Numerous beams of dazzling golden light, coupled with a large number of lightning bolts shot through the skies, flying towards the massive golden Buddha which stood like an ancient immovable wall.
Bam!
Bam!!
Bam!!!
The combined attacks of lightning and light still failed to move the massive Buddha, but it was able to temporarily halt its advance. Its hands which were wrapped around the bishop Aldora, slowly opened, preparing to launch an attack at Derik.
\"It's not over yet!\" Derik growled as he stormed towards the Buddha fearlessly.
Woooosh!
In an instant, the gigantic divine crucifix appeared above Aldora, bearing down on him like a mountain. While the massive divine crucifix distracted Aldora, Derik arrived with lightning storms, hurricanes and blazing orange flames following tightly behind.
\"Break!\" Derik roared and pushed forward, sending all the elemental attacks at Aldora!
Torrents of flame, gusts of wind and bolts of lightning intertwined as they all slammed into the Buddha. Since a reasonable portion of the Buddha's strength was focused on keeping the divine weapon at bay, the defensive capabilities of the deity reduced drastically, leaving Aldora vulnerable!
Boom!
Booom!!
Boooom!!!
Aldora was blasted out of the Buddha forcefully, leaving him numerous cuts, scorch wounds and burns of various degrees. This was completely out of Aldora's speculations! He expected Derik to play defensive because of the massive amount of mana and stamina the technique consumes. Never did it occur to him that Derik will take the initiative to attack, recklessly pouring out so much mana on numerous elemental attacks.
And who would have thought the death mage could control the light element with death magic. It just didn't seem right!
Even if light magic is nothing compared to the original, life magic and is considered as a cheap knock off, it doesn't change the laws of nature! Light should always reject darkness no matter how small it is. It was more reasonable if Derik erased light than when he manipulates it, it just didn't feel right! But this is not the time to think of this!
\"Don't you dare think I am so weak… that I will drop dead after a single attack!\" Aldora roared!
Disregarding his severe injuries, he pushed his hands forward and a great suction force began pulling the massive Buddha towards him, his face had been entirely destroyed by Derik's attacks but his rage was still visible on his distorted face
\"Deity path: One true god! Divine deity!\" He roared as the Buddha slammed into him and a bright golden light flashed, preventing Derik from storming in for just a second.
\"Behold the power of god…\" Aldora's hoarse voice resonated from the golden light which was slowly dimming at the moment.
From it a ten-meter tall golden man like statue appeared with six hands, his eyes were filled with darkness, with numerous stars twinkling in it. His body seemed stiff and strong as if it was made of gold, the former short, round and ugly wingman had turned into a divine being whose body was crafted by the greatest sculptures of all time. Around his slender neck were strange, golden beads and similar beads could be found in his other hands. His facial expression was neutral, there was no rage, anger, hate, love, joy, pain or sorrow. Just indifference, like a just god who was called to proclaim judgment upon all its creatures. On its right was an hourglass with golden sand and on the left was a divine golden scythe, used to reap the souls of the unjust. And upon the head of this deity was a halo representing the just and holy nature of this man who has just ascended to the ranks of gods!
\"Derik Angus… Messanger of death and the wielder of the death element… Its time for you to receive divine punishment! Your soul shall be purged of its sins, I can assure you of that!\" Aldora's voice was like thunder and lightning, shaking the space around them as he spoke. Aldora swiftly reached for the sacred golden scythe levitating by his left, hacking down at Derik mercilessly without any prior warning.
Even though his gigantic movements looked incredibly slow and simple, his terrifying aura greatly suppressed Derik! Preventing him from moving an inch away from his position.
\"Damn you! A god with the power level of a mid-grade of gold realm mage? Hahaha! A fake just like the others! I refuse to be defeated by a lesser being like you!\" Derik laughed as numerous aura's of various elements burst out of his body at once, successfully breaking free from Aldora's hold. But even then, it was already too late for Derik to escape completely, so he decided to face this beast head-on!
His eyes turned bloodshot as he ferociously threw his fist towards the incoming death scythe and an enormous gust of wind surrounded by lightning shot towards the golden scythe, slamming into it mercilessly
Boom!
Woooosh!!!
Derik's eyes widened as he realized that his attempt failed. his attacks failed to even slow down the golden scythe, the destructive power of Alodra's new form exceeded his expectations.
\"Crap!\" Derik was terrified by the outcome and hastily retreated as he summoned a torrent of scorching red flames from his mouth and from his palms were terrifying black bolts of lightning. All in a bid to stop the incoming scythe while he retreated even further
Slash!
Puff!!!
Although Derik was barely able to escape the attack, a deep gash appeared on his chest with his palms severed from his body. His crimson red eyes dimmed and souls escaped from the opening on his chest, letting out angry howls at the golden deity which dared to deal fatal damage on their master. His legion form was forcibly deactivated and he returned to his normal form, falling through the skies without any restriction. His breathing was heavy and his organs threatened to fall off the bloody gash on his chest! Even his ribs were visible.
\"Damn it…\" Derik's vision blurred as he fell….
Who would have thought that the new ability this man used could grant him the power to rival normal peak grade gold realm experts?
To rival such power, he needs to release his limiters and this is the trump card he decided to save for the forces of the various kingdoms waiting outside Gyro at this very moment.
He was careless and cocky, and now he has paid the price!
Woooooooosssssshhhhhh!!
\"Shatter the skies! Split the heavens!\" A roar resonated in the skies and the clouds lit up.
A massive gust of wind blew Derik's weakened body and he fell into the hands of a youth with blazing golden eyes. From the little Derik could see, a massive divine broadsword slammed into the chest of the new deity, forcing it to retreat while using its scythe to protect itself.
\"I guess I have repaid my debt… You did well lasting this long against that monster… Leave the rest to Kalos, Kuen and I. Cyrus said to the weakened Derik, laying in his hands with a charming, charismatic smile on his face.
