The room fell silent as the commander of the royal guards approached Derik with his hands placed on the hilt of the sheathed saber firmly. This man was about 5.9ft tall and had a scar with ran across the left side of his face, stretching down to his thick black mustache. It was obvious that this man had received a fatal blow in a battle which rendered his left eye useless.
This man just like every other royal guard member wore a blood red knights armor which had the royal family crest boldly imprinted on it. Even though this man was from the guardian knight class, there was this aura that oozed out of his body which made everyone take a step back. He was a peak grade of the bronze rated fighter and was only a step away from entering the sliver level realm. "I'll only ask once… boy!... Step aside and let his highness pass" The man roared
"Hahahahahaha!"
Contrary to everyone's expectation, Derik burst out resounding rounds of laughter which left everyone dazed. Gerald who stood behind the king initially planned to step forward and resolve this issue in a peaceful manner but seeing the way Derik reacted, he raised an eyebrow and waited to see what the kid had in mind
[Should the worst happen… Take control of my body and escape] Derik spoke to the spirit in his mind
[Is this truly necessary?] The voice of the guardian spirit quickly replied.
[The outcome of this gathering has already been decided… These people are shameless…... It is necessary we show them what we are capable of, that will definitely make them hesitate when taking their decision] Derik screamed out in his mind
[Very well… but you remember what happens when we guardian spirits try to manipulate the host's actions, we indirectly harm their bodies and souls… that's why most people who acquire guardian spirits tend to die you… you have so much potential… that is why I decided not to follow that path anymore… I'm sure if given enough time, you will definitely get to that level… I will only carry out your request if there is no other way!]Hearing the voice of this ancient spirit in his head, the crazed expression on Derik's face vanished and was replaced with that of confidence. He closed his eyes and memories of everything be had gone through at the hands of these people simply due to a battle that Kuen's team had actually started.
He didn't know how much Kira and the others suffered but it was clear it wasn't as severe as him, with the exception of Cyrus who was In a very miserable condition.
BOOM!
It first came as a shockwave which destroyed his shredded shirt, revealing his upper half. Everyone's eye in the room suddenly turned gloomy as they based upon all sorts of wounds on Derik's body inflicted through the use of a magic weapon. "Bastards! How could you do this to a kid!""Animals!!!""Why didn't the royal team receive such a treatment as well? Injustice!!!"
Various voices echoed around the capital as they cursed the royal family for been so ruthless.
Seeing the wounds on Derik's body, Gin and the expression of the other turned grim and their gaze turned murderous when their questioning gaze fell on the Royal family. Even Gerald frowned as he slowly separated himself from his family and looked at his father and sister with a disgusted look on his face, knowing they were responsible for this
Boom!
Boom!
Two more rounds of shockwave instantly caught the attention of everyone in the royal courtroom. Suddenly sinister dark energy exploded out of Derik's body which even made members of the royal guards retreat instinctively. Visible cracks then appeared on the chains on his body.
"Aren't those chains supposed to suppress one's magic and strength? Even I will need to put in some effort to shatter it, how is this kid doing it…. Where is he getting this energy from" The commander of the royal guards thought for a while
"Kill him… Kill him now before he shatters his shackles! Ben, go!" The man roared
"Understood!" A man who stood behind him roared and shot forward with his saber unsheathed. Each and every member of the Royal guards are considered elites who are at least in the mid grade of the Bronze realm.At this point, Derik's eyes abruptly yanked open and with a roar, the final burst of death aura exploded from his body violently.
While moving slightly side stepping to the left to evade the sword attack, his hands were then covered with darkish purple energy and his body shivered violently as he clenched his fist and struck at the man from the side
Crack!
Crack!!
Boom!!!
An armor shattering sound coupled with an ear piercing scream dominated the room for a while as the royal guard's body was sent flying into the area where the nobles were seated. Knocking over a few seats, the man's body shuddered violently as he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Seeing this everyone in the room was terrified. Their eyes were glued on the royal family, everyone was curious to see how they would react. Since these nobles were not warriors, they could only stare in silence while holding their breath.
"My friend here was violated by your guard! And you dare set up a trial against us when those bastards who put my friend in a miserable state should be killed… you all are really shameless!" Derik roared as he stared at the guards who stood were brought here by the royal family to testify against them.
"Boy!!!" The scar face commander roared while unsheathing his saber
"Silence!!!" Derik's roared and he was soon consumed by a darkish purple aura
"Death magic: Death Armour"
As soon as the death energy exploded, everyone took a step back.
Thud!
Thud!!
Thud!!!
Casually working out of the cloud of dark aura with an indifferent look on his face Derik began chanting
"Ooo power of death, grant thy servant thy power and lend thee thy strength... Give me the power to Vanquish all those who stand against thy power and by the end of this day, thy heads shall hang at the tip of thy spear... Death magic: Bone spear!!!"
Almost immediately, a shiny white spear made of bones appeared by Derik's side. The aura which this bone spear poured out was so terrifying that even the commander of the royal guards wore a grim expression on his face while some nobles just passed out instantly. Even Derik was shocked by the sudden increase in his power, even though he knew the limit imposition path which he and Cyrus had chosen to walk would be amazing but this was way above his expectations.
A satisfied smile bloomed across his face as he walked towards the commander and the white spear followed him patiently by the side, ready to strike down all who goes against its master. A bow made of bone and a bone arrow appeared in his other hand. A bone quiver soon appeared, filled with bone arrows
"All I ask of is justice for my team… Do not force my hand!... Even if I lose my life here… I'm sure you all will not walk out of here unscathed" He sneered as shifted his attention to the weakest member of the gyro family, Kuen and a sinister smile appeared on his face
