61 Chapter 61: Truth

Before Derik could gloat on his amazing victory against the mid-level silver class adventurer, the voice in his head deemed it the best time to reveal the sad truth to him and spoil the show

"Before you start getting wild ideas just know this… Even though this man is a silver class adventurer according to the way you humans say it, he still wields nature magic which has never been known for offensive capabilities… it came as a shock to me when I saw this man utilizing this magic in a way that has never been done before…

And finally, he was already drained of his mana in the previous battle… still able to hold out that long against you is something… incredible!!!" the voice said

Hearing this, Derik frowned as he pondered on how to respond to this ancient spirit properly. Not only did it shatter the mood in one sentence, but it also managed to praise the enemy… nice!

After a while thinking about what the spirit said made Derik frown slightly, Truly this man must be incredible if the voice in his head wasn't exaggerating this. Someone capable of reshaping magic which was clearly known as a supportive type to an offensive type!

Also, about the part where the man was practically out of mana is something else, it showed the zeal in his actions, the zeal to kill him after he confirmed that he has officially made contact with his guardian spirit! But why is that?

His mind drifted back to the first time he met this man who approached as a friend and someone who understood what he was going through. Even though he still made use of the magic that same day after the man asked him not to, he still valued the man's thoughts and opinions to an extent even though it was neglected.

"Humph! I must say this… You're not very bright, are you?" The voice once again appeared, disrupting and shattering Derik's chain of thoughts. This irritated Derik to an extent as he struggled to control his emotions and asked

"What's the problem?"

Hearing the boys reply, the voice sighed and waited for a few seconds before speaking up

"The first day you met this man…. Didn't he tell you that he had to kill his sister because she was consumed by my power and I took control of her body?"

Hearing this Deriks eyes widened due to shock and his expression completely changed. With a disgusted look in his face, he stared at this man wondering whether he should actually kill this white-haired bastard who killed his sister because he just didn't approve of the guardian spirit in her. The disgusted expression was soon replaced by anger as he really felt like killing this man now

"Why?.... You ended up killing your own sister for something so trivial!" Derik roared

Hearing him the man laughed out loud first before speaking

"Trivial?... Following this path set by the angel of death will only lead to bloodshed… gaining power no matter the cost? Don't be naïve boy! A situation will arise where you will have to kill innocent people just to acquire power! I couldn't let my sister go down that path!" Francis replied

Contrary to Francis' expectations, his explanation didn't soothe Derik's anger

"what are a few lives when compared to the human race its self…. You need to see the bigger picture here… This path set for us may not be the best but it's the only path which guarantees victory in the end" Derik said

Francis closed his eyes for a while and sighed, after a while, his eyes abruptly yanked open. Filled with resolve and anger he spoke

"I made a mistake… I should have killed you the first day we met!"

Hearing this Derik frowned slightly and replied

"You're beyond Redemption" He sneered

The crossbow soon vanished and he began chanting

"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 and by the end of this day, thy heads shall hang at the tip of thy spear... Death magic: Bone spear!!!" He roared.

Instantly a spear manifested itself above, it was clear that it didn't contain as much power as it uses to when his actions were still being influenced by his guardian spirit but then, been able to think clearly and feel once again... The exchange was worth it

Grabbing on to the spear, his eyes widened and he struck down at the defenseless nature mage, hoping to put an end to his life in one blow.

Puff!

Before the sharp tip of the bone spear could make contact with Francis' skull, the spear and all the bone gears on him turned into a cloud of black smoke and vanished. His complexion turned pale and his glowing purple eyes dimmed. This was the time limit the guardian spirit warner him of

Francis's eyes widened and a smile appeared on his face as a female voice in his head roared

"Now boy!!!! You may never get this opportunity again!"

Nodding, Francis mustered the last strength in him to push Derik off his body. Quickly getting on his feet, the nature mage flicked his fingers and 4 vines slowly emerged from the ground slowly intertwining themselves to form a first sized vine. From the body of this vine, blue flowers began sprouting and some sort of liquid oozed out of it

"Wolves bane" Scott muttered.

Right now he felt the urge to interfere but decided not to, since the boy was no longer a member of the Lockwood pack why put his family in danger trying to save an outsider?

Realizing how critical the situation was, Derik wore a grim expression on his face as he struggled to increase the distance between himself and the nature mage by crawling away.

Looking at the boy who struggled to escape, Francis laughed and waved his hand. Immediately the wolves bane laced vine shot at Derik

Peng!

Peng!!

Peng!!!

After the vine failed to break through the semi-transculent golden sphere which surrounded Derik, a frown appeared on Francis' face as he turned around to see who's responsible

"light magic: Light sphere" Cyrus muttered.

Beside him, Kira remained quiet as he focused on conjuring a blood spear with a frown on his face. His hands were still shaky due to the aftermath of sleeping gas. Even his head was throbbing making it extremely difficult for him to focus.

Meanwhile, Donald and Gin had successfully found swords which once belonged to dead fighter guards returned to Cyrus and Kira's side. Their cold gaze softened when it met Derik but hardened once again when it returned to Francis

"We will be leaving with our friend now…" Kira finally spoke after the blood spear manifested.

Seeing this Francis frowned, in his current condition there Is no way he would be able to take on these kids and win. He could only silently watch the light sphere lift Derik off the ground, taking him to Cyrus' side.

These kids were yet to understand what happened here but they decided to ask later and save their friend now. The team walked out of the Lockwood castle with Derik under numerous gazes which failed to faze them!
