163 Chapter 163: Stunning team attack

Cyrus remained unfazed by Derik's words as he looked at the direction where Daemon flew to and he let out a long sigh

"Don't bother, my barrier reduced the damage she received significantly… she can handle herself" He said to Karl, Mason, and Kira who seemed to be worried when Daemon fell into the center of the chaotic battlefield.

"Child of life…" Cyrus muttered as he slowly levitated even higher until he rose to Derik's level and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Our relationship is quite weird when you think of it… we always try to kill each other, yet here we are… still friends…" Cyrus laughed casually.

A smile appeared on sincere Derik's face and his terrifying aura toned down a bit.

"That's because we are forced to fight each other and we always find ourselves in difficult positions… it's not something that can be helped" Derik answered sincerely.

He pushed his hair back with his left hand and focused his cold gaze on the barrier surrounding the royal palace.

"Can you step aside and call off the others… I wish to kill the king and the others and get this over with" Derik said with a charming smile on his face.

Hearing Derik talk about killing the king so calmly as if it was as simple as taking a lollipop from a child, everyone present almost spat out blood in anger. Even though the king was a schemer and a scam, the man still had enough strength to back up his position. Even though the king and Robert were at the peak grade of the silver realm, everyone knew that Gerald cannot defeat the man in a one on one battle due to his special path.

"Sorry, I can't do that… apart from the king the others you wish to kill comprise of the family members of everyone in the royal guard, yours and mine included… why do you think everyone is risking their lives against you? Just agree to let this go and I will help you beat the crap out of the little king and make him and the other nobles involved confess and apologize in public… the Gyro kingdom will be more than happy to receive someone as powerful as you into their ranks…" Cyrus white eyes let out a faint glow as he spoke with a charming smile on his face.

Hearing this the charming smile on Derik's face vanished and his visage turned cold. His death aura burst out of his body and increased immensely and his fangs were made visible.

"Tell me… will these people who stand behind you pay for their crimes? They joined hands to speak against me just for some benefits… if you were in my position will you make such a request…" Derik roared while tightening his grip on his death scythe.

Seeing this Cyrus' snow-white eyes narrowed and his massive divine sword levitated and appeared above his head. His divine aura began rising until his figure was completely shrouded in golden light.

At one side was a bright dazzling golden light and on the other side was pitch black darkness spreading like a plague.

"I'm making this offer for your own good… Even if you defeat me and the other members of the team do you really believe you can defeat Kalos? I'm just looking out for you… I don't want to see you dead, that's all… Don't misunderstand my intentions!" Cyrus said calmly within the dazzling golden light.

"I see… I'm sorry but it seems we must cross blades a second time!" Derik said with a bitter smile on his face.

At this point, Cyrus' power level was not inferior to that of Derik in any way. He too performed a similar technique just like Derik, drawing life force from all the members of the Gyro kingdom just to increase his own strength!

........

"Low grade of the silver realm! How do they do it… it's like some sort of cheat" Anna who was standing beside King Robert blurted out with a frown on her face.

When Derik was at the bronze realm, he was able to raise his power level by a whole realm! Enabling him to fight foes at the silver realm with ease. These kids easily surpassed masters and elite who have been training for years, she found this unfair!

Even though she gained her current cultivation base through the use of numerous precious materials, it still took her close to fifteen years but these kids with no resources reached and surpassed her in less than a decade! She finally understood why the continent has joined hands repeatedly over the years to wipe out the guardian spirit hosts! If these kids keep showcasing terrifying talents, history might repeat itself.

John and Linda watched Derik's performance with clutched fists and mixed emotions visible in their eyes. At this point, they began regretting their decision and could only submit to Derik without any form of resistance. The youth out there right now, fighting fiercely just to break into the royal palace just to kill them all can not be the same Derik they have known since he was little! The vicious smiles and sinister laughter sent chills to the deepest parts of their soul. In their eyes, this was the grim reaper, a being they can never escape!

.........

Boooom!

Derik shot towards Cyrus with endless murderous intentions and his death scythe raised high in the air. If he could take out this man from the picture, the only one he needs to worry about now is Kalos, the kingdom guardian.

"Not even close!" Cyrus said with a casual smile and simply waved his hands.

Instantly, the massive divine sword which was the size of a small mountain instantly twirled in mid-air and hacked down at Derik, threatening to split him in two.

"You should know by now that you cannot kill me!" Derik laughed

Death magic: purgatory slash!

Derik's hands trembled as death aura violently busted out of his death scythe and he struck up!

Booom!

Even though the death mage was known for his outstanding physical capabilities as well as destructive power, he was sent flying by Cyrus' attack. His hand wielding the death scythe was twisted with numerous torn flesh with black blood leaking out of each hole in his hand.

Before he could recover a blue blur appeared above him with a magic sword that released terrifying blue energy.

"Hey… its been too long since we last spoke" Gin muttered with a friendly smile.

The terrifying blue aura soon spiked and rose to a level where Gin was shrouded in it! He brandished HSS weapon at Derik, releasing a terrifying wave of energy attack at the death mage!

This was a strike with the intention to kill!

Even Derik could sense the murderous intentions behind Gin's attack and a frown appeared on his face. His right hand wielding the death scythe was still suffered from severe injuries so he couldn't use it!

Having no other way to counter this attack, Derik threw his death aura encased left hand at the blue beam.

Crack!

"Aaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhh!" Derik roared out in pain as he felt the bones in his left-hand shatter.

He was blasted into the ground by the enormous beam of blue energy and his vision blurred for a moment. This was something he wasn't expecting, who would have thought that these guys who only have a power level of low grade of the silver realm will be bold enough to interfere with a battle between two gold realm opponents. Because of this, he let his guard down and he's paying for it now!

Wooosh!

A man with fluttering golden hair appeared in Derik's line of sight! On his hand was a magic bow with three golden arrows that radiated of holy energy!

Bam!

Bam!

"Bastard!" Derik blurted out as he tried to move but it was too late.

Two holy arrows pierced into his arms, thereby pinning him to the ground. Luckily, his death scythe reacted on time, deflecting that last arrow that aimed at his temple.

"Crap! Don't you dare get involved in this Mason!" Derik roared like an injured beast

"I'm sorry…" Mason muttered and he vanished from Derik's of sight.

"Blood magic: Blood sea" Karl's stern voice echoed in Derik's and a raging tidal sea came into view.

Derik's visage instantly turned ugly as he struggled to break free from holy arrows but the dazzling golden light around it brightened even more and Derik felt like his hands were burning.

Booom!

Booom!!

The raging blood sea crashed down on Derik in an instant! At this point, Derik felt like his bones were crushed and he could feel and hear the sound of cracking bones. The raging blood sea swept across a portion of the capital, forcibly dragging Derik along while consuming other members of the military and adventurers association caught on the way.

No matter how much Derik attempted to swim against the current he still couldn't escape the blood sea.

"It's over! Blood and Fire magic: Scorching sea of blood!" Karl and Kira's voice echoed and the sea of blood was set ablaze. In an instant, a sea of blood became a sea of scorching flames with Derik at the center!
