Kalos frowned while he listened to Blink speak. The kid has always been reserved and quiet from the day Kalos to him in, even though he was the kid's master, he wasn't sure how capable Blink is. All Kalos knew was that no one at the same grade or a grade above Blink could defeat him, he was almost as powerful as Derik when he was younger and even stronger than Kalos when he was younger. As much as Kalos would have loved to see how capable Blink is, his opponent was an entire realm above him and also held the title of the paladin. If it were anyone else wielding any other element he probably wouldn't bother much but the case now is different.
"Do you believe you can win…" Kalos spoke calmly while glaring at the five unconscious disciples of the death mage and the four dark mages who were using their dark aura to slowly weaken the residual light aura in their system.
"No, I don't think I can win… But I don't think I will lose either… we will never know unless we try" Blink wiped out the blood on his lips with the back of his palm. His cold gaze remained fixed on the golden-haired paladin in black who kept observing him from a distance.
"The five disciples of the palace masters were defeated by a single paladin… While master Kira battles Creed and Isabel, the other two commanders are locked in a battle with three paladins each, that's why they are unable to change the tide of battle because they are been pinned down… if your elder brother Kuen is having a hard time against two paladins… Do you think one all alone… Do you think you are half as strong as your big brother, Kuen?" Kalos explained softly. He was eager to know Blink's reply when the condition of the most powerful commander in the palace of the dead is revealed.
"I see… In that case, this is more reason for me to stay here and fight… If big brother Kuen is having much trouble taking on these paladins… If I succeed, wouldn't that make me more famous than the palace masters? Wouldn't that make me a core member of the sect just like them?" Blink asked in an indifferent tone.
"It will…" Kalos' eyebrows furrowed when he heard Blink's words. This was not the reply he was expecting.
"Then that's all I need to know!" Blink roared and dashed towards the paladin dressed in black.
..................…..
Kuen glided weightlessly backward while waving his hands lightly, sending numerous corpses at the three paladin's trying to surround him. Around them were close to fifty people, both friends and foe unable to move because of the increase in the gravity of the area, even massive werewolves and vampires on their side laid flat, only able to watch the exchange between the two sides but the three paladin's seemed unfazed by Kuen's power. Their body had cracks on them from which light aura poured out from, all the way to their faces. They were certainly using their life forces to empower their bodies for a short while, in exchange for enough strength to battle Kuen as equals.
They dashed side by side, utilizing their magic sword to split in two anything sent their way while reducing the distance between them and Kuen.
Holy prayer: Accelerate!
Holy prayer: Divine slash!
The three men turned into three beams of golden light and dispersed into three different directions before converging towards Kuen again.
"Bastards!" Kuen gritted his teeth as he quickly halted when he saw a beam of golden light behind him.
Clap!
As soon as he clapped his hands together, three figures flanked him from three different directions with their blades swinging at him from different directions, blocking all his possible escape routes.
"Get back!" Kuen roared as an invisible force exploded from his body and struck all three men from all sides before their blades could reach him, sending them flying close to a hundred meters away.
Swoosh!
Kuen's body soon levitated from the ground with his bloodshot eyes glowing badly. He quickly brought his palms and invisible waves began flowing towards him. At the same time, all three paladins yet to recover from the previous counter felt their body been pulled towards Kuen by a terrible force threatening to split them in half if they dared to resist.
"Gravity magic: Blackhole" Kuen whispered those words with an exhausted smile on his face.
Bang!
Bang!!
Bang!!!
More golden aura erupted from the body of the three paladins. No matter how much they tried to deny it, they were a hundred percent sure that once they reach Kuen, their lives will end in an instant, even before they can resist.
Bang!
Bang!!
Bang!!!
More explosions occurred around them as they used poured out more aura, trying to fight against the invisible force gripping them tightly. The explosions swiftly blew away everyone four hundred meters around them and even though they were airborne, a deep crater began forming beneath them.
Puti!
Kuen spat out a mouthful of tainted black blood but that didn't change the fact that the final victor in this struggle will be him, so the vicious smile never faded.
"You dare look down on us you heretic? You will receive the divine punishment of the creator!" One of the paladins who was bald and muscular bellowed.
"Hahahaha! How can you be so naïve at such an advanced age… the power of life and darkness were bestowed upon us both by the creator… You see this as evil but in truth, darkness is just another element like every other element… without light, there can never be darkness but wherever there is light, there must be darkness… a different side of the same coin! You all fear its capabilities that's why you plan to destroy all those who possess dark elements… this is because only darkness can stand against light!... I a demon commander of the palace of the dead will not fold my hands and let this happen… I will wipe out your families and descendants up till the youngest… In a hundred years from now, the world will forget your names! I swear it!" Kuen bellowed furiously!
