311 Chapter 311: Demos versus Samael 1

The combined strength of a demigod and a werewolf alpha greatly surpassed Samael's tolerance level, so he was sent flying easily by their combined attacks. Unfortunately for the fallen archangel, Derik was not willing to let him go with a single punch and proceeded to chase after the former Guardian spirit.

Roar!

Not daring to waste more time, Derik quickly shapeshifted into a werewolf, taking into account that his foe was could easily overwhelm his spells, so he chose to rely on his physical strength.

Xiu!!

Derik appeared beside Samael while he was yet to gain control of his body, swinging his claw viciously at his for.

Bang!

The power behind the punch far surpassed Samael's expectations and once again he was sent flying due to Derek's supernatural strength.

Bang!

Once again, Derik intercepted his flight just at the right time to deliver another blow, repeating the process over and over again.

"Had your fun? Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end" Samael said calmly as soon as Derik arrived to deliver another hit.

The next moment, the fallen archangel released a powerful shockwave of life energy and blew Derik away effortlessly, only then did he wipe off the golden blood trickling down his nostrils.

Bam!

Demos suddenly appeared and caught Derik who was still flying away uncontrollably. He quickly placed his hands on his chests to check for any hidden injuries, letting go of Derik only when he was sure Derik is perfectly fine.

"Why are you here Samael?" Demos breathed out a sigh of relief while he spoke.

"Hehehe! You finally wish to talk… but is that how you speak to an old friend?" Samael chuckled.

Demos simply ignored his remark and moved towards Cyrus who was in a terrible condition. Since his guardian weapon was linked to his soul, allowing him to control the powerful weapon with just a thought, Cyrus is forced to share the damage the weapon sustains in battle. At this moment, his soul was badly damaged due to the fact that his guardian weapon was destroyed. Rendering him incapable of fighting at the moment. In Demos's opinion, his condition will only get worse if he doesn't find a way to heal the damage received.

"Fine… I came here for that kid… I'm here to take his body" Samael said while pointing a finger at Cyrus but his line of sight was soon blocked by Derik's large wolf body.

"You see… my host has developed feelings for the life mage… they are more like brothers now… what makes you so confident I'll let you take his body?" Demos sneered.

Hearing this, Demos fell into deep thought, considering Samael's words. From the very beginning, he has known Samael for so many things. His greed, his thirst for power but never as a liar. At this point, he was forced to look back on the period of Derek's breakthrough into the mid-grade of the gold realm. Even he realized that the death aura hovering around Derik was thicker than the death aura hovering around him. He only overpowered Derik back them due to the difference in the realm but he was sure if such difference was not there, Derik may be able to defeat him with his greater variant of the death magic.

"How did I not notice?" Demos was stunned by the discovery and shot Derik a meaningful glance.

Demos could easily be considered a very smart and crafty being so he really didn't need Samael to explain the second part of his plan. At the moment, Derik and Cyrus are on a journey to the center of the god vein where they can acquire their inheritance. While the birdmen were tasked with preventing travelers from migrating to another continent, they were also created to make sure the Guardian spirit hosts wielding the powers of the continent can only reach this place when they ready. Only when their body has acquired the true essence of their elements will they be able to acquire the inheritance and rise to the realm of the demigods.

With the birth of a demigod wielding the inheritance of the death element, the cycle of reincarnation will end and there will be no new death guardian spirit host, the same goes for the other elements.

Demos was quite sure Derik and Cyrus are qualified to acquire this power, ever since they possessed the immortal body and the abundant life force. The inheritance of the god vein will surely accept them, just as long as they get there safely.

"If we should take their bodies now… we can acquire the inheritance for ourselves… we can shatter the creators hold on our souls and become the new gods capable of rivaling the old gods and even surpassing them!" Samael licked his lips while he spoke.

Upon hearing those words both Derik and the badly wounded Cyrus were startled. They quickly prepared themselves mentally for the worst while gazing at Demos who was lost in his thoughts, hoping the angel of death will not disappoint them and switch sides at the moment they need him the most.

Even Derik couldn't deny the fact that the offer was quite enticing. He has always believed in taking matters into his own hands and not relying on anyone's strength. If Demos had the same thoughts as him, he should be more than willing to take over Derik's body, take the inheritance and protect this world on his own.
