Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 717: Learning to craft skill cores II



A chill ran down the twins' spines as they stared at Kyle's face with wide eyes.

Test it? What test?

Didn't something similar that Kyle was creating previously explode not long ago? Does the nature's favorite really want to test this dangerous object on them!?

The duo scooted back as Kyle moved toward them, their backs colliding with a shield that had formed behind them to block their escape. Kyle tilted his head, seemingly waiting for them to take the glowing orb from his hand.

Mason took a deep breath; it wasn't like they could outmatch someone who had defeated one of the shadow generals! He began to advanc toward Kyle, despite his twin's attempts to stop him. He patted his brother's shoulder and reassured him that he would make it through, no matter what.

Kyle's eyebrow twitched at the sight, his gaze flickering to the orb in his hand.

"It's not like it's some kind of destructive artifact, right?"

Bia landed on his shoulder with a chuckle.

- "I wouldn't be surprised if it is!"

Kyle was left speechless, and Bia's words only deepened the twins' unease. However, Mason still took the orb from his hand with a determined look. Kyle gaze narrowed.

"Absorb it."

With a nod, Mason tightly shut his eyes. It was better to do what needed to be done as quickly as possible to minimize the pain.

The tiny orb in his hand shattered into particles and entered his body.

Logan stayed by his side, worry etched on his face and a powerful healing potion in his hand, but fortunately, even after a few seconds, nothing happened.

Mason slowly opened his eyes with an utterly bewildered look and stared at Kyle.

"That...?"

He staggered back when Kyle looked at him with a hint of expectation in his gaze.

"Did it work?"

Mason nodded, still not fully processing what he had just experienced.

"It did. I absorbed the skill; it was an (F)-rank fireball, wasn't it?"

Kyle smirked. So he succeeded. Good. He raised his hand and crafted several more tiny cores. This time, the twins were more than willing to try. Yet, in the end, they were both left disappointed since the human only created (F)-rank fireballs.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After a while, when Kyle was finally sure that he had succeeded in mastering the ability to craft skill cores, he stopped. He glanced at the twins. They wore dejected expressions, and who wouldn't feel that way after absorbing so many fireball skill cores that weren't even useful?

A faint smile appeared at the corners of Kyle's lips, but it faded before the twins could see. He began to float.

"I guess that's enough for the time being. It's finally goodbye then."

The twins sighed with relief when they heard his words. They even waved at him, urging him to just disappear directly!

Kyle's eyes flickered with amusement. He checked his mind-space, where many skill cores he had acquired floated. But since they were low rank and useless to him, he had never used them.

He glanced at the duo below him.

"Well, I remember a lot about my past thanks to them, and I dislike being indebted to others. Besides, any skill below my rank is not useful to me..."

Logan and Mason jumped in fright when they saw the human throw a few glowing objects toward them. Kyle could only shake his head as the duo collided and fell down, before he vanished into the portal that illuminated behind him with Bia.

The twins cautiously glanced at what the human had thrown their way, and their eyes widened in shock as they spotted several glowing, fist-sized skill cores scattered across the ground before them.

Mason gasped in disbelief.

"Their size is enormous! They are at least (S)-rank or maybe even higher!"

The duo collected the cores, astonished to discover that all the skills within them were incredibly powerful!

It wasn't easy to come across strong skill cores; although they could be found within the bodies of defeated monsters, the odds of obtaining even a single core after slaying numerous monsters were quite rare!

They glanced at the sky where Kyle had vanished and exclaimed simultaneously.

"He wasn't that bad..."

Then, they erupted into laughter and collapsed onto the ground to calm down. The time the two spent with Kyle felt like walking on the edge of a precipice! The human's presence alone was enough to make them lose their composure! How could someone be so strong when he looked much younger than they were?

Despite everything, they felt certain they would encounter Kyle again in the future, especially since he seemed to have caught on to the fact that their presence brought calm to others. Maybe that was the main reason; even though the human clearly disliked having others around him, he compelled them to stay around him.

Mason let out a sigh.

"I guess his emotions found some peace because of us. But what made you decide to use your inherited skill on him after our first encounter went so horribly?"

Logan scratched his head, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

"It was actually triggered accidentally, but the human didn't stop me because it only remained around my body. Then you also started to use it, and seeing him getting

comfortable, I just let it stay active."

He raised his voice.

"However, the primary reason was that I disliked his gaze! When it turned empty, it was so unsettling and frightening!"

Mason smiled at his brother, then he thought about the skill the two of them had inherited from their father.

#*Inherited skill;

Emotional Resonance (D)-rank;

This skill can create an invisible aura around the wielder, which helps everyone nearby calm their minds and regain their numb emotions. This sense of calm can enable them to vividly recall any aspect of their past, weaving together fragments of their history into a coherent

narrative.

It was a skill that was neither useful nor powerful, yet who would have thought that such a seemingly weak ability would one day bring them so much fortune?

Mason's gaze traveled toward the sky.

"Accident...? Regardless, I suppose what happened was for the best. The nature's favorite is indeed intimidating when his expression becomes unreadable."
