Chapter 468 - 468: Lucien Raizen

"Who are you?" Blink asked with a straight face as he gazed at the youth with a lot of thoughts flooding into his mind.

Guessing purely based on the size of this youth, he could tell this kid was nowhere near sixteen of age. The wind wheels that pierced his wrist and almost chopped off his palm were beneath the kid's legs and this explained how he moved so fast. What he couldn't understand was why he could barely feel this youth's aura.

"Lucien Raizen! The man who will surpass the beast emperors! A human dare asks for my name… You've got balls" Lucien answered with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Hearing his reply, Blink couldn't help but recall the visions shown to him by his master, Derik. Unlike the white-haired spatial mage who was still on his knees, this kid played a major part in the struggle for the power source. He saw it all, the past, the present, and the possible future of their struggle. The annoying thing was that the vision wasn't clear so he wasn't sure if they succeed, all he could remember clearly was this kid taking part in the battle.

Pushing those thoughts aside, Blink began reviewing all that happened and found it a bit reasonable. Not only was his spatial magic suppressed in the spatial Zone created by the spatial mage, his movements felt sluggish as well and that explains why he could barely keep up with Lucien. He realized that he couldn't sense the Kid's aura, simply because the kid is too weak and was lacking mana! He could barely keep his spell running not to talk of battling him a man who has reached the peak grade of the silver realm and only a step away from the Gold realm!

At first, his facial expression was filled with surprise which then changed to disappointment and then anger!

"What the hell! Did I just retreat because of someone as weak as him?" Blink screamed in anger!

"What the hell are you talking about?" Lucien was a bit confused by the sudden change in attitude by his sudden change in attitude.

"At first, I was fl.u.s.tered when you attacked because I couldn't sense your presence… back then I felt you were stronger and that's why my movements were sloppy but just now I realized why… You are running out of mana and you can barely maintain that little spell of yours! Am I correct?" Blink said with a slight frown on his face but it seemed like he has calmed down already.

"… and now you know that so what? Do you think you can win against me?" Lucien's heart was pounding but he chose to push his fears aside and face the enemy bravely.

"You know, you are quite hardworking and brave… you remind me of myself a thousand years ago… I would have loved to let you leave here alive but I think it's best you die now…. You will be a major problem in the future if I don't put you down now! As a reward for answering my name, I will give you mine… They call me Blink!"

'Deal with the others while I deal with these two' Blink communicated with Clovis telepathically before making his move.

Saying this Blink charged forward with the death scythe raised above his head. With his superhuman physical capabilities, he was sure he would be able to match Lucien's speed but thanks to this zone his movements were slower than usual, giving Lucien the upper hand in terms of speed. The death scythe hit the ground but Lucien was nowhere to be seen.

'Not again!' Blink cried out in his head as he instinctively looked to the side but Lucien wasn't there.

'Shit!' He screamed in his mind as he felt the youth's feet connect with his face, letting out a loud bang sound but that wasn't enough to throw Blink off his feet.

Bam!

Successfully dodging the attack and sweeping his opponent off his feet, Lucien hurriedly threw his hands back as he swung his feet with all his might, planting a powerful kick on Blink's face even before his body reached the ground!

Bang!

"What the hell…" Clovis had just finished with the few mages left before he heard the sound. He was expecting to see Lucien lying on the floor dead but it was Blink instead.

All ten mages and warriors places under them took a step back in shock as they watched someone like Blink overwhelmed by the enemy. It was obvious that the spatial zone suppressing their strength played a major factor and since using spells within the zone consumes more than twice the amount of mana needed for the spell was more than enough to make anyone reluctant to cast a spell, even for Blink!

Puti!

Blink slowly got on his feet and wiped the blood trickling down his nose and also spat out some blood as well. While many may not have noticed Lucien did! Blink's blood was black and he too had a strong stench of death around him. Even now, Lucien was struggling hard not to puke his guts out since he had a feeling if he looked away for only a second, he will die. He knew something was off about this group trying to break into the empire but he couldn't tell what exactly. He remembered the comment the Blink made, revealing he had lived for thousands of years! Although it's hard to believe, Lucien couldn't help but link it to the stench of death around him and his black scythe! The man must have found a way to prolong his life.

"I would love to get this over with quickly… As you can see I lack the mana needed to maintain this spell for too long…" Lucien said as he slightly leaned forward and threw his hands back.

He was ready for a second round!
