With the Derik gravely injured in the battle Cyrus could not prevent the flame dragon from fleeing. Even if he tried, he clearly could not handle the dragon alone, Derik's defeat meant that their strength was reduced by half."This…" Cyrus stared at the location where the flame dragon fled to with mixed feelings visible in his golden glowing eyes. He pushed the thought away and grabbed on to Derik, helping him get on his feet. After which both of them turned into two beams of black and golden light and returned to Gyro.....................................In the royal courtroom of Cato…"A draw? The flame dragon may have fled but the death mage also took a heavy blow right there… If we are faced with this kind of threat, will we be able to handle it?" The king of Cato tapped the chair arm of his throne as he spoke."This… I don't know…" The man dressed in a black mage robe stammered as he watched the images on the massive water glob at the center of the room with complicated feelings in his eyes. He knew if they were in a similar position, they would have been obliterated in mere days! Yet these two guardian spirit hosts fought these monsters bitterly for three weeks and one day! That's twenty two solid days!Instinctively they all turned their attention to their only hope in the room. Kaido was dressed in a normal noble attire with his hair tied back into a ponytail. His pupils were like two scorching yellow suns and his firm gaze was fixed on the water glob in the center of the room. His eyes showed no emotions and his temperament had completely changed."If I fought that beast alone… If I risked my life against it… I will be able to replicate the same results… But I cant beat that thing… Those two are truly amazing to be able to hold out for three weeks… They are really something" The normal cheerful Kaido was now cold and indifferent about everything.He sprang to his feet at lightning fast speed and quickly left the room without uttering a single word. .......................................…Within an active volcano a figure could be seen seated in a cross-legged position. His eyes were shut tightly and his aura kept growing steadily. For some reason it seemed as if the figure was absorbing the volcano's heat, using it to fuel his own power."Its over… They didn't win… But they didn't lose either… If that kind of foe should come my way, I will most likely end up dead… I must hurry and breakthrough! Only then will I be able to fight against such monsters" Ahika said indifferently while he kept draining the energy of the volcano...............................At the Elven kingdom, in the legendary floating sky palace, numerous figures were seated in a massive courtroom. The largest in the continent, even Gyro's massive royal courtroom could not compare.The Sky palace itself was surrounded by numerous green vines which crawled around, freely and those residing here didn't seem to be bothered by this. Even the courtroom had vines wrapping round each and every pillar in the room but these people ignored it, placing their undivided attention on the massive water glob above them."Derik… Will he be okay?" Elsa who was dressed in a white and green gown stared at the image of a black figure hidden within his black aura falling to the ground. Even if his body was hidden within the cluster of black aura, Elsa knew he was in pain. For someone as vicious and reckless as Derik to cry out, it meant that the injury he sustained wasn't normal."I have to admit… These two hosts of the Life and Death guardian spirits are really amazing… Three weeks of intense combat… They are just a step away from the gold realm and they were able to hold out this long… once they recover from their injuries, they will reap many benefits, they may even have a breakthrough! Just like my mother always said, true experience and strength comes from frightening battles" Elena, the elven queen said with a joyful expression."If I may enquire… why is the queen so eager to see our enemies get even stronger?" Diana who has been quiet for a while now asked with cold eyes."Enemies? This is a crucial time and all the races in this continent are meant to join hands and defeat this magic beast strength… According to legends, there are three other dragons with different elements just like this fire dragon and when they awaken, even this great kingdom with fall…Miss Diana, I wish to ask you this… if you were faced with a similar situation as those two hosts… will you be able to replicate the same result? Will you be able to fight the dragon for three straight weeks and even have it flee?" Elena ignored Diana's cold gaze as she spoke softly."…." Diana hid her face as she couldn't reply. She wasn't even sure she would be able to hold out for a week not to talk of two. The queen was right, no matter how you look at it, what these two did was amazing."As expected… you can't… this world is at the brink of destruction… At this time we should join hands and eliminate this threat… This is no time for petty feuds" Elena said indifferently.Elsa remained rooted to her spot as she stared at Derik's shadowy figure. Her heart felt warm as she wondered how life would have been if the death mage followed her back and left the Gyro kingdom… Maybe the kingdom would have been in ruins by now."He carries so much weight on his shoulders… That's why we can't be together…" She muttered...............................…Golden and darkish purple beams of light entered the kingdom capital at terrifying speed and headed straight to the royal palace…Bang!Bang!!Upon landing, numerous web like cracks appeared beneath their feet and two figures appeared. Both were deadly pale and their breathing was heavy!
