"W-w-w-wh-wha-what WHAT t-th-THE h-he-HELL?!?!?!?!"
An extremely astonished voice echoed through the entire cave.
The one who stuttered and shouted was none other than Nigel.
Soon after coming out of the void crack caused by Kylo he saw an extremely beautiful blonde maid sitting in a lotus position absorbing mana from different color of stones.
He was stunned at first. Not just because of her extreme beauty but also because of 'unlimited' stones.
Seeing a beauty absorbing mana from the stones nonchalantly Nigel could not help but ask Kylo if she was one of the visitor.
The visitor was what Kylo had mentioned to him when Liu Zhengnan had arrived.
Kylo shook his head indicating she wasn't among visitors but also refused to answer who she was.
Seeing he was getting nowhere, Nigel started to inspect her. After all even he could see the girl in front of him was just a second step of Alpha Stage.
Upon closer inspection he found her soul somewhat.... no pretty familiar.
He already doubted something but didn't want to believe his crazy guess. After all even he knew Avery was an elf.
And he just turned towards Kylo asking for confirmation. And that's what led to the current situation.
"S-she is r-really Ave??" Nigel asked in a daze.
Kylo once again nodded his head calmly. He already knew that Nigel although always wore an apathetic face he was always worried about Avery.
Was it because of the {Dao Oath} or was it because of bond Kylo didn't knew.
Nigel once again asked
"Did this happen... when huge amount of mana gathered here?"
And Kylo did what he was doing.... nodding his head coolly.
"Y-you... didn't you say... you were doing some experiment??"
Nigel asked, still astounded how Avery's cultivation base vanished.
Indeed just when the event happened Nigel immediately contacted Kylo telepathically to ask him about the abnormality.
At that time the excuse Kylo made was he was experimenting something which led to the collection of mana.
Nigel later paid no heed to it.
But who knew that led to disappearance of Avery's cultivation levels.
The reason Kylo did not let the snake know about the elf's situation was because Kylo knew he would cause a ruckus.
From how he reacted one could see why Kylo did it.
As he looked at Kylo after asking, he got another nod from Kylo.
Nigel had an extremely ugly expression on his face.
Nigel wished to beat Kylo so much, but his last trace of rationality held it.
After all he knew there might be a reason for it. Seeing her as a elf at least confirmed one thing that she awakened her bloodline.
But that did not appease his anger. After all he was 'fooled' by Kylo.
[See... this extreme reaction was the reason why I did not inform him.]
Kylo clicked his tongue inwardly
And he was also reading his mind now. Seeing all his thoughts, Kylo eyes flashed coldly for a second which remained unnoticed to Nigel.
What he was thinking... no one knew.
But if his previous subordinates saw that trace of coldness they would be sure someone would be suffering hell.
And within this tensed situation was when Avery opened her eyes after stabilising herself.
Looking at them almost on the verge of fighting Avery hurriedly stood up before asking Nigel
"What happened? What are you doing??"
Nigel looked at her worriedly and asked
"What happened to your cultivation levels? Where did your energy disappear?"
In fact Nigel already guessed almost many things. But he still needed a confirmation.
"I awakened my bloodline thanks to master."
Avery replied with a cheerful smile.
But even if she had a happy smile, Nigel frowned even more.
After all he was following Avery. Even though it might be because of Dao Oath, he was still known as her follower.
Even though he never called her Master, he was still a pet.
Now the person he was following was happily calling someone her master.
He as the prince, could not accept it. And it was not just because he was a prince, but also because of his strength.
He was a Supremo and Kylo was just a Soul Formation Stage.
Kylo might have impressive background and history. But almost no one cares about the past.
At present he was strong and... that's it.
But that frown on Nigel's face soon disappeared. Avery didn't notice it, but the same could not be said for Kylo.
Heck, he was continuously reading Nigel's soul so he knew what he was continuously thinking.
And the devil's eyes were flashing with thoughts, known to no one.
