321 Chapter 321

Bang!

The spatial gate shattered as soon as Kaido passed by but the stern look on his face remained as he gazed at the empty space, behind Derik and Cyrus. While Demos was disturbed, Samael seemed furious, both of them gazing at the same spot.

"Don't you think you all are too old to be playing such nasty tricks?"Samael roared and three figures appeared directly behind Derik and Cyrus, with their hands placed on their shoulders.

Derik and Cyrus were startled and tried to move but some sort of invisible force prevented them from moving a finger, only minor gestures were allowed. They failed to understand how three people with such powerful life force could sneak up on them without them noticing, the most horrifying part of the whole issue is that they still can't sense their life force even though they were gazing at them right now.

Amongst the three, two wore a white robe with a golden crucifix at the center with a chaplet hanging loosely around their neck, each possessing a pair of wings and dazzling golden eyes. These people are the reason why Samael lost his cool in the first place because one is a former pope of the holy church while the other is the current Pope of the holy church. Each possessing the legendary demigod realm cultivation base, yet the always listened to Samael's order.

"I don't remember asking any of you for help… why are you here?" Samael's voice carried enough venom to kill even the creator, scaring the shit out of those two men. Even if they have chosen to abandon the man they once prayed to as a god, that doesn't necessarily mean they have overcome their fear of him.

"Now, now, old archangel… Don't go about instilling fear into the loyal soldiers of the creator… It's not nice" the angel with plain white hair and intensive glowing golden eyes spoke. He had two pairs of golden wings and wore a golden armor with a golden spear hanging loosely on his back.

"Michael… take you hands off those two first… or I'll kill you" Demos finally spoke. The frown on his face was finally gone, replaced with a sadistic looking smile with even sent chills down the spine of the angel.

"You… You are one of the soldiers of the creator… You must help us vanquish this enemy of the heavens!" Michael roared, ignoring Demos' threats.

Swoosh!

Finally, Derik and Cyrus were able to move again and when they looked over their shoulder s, they saw the severed hands of the three men still gripping on to their shoulders and no matter how much they pulled, they couldn't remove it. 

"I am no one's pet, neither are you allowed to boss me around, remember that or the next time… I'll be sure to kill you off for good" Demos hissed. He knew these people all possessed great control over the light element and he watched them regrow their severed hands but he wasn't bothered by this.

"What are you saying? Do you dare attack the faithful servants of the creator? Did you join hands with this traitor as well?" Michael said while pointing a finger at Samael while he accused Demos of betrayal.

"I see you are eager to die… Am I right?" Demos was quite stunned by Micheal's attitude.

Originally this person was just an average angel with the mid-grade of the gold realm as his cultivation base. And after Samael's betrayal and banishment, Michael was elevated by the creator and given the position of the guardian spirit of life. Reaching the demigod realm was as a result of the creator using its power to forcefully push him over his limits and into a greater realm.

Yet it is still considered a waste since all it possessed was normal magic and even its mastery and control of his element was still not on par with that of other guardian spirits, making him the weakest. In the past, Michael always tried hard to avoid conflict with the other guardian spirits even if it meant running and throwing away his pride. Over and over again, Michael has chosen this path and has never looked back, so Demos never expected him to be so gutsy.

"So it is true you have betrayed the creator at last… Unfortunately, you must be removed by me, before you become a problem" Michael said as he slowly approached Demos. 

Meanwhile, Derik and Cyrus stood hundreds of meters behind Samael while he was confronted by the two popes. Choosing to stay that far and at the same time so close to the formation was a good call since they could escape into the portal when necessary, just in case, things go south.

"Kill me? You? HAHAHAHAHA! I MAY HAVE LOST A LARGE PORTION OF MY POWER WHEN NURTURING MY HOST, BUT YOU, MY FRIEND, YOU ARE FAR FROM BEING ABLE TO KILL ME… IT'S A THOUSAND YEARS TOO EARLY FOR YOU CHALLENGE ME, BOY!!!" Demos roared as he released his death aura with a loud bang.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, the aura spread fast and far like a plague.
