300 Chapter 300

"What do you mean by that? What's the use of having this power if we can't protect those we love? And what if we refuse to let the few die just to save the many? Only weak gods are forced to make such nasty choices… We! We are not weak… we will complete this journey" Derik said with a confident smile on his face.

With Kaido drawing power from the sun to replenish his lost energy, after a day he should be strong enough to protect them from the beasts of the sky while he and Cyrus recover their own strength. At least that's what he thought.

"Hehehe! You are not that kind of god? do not forget you are just at the mid-grade of the sun realm, you cannot even raise a candle against guardian spirits, not to talk of true gods and cosmic spirits, it is still too early to get cocky, but since you choose to do things this way, I will not interfere in the activities of supreme beings like yourselves" Demos shot them a vicious smile and vanished.

Derik, Cyrus, and Kaido were not left to wonder the meaning behind his words for too long as a loud bird cry shook the skies. Soon a whole horde of wing race beasts large enough to cover the skies swarmed towards them in great numbers.

"Can we win?" Kaido's mind went numb due to fear and he instinctively glided backward.

"What the hell, if we were at full power we will never be able to deal with this number of enemies… This is just too much" Cyrus spat out his thoughts as he experienced fear for the first time in a long while. 

"Run… Just run!" Derik cried out before turning into a beam of light alongside the other two gold realm masters, vanishing the next instant.

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

A ten-meter long serpent-like beast with thick green scales shot out from the mountain ranges, flying directly at Ahika with its blazing green eyes shining bright. But before the beast could reach its target a spatial gate appeared behind Ahika and a fist brimming with mana shot out abruptly, striking at his head.

"GET BACK!" Ahika growled as he unleashed his terrifying flame aura, forcing Kalos to retreat. 

Before he could speak any further, a golden light appeared above the lizard man and a sacred golden buddha figure the size of a small mountain appeared as well, throwing an open palm at the airborne lizard man, alongside the Diana and Francis who were still unconscious with the intentions of squashing them all at once.

"You dare!" Ahika roared in anger.

His aura spiked as he drew power from his rage path, exchanging his rage for power. He promptly let go of Francis and Diana, using his tail to wrap around them, preventing them from falling to far. With his hand raised, he summoned his blazing fire trident and with a loud explosion, a sea of flame poured out, shattering the golden palm after a second of resistance.

He took a deep breath before throwing rapid punches towards the empty air and in response, the hundred palmed buddha launched a barrage of relentless powerful palm attacks. In response, Ahika roared like a crazed beast and released an even greater wave of fire consuming the entire buddha as well.

Puti!

Kira spat out a mouthful of blood when he was struck by a powerful shockwave caused by Aldora's attacks. His eyes looked sunken and he looked extremely weak, but no one had to tell him what to do next. Kira alongside every other silver realm level fighters and mages instantly fleed the scene, dragging the reluctant Fernandos with them too. At their current level, they knew they are not capable of spectating the battle between gold realm masters, so they decided to do the next best thing. The members of the death palace and life palace soon joined hands to evacuate the civilians in the Gyro city which was nearest to the battlefield. While this took place, numerous defensive formations were set up and empowered by thousands of light mages to help reduce the damages that could be caused by the battle while Kira and the other top-ranking members of both sects, began hunting down all those who took part in this conspiracy. Numerous noble families were slaughtered and properties worth thousands of gold coins were destroyed. They didn't have to worry about their lack of mana since their targets were usually humans or elves with little or no cultivation level. They could easily kill them off with the flick of a finger.

Meanwhile…

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

After barrages of attacks, Ahika was buried underground while hundreds of gigantic buddha palms slammed into him mercilessly. The lizardman was frustrated not because he was been suppressed but because he was actually stronger than his oppressor. If it weren't for the fact that he was trying to keep Francis and Diana alive, he would have easily powered through this barrage of attacks and put an end to this undead commander.

"Thanks" Francis's voice reached his ears, giving the frustrated lizard hope. 

At the moment, he was on his knees, within a fire barrier created by his fire trident, while Francis and Diana were laying on the ground right next to him. Francis looked pale and his green hair had turned gray as a result of whatever method he used to boost his strength and suppress Cyrus aura when he fought Fernandos. His eyes were sunken and he had dark circles below his eyes coupled with dry lips and wrinkles all over his skin. At this moment, he aura was weaker than that of even silver realm fighters, it looked like he had aged greatly after the battle.

"They sure did a number on you… I asked you not to get involved in this mess the nobles cooked up… How did it turn out for you?" Ahika voice oozed of sarcasm but his facial expression remained indifferent while he spoke.
