Chapter 389 - 389: Battle of the successors! (2)

"Did they just say, successors?" The beast-man chieftain from the bear clan took a step back in fear.

At first, he only thought Clovis and Blink were just mere disciples but now, hearing them boldly claim they are the successors of the two most powerful men in the world made him hesitate and retreat in fear!

Thinking back on everything that has happened so far, the chieftain of the bear clan finally understood why these two boldly flew into their settlement all alone, facing thousands of foes and still laughing in the face of danger. 

Is it that they were confident in their strength or probably trying to make a name for themselves while their masters are still around?

In his opinion, none of these mattered since these two were practically toying with the pride of their race and as a chieftain of a second rated clan in the settlement, he had no other choice but to defend their pride since he has taken the initiative to step out of the shadows.

"Forgive me for looking down on you earlier but this is where it all ends for you! The death mage and the life mage are in a critical stage of their breakthrough… I will end your lives here and now!" The bear clan chieftain roared and shot forward.

His massive build did not hinder his speed in any way, as he quickly reached Blink and threw a punch at the youth.

BANG!

"End our lives? You are not qualified!" Blink growled as he threw his fist at that of his opponent recklessly and upon collision a shockwave occurred, blowing both sides back. Leaving them with reddened fists.

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

"HE IS ABLE TO MATCH THE CHIEF IN STRENGTH?"

"MONSTER!"

Series of terrifying screams came from the side of the beast-men while those in the empire screamed in joy and elation. Members of the palace of the dead weren't really surprised because they were all aware of Derik's gift Blink. Since he couldn't teach the boy anything based on spatial magic, he could only use his death aura to refine and strengthen Blink's body. This was a gradual and painful process and after two weeks, Blink had reached his limit and at that point, he looked like a moving corpse. Pale as a sheet of paper with no signs of blood flowing in his body. Coupled with his white eyelash, hair, and blazing silver eyes, Blink became more terrifying than handsome and that's why he always makes use of a hood to hide his face. But with such a sacrifice, the physical capabilities he gained was just too tremendous, making him capable of matching almost everyone in strength.

"Life magic: Judgements spears!" Clovis roared as three golden spears appeared by his sides lunging towards the target.

Bang!

The bear clan chieftain chose to take the attack head on, using a single punch to shatter the three spears.

Puff!

Blood poured out of this neck as Blink teleported to his side and drove his dagger into his neck but leaving himself open in the process. A punch from the beast-man was enough to send him flying, meters away but this was enough to keep the beast-man distracted enough for Clovis to close the gap between them and drive his golden swords into the belly of the beast-man.

Bam!

Clasping its fists together, the beast-man struck at Clovis who used his angelic golden wings to block the attack. But even that couldn't stop him from flying close to a hundred meters away and landing roughly on the ground. 

In a short exchange, the true strength of the terrifying beast-man chieftain was revealed.

"Hehehehe! This won't be easy…" Blink was the first to stand, flexing his muscles while he took bold steps towards the beast-man.

"I need a minute… This is way beyond my expectations" Clovis said as blood rolled down his forehead, all the way to his lips.

"Sure, sure… don't die on me so easily!" Blink roared as he charged forward towards the beast-man fearlessly.

.................................…��.......................

"I think it's time we step in…." Kira said with furrowed eyebrows as he watched Blink exchange blows with the beast-man from the bear clan.

His problem wasn't that Blink would lose to this person, no. At this point, he had complete faith in Blink who is currently at the peak grade of the silver realm. In Kira's opinion, amongst the two successors, if there is one with enough strength to rival a gold realm master, it's Blink. The only thing that left him worried was the possibility of Blink sustaining some kind of fatal injury before the battle ends. It would kill the morale of their forces if their leader should be incapacitated in battle.

"Attack…" Kuen whispered but his silent words traveled through space and reached the ears of Dimitris and the other disciples of Derik.

Roar!

Suddenly a small mixed army of people dressed in gold and black, shooting towards the beast-man army came into view, taking the beast-men by surprise. Each and every one of them was at least at the low grade of the silver realm and even the weakest amongst them could be considered an elite in the beast-man forces.

Roar!

Even though they were quite inferior in terms of numbers, each member had enough strength to take on one or two beast-men comfortably. Dimitris shot into the battlefield with numerous undead puppets following behind tightly, causing havoc as they moved while the moment Andrew reached the battlefield, darkness spread across the land and only screams of his victims could be heard. 

The very moment both sides clashed, the outcome of the battle was decided!

The army of the empire murdered their enemies in hundreds and those who lost their lives in the battle were instantly brought back to life as undead puppets by the necromancers in Derik's sect. In this situation, the size of the empire kept increasing and never reduced! The tide of battle was in their favor until…
