156 Chapter 156: Death meets nature 1

"I agree… it's been too long Derik... How have you been?" Scott walked towards Derik with a casual smile on his face. It looked as if he was having a reunion with an old friend.

"I didn't think you will survive the royal family's cruel attack… you have also made a name for yourself and somehow retained your senses… if my little sis did not fall into bedevilment I probably wouldn't have hurt her" Francis said with a casual smile on his face.

While these people spoke, Derik simply ignored them and focused his attention on the surrounding. From the power he could feel from Francis' body, he could tell that the nature mage was at the peak grade of the silver realm and he was no ordinary mage. Just like Derik, other guardian spirit hosts have the ability to battle foes at a higher realm, meaning that Derik's usual advantage over other foes will not aid him this time.

He also realized that Francis held back that night when he died for the first time. He thought he somehow overpowered the silver realm nature mage but now his understanding of the true power guardian spirit hosts possess, he realized he was only daydreaming. How can recruit who has not undergone refinement defeat a silver realm nature mage, a host of the nature guardian spirit!

Impossible!

Pushing that thought aside, he turned his attention to Scott, Brian, Lucas, and Rolan. A decade ago, he was too weak to sense their power level but now he finally realized how strong they were. Scott and Brian were at the low grade of the silver realm in terms of strength back then, while Lucas and Rolan should be at the bronze realm at that time. But now, he could tell that Lucas and Rolan had power comparable to silver realm experts, meaning that Scott and Brian should only be slightly inferior to Francis if not on par with him.

Clank!

Clank!!

Clank!!!

Sounds of metal armors, metal weapons and numerous footsteps resonated from everywhere. The small troops under the control of the Lockwood family decided to join the battle!

The massive gate yanked open and the troop's station in this small town also rushed in. Just by looking at the crowd he could tell they were at least over five hundred people present. Mostly bronze realm warriors and mages, while the silver realm experts and elites amongst them were not even up to five.

How dare these people to challenge him with such a pitiful force?

They must be tired of living!

Even though the general strength of Briton's military force was weak to Derik, it still didn't stop him from commending this town. He didn't think the overall military force of this little town was up to three hundred soldiers.

Fortunately for them, Derik didn't come here to slaughter people. After attaining the power of the sin of wrath, Derik's rage was focused now, all he wanted was the head of the members of the royal family and the noble families at the capital, there is no reason for him to wipe out the whole kingdom for this. By the way, these people will soon become his subordinates after this is over, so why kill them off?

"Francis… I'm here to take the king and wipe out a reasonable portion of the royal family and the nobles of this kingdom… care to join me?" Derik laughed as he spoke.

"Why should I help you… do you think a death mage like you is worthy to lead this kingdom?" Francis sneered. He obviously did not buy Derik's idea.

Why should he help the bringer of death wipe out the royal family and take control of the kingdom?

Does he think he has what it takes to be king?

Francis' figure left the ground and slowly levitated into the air. His body was covered in a green halo and his aura kept rising.

"The last time we fought I was unwilling to take your life because I didn't want you to suffer the same fate as my sister… that's why I always tried to suppress your abilities… but now things have changed Derik. You are a grown man and can take responsibility for your actions… Don't blame me for been ruthless kid… I won't hold back this time" Francis said casually.

"Everyone keep your distance, I will battle the death mage now and put an end to this farce… If you wish to aid me, don't rush in carelessly… Search for openings before you strike… remember, every shot counts" Francis said.

Hearing his words, Derik just laughed casually and threw his hands open as if he was asking them to take the first shot. He was actually taunting them! Yet they were not enraged, these people were quite sure that Derik has the strength to back up his arrogant character, they saw no reason to scold him.

"We will leave it to you then…" Scott said with a casual smile. He dared not utilize his werewolf abilities in front of the military. He also knew that the small branch of the holy church in Briton will arrive soon, should they realize what he is, the Lockwood family will be wiped out alongside the death mage. He waved his hand, signally the other members of the family to retreat into the castle.

"You still hide in the shadows… You still refuse to let the world know what you are… how sad… Don't worry, I will tear down this government with my hands and let special beings like you live freely amongst humans" Derik said indifferently as he watched the members of the Lockwood family retreat.

He knew the Gyro kingdom has a special force under its command which is made up of only supernatural beings but even then, this force is hidden and not allowed to mingle with others. They are been isolated from the outside world and Derik was not happy about this.

Who says there is no such thing as a perfect world?

Derik at this point was determined to build a perfect world with his strength, which he will watch over as its guardian. All he needs is power, enough power to show the creator his middle finger and ask it to piss off.

Enough power to crush the looming threat with his bare hands and scare all his foes away, forcing them into submission. But first, he is going to start with Gyro, then the kingdom and then this world. Many will probably call his goal a fantasy but then he is more than willing to prove them wrong.

Derik ascended into the air with his arms wrapped around his chest and a prideful smile on his face.

"I will make you submit, even if I have to beat the crap out of you," Derik said casually

"Death…" Derik muttered and his death avatar appeared right beside him in an instant. It looked like a guardian angel, as its massive pair of black wings folded above Derik's head, shielding him from the rays of the sun

Screech!.

It released an ear-piercing screech that made the souls of everyone who heard it tremble. This served as a warning to all those who bare ill intentions for its master, warning them to back off or face its wrath!

"Well then… Lets begin" A smile blossomed on Derik's face when he saw Francis' expression turn sour!
