LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 116 Chapter 116: A Fierce Battle 1

The raging flames crashed into the wave of death aura, a thunderclap sound followed after and both sides were forced to retreat by a step.

It was a tie.

Derik eyebrows were knitted and his hands reached from the void, instantly a bone bow appeared in his hands and a bone quiver filled with bone arrows appeared by his side. Derik's eyes narrowed and he silently waited for Ahika and the other lizardmen to act first.

"We are members of the lizardman race, do you dare stand against us!" A lizardman from the rock lizard clan stepped forward and hissed. His scales were dirt brown and he was over 6ft tall and had a cultivation base of the low grade of the silver realm. His eyes were emerald green and his shoulders and knees had strange earth spikes protruding from it.

He was practically looking down on Derik!

"Step aside… give up this treasure hunt and I will spare your lives" Derik said indifferently as he kept walking towards the group of lizardmen calmly.

"Hahahahaha! Spare our lives? Where do you gain your confidence from? Do you really think you're my equal? Even if your guardian spirit can grant you the ability to fight foes above your level... Do you think you can handle all thirty of us? Those who came with you are scared silly and refuse to leave the forest… they are the smart ones, I think you should join them!" The lizardman from the rock lizard clan sneered at Derik.

Apparently, he wasn't afraid of Derik because of the others behind him. He refused to believe that Derik can defeat all thirty of them, especially when they have a guardian spirit host on their side as well.

"Yes… I can kill you if I choose to… you're not my opponent… as for taking down all thirty of you… Do you think I would be standing here if I doubted my abilities? Concerning those who came here with me… they will only get in my way don't pay too much attention to them" Derik let out a sinister grin as he spoke.

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! What force do you belong to?" The rock clan lizardman roared and the earth beneath his feet trembled.

"I belong to no one! Since you're the first to approach me… I will send the others a warning through your demise!" Derik sneered and used his free hand to grab the void.

"Death magic: Miniature accursed gate of the underworld!" He roared and pulled!

Right before everyone's eyes the empty air was torn apart revealing a human-sized portal leading to another dark dimension. Death aura poured out from the whole and spread forth like a plague, polluting the whole environment!

Within the darkness was a pair of crimson red eyes which stared on the lizardmen like preys and with a howl, two beams of red energy shot out of its eyes, das.h.i.+ng towards the rock clan lizardman in front.

"Killlllll!" Derik roared and grabbed an arrow from the bone quiver and began firing into the air

"Mid-level Bronze combat technique: Meteor shower!!!!' He roared

Over three hundred bone arrows flew into the sky and the clouds turned darkish purple.

...… Meanwhile....

The rock clan lizardman was terrified by what he saw and quickly retreated. He knew that the power of those red beams of energy was comparable to an attack from an expert at the peak grade of the silver realm so he didn't dare underestimate its power. He finally understood why Derik was so confident and cursed himself for being too blind.

Someone who has a cultivation base of the mid-grade of the bronze realm boldly approached them, a team with more than fifteen low-grade silver realm warriors and mages and over 12 peak grade bronze realm warriors and mages. He should have been terrified, cautious and anxious not bold and reckless. He looked back on how he acted and felt dumb, he shouldn't have acted so haughtily.

Low-level silver realm combat technique: Triple casting!

Earth magic: Rock armor!!

Earth magic: Rock dome!!!

Earth magic: Earth wall!!!!

The lizardman from the rock lizard clan roared and a threefold brown magic array formed around him. the earth beneath his feet instantly shattered and the debris gathered around his body, forming a thick, fitting armor made of rocks and stones.

Instantly, the earth moved and took the form a dome around the rock clan lizard man and a wall of earth erupted from the ground and stood like a thousand-year-old mountain in front of the rock dome.

He didn't hold anything back!

Boooooooooom!

Boooooooooom!!

Boooooooooom!!!

The lizardman's body was seen flying meters back and a b.l.o.o.d.y hole could be seen at the center of his chest. His brown scales seemed to have peeled off and his body was covered in blood.

"d.a.m.n you!!!' A lizardman from the sea lizard clan roared but they all noticed the impending danger too late.

While they were all focused on the miniature pa.s.sageway to the underworld which Derik created and the Shadow Lurker hiding and attacking from the other side, they failed to notice Derik activate his mid-level bronze realm archery combat technique: Meteor shower.

Before the sea clan lizard man who was at the peak of the bronze realm could reach the airborne the rock clan lizardman, he and the rock clan lizard man were struck down by over five bone arrows that rained down from above, and they died at the spot!

"Come here!" Derik roared and two souls shot into his body like a meteor and his power rose once again.

"s.h.i.+t!"

"c.r.a.p this kid is a monster! A demon!"

While this happened and lizardmen of different races tried to gather themselves and counter the fierce attack, the Shadow Lurker took the chance to attack them with his bloodthirsty red beams.

As no one in the team has reached the peak grade of the silver realm, they all struggled to counter and a lot of people died, feeding Derik with more souls and energy.

"Oooo lord of the underworld, keeper of the souls of the condemned and bringer of darkness, grant thy servant the swift movement of wind and the stealthiness of the shadow… Allow me to roam free in the ghastly form that I may become one with the darkness… Dark magic: Dark empowerment!" he roared as his body was instantly shrouded in a thick mist of death aura.

Within the cloud of thick black clouds, a pair of purple fiery eyes lit up and its chilling gaze fell on Ahika who remained unmoved from the very beginning. His scorching gaze seemed to be fixed on Derik and a scorching halo covered him, seemingly protecting him from the raining bone arrows.

"As expected, this lizard man has mastered the rage path! The anger gets the more powerful he becomes. As the battle prolongs so does his power increase. The only drawback is the user ends up falling into a bedevilment state where he or she will not be able to differentiate between friend and foe! He will end up destroying everything! This is the most suitable path for a man hosting the guardian spirit of the fire element… this host did not disappoint me one bit!" Demos laughed.

"So his path is similar to my negative emotions technique where I draw power from the negative emotions of all those around and if I consume too much, I will also fall into a bedevilment state and slaughter everything around?" Derik asked while hiding with the cloud of death aura.

"Yes!... but the only that the both of you draw power from two different sources… it's alright though… amongst all the elements, death and life have triumphed over the rest, this lizardman cannot win you unless something unexpected happens… do not let your guard down though… his source of power comes from his emotions while yours relies on the emotions of others which can be inconsistent… hopefully, you won't have to take off your limiters here!" Demos said casually.

"Yea … I know!" Derik said and his body with the mist trembled. Tiny dark b.a.l.l.s of energy that are invisible to the naked eyes escaped from the body of all the lizardmen who were running within the range of the meteor show technique and flew into Derik's body.

The mist made of death aura which hovered around Derik's body suddenly thickened and his powers skyrocketed. Strange and ancient letters appeared on his body and his expression turned sinister.

Rooooooooooaaaaaarrrrrr!

With a roar he burst out and dashed into the meteor shower zone not minding that he may be struck down by his own attacks, letting his instincts to completely take over!

"You dare!!!!' Ahika roared and grabbed the void and pulled it down.

The sky turned scorching red and the temperature rose at a rapid speed.

"Blazing fire magic: Rage of the G.o.d of destruction!" he roared and scorching red rocks poured down from the sky, falling upon both friends and foes.

His fiery red eyes flickered and the scorching red aura around him thickened.

"Only one of us will survive this encounter!" He roared and shot forward like a cannon.

"I agree!' Derik laughed hysterically!
