Paragon of Death

177 Chapter 176: Battle of successors

“I am not someone you can handle easily” Blink remained on his feet while surrounded by numerous soldiers of various races.

His eyes were cold and detached while his voice remained unmoved even after everything that had happened. He soon realized that the blood mountain was never the target of this attack but him. In the beginning, he believed these people were after the blood mountain and planned to destroy it but even then they would need a huge army and all these sneaking around wouldn’t be necessary.

The only reason they would use this method with so few people was simply that they were after the most important person in the blood mountain who practices daily below the mountain.

Him!

“There is either a spy in the blood mountain or they have been observing me from a distance and Roselle couldn’t spot them. Either way, things are just getting interesting” Blink muttered with a deep frown.

“Don’t worry, the host of the death guardian spirit will not be able to return to the blood mountain. Once we deal with you, the true bloods will be chaotic and when the death of your master reaches them, there will be nothing left to defend this place. Both the true bloods and people living in the blood mountain will be purged. There will be nothing left” a youth said as he dismounted from his war steed.

He had bright red hair with a Mohawk hairstyle. His eyes were completely Gray and on the red robes which he wore was the G symbol belonging to the most powerful human family in the world

Seeing this Blink could only frown and say nothing. His hand flew out of sight, hiding within his sleeves while he held the silver daggers tightly.

Of the mixed forces present, this kid was the most dangerous but strangely, guessing from the size and looks of the kid he should be somewhere below twenty.

.....

“Gyro Kingdom... if you keep antagonizing my master, none of you will live long. It’s a matter of time before my master wipes you all out” Blink said with a cold look on his face.

“Your master won’t survive this journey... neither will you” The Youth from the royal family said with a cruel look on his face which made Blink shiver.

Of all the people he has come across in the past, none has made him feel as uncomfortable as this youth and he is not someone that can be intimidated easily.

“Hmph! A mere mortal dares dream of taking the life of the greatest? Deal with me first before making such bold claims!” Blink snorted disdainfully as his hand flickered out of his sleeves, moving at lightning fast speed while countless silver strings of energy spun across the space, shooting towards the youth hiding behind the army.

“Come out and face me!” Blink growled furiously as his attack raced forward.

He watched as the attack pierce through the countless people in its path, reducing them to chunks of meat while racing towards the main target but as soon as it reach the gyro Kingdom youth, it just vanished.

Impossible!

Blink gazed at the weapon in his hands wondering what happened. Did he miscalculate? Or was there something else he couldn’t see?

Nothing could stand in the path of his attack. Blink was sure that even if Damon was the one he was going against, Damon would be forced to dodge his attack or die regardless.

His power is absolute!

“Against the power of a true God, all forms of technique are useless,” the youth said with a cruel smile on his face.

“In the Gyro Kingdom, there are the two most interesting figures in the kingdom and no the son of heaven is not one of them. The first is Gerald, crowned prince and the next king of the Gyro Kingdom and the second is Dilian Gyro, guardian of the Gyro Kingdom and the host of the most powerful cosmic spirit. I am a force even the power of space cannot handle” Dilian said with a cold look on his face while an invisible aura exploded from his body.

Blink couldn’t see the aura but he could feel it. In an instant, he was stunned by the fact that his opponent was just at the peak warrior realm like him, an incredibly low cultivation base for someone of his age and status but his power made that of spirit realm masters look like child’s play.

“Surround the area, prepare to defend against the army of the dead. Your duty is to hold the line until I kill this little rat” Dilian said as he confidently strode towards Blink with his hands hidden within his sleeves.

Hmph!

Blink snorted disdainfully as he strode forward with his sleeves flapping fiercely. He could feel the overwhelming power of the enemy but he refused to retreat, especially since he carried the successor title of the death mage. This was no longer a fight between him and the invaders. Right now he was fighting Dilian as a representative of the blood mountain successor!

It was far more personal than before but deep down he was terrified. The Gyro Kingdom may be lacking in strength when compared to the other great kingdoms because of the limited strength of the human population but the sons of the son of heaven have proven time and time again that they are far more capable than the present king!

In fact, it was safe to say the two sons of the son of heaven are capable of starting a coup and taking the kingdom for themselves but they saw no need to do so since they already considered the kingdom theirs.

Only a fool would fight for what’s theirs.

They have both accepted the roles they are meant to play in this world. Unfortunately, even Blink understood the role he was meant to play in this world. That’s why he would never run from a foe.

“Cosmic spirit host? I don’t know what your powers are but my power is absolute. I advise you refrain from uttering more blasphemy in my presence” Blink snorted disdainfully before vanishing!

Xiu!

It felt like time had paused while Blink raced forward, slashing at the throat of the enemy, in an attempt to decapitate him in one swoop!

Peng!

Blink was blown back by an invisible force, causing him to retreat over two hundred meters before stopping. His hands shivered while bleeding badly just from a single attack.

“What the hell?” Blink growled as he watched his bleeding hands but even then he didn’t let go of the silver daggers in his hands.

“I control the power of gravity. A power nothing in this world can escape. You are no exception. Kneel!” Dilian said cruelly

Buzzz!

Blink felt like a great mountain fell on his back forcing him to his knees!

Blegh!

Blink spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were weak and blurry while he fell to his knees, unable to even resist.

“What the hell?” Blink muttered with a fierce look on his face as he watched Dilian approach with a calm look on his face as if he had already expected this outcome.

“As I said, my power is not something you can choose to go against. I am god!” Dilian said the moment he stood in front of the kneeling Blink. His hand’s stretched towards Blink’s neck but then Blink vanished!

Reappearing behind Dilian while striking at his back without hesitation!

Peng!

Blink was blown back but quickly exploded into a silver light, reappearing by Dilian’s side!

Peng!

Peng!

Peng!

Soon countless images of Blink could be seen everywhere around Dillian viciously striking at him without a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

‘He is adjusting to the power rod my repulsion. That’s why he doesn’t get blown away anymore” Dilian muttered with a cold look in his eyes as he quickly reached forward

Explode!

Boom!

A repulsive force erupted at all sides, blowing Blink away.

Xiu!

Just before Blink could hit the ground he vanished and reappeared above Dilian with fierce eyes while both daggers in his hands let out a bright silver light, splitting the world around Blink in two while slashing down!

“Impudent!” Dillian’s eyes narrowed as a fierce repulsive force exploded from his body, blowing Blink back into the air!

“Enough of this child’s play!” Dilian said in a cruel tone as he gripped the sky and Blink’s body stopped moving while still airborne.

He pulled down his hand and Blink shot down like a rocket, hitting the ground and creating a small crater.

Thud!

Thud!

Blink could only hear the sounds of footsteps but he couldn’t see a thing. His body felt extremely fatigued and his concentration was broken. He couldn’t teleport or do anything.

His consciousness faded as he heard the words of his enemy.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA! Maybe when I’m done killing you, I will go and take your master’s life” Dillian laughed cruelly.

Blasphemy!

Blasphemy!

That’s all Blink could hear.
