LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 158 Chapter 158: Shocking Gyro

Soon all this was replaced by the sounds of the war drums and armored soldiers marching forward. The military forces of Gyro soon filled the streets, easily reach tens of thousands of men and women, at a point Derik could swear they were more than twenty thousand of them, if not more. This makes one wonder, where all the other parts of the kingdom forced to submit their soldiers meant to defend them to the capital, just so that they can protect the royal family?

What if the other parts of the kingdom were invaded at this very moment, doesn't that mean, the little towns surrounding the capital will be left defenseless?

A ma.s.sive bone gate appeared above the capital, just outside the walls of the city and a thick mist of death energy burst out as two figures emerged. The smile on Derik's face vanished the moment he stepped into the kingdom capital, knowing fully well it is time to get serious.

His fiery darkish purple eyes lit up and burnt fiercely and dark clouds soon gathered above the city with purple bolts of lightning circling him. His power over the death energy was fully displayed as he roared and struck out towards the royal palace in the distance which stood out amongst all buildings in the capital.

The bolts of purple lighting moved nimbly towards the royal palace, consciously evading everyone in its way as it flew forward.

BOOM!

BOOOM!!

BOOOOM!!!

Before the purple lightning could reach the royal palace, it met a ma.s.sive transparent barrier surrounding the building. This made Derik go crazy.

His short stay in the outside world helped him understand how messed up the Gyro kingdom is. Every other kingdom, just like Gyro possesses ma.s.sive walls that serve as a barrier between the kingdom and the magic beasts outside.

To Derik's greatest surprise, only Gyro has walls not reinforced by any form of magic. Briton was located at the very edge of the kingdom, yet the walls that surround it does not in any way possess strong magic capabilities that can withstand any magical attacks.

In Gyro's case, the magic formations barriers are focused on the walls surrounding the capital and the walls surrounding the royal palace, providing only those at the capital with the maximum level of protection, that's the reason why the capital is most times regarded to as the Paradise of Gyro.

What the heck, even the walls which separate the capital from the other towns surrounding the kingdom cannot be seen in other kingdoms in the continent. To Derik, this is simply a way of differentiating the various status of people in the kingdom.

This left Derik enraged!

His eyes scanned through the overall forces of the kingdom and he was quite impressed by their sheer numbers, this could be considered a ma.s.sive force in any part of the continent. These forces were divided into teams of seven, with each team consisting of all the magical and physical cla.s.ses available. To Derik's greatest surprise these people were well organized unlike those he fought at the moonlight forest! He was sure that if these people should join hands against him, he may not even last a minute against such an overwhelming number.

At this moment, he could only rely on the portion of Gyro's forces which was made up of the member's adventurers a.s.sociation, under Gerald to aid him in this battle.

His eyes flickered and purple light burst out of his eyes at a terrifying speed, flying towards the barrier at immense speed, yet it could not leave a crack on the barrier. Seeing this Derik's expression crumbled, he could tell that the barrier surrounding the palace was way more powerful than the one used on the walls protecting the capital. It felt like he was tossing pebbles at a turtle hiding in its sh.e.l.l. He couldn't even deal any damage to it.

"He dares ignore us and attack the royal palace directly? This death mage is ignorant… Captain give the word I sincerely want to be the c.r.a.p out of this man" a man in a leather armor spoke out first, he held his bow tightly and was already reaching for an arrow in his quiver.

His main purpose of saying this was probably to impress the young lady from the military right beside him. but to his greatest surprise, the death mage he was speaking of reacted to his words and quickly s.h.i.+fted his cold chilly gaze to the man.

"T… there is no way he could have heard me right?" The man stammered in fear while taking a step back and gulping down a mouthful of saliva. He felt like death itself was looking down on him,  telling him that his time to die has come.

How could this death mage pick him out even when they were surrounded by tens of thousands of people? Even gold level masters may not be able to do this!

The man was already on his knees, convulsing while staring at the death mage with terrified eyes. His body was drenched in sweat and he even wet himself due to fear. At this point, all he could see were multiple ways of which his life may end in this battle.

"Death magic: Death stare… a rather useful ability" Derik said calmly before ignoring the man. He s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the ma.s.sive flames the shape of a dragon flying towards him and smirk appeared on his face. At this point, the only flames that can make him feel a bit uncomfortable were the ones belonging to Kaido and Ahika, the sun cosmic spirit host and the blazing fire guardian spirit host. Anything below that was nonsense to him.

The army cheered as they watched the elder prince, Gerald make the first move. After he reached the peak of the silver realm as a fire mage, his living flames path allowed him to actually give life to his fire attacks.

He stood gallantly inside the flaming dragon the size of the ma.s.sive royal palace itself and ordered the dragon to charge forward the ancient and terrifying aura which escaped from his fire dragons body was enough to make people at the bronze realm think he's a fire G.o.d but to Derik, this was nonsense.

"Vanish" Derik casually waved his hand and a terrifying wave of death aura burst out.

Seeing this, Gerald's complexion changed even his fire dragon howled in fear and quickly stopped its advance, retreating continuously.

How can someone's aura alone be this terrifying?

"Where do you think you are going" Derik sneered and raised his hand. Instantly the death scythe appeared in his hands and his already terrifying aura increased twofold!

Boom!

Derik's body shot forward like a missile towards the fire dragon, covering hundreds of meters in just an instant!

ROAR!

The fire dragon panicked and quickly retreated even further, the fear in the eye of the beast was glaring and everyone was dumbfounded by this, especially Gerald! This is the first time he has lost complete control of his magic. Unfortunately, the fire dragons huge body was not as fast as the little Derik, so it couldn't shake off the death mage in its retreat

The death scythe in his hands trembled and a ma.s.sive amount of death aura burst out as Derik slashed out!

Death magic: Purgatory slas.h.!.+

It was a clean-cut, an extremely clean-cut as Derik managed to severe one of the flaming wings from the rest of the body. The beast roared in pain while retreating even further, trying to increase the distance between it and the death mage, unfortunately, Derik was not going to let it go that easily.

With each strike, a part of the fire dragons' body was severed and soon it has almost lost all of its limbs. If this was actually a leaving creature it would have been dead before now!

"Enough of these games, my patience runs short! Are you satisfied? Can we begin?" The death scythe in Derik's hands vanished in purple flames as he roared at Gerald.

Gerald was already covered in sweat and a bitter smile on his face. This death mage is completely acting like nothing happen after chasing his fire dragon around like it was a little frightened puppy. He has never been humiliated this bad before, but this necessarily wasn't a bad thing. To him, it meant that he just found himself an invincible partner

"Yea… I was just checking your strength… Now lets blast that barrier open and kill my father" Gerald flew to Derik's side and spoke with a warm smile as he just met an old friend.

At this very moment, there was silence… only silence! No one knew what to say or do, some felt like crying while some felt like laughing. They didn't know what was more shocking, that the death mage chased around a peak silver realm level attack like its nothing or that the elder prince just betrayed the kingdom casually, colluding with the death mage who is meant to bring destruction to the kingdom.

But they were all sure of one thing. They could tell that King Robert was most likely pulling out all the hair on his head at this moment and chewing them in a crazed manner after witnessing all that has happened.
