Chapter 575 Ironwood Assassination.

575 Ironwood Assassination.

BOOM!

Out of nowhere, an explosion rocked the entire city of Ironwood, causing everyone to look outside, only to see a large mushroom cloud that rose above the city walls.

"That came from the direction of the Karius families' mine." A member of the Ulrik family immediately reported the situation to the family head.

"What or who is behind the explosion?" The Family head asked as he and his brother watched the mushroom cloud through the carriage window.

"We are yet to receive information on that, sir."

After some thinking, the family head pressed the communication button and spoke to the carriage driver. "Turn the Carriage around and return to the mansion."

"Yes sir!" The driver did as instructed without questioning.

"My gut feeling is telling me that the explosion isn't all to it." The head of the Ulrik family said.

"Same here." His brother replied without delving deep into the matter.

Just as the carriage was about to make its way into the Ulrik estate, a gigantic fireball materialized out of thin air and crashed into the front side of the carriage.

The shields of the high-quality carriage activated just in time to save everyone including the driver, but the downward force of the ball and the forward motion of the horses and carriage caused it to tumble and crash on its head.

BOOM!

Almost instantly, the carriage section exploded and the Head of the Ulrik family as well as his brother flew out.

"Who are you, and are you the one behind the explosion?" The family head asked.

"You guys talk too much." Blake said as he activated his domain which engulfed them.

With 2 of the Ulrik members having awakened the earth element as their primary element, the area in the domain was rocky and mountainous. The 2nd element of the family head was the Wind element, and since it had attained godhood, it manifested as strong wild winds in the domain.

The Ulriks were wondering what hard drugs a Nascent demigod must be on, to attack an Angel and a peak demigod. However, their smirks turned to serious expressions as they noticed the abnormalities in the domain.

Not only was the sky black, but the space around them felt extremely active and lightning arcs danced all over the sky nonstop.

"You are Blake Wilson, the rogue Ash Corp." The Family head was surprised.

Just like many other people, they had received the news of multiple members of the League of Assassins simultaneously attacking different cities in the East.

They had come to learn that Blake was the main reason for the entire operation. This made them wonder what was so special about him, until they heard he had gotten the All-Father's inheritance.

One thing both of them didn't understand was the source of darkness in the domain.

"So?..." Blake asked with an indifferent look on his face as he released Ebony and Ivory.

Awoo!

Ebony and Ivory howled before dashing toward the Family head, while Blake turned toward his brother.

Having read Blake's profile, the family head's brother knew about Blake's high-attacking prowess, but little to no defensive capabilities apart from his wolves.

Now that his wolves were gone, this was the perfect opportunity to take him out!

Having awakened the Earth and fire element, he used flamebursts to shoot forward. However, as he was approaching Blake, 16 darkness tendrils appeared from behind him.

Immediately, the family head's brother was forced to stop in his tracks as he was confused and felt an uncomfortable feeling of danger from Blake.

The reason Blake dared to take on both the Family head and his brother was because his domain increased his control of the darkness element. So even as his normal control of the darkness element was at the champion realm, it was now boosted to the Hero realm.

'How can he have four elements? Not any other element, but the darkness element?! ' He was so confused that he almost doubted his eyes.

'It's impossible! It's impossible!' The family head's brother continuously said to himself as he was looking for an explanation.

'The only explanation is an artifact, but I still have to be careful.' He thought as he was about to continue his attack, but that was when Blake spoke up.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk... Indecision in the middle of the battle." Seeing that Ebony and Ivory had completed the task of moving the family head away from his brother, Blake activated speed domain.

A dome of electricity spanning 200 meters appeared above their heads, and instantly a portion of his speed was drained and absorbed by Blake.

'Shit! I need to leave here.' Without thinking the Ulrik descendant turned in the opposite direction.

The battle between Terraforians and speedsters has been fought for ages now. It was always a draw because even if the speedster was to drain the entirety of the Terraforian's speed, he wouldn't be able to bypass the defences of one focused on defending.

In this case, Blake had the space, fire, and darkness element to aid his attack. So, The Ulrik descendant knew he would be reduced to a sitting duck.

"A moment ago, you were so eager to get your hands on me. What changed now? " Blake chuckled as he activated Darkness domain.

Instantly, the light emitted by the lightning domain was gone, sending everything within into absolute darkness.

'Fuck!' The Ulrik descendant cursed as he activated Earth guardian as well as his defence artefact that enveloped him in a yellow barrier.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Almost instantly, 16 darkness tendrils struck at him hundreds of times within a second. However, the yellow dome didn't seem to take any noticeable damage.

'Where did they come from?' The Ulrik descendant couldn't help but ask because he could still see Blake and the tendrils in front of him.

'An illusion to mask the spatial corridors and the movement of the dark tendrils.' He soon understood what was going on.

'I need to get on the offense, the guardian's heart is being depleted with every hit.' The Ulrik descendant said as he took out a katana with orange inscriptions on its blade.

"Emberforge hear my call!"
