349 Chapter 349: Battling a demigod! 1

"He is our race's hope… for that reason… I can't let you harm him" The overseer said with a calm smile on his face which could not be seen.

With the hood draped over his head, all that could be seen was darkness and a pair of blazing green eyes, terrifying enough to make Cyrus retreat instinctively as soon as he spotted it. But Derik was different!

Coupled with his hunger for chaos as the harbinger of death and his werewolf side, his body was currently trembling with excitement, up to the point where he consciously had to make an effort to prevent himself from attacking the overseer.

"Well��� Death has come for his soul… I suggest you hand it over!" Derik said.

At this moment, his eyes turned gray and his voice was hoarse. All those hearing it could tell it was not just a person speaking! It was like hundreds of thousands of voices overlapping each other. With this, Cyrus could tell Derik was already using his necromancy ability.

"Necromancy path: Legion" Cyrus muttered while shaking his head.

This ability allowed Derik to merge with all the souls he has consumed so far, granting him all their abilities, memories, and skills. This could be considered as his trump card when using his necromancy skills and what even stunned Cyrus more was that Derik used one of his trump cards without hesitation, this made him believe he made the right decision by fleeing the moment he realized the orc overseer had arrived.

Back in the empire…

While the gold realm masters and the top silver realm masters were still trying to make sense of what happened back at the powerless human settlement and also trying to understand how Derik and Cyrus got so strong, the three undead commanders, Kalos, Aldora, and Gin were soon engulfed in darkish green aura and they could hear a powerful enticing voice.

"Return to me! Your master needs you!" Derik's voice made the ground tremble and even gold realm masters like Diana and Francis shuddered in fear.

Even though Gin had only been an undead for less than an hour, he too felt compelled to help return to Derik as soon as possible, to aid his new master in any way he could.

"How is this possible… even when he was at the silver realm and fought against me... he still didn't need your help when he utilized the necromancer path: Legion!" Aldora said to Kalos with a flustered look on his pale face.

"A demigod!" Kalos blurted out after giving the matter some thought.

He was aware of Derik and Cyrus' strength and just like the others he was very sure there was no way gold realm masters could trouble Derik and Cyrus anymore. The fact that Derik would request for their souls to return simply meant that they were battling a demigod! Only such an existence can push Derik to this point.

"Hehehehe! Those two are addicted to battling foes a realm ahead of them… They seem to enjoy embarking on suicidal tasks… what are we waiting for? Let's go serve our master well!" Aldora said and the other two nodded in agreement before letting the darkish green flames consume them until nothing was left.

Meanwhile, the gold and silver realm experts and masters left behind could not hide their shock when they heard the conversation between the three gold realm undead commanders. Not only did Derik and Cyrus destroy a single settlement with a single attack, now they were battling Demigods. While most of them were relieved that Derik and Cyrus had become so powerful, meaning the empire would become a safer place under their leadership, people like Diana and Francis were soaked in sweat when they remembered they had joined hands to attack Derik and Cyrus sects, and successfully killed thousands of their loyal followers!

"I will definitely become like him! One day I will… Just watch me!" Blink who has always been cold and reserved was bubbling with excitement at this point. He felt proud to be a member of the palace of the dead and he was sure, Kira, Kuen, Kin, Agus, and Fernandos felt proud of serving the two sect masters capable of rivaling a demigod in battle!

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

Like a rocket, countless darkish green flames flew across the continent, gathering at one point, Derik!

His eyes yanked open and a gray mist exploded from his body, followed by a lighter darkish green aura that blended together while spreading across the skies. Soon several blazing green orbs surrounded his body and when clasping his hands together, he used his green flames to craft a bow and the green orbs of flames took the shape of an arrow. Each surrounded by the power of different elements, from all the souls he was drawing strength from.

"True necromancy path: Legion emperor!" Derik said with a confident smile on his face
