Seeing Kira's reactions Creed's lips curled up into a smile and his eyes let out a silver glow as he violently grabbed on to the massive silver broadsword hanging over his back. He was sincerely hoping that Kira will act this way and both sides will clash! In reality, if Kira accepted his offer and swore allegiance to the nobles, Creed would still feel discontented, all he wanted to do now is to destroy all traces of the palace of the dead and make sure the next generation will forget of their exploits.
"Since you have chosen death, I'll let you die the cruelest death ever! Kill him!!!" Creed roared and the human faction of the army rushed into action. Even though the elves were under Isabel's command and she is yet to give them an order, the human members of the army were more in number, they were a whopping two hundred thousand humans in the army and the elves were close to a hundred thousand. Even if the elves refuse to join in now, Creed refused to believe that Kira will be able to deal with two hundred thousand human warriors and mages, and out of this number, thirty thousand of them were all silver realm elites. With the ability of flight, these silver realm elites, naturally surpassed the bronze realm fighters and mages in speed, leading the charge with Creed right in front of them, charging towards one man.
"Hahahaha… Come try it!" Kira laughed hysterically as the blood orbs around him popped and miraculously formed a sea of blood swirling around him.
"Let me taste your blood!" Kira bellowed as he hid within the sea of blood and surged towards the silver realm elites approaching.
Chants of numerous silver realm oracles echoed everywhere and the whole army of thirty thousand elites was shrouded in golden light, waiting from the sea of blood to collide with them. Even though Kira's power was strange, all they knew is that the youth was not invincible and was hiding his location within the sea of blood.
"Archers! Mages!!!" Creed cried out
Xiii!
Xiii!!!
Xiii!!!!
Hundreds of silver realm archery techniques were used and hundreds of spells were cast, fireballs, lightning bolts, water bullets, boulders, arrows, energy arrows, raw beams of energy filled the sky above and covered the sun. Within the sea of blood, Kira stared in horror, unsure of how Derik managed to single-handedly attack the kingdom, all alone in the past. At this point, he realized that even now, at his current level, he is still inferior to Derik of ten to twenty years ago who attacked the kingdom of Gyro all alone and killed tens of thousands of people. Even then Derik was strong enough to battle Kalos and Aldora who were both gold realm masters and he was only at the silver realm at that time but now Kira was sure he would last long against a gold realm master.
"Truly, the difference between magic spirits and guardian spirits are too vast… it's not something I can cover easily with just hard work and talent…" Kira had a bitter smile on his face as he spoke those words.
"But then what else can I do but fight! Creed and Isabel must die here and now!!" Kira bellowed furiously and surprisingly kept charging forward fearlessly. His movement within the sea of blood was slick as he rapidly changed positions, preventing the attacks from reaching him but in just a second more attacks arrived and he had fewer places to run to.
Roar!!!
Kira's furious cry reached everyone's ears as a man wearing a blood-red knights armor with a bloodied red sword in his hand shot out of the sea of blood, racing towards the attacks falling from above. His eyes gave out a bright red glow as the sea of blood beneath him surged towards the blood-red sword in his hands, it was been sucked in rapidly and the aura diffusing from the sword grew fiercer in turn.
"If you think I will be killed so easily… then you must be crazier than me!" Kira bellowed as he brandished the sword ruthlessly, releasing arcs of blood-red aura at the attacks aimed at him. As most of the attacks missed the target he focused on defending the ones that reached him. Under the numerous assaults, Kira's blood-red armor was struck hard repeatedly and chunks of his armor kept falling apart as time went on.
Vroom!!
A blinding white light soon got Kira's attention as he spotted more than ten silver realm oracles banding together to cast a fusion spell. They were covered in a pillar of blinding white light and a massive silver magic array appeared above Kira. The size of the magic array and the deadly aura that exuded from it alone would make a peak grade silver realm elite tremble in fear.
"Fall!" All fifteen oracles roared and a similar beam of light shot down from the magic array, threatening to consume Kira whole.
"Hehehehe… I am one of the three demon commanders of the palace of the dead… If I get killed by something like this, I would be too ashamed to meet my palace masters teacher in the underworld!"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Kira did not try to flee, instead he laughed hysterically and launched himself towards the descending beam of light. His hands tightly held on to the blood-red sword and he struck at the beam of light fearlessly, releasing all the power within the blood-red sword in one go!
Booooom!
The shockwave from the attack created massive gusts of winds that forced Creed and his men retreat. The watched a massive beam of red light escape the tip of Kira's blood-red sword and collide with the even bigger white light. It didn't take much time for Kira to be consumed by the light and he was shot straight into the ground, successfully creating a five-meter deep crater with the blood mage who was covered in a pool of blood at the center of the crater. His right hand had been placed in ways no man's hand should be placed.
