118 Chapter 118: Defea

"Break!" Derik roared as he thrust his hands forward and all 60 bone spears shot forward and faced the letter bombs head-on. The explosions echoed in the skies and it looked like the clouds would fall at any moment.

Even though these two had reached the power level of silver realm warriors, they exhibited powers above the low-grade of the silver realm.

Bam!

Derik and Ahika dashed forward and their strong bodies collided for the first time since the battle began. They both looked frenzied at this moment, assaulting each other physically.

The shockwaves sounded like roaring thunder and the gust of winds that were created from the shockwave of the attacks were enough to make everyone watching feel afraid.

Boom!

Boom!!

Derik and Ahika retreated by a few steps retreated from each other, both sides breathing heavily. Their eyes looked wild and it looked like they couldn't feel pain, their auras kept rising as seconds ticked by and it soon settled at the mid-grade of the silver realm. A realm on par with all the leaders of the expedition troops in this dungeon.

Unlike Ahika who had thick, metal-like scales which protected his skin, Derik was all skin and looked extremely miserable, there were numerous claw wounds from which he bled from but surprisingly that didn't reduce his fighting spirit even once, instead he looked more excited and wilder than ever.

His wounds were closing at a visible rate and his fiery darkish purple eyes burnt so bright that it looked like it was glowing.

"Bastard!...' Derik caused with a smile on his face…"This is it… this is why I fight! You dare not hold back on me!" He roared and a magic array appeared above his head

"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 of death and by the end of this day, thy heads shall hang on the tip of thy spear… Death magic: Bone spear!!!" He roared, pouring a lot of mana into the magic array.

A glittering bone spear soon appeared and the evil aura which it diffused from it was truly terrifying. grabbing on to the weapon, Derik felt like he could split the world with one attack if he decided to.

"Hahahahaha!... Mediocre! I will teach you respect!" Ahika roared and clasped his hands together.

"From the pits of the underworld and the armory of the heavens, be my partner and my guide… burn down everyone who stands in my way and reduce them to ashes… Blazing fire magic: Flaming sword  of the heavens and the underworld!" Ahika roared and pulled out a blazing broadsword from the void.

The scorching aura which diffused from this blade was not in any way inferior to Derik's bone spear, in fact it was even better but this didn't bother Derik at all. Both parties seemed to be about to fall into bedevilment so they disregarded their safety and simply want to battle till one side is dead.

Derik had to confess, this lizardman is one of the toughest foes he has ever faced. He finally recognized the strength of other guardian spirit hosts, daring not to look down on them ever again.

"Don't disappoint!" he screamed and dashed forward with the bone spear in his hand striking forward the moment he was in range.

Seeing Derik move, Ahika roared like a savage beast and struck forward as well.

Boooom!

Both sides retreated by a few meters and dashed at each other again but this time things changed.

Ahika struck forward once again expecting Derik to strike back but to his greatest surprise, Derik drifted to the left, evading the flaming broadsword.

His body felt like it was consumed in raging flames as he was close to the flaming broadsword, he began to wonder how bad it will be if he eventually gets hit by this hit by this weapon.

His throat felt dry and his body looked emaciated, it looked like all the liquid in his body had dried up and he felt extremely thirsty. Derik looked up and saw the sun, rolling down towards the earth, about to collapse upon him.

Derik was terrified and really didn't understand what was going on, this is the first time he has found himself in such a situation. His tried to understand what was going on but all he could think of was the sun about to crash into the earth and he was forced to think of a way to stop it!

Puti!

Sizzle!

Sizzle!!

Sizzle!!!

Derik's body trembled and swayed helplessly in the air, it looked like he would fall any moment. All he could remember was that he planned to counter-attack and soon found himself in a strange world. The strange conditions of that world prevented him from thinking straight and he could only surrender to it.

Then he felt a scorching blade pierce through his body, sticking out of his back, it felt like a blazing sun was placed inside his stomach, roasting all the organs inside his body while causing his black blood to evaporate as well.

"Blazing fire magic: Scorching false world" Ahika looked surprisingly calm as he whispered those words proudly into Derik's ears.

"A-an ill-us-ion" Derik struggled to speak as he stared at Ahika with a weak smile on his face.

He was careless, his opponent pulled out a cunning technique which he did not expect and to advantage of his state of mind to deal a fatal blow.

He spat out a mouth full of black blood and laughed weakly. He was too confident in his powers and he made a costly mistake. He really didn't expect to lose this way, he didn't even have the chance to take off his limiters and fight this lizardman of the blazing lizard clan with the best of his abilities. He still had a lot to show off!

"Derik!"

"Derik!"

"Derik!"

Elsa, Gerald and Cyrus' voice echoed all around him, they were frightened. He turned his head lazily to seen the expedition troops of the Gyro kingdom and the expedition troops of the Alda kingdom staring at him strangely.

He saw grief in some of their faces, while the others smiled. Cyrus, Gerald, and his former teammates screamed his name and said something he couldn't hear. His vision became blurred and he could only give them a weak smile and wait for death to come.

"You disappoint me…" Ahika's voice rung in his ear like a bell.

He suddenly felt a strong and firm hand push him off the flaming broadsword and into the darkness below the cliff at the edge of the mysterious forest.

"I failed… Demos..." Derik muttered…
