332 Chapter 332

"Not like this… I refuse to die like this!" Gin roared in defiance and mustered all the energy he could for a final push, ultimately turning into a beam of light and heading to an unknown part of the settlement.

"Bastard!" Donald roared in anger and was planning to dash forward, unfortunately, the others didn't let him vent his anger out recklessly, they had to stop him.

"We need to separate... if we remained clustered like this, they might as well kill us all in one go" Kira said while gazing at the direction Gin flew towards with strange emotions in his eyes.

"I agree… according to Blink, the artificial sky rift created by these people is located somewhere underground…. And I believe he's right… I can feel a powerful amount of energy below the earth but it scattered so we can't really tell where" Kaido frowned while gazing at the direction where the red beam came from. 

With his enhanced vision as a gold realm master, he could see a black cannon like machinery slowly positioning itself for another shot at them. If it were only one, he wouldn't be too bothered, what annoyed him the most was that there were tons of them, positioned all around the mighty walls of the settlement which is protected by a powerful forcefield that even he was not confident of breaking easily. 

These masters were no fools, the safest place and the smartest thing to do at the moment would be to descend and stand amongst their people, that way, these humans would not be able to utilize their deadly weapons unless they wish to risk killing their own as well. But their pride as peerless masters of their generation kept clouding their judgment, making them refuse to stand at the same level as mere mortals with no special powers at all.

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

Meanwhile, Blink panted heavily but the smile on his face never faded. His body shifted from side to side leaving only after images but even with an enhanced speed thanks to his mutation, he couldn't completely escape the barrage of bullets raining on his position, forcing him to blink out of the way.

"Hahaha… Your weapons are formidable but you are not…. I don't have to be faster than those weapons... I only need to be faster than the person that uses it!!!" 

Letting out a savage war cry, Blink dashed forward once again but this time, his eyes were not on the weapons these people carried, instead, it was fixated on their bodies.

Bang!

Just a split second before the sergeant could release the shot, Blink stomped the ground launching himself to the side. He quickly spun his daggers rapidly before shooting towards the four men fearlessly. 

Soon the team of four formed a circle, backing each other while firing at the moving mage. At this point, even Blink had to admit this was an effective way of shutting him down. They were atop the roof of a building with little room to maneuver and as long as they could cover all parts of the roof, they can either kill him the moment he makes a mistake or just wait until he runs out of mana. But of course, their formation had one flaw.

"Well, well… You shouldn't have done that, I almost got shot" 

Blink's cold voice sent shivers down the spine of these four men, especially since it came from behind. Before they could react it was already too late, Blink had already teleported himself into the center of the formation with their backs turned on him, there was no way he would miss such an opportunity.

Puff!

Puff!!

He drove his daggers deep into the skull of two soldiers not minding the blood that splattered on his body neither did he bother about retrieving the dagger from his victims, quickly reaching for the commander and the other soldier and the sergeant with his bare hands.

In response, the sergeant barely reacted better than the others but it was enough for him to perform a forward roll before turning his attention to Blink who had already killed the last member of his team by ripping out his throat with his bare hands.

"Monsters! You are not human!!" The sergeant roared in anger before releasing a couple of shots but Blink could not be killed so easily.

He ignored the sergeant's words and focused on his body movements, flawlessly predicting the time of the attack, allowing him to evade the gunshots almost easily making his foe grit his teeth in despair.

"Are the others like you?" 

The sergeant took a deep breath and calmed himself down before dropping the assault rifle and getting on his feet while he asked the question.

"Not really… I am the strongest amongst my peers and the one who will succeed my master, the death mage… It's safe to say no one in my generation can be compared to me" 

Blink wasn't in a hurry to kill the sergeant either, he simply walked over to the corpses of the soldiers he killed earlier and retrieved his magic daggers.

"Ha! We are saved… If everyone your age was this strong then we will definitely find it hard to survive if your empires attacks with its full force… this explains why only those old monsters came…" The sergeant heaved a sigh of relief as he spoke, successfully pissing Blink off.

"What do you mean?" Blink asked with furrowed eyebrows and a pair of glowing silver eyes.

"Well… You see, Those men who came here will never leave this place alive and even if they do, some of them will die in this battle… and you if I can kill you here and now, we have no reason to worry about the younger generation…in the end, we win!" The sergeant said those words with enough confidence to make Blink almost believe his words.

"Heee? Defeat me? Do you think you can do that on your own?" Blink's utter confidence in his abilities was the only thing that prevented him from diving deep into despair.

He couldn't completely deny the fact that this man's words were not false but they were not entirely true either. The strength of these people is unknown and there are high chances that these powerless humans may have made necessary preparations to checkmate the gold realm masters but the empires champions are no pushovers either. Even if the others will die Blink was sure the three demon commanders will not be defeated so easily. Even though they are one of the newest gold realm masters of the empire, they are still considered one of the most powerful and dangerous. Not to talk of the sun cosmic spirit host and guardian knight, Kaido whose strength has been increasing too quickly recently.

Even if their foes are that formidable, there is no way they will be defeated so easily, not after what they have all gone through together in the past!
