330 Chapter 330

It was a team of four, all heavily armed and each wearing normal green camouflage military uniform and they each had some sort of black google, Blink guessed they used that to see through his cloaking spell. At this point, everyone was gazing at the massive silver array above, troops were gathering, preparing for the worst and even armored fighting vehicles were been moved. With this, Blink realized these people were prepared for this day.

"Bring down your spell and come with us quietly… where are your friends?" The man had a thick bushy mustache and a scar that ran down his left eye, all the way down to his jaw.

"Hehehehe… My friends? I sent them off early… They would get in my way when dealing with you all… I guess I made the right decision… as for the magic array above this settlement… I can't take it down just yet… Instead of wasting your time on me, I believe you should focus on fortifying this settlement first because when that thing activates… The strongest warriors and mages of the empire will be stepping into this place... Maybe my master will be there… Maybe not, either way… this settlement will be burnt to the ground" Blink's eyes released a bright silver flash and more strange runes kept appearing on the magic array above, while he summoned his twin magic death daggers from his storage ring.

Hearing the mage speak about the warriors and mages of the empire, the sergeant didn't get flustered and remained emotionless but when Blink spoke about his master, the team of four soldiers trembled unconsciously due to fear. The moment Blink mentioned his master, his silver aura was quickly invaded by some sort of darkish purple aura which carried the smell of death with it, stunning those four men. Apparently, even they have heard of the immortal death mage with the undying body and a legion of the dead under his commands. Even though they have made various preparations to be able to challenge the death mage and his army of the dead and they were quite confident of succeeding, that doesn't mean they didn't feel threatened by his presence. A man capable of taming death is not easy to deal with.

"Kill him before he completes his spells!" The sergeant roared and the whole team opened fire on them.

Unfortunately for them Blink was already one step ahead and had already set up an invisible barrier around him. Seeing the bullets bounce off the barrier, he once again felt happy he was fortunate to join the sorcery class and not the battle mage class. Having a wide range of spells, even if they are not offensive spells, they are more useful in situations like this.

"This is some supernatural shit… blow that little shit to smithereens!" the sergeant roared.

Following his orders, the soldiers dropped their assault rifles and picked up RPG's, all aiming at Blink whose calm expression crumbled.

Boom!

Boom!!

Boom!!!

Before Blink could take action, three explosions occurred right in front of him, making the empty space around him tremble while revealing the shape of the barrier he set up.

Puti!

The mage spat out a mouthful of blood and fell on his knees but at the same time, another rune appeared on the massive silver array above, making the soldiers despair.

"Hahahahaha! Do you think I will just roll over and die so easily? Don't underestimate the mages of the palace of the dead! You powerless humans!!!!" Blink completely went crazy at this moment, releasing his death aura which took the form of a horned red-eyed beast, stunning the soldiers once again.

"What are you doing? Get yourself together and shoot him down!" Thanks to the sergeant's orders, they regained their cool and prepared to take another shot.

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

"You!!!!" Blink roared as his silver eyes turned purple and he sent forth a powerful wave of death aura from his magic daggers, causing them to explode before they hit the barrier! But in the end, they were still close enough to cause some damage to the barrier, forcing him to cough up some more blood but a sinister smile bloomed on his face as another rune appeared the silver array above them.

"One more shot and you are done… Hehehe… take the shot! Let's see who will remain standing!" Blink laughed while sluggishly pushing himself on his feet.

His crazed nature and unyielding spirit even in the face of death, made these soldiers experience fear. They finally confirmed that Blink was a member of the palace of death sect and began considering a situation where they are forced to fight an army of suicidal, crazed mages like Blink or even his master, the death mage.

"One more time… We will get him this time… Shoot him down!" The sergeant roared, snapping his soldiers out of their daze.

At this point, there were visible web-shaped cracks on the barrier Blink set up and even the mage didn't look good either. He was blood from his mouth, nostrils, and even eyes. Even though he is yet to get hit by one of their attacks, it was obvious, he was sacrificing a lot to keep the barrier alive. The fact he was yet to repair the damage simply meant the youth was nearing his limit and Blink knew this.

He cursed himself for having the base cultivation of the mid-grade of the bronze realm and wished he had more time to grow. If only he was stronger, he would have been able to wipe these people out while creating the long-ranged teleportation array. 

At this point, he realized that he gave up a lot of time to send Blaze and Gust back. If he didn't waste so much time, he would have been done with this spell already but even then he didn't regret his action. He would rather make sure they are safe and face dangerous foes alone than have them endanger themselves and ultimately get killed. This was the same reason he left their team in the first place and forced it to disband. Apart from Blaze and Gust, the others were just too weak and since the empire had higher expectations of him, they always tend to give him dangerous tasks. Rather than have them all die off because of him, he decided to leave and take the only two members who could keep up with him along the way.

Yes, he didn't say this to anyone because he was afraid they will think he's soft. But it's still the truth! Gazing at these people prepare to launch another barrage of their attack, Blink decided to forgo defense and focus on the remaining rune which was in the process of forming. He could feel the killing intentions overflowing from these soldiers, especially the sergeant but he wasn't flustered.

"COME AT ME WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE! POWERLESS HUMANS!" Blink threw his hands open and screamed at the top of his lungs as their short battle reached the climax.
