281 Chapter 281: Death god 1

The youth was known as Fernandos, a young paladin with enough potential to rival Agus, the brightest sun of the palace of life. He was a normal guardian knight who greatly admired Cyrus from the very first day when he watched life mage battle the priest of the holy church and his angel, Kastiel. At that time he was just a mid-grade bronze realm guardian knight with little strength but big dreams. He survived that battle and the very day the palace of life and the palace of the dead were formed, Fernados was amongst the first people alongside Agus who begged Cyrus to take him in as a disciple. Even though he lacked magic powers and enough strength to even be considered a minion, Cyrus saw the determination in the eyes of the youth and took him in.

After spending a few months under Cyrus' care, Fernandos developed an affinity for the light element. This was probably due to the fact that he was always standing by Cyrus' side, an after effect of taking in so much life aura for a prolonged period of time. Just like Derik's death aura, Cyrus' life aura severely affected those around him making all of them view him as a god and his words as the only truth. Since Cyrus and Derik had a very close relationship, all the members of his sect instantly forgo the old teaching of light and death being two totally different elements which are created to destroy each other. With Cyrus taking the lead, they mingled with the members of the palace of the dead and built a solid relationship with them, all just for Cyrus' sake. They wanted to gain the recognition of their god, they wanted to gain his blessings!

After attaining the life element Fernandos' talent was revealed and his potential rose quickly. His strength and realm rose at a rapid pace, leaving him only a step behind Agus who was considered a cultivation beast. He followed the path of the paladin and made a name for himself, being only slightly behind Agus in strength.

Seeing someone like Fernandos getting flustered over the war, Agus couldn't help but feel nervous. He didn't necessarily feel threatened by the level of strength the members of the palace of the dead were displaying. They are allies and having stronger allies is always a good thing but he felt defeated a bit. All his life, he has always considered himself a top tier master with heavenly talent and potential, the only one capable of replacing the life mage in the future. But watching Blink's performance left him speechless and ashamed, a low-level bronze realm sorcerer was single-handedly battling a paladin at the mid-grade of the silver realm! It is unheard of and even the death mage or life mage may not be able to achieve such results in battle if they are in Blink's situation.

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

Xiu!

Blink turned into countless silver lights just before the black magic broadsword shrouded in golden aura hit him. He promptly appeared behind the paladin dressed in black with his hands shooting like a spear, his moves were so refined and natural that the paladin inwardly praised this kid who has managed to pin him down for a while now. It wasn't that Blink was just too strong, instead, the kid is just too hard to kill and very dangerous as well, each of his moves always aims for a vital part of the human body.

Who would have thought a fourteen-year-old kid will be a trained assassin who has refined his assassination techniques to the very peak? If it were anyone else they would have been killed by Blink thousand times over, unfortunately for Blink, the paladin was no pushover.

Peng!

Holy prayer: Divine wall!

A golden wall appeared the paladin, preventing Blink's dagger from reaching his skull.

Holy prayer: Binding chains!

The paladin roared and stamped his feet on the ground, creating a magic array that spammed over a kilometer wide.

"It ends here!" He roared as he chains shot out of the golden array embedded on the soil, lashing out on every evil being a kilometer around the paladin.

Unlike the chains summoned by the previous paladin to bind his foes, these chains directly pierced the bodies of its targets, directly taking out the head of some unlucky supernatural beings and undead.

"Ha!" Blink exhaled heavily and for the first time the fight started, he was flustered.

Xiu!

Xiu!

Xiu!

Over and over again Blink turned into a body of silver light, vanishing and reappearing a few meters away from his original position every time the golden chains came for him. On his third disappearing act a golden chain shot right into his knee, shattering his knee cap. Before he could even scream in pain another chain shot into his belly and a few more completely bound him, before dragging all the way back to the paladin.

"I must confess, amongst all the foes and beasts I have encountered all through my life and journey as a paladin, you are the hardest to kill… You are the most capable... It took me a while to understand the way your abilities work… Tsk… Tsk… Tsk… so troublesome" The paladin sneered while walking towards the immobilized Blink.

Puti!

Blink spat out a mouthful of blood while pushing back his red hood, revealing his face. He looked extremely pale and eyes kept flashing silver and purple lights. He inwardly cursed the paladin for being too capable and smart!

His teleportation ability was divided into two versions, short-range and long-range. Long-range teleportation allowed him to practically teleport to anywhere in the world, as long as he has seen that place and has a clear picture of the place in his mind, while the short-ranged teleportation allows him to move from one point to another with a hundred meters gap as the maximum. While the preparation for long-ranged teleportation is quite lengthy, the short-ranged teleportation is almost instant. the fact that the paladin could understand the nature of his abilities and trap him in one go clearly shows how much experience he has
