"Who are you?" Derik asked with an indifferent look on his face
He gently flew towards Kaido with an indifferent look on his face, probably trying to show the world that he is not afraid of the youth in front of him. His gaze was cold and a smile appeared on his face as he got really close to Kaido.
The two-handed broadsword which levitated by Kaido's side twirled for a while before shooting forward towards Derik at an astonishing speed. The broadsword had a golden hilt that had the image of the sun on it. Its blade radiated undiluted scorching hit as it approached, making Derik feel uncomfortable.
At this point, Derik could tell that this man was not as simple as every other person and whenever he looked at the man, it seemed as if the man was shrouded in mystery.
This is a person he couldn't see through!
"Don't get too cocky!" Derik sneered and his death scythe trembled!
It quivered greatly and death aura diffused from it as it shot forward to meet the golden broadsword!
Boooom!!!
The shockwave which exploded from the attack was enough to make Derik's soul tremble and his hair flutter. He felt a sharp pain and black blood slid down his lips as his death scythe return to his side.
As his death scythe was a blessed weapon which he can control with his mind alone, his soul was linked to the weapon thereby making him suffer a great deal whenever his blade is significantly damaged.
"That's an interesting weapon you got there… what level is it at?" Derik asked.
"Yours is quite interesting as well… mine is a gold level growth type magic weapon, and yours?" Kaido asked with a friendly smile on his face.
"Its obviously at the silver level… My realm is too low to use a gold level weapon… It's also a growth type magic weapon" Derik said casually
"I see… I am guessing this is one of the treasures of the sky rift?" Kaido asked.
"Of course…" Derik laughed
"So… it's safe to assume that all the items you acquired are solely meant for someone who cultivates the death magic?" Kaido asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I guess you can say that" Derik said with closed eyes and a wide smile
"Can I see them?" Kaido laughed
"Nope!" Derik replied
Boom!
Derik's body shot back like a comet, crashing into a building below. The charming smile never left his face as he pushed off the derbies on him while staring at Kaido who was approaching like a spear.
Whooosh!
Bam!!
Derik was prepared for his arrival for some time now, coupled with his enhanced physical abilities which allowed him to skillfully duck to the side in a bid to evade Kaido's punch while retaliating with a punch of his own, all at the same time.
By the time Kaido could react, Derik's fist smashed into his golden armor forcing him to take a few steps back. A massive smile bloomed on his face as he dashed forward once again to meet Derik with his fists.
Bam!
Bam!!
Boooom!!!
Derik's body burst out of the previous building and smashed into a new one. Black blood rolled down his forehead and he kept on spitting out a mouth full of black blood and struggled to get on his feet. But then…
Boooom!!!
Kaido's body shot towards him like a meteor and before he could regain his balance and prepare for the attack, Kaido's fist smashed into his face, sending him flying out of the building and crashing into the ground.
Puti!
Derik spat out a mouthful of black blood once again while trying to get on his feet. His darkish purple fiery eyes had dimmed considerably and his body was covered in black blood. Be could barely stand on his feet!
Though out this battle, he has only been able to throw three punches and to his greatest surprise, the orange-haired guy's armor felt softer than his face. When he hit Kaido's face, he felt like he punched an ancient wall that has not been moved for over a century.
"Hahaha! You are indeed interesting… You are a mage yet you know how to throw a punch… you truly are something!" Kaido laughed.
"Hahaha! I haven't met someone capable of overpowering me physically… yet you were able to beat the crap out of me… You must be a silver realm guardian knight" Derik said with a weak smile on his face
"Well… to think you are so dumb as not to check your foes cultivation realm… well, I'll introduce myself. I'm Kaido, one of the three heroes of legend…. A gold realm master!" Kaido said with a hint of pride on his face.
"Gold level…" Derik stuttered for a while.
He thought that level has always been a dream for everyone. Even now he believed that the person with the highest cultivation base in this continent is at the peak grade of the silver realm. His eyes were heavy and he was dazed for a while by the revelation he just received.
Derik swaggered around the Cato kingdom because he knew even without taking off his limiters or relying on any external source of power, he can deeply trouble even the strongest warriors and mages at the peak grade of the silver realm. Taking off his limiters will only allow him to toy with them.
Derik was only able to beat the priest of the holy church easily because he could tell that the wingman priest just broke into the peak grade of the silver realm. His mastery over his guardian spirit path is was not yet profound, that explains why his divine weapon was nowhere as strong as that of Cyrus!
"What are the three heroes of legend stuff you speak of?" Derik asked with a frown on his face
"You haven't heard of us? Have you been living under a rock for the past five years?" Kaido seemed to be stunned by Derik's question. He failed to understand how the famous death mage didn't know about the three heroes of legend!
