LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 251 Chapter 251: Leaving The Continent 1

With the thick death aura flowing around the sacred mountain restored, the members of the palace of the dead once again felt rejuvenated and more alive than ever, they could feel the power contained in Derik's aura has increased almost twofold, making them feel ecstatic. The ability to cultivate twice as fast as the normal person is not something just anyone can enjoy, this was a privilege given to the members of their sect thanks to the G.o.dly effects of the death aura and this has always been their advantage over other warriors and mages of the empire. Under the influence of the death aura, not only can they cultivate faster but their physical capabilities are improved greatly, enhanced to a whole new level, that's why a kid like Blink dared to go against an orc brawler confidently. The only people who could rival their power in the continent were the members of the palace of life, subordinates of the life guardian spirit host. These people enjoy similar privileges from their palace master but this did not bother them, in fact, they considered these people as brothers and sisters, who will be willing to jump in and save them in their time of need, this is the only possible, due to the relations.h.i.+p between their palace masters, its only natural that they get along too.

Of course, in exchange for greater cultivation speed, Derik and Cyrus' aura continues to mess with the appearance of those who are too weak to protect against it while also messing with their minds as well, making them completely reliant on them. In their various sects, these two were considered as supreme G.o.ds and deities, the presence of the creator has completely been forgotten!

Seeing the effects of his aura on his subordinates has improved to a certain level, Derik nodded in satisfaction, briefly glancing at the faces of the people whom he wishes to protect before leaving. Heading straight for his underground cultivation chamber, below his mansion, Derik was slightly worried. Even though he has broken through to the mid-grade of the gold realm, he is yet to understand his true capabilities, he guessed that he would need a few days to properly a.s.sess his strengths and weaknesses, understanding his capabilities and his limitations. Even though Demos only spoke little about the place where the creator could not enter, the place where he would gain the chance to advance in realm even faster and attain more treasured pieces of equipment that will aid him in the upcoming war, Derik still felt anxious, not daring to take Demos words lightly. He was well aware of the dangers that await him in such a place would be greater than everything he has ever faced, that may be why Demos insisted that he carries Cyrus and Kaido along, two peerless masters at the mid-grade of the gold realm. 

Just what sort of demon is lurking in that area that makes Demos anxious about his safety

Knowing Demos' att.i.tude, he knew that if this was something he could handle alone, Demos won't even let him take someone along but the situation was quite different now. Demos has completely lost faith in Derik's strength, this has never happened before and Derik could not help but feel anxious.

"Is it really so dangerous that I can't handle this matter alone?" Derik muttered absentmindedly.

"What do you mean by dangerous?"

Derik was slightly stunned by the question, he had already forgotten he was walking with some people. Shooting a few glances at the sides, he realized Kuen was the one who asked the question. Not only that, he realized that Kira and Kin were also tagging along! He suddenly felt a bit embarra.s.sed and even more embarra.s.sed by his reaction when Kuen spoke to him.

"What do you mean by dangerous? You have been daydreaming since you returned, who would have thought the palace master of the palace of the dead would fall in love just after his breakthrough… that's the only explanation I can come up with" Kuen found Derik's reaction amusing and chose to a.s.sault him even more. He chuckled lightly while he ruthlessly attacked Derik in all weak spots he could find.

It's not every day one can make a gold realm master who has dominion over the death element feel embarra.s.sed. A sense of pride and achievement swelled in his heart and he puffed out his chest proudly while gazing at Derik with a mocking grin on his face, waiting for him to reply.

"Hehehehe! You rascal!" Kira secretly gave Kuen a thumbs up. 

Even though his hand gesture was done very quickly and behind him, it couldn't escape Derik's pitch-black eyes. He inwardly chuckled at Kuen's attempt to make him feel embarra.s.sed, choosing to ignore it.

"Love? I'm too old for that… I will be leaving for a while soon… so I have decided to place the safety of this sect in the hands of you three. Don't worry, you will have Kalos and Aldora by your sides" Derik went straight to the point.

Hearing him speak, the facial expression of the other three turned ugly, they were aware of what may follow whenever Derik is not around. Even though Kira use to be Derik's teammate and Kuen was also as old as him, they genuinely saw Derik as their leader, his absence naturally made them feel anxious.

"I understand your worries… I will find a way to steadily supply you all with my aura to help improve your cultivation speed… As for my safety… I have Cyrus and Kaido by my side… There is no reason for any of you to worry much" Derik rea.s.sured them.

"Lord Cyrus and Kaido are leaving as well? To where?" Kin asked. Even though his body was shrouded in cl.u.s.ters dark clouds due to his affinity to the darkness element, Derik could still see him clearly. This is something he could not do before, this was probably because the improvement in his realm also strengthened his power over the death element.
