Chapter 470 - 470: Unexpected reuinon

Cough!

Cough!

Blink watched Lucien cough up two mouthfuls of blood while pressing the wound tight. He could feel a warm liquid flowing out of the back of his head, unknown to him, he was laying in a small pool of his blood.

"No... You didn't switch places with the dagger… you ran to it… who would have thought you would be faster than me even with my wind rider spell" Lucien muttered slowly as he analyzed the situation calmly.

"Hmph! That zone was the only thing keeping you alive… it's nice to know you are capable of analyzing the situation even in this condition… which shows how talented you are… I have to say, you would have gone far since you remind me of my master but it's unfortunate you have to die here, you will be a problem in the future!" Blink said as he pulled out the dagger from his belly and raised it high but this time he was aiming for his throat.

"Spatial magic: Zone! Swap!"

Lucien had already accepted his fate by shutting his eyes tight while waiting for death. It was at that moment that Instructor Han's words reached his ears and suddenly he found himself in spatial mage's arm.

"What the hell…" Blink muttered as he gazed at the white piece of kimono soaked in blood.

In just a short while he could guess that Silver-haired spatial mage tore off a piece of his cloth and used it to swap places with Lucien.

"Equal exchange! That's what it's called... This is something you will never grasp!" Instructor Han said with a vicious look on his face.

Gazing at him Blink could tell the man was enraged. He didn't expect to see a human protecting a beast-man so he was taken by surprise. He was about to speak but then he felt numerous powerful aura signatures heading towards them. He knew the reinforcement these people were speaking of was close. He considered continuing the battle while having Clovis and the other ten hold them off but Blink knew wasting more time and mana will only make it harder to leave when the time comes. His expression was filled with reluctance when he gave Clovis a deep stare before exhaling and finally speaking;

"A prolonged fight is not what we need... We will tire out!" Blink said to his comrades before turning his attention to the silver-haired spatial mage.

"Your magic is inferior!"

Upon saying this he clasped his hands together and forcefully opened a spatial gate within the spatial zone! This was a way of showcasing his overwhelming power!

"Saved by a human… shameful"

After sending away the successors to a foreign land, Derik left the empire in search of his godly essence. With the defenses and magic arrays set around the empire, Derik was quite confident that even the old gods would not be able to penetrate without getting hurt. He would have loved to postpone this search but he couldn't anymore. Ever since he absorbed a portion of the beyond's soul, Derik has been having visions of the past present, and future! It was a sign that this world had considered him a potential realm protector candidate.

Concerning his godly essence, after consuming a portion of the beyond's soul, Derik got a 'glimpse' of where his essence may be. Flying towards the center of the God vein, Derik wore a stern look since he wasn't fully in support of what he is about to do.

'In the past, flying was too dangerous because we had to deal with countless wind-based magic beasts like the winged clan… now anyone can just take to the skies without fear… life was fun back then' Derik said in his mind as he reached a familiar spot that changed his life.

Memories of Demos and Samael, the guardian spirits of life and death taking on three demigods here just to protect them flooded his mind, making him break a smile.

"You won't be away for too long my old friends… we will bring you all back and create the perfect world you all dreamed of, " Derik said while looking at the black whirlpool.

Bam!

Like a missile, Derik shot into the black whirlpool only to be greeted by darkness.

"MOVE!" He growled as the darkness fled from him the moment he shot out of the other side of the water.

Beneath him was a majestic world filled mad of gold. It was like a royal courtyard with a golden altar erected at the center of the room. Gazing in the direction of the temple were two figures, both of them were people he recognized perfectly.

"So this is where my treacherous sworn younger brother ran off too… it's been a while, Blake! I'm here to finish the job I assigned to Blink before I became a demigod" Derik's words were filled with so much venom and hatred that even the beyond shuddered in fear but Blake didn't look afraid.

"W-Why are you here! How did you know where to find me?" The Beyond was a lady in her early twenties.

She had a perfect hourglass shape and wore a tight purple gown which was considered unusual for people of this time. Her long, flowing purple hair and her perfect face was so enchanting that any normal man would fall in love almost instantly but Derik didn't bother to glance at her, his focus was fixed on Blake who was shrouded in darkness.

"You have come for your godly essence? Sorry but it's mine now, big brother Derik…. Right now, we are equals, you cannot kill me" A pair of darkish purple eyes opened within the cl.u.s.ter of darkness and gazed at Derik who was hovering above.

Hearing this Derik's face twisted in anger and his eyes lit up in power! He was finally here to avenge the death of Dimitri, Andrew, Philip, and Jean who once called this monster Brother!
