353 Chapter 353: I am not dead yet!

"It's been so long since I have said these words… I can't the fact that even I am excited by this battle! Guardian weapon path! Spit the skies, shatter the heavens!" Cyrus roared.

The massive guardian weapon levitating above his head soon began to tremble for a few moments before it doubles in size, diffusing an even more intense divine aura than before.

"Shatter!" Cyrus roared as he pointed at a particular part of the black ocean where the orc overseers aura signature could be found.

Shriek!

The divine guardian weapon quickly let out a loud cry before descending from the skies like a comet. The sheer size of the guardian weapon allowed it to block out the sun while making hills surrounding the area look small.

Booom!

Upon collision, the attack created a loud bang sound, coupled with a powerful shockwave strong enough to temporarily separate the river for a few seconds. The power of the attack was satisfactory and Cyrus was pleased with his newfound strength, the only problem at this moment was that the attack failed to hit.

Xiu!

It may have been for only a split second but Cyrus saw the green spear flying at him at a speed which made Cyrus see only after images as he moved. The life mage at this time forcibly propelled himself to the side, barely escaping the green aura spear attack.

At that moment, he returned his gaze to the river only to realize the overseer was no longer there. 

"Damn it!" Cyrus roared as he clasped his hands together creating a golden sphere all around him.

Bang!

The massive green spear struck the golden sphere just a split second after it was erected. Surprisingly, the impact was strong enough to make Cyrus' head spin, and his vision blur for a short while. The image of the overseer standing on the green spear with a crazed look on his face. Apparently, none of his clothes survived the black see and his thick green skin seemed to be peeling off as well.

Seeing the overseer in such a condition left Cyrus even more stunned. The life mage wasn't sure he would survive if he were to fall into the black river without any source of protection, yet the orc overseer did it. Although he was still suffering from the effects of Derik's blood, he could still pull out enough power to almost one shot Cyrus.

Xiu!

Suddenly two spatial gates appeared in an instant! One below Cyrus and the other beside the overseer! All this happened so fast that even the overseer didn't have time to react to it.

Boom!

While Cyrus fell into the spatial gate leading to another location in the area, Derik dived out of the second gate, dragging the overseer with him until they reached the green barrier surrounded the orc settlement! Only then did he proceed to smash the overseer's head on the barrier.

Bang!

Like an arrow, Derik shot back and only regained control of his body after he had covered hundreds of meters. His eyes were completely black as he spat out a mouthful of black blood while watching the hole on his chest close slowly.

"Don't you dare forget about me… I am not dead yet!" Derik roared at the overseer who was pulling himself away from the green barrier.

Seeing the fist-sized hole on Derik's chest slowly close up, the overseer's expression turned bitter as he kept considering how best to deal with Derik and the rest. The damage Derik had just sustained in that fight should be enough to kill any mortal realm expert and even the demigods would need some time to completely heal from it, yet his wounds were healing at a visible rate, making the overseer's heart tremble. 

At this moment the overseer realized that Derik's hands which were completely destroyed had regrown and they were in perfect condition. He couldn't wrap his head around what was happening or how Derik was able to heal so fast.

Currently, Derik's eyes were pitch black and all the hair on his body stood up. His claws and fangs had sprouted and he seemed slightly taller than usual. If the overseer didn't have prior information about Derik and Cyrus, he would have assumed Derik was from the colony of beast men invaders while Cyrus is a member of the wing men race.

"I don't think it's a good idea to give me enough time to recover…" Derik's voice was quite deep and hoarse.

Just like Cyrus, he was extremely excited. At this point, he has been forced to combine the necromancy path: Legion emperor and his werewolf abilities. He could feel the different energies gathering within his body to form something new.

While he had the immortal body, the orc overseer didn't. At this moment, most parts of his skin had turned gray, and even then more spots were still rotting! The orc overseer smelt like death and it was only a matter of time before he is unable to withhold the rotting effect of Derik's aura.

"It's a shame you had to die protecting the people you love… You orcs have my respect" Derik said
