Chapter 397 - 397: End of an era (2)

Roar!

The vicious cries of the four elemental dragons simply marked the end of the world as the main forces of the empire charged in through Blink's teleportation arrays alongside the magic beasts. As far as these magic beasts are concerned, apart from the people of the empire, every other race present are just invaders that do not belong here and for that reason, they chose to fight alongside the empire to eliminate this threat.

Blink laid there on his back, gazing at the teleportation array dwindling in size as his consciousness kept fading slowly. With the amount of blood gushing out of his wounds, he was literarily lying on a small puddle of his blood, struggling to remain conscious but for how long? 

As long as possible!

"Even if I am meant to die here… the least I can do right now is support the empire in any way possible before I leave… I can't just die so easily! I am supposed to be palace master Derik's successor!" For the first time since the war began Blink got emotional and was on the verge of tears.

The youth wasn't afraid of death, rather he was scared of not fulfilling his role as a successor but at this point in time, there was nothing else he could do. His body has reached its limit and he was using the last strands of mana left in his body.

"You have done enough… leave the rest to us" Blink suddenly heard Gin's voice next to him.

He struggled to look up only to see Aldora casting a powerful light spell on him and next to him was the unconscious Clovis.

"Yes, I definitely won't let the empire lose… not after your sacrifice… not after master Derik's sacrifice!" Kalos said with determination as he gazed upon the gold realm masters battling above while the silver realm elites and bronze realm warriors and mages fought on the ground. The battlefield was filled with small mountains of corpses and blood flowing like a stream, it was a terrible sight to behold.

..............................….

Haaaa!

Derik within his domain was like a death whirlpool that covered the entire sky, surging down on the orc overseer like a deadly storm.

"You!"

The orc overseer roared as green aura amassed in his hands taking the shape of a powerful green aura spear. Tossing it into the whirlpool, the orc overseer could only watch his attack get lost in the massive body of the death whirlpool. His face turned gloomy as he glanced over to see Cyrus who remained unmoving, sitting in mid-air, in a crossed-legged position.

"Bastards!" The orc overseer continually retreated as he was constantly forced to keep his distance from the death whirlpool.

At this point, the orc overseer finally understood what was going on! At first, he strongly believed that Derik was earnestly trying to battle him but as the battle rage on, he realized that the death mage was only stalling, giving Cyrus a chance to breakthrough! If Cyrus could breakthrough into the demigod realm, he will be able to suppress him and give Derik the chance to breakthrough as well. Its one thing to face off against two demigods but it's another thing to battle two demigods in their domain! Right now he wasn't sure how much time has passed while they were within Derik's domain but one thing for sure was that a few days has gone by and all through that time, Cyrus has purely focused on cultivating! No matter what he did, he could never lay a finger on Cyrus.

Bang!

"Not yet!" the orc overseer roared as he clasped his hands together to create numerous green spears, launching them into the black whirlpool!

Argh!

Roar!

A painful cry could be heard from the black whirlpool and a figure fell off from it but before the orc overseer could capitalize on this, something unexpected happened. From below, a loud growl could be heard as the shadow lurker suddenly shot out of the ground beneath, shooting a powerful wave of cold green hellish flames, forcing the orc overseer to defend with his energy barrier.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="/book/legendary-guardian_14507836505582505/chapter-397-end-of-an-era-(2)_51086533414935033">/book/legendary-guardian_14507836505582505/chapter-397-end-of-an-era-(2)_51086533414935033</a> for visiting.

"You wish to kill me, in my domain? At this point in time, even Demos will be murdered mercilessly if he dares challenge me here…" Derik's voice resonated from behind the orc overseer, startling the demigod.

Pa!

Bam!

By the time the orc overseer had turned around, Derik already took hold of his left hand, pulling it out forcefully with his enormous strength before kicking the orc overseer away.

"If the legendary angel of death cannot defeat me here, do you think you stand a chance? Your blood will serve as nourishment for my domain and with your death, I will use your soul to further my realm… imagine me having an undead commander at the demigod realm… I will find out what that feels like really soon!" Derik said with a vicious smile as he tossed away the orc overseer's hand.

From the forest below, Derik's undead army of different realms began to emerge, slowly encircling the orc overseer. Even though this force was almost insignificant in the face of a true demigod, in this domain they had unlimited power and they could not be killed.

"You dare stand on the same level as our master? On your knees beast!" The shadow lurker roared and instantly numerous green chains shot out of the ground below, shooting towards the orc overseer.

In response, the orc overseer flew even higher and when he was sure he could not evade these chains nor outrun them, he turned to face them, conjuring an aura spear in his hands.

Bang!

"You are sincerely begging for a backstab!" Derik's cold voice could be heard from behind and even before he could react he could feel a tearing pain in his chest.

Looking down at it he could see Derik's claws protruding out of his chest and his blood flowing like a stream from his injuries.

"The boy you colluded with to set up this ambush, did this to my successor… I had to send my undead generals over, just to make sure he's fine… Do you see it now? You have given me countless reasons to kill you old beast… your chances of survival would be a lot higher if you chose to mess with the overseer instead of me!" Derik spoke calmly into the orc overseer's ears.

Only after Derik was done speaking did the orc overseer notice his whole body was slowly rotting. He could feel Derik's death aura surging into his body from the injury he received earlier!

He wanted to struggle but his body refused to respond to his cries as the green chains soon got hold of him, binding him before pulling him all the way down!

Boom!

"And this is where it ends!" Derik roared as he reached for the skies and his death scythe appeared in his hands. 

An abundant wave of pure death aura surged into the death scythe making the weapon tremble.

Boom!

Derik shot to the ground, cleaving the orc overseer in two even before he could struggle or scream!

"Sure enough, the suppression of a domain is far greater than what I thought, or is mine a tab bit greater since it's close to evolving into a realm?" Derik muttered.

He knew his domain was expanding rapidly every day as he got closer to entering the demigod realm, he just didn't expect defeating the orc overseer to be this easy. He too was shocked by the gap in power after they managed to drag the orc overseer into this domain. Earlier he thought he would have to depend on Cyrus' help but this was entirely out of his expectations.

Wooosh!

A gray light shot out of what remained of the orc overseer, shooting towards the skies but it was soon stopped by an invisible force!

"Didn't I tell you that I will use your soul to further my realm? Or did you think I was joking!" Derik gazed at the immobilized soul in mid-air, fighting frantically to break free.

"Derik! Let me go and I'll let you leave, don't you dare force my hand!" The orc overseer's voice echoed from the gray cloud.

As long as it can escape this place, he can always look for an orc to possess and when that happens in just a few months he should be able to recover his power once again.

"You dare to threaten me again? Do you think you are in a position to bargain? Die!" Derik growled as a powerful suction force began pulling the demigod soul towards him!

The orc overseer struggled fiercely and even for a while, Derik found it hard to take this soul but as time went on, the soul began losing strength and was slowly pulled towards Derik.

"Since you won't let me go! Let's all die herein this domain!" the orc overseer roared.

BOOM!

The orc overseer's soul lit up and suddenly exploded! The explosion was so powerful that the entire domain trembled and even Cyrus who was cultivating as caught in the explosion. Seeing this, Derik turned pale and with a fearful expression on his face he conjured the strongest defensive barriers he could create with the little time he had but even then, the barrier could only hold out for a few minutes before crumbling.

Derik was consumed by the soul attack as well!

Who would have thought the orc overseer would make such a move! Detonating his demigod souls in hopes of dragging Derik and Cyrus down with him!

"Mad man!" Those were the only words Derik could use to describe this orc!
