301 Chapter 301

"As you can see, it didn't end well, just like you predicted... who knew the death mage and the life mage will be able to interfere even when they are so far away… Curse them!" Francis gritted his teeth in anger and curled his fists but there was nothing more he could do. His eyes looked old and displayed his weakness.

"You and Diana will need some time to recover… Draw power from your elements and regain your lost strength… burning your life force just to retain fifty percent of your strength in battle was a foolish move but it was the only move you all could make so I don't really blame you… You will have to stay under the radar, else these battle-hungry undead commanders will end you" Ahika said with a hint of impatience in his tone.

Francis threw Diana a look and realized her hair had turned gray as well and she seemed to have aged greatly. The majestic moon power which always hovered around her was gone and she looked no different from a normal civilian with no powers at all. Francis bit his lower lips in anger but once again couldn't do anything about it, the least he could do now is leave and let the fire guardian spirit host go all out against these undead commanders.

"Throw a punch for us, old friend" Francis said as numerous green vines sprouted from his back and soon shot into the ground. He grabbed onto Diana and soon started phasing into the ground slowly, giving Ahika a slight nod while he left.

"I ain't throwing any punch for you, human… I'm not doing this because I am pleased with your actions… I am only doing this because the empire still needs you and the moon cosmic spirit host:" Ahika hissed while he watched them slowly merge with the ground. As soon as they vanished a crooked smile appeared on his face while he shot Kalos a meaningful glance.

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

The fire sphere surrounding Ahika prevented them from seeing where the man was actually going on inside the sphere. Kalos couldn't see through the blazing sphere but he wasn't bothered since he could still sense the energy signature of the three gold realm mages, he simply watched Aldora relentlessly pummel the fire sphere deeper into the ground.

"Where!" 

Suddenly Kalos' eyes were brimming with mana when Francis and Diana's energy signatures vanished. Even though their energy signatures were too weak due to their condition, there was no way they could succumb to their wounds and just die.

"Gold realm masters don't die that easily" Kalos hissed as he gathered silver mana in both hands preparing to shatter the earth beneath them until those within get caught in his attacks and die as well.

Roar!!!

At that moment the flame sphere exploded and a gigantic fire lizard emerged from it, throwing its massive golden trident at Kalos while he was preparing his attack.

"Didn't I tell you… Those two are under my protection, no one is allowed to harm them!" Ahika roared as he threw a punch at the massive buddha above.

Boom!

The buddha was sent flying from the hit while Ahika was forced to retreat by a few steps. Spreading fire wherever his gigantic feets touched. Soon the whole battlefield was set ablaze.

Hiss!

The shadow lurker hissed and lunged forward at a terrifying speed which only permitted Ahika to see blurs.

Roar!

Ahiak's mouth yanked open and he spat out torrents of flames but the shadow lurker easily evaded this attack, circling the gigantic fire lizard. Ahika's rage path coupled with his growth path, allowed him to become a gigantic flaming demon with destructive capabilities that makes Derik and Cyrus look like weaklings. In reality, if he were to fight any of the two while at the same realm and level, there is a higher possibility that Ahika would come out victorious but in the end all massive creatures like this lack the same thing.

Speed.

The shadow lurker kept circling the gigantic fire lizard, easily escaping his attacks even though its attacks had a large range due to his size but the difference in speed was much.

"You are the greatest opponent, I have fought but for my master's sake… You must be removed here" The shadow lurker's voice was filled with venom and disdain.

Ahika wanted to refute this beasts words but when the shadow lurker suddenly increased in size rapidly, the fire lizard was left astonished for a few seconds, giving the shadow lurker enough time to reach him.

Bang!

The shadow lurkers green claws struck Ahika's red scales and bounced off, leaving the shadow lurker astonished too.

"Die!"

Ahika took a step back and swiped its massive tail at the shadow lurker, which shot into the air like a spring. Its eyes let out a green blow as a green beam escaped its eyes but Ahika was quick enough to use its eyes to shield its eyes, preventing the demonic beast from blinding him.

With the giant lizard covering its eyes with its hands, the shadow lurker took the opportunity to wrap its snake like body around Ahika, attempting to crush him.

"A mere demon beast dares attack me! You are courting death!" Ahika was enraged and he promptly released an outburst of flame, forcing the shadow lurker to loosen its grip and scream in pain.

"Vanish from this world!" Ahika roared as scorching red flames gathered in its mouth, threatening to burst out.

"I will not be defeated by a mere lizard!" The shadow lurker roared in anger as its green eyes lit up and green flames gathered in its mouth.

Fire magic: Salamander Emperor Flames!

Death magic: Underworld sky covering funeral flames!

Both gigantic monsters released their different colored flames at close proximity, creating a powerful shockwave that sent shattered layers of defensive formations set all over the battlefield.
