233 Chapter 233: Kuen appears

The other members of the group were so stunned by the battle taking place right in front of them that they began to wonder how this kid in front of them is a recruit with such combat capabilities.

What the heck? He shouldn't even be in the magic class with the kind of physical prowess he is displaying is even beyond the capabilities of the guardian knight of their little team.

"Are all members of the palace of the dead so strong?" Gust muttered but the others heard her clearly and shook their heads in response.

"This guy is leagues ahead of us, who would have thought the person we were looking down on can single-handedly battle such a terrifying beast" Blaze said with a disbelieving look on his face.

Back then the kid always dressed in an oversized brown robe insisted they call him Blink since everyone else used nicknames expect the Layla girl. They always took created their code names based on their abilities so they were quite interested in seeing what kind of power Blink possessed and on this very day, they confirmed that the name was perfect for this tyrannic mage on their team.

His ability to instantly teleport from one location to another shows his immense control over the space element, though it is at a lower level when compared to that of the former kingdom guardian Kalos. This must be the reason why the undead commander took interest in him and decided to take him in as a disciple.

WOOOSH!

Blink spun to the left, evading the battle-ax hacking down at him while pushing his black dagger forward at lightning speed, aiming for the orcs broad chest!

Peng!

The orc used its battle-ax to block the attack, staggering backward uncontrollably. Before it could regain its balance, Blink was already in mid-air and the vicious smile on his face never faded for even a moment. With a short spin, he landed two consecutive kicks on the orcs face, forcing it to retreat even further while spitting out a mouthful of black blood mixed with green blood.

It was obvious that the orc is suffering from internal corroding after the dagger found its way into its body at Blink's hands. This magic weapon was specifically made for him by the palace of the dead's best magic weapon crafter, infusing Derik's death aura into the weapon. This magic weapon is considered an experiment where a fighter infuses his power directly into a weapon, allowing it to perform a certain task. As Derik's death aura has been used to craft the weapon, it lost its ability to gather and release condensed aura like every other low-level magic weapon. Even then, Blink was excited when he has presented this weapon as a gift from the palace master, for officially becoming a recruit. He was literarily the youngest member of that palace, its only natural for everyone to spoil him.

"Hahahaha! We are not done yet!" Blink laughed hysterically as he stomped the ground and shot forward like a missile, leaving numerous web-like cracks in his previous location.

In just a single breathe, he had crossed the distance between him and his foe with his black dagger sticking forward. The orc roared in response and struck at him with both hands but once again Blink's figure turned silver and vanished, appearing above the orc!

"Die!" He cried out as he struck down relentlessly! Sinking his dagger deep into the orc skull, before using the orc's massive body as a stepping stone to push himself back. Landing a few meters away with a bang.

Blink watched the massive body of the orc fall like a rock and a glimpse of exhaustion could be seen on his facial expression. Her chest heaved up and down heavily as he fell on his butt, breathing out heavily. Constant short-ranged teleportation may be faster but his mana pool was too small for him to use it consecutively. He was completely worn out now, lazily slamming his palm on the ground creating a silver magic array on the empty space right in front of him.

Wam!

With a loud sound, a figure began to appear at that very spot. The man was in his mid-twenties but he looked much younger! He was dressed in a similar black and red sleeveless mage robe with skull-like designs all over it. Just like Blink, his blood-red hair was neatly combed backward, tied into a ponytail and his eyes looked like it lacked eye sockets, covered by darkness containing countless stars.

"Little guy… You pushed yourself too much again" Kuen said calmly after observing the worn-out Blink for a while. Not giving a damn about the other kids around, he walked up to Blink and pulled him up effortlessly.

"You pulled me over to your side successfully… I'm truly impressed, I didn't think you will be able to manage this from this much distance, Master Kalos definitely didn't make a mistake when he took you in, so what is the emergency?" Kuen who was almost twice Blink's size stooped down like a father talking to his son while he asked the question.

"You know how master Kalos always spoke about outside beings trying to invade our planet… I think they are here… I have gone through the info on almost all the magic beasts in the world… that thing is not one of them! I brought you here to confirm" Blink spoke only after catching his breath. He pointed towards the huge corpse of the orc which he just killed a few seconds ago.

I brought you here to confirm!!!

These words rang like a bell in the ears of the other recruits present, leaving them speechless. Not only did Blink manage to defeat this beast alone, but he also claimed he summoned the peak grade silver realm expert just to look into the identity of this creature! This could be considered as the peak level of arrogance but none of them dared rebuke him, not after he single-handedly defeated the orc.

His control over his magic was already beyond something any of them can contend with and his physical capabilities are even more shocking. The fact he was able to trade blows with the orc only showed how physically endowed he is. In reality, the truth was that Blink's body was undergoing some sort of mutation just like the other experts of the palace of the dead due to prolonged exposure to Derik's sinister aura. At his current state, he was already beyond the realm of normal people and even low-level bronze realm guardian knights in terms of speed and strength. This is something he acquired unknowingly in exchange for his physical appearance. Right now, only people as powerful as Kuen, Kaido, and Kin can prevent Derik's overbearing aura form having physical changes on them and that's why they still look completely normal.
