LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 174 Chapter 174: Shattering The Barrier

With a roar, Derik turned into a ma.s.s of darkish purple aura as he stormed forward viciously with his death avatar by his side. His eyes revealed his pure, untainted disdain as he raised his hand and black clouds began gathering above the church!

"Death magic: Darkness lightning descent" Derik roared and a deadly darkish purple light flashed in his eyes. He and his death avatar swiftly reached for the void and instantly pulled down!

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

Numerous bolts of purple lightning rained down on the golden barrier but it seemed as if no damage was been dealt. Instead, the web-like cracks on the barriers kept regeneration at a slow but steady pace…

This annoyed Derik!

He always knew his offensive capabilities were not the best but it doesn't really make him weak. Feeling the combined a.s.sault on the barrier was not working, he let out a roar and shot forward with malicious intentions visible in his cold eyes

"You can stand my lightning? Let's see how you handle this!" Derik at this moment was like a monster who is h.e.l.lbent on eliminating his enemy. He muttered some strange words under his breath and the death scythe appeared in his hands.

"Fill!" Derik screamed as a large portion of death aura surrounding him slowly converged and began entering the death scythe in his hands. In response, the death scythe let out a soul-chilling screech and began vibrating intensely

In just a few seconds, Derik had crossed over a thousand meters, reaching the barrier surrounding the cathedral at a stunning speed. At this point, his hand trembled greatly but his grip remained firm as the death scythe shook violently after receiving a large portion of Derik's power. Everyone present could tell how much effort Derik put in this attack and could only pray it deals some damage!

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! THE HOLY CHURCH IS MEANT TO VANQUISH ALL FORM OF EVIL IN THIS WORLD, YET IT HIDES BEHIND A c.r.a.pPY BARRIER WHEN CONFRONTED BY DEATH! WHAT A FARCE!" Derik was ruthless with his words and didn't spare any efforts in cursing the holy church viciously!

The death scythe in his hands suddenly let out another ear-piercing screech as the ma.s.sive amount of death aura stored in it poured out and quickly formed a thin but thick layer of death energy around the magic weapon.

Meanwhile, the death avatar remained behind and maintained the darkness lightning descent magic. Even though the power of the lightning had greatly reduced after Derik left, all the descending bolts of lightning were focused on a particular spot on the barrier, the spot where the web-like crack appeared!

Even though this move did not deal any visible damage, it did reduce the speed at which the barrier regenerated, giving Derik enough time to act before it has fully recovered.

"Death magic: Consecutive purgatory slash a.s.sault…ALPHA!" Derik roared like a beast and quickly appeared around the spot with the visible crack, instantly brandis.h.i.+ng his death scythe on it, thereby releasing shocking waves of death aura and shockwaves after each hit lands.

Crack!

Crack!!

At this time, the damaged part of the barrier stopped regenerating and a few more cracks appeared after Derik had delivered close to another thirty hits. He bit his lips in frustration and he quickly continued to attack the barrier while staying a safe distance from the darkish purple lightning.

Swooooooooshhhhh!

A beam of golden divine light, resembling a spear shot through the skies, heading towards the ma.s.sive golden barrier. Cyrus snow-white eyes instantly turned golden and his body radiated divine light as he crossed hundreds of meters in just a blink of an eye.

"Guardian weapon path: Divine broadsword!" Cyrus roared as the void above him forcibly tore open and a ma.s.sive divine broadsword appeared. This sword was over ten meters long and five meters wide, on its body were different ancient golden symbols while a dazzling green spiritual orb could be seen on the hilt of the broadsword!

"SHATTER THE SKIES!! SPLIT THE HEAVENS!!!" Cyrus no longer intended to allow Derik to act alone and instantly gathered his energy while he roared.

The already ma.s.sive divine broadsword above his head released a faint golden glow and instantly doubled in size and power. It trembled greatly for a while after which it vanished, appearing above the dark clouds created by Derik's death avatar's darkness lightning descent, it dropped like a ma.s.sive boulder pushed into an ocean. Its movement while it dropped was neither fast or slow but the pressure coming from the ma.s.sive divine weapon kept growing and when it hit the already damaged spot of the golden barrier protecting the cathedral, the skies shook and trembled due to the shockwave caused by the impact thereby leaving everyone stunned.

[These two are too strong for their age!] everyone exclaimed in their mind.

They all witnessed the battle between Derik and Cyrus, back then they thought that both sides fought each other fiercely with killing intentions but now they have witnessed they fighting against a common enemy, these people realized that both sides hid a lot of power in that battle, in hopes of not delivering a fatal injury to the other.

Knowing there were people this young capable of wielding this much power, everyone was naturally stunned

"What are we waiting for? Let's give them a hand… that's why we are here!" Gerald was the first to snap out his daze and stormed forward!

The temperature suddenly rose drastically and his eyes released a yellow flash while steam escaped his nostrils and mouth as he moved.

Roar!!!!

"Dragon flame magic: Ancient flame dragon!" Gerald roared and a ma.s.sive amount of orange aura burst out of his body. Slowly taking the form of an ancient winged dragon which has only been heard of in myths and legends

The others didn't stay idle for long either as the quickly chased after Gerlad while gathering their power, waiting to release their full strength!

....................

Every other person remained cl.u.s.tered at the royal palace as they feared they would be killed easily if they move an inch from their current position. They saw the ma.s.sive beam of divine golden light and they were startled by the power of the attack. To be honest, even though they were hundreds of kilometers away from the cathedral, they felt like a mountain was dropped on them and this made them wonder what Derik and the others at the frontline felt when attacked by something so lethal and powerful! Even now they could feel the shockwaves of each attack coming from the direction of the cathedral and they instantly knew the real battle has begun!

"We can't let them go at this alone… if the elder prince Gerald and the death mage feel that the holy church should be uprooted from the Gyro kingdom, then we must support this decision…. Let's head out and provide them with as much support as we can!" The commander of the military forces of Gyro, Creed roared and shot towards the direction of the cathedral!

Hearing his words, the top tier experts like the miracle team of the adventurers a.s.sociation also voiced out their agreement with creeds words, chasing after the commander. Soon the combined forces of the Gyro kingdom military force and the adventurers a.s.sociation stormed towards the cathedral, leaving behind some trustworthy men to watch over the n.o.bles of the kingdom whom Derik and Gerald found guilty of numerous crimes.

The members of the royal guard only watched things unfold with dark expressions. They knew they had fallen out with Derik who is soon to become an important figure in the Gyro kingdom and they completely regretted their decision.

If only they stood by Derik's side, they may have to face more hards.h.i.+p with him for a few years before triumphantly returning, may be stronger than they are now. But that didn't happen!

Using their families as an excuse to conceal their desires for the numerous precious cultivation materials former King Robert provided them with, they publicly exposed his secret and even went as far as to join hands with the people sent to murder him.

This is not a mistake that can be fixed!

This is not something Derik can overlook and they understood the way he felt!

Even his family was not spared this fate, he was even willing to kill them off just to murder the former king and his daughter! If the reincarnated Kalos did not step in, four dead bodies would have been pilled at the entrance Royal palace.

"d.a.m.n it… I don't care what he thinks about us… we are citizens of Gyro as well… we will do what's best for the kingdom!" Donald roared and instantly turned into a beam of light, flying towards the cathedral.

The others simply nodded in approval and chased after Donald as well, leaving John and Linda Angus who both wore sad expressions on their faces as they stared at the direction Derik has gone off to. They knew if the undead spatial mage did not act right on time, Derik would have killed them, along with the former king and his daughter. Even after the death of the former king and his daughter, Derik did not even spare them a glance and quickly headed off to his next target.

No one needed to tell them that Derik has not forgiven them for the mistake they committed in the past. They could only sit there quietly with the other n.o.bles and wait for the situation to be resolved first.

..............

"Dragon flame: Ancient fire dragon claw!"

"Silver level secret combat technique: Brilliant claw"

"Silver level combat technique: Meteorite shot!"

"Lightning magic: Typhoon!"

"Wind magic: Hurricane!"

"Divine crucifix: Divine ray!"

Mason roared as he fired a normal-looking arrow at the barrier but in just a few seconds the arrow was shrouded in a ma.s.sive green aura and it quickly rose to a level where it actually looked like a comet descending upon the barrier. The s.p.a.ce around them shook violently but this didn't make Derik, Cyrus, and the others retreat. Instead, they attacked even more ferociously and the cracks had slowly spread to twenty percent of the whole barrier.

This may look like they were making progress but the truth remains that they have utilized so much energy just to cost this little damage. It's not something they found exciting, it was clear that they may run out of energy even before the successfully destroy this barrier, and even if they manage to destroy the barrier they will most likely be too exhausted to resist the strength of the holy church experts!

This continued for another five minutes and it became obvious that Derik and the crew were running out of energy. At this point, even Derik had the urge to turn around and leave due to frustration! They all started with powerful attacks, coupled with the damage the barrier had already sustained at the hands of Kalos reducing the power of the barrier by twenty percent. During this five long minutes, the power of their attacks reduced greatly as well as their attack rate, with that they could only deal another ten percent damage to the barrier, making it thirty percent in total, but their mana pool had already gone below half and their faces were turning pale by the second!

"We can't continue like this…." Kuen said to Kalos while biting his lower lips in anger.

Even though he and Kalos possessed the power of the cosmic spirits of gravity and s.p.a.ce, they lacked pure offensive spells that could help them in a situation like this. Using their magic weapons, on the other hand, was not really advisable as it consumed mana at a faster rate when compared to normal spells. Kuen felt useless and didn't bother interfering with Derik's work, only observing with a bitter expression on his face.

"Patience is a virtue… These people have done enough… its time for Gyro to lend us a hand" Kalos said casually with an expression that made it look as if he was peeping into the future.

Before Kuen could enquire about the meaning of his words he heard a roar.

No! not one… a lot

A mob?

A crowd?

Not really, it was Gyro

With over fifty silver realm elites flying in mid-air while tens of thousands of bronze realm warriors and mages storming forward viciously on foot. Not too far behind was an angry mob carrying all sorts of weapons they could find marching towards the cathedral as well.

"This is Gyro taking its first step forward" Kalos said with a joyful expression on his face.

He didn't wait for Kuen to speak and he quickly waved his hands and roared as numerous silver stars shot out of his n.o.body, taking a rectangular form right in front of him and Kuen.

The s.p.a.ce between the rectangle forcibly tore apart, show an unknown dimension that only Kalos and the cosmic spirit of s.p.a.ce is familiar with. The ma.s.sive gate was over ten meters tall and ten meters wide, forcibly shattering buildings while it formed just to make way for it to form!

With this done, Kalos felt a bit light-headed, knowing how a spatial technique of this level is not something he could use when he was alive. He had to admit that becoming an undead definitely has its perks, not only did he draw power directly from the underworld thereby granting him infinite manner, he also possessed an undying body. Now he could fearlessly cast large scale spatial spells he normally feared to use back then when he was still alive.

"GREAT PEOPLE OF GYRO, THE MOMENT THAT BARRIER FALLS, THE HOLY CHURCH WILL EQUALLY FALL… HURL YOUR MOST POWERFUL ATTACKS INTO MY DIMENSION…. AID THE DEATH MAGE AND YOUR NEW KING IN DEFEATING THIS GREAT THREAT! GYRO WILL NOT FALL TODAY!" Kalos' voice was like thunderclaps and had a special effect that made the blood of everyone who heard him boil.

"FOR GYRO!"

"FOR KING GERALD!"

"FOR DERIK ANGUS!"

Everyone roared as the urged their powers and quick launched their attacks at the ma.s.sive rectangular portal. Soon an ocean of different colours of attack crashed into the ma.s.sive portal violently!

........................

Within the cathedral, the priest heading this branch of the holy church in the continent was sipping red wine from a transparent gla.s.s cup, in his usual black and red priest garment. Behind him were two ma.s.sive white angel wings and his long golden hair fluttered. His snow-white eyes narrowed slightly and a mocking smile filled his face when he watched Derik and the others attack the barrier ferociously yet he didn't seem bothered. By the way, the [G.o.dly domain Protection] was no simply barrier, resources worth millions of gold in coins are need to forge one of this. This is an amount only the holy church can afford! But when he saw the might of Gyro combining their powers to attack the barrier, the wingman priest turned pale and almost choked on the wine.

He quickly got on his feet and kicked away the servant carry the jar of wine for no reason and roared to the other servants

"Find Bishop Aldora! Quickly or the cathedral in Gyro will fall today!" He roared in a fearful tone!
