346 Chapter 346: A Demigod orc?

Boom!

Boom!

Over and over again the massive fist rose and struck at Cyrus repeatedly but even then Derik still didn't look worried. In fact, he wasn't really watching the ongoing battle, he was busy observing the barrier protecting the orc settlement. He still couldn't understand how his Hell flame spell failed to destroy the barrier and concluded that the barrier held up probably because it possessed an unknown special trait that could nullify his power or the person who set up this barrier is just stronger.

As much as Derik would have loved to believe that the first reason is right, he knew it was not so. He literarily couldn't think of anything that could nullify his death magic except for life magic. Meaning the only option left was the second. Thinking of this alone made him grimace while biting down his lower lips hard. At this moment, the only thoughts that ran through his mind was the identity of this being capable of putting up such a powerful barrier.

"A gold realm master at the peak grade? Impossible… there is no way we did be inferior to any gold realm master… not even a demon or angel at the same level can harm us…" Derik refused to believe this barrier was something created by a gold realm master like them. No matter the perspective he chose to look at it from, there is no way a gold realm master can fight against them. The only beings capable of harming them at this level are demigods and god realm creatures.t

"Demigod…" Derik's body trembled slightly upon mentioning the forbidden realm.

Uram took notice of this and for a moment she thought it was fear, Derik was afraid Berivs would kill Cyrus but soon she realized how dumb she was to entertain such thoughts. Derik soon began laughing while trembling with excitement, while it may terrifying to go against being at the Demigod realm, but this could be the only foe capable of making him go all out. At this moment, Derik wasn't really sure how strong he is, the most he knew was that no one on this continent could challenge him. His curiosity got the better of him and he began pondering how he can make the orc responsible for the barrier to show himself.

"You… Who created this barrier and how do I get to this person?" Derik quickly appeared beside the orc shaman before she could flee.

"*\u0026%^%$#" the female orc shaman was startled by Derik's sudden appearance, considering the fact he wasn't paying attention to her earlier.

She quickly released one of her readied spells creating a massive magic circle beneath Derik's feet and the next moment a pillar of flame erupted from the magic circle, completely consuming Derik but even then no screams of pain could be heard.

"Is this meant to slow me down or harm me… Because you failed at both!" Derik's voice reached her ears and before she could react, the death mages hand tore through the sphere of flame around her, grabbing her by the neck. 

With a single flick of his fingers, Derik's aura exploded, forcefully driving away all the elements she had summoned to aid her.

"I suggest you answer my questions… if you do, I promise you death will be swift and painless" Derik said with a reassuring smile that made Uram even more terrified.

She was terrified of Derik but she was even more terrified of the orc he was asking about. The orc he was talking of was even more powerful than Derik and more ruthless than Derik and Cyrus joined together. In her opinion, the overseer is always watching, and it's already bad enough she hesitated in battle, divulging information concerning his whereabout could be considered as betrayal and she can be charged with treason. 

Instant execution!

Rather than pissing it off the overseer, she would rather face Derik and Cyrus at once! That was just how much she feared the overseer.

"Don't underestimate me!" Uram roared.

Suddenly invisible serpents escaped from her mouth, slithering onto Derik's hand. These snakes began coiling themselves around Derik. Soon the bind began to tighten but even then Derik's grip never loosened.

"What an interesting technique… are they venomous?" Derik kept staring at the invisible snakes with a certain level of interest visible in his eyes, stunning Uram.

The void snakes were one of the numerous secret clan techniques of the Url'm clan. The race of orc shamans has always boasted of defeating their foes without them being able to tell how they lost. These snakes were only visible to the caster who gave them life with his or her life force but known to her, no one could hide their life force from Derik and Cyrus who controlled the death and life element. 

Since the serpent was made up of pure life force, Derik could see it clearly. He watched the snake slither up his arms and wrap itself around his neck and even let it sink its fangs into his neck. He was only curious to know what kind of strength this thing possessed.

"How can you see it?" Uram was even more terrified now.

"I am death… I can see anything that has a life force, just like the soul of your comrade I killed a minute ago… he will become a member of my undead army… and with this army, I will wipe out every member of your race… both the women and children as well…. After that, I will kill the one responsible for this damned barrier as well but all of this… you can avoid this if you can just give me the location of that person… I will let you all return to your world… no one has to die" Derik chuckled lightly while staring into the eyes of the invisible serpent
