Chapter 396 - 396: End of an era (1)

"NO!" Kuen growled but no matter how much he tried he couldn't break away from his opponent.

The other demon commanders watched in silence as Blink remained on his knees, with his breathing extremely heavy while gazing at Blake with an expressionless look on his face.

"And now this is done… what next… what do you intend to do after this… do you think the palace of the dead will accept you after this? Do you think the empire will welcome you back after this? What do you stand to gain from all of this?" Blink struggled to speak and breathe at the same time.

"Well… for starters I was never one of you… I was tortured and experimented on by humans! And then the palace master found me… he gave me a home… he called me family… a reason to live… I was ready to die defending this empire but then he betrayed my trust and abandoned me… He gave out his inheritance to a stranger! A total nobody who didn't even possess any form of dark magic! That was unacceptable!" Blake growled but Blink remained calm.

"And for that reason, you chose to drag the entire empire into this revenge scheme of yours? What happens to the innocent families who will be left defenseless because of your actions? What will happen to them, who will protect them?" Blink asked slowly.

"It's unfortunate they were dragged into this…" Blake hissed.

"And the other members of the palace of the dead? The people who treated you with respect… the people who stood up for you when the palace master declared me the new successor… they are all here, desperately battling for their lives… fighting to survive… what do you have to say about them?" Blink growled in anger.

"People die… it's very unfortunate they had to die… I really do appreciate each and every one of them" Blake hesitated for a while before responding.

"And what about your family… those who were tortured and used for experiments just like you… they too were treated unjustly by this world, by we humans… these people called you brother from the very start and even till the battle began… if for no other reason, for the sake of your bond with them… they are the only true family you have… but now they are also struggling to survive in this cruel battle… swarmed by enemies from all sides… what do you have to say about all of them? what happens to them now?" Blink slowly rose on his feet as he said those words.

There was silence. Blake gazed across the battlefield as if he were looking for something. Images of Andrew, Jean, Philips, and Dimitris popped up in his mind and for the first time since he started this, he felt pain. He tried to locate their location by sensing their aura but he couldn't, there are too many people on this battlefield, so he couldn't really find their own aura signature.

They could be dead

They could still be alive

This is war!

He may never know

"It's very unfortunate that they were dragged into this as well…" Blake finally replied with his eyes shut tight.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="/book/legendary-guardian_14507836505582505/chapter-396-end-of-an-era-(1)_51019521993001879">/book/legendary-guardian_14507836505582505/chapter-396-end-of-an-era-(1)_51019521993001879</a> for visiting.

"Then what now… what happens when you are done… when everyone that cares about you is dead… what do you plan to do next" Blink asked slowly.

"I will return to the empire and rule… I'll enter a peace treaty with the other invading race… there will be peace after you all are gone… so you have no reason to worry" Blake replied immediately.

"And what happens when the empire rejects you and the people revolt against you?" Blink asked with a slight frown.

"Then I will destroy it… I will kill everyone that stands in my way!" Blake growled.

"and if everyone in the empire rejects you?" Blink asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Then I will kill everyone and burn the empire to the ground!" Blake replied.

Hearing this, Blink's eyes flared up with silver aura as he quickly placed his hand on Blake's chest and six silver seals appeared on all parts of Blake's body.

"In that case, As the successor of the palace master, I must not let you live any longer than you have already done!"

Warping seals; activate!

Upon activating the seals, Blake's limbs and head were instantly teleported away from the main body all the way to different parts of the continent! His limbless and headless body fell to the ground as blood flowed out of all the holes, quickly creating a small puddle of blood.

To be able to place the warping seals, Blink needed to make physical contact with Blake just long enough to create the seals and position each and every one of them. He had already decided to kill Blake from the very beginning, he just asked those questions to buy some time.

Staggering back, he could feel his vision fading and his strength leaving him. The only person capable of healing his injuries was still unconscious and the green barrier kept preventing their reinforcements from entering the battlefield. The war wasn't in their favor and they were going to lose sooner or later.

"I guess this is where it ends for me? Hehehe! But before I go, I'll make sure we don't lose this war… that's the least I can do, for my master and for the empire!" Blink growled as a pillar of Silver aura fell upon him and a massive teleportation magic array appeared above the whole battlefield. 

A similar teleportation magic array appeared at the empire and at a remote part of the empire, a part forgotten by everyone.

"This is the time for you to repay my master's kindness!" Blink's voice echoed through the teleportation arrays.

ROAR!

The battle going on had just stopped the moment the loud roars echoed all across the continent. Both the empire's forces, the beast-men, and the orcs froze in fear as they watched four terrifying magic beasts appear through the portal.

"The four ancient elemental dragons!" Kira gasped in shock and fear!

Behind them was an army of magic beasts of different kinds charging towards the orcs and the beast-men. From the same teleportation array, the main forces of the empire appeared with all its gold realm masters.
