187 Chapter 187: Blake

"In five moves? I sincerely doubt that" Derik asked with a hint of disbelief in his facial expression.

Back then when he was still a recruit residing at castle black he was capable of defeating three level twelve stone trolls all alone. He once fought against a two-century-year-old vampire Cornelius and won! Even though the vampire was already weakened by the Lockwoods, this could still be considered an amazing feat!

Now, after achieving all those great things, for him to be told that he could be killed in less than five moves against this kid back then, Derik refused to believe Demos' words naturally. His pride was on the line here and he wasn't ready to back down easily.

"Alright! Alright!! I exaggerated a bit… He won't be able to defeat you in Five moves…" Demos repented of his previous words immediately.

"Good" Derik nodded his head in approval.

"Yea… he won't be able to take you down in five moves… It will take six… seven at most! I'm sure of it" Demos laughed.

Hearing this Derik's face turned red. He was about to engage Demos in a heated argument but then he stopped when he noticed the meaningful gaze of these kids on him.

"Are you talking to someone?" Dimitris ran to Derik with an innocent smile on his face.

Derik nodded slightly and turned his attention to the darkish purple-haired kid who remained silent while staring at him. He seemed to be subduing his aura on purpose, and he was putting in a lot of effort at that. Derik was a bit confused by this, but a few thoughts came to his mind and he decided to clarify some issues with Demos first.

"Did you just say this kid possesses the abilities of all four people here?" Derik asked as he grabbed onto Dimitris' tiny hands and played with the kid.

"Yes… Why do you ask?" Demos asked

"Well, since he has the combined abilities of numerous evil magic in his body, doesn't that mean he will also inherit the magic spirits that follow them as well? Or does this make him qualified to have a guardian spirit like yourself tutor him?" Derik asked calmly. At this time, Dimitris was running round him with his hands raised high while he laughed continually. Derik in response kept turning around while Dimitris ran harder and laughed even harder. If anyone were to see Derik act this way in public, his executioner image would be seriously damaged.

"Firstly, that kid does not possess all forms of evil magic so he's not qualified to house me in his mind… even If he did, he's just a cheap imitation of you, I for one will not let myself be involved in such an unnatural abomination! As for the first question, the answer is yes… He inherits the magic spirits of all the forms of evil magic that have been implanted in him. This is the reason why he's intentionally trying to suppress his power… with so many voices in his mind coupled with the normal troublesome nature of the magic spirits of the various forms of evil magic, I can say confidently that this kid is been tormented in his mind and that's why he's suppressing his power forcibly…" Demos explained patiently.

"I see… That explains a lot… is there a way to deal with this?" Derik asked.

"I can easily step in but my pride as a guardian spirit is on the line so I won't do that… I feel insulted by the very fact that these people are trying to imitate me and I strongly advise you end this kid's life…"

"Hell no!" Derik's visage turned cold and a murderous aura diffused from his body.

"BUT! Knowing you, I'm pretty sure you will disagree with me so there is another way to deal with this… Become his guardian spirit…" Demos said impatiently… it seemed pissed off after Derik interrupted it.

"Become his guardian spirit? How do I do that?" Derik asked. Completely ignoring Demos' attitude due to his initial interruption. Andrew and Philips had already joined Dimitris and soon, they ended up playing together, yet his gazed was fixed on the darkish purpled hair kid who seemed to be in pain, totally ignoring jean who was standing beside him.

"It's quite simple… As guardian spirit or even normal magic spirits, we have the ability to split ourselves into numerous copies… this way we can easily communicate with different people at different places, all at the same time… This is what we call omnipresence… In your case, its very pitiful that you are still a mortal…" Demos said…

'Yea! Yea!! You don't have to rub it on my face all the time" Derik replied coldly.

"To make this work, you can only send your will… Someone who can keep these rogue spirits at check… something which possesses your power and will, just like a copy of yourself" Demos said.

"The death avatar! Why can't I send any other undead under my control?" Derik's eyes narrowed as he spoke.

"Only the death magic can subdue other forms of evil magic! It has to be the death avatar since it's the only being connected to you that has your power as well… it also has to be at the gold realm to be able to assume control… Do you still want to do this?" Demos sneered.

Derik's eyebrows were knitted together when he heard this so he chose to approach the kid first. Upon arrival, he crouched, reducing himself to the kid's level, and he spoke.

"I can help you deal with the voices in your head… Can you trust me to do this?" Derik asked casually.

"Well… You were talking to your guardian spirit just now right? The voices in my head said you will only try to harm me since I'm an imitation of you and I have the potential to surpass you… They want me to flee" The kid replied with a pained expression on his face but he didn't seem scared, even though there was a chance Derik would kill him.

"You've got good eyes and a powerful willpower! You will make a magnificent student…" Derik laughed not caring to hide his evil nature in front of this kid. In his eyes, someone who isn't scared of death was not simple…. With the right master, that person can strive forward and reach a profound realm through numerous dangerous encounters, just like himself.

"Yes, I was asked to end your life by my guardian spirit but I refused… They may see you as a monster but I see you as someone with so much potential… About you surpassing me, I don't see that happening any time soon but if it does, I'll be happy since I have a powerful student who can protect me against monstrous foes… I'll feel more secured…. By the way, its the dream of all masters that their disciples surpass them and achieve greater things" Derik said with a charming smile on his face.

For just a moment, the darkish purple-haired kid forgot about the voices in his head and stared at Derik with watery eyes. Even though he was prepared to die at the hands of Derik, now there was a chance of life, his strong will crumbled. He felt fortunate he was found by someone as powerful as Derik and from the way the people who came earlier, he could tell that Derik's position here was not simple as well.

"Yes, master! Please end this torment and I Blake Lombert swears to follow you to the very end!" Blake said with so much passion that the other kids were confused. They wondered why Blake was acting so formal around someone as nice as Derik.

With that done, Derik only nodded in approval and quickly summoned his death avatar. Through telepathy, he instructed the death avatar on what is meant to happen, after which he started feeding the death avatar with the thousands of souls trapped in his incomplete domain.

The death avatar was stuck at the peak grade of the silver realm and Derik really didn't know how many souls would be required to upgrade this monster. All he knew was that the gap between the silver realm and the gold realm is larger than the gap between the bronze realm and the silver realm. If he wished to actually do this, he will most likely sacrifice a lot of souls and this will greatly reduce the overall power of his necromancer path ability, legion!

With his mind made up, he placed his hand on the forehead of the death avatar and the transfer began. He decided to start with the low-level ones first… Hopefully, the bronze level souls will be enough to satiate the death avatars hunger but somewhere in his heart, he knew this may not be enough

50 bronze realm souls

100 bronze realm souls

300 bronze realm souls

500 bronze realm souls

1000 bronze realm souls

1500 bronze realm souls

1754 bronze realm souls

At this point, Derik's heart was bleeding greatly but he was yet to achieve the desired results. His eyes narrowed when he realized his bronze realm souls were finished, leaving him with only his silver realm souls which were a little over a thousand!

100 silver realm souls

200 silver realm souls

350 silver realm souls.

At this point the death avatar let out a terrifying roar and his aura washed through Gyro like a raging sea. Derik in response used his aura to protect the kids while he used his own aura to set up a barrier around them. If the death avatars aura is allowed to run wild it will most likely end up corroding everything in Gyro, killing almost anyone below the gold realm level!

At this very moment, Demos enchanting figure appeared beside Derik and he quickly began mumbling some incantations while he drew some magic circles with his mind. Instantly a magic array appeared under the death avatar and Blake and soon a powerful suction force appeared and the death avatar shrunk till it could no more be seen. Blake's original darkish purple pupils instantly caught fire and burnt bright like Derik's. A roar emanated from him and the numerous voices in his head vanished.

"You owe me one…" Demos said with a slight frown before he vanished. Leaving Derik and the other kids astonished by all that happened.
