Chapter 441 - 441: Adinos

ROAR!

Derik let out a loud cry as he shattered the spear with just brute strength. His eyes flared up with power as black blood rolled down his fingers.

"I guess I hit a nerve" Adinos said while licking her lips.

Back then, while they were yet to attain their inheritance, Adinos has been a figure many prayed to and called upon as the creator of every being in this god vein. Just like the beyond, many had mistaken her for a he but that didn't matter as long as she received the power of faith, coupled with the resources of the god vein.

Life was moving smoothly and her godly realm was rising at an alarming speed, making her superior to the other old gods whose cultivation was practically stagnant.

All these ended as soon as Derik and Cyrus made their first appearance, after digesting their inheritance. Derik and Cyrus joined hands to hurt her when she greedily reached for Gin's soul and since that day the loyalty of the guardian spirits changed and her position in the heavens dropped. Derik and Cyrus became the most popular figures in the world and compared to an unseen God, people chose to pray to them instead of her, depriving her of the power of faith she once enjoyed. To end it all, Derik and Cyrus soon stepped foot into the heavenly realm, quickly cutting off her last supply of power from the God's vein.

Her hatred for these two has gone beyond things mere words can explain.

BAM!

Following a loud sound, Derik could be seen standing face to face with Adinos. He was over six feet tall making Adinos who had a smaller build look like a junior when compared to him.

Compared to her elegant and graceful appearance. Her succulent red lips, pointy nose, blood-red long hair, and her tight red robe attire which showcased all her curves, Adinos was extremely pretty just as Derik was extremely handsome.

"I dare you to repeat those words, my dear creator... I assure you, you will be dead in less than ten minutes!" Derik half growled, revealing his fangs.

"Do you think I'm scared of you? My power level is at the peak of the gold realm while yours is at the rock bottom... So I think it's very unwise to take me on unless you think you can deal with me the same way you dealt with the useless archbishop?" Adinos said with a vicious smile on her face and even when faced with the full pressure of Derik's presence, she showed no fear.

Hearing her words, Derik's frown vanished and was replaced with a casual smile. The murderous intentions and violent aura oozing out of his body settled but he didn't move away.

"Your identity makes no difference to me... Before I kill you, I must ask first... What brings you here, where the seven new gods reside... All alone" Derik asked casually like he was talking to an old friend.

Seeing his demeanor change almost instantly, Adinos couldn't help but frown. In their past life, she had crossed swords with Derik repeatedly during the battle between the new gods and the old gods, which drew the attention of the beyond. Derik was vicious, destructive, and terrifying when angered but when calm he was more calculation and lethal.

That is the Derik she refuses to fight.

The Derik that almost took her life before the beyond popped out of nowhere and dealt the killing blow.

"You... kill me, I don't think that will be possible... I just came here to make sure the bishop dies... That's all there is to it... If you let me end him, I will leave here without any conflict... No one has to get hurt" Adinos tried as hard as possible to hide her emotions but it was already too late. Derik could smell the fear oozing out of her.

His darkish-green eyes brightened and claws sprouted on his fingers. He slowly increased in size, as his muscle began bulging. 

"And what if I say no? This man you all abandoned is under the protection of the new gods?" Derik asked slowly.

With all, he has heard he finally confirmed his theory. Even the beyond is aware of the change in power if Blata works for them and creates a church for them. Once the world hears that a former archbishop of the church of light is converted and now serves a new god. This will further boost the reputation of the new gods and not only will the new gods will have total control of Pelgas but they will also gain the support of many people from the different empires around.

"If you refuse I will be forced to act... It won't be pretty" Adinos said with furrowed eyebrows.

"Go ahead, take your best shot!" Derik replied.

BOOM!

Blata was still floating in mid-air blankly, trying to make sense of what's going on two figures appeared right in front of him, exchanging over thirty blows before he could even react.

Adino's attacks were swift and accurate but Derik's claws laced with his death aura were not inferior in any way. 

"Secret combat technique: Brillant claw!" Derik muttered as a vague image of Scott Lockwood and other members of the Lockwood family appeared in his mind as he moved his hands.

His moves were a bit slower than that of Aldino but they all generated darkish green aura marks in the air which remained there long after the movement was done.

Each mark worked like a barrier leaving Adino fewer places to strike while giving Derik more space for Derik to prepare his Killer move of the past.

"Pay attention Blata... You only get to see something this amazing once in a lifetime! Secret combat technique: Roar!"

Boom!

His aura exploded as a massive amount of darkish green aura gathered around him, slowly taking the shape of a majestic werewolf. Gazing at the massive construct slowly take form, Blata who was observing couldn't help but marvel at the level of strength Derik was showing now compared to when they fought.
