LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 258 Chapter 258: An Empire Without Derik 3

Across the ma.s.sive round table was another man with blood-red hair and blood-red eyes. His fangs were revealed every time he smiled and his skin was as white as a sheet of paper even though his body wreaked of the stench of fresh blood. He wore his usual black and red mage robe with a red hood placed over his head. On his exposed hands were strange black symbols that danced around his body.

"What do you think they will do?" Kira chuckled lightly when he spoke to Agus

"They will most likely use this opportunity to attack us since our palace masters are away and no one knows when they will return" Agus replied thoughtfully.

"Hehehehe!" A bloodthirsty aura exploded out of Kira as he grinned wildly after listening to Agus' words.

Bam!

The ma.s.sive iron doors were suddenly yanked open and five men walked into the room. Agus could recognize four since they were all famous followers of the death mage. The first was the gray-haired youth with gray eyes, adorned in a gray sleeveless mage robe. This youth was Kalos in his undying youthful body. If someone was not aware of his existence they will definitely be fooled that this youth is not an undead. His ability to seal off his aura entirely, including the death aura oozing out of him, is something not everyone can do! The fact that he has this much strength and control terrified others greatly and they realized the death mage was only capable of killing this man back then because the spatial mage was already tired of life, he just wanted to end it all.

The next was Aldora in his usual child-sized black mage robe, his tiny and circular figure made him look ridiculous but his strength simply prevents anyone from looking down on him. Since he was able to reach the gold realm while still in his early hundreds showed how talented he was while he was still alive. If given another century, the man may have entered the peak grade of the gold realm and may even surpa.s.s this level, taking half a step into the demiG.o.d realm before the end of his life span. Unfortunately, he met Derik and Cyrus before he could reach his peak.

And then there was Kuen whose shoulder-length red hair has been tied back into a ponytail and his aura has risen considerably. He wore the normal black and red sleeveless mage robe with a talisman dangling freely over his neck. Considering how vast the youths aura was, he was just a few years away from the gold realm, just like the other generals of the palace of the dead.

Kin on the other hand was not someone Agus could see through. The man was shrouded in darkness so thick that Agus' light was being swallowed slowly and darkness kept encroaching every part of the room. Unlike Kira who just looked vicious and extremely powerful, Kin was more mysterious and this scared Agus. He always felt uncomfortable whenever he met Kin, even though he knew Kin was on their side, the ability to swallow light was something that terrifies every light mage.

And the last person was someone he couldn't recognize, but with just a sniff he could tell that this man was a werewolf. The man's black hair was cut short and he wore a normal wealthy robe attire with glowing crimson red eyes and a charming smile on his face. The aura the man exuded showed that he was only slightly weaker than the sect commanders. 

"Scott… Its been too long… I was hoping you would join the attacking forces trying to overrun us" Kira walked up to the man to receive him with a cheerful smile on his face.

"If I do that how will I face my family members who joined this sect? do you think I can escape Derik's wrath when he returns… He and Cyrus will definitely wipe out half of the empire when they return" Scott revealed a bitter smile and his eyes were full of pity.

"Then why are you here?" Kalos asked impatiently.

"To join you all in the war to come… Like I said earlier some members of my family are here, I can't let anything happen to them…I brought over what's left of my family guards… They may be nothing compared to what you all have but it's the best I can do" Scott answered honestly.

Hearing this everyone was stunned, they just sat there and gazed at Scott, curious to know whether his words were actually sincere.

"So Derik still has some friends outside the sect…" Kira chuckled.

"Of course Derik still have friends outside his sect!" a hoa.r.s.e voice echoed from outside and some familiar faces walked into the room with warm smiles on their faces.

"Guys…" Kira was stunned and watched these people in disbelief. He never expected something like this to happen in this lifetime.

"Why are you stunned… You all were members of team guardian, its only natural for them to want to help" Gerald who was amongst them chuckled when he saw Kira's startled expression.

"Why are you all helping us?" Aldora frowned as he asked the question.

As a bishop of the holy church who barely left the cathedral at the time, he knew nothing about Derik's past so it's only reasonable that he doesn't trust these people that claim to be Derik's friends now he's away. Even if their words are true and sincere, they are not members of the sect and they can turn their back on the sect at any time…

"Without fear there is chaos… we can't let the reputation the palace of death has built to be destroyed in one day… the presence of this sect commands fear and respect…. It needs to keep standing, for all our sakes…" A lady dressed in a tight black leather clothes spoke up.
