312 Chapter 312: Demos versus Samael 2

"And you say you know how to directly take control of a body and make it yours?" Demos asked after a few minutes of silence.

Death magic: Death spear!

He waved his hand and effortlessly created a darkish purple aura spear. He shot Derik a meaningful glance before shifting his attention to Cyrus and then moved back to Samael.

"Of course I know how to use such a spell… This world is filled with treasures and lots of crazy loots… so much you will be shocked" Samael laughed. He was obviously pleased by Demos' reaction to his words.

"How sure am I you are bullshitting me here?" Demos' eyes turned completely black and his death aura kept oozing out of his body slowly.

"You have heard of elder Samuel… the supposed immortal elder of the holy church who has been serving as the advisor of all the popes ever ordained in the holy Church… Who do you think that person really is?" Samael chuckled lightly while he spoke.

"what are you trying to say? You are that elder?" Derik asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Hehehe… don't bullshit me now… have you ever heard of someone capable of living forever? The wingmen race possesses a powerful life force which makes even the weak amongst them live for more than two centuries and the strong live for over a thousand years but it doesn't grant them immortality… All that the lord of life gifting him with immortality is all bullshit… don't tell me you actually believed that?" Samael raised an eyebrow while he asked the question, refusing to believe Demos actually believed such nonsense.

"I had my suspicion since you are the one backing the holy church… the so called Lord of light they pray to… But then again, it doesn't make sense… why would you chose to take the body of an old man and become just an elder in your own group when you can just become the immortal pope and rule everyone with an iron fist?" Demos sneered refusing to believe Samael's claim.

"If I were the pope… I would have never been able to recover my power and regain this much strength… there are lots of responsibilities which I prefer to avoid… its much easier when you control it from the shadows" Samael confessed.

"This…" Demos muttered and got lost in his thoughts once again.

In his opinion, Derik just like every other host is too young and impulsive. They make lots of mistakes and are usually led by their emotions. Demos only invested so much in Derik because he knew they were running out of time. He couldn't afford to lose another host and wait for the reincarnation process. From that point, Derik has been his only hope and probably his best shot but now the situation has changed.

Now he has the chance to take Derek's role as the host and protect this world which he loves so much, wouldn't it be dumb for him to refuse such an offer?

Finally! A loophole in the system that can be used in his favor!!

"So what do you say, old friend? " Samael shot Derik a warm smile once again.

"This the most interesting offer you have given me so far…It is almost impossible to refuse… Almost!" Upon saying those words, Demos summoned twenty more death spears.

He skillfully controlled them with his mind, promptly surrounding Samael before he could even react.

"We were given the roles of guardians for a reason Samael…. Don't blur the lines, don't reach out for something that you know so little about... There are still so many unknowns…. This world has put up countless measures to make sure only the hosts can get their hands on the inheritance… Even the creator can't reach it and even got badly hurt the last time it tried. Do you think this world won't have a means of countering this so called loophole you have found?" Demos asked.

"We will never know until we try" Samael's answer was simple yet so convincing that Demos hesitated for a second.

"Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you?" Demos sneered.

Hmph!

Samael grabbed a death spear with his bare hand and shattered effortlessly.

"I will give you two… First, you can't kill me… and second I pose no threat to you or your host… if you can give me the life mage I'll be on my way" Samael said. Not showing any signs of worry.

"And why would I do that? The life mage is my disciple's dear friend… why would I give him up so easily? What do I get in return for this exchange?" Demos flicked his finger and the death spears slowly approached Samael.

"In exchange… you little disciple will have a more capable and experienced ally in the fight against the creator and the old gods… His chances of victory will be higher than ever… with both of us guiding him, there I see no reason why he won't become the perfect host you have always been searching for" Samael laughed.

At this point, Cyrus' heart skipped a beat while Demos cursed himself for asking such a question. He should have already known this from the very start. Not only is Samael more experienced but he is a better fighter and a perfect strategist who dared to plot against the creator in the past. No one dared look down on this fallen archangel and everyone was very much aware of his worth as an ally. If he truly decides to take Derik's side and support him, Demos has almost no need to worry. He can entrust the Derik's safety in Samael's hands since the former Guardian spirit is no longer bound by the strict laws of the creator!
