304 Chapter 304

Roar!!!

Derik charged forward fearlessly, diving into the massive horde of flying creatures. His bright red eyes glowed fiercely as the death aura hovering over his claws thickened considerably.

Secret combat technique: Brilliant claw!

With a loud roar, he brandished his claws at his foes, releasing countless claw-shaped aura attacks but these wing creatures dodged the attacks effortlessly, making Derik curse his stupidity. Such fast creatures capable of catching up to them easily can not be caught by such straightforward attacks. Not even one was hit.

"Dang it" Derik growled while considering his next line of action.

Diving into the horde of monsters there meant instant death, both for him and Kaido. Removing ranged attacks from the list of possible attack methods also shattered their hopes of winning this battle in Derik's mind.

"I will initiate the attack… both of you will follow" Cyrus said before clasping his hands together and releasing a massive amount of life aura above him.

Guardian weapon path: Divine broadsword!

Kaido and Derik watched in silence as the massive golden broadsword formed above them and the majestic aura circling Cyrus slowly faded as well. While Derik's death magic granted him the immortal undead body, Cyrus received abundant life force. Enough for him to give life to others and even cheat death on numerous occasions just like this one. He didn't hesitate to use his life force as fuel for his spells since he was lacking manner. At most he would lose a few hundred years of his life span which was near infinite.

Derik was considered immortal because of his immortal body that will never age. Unless his body is entirely destroyed until not even a drop of blood is left, he will most likely live forever. While Cyrus had so much abundant life force that he may actually live forever. With the two possessing immortality like traits, they refused to die a worthless death at the hands of these magic beasts without risking their immortality at least

"The creators favorite…" Cyrus muttered as he drew power from the life force of the hundreds of birdmen hovering above them, further strengthening the power of his guardian weapon.

"Split the skies, shatter the heavens!"

Xiu!

With a loud bang, the golden divine broadsword shot forward like a spear towards the hordes of hundreds of birdmen hovering above them. In response, the birdmen hovered to the sides at an astonishing speed to evade the attack but to their greatest surprise, the guardian weapon did not fly past them. Instead, it stopped and hacked at them mercilessly, instantly shattering their formation while slaughtering a few that were caught off guard.

"Nice one…" Derik laughed as he drew power from the negative emotions of these bird-like beats.

Death magic: Bone armor!

With what was left of his mana, Derik chose to reinforce his defense by dawning his bone armor atop his massive wolf body before diving forward.

Chirp!

One of the birdmen cried out before diving towards the flying werewolf. Its talons were soon engulfed in green aura as it struck at Derik's chest, hoping to rip it apart with one blow but Derik managed to drift to the side just at the last moment to escape the attack. He quickly swung his claw at the birdman but before his attack reached, the birdman was already gone.

"Where!" Derik growled anxiously before a loud bang could be heard from behind and a warm red liquid poured all over him.

"You are lacking in speed… don't try to beat it at its own game… just overpower them, I'm sure they will find it hard to kill you, so I don't see any reason for you to dodge… to be honest blustering your defense with the little mana you had was a dumb move too… you should have strengthened your attack instead"

Derik turned around to see the Birdman's headless body in Kaido's firm hands. After using his path, he was like a whole different person entirely. Someone bold enough to give Derik and Cyrus pointers in battles and reprimand them when they made mistakes but this didn't bother them at all.

"Okay big shot… Go get them!" Derik sneered.

"I'm not your dog, dog!" Kaido snarled before shooting forward.

His movement speed left Derik jealous and he was forced to spend a second wondering how someone so big could move so fast. Under his envious gaze, Kaido appeared beside a birdman and slapped away its head effortlessly.

"How can these beasts be considered gold realm magic beasts if they are this weak?" Kaido grunted in disgust.

Before Derik could respond two birdmen appeared right in front of him and struck his chest with their golden talons. Taking Kaido's advice, Derik didn't try to dodge. Instead, he welcomed their attacks with open arms and watched their golden talons shatter his bone armor and promptly penetrated his chest.

"Cute" Derik growled while watching black blood spurt out of his injured chest.

Wooosh!

His hands moved so fast that the birdmen couldn't react since they were too close. He promptly grabbed their heads and crushed it effortlessly, confirming Kaido's words.

"These beasts are too weak to be at the gold realm" Derik tossed the two birdmen aside, waiting for the new batch of enemies heading his way.

Bang!

Puti!

Cyrus staggered backward as his massive divine guardian weapon was blasted meters away by the joint effort of two birdmen. He spat out a mouthful of golden blood and shot a glance at Derik.

"What they are lacking in defense, they made up for it with their ridiculous offensive power!"
