131 Chapter 131: An epic end 1

"Mere mortals dare to stand in my way, hahaha! hahaha! You all must be tired of living!" Derik laughed with a crazed expression on his face and his hands throw above his head.

"Ha! This kid is arrogant!"

"Does he dare face us all alone?"

"He can brag in such a situation? This kid doesn't value his life!"

"It seems he has forgotten we have three hosts of guardian spirits on our side, does he think he can win?"

"Ha! Don't forget he lost against the host of the fire guardian spirit, Ahika! Where is he getting all this confidence from?"

Numerous silver realm warriors of the expedition troops belonging to the four kingdoms were displeased with Derik's actions and did not hold back, lashing out at him viciously with all the foul words they could think of at that moment.

"Hmph! Kids… Kill them all" Derik didn't even spare these people a glance and quickly instructed his death avatar to make a move.

Death magic: Shriek of the dead!

Screeeeeeeeeech!

The death avatar instantly let out an ear-piercing cry before casting its spell. Suddenly multiple massive darkish purple magic arrays appeared below the clouds and terrifying death aura floated around, tainting even the white clouds, turning them purple.

Death magic: Death shower!

Instantly, multiple massive flaming skulls which were the size of two to three full-grown men put together fell from the sky, raining down on everyone in the moonlight forest.

This was a large scale spell which could affect a very large area easily! This can only be done by warriors or mages at the peak grade of the silver realm, just a step away from the legendary gold realm!

"Ooo god… how does this kid have a peak grade silver realm monster serving him, Is this one of the treasures of the dungeon?"

"Ooo crap… he's not even planning to spare us! That damn kid!" An elf screamed as he ran for his life.

Meanwhile,

Derik paid no attention to these people and simply focused on his incantations with his eyes closed. He drew ancient symbols in the void with his hands.

"Death magic: Accursed gate of the underworld!" Derik's eyes suddenly yanked open and he roared.

His hands were clasped together as death aura poured out of his body and flowed into the void, instantly a massive ancient gate began taking shape and the symbols drawn earlier flew towards the gate that was still taking shape.

"Rise!" Derik roared

Bam!

After the massive gate took shape, it yanked open and released a terrifying amount of pure death aura which instantly stole the life force of the first set of warriors who were closest to it.

"Shadow Lurker, its time to serve your master… Go! Kill them all!!!" Derik roared as he drew in the souls of all the dead warriors and mages.

"Yes, master!" A deep voice echoed from within the gates and a pair of crimson red eyes appeared from nowhere. Instantly the shadow lurker shot out of the gate, straight into the nearest crowd of warriors present

"Monster! This kid is a monster! He has to die now!!!!!" Anna screamed as she quickly readied her two-handed massive magic broadsword.

"Great warriors and mages of the Gyro kingdom… Charge!" She roared and turned into a beam of light, shooting towards Derik like a beam of light.

Her massive sword was soon shrouded in terrifying red flames as she skillfully maneuvered through the flaming skulls and those she couldn't escape, the soldiers of the expedition troops below would join hands to attack it, in a bid to destroy it, creating a path for her.

Seeing Anna approaching, Derik's expression turned ugly and anger began boiling in his heart.

"This is the day you die at my hands, Kill her!" He roared

Screeeeeeeeech!

The death avatar let out a cry before shooting forward. In just a second, it appeared right in front of Anna with the massive black scythe in its hands.

Purgatory Slash!

Terrifying death energy poured into the scythe and it trembled greatly as it hacked down on her.

Boom!

Puff!

Seeing the incoming scythe, Anna didn't dare to waste any time, she instantly raised her flaming broadsword over her head in a bid to block the incoming attack but to her greatest surprise, the unexpected happened.

The scythe cleaved through the silver level magic weapon, completely severing her left hand from her body in one go.

"Princess!"

"Princess!!"

The soldiers screamed in panic as they watched the hand of the mighty princess of Gyro free fall to the ground and droplets of her hot blood sprinkle on them from above.

"Aaaaaaaaah!" Anna screamed in pain as she desperately tried to retreat, but the powerful hands of the death avatar lunged for her throat, getting hold of it while attempting to choke the life out of her.

Dragon flame magic: Dragons breath!

Yanking her lips open, a massive torrent of crimson red flames rolled out and completely consumed the death avatar. With this opportunity, Anna was able to free herself from the firm grip of the death avatar and widen the distance between them.

She looked up to the sky and saw Derik's eyes fixed on her, with a scornful smile on his face

"If this is the best the princess of the Gyro kingdom can do… them I am highly disappointed" Derik laughed.

His fiery darkish purple eyes burned so brightly that it even glowed fiercely during the day time, his death aura thickened greatly as he battle continued and Anna instantly knew this happened because of the numerous souls he has consumed so far.

At this point, these people already understood the way Derik's abilities work and why he has refused to leave. The appearance of the two peak grade silver level monsters on his side took everyone by surprise but the fact remains that if the battle continues, his death is imminent yet he chose to stay back.

The only answer to this is power, it became clear to everyone that he wishes to use the death of the thousands of soldiers here to gather enough power to break into the silver realm.

If not, why would he take such risk?

Why stay back?

Even Gerald felt a massive headache when he understood Derik's intentions, he is yet to command his forces to make a move against the death mage, simply because of his relationship with this kids family but now Derik has succeeded in taking the lives of so many members of the four kingdoms expedition troops, there is no going back. Even if the Gyro kingdom won't penalize him for not making a move, the other kingdoms will not let him live easy.

"Go…" Gerald muttered to Cyrus who also wore a frown on his face.

He turned to the other members of the adventurers association present and frowned.

"Block all escape routes… make sure he's unable to escape through that gate! Miracle adventurer team, help me suppress the beasts he summoned while the other hosts deal with him… move out, everyone!" He ordered.

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

Seeing Cyrus make a move, the various expedition troops of the other kingdoms started making their moves as well, they all sent the guardian spirit hosts on their team while the rest will focus on blocking all escape routes and suppressing Derik's death avatar and the shadow lurker.

Soon, three figures with terrifying energy comparable to Derik's rose into the air with strange expressions on their faces.

At this point, Derik knew the real battle was about to start and the smile on his face vanished as he prepared himself for the most difficult battle of his life so far!
