Chapter 551 You don\'t have to come along, you know
Glancing at Yue, the only elf left, he wondered if she would also come along. But the chances of her agreeing were slim. If she did agree, it meant Kyle would come too. Wesley was sure she wouldn\'t risk Kyle\'s safety, knowing he was quite weak. So, he was certain she wouldn\'t join...
However, the old man\'s thoughts came to a sudden stop when Yue released the spirit in her hands and stepped forward toward him with a serious expression.
"I will join as well." Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
As those words escaped from her lips, all the elves turned their gaze towards her. She could have stayed with Kyle, but she chose differently. Did this not show that she cared for them more than for Kyle?
This sudden realization brought smiles to all their faces, especially Sebastian\'s and Wesley\'s. Sebastian, as Kyle was someone who had caught the interest of the person he liked. Wesley, on the other hand, didn\'t like the human at all and believed that someone like Yue deserved better.
Unaware, she wanted to join them because she understood that moving forward, she would encounter nothing but danger. If she stepped back every time, how would she grow? The land she was standing on and the entire universe were filled with dangers; she also had to join the Gladiator Arena where her opponents would be much stronger than her.
Would she always stay behind whenever there was danger? No, she had worked hard over the years, and she would never hesitate to face danger.
She wasn\'t someone who needed protection; she was strong enough to fight whenever there was danger instead of backing away. Even though she didn\'t have any attachments with the elves, she wanted to join in for battle experience.
Not to mention... now that she knew Alec and the others were also here, she didn\'t want to stay weak and wanted to get stronger. Because she believe they all would have advanced just like Kyle, who was obviously much stronger than her.
Yue caught Kyle\'s eye, and he responded with a subtle smile, almost as if he already knew she would join the elves. As Wesley let out a sigh and moved to the side to check the location they needed to reach, Yue approached Kyle with a smile.
"You don\'t have to come along, you know. Just like you mentioned, it\'s my choice to accompany them, so you can stay back if you wish. Don\'t worry; I can protect myself, and I will come back without any trouble."
Kyle reached out to rub her back. His gesture caused her tense shoulders, which she didn\'t even realize were tense, to relax.
"Just do what you want to. I can handle myself, and if things get risky, I know how to escape. I trust that the supreme rank elves will protect you and the other elves. If they can\'t, they should just stop calling themselves supreme rank."
He paused for a second.
\'Well, even if the supreme rank individuals are useless and can\'t protect you, I can always do it myself.\'
Wesley, who had just confirmed the location and heard Kyle\'s words, let out an infuriated grunt with a dark expression. But Kyle ignored him and continued.
"I will stick around for a while and leave once this situation is resolved, as I was already planning to explore the Sacred Divine land for treasures after we finish exploring this tomb."
Yue\'s eyes widened a bit at his words. She had a faint inkling that he would leave to explore the Sacred Divine Land soon, but she didn\'t know he had decided to leave so soon. Her eyes turned gloomy, and upon hearing that he would be leaving soon, she forgot the fact that she wanted to stop him from joining her and the other elves.
"You want to leave. It\'s okay, but when will you come back to see me again? Do you have a communication crystal? I know you can sense my presence, but I will give you one. Take it to stay connected with me."
"No, take it because I want to stay connected with you!"
She grabbed a communication crystal from her mind space and placed it in his hand with a serious expression. Kyle let out a soft chuckle and shook his head as he stored the crystal in his mind space.
"I will keep in touch, but as for our next meeting, I think we will likely meet at the Gladiator Arena, as I plan to find a quiet place and go into seclusion after discovering some treasures that can enhance my divine energy stat."
Wesley, who had asked the other elves to quickly vacate the structure as they would be heading north after exiting the tomb, cast a glance at the pair with a groan.
"Hurry up, or else I am leaving you two... no, it\'s three, including Nox. I am leaving you three behind if you don\'t speed up!"
Kyle gazed at the old man and urged Yue to head towards the exit of the structure. She emitted a soft sound as she looked at him but still trailed after the other elves.
Wesley eyed the mystical spirit circling Kyle and considered they should bring the spirit along, but his gaze turned blank at the human\'s next moves.
Kyle raised his hand and dismissed the spirit with an expressionless face.
"Now that you are not needed, there\'s no point in sticking around me. So, leave and return to where you came from."
Then, under Wesley\'s gaze, the spirit vanished into thin air with a poof and an aggrieved sound. Kyle started floating and headed towards the structure exit. He cast one final look at Wesley, whose eyes were still fixed on the spot where the spirit had vanished, before leaving the structure just like the other elves.
