360 Chapter 360: Power of demigods

"Of course they are… It's just that they have surpassed the level of we mortals… It shouldn't take too long before they become Demigods… only then will this continent be safe… But first, they must survive against their current foe…" Kaido said.

"Of course they will win… Palace master Derik is the strongest… Palace master Cyrus is his eternal rival so he's just as strong… whenever they join hands they are invincible!" Blink had lost all his cool kid act, smiling like the kid he is.

"Hehehe! Of course, our palace master cannot lose… Death shall never know defeat!" Kira laughed.

The empire's peak experts could only watch from a distance as the green mist began to spin violently, forming a massive green hurricane. Ever since the overseer decided to stop holding back, his aura has been all over the place. These supreme masters couldn't even feel Derik or Cyrus and at a point, even Elsa, the elf representative closed her eyes and silently prayed to mother nature for Derik and Cyrus' safety.

Everyone knew that if both of them are defeated, the empire won't even last a minute against this demigod.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! IF THIS IS THE TRUE STRENGTH OF A DEMIGOD, THEN I MUST SAY I AM DISAPPOINTED!" Derik's peals of laughter echoed through the skies, reaching the ears of everyone on the continent.

"HEHEHE! THERE IS NO REASON TO FEAR CITIZENS OF THE EMPIRE, THIS WON'T TAKE LONG!" Cyrus said.

While Derik's words made the blood of all those who heard him boil, Cyrus' words brought comfort to the hearts of those who heard it. Everyone who hid in their homes now stepped outside cheering for their champions who were currently risking their lives for their sake. 

BOOM!

BOOM!!

Two thunderous sounds spread across the skies and a darkish green and a golden hurricane comparable to the overseer's green hurricane appeared in the skies, causing people to cheer even more loudly. While most of these people were probably among those who have spoken against Derik and Cyrus sect in the past, this situation was quite different. At this point, the past didn't matter anymore! All these people could see were two men fighting to protect them at all costs.

"Be it a demigod or even a true god our sect masters are invincible!" members of both sects roared as loud as they could

All the members of their sects who heard their voices stood up with watery eyes, they were proud to know that their sect masters whom they have been waiting for a long time now, had returned. Not only that but they have already begun to vanquish their enemies as soon as they arrive. 

...........................…

"We are protecting them anyway, so it really doesn't matter if we took advantage of them this one time… By the way, if we die they will be dead soon after" Derik didn't really seem bothered by the overseer's actions. He remained calm slowly feeding off the energy of every civilian in the empire.

Derik and Cyrus' words were not only meant to reassure the people of the empire but it was also to force them to feel. Using this method, Derik fed off their fear and hatred for the overseer while Cyrus drew strength from them in mass! Using their life force and negative emotions to strengthen themselves, Derik and Cyrus had prepared their mind to battle this overseer to the very end. In their opinion, they have created a strong grudge with the orc overseer, so it didn't matter if they survive today or tomorrow. The overseer will keep coming for them!

"True life magic: Supreme being of the heavens" Cyrus roared.

Since his opponent has chosen to reveal its true form, Cyrus had no need to worry anymore. His body size kept increasing until he had reached the same height as the overseer. Adorned in a golden knights armor, coupled with the four golden angelic wings and the two golden spears in his hands, Cyrus looked like a divine being sent to bring justice to the world.

"True death magic: Devil beast of the underworld" Derik chuckled while saying those words.

While absorbing the inheritance, their bodies underwent its final changes. While Cyrus became a golden knight of Justice just like Samael when he fought against the other demigods alongside Demos, Derik became something different. He would have taken the lich emperor form just like his guardian spirit Demos but due to his werewolf form, Derik became something else entirely.

Body size grew to match that of Cyrus and the overseer but his look was entirely different. Derik was no different than how he normally looked. The only difference was that he had blazing darkish green eyes, fangs, and claws, a pair of black demonic bat-like wings, and a massive death scythe levitating by his side. He was topless, revealing his perfect body shape, abs, and muscular build, wearing only a black leather pant.

Upon the appearance of Derik and Cyrus' true form, the green mist surrounding the overseer was blown away by their aura, revealing the massive orc hiding within it. The three demigod-level masters slowly approached each other destroying mountains and landscapes with each step they took while one sent forth death and pestilence, the other oozed of life. 

If it weren't for the fact that Derik and Cyrus were consciously trying to suppress their aura and the overseer's aura, all life on the continent below the gold realm would have seized to exist by now. Derik and Cyrus were aware of this, and that was why they were unwilling to make the first move.
