214 Chapter 214: Facing off against two ancient beasts 3

Kaido stared at the two dragons with a vicious smile on his face as his thoughts ran wild. He knew the plan was quite simple and straightforward, the goal was to step in when the champions of the two kingdoms are defeated. Taking advantage of the opportunity to extract the survivors from those kingdoms and shift them over to Gyro. All though they needed to display their strength a bit, to be able to move the heart of the masses, but that didn't necessarily mean they should push themselves for these people.

Kaido knew he was only supposed to throw a punch or two from a safe distance and then retreat., but the urge to act outside the plan was wrong. Not only was Ahika strong enough to defeat the water dragon alone, but a second dragon also appeared from nowhere.

Practically, the plan was already in shambles and no one will blame him for putting extra effort.

"Even if I can't kill both, I should be able to end the life of that water dragon!" Kaido muttered silently.

With that done, Kaido's eyes lit up and his aura exploded. His golden skin sparkled under the bright sun, forcefully clearing the dark clouds gathered by the sea dragon and the silver wind dragon.

"I'll show you how much I have improved since our last encounter!" Kaido said to the silver dragon with a cold look on his face.

..................….

Woooosh!

Diana flew out of the other side of the portal and landed on her feet. She looked towards the massive silver portal with mixed expressions on her face as a thought shot across her mind. Approaching the portal once again, she stretched her right hand towards the portal but it was repelled by an invisible force.

"I guess I won't be able to get back in there unless I wish to travel the normal way" She muttered to herself.

With this taken care of, she pushed all thoughts of Cyrus to the back of her head while she gazed around the abandoned town they were sent to. Numerous elves were clustered at one spot and numerous blacked robed people and even supernatural monsters dressed in all black attires could be seen standing on different building roofs while gazing at the elves with contempt.

Without anyone telling her, she could guess that these people were from the palace of the dead, the force that belongs to the death mage!

Thud!

Not too far away from her position a young man whose face was covered with a red hood but his eyes were blood-red, descended from the sky with an elderly man beside him. The man was bald and he looked like someone in his sixties but with just a glance, one could tell he was older. His eyes were pitch black and his hands were placed behind him, where ever he went, a cluster darkness followed closely behind. Although these two looked different, as one was young and had this bloody stench hovering around him, while the other was old, bringing darkness along with him, they still possessed a similarly strange aura that terrified Diana.

"Aaah… It's you, Lady Diana!" Kira said with a mocking smile on his face as his blood-red eyes glowed brighter. The smile on his face revealed his unnatural razor-like set of teeth and each time he spoke a small bloody mist would escape his lips.

The stench of blood was even greater now, Kira was not too far from her and she instinctively took a step back. She could tell from these people's cultivation base that they weren't mere peak silver realm elites, these two have long since surpassed this rank, moving into a greater realm but are still far from the gold realm. That explains how they have an immense affinity for their natural elements.

Shifting her gaze towards the bald man whose skin was purple in color, Diana's eyes widened in shock as she quickly discerned the person's identity!

"Councilman Kin of the Cato kingdom!!" She screamed in shock.

Kaido has been the one looking after the kingdom of Cato before the great tragedy. She was well aware of the councilmen of the kingdom, with kin being the sole survivor of that group. She never thought this man would toss away his pride to become one of Derik's minions.

"Its just Kin now" Kin replied with a polite smile on his face.

"Well… The palace master has requested your presence… come with us" Kira said casually and flew towards the cluster of dark clouds above Briton.

Kin followed quickly and after some moments of hesitation, Diana finally chased after the two hastily.

Woooosh!

The trio soon appeared above the dark clouds, there they saw Derik whose figure was shrouded in thick death aura with his blood-red eyes gazing at Elsa who was a few feet away. She was staring at Derik with her hands placed on her chest, her eyes portrayed her sadness and the two remained silent, just staring at each other for a while.

Soon the cluster of death aura surrounding Derik began to fade. This was the first time he was showing his true appearance to anyone outside Cyrus and Kaido after he broke into the gold realm. What was more stunning was that he was doing it for this elf right here! Diana, Kira, and Kin were shocked by this and couldn't really understand the relationship between the palace master and the princess but they knew it could not be simple for him to reveal his true appearance for her sake.

Derik's long black hair was tied back into a ponytail with a purple undercut. His hair was long enough to reach his shoulders and as usual, his skin was unnaturally pale. His lips were purple and his blood-red eyes were like two flaming skulls dancing wildly. Even though he stood there topless, there was not even a string of hair on his chest! He lacked chest hair and a mustache like others his age. His fingernails were purple and the nails were longer than usual, taking the shape of a claw but it wasn't too excessive.

Derik had a good build and firm body shape, his appearance coupled with his tyrannic aura gave off some sort of domineering aura that made people think twice before messing with him. When he spoke, a set of shiny white fangs were revealed and these made Elsa and Diana's heart skip a beat. He wasn't forcing the transformation this time, they knew this was his original appearance.

The death mage has found a way to fuse with his wolf side completely!
