a lot stronger... it's very effective against anyone below pseudo-divine rank.'
"So, I have so questions I want to ask. Just nod your head if you agree, or else I can just kill you and find soone else."
Right away, the man opposite him scooted back a little and nodded his head vigorously. Kyle humd, satisfied. It seems he should use the fear skill more often because he could see the man's eyes starting to turn hazy with fear.
"Okay, now tell , are you and the people outside searching for ?"
The man nodded again, and then Kyle asked why they were searching for him. But the answer he got wasn't pleasant.
"You an there's a big bounty placed on my head by so divine-rank demons because they want to extract the teleportation skill from my body?"
Kyle rubbed his forehead, feeling a little distressed and bewildered. Within just a few hours, the entire planet was hunting him. Why? Just because of his teleportation skill?
He had been chased by many people, and not just people, but monsters too. But not even in his wildest dreams, he thought that one day all the residents of an entire planet would be hunting him. He let out a wry smile and stared at the man.
"Do you have know anything about the layer of energy surrounding the planet right now?"
"Who created it, and is there a way to bypass it?"
Kyle waited for an answer, but the man opposite him suddenly beca quiet. In the next second, his hazy eyes started to clear up, as if he had just thought of sothing that gave him the courage to overco the fear instilled inside him.
"Why should I tell you... human!?"
Kyle clicked his tongue, and the man opposite him froze in his spot as several ice spears materialized around him. Their sharp tips were just inches away from his neck. The man watched as the pair of bright green eyes peered at him, and the human across from him spoke in a cold voice that sent shivers down his spine.
"I believe I asked you so questions?"
But the information Kyle got after breaking one of the man's legs wasn't good at all.
He crash-landed on a planet where the fifth shadow general has been staying for years, and to make matters worse, the shadow general was the one who wrapped the planet in a layer of energy!
Kyle waved his hand, and the many floating ice spears imdiately killed the man opposite him.
"Just what have I gotten myself into? One problem after another... I still have to find Bia and Jian."
"I don't even wanna think about Jian's bad luck right now... I can just hope the duo don't end up on a planet where the first shadow general or Azazeal is present..."
Kyle smacked his mouth with a curse.
"I shouldn't think about the worst!"
