121 Chapter 121: Breakthrough!

The three hosts fell into the darkness and soon appeared on the other side. The land was barren and thick evil energy filled the air.

Bam!

Bam!!

Bam!!!

Like three flaming comets, all three crashed into the ground, leaving behind craters over 5 meters deep created from the impact of the fall.

"Crap…' Cyrus muttered as he struggled to get on his feet, his eyes showed he was worn out and he quickly retrieved his divine weapon. The crack on the divine weapon truly hurt badly and he was pretty sure he will suffer the backlash after his limiter path times out.

He knew he would recover if given enough time to rest but his only worry was those people who fell into this place with him, in his weakened state he definitely won't be able to defend himself against this people talk more of defeating them.

He looked up to the thick darkness which gathered above his head and wondered if he could get out of this place.

Woooosh!

Zaylee's figure flashed as she flew towards the darkness in the sky at terrifying speed. Her eyes released sparks of electricity and lightning energy surged around her body. it seemed as if she was preparing for an attack.

"Lightning magic: wave of despair!" She roared and poured out her lightning power and it danced towards the infinite darkness.

Bam!

Bam!!

The darkness seemed to solidify, preventing Zaylee and her lightning attack from passing through. Her lightning struck the darkness and it couldn't even penetrate! Her body soon proceeded to collide with it and she was shot back into the crater from which she emerged from.

"Its no use… we can't return… we need to leave this place before the fallen archangel appears… I don't think we can fight against it" Ahika said in a calm tone.

He seemed to have calmed down and his body looked like something that has suffered from second-degree burns.  He looked tired and almost drained of mana.

At this point, Cyrus realized he is not the only one who was in a terrible state. Their battle was fierce and all sides got hurt, now that the fallen archangel of life wanted them dead, all they can do is run until they recover their lost strength before facing off against him again.

"We would have been able to defeat the fallen archangel if he was here…" Cyrus sighed as she looked at the barren land, void of life.

"He? Do you mean the host of the death guardian spirit? The last I checked light is effective against death… he is the worse person to have around at the moment" Zaylee snorted.

"What do you know? I have battled him twice and every single time we fought, I lost… He was the one who battled the fallen archangel earlier, I'm pretty sure everyone felt the intensity of the battle… He made the fallen archangel flee with his tail between his legs… do you think this lizardman can win against him? Derik has a bad habit of testing out new things in the heat of battle… if he fought against this lizardman with his true competence he would have won easily!' Cyrus sneered.

Ahika and Zaylee were shaken and slightly annoyed by his words. They knew the meaning behind Cyrus' words and they weren't pleased with it. he was simply trying to tell that they cannot defeat a fifteen-year-old kid.

"Crap!" Ahika got annoyed and stood on his feet.

"If you want to have a shot at it… sure! come on, I'll serve you well!" Cyrus got on his feet and sneered.

Both sides approached each other but then the felt something. It was like an evil black trying to pull their souls and vitality out of their bodies.

"What is this?!' Zaylee screamed in fear and quickly retreated

"Such evil! This…" Ahika was shaken by this as well…

Unlike the other two, Cyrus was not scared, instead, his face brightened and his charming smile returned to his face!

"I knew he couldn't be killed so easily!" Cyrus laughed, turning into a beam of light before shooting towards the direction of the suction force excitedly.

The other two were shocked by his sudden mood change and decided to follow him closely.

............

Cyrus arrived at the entrance of a cave and thick death aura filled the place, he was overjoyed by this. Not minding those behind him, he ran into the cave with a ball of glowing light floating beside him as he proceeded.

After walking for over ten minutes he reached to the edge of the cave and right there was Derik who sat in a cross-legged position while meditating. His death aura was steadily increasing and becoming more, real.

Cyrus instantly understood what was going on and he turned his attention towards Ahika and Zaylee.

"This is where the tour ends… turn back and leave… he will not be disturbed" Cyrus said with knitted eyebrows. He knew these people were not friendly and will most likely try to harm Derik when he is at his weakest and this could be considered as the perfect time, especially since he is breaking through into a higher grade in his realm.

"He's breaking through…"Ahika said with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Isn't that cute and he left himself open to external attacks… you want to protect him… that's really touching" Zaylee laughed.

"What is your relationship with the death mage" Ahika suddenly asked with a stern look on his face and his red scales turned blue instantly.

Zaylee's eyes sparkled due to excitement and her body was soon shrouded by lightning aura.

They both knew that Cyrus could not risk summoning his massive divine weapon here since it's an enclosed location. Doing that will only put Derik as well and even if he could, the divine weapon was damaged by Samael's attacks. He was nowhere next to his weak character. Even Cyrus had a headache when he pondered on how to deal with this issue

"He is my friend and he asked both of you to leave!" Derik's voice roared like thunder.

Instantly a massive wave of corrosive death aura poured out of where Derik sat and completely consumed everyone!
