LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 255 Chapter 255: Leaving The Continent 5

His shadow spread wide and numerous black shadows detached from his, taking shelter in the shadows of these young kids without them noticing. If Kin were here he would have spotted Derik's actions the very moment he starts the transfer. Even though Andrew possessed darkness magic, he still had a long way to go in understanding how his magic works, and his realm is probably too low as well, the difference in their strength is simply too large. Even then he had this familiar feeling but he could spot the source!

"Don't worry big bro… I will definitely take good care of them!" Dimitris declared boldly with clenched fists.

Seeing this Derik only nodded in response and turned to meet the other three, a sly smile appeared on his face and his green pupils glowed really bright. Suddenly numerous ancient letters appeared all over his body and his eyes quivered. His aura changed entirely, creating some sort of strange balance towards everything that left these five kids terrified. They could not feel any violent intention from Derik, yet they feared him, making them retreat by a few steps. The change was so sudden and Derik was like a G.o.d in their eyes.

"What kind of power is this…" Andrew was horrified by this and quickly asked. Just a moment ago he felt a powerful force p.r.i.c.king his forehead, trying to get to into his head but he was able to successfully dispel them while retreating.

"Have you heard of the seven deadly sins? Derik asked absentmindedly as he too was stunned by the feeling and decided to dive deeper into it.

"What are you trying to say? What are the seven deadly sins?" Blake instantly got interested but didn't dare approach Derik. The others were also attentive, hoping to hear what could grant Derik such a magnificent presence.

"Each sin represents a powerful emotion that led to the downfall of man… an emotion which they couldn't control so they were consumed by it! Pride, rage, l.u.s.t, envy, sloth, greed, and gluttony, each of these are powerful emotions which man has failed to keep in check" Derik explained slowly.

"So what does this mean? How will this help us?" Jean asked reluctantly.

"This ability may not be too fancy and stylish but they are priceless! Each sin allows its bearer to influence the emotion and actions of people… Steer up anarchy due to anger or make even the closest of friends draw they blades at each other! All of this is possible, as long as you can control someone's emotions perfectly you can win any battle" Derik explained slowly.

Not waiting for these kids to speak up Derik began chanting some words and replica's of the words written on his body appeared all around him, his eyes first s.h.i.+fted to Blake. Waving his hand numerous letters flew towards the Blake, slamming into his forehead before sinking into his skin.

"Gluttony…" Derik muttered 

Using the same method again, he sent another batch of ancient letters at Jean, letting it sink into her forehead.

"l.u.s.t…" he muttered.

Derik repeated this over and over again, granting Andrew the sin of greed while granting Dimitris envy and Philips rage. With this completed, Derik felt extremely exhausted, so he sent those kids away and slept off immediately.

.......................................…

The next day, Derik woke up to the sound of the large iron doors opening. He realized he had slept for at least twelve hours and even now he didn't feel like he has recovered completely. As he got stronger, he also realized he needs less time to rest, for over a decade now, this was the first time he slept.

"I almost forgot how this felt… I wish I could sleep more often" Derik muttered to himself.

Thud!

Thud!!

"Who are you speaking to?" Cyrus pulled his hood back the moment he entered the room, revealing his golden sculpture-like face. His eyes carried hints of amus.e.m.e.nt as he gazed at the exhausted Derik with a sly smile on his face.

"Don't answer, I can only guess you did something crazy… Something crazy enough to put someone as powerful as you in such a condition" Cyrus chuckled lightly.

"He did? What did you do?" Kaido walked in and asked curiously.

"It's nothing too serious, I just used my energy to shatter the barrier preventing my disciples from ascending into the silver realm…it really put me in a bad shape…." Derik answered casually.

Hearing this Cyrus' perfect face twisted and he began to wonder how someone as dumb as Derik managed to go this far in life. Both of them knew how much energy they need to acc.u.mulate just to break through to a higher realm. Even though the requirement to the silver realm is less tasking, Cyrus knew any other normal gold realm master who tries to do this to five peak grade bronze realm kids will probably end up dead at the spot.

"Do you really to do things this reckless?" Kaido understood the implication of Derik's actions and was curious as to why Derik would take such a risk.

"It was necessary… I had to empower my people, especially since we are leaving the continent" Derik waved his hand and conjured three thrones made of bones.

Taking a seat, he waited patiently for Cyrus and Kaido to digest what he has just said. No matter how powerful they have become, he was quite sure that none of them has ever considered leaving the continent, even he never dreamt of this when the offer came up.

"Why are we leaving the continent if I may ask?" Cyrus tried to retain his composure and control all his bottled up emotions, trying to break out.

As much as Derik was his best friend and he would always put everything Derik offers into consideration first before others, Cyrus was not really eager to leave everything he has created with more than a decade without a very good reason. The best he can do for Derik right now is to hear him out and consider his offer.

"Do you know the orc chief we faced back then, is the weakest orc chieftain in their world? There are four others more powerful than it" Derik spoke up after a while.

Hearing him, Cyrus and Kaido were stunned and terrified. Those green beasts they faced in the past could be considered as the most powerful force they have faced so far and their leader was the most powerful foe they have battled. To defeat this beast, all three of them had to join hands and force him to retreat. If there are four other beasts more powerful than that thing, this empire will surely crumble in due time if a full-scale invasion should take place.

"I hate to say this but those green beasts are just the creation of one of the G.o.ds trying to invade our world, there are other G.o.ds and their creations will soon arrive. These people won't be inferior to those green beasts we faced in the past, all of us will be wiped out in mere days when the time comes" Derik threw another one at Cyrus and Kaido. He clearly had no intention of letting them recover from the last words he spoke.
