LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 109 Chapter 109: I Will Return For Your Heads!

At this point, Derik's skin looked dry and shriveled after he tried to combine the power of his limiter path with his silver level shriek of the dead technique which almost killed him the last time.

"Here it comes!" Gerald roared!

Booooom!!!

Booom!!

Booom!

 The sea of flames crashed upon them like a tidal wave, literarily burning down hundreds of trees all around them in just a second.

Under the intense heat, Derik and Gerald gritted their teeth in pain as they watched their constructs slowly burn away. Even before the divine flames reached them, they could feel their blood boiling and their flesh been roasted.

Samael stood above the sea of flames like a wounded G.o.d. His body trembled greatly and he struggled greatly to keep himself afloat while staring down on the location where Derik and Gerald once stood. His eyes bore strange emotions as he stared at the sea of flames, it seemed as if he was well aware of the consequences of failing to kill off Gerald and Derik with this last blow. At his current state, he was quite sure he would never be able to withstand their combined power and will ultimately be forced to retreat.

............…..

Miles away was a team of members of the adventurers a.s.sociation, coupled with the military force of the Gyro kingdom waiting for their elder prince to return

They remember feeling the intense energy fluctuations, north of their position. They were quite sure that the death aura belonged to Derik and the other carried divine power, more divine than that of Cyrus which startled them at first.

Who could have more understanding of the life element than the host of the current guardian spirit of life?

Many questions flooded into their minds and they were terrified of the power of such an existence. When Samael used his semi-G.o.d tier weapon on Derik, the fiery aura it released got the attention of Gerald and Cyrus, causing Gerald to leave them behind, asking them to wait for him here.

And now the worst has happened. They could feel the aura's of Derik and Gerald unite against the being which controlled the life aura. This made them wonder why Gerald would team up with the enemy of the kingdom to fight an enemy. But when they saw the sea of divine flames in the distance, they finally understood why Gerald chose to side with Derik against such a monster.

At this moment, the remaining members of the gyro expedition team which made it through the first floor dashed towards the area when the battle took place at their greatest speed. They feared that Gerald may not have survived the attack and they were h.e.l.l-bent on getting their revenge on the thing responsible for the death of their prince.

...............…

Meanwhile...

Their bodies swayed lazily in the wind and it looked like they would fall at any moment. The sky walking ability is something that can be attained by anyone who has attained the power level of a silver realm warrior. During the battle, Derik, Samael, and Gerald battled all through while standing on the air itself. This proved that Derik's power when his limiters are taken off has entered the silver realm, allowing him to stand on the air with the others.

At that moment Anna along with the other troops of the expedition party appeared and soon after the other members of the adventurers a.s.sociation, Derik's formal teammates included appeared.

They were shocked when they saw three figures suspended in mid-air. Two stood together, supporting each other with the weight of the other. They looked hurt and tired while viciously staring at the majestic figure who looked like it was in a worse condition than the other two.

Kira, Cyrus, and the others were shocked by what they saw, they knew the implications of what it meant for someone to stand in mid-air! It simply means that his power has reached the silver realm level. Even Cyrus could barely stand against warriors and mages at the peak grade of the bronze realm even after taking off his limiters.

"Mid-grade of the bronze realm! So fast… this kid is a monster… he needs to die here and now!" Anna screamed in fear.

Even after the use of many precious cultivation materials it still took her more than a decade to reach the silver realm. She knew cultivation speed was nowhere as fast as that of Derik! If this kid is given enough chance to grow, that will definitely spell doom for the Gyro kingdom royal family!

Her body shook and crimson red aura shot out of her body! She grabbed onto the broadsword on her back and dashed into the air, heading straight for Derik.

"Get back!!!" Gerald screamed at her but that didn't stop Anna from approaching.

Deriks weak body swayed lazily but his eyes were cold and vicious as he stared at Anna. After he broke into the mid-grade of the bronze realm, the backlash he received from combining two abilities above his realm was not as severe as before. He may have sustained so much damage but that didn't make his useless. His limiters were still off so he wasn't necessarily afraid of Anna.

"I will kill her… here and now!" Derik muttered weakly into Gerald's ears before descending towards Anna, not waiting for Gerald's reply.

"You dare!!!!!" Numerous military officials at the peak grade of the bronze realm roared and dashed into the air.

Derik's darkish purple fiery eyes light up and his right hand was thrown into the air. Getting a good grip of the void he quickly tore the s.p.a.ce open and diabolic aura poured out of the miniature gate to the underworld

"KILL!!!" He roared and crimson red beams shot out of the s.p.a.ce, das.h.i.+ng towards Anna!

"Aaaaaah!!!! I-it's the shadow lurker!" She screamed in fear and poured in all her energy into the broadsword in her hands, setting it ablaze in the process.

With the blazing broadsword in her hands, she struggled against the beam of crimson red energy and was ultimately sent cras.h.i.+ng into the ground after a few seconds of resistance.

Her body s.h.i.+vered greatly and she spat out a mouthful of blood while staring at Derik who battled the other peak-grade bronze realm soldiers with fearful eyes.

How can someone who looks so fragile and weak summon this much power?

Meanwhile…

The moment Anna was shot down by the shadow lurker's attack, all those who jumped up to meet Derik held their breaths. Since they were only at the bronze realm they really couldn't maneuver in mid-air, so all they can do is pray that Derik would no throw something so powerful against them.

"You sort death!" Derik's voice echoed and his frosty gaze remained fixed on all eleven peak bronze realm soldiers who flying towards him.

"Ooo G.o.d of Death, lord of the underworld and ruler of all d.a.m.ned souls in it, hear the plea of thy faithful servant and burn thy foe with the unquenchable flames of h.e.l.l, even thy ashes will not remain… Death magic: h.e.l.l flame!!!!" He roared and a ma.s.sive magic array appeared in front of him and a sea of darkish purple flames poured out, completely consuming all those that dashed towards him.

Amongst the eleven soldiers were two females and one male whom seemed to be members of the physical cla.s.s. Unlike the other eight mages whom used barrier spells to protect themselves, all three of them were consumed by the raging h.e.l.lish flames dying at the spot.

"You're mine!!!" Derik hissed and three white beams of light escaped from the sea of darkish purples flames, das.h.i.+ng into Derik's body. As they entered series of cries and screams could be heard and it seemed as if they were trying to resist but they could not break free from the powerful and mysterious suction force that pulled them to Derik.

The moment all three souls entered, Derik's power spiked and his shriveled skin began to recover. His sea of darkish purple flames got stronger as well and cracking sounds could be heard from the barriers of the mages still trapped within the flame.

"You are not going anywhere" Derik grinned fiendishly and waved his hand.

Instantly, eight purple magic arrays appeared 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 of death and by the end of this day, thy heads shall hang on the tip of thy spear… Death magic: Bone spear!!!" he roared and eight bone spears appeared and Directly shot into the sea of darkish purple flames.

Puff!

Puff!!

Puff!!!

Series of cries and screams emanated from the sea of h.e.l.lish flames, after which eight beams of light shot out and entered Derik's body. He looked revitalized and his power was even greater than what it was a few hours ago. His cold gaze fell on Anna who was completely terrified by what she had just witnessed. Eleven peak grade bronzer realm warriors and mages died in a matter of seconds at the hands of a mid-level bronze realm mage!

"How can you let someone so timid and spoilt lead you all!" Derik's voice echoed like thunder and lightning as he stared down at everyone on the ground.

Silence!

Complete Silence!!!

No one dared to speak back at him at this moment, they all understood what happened to their brethren. They knew the white beams of light were the souls of the fallen soldiers which were forcefully dragged into Derik's body, thereby increasing his power permanently. This explained how he reached the mid-grade of the bronze realm so fast and how terrifying death mages are.

They won't even be allowed to rest in death!

Gerald and Samael who have been silently restoring their powers were stunned by this as well and were quite scared of this ability. Samael mostly knew the implications of this and how fast Derik would grow in a chaotic environment.

His eyes twitched and he gave up the plans of ending Derik's life today, especially since the kid has recovered his strength.

His gaze s.h.i.+fted to Cyrus for a while and complicated emotions appeared on his face.

"I'll be leaving first then" He said and divine life aura burst out of his body, blinding everyone before they could react to his words and when the light was gone, Samael had vanished.

" d.a.m.n it!" Gerald roared and turned his attention to Derik.

Derik shook his head with a bitter expression on his face as well, silently cursing Anna and the expedition troops of the Gyro kingdom for distracting him.

His gaze moved to Cyrus and the other five, before returning to Anna.

"Gerald saved my life today, so I will give him face and spare you… but do keep it in mind that this is not over… I will return for your heads!" Derik said indifferently.

Instantly his body was shrouded by darkish purple mist and he flew away at terrifying speed. Vanis.h.i.+ng in just a few seconds!

" Don't go after him… none of you can beat him" Gerald reminded his men with a frown on his face. He has made a major loss today!

Not only did he lose so much mana, but he also received a lot of damage and injuries. As he didn't have the werewolf blood in his veins, it will take some time for these injuries to heal.

Suddenly a smile appeared on his face and he looked excited while staring at the direction Derik escaped to. He knew what it means to him that Derik has grown so strong!

Initially, he only expected Derik to reach the low grade of the silver realm in ten years but realizing the magical ability Derik possesses, he has a feeling that Derik will be much stronger the next time they meet.

"You definitely didn't disappoint me, kid…" Gerald muttered with a charming smile on his face.

Even though he lost the semi-G.o.d tier divine weapon in Samael's hands, he still gained a new understanding of Derik's power. It made him really excited, looking forward to the day Derik will return and help him take the throne!
