Diana and the people of Alda were stunned by what they saw just now. Not only did Cyrus easily block the poisonous mist attack which required the combined forces of Alda silver realm elites, but he also severed the massive hand of the earth dragon so easily, it looked like a steel knife was been used to cut butter.
He made it so easy and effortless that they began suspecting that the problem was Diana, maybe she was just too weak!
Diana's eyes were twitching with despair as she tried to recall how easy it was for Cyrus to penetrate this beasts defense alone. Her attacks only left shallow slash marks and even her ultimate fivefold sealing formation could only leave a bunch of web-like cracks on its scales, it wasn't even able to deal any notable damage on this earth dragon.
"Pls leave miss Diana, having you here will only put me in a disadvantaged position should this magic beast decide to strike at you…" Cyrus said with a soft tone without even turning back to look her in the face.
"What about Kaido… Is he…." Diana muttered as she slowly drifted to Kalo's side.
"He's strong and well… He should be aiding the Lizardman fire guardian spirit host in Baldmar as we speak… You don't have to worry about him… He's tough… He won't go down easily" Cyrus replied impatiently.
Even then Diana seemed reluctant to leave Cyrus, for some reason staring at his broad back and his perfect figure made her feel warm inside. She felt scared that if she let this man fight this beast alone, he may not return. She knew better than anyone that Cyrus attack only dealt this much damage since the beast was caught off guard by it and she was sure that Cyrus was aware of this fact, that's probably why he was in a hurry to send her away. But still, she didn't feel like leaving.
Diana took a step forward and was about to speak but then she felt a cold, lifeless hand on her shoulders, and her vision blurred only stabilizing when they arrived at the center of the elf kingdom, Alda, where everyone was gathered under Kalos instructions.
"You don't have to worry… Unless something unexpected happens… Young master Cyrus won't fall… he's just as strong as the death mage…" Kalos' cold voice resonated from behind her and she couldn't help but feel scared. His tone was a bit informative but with a hint of cold murderous intentions, she knew that if she proceeded to disturb Cyrus, she may not leave to see how the end of the fight.
...............…..
"Why do Gyro decide to help us now, after we have suffered some casualties… Do you wish to force us under your wings just like you humans did to Cato? Do you think we elves are weak?" Isabel's voice resonated from the cluster of elves below.
"Yes… I think you all are weak…" Kalos answered indifferently as he stared at the elves that were barely up to fifty thousand in population. At this point, he believed the rumors that elves had to give up their fertility for their incredibly long lifespan.
An average human can live up to a hundred years if they are lucky. As for those who choose to follow the path of power and cultivation, their live spans increase as their realms increase. Kalos lived for more than two centuries and was nearing the end of his life span even as a gold realm master, that was before Derik took his life. But elves could easily live for more than three centuries and this is for those that are normal. Kalos dared not think of the life span of elves that choose to cultivate. This explains why their reproductive abilities are reduced to the barest minimum, just to balance things out.
"This world is at a critical stage where it can be destroyed at any time… We have seen how every kingdom in the continent has suffered numerous losses at the hands of these magic beasts that chose to revolt… It will only get worse and if we remain separated we will not survive… I can guarantee that…�� Kalos explained softly.
"So you wish to have us join our strengths together… The four kingdoms become one! Why didn't you make this offer from the very beginning" Elena, the elf queen walked out of the crowd and spoke up with a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Would you have given up your territory and abandoned your home, if there was still a chance that you could win against that dragon?" Kalos sneered.
And there was silence! Hearing Kalos words, they knew the obvious answer to the question. It was a big no! if by chance Diana was able to drive the earth dragon away, even with the looming threat of the silver wind dragon and the flame dragon whose location remained unknown, they still won't give up their lands until death was knocking at their door. Elena knew this so she decided not to push the matter any further.
"Even if we agree to this plan of yours and become a part of Gyro… The kingdom is too small to absorb the members of the four great kingdoms of this continent…" Elsa appeared beside her mother and spoke.
"Yes… She's right undead master… Do you have a plan for that… can you give us a place to live?" Isabel sneered.
Woooosh!
Kalos ignored the little silver realm archers provocations and waved his hands. From his eyes were a galaxy of stars that opened a portal behind him and a sorcerer wearing a black and red mage robe with a red hood appeared. The sorcerer only had a cultivation base of the mid-grade of the silver realm but his diabolic aura terrified all those at the peak grade of the silver realm amongst the elves! This guy was one of the numerous experts in the palace of the undead!
Seeing the fearful looks on their faces, a satisfied smile appeared on Kalos' face and he waved his hand again and muttered two words softly.
"Show them" He said.
"Yes, elder!" The sorcerer bowed respectfully before he conjured a massive water orb above these people. Soon, numerous images of the hordes of magic beasts been slaughtered all around Gyro's borders appeared.
Hundreds of thousands of undead magic beasts chased after the fleeing magic beasts even after they have gone as far as two hundred kilometers away from gyro's bothers yet they were still hunted down viciously.
A gray undead mist twirled around the gyro kingdom, spread like a plague. Every dead monster covered by this mist would instantly reincarnate and join in the hunt. A cluster of darkish purple aura stood in the sky with a pair of crimson red eyes, looking down on these beasts as if they were its prey.
The images shown on the water orb instantly terrified everyone present and no one dared to speak a word for over a minute. They all tried to process the meaning behind Derik's actions and only one thought kept popping up in their minds!
Derik is trying to wipe out the magic beasts in the southern region of the continent! This is something no one has ever attempted since the beginning of the time!!
