337 Chapter 337

If it were in a different situation, he dared not stand against the creator to protect Derik and Cyrus but now things are entirely different. After they consumed the inheritance of the life and death element, they are sure to reach the god realm as long as they are not killed prematurely. Their power may have only risen by a grade, pushing them to the peak grade of the gold realm, but their combined powers were still enough to harm the creator. To the guardian spirits, these two are their hope! These guardian spirits will even let their hosts die if it means increasing Derik and Cyrus' power.

At this point, these two are probably the most important people in this world, harming them now is only slightly easier than slapping a dragon and hoping to walk away alive. Either way, no one was going to let the creator lay his filthy hands on their hope and pride.

"Very well then… I will do them no harm" The glowing red spear vanished and returned to its throne while staring at its injured arm with mixed emotions in its eyes.

At this point, it has already given up on harming Derik or Cyrus. Not only were they protected by the guardian spirits, since they could harm him, they should also be able to harm the other old gods. Before the creator felt it would have to take on the old gods alone since it was the only one present who could harm them, but now two more potential allies have appeared, why kill them off now when you can use them in the war and kill them off then while the other guardian spirits have their hands tied. By the way, fighting the other guardian spirits here is suicide. Even though they are a whole realm below, they still have the power to challenge an old gold if they should work together and if the worst amongst them, Samael should appear, they old god may even lose. The creator was well aware of the fact that these guardian spirits are yet to kill it not because they wanted it alive but they needed it just as much as it needed them. Killing it off will reduce their chances of victory against the old gods to zero, the same goes for it too. The creator knew it couldn't afford to lose the guardian spirits, so all it could do now was fulfill their wishes.

"Interesting…" a vicious grin appeared on the face of the creator as he spoke. The excitement in its voice made the other guardian spirits feel even more uneasy.

...........................

"Stay calm kid… They are back" A familiar voice reached his ears, making him jolt up in shock, shattering the magic array he was preparing.

Even then Blink was too shocked to bother about their only way out been destroyed because of his lack of concentration. He focused on the cold hands on his shoulder and shifted his focus to Gin's face, unable to say a single word. Gin's skin was as white was a sheet of paper just like the other undead generals under Derik's control, apart from the new set of black knights armor he wore, there was no other difference.

"Gin told us everything… You did really good kid… really, really good… I hope you don't mind becoming my disciple… the palace of the dead needs a successor anyway" 

Derik's calm voice shatter the little strength Blink had mustered in the past, making him fall to the ground butt first while gazing at the two people he admired the most in his mind.

"How is my luck so bad? I never get amazing youths like this… I guess I will keep going as sect leader until I find a successor too" Cyrus complained but he still wore a charming smile on his face.

Hearing these words, Fernandos and Agus looked down in shame, unable to look Cyrus in the eyes. Derik and Cyrus wore sleeveless mage robes, black, and gold respectively, each with the hood covering their faces. All these people could see was their glowing eyes which carried so much power, they felt the urge to bow and worship these two.

"Is it just me, or did these two grow taller?" Daemon muttered in shock.

Only after Daemon spoke did everyone realize that Derik and Cyrus were almost twice their size now. They literarily had to look up to see their faces and even then, they found it hard to keep their vision focused on those two since their head kept getting some sort of stinging pain.

"They are no longer humans… They are gods" Diana stuttered in horror. She couldn't feel Derik and Cyrus aura, yet it was hard to breathe even now. There was this oppressive air around them that made her senses scream danger!

"They were never humans! They have always monsters!!" Francis finally panicked crawling away in fear.

Back then he thought after killing of the members of the life and death palace, he could easily focus on his cultivation and break into the peak grade of the gold realm, only then will he be able to stand at the same footing with Derik and Cyrus. But now he just felt stupid for thinking that way! Ahika was at the peak grade of the gold realm just like Derik and Cyrus but it felt like they were a whole realm above the lizard man! Ahika was just like another ant that can be easily crushed when compared to these two!
