Unlike cosmic spirit hosts, guardian spirit hosts are guided by their various guardian spirits. Most times, the guardian spirits even give up a small portion of their powers just to hasten the growth speed of their hosts. Just like Ahika, Derik, and Cyrus, they all received their paths while they were at the bronze realm. This is something people acquire at the mid-grade of the silver realm if they are lucky!
Mason who was lucky enough to awaken the wind rider path at the mid-grade of the silver realm is considered an expert.
What the heck? Even normal mages are tutored and guided by their magic spirits, but it is an entirely different case for cosmic spirit hosts. Cosmic spirits are incredibly proud beings that impact their inheritance on whoever catches their attention at that moment and then abandons them later on. They view the wielders of their inheritances as insignificant beings, not bothering to even show them the basics.
Kalos spent his whole life trying to gain the recognition of the spatial cosmic spirit host. During that time he was considered the most powerful of his time, challenging numerous foes at higher realms!
Kalos pushed through the bronze realm and entered the silver realm and finally the gold realm just by feeling his way. His path was self-made and his power was unrivaled at that time!
Even after reaching the gold realm, the cosmic spirit still refused to acknowledge him. With his own power, he pushed himself all the way from the low grade of the gold realm up to the mid-grade of the gold realm, hoping to gain the recognition of the cosmic spirit after he reached the demigod realm. Unfortunately, the human race lifespan was too short, even if Derik didn't kill him at that time, he still had less than thirty years to live, this is not enough time for him to push his way into the new realm. Even if he was given another hundred years, he wasn't sure if he could still make the breakthrough needed.
Everyone expected the conditions of the three heroes of legends to be different since they descended from the heavens and their bodies were specially crafted by the cosmic spirits but this was not the case. The only difference between the heroes of legends and the other cosmic spirit hosts was just that they were created with an extremely profound level that everyone will definitely be envious of but in reality, this was even more disadvantageous.
At least, cosmic spirit hosts like Kalos started from the bottom, building a steady foundation. Unlike those three that were given powerful abilities without knowing the basics! That's why Derik and Cyrus can beat the crap out of them, any day, any time. It is like giving a gun to a person without giving bullets to the person.
They cant properly use a power they don't understand, not to talk of acquiring a path.
When Ahika looked at Kaido, all he saw was wasted talents. If a single cosmic spirit host is born with the complete support of the cosmic spirit, they will definitely be able to defeat a guardian spirit host of the same level.
"A pity…" Ahika muttered. He was sincerely feeling sorry for Kaido.
.........................................
Roar!!!
Boooom!!!
Fierce flames collided with a massive wind dome and the silver dragon could not help but scream in pain as it retreated. The destructive power of Kaido's flames was a level above what it used to be back then when they battled in Cato.
Water whip!
Seeing that the air barrier protecting the silver wind dragon had collapsed, the sea dragon acted quickly to save its comrade. Suddenly numerous water whips appeared right in front of the silver dragon, lashing out at Kaido fiercely.
This was obviously an attempt to stall Kaido and create some space for the silver wind dragon to retreat. Kaido was aware of this but he didn't seem bothered, revealing a confident smile which made these ancient beasts feel restless.
When did humans become so terrifying?
Each water vine was at least a hundred meters tall, with the ocean below them as its source, stretching all the way to the skies where they fought. When compared to Kaido in terms of size, each water whip was as big as a huge truck and Kaido was like a newborn baby.
"Slow!" Kaido muttered
Bam!
Kaido stomped the air repeatedly as if it was a solid surface coupled with some flame explosions occurring at his feet to help increase his speed, Kaido bounced around wildly, leaving behind only after images for the water whips to chase after. The application of his flames to his feet in a bid to increase his speed was unexpected, even Derik who had arrived was stunned by Kaido's current level!
What did Cyrus teach this guy while he was still recovering?
Seeing the situation was currently under control, Derik hid carefully and erased his presence while he observed. He was curious to know how much Kaido had improved under Cyrus' guidance.
Even though the water whip failed to hold down Kaido, it still bought some time for the silver dragon, just enough for it to retreat and reinforce its wind domain!
Huuuuuuu!
Kaido spat out a mouthful of hot air as the huge blade of his magic broadsword let out an orange glow. His narrowed eyes and vicious grin revealed his malicious intentions as he abruptly shifted his focus from the silver dragon to the water dragon.
"SHOOT!" He growled and a beam of scorching orange flames emerged from the magic weapon and shot towards the sea dragon at a terrifying speed, aiming at its temple.
Who would have thought a guardian knight who has spent the whole time trying to get closer to them possessed a ranged attack? One as terrifying as this!
This was unexpected and caught everyone off guard, for this reason, the sea and wind dragons were a tad too late when reacting. The sea dragon was already in the process of leaving his location when the orange beam pierced into its left eye, leaving a scorched hole for everyone to see.
