Bang!
Derik's body slammed onto the strong, cold ground and his vision instantly blurred. He used the last bit of his power and will to execute the final strike on Kalos, leaving him drained both mentally and spiritually. At this point, his lower half has almost been severed and his body kept twitching due to pain.
"Damn it!" Derik hissed as he lazily crawled towards Kalos severed head with a gloomy expression on his face!
.........…....
Silence!
Respect!
Even though the death mage was currently in a weakened state. In fact, he's condition was than that of anyone present here, no one had the thought to take advantage of him. Instead, they all stepped aside and made way for him, not daring to block his path! Their eyes were watery, brimming with respect and pride as they watched the victor of the fight move to claim his prize!
At this point, they all felt a strong urge to clap in respect of these man's deeds but that didn't mean they weren't afraid of him.
While the members of the adventurers association popped out their chests in pride, the members of the military force backed away with awkward expressions on their faces, only hoping the death mage will consider their change of heart and spare their lives. Even though the death mage was currently a mess, no one here was confident of taking him on.
...................
"How… How am I still alive? How am I able to move? And how the hell am I healing from this? I can see my organs and it doesn't look pretty!" Derik muttered.
He was very much aware that the physical capabilities of a werewolf. He was pretty sure that an alpha will most likely die from lesser wounds and injuries. The fact that he is still able to move in this condition came as a shock to him, and what even shocked him more was his regeneration speed. He realized his healing capabilities far surpasses that of a werewolf as well.
"It because you are no longer human! Just like Cyrus and other guardian spirit hosts, your body physique changed and the more powerful you become, the stronger you become… I hate to say this but if you should engage in sexual intercourse with a female of your species, chances are your offsprings will be similar to the wingmen race, just with black wings and dark magic" Demos laughed. It seemed as if the angel of death was totally pleased with the outcome of the battle.
Derik rolled his eyes and struggled to get on his feet. At that moment the smile on his face froze and it was soon replaced by rage!
This startled everyone around him!
What could anger the death mage so quickly?
"YOU DARE!!!" Derik roared as he threw his hands into the air and it looked like he was holding on to something.
At this moment everyone noticed the faint white ball of powerful light which looked like it was been dragged away by an unknown force! Even Derik's intervention could not stop it! He could only slow down the process a bit!
"YOU ARE COURTING DEATH! BASTARD! SHOW YOURSELF!!!" Derik roared!
A foreign being was struggling with the death mage over the ownership of Kalo's soul! The power tussle was fierce and the death mage seemed to be on the losing side!
Puti!
Derik's face lost all its color as he spat out a mouthful of black blood. His body trembled but his gaze remained cold as he kept staring at the empty space above, clearly not willing to let go of his prize!
"Bastard! Show yourself!" Derik roared like a ferocious beast as he kept spitting out black blood. More blood rolled down from every opening on his body and in less than a minute Derik was standing in a small pool of his black blood!
This was a terrifying scene to behold!
Everyone present was shocked as they failed to understand how the almighty death mage was reduced to a bloody waste in just a minute! Who possessed enough power to struggle with the disciple of the Angel of death!
Swooooosh!
The space behind Derik tore open and a young man in his early thirties stepped out of it. His eyes were the same as Derik's and his massive black wings stole everyone's attention, leaving them in a daze!
"You cosmic spirits seem to be full of yourselves! You dare harm my disciple? You must be tired of living!" Demos roar literarily shook the space and skies!
He threw his hand towards the clouds and pulled the void! Instantly, Kalos' soul which was now close to the clouds began descending slowly. Seeing this Derik turned around to see Demos before letting out a weak laugh…
"Demos! Does a mere guardian spirit dare challenge me? The lord of space itself!" A hoarse voice resonated from the skies which made the souls of all those who heard it tremble in fear!
"Hahahahaha! Dumb shit… Death fears no one… now let go!" Demos laughed and two darkish purple fiery beams shot out of his eyes, heading straight to the skies!
After the beam of light entered the clouds, the force grabbing onto Kalos' soul loosened its grip and the soul eagerly flew into Derik's body.
"The guardian spirit of the death element has stolen from me today! I will not forget this!" The hoarse voice appeared again, but this time it sounded like it was in pains.
"You imprinted your power into a soul already bearing the soul imprint of the creator… I didn't steal from you… I only took what belongs to my master!" Demos hissed, revealing his perfect set of teeth
He quickly ignored the voice from thereon and turned his attention to the weakened Derik. A streak of condensed darkish purple cloud escaped his palm and quickly flew into Derik's body.
"I thought guardian spirits are not supposed to interfere with the activities of mortals?" Derik smiled weakly as he slowly digested the death energy which Demos sent into his body. Gradually regaining his strength!
"The spatial cosmic spirit went out of line by trying to steal your loot… it is obviously aware of your necromancer path and doesn't want to see an undead Kalos, utilizing its abilities… Since it's the matter has gone beyond that of these mortals, I decided to step in" Demos said with a natural smile on his face.
Derik simply nodded. He wished the angel of death would be kind enough to just fire a death ray at the holy church branch in the capital but just like he predicted, Demos instantly vanished without saying another word…
"Useless prick…" Derik cursed under his breath
"I can hear you…" Demos voice rang in his head instantly, giving him a slight headache
"I know!" Derik quickly retorted!
While this happened, every other person stood there silently, filled with fear and admiration. The guardian spirit of the death element, went out of his way just to aid its disciple! This showed that the relationship between Derik and his guardian spirit was not as simple as they thought! Even Cyrus was stunned by this.
He was opportune to witness the battle between Derik and Kalos and the power tussle between Derik and the spatial cosmic spirit! Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Demos would step out and reveal himself to the people of Gyro, just to aid Derik! He wasn't really sure his guardian spirit Michael will do the same thing for him! At this point, he became a bit envious about Derik's relationship with his guardian spirit and silently cursed Michael.
"Was that the guardian spirit of the death element?"
"I heard guardian spirits are incredibly strong, why couldn't I feel its aura or check its cultivation base?"
"Ha! Do you dare try to investigate the angel of death? You must be tired of living! Its cultivation base must be way above yours, that's why you couldn't see it… the difference between you guys is like heaven and earth, don't bother!"
"How did the death mage, befriend death?"
"Can you listen to yourself? You sound incredibly stupid!"
"But isn't that guy a bit too handsome to be called death, I was expecting a really scary person"
"Yea… to think such a handsome person is managing the underworld… sighs"
A lot of people were still stunned by what they just witnessed and they began talking nonsense! During this time, Derik sat down in a cross-legged position as he slowly digested the energy he gained from Demos while creating a new body for the soul he recently acquired.
............…
Within his incomplete domain, Derik frowned while he stared at the little soul the size of a fist, flying around him. Derik found it really sad that a gold realm master who was probably the most powerful man of his time is reduced to that form after death.
He waved his hands like a master craftsman and with his will, he created a new body for this soul. This is similar to what he did for his death avatar!
Unlike other undead slaves whom their souls manifest in their previous forms before they die when a necromancer creates a new body for a soul, its as good as creating a new life. Almost…
This grants them a high level of freedom and a level of control over the other undead. This does not necessarily mean that these fortunate ones are completely free. Instead, they just gain almost unrestricted freedom but their lives can easily be terminated by their master and just like every other undead, they cannot bear any ill will against their master.
The body of a silver-haired youth in his early twenties appeared. His silver hair was so long, that it actually reached his waist and his silver mage robes lacked sleeves. His eyes were silver in color and his fingernails had the same color as well.
"Perfect!" Derik said when he was done.
He began chanting an incantation as he grabbed the soul and slowly pushed it into its new body! Soon a darkish purple magic array appeared below Derik and death aura began gathering towards the new body. The other souls present could only stare at the new body which was given to the newest member with hints of jealousy and greed but none dared to speak against their master's decision!
................
Derik's eyes yanked open and his newest companion appeared by his side. His injuries had already recovered and his strength was close to its peak once again.
"Thank you…" Kalos said with a charming smile that could make a ladies' heart skip a beat.
"You are welcome… now lets deal with the man that put us through all of this!" Derik said with knitted eyebrows as he spotted Robert and the other nobles leaving the palace.
Robert held on to John by the neck, while Anna held on to Linda. All equipped with magic weapons!
It was obvious these two shameless members of the royal family were planning to negotiate their safety with the death mages family as a hostage!
