Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 591  Was I deceived too?

Kyle let out a sigh as he defeated his hundredth opponent.

After the illusory figure proclaimed him the victor, he settled on the stage to simply gaze at the sky. The second round for him ended, yet many individuals around him were still engaged in battle, endeavoring to overcome their adversaries. Fortunately or not, he did not face any of his friends after Carcel.

The atmosphere was thick with potent energy due to the ongoing battles. He rested his hand on the stage beneath him, and with a crack, a subtle ripple of light emanated in various directions from his palm.

The illusionary figure standing next to him gazed at him as he closed his eyes. The figure wanted him to leave the stage, but when it saw no new fighter had come to battle on the stage, it simply let Kyle be since the human had completed his battles.

As the figure averted its gaze to look in a different direction, another burst of light radiated from his palm, this time the light was intense and darted with lightning-fast speed, enveloping the entire Gladiator Arena in a fraction of a second.

"Done..."

Kyle murmured a few incantations under his breath, and the air around him grew calm. He opened his eyes, and a subtle white shimmer flickered around his body as he sat down with crossed legs to replenish the energy spent during the battles. The fights around him continued, and he calmly awaited the end of the second round.

Simultaneously, beneath the audience seated on the chairs within the towering walls, watching the battles or simply resting after enduring a significant fight, delicate symbols began to glow, intricately weaving an elaborate web across the ground. The ancient symbols carved into the towering walls and beneath the various hovering stages, drawing in divine and spiritual energy from the air to power the arena, began to fade. In just a few seconds, they were engulfed by the delicate symbols weaving a web across the arena.

The individuals in robes sitting in front of the mermaid statue were deliberating on who, besides Kyle and his group, displayed potential. Meanwhile, the shadow generals were focused on watching those from the dark side battling Carcel, Jian, and the others on the different stages, aiming to defeat them to obtain their blood.

That's why it was a huge surprise when a woman in a blue hoodie seated among the audience started shouting and cursing. The sudden commotion caught the attention of many, but before anyone could identify the woman, she disappeared from her spot.

Old Hal was taken aback when she reappeared before him. His eyes widened as he locked gazes with the familiar pale violet eyes. However, before he could grasp why Elizabeth had suddenly shown herself when she was meant to stay hidden in the crowd and only intervene if the shadow generals attacked, she glared at the array masters seated behind him and shouted.

"You useless bunch of fools! What are you all doing while the entire arena-!"

Her words were abruptly cut short by a thunderous tremor that echoed through the air, shaking the entire arena. Immediately, many massive white symbols manifested across the towering walls, enveloping their surfaces. This sight sent shivers down the spines of all who gazed upon them, as the symbols were crafted from pure spiritual energy and were expanding in size with each passing moment!

Old Hal, Elizabeth, and the eyes of those around the two widened as they gazed at the symbols. The array masters moved to eradicate them. But it was too late; the symbols had already been activated.

In a flash, the entire arena descended into chaos as panic seized everyone.

Old Hal swiftly attempted to direct the multitude of illusionary figures within the arena to pacify the turmoil. However, to his and everyone's shock, all the illusionary figures in the arena began to fade into light, eagerly absorbed by the white symbols.

The shadow generals and individuals from the dark side were also caught off guard by the sudden turn of events.

A sense of foreboding crossed Ceano's golden eyes, and an inner voice cautioned him not to allow whatever was happening reach its conclusion. He thought he had to prevent the white symbols from completely engulfing the towering walls.

Will frowned and shifted his gaze towards Ceano to grasp the unfolding situation, only to find the man had disappeared. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The third shadow general redirected his focus forward and saw Ceano suspended in mid-air behind the numerous robed individuals striving to erase the symbols amidst their intense exchanges.

Ceano locked his eyes on the symbols growing in size, and a surge of intensity permeated the air. He quickly clenched his fist tightly to obliterate the many symbols with sheer power because even though he has knowledge of arrays and symbols, he had never seen such intricately intertwined and unfamiliar symbols before. Will's eyes chilled at his actions.

"Wait... why is he helping them?"

A puzzled yet cold expression clouded his face because even though they were not here to disturb the arena and simply wanted to peacefully reach the Lost Treasure Tomb, why the freaking hell was Ceano aiding the enemies in destroying the symbols?

On the other hand, Old Hal and the numerous individuals in robes attempting to destroy the symbols mistook Ceano for attacking them and believed he was involved in all the events unfolding in the arena. They wanted to attack him, but Elizabeth quickly intervened.

"Destroy the symbols first! He's an enemy, but he's not the one who placed them!"

Ceano sneered at them, and as he opened his fist, all the symbols across the towering walls cracked and vanished into particles. But just when everyone thought they could finally regain control of the situation, all of a sudden, a massive circular array emerged from the ground beneath the audience and the countless hovering stages.

It swiftly ascended, easily passing through the bodies of the numerous people floating in the air, enveloping the entire sky above the numerous floating projections.

A sudden realization dawned on everyone fixated on destroying the white symbols on the towering walls when they looked at the massive circular array pulsating in the sky. It became evident that the symbols they were focused on all this time were not the true threat; rather, those symbols merely appeared to divert their attention. Ceano's eyes gleamed with a wild intensity.

"Haha, was I deceived too? But the real question is, by who the hell..."
