252 Chapter 252: Leaving the continent 2

"Yes, Cyrus and Kaido will be joining me in this expedition… We will be leaving this continent, to a place where we can rapidly increase our strength in preparation for the war to come… According to my guardian spirit, we are nowhere as strong as we need to be if we wish to have any hope of surviving this invasion…. For that reason alone I must get stronger so that I can protect you all and all those you care about" Derik gave Kin a warm smile as he spoke to Kin.

Over the years numerous people whom he doesn't even know their faces or names have joined the palace of the dead, just during his arrival he spotted people who resembled the surviving members of the Salvor family but he simply chose to ignore them. Derik has never been the type to take note of everyone who joins his sect. his power has been rising exceedingly, requiring more cultivation time in turn, meaning he has little or no time to notice everyone that walks into his sect. Derik also wasn't the type to hold on to petty grudges from minor quarrels in the past. He could clearly sense everyone's emotions and he could tell the female and male vampire of the Salvor family were a bit anxious due to his presence but they bore no ill intentions and that's all he needs to know. These people just happened to be the natural enemies of the noble family he served at the time, both sides clashed and both sides sustained numerous casualties. What the heck? If there should be anyone present who should be vengeful, it should be him.

They literarily killed him!

Fred Salvor and Stella Salvor joined hands to kill him, they actually pushed their fists into his body from behind and pushed even further until their hands were sticking out of his chest, covered in blood. But things like this does not bother him even a bit, they fought bitterly against each other, they both suffered casualties and reasonable losses, but if they are willing to work with him now and forget the past, Derik is ready to let them receive the same benefits as the other members do, he has no reason to hold them back in any way. By the way, this sect was created to shelter everyone who is different in any way, be it in magic or physically or even spiritually! So Derik wasn't overly surprised when he spotted them amongst the crowd.

Kin, on the other hand, was one of the councilmen of Kingdom of Cato who possessed tremendous death magic, Derik never prevented the man from joining his sect after the people of Cato tried to kill him at the sky rift or when he was forced to hide from these people for more than half a decade, even after which they sent a powerful warrior like Kaido to end his life. In his own opinion, these people did everything they had done in the interest of their own people, to strengthen themselves, if he were in a similar position he probably would have done the same. For these reasons he had no reasons to bare ill intentions towards this man, by the way, he let more than half of their population to be slaughtered by the magic beasts simply because he wanted to weaken them first before subduing them entirely.

In Derik's opinion, it's all business, there is no reason for one side to bear grudges for little things like this.

Kin could be considered as the third strongest member in the sect, with Kuen as the first, Kira as the second and then Kin third, of course, Kalos and Aldora are not added to this ranking list. With such extraordinary strength and talent, it was almost impossible for Derik to ignore such a character, since then Kin has joined Derik's inner circle and the man has never failed him up till now.

"Then take us with you!" Kuen demanded immediately without hesitation.

If any outsider should see witness this scene they will probably hold their breath and wait for Derik to slaughter the ignorant fool but instead, Derik just gave Kuen a casual smile and shook his head in denial.

"If that was possible I would have taken the entire sect with me but I can't… whatever awaits me there is something I cannot handle alone, that's why I was asked to bring along Cyrus and Kaido… they are at the mid-grade of the gold realm, at the same level as me… Even with our combined strength, I'm not sure we will find this journey easy… There is a chance that some of us will die" Derik explained slowly.

Hearing Derik's words everyone was stunned, was there a place in this world where two guardian spirit hosts and a cosmic spirit host cannot walk through easily? They all remembered the battle between Cyrus, Kaido, and Derik against the orc horde, the fierce aura released during the battle could easily kill silver realm elites at the peak grade almost instantly. The gap between the silver realm and the gold realm is too vast, something they cannot cross easily, that is why they have been stuck at the peak grade of the silver realm for close to a decade now, yet their cultivation speed is considered inhumane. If Derik and Cyrus didn't have their special method of boosting their power, they probably would not have entered the gold realm by now. Thinking about this, Kira, Kuen, and Kin once again realized how inferior they are to Derik and Cyrus. They realized why these people were able to rise to the top so easily and have no one else to fear in this continent but themselves!

"Impossible! You possess the undying body… You are invincible!" Kira refused to believe Derik's words!

They watched Derik and Kaido fight at Baldmar through the water orbs, with each punch Kaido threw at Derik a portion of his body exploded, turning into black blood mist but it always reformed faster than it was destroyed! There were occasions where Derik's entire body was destroyed, even his head but it still reformed almost instantly! Everyone who watched Derik fight Kaido gave up on ever killing this death mage, they all agreed that the only one capable of harming Derik is Cyrus.

Hearing Derik claimed that he may even be killed at the place he is planning to go to even with the help of to mid-grade gold realm masters like Cyrus and Kaido really annoyed Kira. He simply refused to believe this because if someone as powerful as Derik can be killed like any mortal person, that means that he is worse than trash in the face of true power.

"Hahaha… I think I said these words to Daemon back then, during the inter-class competitions…. No one is truly invincible… Even gods can be killed… Even the creator can be killed, so it's best we always prepare for the worst" Derik chuckled lightly while he spoke.
