LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 191 Chapter 191: Chaotic Era

In just a day a small team of peak bronze realm warriors and mages were dispatched and they laid an ambush for magic beasts. At first, they used guerrilla tactics to cut down the numbers of these beats but to their greatest surprise, these beasts adapted pretty quick and soon began moving in larger groups while setting up ambush points at sensitive locations around Gyro borders.

In just a week the magic beasts lost over five thousand magic beasts around levels 1-15, while the gyro kingdom lost close to five hundred bronze realm warriors and mages. In the eyes of normal people, they had the advantage but in reality, they were in a very bad situation. Considering the numbers of these magic beats, killing just five thousand of them was as good as taking a handful of sand from a desert! Their numbers were just too terrifying, while the death of the bronze realm warriors and mages was considered a major blow to the forces of Gyro, and Gerald was forced to withdraw all his forces and hide behind the walls once again.

As time pa.s.sed by, small skirmishes between the forces of Gyro and the magic beasts residing at its borders raged on. At this point, they realized that the intelligence of these beasts has risen by a level or at least, someone or something really smart was controlling them.

A month later, the palaces of life and death dispatched their forces to eradicate all the monsters within 10 kilometers of the borders. Soon two groups arrived atop the mighty walls of Gyro, looking down on the mult.i.tude of creatures ramming into the barrier ruthlessly. This was Kira's first time at the walls after the war broke out, he was dressed in a sleeveless red and black robe and his eyes were completely bloodshot, glowing within the red hood placed over his head. He and the one thousand, five hundred special units of the palace of the dead, looked utterly terrifying and their collective aura was diabolic. There were traces of Derik's death magic lingering over them, who would have thought the death magic had the ability to strengthen evil beings of the same origin, didn't that make Derik the leader of all things evil?

If such a secret is let out, numerous mages and warriors wielding some sort of evil magic or power will pledge allegiance to him without thinking twice.

The divine court knights of the palace of Life standing a few hundred meters away from Kira and his group were not inferior to Kira's forces in any way. Agus the paladin of life palace was dressed in a stunning golden armor with a mighty golden broadsword hanging on his back while his face was covered with a white hood. His eyes revealed a golden glow as he stared at the monsters below with an indifferent look on his face. This person is the most talented disciple under Cyrus and is rumored to be his right-hand man, with the cultivation base of the mid-grade of the silver realm, he could rival Kira in power, some even a.s.sumed he would win if both sides clashed. Behind him were forces of the life palace who possessed intense divine aura which rivaled the aura of Kira's forces. It was obvious to Cyrus life aura had a similar effect on these people just like Derik's death aura.

"We will be going first then…" Kira said after staring at the other team with a neutral expression.

He lifted his hands and pointed towards the clouds and a red whirlpool formed above his head, the blood-red liquid kept gathering and gathering until it completely covered the clouds above, becoming a sea of blood. The monsters attacking the barrier lifted their heads and quickly spotted the sea of blood. Their senses towards danger have always been more accurate when compared to humans, so they quickly fled the scene. Thousands of monsters, lingering around the bothers of Gyro fled hastily, unfortunately for them Kira's orders were to kill not scare. The sea of blood descended on them, crus.h.i.+ng the weak amongst them while the stronger ones were left with serious injuries. With this, the special unit of the palace of the dead, filled with supernatural monsters of various let out roars that shook the clouds ad they jumped of the walls to meet their foes head-on.

While this happened, the forces of the life palace were done with their preparations, and all their combat units were gifted with golden angelic wings. They soared into the sky under Agus' lead and stormed towards the sea of magic beasts fearlessly.

With this, a battle broke out at the borders of the kingdom and the screams of pain and agony filled the kingdom!

............….

Kira stood fearlessly at the center of the chaos and performed a strange dance, controlling the sea of blood swirling around him skillfully, consuming all magic beasts that dared to get closer. His blood-red eyes let out a terrifying glow and he quickly s.h.i.+fted his gaze to a group of level thirty blazing lions. Their crimson red eyes let out a glow and they soon surrounded Kira, keeping a safe distance away from the blood sea.

Roar!

Earth shaking roars shook the forest as torrents of flames shot towards Kira's unshakable defense.

Bam!

Bam!!

Bam!!!

The red sea shook and red vapors rose from it continually. Level 35 magic beasts should only be as strong as peak bronze level warriors and mages, how come they were close to dealing such heavy damage on his defense?

"Interesting!" Kira roared as he stopped dancing and struck the earth with a clenched fist and over thirty blood whirlpools formed beneath the feet of those magic beasts striking against his defenses.

"Rise up! Shatter apart!" Kira roared as he watched these people get launched into the air.

Using mere hand gestured, he skillfully controlled the sea of blood around him, to bombard the airborne foes and crush them till they become blood paste.

"Blood magic: Blood moon!" Kira roared as the sea of blood hovering over his head gathered and took the shape of a moon with all the creatures trapped within.

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!

Suddenly a terrifying energy surge appeared from nowhere and danced towards Kira at mind-blowing speed. Since Kira was focused on perfecting his blood moon, he barely reacted on time. Only catching a glimpse of the terrifying blew lightning claw before it struck his chest!

His body was shot over 400 meters away by the sheer power of the attack and his complexion was terribly pale. On his chest was a scorched hole and his eyes twitched slightly as his life began to fade away slowly!

With the defeat of the blood mage who single-handedly soloed over a hundred magic beasts of various levels, the forces of the two palaces fell into a disadvantaged position. No one could tell exactly where the sneak attack came from and they could not pinpoint the location of the beast responsible, so they could only fight with their guards held up. As such their attentions were divided and a good number of them paid the price for their carelessness with their lives.

At this point, both forces which stormed forward confidently just a few minutes ago were forced to retreat shamefully. These people were well trained in combat, so they didn't run helther-skelter as normal warriors and mages would. They kept aside their differences in elements and cooperated to minimize the casualties on their sides as they retreated towards the walls.

"This…" Agus stood gallantly in mid-air as he watched their forces retreat with a complex emotion in his glowing golden eyes, totally ignoring the airborne swarm of magic beasts heading towards him

He could tell that a high-level magic beast was hiding within the swarms of magic beasts. He couldn't explain how these beasts began thinking and planning ahead. He had heard of this, but this was the first time he's seeing this happen.

"At this rate, their escape routes will be cut off before they reach the gates…. I'll create a path!"Agus roared as he swung his broadsword at the airborne creatures heading his way and a beam of golden light completely devoured them!

Agus didn't waste any more time on this and he quickly dived down like a spear and crashed into the swam of magic beasts, creating a golden shockwave that blew away all the magic beasts five hundred meters around them.

"Silver level combat technique: Paladin's prayer: Thrust!" Agus roared as he pushed his blade forward and shot towards the horde of monsters like a missile, decimating them and shattering their formations. With a single move, Agus had murdered over a hundred monsters.

His eyes scanned the battlefield, waiting for the high-level magic beast to make its move. Just like he expected, it didn't make its move but he wasn't bothered, he had already drawn away the attention of these beasts from the retreating forces, all he had to do now is escape the encirclement while killing as many monsters as he could.

"You won't show yourself? I'll be taking my leave then… I'll be killing a few hundred beasts along the way" Agus said with a devious grin on his face.

Four pairs of angelic golden wings appeared on his back as golden energy gathered around his magic broadsword which was raised above his head.

"Paladin path: Purging strike!" Agus roared with glowing golden eyes.

His sword was raised high into the air and his body began ascending into the air slowly. The golden light surrounding his blade kept increasing and when it had reached its peak, Agus let out a terrifying roar and was about to strike down on the cl.u.s.ter of monsters.

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

The same sound appeared again but this time Agus was vigilant. He quickly turned towards the direction where the buzzing sound was resonating from and right in front of his eyes a lightening claw the size of a full-grown man was surging forward. The aura of this attack was beyond what he had expected, now he understood why Kira was defeated by this move!

"This… this is beyond the silver realm!" Agus screamed with an ugly expression on his face but that didn't stop him from striking forward with his enchanted blade.

Booooom!

Agus' body was sent flying like a cannonball, crossing over four hundred meters before it hit the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his body was too numb to move due to the lightning effect. A terrifying hole was seen on his golden armor and a b.l.o.o.d.y wound appeared on his chest. Some of the retreating troops rushed over and pulled him over to their side.

With this, the two peerless experts of the individual palaces were defeated and the goal to wipe out the monsters around the kingdom borders failed, over a thousand people in total ended up dead in this operation and the rest wounded.

This was a total loss. They finally realized why the various races of the continent have been hiding behind walls since the beginning! It was literarily impossible for people at the silver level to defeat these monsters alone, especially since the ancient beasts have joined the struggle.

"L… lightning tyrant…" Agus muttered weakly with a pale face. The glow in his eyes had already vanished revealing his golden pupils. He looked like he was on his last breath and just any normal attack can end his life now.
