320 Chapter 320

"I don't know or care about whatever you had in mind initially, but you all owe me one… all of you and I will definitely ask for a favor when the time comes" Kaido emphasized on the favor part while he spoke. His meaningful gaze was fixed on Demos who nodded in agreement to his demands, alongside every other person present.

Only after everyone agreed did Kaido heave a sigh of relief, he briefly bid Derik and Cyrus farewell after which Demos effortlessly created a spatial gate leading back to the empire, leaving the group in despair. To create a passageway leading back to the empire, Derik, Cyrus and Kaido had to join hands and they barely maintained it for a few minutes before their mana ran dry. Yet Demos opened one effortlessly and waited for them to complete their farewell speeches. The fact that the difference in power between a gold ream master and a demigod realm being is so vast once again threw them into despair. They realized they had a long way to go but little time to meet up.

"You said by claiming their inheritance, Derik and Cyrus are bound to reach the demigod realm… Does this mean they are going to jump grades and push past the realm of mortals?" Kaido was already entertaining the thoughts of having two demigod allies and he found it appealing. 

He could hardly hide his excitement when he asked the question, but the look on Derik and Cyrus' face was so disappointing, his dreams shattered even before they could answer him.

"Are you retarded or just plain dumb?" Demos asked with a raised eyebrow, probably wondering how someone could entertain such crazy thoughts.

Like how could mere gold realm masters at the mid-grade of the realm skip the peak grade of the gold realm and jump into the demigod realm directly?

"That's not possible… In the past, there have been many warriors and mages who reached the peak of the gold realm, yet only a handful of them made it to the demigod realm… do you know why?" Samael quickly stepped in and tried to explain. 

In response to his question, every one of them shook their heads in disapproval. They were unable to understand why someone would be unable to cross to the next realm, even after attaining the peak of the previous realm.

The difference between a host and a normal mage wielding a similar element has never been sheer power. But instead, it's their understanding of their element, a knowledge which is improved rather quickly with the help of their guardian spirits. The greatest advantage a host possesses over his or her peers is purely based on their mastery over their elements.

Such an advantage has always allowed them to surpass their peers and quickly widen the gap between them. Those with high mastery of normal magic can always be powerful enough to make someone mistake them for guardian spirit hosts if their mastery over their element is as great as that of another host.

"Basically… You are trying to say we need to have great control over our element to be qualified to enter the demigod realm?" Cyrus' questions made Samael's heart skip a bit since he didn't expect her to finish so soon. As much as he was intrigued by his new disciple's wisdom, he still felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Yes…" Samael answered.

"Our control is already superb and our skills are crazy… What's the need for the inheritance then?" Derik asked.

Xiu!

Raising his hand and pointing a finger towards the sky everyone watched golden aura gather from the environment, camping on the tip of the former guardian knights finger. Like a show, the light aura twirled around his fingertip while taking different forms, captivating all those who watched.

"You see… The difference between Demigods and gold realm mortals like you is quite vast. It's not something children like you all can understand… Unlike you all who consume mana to replenish your lost energy, we demigods can directly draw the power of our elements from anywhere to replenish our strength" Demos explained while flicking his finger, forcing dark aura to gather from all sides into his fingertips just like Samael.

"The difference between a demigod and a gold realm mortal is not something that can be overlooked… the level of understanding needed to achieve this is not something any of you can easily cross even if given a thousand years… those who are capable of doing this in just a few are considered as peak experts and young masters" Demos explained.

"So the inheritance will grant us what exactly? We already possess the true form of the death and life which is purer than yours… so I'm guessing it will grant us more understanding of our elements… Right?" Cyrus asked, making Demos and Cyrus chuckle at his words.

"You are crazy if you think this weak thing you possess is the true power of the death and life magic… In fact, it's pitiful… How do you intend to become gods with this kind of power?" Cyrus laughed

"There is no reason for us to waste more time here… You will understand what we speak of when you the time comes but for now... we have to get going and finish this as soon as possible.
