LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 99 Chapter 99: Going All Out!

The moment he moved a beam of purple energy shot towards him, threatening to consume him. With a sneer, he twisted his body in ways a normal person wouldn't be able, spinning to the left in the process, evading the purple beam attack easily.

In an instant, he crossed the 30 meters mark and was still moving at tremendous speed. This time the purple orb glowed again but this time it shot the beam of purple energy towards the wall at the right.

Seeing this Derik was startled and quickly stopped his advance after his instincts warned him. The moment he stopped the purple beam bounced off the wall and shot at the empty s.p.a.ce in front of him. A bead of sweat trickled down his forehead and he swallowed hard, he knew that if he took one step forward.

He quickly retreated but it was already late, the purple orb glowed and this time, fifteen beams of purple energy were shot at random targets all over the room. The beams of purple energy bounced off mirrors continuously and so quickly that it formed an energy net around him, trapping him in the process.

His expression turned gloomy, at this point he was at a very difficult position, he wasn't planning on destroying the mirrors hidden in the glowing golden light simply because this will increase the completion rate of those who will come after him. He knew these people bore evil intentions and had plans of reducing their numbers in any way possible as to make things easier for himself when they finally clash.

"Go!" Derik roared, sending the levitating bone spear to intercept one of the purple beams, in a bid to create an opening in the energy net which was now shrinking, limiting Derik's movement s.p.a.ce.

With a roar, he moved his claws releasing waves of claw-shaped darkish purple energy burst out and quickly flew towards the net of purple energy!

BOOM!!

Derik didn't hesitate this time and shot forward once again. He decided to try another approach, retracting his claws and fangs in the process. A bone bow and bone quiver filled with bone arrows! He knew that if he tried to deal with the beams of energy when they are directed towards him, he probably wouldn't be able to move an inch. So why not change his method to something he felt more familiar with since the orb focused on reflecting its beams thereby confusing its foes. If he could prevent this wouldn't it be easier for him to reach the altar? If he could intercept the energy beams he definitely won't be in need to constantly retreat.

With that resolved, Derik decided to pour in his one year plus archery skill training into this challenge. His free palm opened and bone arrows flew into his hand when he saw the orb glow, obviously preparing for another attack.

Low level bronze combat technique: Eagles eye!

Low level Bronze combat technique: Shot series!!

Derik's fiery purple eyes suddenly glowed for a moment and a thin layer of transculent orange energy surrounded his body. His eyes narrowed as the orb fired fifteen beams of purple energy to random targets in the room, in response Derik fired 15 arrows barely at the same time intercepting the fifteen beams of purple energy before it could reach the mirrors.

A savage grin appeared on his face as he instantly crossed the fifteen meters mark and it didn't look like he was planning to slow down. This time the orb glowed and fired 30 beams of energy all at the same time and to its greatest surprise, Derik was able to match up to it, thanks to his enhanced physical capabilities and the bonus speed boost gotten from his low bronze combat technique, shot series. This combat technique focused on improving the firing speed of the user to a level where the user actually hurts himself in the process! It's up to the user to adjust his or herself to this improved speed and make proper use of it.

Meanwhile, the low-level bronze combat technique: Eagles eye simply improves Derik's perception, ultimately increasing his accuracy. With that combination, Derik could easily keep up. Bang! Bang!

Bang!

About thirty bone arrows shot out almost at the same time but only twenty-seven met their intended targets while the other three missed.

"s.h.i.+t!" Derik roared and waved his hand.

Instantly three b.a.l.l.s of death energy flew out and took the shape of a bone spear, flying towards the incoming three beams of purple light. The three bone spears collided with the beams and Derik abruptly blew pa.s.s without having to retreat!

A wide grin appeared on his face when he realized he was only 10 meters away, his fiery purple flame eyes blazed on as multiple bone arrows manifested beside him, levitating. The orb glowed once again but this time it released sixty beams, seeing this Derik's expression crumbled and his face went blank for a second. Knowing it was pointless to use his arrows this time he let go of the bone bow in his hand which vanished afterward and roared! Clasping his hands together, his expression turned rigid and his death energy burst out.

"Silver level secret technique: Shrieks of the dead!" He roared.

His death aura soon took the form of a ma.s.sive 5 meters tall skeleton, wrapping its ma.s.sive body around Derik as he moved. The beams of purple energy bombarded the darkish purple skeleton but it couldn't even leave a scratch on it. With this Derik entered the five meters threshold and a glint of excitement appeared on his face, under the protection of the energy skeleton Derik fearlessly stormed forward. With only five meters left, whatever mechanism which controlled the purple orb on the golden altar decided to go all out.

The purple orb trembled dangerously and shot out over a hundred beams of purple energy at the mirrors in the room. This time, the size of the beams of energy had doubled and the aura which these beams exuded greatly terrified Derik, he could tell that these beams of energy were only slightly inferior to his energy skeleton. If it were only one beam he probably wouldn't be disturbed but he could count more than a hundred beams of energy.

His smile faded and he dared not hold back, knowing this attack could easily kill a peak grade bronze realm warrior or mage and even injure a sliver realm warrior or mage. His energy instantly spiked the moment he removed his limiters and he quickly poured in all that power into the skeleton protecting him.

The skeleton screeched and its body trembled! The energy skeleton suddenly looked more lifelike and it gave out a sinister aura more diabolic than Derik's! Initially, the skeleton was comparable to the attack of a peak bronze realm warrior or mage but after this upgrade, its power broke past the bronze realm, entering the silver realm straight up! Even then, Derik's heart was not at ease, even if his attack at this point was a bonafide silver level secret combat technique, the rain of those beams of purple energy still left visible damages and at a point, visible web-shaped cracks appeared on it. Shriek!!! The bone skeleton let out an ear-piercing cry before it was completely destroyed.

At this point, Derik's body was covered in his blood and just above him, were over sixty beams of energy, falling towards him at a terrifying speed.

Tap!

Instantly Derik's body was shrouded in a golden aura and he instantly vanished before the beams of energy rained down on him. Derik's unconscious body reappeared in a densely forested area, his body looked shriveled and emaciated.

His eyes were lifeless and his aura had completely vanished. Derik stayed in this disturbing state for days with only slight improvements, his pitch-black hair had turned white, swaying helplessly under the mercy of the wind.

On the seventh day, a team of people whose faces were covered with the hoods of their green cloaks appeared, their leaf green eyes were fixed on Derik's body and complex emotions filled their faces!
