Celestial Bloodline-Novel

Chapter 53 The Pink Color Flower

Inside dense arrangements of trees, Kyle was seen running and Bia was flying a few centimeters above his head.

It has been more than fifteen minutes since they appeared inside the Tower but Kyle didn't encounter any living being other than occasionally seeing some insects and birds.

When Kyle was almost near the sound of water, he stopped abruptly hearing some growling sounds before hiding behind a tree.

Bia also stopped and sat on top of a nearby tree branch

A few meters ahead of them was a small hill. Clean water was continuously gushing out from the top, hitting the stones present on the floor.

Some small weird one petal black flowers and green vines were growing on top of the stones present at the bottom of the waterfall.

Kyle narrowed his eyes seeing the abnormal flowers. Looking at the waterfall closely his eyes landed on a lone grey color wolf standing at the edge of the waterfall.

The wolf was around 2 meters tall, the three eyes present at the center of its head were staring directly at something.

Following the wolf's gaze Kyle saw a bunch of pink color flowers, present at the center of the waterfall.

He wasn't sure what those flowers were but seeing light particles hovering above them and coupled with the fact that the wolf was staring at them, he was sure it was something precious.

After looking at the surroundings and confirming that the wolf was alone, with slow steps Kyle narrowed the distance between the wolf.

Kyle sensed the wolf's rank, it was (F)-Rank grey wolf, usually wolves are seen in packs but for some reason this one was alone.

Soon, he reached behind the wolf and after gripping his sword tightly he swung it on the defenseless wolf.

His sword cleanly cut off one of the wolf's hind limbs.

A horrible shriek escaped from the wolf's mouth as terror enveloped his senses. It hurriedly turns around to counterattack.

But Kyle was ready. The moment the grey wolf turned around, he directly attacked.

-GAAA!

A huge gash appeared on the wolf's neck before its huge body hit the ground with a loud thud.

Kyle looked at the lifeless body of the wolf, it was his first kill after entering the Tower.

The fight was relatively easy, first because Kyle's rank was higher. Second, because he used a sneak attack.

He could have confronted the wolf head on but Kyle didn't want to attract attention, who knows how many monsters were lurking around nearby?

Kyle was staring at the body of the wolf when some light particles escaped through the wolf's body, some particles disappeared while some entered his chest.

He felt a warm sensation coursing through his body before he directly broke through to (-E)-Rank.

Kyle sighed.

"So, it's true that the Tower works differently from the outside world."

Kyle already knew that they didn't have to dissect the body of the monster after killing it inside the Tower. The Tower will automatically give a specific reward according to the contribution but he was still in awe seeing it with his own eyes.

Before entering the Tower he was already near a breakthrough but normally it would have taken one more week before he reached (-E)-Rank.

"The Tower is indeed filled with mystery".

After taking another glance at the lifeless body, he approached the pink flowers.

They were growing on top of a stone, and because the stone was at the center of the Waterfall the wolf wasn't able to approach them.

Kyle looked at the crystal clear water there were some small multicolor fish inside.

He entered the water and all the surrounding small fishes opened their mouth, showing rows of sharp teeth they tried to bite his flesh but Kyle swiftly used his sword and killed those who approached him.

"Wow they are small, but look at those razor-sharp teeth."

Some light also left the bodies of the dead fishes but it was so low that it disappeared before it reached Kyle.

Fortunately, the water wasn't deep bearly reaching his knees.

All the water from the waterfall seems to be flowing directly toward the other end of the forest.

After approaching the center of the waterfall Kyle climbed the stone where the pink flowers were present.

He asked Bia what those flowers were but she also didn't know, so Kyle just grabbed the flowers and tossed them inside his storage ring.

Anyway, when he left the Tower he will ask his 'rich' master about them.

Afterward, Kyle walked out of the water. He didn't take the black one-petal flowers as they didn't look precious at all.

He gazed at the top of the hill from where the water was gushing out.

"Hmm, let's climb up to see the surroundings."

Kyle placed his sword back inside the storage ring and started climbing the small hill from a corner where the most stones were stacked upon each other.

He avoided the water because the strange fishes were able to swim upward inside the waterfall.

The fishes were also a type of monster but Kyle didn't have any knowledge so he just took three of them to cook at night and left the others as they were.

He could store the bodies inside his storage ring but the corpse would start rooting after a few days, also collecting dead bodies inside the Tower where he had to stay for six months wasn't worth it.

It took him around fifty minutes to reach the top of the hill.

Kyle's breath was heavy due to climbing the hill without taking any break, the surrounding temperature was a little cold but for some reason it didn't affect him even a tiny bit.

After dusting his clothes, Kyle looked at the scenery with narrowed eyes.

The hill was only slightly higher than the surrounding trees but it was enough to let him see everything in his vicinity.

Kyle looked around but the only thing he could see was a vast array of densely packed trees, in the distance he was also able to see some large mountains but they were too far.

It would take him more than a week just to reach the nearest mountain.

Bia also flew toward him and spoke inside Kyle's head.

-'I already told you there's nothing around us just trees and mountains.'

"Yes I can see, but why does it feel familiar?.."

Kyle couldn't help but feel that he had seen the same picture somewhere else.

"1,2,3...17..."

There were a total of 18 mountains he was able to see. After counting the mountains again Kyle suddenly gasped.

"Wait, the Map?"

He hurriedly looked inside the storage ring and took out the old scroll he bought from the dwarf.

Kyle opened the scroll there were three sections inside the scroll, and each section had a different name written on top.

He looked at the section where "Lowest Floor" was written and counted the mountains with wide eyes.

"1...2.3...18!!"

There were also 18 mountains and just like his surroundings among the 18 mountains, the mountain at the center was the tallest.

"Was the dwarf really a ghost?..."

Kyle couldn't help but mutter with a dazed look, he also saw a vast lake inside the first section and seeing it, he was able to pinpoint his location roughly.

"If the scroll is real that means the black and golden cross are the locations of danger or probably treasures."

There were more than a hundred cross marks on the first section. Compared to the first section the second section only had 50 something cross marks and the last section only had 20.

But it was enough, thinking about how there were so many treasures waiting for him to pick them up, Kyle became a little excited.

He didn't care even if the dwarf was a ghost because right now Kyle genuinely wished for his happiness.
