LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 135 Chapter 135: An Epic End 5

"Why?"

"What is he doing?"

Everyone who saw Derik and Cyrus join hands against Ahika and Zaylee was stunned and scared. They knew the strength of the Life and death element when compared to the other elements with guardian spirits and they were not sure they can easily subdue both of them if they decided to join hands.

"This is my fight… No one should get involved!" Cyrus roared as golden patterns began appearing all over his body.

As his power level rose so did his glow increase and when he finally reached the peak grade of the silver realm, he was like a divine light sent down from the heavens to destroy all evil, only those with profound realms could see through this light while the others had to hide their face. But of course, he could not break into the gold realm, he finally understood why Derik couldn't reach the gold realm even with the a.s.sistance of the accursed gate of the underworld.

"The difference between the silver realm and the gold realm is really vast… now I understand why you could not make the final step even with the aid of the underworld" Cyrus said

"Yea… that's the peak realm for mortals… it's not a threshold that can be crossed so easily…" Derik nodded in agreement. Surprisingly he could see Cyrus clearly within the bright divine light.

"Do you think we will make it? Can we really enter that realm and become the peak existence in this world?" Cyrus asked seriously.

"Of course… We just entered the bronze realm a few months ago and look at us, doing what even our king cannot… I'm pretty sure I can walk into that kingdom right now and beat the c.r.a.p out of him and I am still 15… we hosts are the most powerful beings in this world, that's why the world has always joined hands to kill off the previous hosts… Let's just try to make sure that history does not repeat itself" Derik said calmly.

"Hahahahaha… what stops you from returning to the kingdom now? If you are so confident you can beat the king…" Cyrus chuckled

"Kalos, the spatial mage… Cosmic spirits are way more powerful than the guardian spirits… these are beings even the creator could not subdue… that man is more powerful than we think… I dare not look down on him… you should be wary of him when you return" Derik said with a bitter smile on his face.

"I see… well, if you do survive this… I wish you good luck and I await your return!" Cyrus said.

Guardian spirit divine sword; Split the heavens!

Instantly the sword let out a roar and shot towards Derik at a terrifying speed. It seemed as if it simply wanted to ram into Derik.

"Hahahaha! That won't do!" Derik laughed and his aura burst out.

Silver level secret combat technique: Werewolves roar!

His death aura quickly rose into the air, taking the form of a majestic werewolf with darkish purple fiery eyes and flaming purple fur. On its body were ancient symbols and this beast released an ancient aura, more terrifying than ever!

"Settle!" Derik roared and the death aura flowing out of the ma.s.sive gate poured out of his body and slowly poured into the body of the ma.s.sive werewolf.

Receiving the power of the death aura from the underworld, the werewolf avatar roared and increased in size. Its body trembled greatly after which it dashed forward and brandis.h.i.+ng its fiery claws at the ma.s.s divine sword.

Bam!

Bam!!

Bam!!!

The shockwaves from the collision between the two forces made the earth tremble and fissures to take place.

The ma.s.sive divine sword retreated and then dashed forward again attempting to split the werewolf in two but unfortunately, it wasn't so easy. The majestic werewolf was backed up by the power of the underworld so its strength was not inferior to that of the ma.s.sive divine sword in any way.

Using its fiery purple claws, it parried the ma.s.sive divine blades countless attacks and did not fall into a disadvantaged situation

"Ooo G.o.d of death, lord of the underworld and ruler of all d.a.m.ned souls in it, hear the plea of thy faithful servant and burn thy foe with the unquenchable flames of h.e.l.l, even thy ashes will not remain! Death magic: h.e.l.l flame!" Derik roared and a sea of darkish purple flames poured out of his mouth and dashed towards Life mage.

Seeing this a mocking smile bloomed on Cyrus' face and he sneered

"Childs play!"

Life magic: Heaven's gate!

Instantly a ma.s.sive gate the same size with that of the accursed gate of the underworld appeared. It stood gallantly as the ma.s.sive flames of h.e.l.l smashed into it.

Boom!

"Capture!" Cyrus roared after the see of flames had failed to shatter the gate.

Immediately several chains shot out of the golden gate and flew towards Derik from multiple angles, trying to block his possible escape routes. Remembering his experience with the heavens gate when he battled Samael for the first time, Derik shuddered and didn't dare look down on this ability

"Ooo power of death, grant thy servant power and lend thee thy strength… Give me the power to vanquish all those who stand against thee and by the end of this day, thy heads shall hang on the tip of thy spear! Death magic: Bone spear" Derik roared and dashed towards the ma.s.sive divine gate with malicious intentions.

With the bone spear in his hands, he deflected the chains that came at him and in just a blink of an eye, only 100 meters separated him and the ma.s.sive divine gate.

His fiery darkish purple eyes glowed brighter than ever as a magic array appeared at the tip of the bone spear and death aura burst out.

"Shoot!" Derik roared as he tossed the spear at the divine gate.

Boom!

Crack!!

Crack!!!

"Not yet huh? Shatter apart!" Derik roared when he saw the cracks on the surface of the gate

Silver level secret technique: Brilliant claw!

Terrifying death aura burst out of his claws and his charming smile revealed his fangs. Quickly, Derik brandished his claws at the ma.s.sive gate, releasing waves of numerous claw-like energy attacks.

Boom!

Boom!!

Boom!!!

Seeing the gate could collide at any moment, Cyrus' expression turned ugly.

"Don't you dare think that's all I've got!" Cyrus' snow-white eyes turned golden as he spoke.

"Lord of light, the giver of life… smite this heretic with thy divine power and destroy thy powers with your consuming light! Spread forth thy hands and show these unbelievers that salvation can only be obtained in your gracious light… Life magic: Divine light!" Cyrus roared and a blinding golden light burst out of his body, spread like wildfire.

Seeing this ability again, Derik's expression turned ugly as he watched his claw wave attacks vanish in the divine light. He finally understood why the previous death mages before him have always lost in a death match with the previous life mages. The life element was the natural weakness of the death element and this placed the death mages at a disadvantaged position whenever they fought. Unless the death mage possesses a terrifying amount of power when compared to the Life mage, he has no chance of winning.

Seeing the divine light spread like a plague, Derik tried to escape but he was not as fast as light! He could only pour all his death energy into creating a dark halo around his body to prevent the divine light from erasing him completely.

Puti!

Soon the divine light covered the werewolf avatar and the ma.s.sive divine sword. Within the bright light, only a small darkish purple light glowed fiercely for a while before vanis.h.i.+ng.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!" Derik's scream of pain echoed all over the moonlight forest

"Young Master!" The shadow lurker roared

The death avatar turned its attention towards the battle taking place above them. The truth is that these two loyal servants of the death mage could break free from the encirclement of the expedition troops belonging to the various kingdoms of this continent, but they didn't do this because they were told not to interfere by Derik. Unlike every other person, they have a clear understanding of Derik's strength, that's why they weren't bothered when Ahika, Zaylee, and Cyrus' combined attack hit Derik because they knew Derik was deliberately holding back. But now things are different, they could tell that Derik was actually in trouble but they didn't dare act without his orders.

Soon the bright light faded and a human covered in black blood struggled to stay afloat. His expression was grim and he looked tired.

"d.a.m.n… to think your divine power can easily erase my death power… this isn't fair" Derik laughed weakly. He turned his attention to the shadow lurker and the death avatar and a small smile appeared on his face.

"Its time to go…" He muttered weakly as he slowly flew into the accursed gate of the underworld.

The two servants of the death mage quickly burst through the encirclement, turning into a beam of light and flying to the gate.

Surprisingly, no one dared to go after them. They all saw how terrifying the short battle between Derik and Cyrus was and they knew none of them was a match for this death mage, even if Cyrus won they could tell that it took a lot out of the life mage… they were scared. They all subconsciously looked at Cyrus, hoping the life mage will stop Derik from escaping but the life mage didn't move a muscle, he just watched with an exhausted expression on his face.

"You won this time but when I return… things will end differently… This world will know the pain I feel today" Derik's voice resonated from the gate just a few seconds before it vanished completely.
