275 Chapter 275: A fierce battle

The battle lasted for hours and bodies piled upon each other, as agreed Gerald's group, Scott Lockwood's group and the members of the palace of life under Agus command were on standby to prevent outsiders from interfering or people from escaping. They could only watch in horror as both sides slaughter each other, up to the point where there were piles of corpses everywhere and those who were still battling could only trample on those corpses while fighting. Apparently both sides had no reason to retreat, they all wanted to vanquish their enemies to the last member. The death of the paladin and the five disciples of the death mage triggered this hatred for both sides and they were determined to end the other's life, even if it meant their death as well. This was a bountiful harvest for Derik's domain which kept consuming the souls of the dead for its master.

Bang!!

Bang!!

Kira who wielded two blood-red spears defended against Isabel and Creeds attack. If it were a one on one battle, he would have defeated them easily but facing a guardian knight and tank all at once was currently beyond his current capabilities, forcing him into a passive state.

"Ha!" Kira spun while spinning his blood spears, deflecting Creed's attack. The pleasant fragrance of the elf entered his nostrils and he quickly dived forward. Just a second after he left Isabel's figure slashing at his previous position appeared.

Immediately Kira got on his feet, red-colored mist oozed from his body as he tried to create a sea of blood, but Creed or Isabel were no fools. They knew the moment Kira succeeds in doing this, they can only wait for death. Dashing forward with his shield raised high, Creed bashed into the red mist, slamming into Kira who was focused on his spell, successfully breaking his concentration.

Kira responded by conjuring a blood dagger, hoping to end Creed with this attack, but before it could reach, Isabel's arrows did well to deflect the dagger. The fight between the two raged on for longer than expected and both sides kept dealing serious damages.

..........................................

The war portrayed the strength of the younger generation and all those who dared to watched it were stunned by a youth's performance, who from his size was clearly not more than fourteen of age. He was dressed in the usual sleeveless black robe with red hoods, in his hands was a black dagger and he gazed down at the battlefield from the mountain with the spatial mage standing by his side.

"You wish to join the battle?" Kalos shot little Blink a glance before returning his gaze to the battlefield.

"The disciples of the palace master? What about them…." Blink ignored Kalos' questions. He knew Kalos would normally try to stop him from entering the battlefield as bloody as this. Letting him go means he has a reason this.

"At the last moment before the paladin exploded, I created tiny spatial holes to absorb the attacks at them but such small scale spatial holes can only absorb so much… they should be alive, but barely" Kalos said

"Why didn't you protect them completely? You could have created a spatial gate to completely absorb the explosion and save their lives…" Blink frowned.

"If I did that the other gold level masters will would have joined hands to interfere as well��� We don't know where the Lizardman chief stands and from the rumors and powers he has displayed, he should be on par with the Life mage and the death mage… I can't act too rashly…" Kalos answered indifferently.

"And now you want me to enter the war zone and retrieve their body…" Blink's eyes let out a silver flash with a wicked smile blooming on his face.

"At such an age you have already reached mid-grade of the bronze realm… Your proficiency in teleportation has increased by leaps and bounds and your physical capabilities are on par with guardian knights at the same level or even higher thanks to the palace masters mutating aura… You are perfect for the job…" Kalos gave patted Blink's shoulder as he spoke.

He took in Blink as his student because of the boy's strong affinity towards teleportation magic which was a branch of his spatial magic. Ever since that time he has watched Blink grow and attain new strength at an alarming rate, allowing him to possess the strength that rivals foes a level higher than him. His fearless attitude and talent made Kalos consider this kid as his son. Even if the boy did not possess a guardian spirit or cosmic spirit, he was special in everyone's eyes and Kalos was not really the type to put his pupils in danger. He only entertained the thought of sending Blink in because of Derik's five disciples were involved. Waiting any longer would only lead to their death, due to the excess life magic aura left in their body from the paladin's suicidal attack.

"You don't have to worry… even if you didn't bring this up I planned on joining the battle anyway… I'm tired of people calling me the sects youngest and treating me like a child… I will bring back the five disciples of the palace master while killing as many as I can…" Blink answered indifferently.

"Those still fighting are too focused on their battle to sense the small thread of life those five are still holding on to… But should you approach that area, they will definitely figure out something is wrong and move against you… You need to be careful… those paladins are quite powerful… at best you can only escape from them… don't think about taking them on… My space aura still lingers around that area, so I can guide you to the exact location…. Don't fail me…" Kalos' voice echoed in Blink's head even though his lips were not moving.

"who the hell do you think I am? I will be the one to surpass everyone in this sect and become the palace master's successor!" Blink declared and vanished. Leaving a stunned Kalos, who never thought his student was this ambitious.
