259 Chapter 259: The Derik way

"Daemon…" Kira's eyebrows furrowed as he gazed at the black-haired lady in tight-fitting clothes. In reality, he never expected any of these people to possess enough courage to stroll into the palace of death, furthermore, Kira didn't understand why Kalos let them through the barrier. As much as these people were his friends in the past, he wasn't sure how Derik would react if he were here. Now he has wholeheartedly accepted Derik as his superior in the sect, he is obliged to serve Derik! Accepting these people's help will definitely harm Derik's pride as a supreme master of his generation.

"Its really nice seeing you all again after so long and I also appreciate your concern but we do not need your help to deal with these… nobles… the palace of life and death will not accept outside help… even without our palace masters we as still capable of subduing this empire!" Kira said with a mocking grin on his face.

Hearing him talk everyone present was stunned and they began wondering if Kira was even aware of the situation. Practically every important person in the empire are banding against them, that's to say that they are going against the whole empire. If Derik, Cyrus, and Kaido were present it would have been a completely different issue since three of them can easily destroy the whole empire alone but without them, the fate of the two sects is complete destruction. Even the proud and powerful Agus who is said to be only weaker than Cyrus in the sect felt threatened by these people. He wasn't fully in support of Kira's actions! This is the time when they should seek out their friends and gather their forces together for the last stand.

"Do you really think your sects can handle the situation alone?" A middle-aged youth with a blue mohawk haircut and a black undercut asked while playing with two blue daggers in his hands. This man was called the prince charming during his youthful days and his strength was extraordinary as well even though he was from a non-combat class. Gin could be considered as one of the most famous people in the empire right now, almost as famous as Derik and Cyrus!

"Do not underestimate the palace of the dead… We are more powerful than you all think… Even without Derik present, we can pull down this empire if we wish to" Kira replied with a vicious smile on his face.

"Anyway… Your help is not required… Unless you wish to take part in what we wish to do" Kin who was still hidden within the cluster of black clouds finally spoke up after a while.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" A green-haired man with green pupils asked with a raised eyebrow. He was interested in what these people were planning to do.

Looking at Mason, Kira was quite stunned. Just like Derik, when this man suddenly unlocked his wind rider path his power rose rapidly alongside his fame. He was officially declared the strongest archer of all time, being the only archer in the continent that has ever reached the peak grade of the silver realm, coupled with an overpowered path that gives him control over the wind element. Some even argue that this man should not be considered an archer anymore but a mage, after months of debates and arguments, Mason was declared the first magic archer! A title that no one has ever received before! His daughter who calls herself gust seems to have a strong affinity to the wind element and also practices to become an archer, she will definitely take over from her father and even surpass him.

"Hehehe… what else are we supposed to do… we will do things the Derik way and kill every single person that matches to this place with ill intentions… Those noble families responsible for this will be wiped out as well…" Kuen chuckled lightly as he spoke.

"So, if you wish to help us…. Then you will join the forces of the palace of life to block every escape route in the empire… we wish to put an end to all of this once and for all… we have to kill every single one of them" Kira revealed a vicious grin while speaking.

Hearing Kira speaking, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts, even Agus was slightly disturbed by these people's intentions but he couldn't argue with them. In reality, this was the best and only option if they truly wish to put an end to all of this. Gerald and the others were stunned by this, they had thought that the palace of the dead are scary but only because of Derik, but now they realized how wrong they were. They began to wonder how Derik has managed to make everyone whom he meets as vicious as him, even Cyrus who is meant to represent light, and holiness has become as savage and wild as a beast when provoked. They believed that if they spent more time with Derik, they probably would have been as vicious as these people.

"And who said I'll be on guard duty while you all have fun?" Agus revealed a friendly smile while speaking to Kira.

"Hehehe! Didn't think you would want to stain your clean clothes with blood" Kira chuckled.

"This won't be the first time… as for the clothes, you don't have to worry, I have many of these, too many" Agus smiled.

"Now you know our intentions, do you still wish to help us?" Kira chuckled and sat down, patiently waiting for these people's responses.

"You know the gold realm masters may help them… They are not really in good terms with Derik and if you all try to wipe out all the major nobles of the empire, they will be forced to interfere" Gerald said with furrowed eyebrows.

"Yea… You need our help to pin them down at least… even though we are not gold realm masters, if join hands we can battle them to a draw" Donald who was dressed in green knight armor, with a green spear hanging tightly on his back and a sword strapped around his waist.
