Blink!
Zoom!
"This…" Kuen bit his lower lips in rage but he tried as much as possible to control his rage just like Kira and Kin.
Directly below them was the consciousness of the angel of death, hovering over a body submerged in a pool of his blood. His body was covered in burnt wounds and a deep hole could be seen on his chest. The pressure released by the three enraged mages was enough to draw the attention of everyone in the settlement, including those responsible for Blink's current condition.
As much as Francis and Diana despised the members of the palace of the dead, they couldn't help but feel enraged by the condition Blink was in. Even though the kid was a member of the sect they both wished to destroy, they couldn't deny he was reduced to this sorry state while serving the empire. Of course, they couldn't see the spirit of death hovering over the kid, only Kira, Kin and Kuen could, probably due to the side effects of Derik's aura.
Slowly, the three demon commanders of the palace of the dead descended atop the building, never taking their eyes off Blink. At this point, the sergeant and his comrades were terrified, especially since these three possessed the same diabolical aura like Blink but theirs was on a completely different level. They tried to move but their body felt heavy and their weapons even heavier. The worst part was that they couldn't let go of their equipment, they could only watch in horror while wait for the three mages to take their life away.
"He's not dead…" Kin who was shrouded in a cloud of darkness said with furrowed eyebrows.
"Of course he's not… He is the strongest of his generation and my sworn little brother… If these powerless humans could kill him, then I will be greatly disappointed" Even though Kuen spoke with a straight face, he couldn't hide the relief in his voice and trembling hands.
"And these scum bags?" Kira asked while he released his blood magic on Blink.
Right before everyone's eyes, his wrist was cut open by an unknown force and his blood rained down on Blink's injuries. At a speed visible to the eyes, Blink's injuries were healed but even then the kid didn't look rejuvenated, instead, he looked more exhausted than before.
"Let… Let me take care of them…" Blink muttered weakly while he reached for Kira.
Like watching a horror movie, those four military officials watched Blink rise to his feet with no injuries at all. Apart from the fact he looked a bit pale and exhausted, the murderous intention diffusing out of him was enough to make the soldiers ignore his current condition.
"You had fun beating me up while I was unable to retaliate right? Let's how well you do against me now!" Blink staggered while he spoke but his hands kept playing with his daggers.
Seeing the determination in his eyes, Kuen didn't try to stop Blink. Instead, they chose to return to Kiado, since the spirit of death hovering above Blink was gone.

BANG!
BANG!!
BANG!!!
The style and the pressure the peak masters of the empire brought with them when they appeared was more than enough to stun the whole settlement, but it was only momentarily. Soon countless gunshots erupted from below and bullets rained on them from below.
Fortunately, these masters took advantage of the little time their flashy appearance bought for them to coat their bodies with their aura. Everyone in this group was at the gold realm and only a few were at the peak grade of the silver realm. Even then these people have been in the silver realm for so long that they could contend with gold realm masters, they only lacked enough talent to find their path and break into a new realm. Even then they could be considered as old monsters and were not weak in any way.
The bullets just struck their aura and bounced off, making these masters wonder if Kaido exaggerated the strength of their foes. If this was all they are capable of, a single gold realm master can easily swoop in and destroy everyone.
Puff!
Blood spurted out of a massive hole on the chest of the lizard man Krasic, stunning everyone around. The attack was just so fast that they could barely react to it, all they knew was that a red beam of light emerged from afar and pierced through Krasic's defense like it was butter before penetrating his chest.
Krasic was the strongest lizardman of the earth tribe with a cultivation base of the peak grade of the silver realm, comparable to the other members of Derik's old team, team guardian. Even then he possessed the greatest physical defense amongst the group since his body was covered in powerful golden earth scales but he was still destroyed in one hit.
Before these people could even lament, they realized the beam of light pierced through the lizard man's body and hit Gin who was standing behind him. The lizard man died on the spot, falling off the air like a rock thrown into to river while Gin was a bit lucky. He saw everything clearly and since Krasic tried to struggle, he successfully bought the enchanter enough time to react by ducking to the side but his left hand was blown away by the attack entirely!
