56 Chapter 56: Revelation 1

Derik closed his eyes once again, hoping this was a dream.

"Stop that… you look stupid when you do things like that" A voice resonated from behind.

His eyes popped wide open the instant he heard the voice, he quickly spun to the left and instinctively reached for his crossbow, but was nothing there

[Damn it… Why can't you at least carry your weapons along when you die] He thought

"Because that doesn't make sense," A man who was over 6ft tall said while staring at the kid with a gentle smile on his face. His purple iris and his cold gaze made Derik instinctively retreat by one step.

"Yes, I know but… I'm still putting on the same clothes… so I thought…" Derik spoke in a low and subdued tone which made the man laugh. He was shocked that this man could hear his thoughts

"Even if this logic of yours should be accepted, you weren't even carrying your crossbow before you died, so why should you have it now?" The man asked while leaning forward towards Derik

"I.. I g-guess yo-u are ri-ght!" Derik stuttered.

Hearing this a charming smile appeared on the man's face and he took a few steps back.

"This brings back memories… don't you think so?... this reminds me of the first time we met… you showcased similar moves back then… back then I was impressed, even now, I'm still impressed by those moves… your reaction speed is really something to be proud of" The man laughed.

Hearing this Derik's eyes widened due to shock, his eyes which has been fixed on the face and eyes of this handsome man ever since the man appeared now darted around the area searching for clues.

[We have met before? Don't tell me…]

His eyes stopped when it finally returned to the man, noticing the familiar black robes the man wore, Derik frowned slightly and silently prayed that his suspicions are wrong. His gaze slowly shifted from the man's attire, back to the charming face and the shocking purple iris…

"I'm screwed," Derik said with a bitter smile on his face.

Seeing the boy has finally realized who he has been talking to for a while, the man laughed

"You finally realized… Your reaction speed may be amazing but your head processes information way slower" The man joked

"What do you want… magic spirit… Have you come to gloat?" Derik sneered.

"Magic spirit? Well, that's what the world calls us all… But I'll prefer it if you address me with the proper title… Guardian spirit or Angel of Death… Anyone will do just fine" the man spoke in a serious tone.

Hearing this, Derik's jaw dropped, leaving his mouth wide open. To think his magic… no… guardian spirit was the angel of death all this while, the grim reaper.

"So Cool…" He whispered. This made the man's smile return once again

"Soooo… Guardian spirit…. Are you hear to reap my soul? Since I'm dead…" Derik asked

"Your death is quite unfortunate… I blame myself for your demise… if I didn't interfere… you probably wouldn't have met this end… it's not yet your time… that I'm sure of" The man sighed as he spoke.

"Interfere?... How?" Derik asked. Apparently, he was looking for someone to blame for his death, since this man was willing to take the blame why shouldn't he let out his anger. By the way, if he succeeds in making the angel of death feel guilty, this man may just revive him… that's if he possesses such powers

"This world will soon be destroyed, according to the rules… we guardian spirits are not allowed to interfere directly…" The man said while sitting on the grass. " We fail to understand why… IT refuses to stop this calamity, who are we to question the almighty?"

Hearing this a wide smile appeared on Derik's face, could this man be talking about 'God'? well, it does make sense. If the angel of death exists, its only natural the creator exists as well. He could still remember those days when he was little, he and his friends argued about the existence of the creator. His friends always refused to believe in this being's existence and called the holy church a fraud. Of course, they dared not do this in public, to avoid a public execution which even the military won't be able to prevent.

"Yes… IT exists" The man said with a gentle smile on his face. Probably amused by the thoughts that raced through Derik's mind.

Hearing this, Derik only nodded with a satisfied smile on his face before asking another question

"So… what are guardian spirits? What makes you guys different from other magic spirits?" Derik asked

The angel only laughed before speaking,

"We guardian spirits are very different from those second class beings, humans call magic spirits…" He said

"How?!" Derik screamed. If any other mage was present to hear what this angel of death actually said right now, they may even overlook its title and accuse it of blasphemy. Even though he just acquired his magic a month ago, he was quite knowledgeable about a few things. To mages, magic spirits could be considered as their gods, following every instruction these reverenced beings gives in hopes of getting stronger

"Don't get impatient young man… give me a chance to explain" The man laughed, tapping Derik's forehead with his index finger…

"We guardian spirits are the first beings created by the creator, to assist IT in the creation of this little world you live in. The magic spirits, you all services are more like minions to us… Poor imitations of us, spread across the world to guide young, gullible mages such as yourself" The man laughed as he stared at Derik whose mouth was wide open due to shock
