170 Chapter 170: Death of a cosmic spirit host!

Hearing Derik's words, a sincere smile appeared on Kalos' face which was full of wrinkles and his body straightened a bit. He flicked his index finger and with a simple hand gesture, he tore the void and created a small passageway to another dimension!

[Didn't this old man say that the spatial cosmic spirit rejected him? How can he tear a hole in the void so easily? How can he create godly tools like the storage ring with just limited knowledge of the spatial element? How can he create amazing barriers and formations with just the basic knowledge of the spatial element? Doesn't that mean if he received the blessing and approval of the cosmic spirit, he would have become a terrifying beast?] Derik thought as he watched Kalos work.

He couldn't help to remember his encounter with sun cosmic spirit host, a member of the three heroes of legend Kaido, who possesses the sun element. His abilities were so intimidating that Derik had to flee!

All these while Derik has thought back on the battle, he realized that the young man utilized only one combat technique throughout the battle. The others were skillful manipulation of his sun aura!

People may claim that the sun guardian knight was hurt bad in the battle between him and the death mage in Cato and it was not necessarily false but Derik knew the only reason he was able to deal that much damage to the sun guardian knight was simply because of his jovial and carefree attitude. If the orange-haired youth fought him with the intention to kill, Derik knew he probably wouldn't have been able to escape the man's scorching wrath! By the way, his scorching sun abilities put Ahika's blazing fire abilities to shame.

In summary, Derik finally understood why cosmic spirits were more powerful than guardian spirits. Guardian spirits were restricted to the abilities of the creator and simply specialized in raising the power level of its hosts by leaps and bounds, thereby allowing them to face stronger opponents. But cosmic spirits are quite different! Their abilities are strange and unique, always something out of this world and completely unpredictable! Not everyone can easily understand the true power behind these spells and the sheer power of those spells are simply overwhelming. It's not something people can contend with! Their power level may not rise but they can always defeat people above their levels quite easily.

"Damn!" Derik muttered as he watched Kalos pull a small dagger out of the void.

The dagger had a silver hilt and a silver blade with glowing dragon carving on it. It released an aura resembling that of weapons at the top grade of the silver level. This could be considered a top tier silver level magic weapon!

At this moment, Kalo's aura which was calm and peaceful suddenly changed and became vicious and terrifying! Even Derik was slightly startled by the sudden change!

"Because I want you to take my life does not mean I'll let you have it so easily, young death mage… I only hope you won't die easily at my hand's little death mage!" Kalos laughed as multiple dazzling silver stars formed over a hundred portals, a thousand meters around the death mage, making it hard for him to see anything else!

"Spatial magic: Infinite space realm!" Kalos muttered as he dived into a portal and vanished. After that, only silence followed.

The numerous portals and sudden change in aura caught the attention of everyone in the capital and they quickly left the barrier and focused their attention on the battle between the death mage who has showcased his terrifying prowess since day one and has also dominated so many powerful foes, even defeating his own rival! A man meant to possess his natural weakness and the spatial mage who has held the title Kingdom guardian for more than a century! A man so powerful that no other kingdom dared to threaten Gyro and even the holy church had to treat this man with respect!

This is a battle between the old generation and the new generation!

A battle between a cosmic spirit and a guardian spirit!

This is the kind of battle that only happens in a century!

Everyone present was nervous and the held their breath, they all knew the implications, if the death mage lost this battle. Since they all publicly showed their discontent against the royal family and the king, should Kalos win, they will share the same gruesome fate as the death mage.

Who would have thought a day will come when the Gyro kingdom would look up to the same death mage they condemned and pray he survives this once in a lifetime encounter!

...............…

A devilish grin appeared on King Roberts face the moment he saw Kalos use the infinite space realm, it simply indicated that the spatial mage was taking this fight seriously and it is safe to say that no one has ever survived this technique. With this, it's only a matter of time before the death mage dies off at the hands of superior magic!

"I must confess, you truly surpassed my expectations young death mage but do you really think you can battle the spatial mage Kalos, who has held the title of Kingdom guardian for over a century? Hahahahaha! You will know why no kingdom dared to mess with him! (cough!) (cough!) get me wine!" Robert spoke as he has already won the battle!

Hearing this the other nobles present heaved out a sigh of relief, while the faces of John and Linda turned pale. They could tell that the king was not bluffing when he spoke! If he was that confident in this particular technique, Kalos was planning to use, then it must be something dangerous! They could only pray that Derik will find a way to overcome this threat.

...............…

"Derik… I advise you to rely on your werewolf ability this time… remember what is told you about this technique… you must protect your head and heart at all times!" Demos' voice rang in Derik's head like a bell and he could only shake his head in approval.

His fiery darkish purple eyes lit up and his fangs and claws appeared. Instantly Derik's body was engulfed in a thick layer of darkish purple flames and he was planning to release his death aura but from the corner of his eyes, he saw a silver light glow from one of the portals and before he could react completely he felt a sharp pain around his left arm!

Puff!

Derik's left arm swung helplessly as it has been severed by Kalos with a single attack. If not for the fact his werewolf side grants him higher perception and reaction speed, it would have been his head!

"PROTECT ME!" Derik roared in pain!

Instantly undead Zaylee and Sternroff swung into action by releasing their magic aura, creating a chaotic barrier around the space not occupied by Kalos infinite space realm. Derik fell into the body chest area of his ten-meter tall demonic wolf, using its body as a shield while using his death magic to manifest a shadow hand that grabbed onto his severed hand and pulled it back to the injured Derik!

"He's fast!" Derik muttered as he placed his hand back to its normal position and held on to it there, waiting for the healing effect of his werewolf ability to take place. Derik quickly began urging his death aura again and before he could get a release his death aura again, he caught a glimpse of a silver light emitting from another portal.

Derik quickly ducked to the side within the body of his demonic wolf!

Puff!

The demonic wolf's chest was torn in two and a gash was visible on Derik's chest, from it black blood rolled out. His eyes were showed how frustrated he had become and a hint of excitement as well. These were two conflicting emotions and Derik wasn't really sure how he could feel both at the same time but then again, it was already happening so he didn't bother thinking about it.

His death aura is capable of rotting anything! If he's to set up a domain with his death aura, he would be able to easily defeat Kalos and steal the man's soul. At least that was his plan until he realized how skilled the man is.

Each time he tried to release the aura, Kalos always jumped out of the portal at a crucial moment, when he is not completely focused on his body and attempt to deal a killing blow with his silver level magic weapon! But due to Derik's incredible werewolf perception and reaction speed, he has always been able to escape life-threating blows from Kalos twice!

Derik felt excited because he finally understood how the man's ability works but he also felt frustrated because he didn't know how to handle it. He always felt it was stupid for Kalos to dive out of the portal and attack with his magic dagger, but seeing the insane speed of which he moves, Derik had to confess that this man had little reason to fear for his life, it will be difficult to find anyone capable of keeping up with this mans movement speed. Unfortunately for him, Derik was not a normal mage!

A vicious grin soon appeared on Derik's face and his aura turned wild instantly. His darkish purple eyes suddenly turned blue and the hair on his head stood up! His voice deepened and his shoulders broadened!

His demonic avatar and undead slaves suddenly vanished, completely withdrawn! This completely startled everyone, including Kalos!

Why did the man just withdraw his only form of defense?

Was he tired of living?

What is he thinking?

That was the problem! Derik was not thinking at this moment, he simply chose to follow his instincts!

Woooosh!

Derik shot down suddenly like a spear, heading towards the portals below him, with a vicious grin on his face and readied claws!

What did he have to fear?

He already knew that these portals were linked to each other and if he could enter this space, he will most likely encounter Kalos hiding in there and watching like a predator. Right there the speed boost he gets when been shot out of the portal won't count and Derik can easily overwhelm him with his own strength!

Kalos gritted his teeth as he clearly understood what Derik was planning to do. This was a gamble that can be made by someone who was only relying on his instincts! That explained why Derik switched off his other abilities and simply relied on his werewolf abilities alone.

His eyes narrowed as he was forced to act in ways he never expected. The portals below Derik began to close one after the other as soon as he got close to them. It became obvious that the spatial mage did not want him to intrude on his special space…

This made Derik even more confident in his plan as he dove down at a quicker speed. He had nothing to lose, even if he could not enter the portals he would be able to escape the encirclement and freely attack the portals from outside.

But things never turn out the way we expect it….

When only a final portal remained, a silver light shot out and Kalos appeared with his glowing dagger, flying towards Derik fearlessly!

A vicious grin appeared on Derik's face as he revealed his claws, showing he was not planning to back off either!

Boooom!

Both figures blew past each other leaving behind a small shockwave that stunned the viewers!

Fearless!

Reckless!!

Wild!!!

These are the words that best described the death mage and the spatial mage in this situation! Kalos had a deep set of claw marks on his shoulder while Derik's waist was almost severed completely! Luckily he was wise enough not to completely focus on the offensive, if not he would have been split in two.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!' Derik's laughter shook the world and people began wondering how this kid could laugh in such a condition, does it really mean he doesn't feel pain?

Even though Derik suffered greatly from the clash, he was still able to break free from the confinement meaning he was free to act as he wished!

His terrifying blazing darkish purple eyes returned and his aura skyrocketed. He gathered his energy and spat out a massive cloud of death aura towards the numerous portals that filled the sky.

"Move for me!" Derik hissed as he watched Kalos closely while holding onto his waist with his hands while free falling. It was obvious he was in pain.

Just like as he expected, Kalos figure vanished in one of the portals and a bright smile appeared on Derik's face. Since all the portals in the sky were been attacked by the cloud of death magic, Derik knew Kalos will not appear above. In fact, now that Derik has been extremely weakened, it is only rational for the spatial mage to attempt to finish him off, meaning he should be appearing….

Behind!

Just as Derik expected a massive portal appeared behind him and Kalos appeared, with his magic dagger equipped and determination in his eyes. He struck forward, this time he was aiming for Derik's head but to his greatest surprise his final blow struck the black robes of the death avatar and its fiery darkish purple eyes glowed even brighter.

"Death magic: Touch of death!" The death avatars' voice sounded mechanical as usual.

Instantly Kalos felt a force attack his mental fortitude and he quickly tried to repel it but it was already too late. A second was all Derik needed!

"Silver level secret technique: Brilliant claw!" Derik almost spat fire as he roared.

Terrifying death aura burst out of his claws and he skillfully moved past the death avatar in mid-air and quickly severed Kalos' head from his body with a single strike!

The spatial mage who was has remained undefeated for more than a century died at the hands of the death mage all because he neglected the existence of the death mages companion who hid, waiting for the perfect moment to strike!
