Cyrus' snow-white eyes sparkled as he watched Derik's body fall into the darkness and grief overtook him. This was the person who has always found a way out of every tough situation. He found a way to defeat the level twelve stone trolls, he found a way to subdue team gyro lead by the son of the king, Kuen Gyro. He found a way to escape the grasp of the king and his soldiers at the moonlight forest! He battled side by side with the eldest prince Gerald against a fallen archangel and made him flee!
To think that such a young yet powerful character would fall in a place like this, at this hour pained his soul. They were only a second late, a second away from assisting him in his battle against that monster of the lizardman race.
His visage turned cold and he turned his attention to the elven expedition troops of Alda not too far from the Gyro kingdom expedition troops. He knew Derik had left with them and he strongly believed that the least they could do after he helped them was assist him in this battle.
Just like Derik, Cyrus can sense the life force of beings even miles away from his current position, this is one of the perks of the life magic which he makes use of. At that point, he could tell those Derik left with because of the strong nature aura surrounding them, he still failed to understand why they refused to aid him in this battle.
"I'll kill you!" Cyrus roared at Ahika and the life aura in him erupted as a volcano and strange golden markings appeared all over his body.
His golden hair glowed bright and his clothes fluttered in the wind. His snow-white eyes revealed his malicious intentions for Ahika and he turned into a beam of light and shot towards Ahika.
"Life magic: Guardian spirit divine sword, heaven shattering sword!" Cyrus roared like a beast and reached for the void and pulled down.
The clear blue sky turned golden and a gigantic divine sword appeared! The sword was over a 300 hundred meters tall and over 200 meters wide! Hovering over Cyrus' head like a guardian angel.
"The guardian path and the limiter path!... mastering two paths at the bronze realm, this kid as terrifying as Derik! He seems to have some connection to him, are all his friend's monsters?" Isabel looked terrified as she stared at Cyrus standing gallantly in mid-air like an immoveable ancient wall that can withstand even the word falling on him.
At the low-grade of the silver realm, a warrior or mage focuses on mastering their desired paths after which they breakthrough to the mid-grade of the silver realm if they are successful. To think a low-level bronze realm warrior will possess two paths which are extremely rare even amongst peak grade silver realm warriors and mages, Isabel was shocked and terrified.
"You wish to fight me… a mere human child? Was that your friend? This is the first time I have seen two people possessing opposing magic have such a close relationship..." Ahika roared like an ancient beast and shot towards Cyrus with malicious intentions.
He swung his massive blazing broadsword at Derik, releasing a sea of scorching flames.
"Don't worry, I will send you where I sent him soon… Yes! Soon both of you will be reunited!" Ahika screamed like a mad man.
"Humph!" Cyrus snorted and waved his had vertically.
"You lack the ability to beat me or Derik… you only won because you used dirty trick... I won't fall prey to it as you did!" Cyrus snorted.
The massive divine sword which stood gallantly above his head suddenly let out an ear-piercing cry after receiving its orders and hacked down on Ahika!
The massive golden body split the sea of flame in two easily and quickly proceeded to attack Ahika, attempting to split him in two as well.
"When you meet Derik in the underworld… tell him I did this to you!" Cyrus said with a cold gaze.
"Don't you dare look down on me!" Ahika roared and the red flames hovering over him turned blue, his fiery red eyes soon turned blue as well and the red scales on his body turned blue as well.
Blazing flame magic: Blue flame of the creator!
The heat eventually skyrocketed to terrifying heights. He threw both hands at the massive divine sword descending on him like a mountain. He bit his lips so hard until it started bleeding and his blue eyes glowed even more!
"Burst!" Ahika roared and a terrifying amount of blue flames poured out of his hands completely consuming the massive sword. Numerous metal shattering sounds could be heard and the speed of the descending sword slowed down greatly.
Puti!
Cyrus clutched his chest and spat out a mouth full of blood, his body quivered and it looked like he would fall off the sky.
The guardian sword allows the user to create a divine weapon that possesses great and terrifying power. Users of this path invest a lot of power in their divine weapons which can be used to battle beings in higher realms but at the cost of a massive amount of mana. If Cyrus didn't use the limiter path to support himself, he never would have been able to summon the divine sword.
The major drawback of this technique is that the user bears any amount of damage that the divine weapon sustains in battle. The user's life is tied to the massive divine weapon and when the divine weapon is destroyed, the user dies as well.
............
Gerald stared at Cyrus with a gloomy expression on his face as he considered what to do next, he was truly shocked by the fact that Derik actually lost to the lizardman and found it hard to understand why the elves didn't aid him.
He knew that he couldn't aid Cyrus in this battle to avenge Derik so as not to blow his cover, he could only watch and pray that Cyrus can avenge Derik's demise for the both of them!.
.............
Ahika gritted his teeth as he retreated while pouring out a massive torrent of blue flames on the divine sword pressing down on him. At this point, his savage eyes showed signs of fear mixed with his rage. Cyrus' talent and power truly terrified him.
"SLASH!" Cyrus screamed while clutching his chest with his hands.
Slash!
Puff!
Ahika roared like a wounded dog as the massive divine blade tore through his scales and penetrated his chest, giving him a deep cut wound on his chest.
"Damn you!" He roared and threw his hands at Cyrus. Instantly, another wave of terrifying and scorching blue flames poured out and flew towards Cyrus!
"Stop struggling and just die!" Cyrus roared and threw his hands forward.
Instantly the ear-piercing cries emanated from the massive divine sword once again and it shot towards Ahika.
"Burn to ashes!' Ahika suddenly screamed and the volume and power of his blue flames skyrocketed in an instant.
"Split the heavens!" Cyrus was not willing to back down either! Divine runes appeared on his massive divine sword and glowed brightly. A golden halo surrounded the massive divine sword and its size suddenly doubled.
The divine sword looked like an ancient mountain pressing down on an ocean of flames that could roast the world! The level of these attacks was on par with the attacks of peak grade silver realm warriors and mages. To create such devastating attacks, the two combatants poured in every bit of their power to destroy each other with this final strike, thereby hurting themselves.
... Suddenly…..
"Lightning magic: wave of despair!" a seductive voice echoed from the eastern path of the forest and a sea of lightning stormed out of the mysterious forest and rolled towards Cyrus and Ahika!
"Scram!'
"You have chosen death!"
Ahika and Cyrus roared and turned their attacks towards the sea of flashy blue lighting completely obliterating it. They both looked exhausted and they silently waited for the assailant to show herself
As expected she didn't disappoint.
Dark clouds gathered around the peak of the cliff and lightning struck down and a beautiful figure appeared.
She wore a tight-fitting white gown that revealed her enticing thighs and her massive breasts. Her sky blue hair fluttered in the wind and her sky blue eyes released sparks of lightning.
"The lightning goddess of the clouds, Zaylee!" Ahika roared
"You dare get involved in the business of the Kingdom of Baldmar? Do you think the kingdom of Cato can withstand my king's wrath?" Ahika screamed like a mad man
Cyrus simply remained silent and observed the lady, his massive divine sword stood gallantly above his head and waited for his orders.
"You're the host of the guardian spirit of lightning…" Cyrus cried out in fear.
"You just noticed? Good for you… Life, fire, and death? I sensed his aura a moment ago… don't tell me…" Zaylee said
"Dead… I killed him" Ahika said proudly
Cyrus' eyebrows knitted together and his expression turned ugly.
"If you all wish to do battle, let's not dabble on pointless discussions… let us end this here and now!" Cyrus roared like a beast for the first time. He was clearly angry!
