LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 277 Chapter 277: Young Prodigy 2

Even Gerald was stunned by Blink's appearance on the battlefield. He always kept a tab on recruits with great potential and Blink was one of the top ten on that list, seeing him on the battlefield terrified Gerald greatly, but he dared not rush in. He could only watch and wait like everyone else.

Xui!

Xui!!

Numerous ranged attacks in the form of arrows and spells of different nature soared into the skies, descending at their spot. These people were reluctant to let the five disciples of the death mage live! Even if they were holding on to a small strand of life, they were determined to snuff it out!

Xiu!

Xui!!

The dark mages surrounding Blink as per Kin's orders, they began casting their spells, weaving chunks of dark clouds together until and black dome surrounded them. This barrier was like a bottomless pit, greedily consuming all form of attack which dared to dive in.

Within the dark curtain was the bright silver light from illuminated the black dome. The spell was quite effective and invincible in Blink's eyes but he too knew that magic was not so kind as to give away such a top tier spell without any hitch. With just a glance he could tell the four dark mages casting the spell were losing manner at an alarming speed. He sincerely doubted that a single person would be able to perform such a spell, that explained why these four always moved as a group in battle but this did not bother him much. His proficiency in magic has increased increasing his cast speed, in the past, he needed a little over a minute to cast this spell but now he could complete the spell in mere seconds. Even now the final runes were taking their place in the magic circle and if nothing went wrong he should be able to finish the spell and leave this place before the four dark mages run out of mana.

But nothing ever goes as planned…

Blinks eyes turned black as the evil aura dwelling in him was restless due to the powerful light aura approaching at a very fast pace. Blink was not so naïve to think that black dome would be able to withstand the power of light, especially when it's a paladin wielding that power. He quickly muttered some inaudible words and threw his hands up creating a transparent barrier within the black dome. Even though he possessed a strong affinity to teleportation magic, that did not discourage him from learning a few sorcerer techniques like everyone else in the cla.s.s.

Swish!!!

Like a hot knife cutting through b.u.t.ter, Blink and the other four dark mages watched in horror as the golden sword cut through the black dome mercilessly, scratching the surface of the second barrier created by Blink.

Screech!

With the black dome destroyed, they could easily see the face of the a.s.sailant. It was a youth with similar golden hair and glowing golden eyes, on his right wrist was a wooden crucifix tied to it and he wore a black slim-fit coat with a black shirt within which carried a golden cross design on it. The youth quickly retracted his blade one more time and with a second strike, he shattered the second barrier.

"Do you think I will let my brother's sacrifice go in vain? I bare no ill intentions for you, child, leave here and let me kill those five for my brother's sake… You have a long way to go and a long life ahead of you… This battlefield is not where you should die" The youth placed his black broadsword on his shoulder for support as he confidently walked into the large silver magic array. 

His eyes were pinned on Blink who did not possess any form of dark magic and for that fact, he had no reason to kill the child, that's why he gave blink the chance to leave. As for the other four dark mages, everyone knew they would die shortly after Blink leaves.

"Cute…" A vicious grin bloomed on Blink's face and an evil aura erupted from his body, stunning the paladin.

Before the paladin could recover Blink had already waved his hand sending a wave silver aura, forcefully pushing the paladin over twenty meters away from the magic circle. At that point, the last symbol appeared and numerous silver rings appeared around them.

"You!!!!"

The paladin was enraged, griping his black broadsword with both hands while dashing towards the magic circle. His blade let out a golden glow which proceeded to spread to the other parts of his body.

Holy prayer: Accelerate!

His figure vanished and when he was two steps away from the formation a silver light appeared right in front of him and from it Blink emerged, slashing his black dagger at the paladin viciously.

"Get back!" Blink roared.

"WHAT?" The paladin to a step back and used his magic weapon to hastily block the attack.

Xiu!

The silver formation vanished at that moment with the four dark mages and the bodies of the five disciples. The paladin hurriedly rearranged his footwork as his body shifted to the side, while he slashed at Blink horizontally. In response, Blink quickly turned into a body of silver light and vanished before the golden blade could reach him. 

"Die!"

Reappearing above the paladin, Blink was falling head first with his black dagger pushed forward. His body began to spin while black aura kept pouring out of the blade and in the next second, he was like a black drill, descending on the youth covered in a golden aura.

BOOOM!!!

The paladin roared angrily as he swung his golden weapon at the black drill, creating a ma.s.sive shockwave that sent both sides flying in different directions.

Bang!

Blink crashed on the ground violently, coughing out a mouthful of blood. His vision blurred slightly but he could clearly see the glowing golden figure getting on his feet, so he hastily pulled himself up as well.

"Blink, leave the battleground now! You cannot defeat a paladin… You are too young" Kalos voice echoed in his head causing him a slight headache.

"What are you saying, master… I am the person who will become the next palace master… If I win this battle, won't that mean I am stronger than the five disciples of the palace master? This is a step which I must take alone!" Blink roared with determination flaring in his glowing silver eyes.
