The moment he was done saying those words, a powerful golden shockwave exploded from his body and when it made contact with the darkness, both Demos and his death aura were blown away. Once again all the darkness faded, replaced by the strong light which shone too bright. The other guardian spirits watch Demos struggle to rise on his feet while spitting out a mouthful of black blood and only one thought crossed their mind.
THE DIFFERENCE IN REALM IS JUST TOO HIGH.
After sacrificing a lot for Derik, Demos could be considered the weakest guardian spirit in terms of the realm since he was at the low grade of the demigod realm. Even the overseers of the other old gods are at the mid-grade of the demigod realm. But even then, none of them dared to go against him because Demos had a long history of defeating foes grades above him. Even when Samael attempted to overthrow the creator in the past, amongst all the guardian spirits, only Demos could fight him head-on and went as far as dealing a fatal blow before his defeat.
But this time the realm gap is just too high.
They watched Demos rise on his feet but to their greatest surprise, there was no anger or rage on his face but a charming smile which they haven't seen in a while.
"When I think about it… You are right… I may not be happy with your methods but you have always acted this way with this world's interest at heart… Hehehe… I am the one with the death magic here yet I am the soft one… anyway, the deed has already been done… I can only entrust Derik and Cyrus safety in your hands and you also have to promise never to repeat this act again… Don't even think of suggesting such a method to them… If you do that, I will be forced to kill you with these hands" Demos always had a smile while he spoke but when he said the last part, the smile faded.
It was clear he was serious and meant every single word he said.
"Hahahaha! Sure, sure… You have my word, old friend… I will not let them know about this method… It's our little secret" Samael nodded.
Bam!
"Ooooh… You are there, I almost didn't notice you" Samael walked past Demos, approaching the Creator fearlessly.
"Hahahaha… Because you reached the god realm through the use of diabolical methods you think you can challenge me? You have grown cocky over the centuries little life guardian spirit" The creator stood by his throne while he spoke. Soon numerous angels flocked around it, acting as a wall between the creator and Samael.
"You seem to have become bolder than before old god… the last time we fought I remember I left you with a parting gift… How are your injuries doing… With your cultivation level, I am sure you must have found a way to recover…. I would have loved to kill you now but unfortunately for me, this world needs you… For the sake of these guardian spirits and for the sake of this planet, I will not harm you… For now" Samael sneered.
Hearing his words shocked the guardian spirits greatly. After the battle between the creator and Samael, Samael escaped from the heavenly realms and for some strange reason, the creator did not pursue. The creator had meditated in seclusion for centuries and back then they assumed the creator didn't chase after Samael because it felt it could kill Samael at any time… they assumed Samael was outrightly defeated but considering his words right now and the creator's silence, the guardian spirits finally understood what transpired after their defeat… Samael was defeated but the creator sustained fatal injuries as well, that's why it chose not to chase after him. That's why it chose to hide and use meditation as an excuse to hide and recover from its injuries.
"Yes… The creator is practically one of the weakest amongst the old gods… That's why I chose to remove it on that very day… unfortunately things didn't go as planned… It has been feeding off the life force of every being that has died from the very beginning… improving its strength with the resources meant for the new gods… Only after centuries of cultivation did it finally surpass the other old gods… But originally it was the weakest… It noticed it… that's why I chose to eliminate it" Samael said. Revealing even more about the creator.
"SILENCE! WHY ARE YOU HERE, GUARDIAN SPIRIT OF LIFE?" The creator was enraged but even then it still didn't move to attack Samael, confirming his words once again.
"Why am I here? Well… Let's just say I am here to remove this imposter… There can only be one life guardian spirit" Samael declared!
