261 Chapter 261: Three bloody Demons of the sect 1

Tension kept rising for over eight days as the various forces of the nobles of the empires kept gathering at Gyro, the capital of the human settlement in the empire. Large numbers of elves and humans could be seen right outside the gates of Gyro waiting for further others from their superiors before making a move. Surprisingly the Lizardmen didn't send over any forces like the two other races, unlike the elves and the humans who had nobles and high ranking officials who can question their kings and leaders, there was nothing like that for the lizardmen. Only the lizardman chieftain holds absolute power and his words are obeyed without any delay! The fact that the lizardmen didn't send over anyone showed Ahika had no plans of getting himself involved in this conspiracy, after the last encounter with Derik and Cyrus, the Lizardman chief realized their words were true and it chose to ignore whatever is happening in the empire, as long as his race is not involved.

Knowing that the lizardmen have refused to take part in this attack simply meant that the allied forces of the nobles has lost the support of the gold realm master of the lizardmen. This could be considered a major blow to them but it didn't mean that they would withdraw easily. Right now they had over three hundred thousand warriors and mages preparing for battle. Within those forces were about fifty thousand silver realm elites consisting of all the classes and leading them were two peerless silver realm experts of the previous generation, the former Gyro military commander, Creed, and the Elven race military commander, Isabel, the same person who saved Derik back in the dungeon, when he was just a measly bronze realm archer.

These two bore deep resentment for the death mage and the reasons for this were still unknown since they never spoke about it. They were always willing to take part in any action against Derik's sect whenever the chance presents itself and now they can successfully destroy the sect entirely, they even refused to be paid for their services.

"You have chosen not to take part in this holy mission to purge this empire of the plague, preventing it from progressing" Creed's hoarse voice was loud enough for Gerald who was standing above the walls of Gyro to hear.

"This person whom you call a plague is the reason this empire was successfully formed in the first place… this plague is the reason my father was defeated and his reign of terror ended… This plague is the reason the empire successfully avoided a civil war!... What do you have against him, Creed? Do you forget you once fought alongside him to protect the kingdom of Gyro from all these people you are banding together with? Do you think these crappy nobles care about this empire?" Gerald asked these questions with an unusual calm look on his face.

"Save your questions, little Gerald, nothing will save these two sects today… the moment they withdrew the barrier protecting the empire, the committed treason, and asked for death… I'm only here to grant them their desire… either way, these people must die… It is bad enough you have refused to lend us a hand… it will be worse if you refuse to grant us safe passage through the capital, or should we need to raid this great city first?" Creed said with a vicious smile on his face.

"Ha? Raid Gyro? Even if you did that… You and all these people standing behind you will die miserably… Fortunately for you, like always, I will remain neutral on this matter… Your forces are allowed to pass through Gyro safely and move towards the mountain ranges where the sects are located as long as your forces do not cause any trouble for my people… And you don't have to be scared old man Creed… I will not interfere in your business… I will let the gods decide the fate of those two sects" Gerald sneered.

Waving his hand while glaring at the furious Creed, the massive gates of Gerald were opened and the forces of the elves and humans matched forward. Gerald could only stare at these people with pity and regret. All these people have families and loved ones, if Kira wasn't exaggerating the last them spoke and the death palace has enough strength to deal with these people, then more than half of these people will meet the angel of death before the end of the week.

"It's really sad" Daemon's alluring figure appeared beside Gerald. If Creed realized that this lady had a dagger close to his throat all through the time he spoke with Gerald, he would probably have wet his pants since he couldn't even detect the assassin.

"Yea… it is sad… But it's necessary" Gerald sighed ruefully.

"Do you think they can actually pull it off? Do you really think Kira and Agus can deal with all these people with only thirty thousand men on their side?" Daemon asked with a doubtful expression on her face.

"If Kira said they can do it… I choose he can… He is the strongest member of the team guardian, Cyrus and Derik excluded… He's quite powerful and I don't think I will be able to defeat him if we fought…" Gerald answered.

"And Agus? What do you think? He was just a commoner with a strong affinity to the light element when Cyrus found him… Even though his cultivation speed is monstrous and people say he's as powerful as Kira, I believe they are exaggerating… Both Kira and Agus do not deserve such praise… They are only strong because they keep leaching of Derik and Cyrus whose aura can double their cultivation speed and strengthen their abilities…" Daemon said with clenched fists and gritted teeth.

"Hahaha! I agree that these people are only this powerful because they keep feeding off Derik and Cyrus but in reality, living with those two is not easy… You have seen people from both palaces, while Derik's sect is filled with beasts who were once human, who have gone crazy due to Derik's aura while Cyrus sect is filled with fanatics who are equally crazy as well… For the fact, those two are able to retain their sanity simply shows how strong they are! You don't have to be jealous" Gerald said with a playful smile on his face.

"Hmph! I'm not jealous… even if they are strong, there is so much a single person can do… Either way, the two sects will fall in a week's time at most…if I were them, I will just swallow my pride and hide behind Kalos barrier and wait till Derik and Cyrus return…" Daemon retorted disdainfully.
