288 Chapter 288: Judgement from afar!

"Agggh!" Cyrus cried out when he felt something sting his heart.

His golden eyes dimmed and he wore a confused expression on his face. The sea raged and trashed-out around them but their combined aura could easily prevent any of this from reaching them.

"Cyrus… what's wrong?" Derik asked.

The other two stopped and gazed at Cyrus with worried expressions. They could only wait patiently for Cyrus to recover from the shock before advancing.

"They are killing my people!" Cyrus hissed as he stared at the general direction of the continent.

His eyes glowed brightly and his aura exploded. The calm and angelic aura which Cyrus had soon turned violent and demonic, causing Kaido to move a bit farther. He has never seen Cyrus like this before and didn't know how to deal with this. Unlike Kaido, Derik was not disturbed by Cyrus' sudden change. Instead, he was lost in his thoughts and unknown to him, his aura exploded like that of Cyrus.

Cyrus aura had a different effect on his followers, making them become fanatics and blindly follow him into the grave! This is the reason why people wielding light magic who once hated any form of evil magic, submitted themselves to him and befriended members of the palace of death, taking them as their own brothers. To these people, evil magic is no different from any other form of magic and this was only made possible through Cyrus' influence and aura. It made him become their god.

During this time, Cyrus used his aura to nurture these people and train them, helping them cultivate way faster than normal people. Even the weakest people wielding just a spark of life affinity became peerless geniuses when compared with their peers. They all bore Cyrus aura in them and have built some sort of invisible connection.

At the very moment of the death of a single member of his sect, Cyrus felt strange. He could hear their cries for help and pain. Through their eyes, he could see the green-haired mage butcher them in masses and quite easily.

"Francis! I should have killed you back then!!!" Cyrus roared as he threw his open palm into the sky and his violent aura gathered above his head, taking the form of a massive spear which was over thirty meters long and ten meters wide.

"Life magic: Judgement spear!" Cyrus roared and when he was about to release the spell, Derik caught his hand.

"Don't waste your energy… we need it…" Derik's gaze was cold and bloodthirsty. But he managed to keep his calm.

After hearing Cyrus' words, his doubts about the safety of his sect members vanished. He finally confirmed that something was happening in the empire and their sects are somehow dragged into it. At first, he wondered if the orcs were responsible for this but when Cyrus mentioned Francis, he realized with was an internal issue. The empire may have banded together to fight against their sects.

"But…" Cyrus muttered. Unable to make a decision.

"Let's say you do this, how sure are you it will get to the empire? We are too far and I think you overestimate our capabilities… You will just end up wasting your energy" Derik gritted his teeth, hating the fact that he couldn't protect the people who chose to follow him at a moment like this.

Woosh!

Dispersing the spell, Cyrus could only slide back and ponder on what to do next. He even began considering returning and forgetting this expedition of theirs.

"Your domain… The passageway there is still open… You can lend them a hand if you can open another passageway from here" Kaido finally spoke up when he was sure, Derik and Cyrus had calmed down.

"I couldn't create a passageway back then…. I was too weak… Demos created it and I only summon it…" Derik refuted the plan.

"Back then you were weak… We are stronger now…" Cyrus said with an excited look on his face.

"Yea… Even if you can't do that alone we can all help you… we will give you our power" Kaido agreed.

"This will mean we will spend an extra day resting to regain our power but it doesn't matter" Derik agreed after a while.

..............................................

"Mid-grade of the gold realm! He broke into that realm so quickly!" Gin frowned as he spoke. He couldn't help but feel reluctant to dive into battle again.

"Francis and Diana are two different people entirely… we can't handle the both of them all alone" Donald agreed.

At this point the blood dome surrounding a large part of the forest reduced, returning to Kira. He pulled out a new set of red and black mage robes from his storage ring.

"You don't have to deal with him… You two and the others should deal with Diana… the three of us will deal with Francis…" Kuen appeared with Kin, gazing at Francis with an indifferent look on their faces.

With a glance, anyone could tell these people were already exhausted. The others couldn't understand why they couldn't let Aldora and Kalos join the battle, things would have been so much easier.

"Why don't let Kalos and Francis join the battle? It will be way easier if we have them on our side" Donald asked.

"It's not that we don't want to have them join us…. We can't… The palace master ordered them to remain in the sect and protect it at all times when we are threatened… I guess the orders backfired. They cant leave the sect now we are in dire need of their help" Kira shrugged.

"It doesn't matter… We are the three demon commanders… Francis may be leagues above Diana but that means nothing…. We will still find a way to deal with it…" Kin added.

"Yea… As long as you all deal with Diana quickly… You can lend us a hand later on… Chill we won't die easily" Kuen laughed.

..........................................…

At that moment the mountains where the two sects began to shake violently and the earth began splitting. The barrier Kalos set over the mountains instantly deactivated and a familiar death and life aura spread all over the empire instantly making the arrogant nature mage turn pale in fear.

"This can't be… they shouldn't be here!" Francis cried out in fear.

"Cyrus…" Diana almost wet herself in fear. She struck down Fernandos with her own hands.

"YOU DARE LAY YOUR HANDS ON OUR SUBORDINATES? HAHAHAHA! ONLY DEATH AWAITS YOU ALL!" Cyrus and Derik's enraged voice shook the skies and the great walls of the empire trembled violently.
