This emotionless side of Derik looked domineering ad invincible in the eyes of his teammates, Kira included. Not only did he join the battle epically but he also challenged all three trolls openly, at this point both Kira and Gin felt safe and secure, they wanted to sit back and just watch Derik tear these beasts apart but something about these beasts just made them feel uneasy. Yes, Derik possesses a peak three-star rated magic but that can only take him so far, to become strong a mage has to work for it. In this case, Derik is just like a normal villager equipped with bronze level combat weapons, he may be strong but he still lacks the skills and other requirements to bring out the full power of the magic weapon. Derik may possess a peak three-star rated magic but he still has a long way to go, at this point, he won't be able to take on these monsters alone.
[If only the other…. No, I should even think about it… we will find a way] Kira thought
"You refuse my generous offer? Very well then… I'll strike first" Derik said indifferently"Ooo power of death, grant thy servant thy power and lend thee thy strength... Give me the power to vanquish all those who stand against thy power of death and by the end of this day, thy heads shall hang on the tip of thy spear… Death magic: Bone spear!!!" Derik muttered, almost in an instant, a white bone spear shrouded in black mist.
"Prepare yourselves," Derik said as he reached out for the spear and grabbed it
Bam!
Derik figure instantly blurred, reappearing right in front of the level twelve troll who stood at the center of the other two level twelve trolls covering over fifty meters in just a second, the bone spear in his hand trembled violently and black energy surrounded it as he struck forward
Booom!!!
"What's this…" Derik gasped
Even though the bone spear was not his strongest technique, it still possessed terrifying power, even he the user of the technique doubted if he will be able to walk away in one piece if he is struck by such an attack yet the bone spear couldn't even penetrate deep into the stone troll's skin, it only left shallow cuts on its chest. When Derik's cold gaze met that of the troll, he could tell the magical beast was mocking him
"Impossible" Derik muttered. His eyes widened and he raised the hand wielding the bone spear up, in an instant, the temperature in the battlefield dropped greatly and two black magic arrays appeared at the tips of the bone spear. From those magic arrays, dark energy poured out.At this point, it felt like the air itself trembled, even Kira shuddered involuntarily and took a step backward
[Has he been holding back all this time] Kira thought. Even now he too felt a little fear
"Stop this!!!" Derik growled. With all his might he struck forward for a second time. At this point even the Troll could feel the power the spear contained has increased twofold, wearing a grim expression on its twisted face the troll punched out as well
Bam!
Bam!!
Like a cannonball Derik's body was sent flying, covering over fifty meters in just a second.
"This…" Kira slightly smiles, satisfied with the outcome of the short exchange between Derik and the troll. His gaze shifted to Derik who struggled to get on his feet and he nodded. Derik's bone armor only sustained minor damages meanwhile, Derik's bone spear struck deep into the trolls chest and hot red liquid poured out of the injury on its chest. The troll growled in pain and struggled to pull it out but it didn't bugle instead the dark aura surrounding it increased.
"Now!!!... Let's move out" Kira screamed at Gin who remained silent probably due to the shock. "Don't let the other two interfere… Give Derik the chance to finish off that troll!!!" Kira growled as he dashed forward, his eyes were fixed on one of the stone trolls which walked towards the injured one, trying to help it pull out the bone spear. His eyes turned bloodshot when he realized these trolls were making progress
"Don't mess with me!!!" Kira growled when he reached. His hand curled up to a fist and he struck forward with all his might
Bam!
Bam!!
Bam!!!
Even after delivering three blows he still couldn't get those beasts to move, blood empowerment increases his physical capabilities by leaps and bounds but at a price, after the duration of the skill ends, he is placed in a weakened state and then the blood armor increases his defense using his blood, meaning you can only hurt him when he runs out of blood or if you can dish out attacks faster than the blood armor can regenerate which is very unlikely. These two spells are ranked amongst the most powerful spells in his arsenal yet he couldn't even harm these beasts. Yes, he knew that these beasts had superior defense and could not be easily be defeated with brute strength but he didn't expect his attacks to be so useless. Even now the stone troll didn't even spare him a glance, it focused on pulling out the bone spear from the chest of the injured troll

"Don't you dare look down on me" Kira growled. Suddenly a deep cut wound appeared on his cheek and from there blood poured out, the blood quickly took the shape of a spear and flew into Kira's hand
"Take this… Blood spear" Kira growled and struck forward. The formation of a new spear-like weapon stole the attention of the stone troll, considering what happened to its peer and not daring to be careless, the troll activated on of its signature skills. Its brown fur suddenly thickened, looking like layers of bricks were attached to its body
Peng!
Kira was forced to retreat by one step and his hands felt numb after his attack collided with the stone skin of the stone troll before he could attack once again, he felt like his body got hit by a boulder
Bam!
Kira's body was sent flying and visible cracks could be seen on his blood armor. Meanwhile, the third stone troll was forced to retreat by a few steps, blue energy sipped out of the shallow cuts on its body. Gin at this point was covered in sweat, his grip on his sword was not as tight and firm as it use to be before. He gazed at the ogre which looked down on him and smiled weakly, it felt like a god was looking down on an ant
"You must be tired of living" Gin growled, his sky blue eyes glowed and his body was shrouded a semi-transculent pillar of blue energy, each piece of armor on him trembled greatly and blood slid down Gin's nostrils and eyes. It was quite clear that he was pouring everything into this final attack
"A mere monster dare looks down on me? Unforgiveable" Gin screamed. At this point he forgot about anything that concerned retreating, his pride as a child from a noble family was on the line. Even if he can't win against this monster, he can still give it a scar. All the energy around him suddenly surged towards his bade
"Eat this!!!" He growled and swung his blade at the beast releasing a powerful compressed arc of blue energy which danced towards the troll.
…
…
…
Meanwhile…
Bam!
Bam!!
Bam!!!
Derik constantly retreated as he blocked the assault of two trolls with the bone spear in his hands. The spear already had tiny holes and crack on it, it will be a miracle if it can survive another assault. His pitch-black eyes widened when he saw an opportunity, he quickly spun to the left evading the attack of the second stone troll and almost at the same time a magic array appeared at the tip of the bone spear and black beam of energy shot out, knocking the injured stone troll a few meters away
"Death magic: Death beam" He muttered. He quickly glance and Kira who struggled to get on his feet and Gin who could barely stand.
Woooosh!!!
Reacting a second too late the clenched fist of the stone troll bypassed Derik's defense and struck his bone armor, his body was forced to retreat by a few steps. Before Derik could stabilize himself the stone troll opened its hand and swung its paw forward. Instantly the ground trembled and the earth shattered, gathering and taking the form of the trolls palm only larger this time, this stone palm was more than half of Derik's body size. Seeing this Derik's expression darkened and he quickly struck at the incoming stone hand with the bone spear in his hand
BOOOOM!!!
Derik was sent fly again and this time visible cracks could be seen on his bone armor, in fact, sizable chunks of the bone armor fell off while he struggled to get on his feet.
"I guess winning this battle is only a dream… Everyone retreat… let's get out of here" Kira screamed…"Buy us some time to pick up our stuff… Derik!" He screamed at Derik who nodded in agreement. Using his hand to clean the blood flowing down his nostrils, Derik stretched his hands forward
"God of Death… lord of the underworld… Protect thy loyal servants from these devout… Death magic: Bone wall!!!" Derik screamed. Suddenly the ground trembled violently
Bam!!!!!!
A fifty-meter tall bone wall emerged from the ground separating Derik and the others from the stone trolls, this wall was over fifty meters tall and over two hundred meters long. Even Kira and Gin were shocked by this, a spells power can be increased by pouring in more mana into the spell, the more mana poured into the spell, the stronger it becomes.
"How much mana did he pour into this spell to make something this majestic" Kira inwardly shocked and confused, how can a recruit from the archery class possess so much mana? its has never been heard of before. He ordered them to retreat mostly because he felt that Derik would soon run out of mana, yet this…
[is he a monster?] Gin thought, how can one person possess incredible physique, constitution, mana, and even a peak three-star rated magic. He concluded that Derik must either be a monster or someone highly favored by the gods.
