279 Chapter 279: Struggle 1

"Silence you heretic!" A hoarse voice echoed from far and a golden spear shot down from the black clouds, shooting at Kuen.

Seeing the golden spear and the aura diffusing from it, Kuen's eye dilated and for the first time in this battle, he felt anxious.

"Peak grade silver realm paladin!" He cried out in fear. If mere low-grade silver realm paladins were giving them this much trouble, what will happen when someone at the same level as the three demon commanders wielding light magic appears?

Boom!

Kuen instantly forgoes the thought of killing the three other paladins, instantly deactivating his black hole spell, blowing them away.

"Haaaaa!"

Kuen roared as he released an invisible violent wave of his aura, colliding with the golden spear.

Boom!

Boom!!

Boom!!!

As the two forces collided, several explosions occurred throwing Kuen into the crater created by his black holes spell earlier. His dilated as he spat out a mouthful of blood crawling a bit before getting on his feet. Even though he managed to stop the golden spear, he didn't expect his enemy to be this powerful. Either way he wasn't too bothered about a second attack coming his way since he was quite sure the expert responsible for that attack must have put in quite a lot of power into it, it is not something that can be replicated easily.

"As expected of the strongest commander in the palace of the dead"

"You are indeed powerful..."

"But it all ends here and now…"

The three paladins blown away earlier casually jumped into the thirty-meter deep crater. Their eyes released a blinding golden aura which in turn gathered behind them, forming a pair of golden energy wings. Divine golden runes began appearing all over their body, spreading all the way to their magic weapons. At this point, Kuen's pale face turned gloomy, this spell used by these three entirely changed their aura, turning them into beings that could rival the ancient beast. His eyes remained fixed on these three paladins are no longer humans.

Holy prayer: Blessed divine deity

Bang!

With a bang all three paladins shot forward from three different directions, reaching Kuen in an instant. They all struck at Kuen mercilessly with their divine weapons shrouded in a golden aura.

"I refuse to die here!" Kuen roared as he released an invisible force to clash against the magic weapons of the paladins.

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

A cloud of darkness relentlessly faced off against three paladins. Kin's situation seemed worse than that of Kuen, he was forced into a passive state. Forced to defend almost all through, Kin was yet to deal considerable damage to the paladins, and the fact he possessed darkness magic made it even worse. He felt he was destined to die in this battle but even then his resolve didn't quiver or flatter.

Swoosh!

Kuen hovered almost effortlessly as he evaded a golden arc of energy sent at him by the paladin. He quickly taped the floor lightly with his toes as he spun to the left, barely evading the second golden arc. Before he was yet to recover from the previous actions another golden arc was right at his face, not giving him enough time to evade.

"Haaaa!"

Kuen cried out as he hurriedly coated his hands with darkness aura and reached out for the golden arc, hoping to stop with his inhuman strength granted to him by his mutations.

Bang!

Kuen was forced back for a second but he quickly found his footing. Just like he expected, the darkness aura coated around his palms offered little or no resistance against the light aura, fading the second it made contact with the golden. The golden arc struck Kin's bare palm forcing him to retreat even further. Black blood spurted out of the deep wound in his hands.

"If this is all the commander of the palace of the dead is capable of, then I must say… You all have been exaggerated badly..." A brown-haired paladin dressed in a white and golden robe said. He gripped on to his golden spear as he assumed a fighting stance, preparing for a second attack.

"Even if the five disciples of the death mage survived… it won't take long before they are killed by Young master Tristain… There is no way they can escape from him…" A lady dressed in white robes said with a mocking grin on her face.

Hearing these people's words Kin's expression turned pale. If by chance what these people said happens that means both Blink, his four dark guards sent to protect him, and his favorite person in the sect, Andrew will end up dead. Blink's appearance and declaration gave him hope, the thought of losing Andrew was like a plague which he wished to avoid. He once had the upper hand when he battled these three paladin's but after the suicide attack by the paladin which lead to the defeat of Derik's disciples, his mind was not at ease. All he wanted to do is rush over there to check if they survived but the three paladins took advantage of his condition to pin him down and deal several fatal blows. Kin was about to rebuke the three but then a sliver light shone at the location and then vanished.

"Kalos!" Kin asked hastily, knowing Kalos was somehow linked to their thoughts.

"Your dark guards are safe… Andrew is safe as well with the other disciples… They really took a beating but they will survive…" Kalos' voice echoed in his mind.

"Stop holding back… You have no reason to worry anymore… Kill them all!" Kalos added with an angered voice.

Hearing this a vicious grin appeared on Kin's elderly face. His eyes were like two black wholes sucking in all form for light greedily while the darkness kept spreading none stop. Seeing Kin acting, the three paladins scoffed at his actions and quickly activating their divine strikes, brandishing their blades at Kin's direction, releasing arcs of golden aura but to their greatest surprise, as soon as the golden light left their blades, it vanished.

"My darkness shall swallow all forms of light… not even the rays of the sun can penetrate…. Welcome to my world…. Dark magic: Darkness bloom!" Kin's figure vanished but his voice echoed in the ears of the three paladins sending cold shivers down their spines.
