167 Chapter 167: Kalos appears! 2

Derik's eyes narrowed as he saw a familiar face, one which didn't leave a good impression on him the first time they met. To think two cosmic spirit hosts will appear at the same time just to deal with him, the situation had turned worse than Derik ever imagined!

He completely forgot about Kuen's existence!

Kalos had extremely long gray hair which fluttered in the wind as he stood in mid-air, gallantly staring down at Cyrus' unconscious body. His silver long sleeve mage robe covered all parts of his body, only his wrinkled old palms were revealed.

Kuen had his blazing red hair pushed back and tied, into a ponytail. He wore a tight black shirt and black trousers, covering it up with a massive sleeveless red coat which reached the ankles of his feet. Just like Kalos, his eyes were void of any color and only darkness could be seen. It was as vast as space and for some reason, Derik felt like the being residing inside this kid can wipe the floor with Demos any day anywhere!

Even though the kid's power level is at the mid-grade of the silver realm and Derik's is at the low grade of the gold realm, Derik still felt threatened by his presence and at a point, he began doubting his own abilities. He wondered if he could beat this kid alone, not to speak of taking him on and the spatial mage as well.

"You see, I wasn't sure I could beat you alone, considering my age and rusty bones… so I brought along my student and his peers to give me a hand in this battle… It's really sad for me to see a genius like yourself fall into the wrong path and derail from justice" Kalos said calmly.

"Humph! I didn't expect Kuen to be amongst the people who would stand against me today… To be honest I completely forgot about his existence and that of his little group… It doesn't matter, increasing the number of people meant to die today by seven won't hurt this kingdom much" Derik sneered

Hearing this, Kuen and his arrogant teammates laughed mockingly and prepared to speak but they were stopped by Kalos.

"Don't bother young master Kuen, he is not your opponent… the power of death and life does not follow the laws of nature… if you and your team battle him alone… you will fall faster than the royal guards below us" Kalos said

Hearing this, Kuen and the other six members of his team were shocked. They were so focused on Derik when they arrived that they forgot that the royal guards went ahead of them to battle this beast! They quickly looked down and saw the unconscious and brutally battered bodies of the royal guards on the ground and this left them speechless.

A bead of cold sweat rolled down their faces when the spotted the ten-meter deep crater where the legendary mage of the life element laid, unconscious. Even if they remained arrogant and claimed to be stronger than the royal guards, none of them could deny the strength of this life mage who single-handedly beat the crap out of kuen and the members of his team without using his path just a few years ago!

To think an elite team would be defeated by a single man, this death mage must truly be the messenger of the underworld, bringer of death! They revaluated their view of the death mage and quickly put themselves on guard. The fear and anxiety they felt flowed like an invisible wave and flew straight into Derik's body, gradually increasing his power even more.

"Isn't there a way we can resolve this and move forward? Do we really need to shed more blood here?" Kalos frowned as he spoke, showing elderly concern for the dead.

"Of course!" Derik laughed "Let me walk in there, kill the King and the princess Anna, and I will be on my way" Derik said with a broad smile.

Hearing this, Kalos frowned slightly and let out a dry laugh. This is not a condition he can easily agree to. As the kingdom guardian, his duty is to protect the king and the kingdom. Even though the king was wrong, he couldn't go against him at this time! Even if he could abandon the kid, the youth that calls him master and bears a cosmic spirit in him is the last son of the King, he owed it to this kid to at least try and save his old man.

"I'm sorry, I must refuse such a generous offer… it's my duty to safeguard the king and in this hour of need I will try my best to fulfill that duty!" Kalos said in a serious tone and countless stars began appearing in his eyes.

He opened his palm and a galaxy of dazzling white stars appeared.  Clasping his hands together, the stars flew out, attempting to surround Derik and his demonic minions but a powerful surge of death aura burst out and quickly shattered one of the stars, thereby breaking the formation. Rendering the spell useless!

Seeing this, Kalos' eyes narrowed and old fists clutched. Truly the death element is quite terrifying, using sheer power to destroy his teleportation formation which was meant to move himself and his team coupled with Derik and some members of his team to a remote and deserted place where they can fight to their heart's content without worrying about those been harmed by the residual energy of their attacks.

"I guess this battle will be a lot more difficult than I expected… to think you can easily power through my technqiues… I may need your help Kuen!" Kalos said with his usual thoughtful yet friendly expression.

"Cut the crap, I know your true power! Why do you still hide, stop holding back and fight me all you've got!" Derik roared and his terrifying death aura poured out which scared Kuen's teammates

"Go… kill all those standing behind them and then destroy the barrier surrounding the palace!" Derik sneered!
