313 Chapter 313: Demos versus Samael 3

Confusion, indecision, realization, and resolve!

These emotions flashed across Derik's hairy wolf-like face before he turned his attention to his guardian spirit who was waiting for Derik's reply with a weird look on his face which made Derik feel even more ashamed of himself. 

Judging based on the indifferent look on Demos' face, Derik could tell the guardian spirit had already made a decision, while he was still contemplating and weighing his options even though Cyrus was his best friend. He couldn't help but feel ashamed and curse his weak mind and fragile heart but Demos didn't bother much about it. He even complimented Derik inwardly for making such a decision so fast and decisive, considering the fact that it was his life that's on the line here and the guardian spirits had little or no part to play in this fight. 

"So what is your decision?" Samael wore the same confident smile on his face which terrified Derik.

Demos quickly turned at Derik's decision, to confirm if they were on the same page before making a move. Seeing the death mage shake his head in disapproval gave Demos a reason to smile as his eyes released a purple light and his calm temperament suddenly turned violent and unstable.

"My disciple said no… I think it's time for you to leave!" Demos growled and promptly gripped the empty air above and then pulled down viciously.

Not even giving the chance to reply, Samael was repeatedly bombarded with numerous death spears from all sides. Forcing him to cast a defensive life technique, divine embrace just to survive the first round.

Almost instantly a massive pair of golden aura wings appeared around the fallen archangel, wrapping around him in a bid to protect him from the death spears

"Didn't you say I can't kill you? Well then let's find out" Demos laughed before lunging forward towards the golden aura wings.

Bang!

With a quick right fist, the golden wings crumbled and the death spears once again crashed down on the former guardian spirit ruthlessly.

"Since you won't give me what I want… I will be forced to take it… even if it means killing you all!" Samael seemed rather calm, ignoring the crumbling divine wings and the death spears raining down on him.

"Life magic: Divine radiance!"

Letting out a war cry, his body released a powerful outburst of golden light that quickly consumed everything in its path, covering close to four hundred meters. Derik and Kaido were forced to retreat with Cyrus in their hands while Demos was too close to escape the technique or maybe he didn't plan on leaving at all.

Bam!

"Tell me, old friend, How do you want to die?" Demos sneered.

"I believe we talked about this a few minutes ago, old friend. There are lots of people who can kill me... But you are definitely not one of them" Samael smiled sheepishly before pressing his finger down on the empty space casually.

Instantly a massive golden finger appeared above them, and rammed the angel of death into the endless sea below, without giving him a chance to retaliate.

"He always falls for that trick" Samael turned his attention to Derik who was shielding Cyrus and Kaido with his massive werewolf body.

Swoosh!

Covering more than five hundred meters in a single breath, Samael stood before Derik, forcing the two-meter tall werewolf to look up to him like a kid looking up to a watchtower. He ran his big palm across Derik's hairy face with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Demos struck gold… He found such a reliable host… If only I had a host as good as you or the life mage… things probably would have ended differently for me… maybe I would have remained as a guardian spirit… Maybe I never would have rebelled against the creator… Demos and I would have still been good friends… the peerless masters of our time and the greatest warriors of our generation" Samael's voice carried hints of sorrow and pain but his face showed no emotions at all.

"How did you recover so much power in a short while… Back then in the sky rift you barely had enough power to take on four hosts… How can you face the angel of death now?" Cyrus struggled to look strong as he spoke but he wasn't fooling anyone.

"Hehehe… Don't tell me you have never heard of the power of faith" Samael wore a doubtful expression on his face. But when he saw the confused expressions on Cyrus and Derik's faces, he was assured that these kids knew nothing about faith,

"Let me guess…. Demos or that weakling Michael didn't speak to you about the power of faith… While Demos has a habit of keeping sensitive information to himself until the last moment… Michael is the creator's lapdog who doesn't even have access to light magic… That's why that crappy shit thought you literarily nothing about life magic and bestowed paths which normal light mages make use of… To be able to match the death mage in power even after lacking so much shows how talented you really are… If you had a guardian spirit capable of using life magic like myself… You would have surpassed the death mage… Just like I surpassed Demos in the past" Samael's words made Derik and Cyrus hearts tremble and they instinctively retreated. Gazing at the former guardian spirit as if he were some archaic beast.
