124 Chapter 124: Guardian spirit versus hosts of Aldemar

Derik stood at the entrance of the cave-like a thousand-year-old wall which could withstand the whole world crumbling down on it. He waved his hand and he started pulling power from the negative emotions of the other hosts around.

Cyrus and Ahika were enraged, itching for revenge and Zaylee was terrified, by taking in their negative emotions he knew exactly the way they felt.

"Fear is an unnecessary emotion which only prevents you from growing further… you are too careful and you fear death, that's why you are the weakest of the four of us even though you have the highest cultivation base… If you dare turn your back on us midway into the battle I will not hesitate to pursue you to the ends of the earth, don't think that little kingdom of yours will be able to shelter you from my wrath, you will die a gruesome death by my hands… you have been warned" Derik turned Zaylee and said this straight to her face with an indifferent expression. His cold darkish purple fiery eyes seemed to pierce through her body and look deep inside her soul for him to know her through emotions covered with a seductive smile.

Zaylee and the other two were startled by this, they failed to understand how Derik was able to tell her true emotions with just a glance and the fact that she didn't refute this made them believe every single word he said about her even more.

All three, Cyrus included were terrified by this fueling Derik's already rising power. Soon his power broke through the peak-grade of the bronze realm and proceeded to enter the low-grade of the silver realm! His body rose and stood firmly in the sky and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This was what he wanted.

When he found out that Zaylee wasn't the brave type, he quickly decided to deepen her fear for him in a bid to increase his own power. He never expected his actions to affect Cyrus and Ahika but since it did he felt even better. He watched ancient darkish purple letters appear all over his body and a vicious light glowed in his eyes as he looked at the direction from which Samael was approaching. He could no longer draw the power of negative emotions from the souls which use to live in his body, so this time he could only rely on those around him.

"His… his power level! It's rising! it's actually rising… he keeps getting stronger by the second… he is not using his path then how is he actually doing this?" Ahika was terrified for the first time. when he fought Derik in the past, he was consumed by his rage path so he didn't really bother to check how Derik's power suddenly matched his. He quickly assumed he was using a path similar to his rage path. But after he spoke to Cyrus and realized what Derik used was not the power of his path, he was terrified. Even now his fear for Derik reached new heights, he finally understood why the other guardian spirits could not compare to the guardian spirits of life and death.

"He's drawing power from negative emotions! That's the only explanation I can come up with… This kid is a monster… he's even worse than the life mage!" Zaylee screamed in fear.

Meanwhile, Cyrus stood still while gazing at Derik's back with a strange expression on his face. Even though he sees Derik as his best friend, he still sees him as a possible opponent as well… that's why he has always been trying to compete against Derik. Seeing that his rival has reached the peak of the bronze realm in half a year and he possessed such amazing powers, Cyrus felt strange. His competitive spirit rose greatly and he swore to reach this height and catch up to Derik soon.

His life aura exploded and golden ancient writings appeared all over his body similar to the ones on Derik's body

"Favored child of life…" Derik whispered to himself.

Cyrus removed his limiters and his aura skyrocketed once again, crossing the bronze realm and entering the silver realm threshold. His body levitated and he stood by Derik's side the next moment looking at the direction from where Samael will appear!.

"We have to ensure that we kill this fallen archangel here and now… Should this being leave this place alive we will never be able to live easy although our lives… we must kill him now he is at his weakest or at least deal a devastating blow from which he will never recover!" Cyrus said to Ahika and Zaylee who were still standing on the ground.

Roar!!!!

Ahika roared in anger and his power rose in an instant breaking into the silver realm. He flew up and stood by Derik's side in mid-air with a savage expression on his face.

"No one tells me what to do!" He roared at Cyrus before turning his attention to the darkness above.

Zaylee shook her head repeatedly wishing she can walk away from this. Shre reluctantly flew up to the sky and stood by Cyrus' side

"Let's get this over with!" She said as urged her lightning power and her body was soon covered by over a thousand bolts of lightning.

............….

"HA! THE HOSTS OF THIS DAMNED CONTINENT DARES GATHERS TO FACE ME! HAVE YOU LOST THIS MUCH FACE SAMAEL THE GREAT? I MAKE SURE THE FOUR OF YOOU PAY FOR THIS DISRESPECT WITH YOUR LIVES!" A voice roared like thunder.

Instantly a sea of golden divine flames poured down from the sky like a tidal wave threatening to crush all those beneath it

"Hahahahahahaaha! we will show you the true power of the hosts of Aldemar! Your semi-god tier divine sword will not save you today!" Derik laughed like a mad man while taking off his limiters. He threw both hands towards the incoming sea of golden divine flames and he began chanting!

"Ooo God of Death, lord of the underworld and ruler of all damned souls in it, hear the plea of thy faithful servant and burn thy foe with the unquenchable flames of hell, even thy ashes will not remain… Death magic: Hell flame!!!!"Derik roared and a massive magic array appeared in front of his hands and a sea of darkish purple flames poured out. His power level at this point was at the peak grade of the silver realm so his spells became more powerful and lethal.

"Don't waste your words on him Derik… let's join hands and be done with this!" Cyrus said with a stern look on his face

"Life magic: Guardian spirit divine sword, heaven shattering sword!" Cyrus roared like a beast and reached for the void and pulled down.

The mountain-sized divine sword appeared above Cyrus' head

"Split the heavens!" Cyrus was not willing to hold back 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 that could not be destroyed. It let out an ear-piercing screech and shot forward like an arrow towards the sea of golden divine flames.

"I swear today's encounter will not end like the last time!" Ahika roared and attacked

Blazing flame magic: Blue flame of the creator!

A massive amount of blue flames burst out of his body and the red scales on his body turned blue.

"Burst!" He roared like a beast and the size of the sea of blue flames increased greatly and the power doubled as well.

Seeing the others give it their all Zaylee made up her mind. She knew that even if she took the chance to escape, Samael will still hunt her down and in a situation where Samael fails to kill them all, these people will join hands to hunt her down. The only thing she can do now is put away her fear and join hands with the other hosts and bring down this fallen archangel of the life element.

"Don't forget me!" She roared and waved her hands

"Lightning magic: Typhoon!!!' she roared and spat out a sea of lightly from her mouth.

The sea of lightning intertwined and twisted repeatedly until it took the form of a massive hurricane and flew towards the sea of golden divine flames.

"Swallow!"She roared and the size of the lightning hurricane doubled.

Booom!

Booom!!

Booooom!!!

The earth and sky shook fiercely as if it couldn't hold anymore as the combined attacks of the hosts of Aldemar smashed into the massive sea of divine flames which Samael released. The sea of golden divine flames shook and trembled and it looked like it could not stop the combined assault.

Even Samael was surprised by what he saw, he didn't expect these people to cooperate this well or even be at a level where their combined power can threaten his existence.

He inwardly cursed the injuries he sustained from his battle with the creator for putting him in such a condition. His eyes widened in shock as he waited for the worse to happen!

Booooom!!!

The sea of flames golden divine flames shattered and the combined power of the four hosts lashed at him.

"MERE MORTALS DARE CHALLENGE A GOD? YOU ALL MUST BE TIRED OF LIVING!" He roared and thrust his hands forward

"Life magic: Heaven's gate!" he roared and a majestic mountain-sized gate emerged and took in what was left of attacks! The gate trembled and visible cracks appeared on it, his star-like eyes darkened and he spat out a mouthful of blood, retreating by a few meters.

"Now!' Derik roared and turned into a beam of light and shot towards the heavens gate like a prehistoric beast before anyone else could follow.

"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. He grabbed onto the bones spear and flew towards the massive heavenly gate fearlessly.

"You damned archangel… not even the creator can save you today!" Ahika roared and chased after Derik

"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.

He raised the flaming blue broad sword and poured in more mana into it and the size of the blazing sword kept increasing until Ahika could no longer carry it, controlling it with his mind.

"Break!!!" Derik and Ahika screamed as the struck forward!

BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

PUTI!

The massive gate shattered and Samael spat out a mouthful of golden blood. He was yet to recover from this and his vision was still blurred when he saw the massive divine sword Cyrus controlled shooting towards him like a spear.

"One final push… everyone!!!" Derik roared  as he clasps his hands together

"Ooo condemned sole of the underworld, the one which led was led astray by the lord of light and the devout, where art thy gods? As the messenger of death who comes from the deepest parts of the underworld, I sentence thee to eternal damnation and rob thee of thy Freedom… Death magic: Death Bind!!!" Derik roared and a massive amount of death aura poured out of Derik's body and blocked Samael's escape path.

The death aura soon took the shape of a massive bone hand, grabbing on to Samael thereby preventing him from escaping Cyrus' attack!

"Everyone… through all, you've got at him… now!" Derik roared like an enraged dragon about to devour his greatest foe!
