Chapter 398 - 398: A new beginning

"So this is where I die?" a youth lying on a bed muttered weakly. He could practically see darkness looming over him.

"Get out! This body belongs to me now!" Suddenly a vicious voice echoed in the youths head and before he could cry out for help, he could feel a powerful suction force pulling his soul towards the darkness. While moving up towards the black clouds above, the youth saw a greenish ball of soul energy dash into his body!

His eyelids yanked open slowly and a piercing pain soon invaded his mind? Derek held his head as countless images and memories of an unknown person began flooding into his mind. His body trembled and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead as he rolled off the bed falling to the hard ground. He tried to raise himself but his body failed him, his feet refused to move and he was left there in a white garment, lying on the cold ground.

For the first time in a long while, he truly felt weak.

"What is this? Where am I?" Derik frowned.

His memories were still jumbled so he really couldn't really make anything out of all of this. Had could feel that the body he was currently inhabiting was completely weak and feeble, so much that he could still vaguely feel the spirit of death hovering over his this body.

It became clear to him that this body was set to die earlier but someone his soul had taken possession of it.

"Demos?" Derik looked at the black cloud hovering over his head.

He could slightly feel the power of death within it both there was no consciousness in it.

"Strange? If this isn't Demos that what is this? Who is this? Where am I? It doesn't matter anyway… since you are here don't even think about leaving this place!" Derik growled as he reached for the dark cloud and a powerful suction force, emerged, rapidly pulling in the black cloud.

Opening his mouth, Derik greedily consumed the black cloud of smoke and slowly he could feel his power recovering but it was only at a very force small pace, it was more like a drop of water in the ocean.

"Its quite little but it should be enough for my werewolf genes to dispel whatever disease is plaguing this body" Derik said.

He could already feel the body regaining its strength as he slowly sat up in a cross-legged position and began meditating. Using the little mana he had, Derik checked the condition of this body and only after confirming that whatever strange disease that was supposed to kill this kid is gone.

Bam!

At that point, he felt like his head was smashed by a hammer as images of his past life ran through his eyes in the form of pictures.

These were just fragments of his life memories…

Apparently, he and Cyrus survived the suicidal attempt by Nar, the demigod orc overseer, but they were left badly hurt. Their lives was saved by Demos and Samael, after which they safely made it to the demigod. The little images Derik saw was the final moments of the godly war!Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="/book/legendary-guardian_14507836505582505/chapter-398-a-new-beginning_51112165242883545">/book/legendary-guardian_14507836505582505/chapter-398-a-new-beginning_51112165242883545</a> for visiting.

Francis, Ahika, Cyrus and the other members of the new gods faced off against the old gods in a heated battle that literally set the world on fire. Since it was only pictures, Derik couldn't tell how the battle which was to protect the God's vein turned to a battle between the old gods and new gods, all he could tell was that they all made it to the true God realm. The final battle lasted for centuries and only when the entire realm was at the verge of crumbling did something more powerful appeared.

Derik could clearly remember his previous conversation with Demos consciousness while trying to save his father's life. He remembered how he brought up a topic about a greater being which may be the reason for the creation of the old gods and the new gods. On that very day, his greatest fears came to life as the being appeared. Its power was so terrifying that the old gods and new gods entered a temporary truce and joined hands to battle this new being but they were defeated. Without the aid of the cosmic beings who still chose to remain neutral, the old and new gods were slaughtered by the greater being. Derek and Cyrus were the last to die. They died fighting till the very end.

Images of the God killer made Derik shudder in fear. Even though the being was no longer present here, the fear of this being appearing once again and killing him made Derik fear death.

Who would have thought death could die? And in such a gruesome way that left him scared!

"Apparently, true gods cannot be killed entirely… upon our death, our godly essence spread across the world… if I can retrieve all of it I should regain my godly strength once again" Derik thought out loud.

But even if he could reclaim his godly essence for what purpose would he do that? The main reason why that God killer is yet to appear and take his life for a second time may be because Derik was practically no different fmaybere mortals here. He'maybeweak to draw the attention of such a powerful being and for that reason, it should be a bit safer if he remains hidden for a while. At least until he understands where he is and what this world is all about.

Springing on his feet like an agile cat, Derik walked towards the window at the far right, next to it was a mirror. His host's body was strangely pale in complexion and he was quite thin as if he has not been feeding well for a while. The youth had strange purple eyes and in some ways his he looked a lot like Derik back then, only slightly different but Derik suspected this may be as a result of his godly soul inhabiting this body. He wasn't really shocked by this.
