LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 166 Chapter 166: Kalos Appears!

"Just one more for left!" Derik muttered as he towards the direction of the ma.s.sive mountain located directly behind the royal palace. The peak of the mountain was surrounded by cl.u.s.ters of white clouds, making it impossible to see the person standing atop it.

This is the kingdom guardian mountain! Home to the kingdom guardian, Kalos! This person has been given the t.i.tle 'Gyros Strongest' for centuries now and this was once a figure Derik looked up to but now….

"Don't let down your guard… for the fact this man has lived more than a century only shows he has reached the gold realm, most likely hiding his true strength from the world! Even those three hero's of legend will find it difficult to deal with this elder, that's why most kingdoms here in Aldemar are reluctant to attack this kingdom… no one knows how powerful Kalos is!" Demos spoke for the very first time since he got to Gyro.

"Gold realm? This will be difficult… how sure are you that this man has taken a step into such a high realm? Last time I saw this man, I could tell his cultivation base was at the silver realm!" Derik refused to believe Demos' words.

Not only does this man possess a cosmic spirit, but he also has a ridiculous cultivation base. If it were any other person with normal magic boosting to be at the gold realm, Derik would just laugh and storm into battle fearlessly.

But this… this was beyond his expectations and maybe his current abilities!

"Why did you think I forced you to stay back for another two years? Do you think I was scared of King Robert harming you? Kalos has always been a problem! Humans in this world have the third-longest life span, behind the wingman race and the immortal elves… A human at the peak silver realm cultivation base can only live for a hundred and twenty years… but Kalos is closing in on his second century of life…. Once a cosmic being host becomes worthy of his or her cosmic being's attention, do you think the cosmic being will just let him or her die off so easily? Impossible! Kalos must have broken into the gold realm at the final days of his life for him to have lived this long!" Demos explained with a calm voice.

Hearing this Derik's face darkened and his fists were clutched. He wasn't really in a great position at the moment! Even though his wolf side grants him mana regeneration comparable to his high-speed injury regeneration, it still didn't mean he can't be killed or he can't run out of mana.

To be honest, at this point in the battle, Derik was already running short of mana, as the consumption rate far exceeded the regeneration rate. This was simply because of the army of the dead under his control!

The army of the dead!

Summoning over a thousand warriors and mages to fight for him has been draining his mana way faster than it refueled. His battle with Cyrus and the other members of the Royal lasted close to thirty minutes, leaving his mana pool only half full!

"This will be a bit difficult!" Derik muttered while looking at the direction of the kingdom guardian mountain. His eyes showed mixed emotions as he contemplated the next set of actions to take.

"You can always use that method I thought two years ago…. This is the best condition for the death mage to battle… you will never run out of mana!" Demos exclaimed

"Crus.h.i.+ng the souls of the dead and using the soul power to replenish my mana pool? That will entirely destroy the person's soul, destroying it means he or she will never be able to cross over…. This is as good as tampering with the balance between life and death! This is similar to what the fallen archangel did… I will not reduce myself to such a level!" Derik said with knitted eyebrows and a stern voice.

Destroying the soul of a person is no small matter, not only will the person fail to cross over to the afterlife, but they will also lose their only chance at reincarnation! Derik may be the bringer of death and chaos but he is no tyrant! No matter how evil he becomes due to his magic nature, there are some despicable deeds he will never indulge in!

"And here I thought I found the perfect host, ready to go any length just to achieve his goals… good luck fighting Kalos at your current condition… Hopefully, my next host will be a member of the lizardmen race… they have more backbone than humans" Demos snorted.

"Hahaha! I still have three hidden cards I'm yet to reveal! It doesn't matter who battles me, death is inevitable… death is absolute!" Derik laughed in a domineering manner as he spoke.

"I agree…" Demos seemed to be delighted by Derik's words

 "What about the life magic guardian spirit host… to avoid any future possibility of him being an obstacle… this is the best time to kill him… end his life!" Demos sneered

Hearing this, Derik couldn't help but look down on the ten-meter deep crater where Cyrus laid. As much as he valued his friends.h.i.+p with this life mage, he knew the risks that follow closely behind by letting him live…

At this moment, the deep bloodied hole on Cyrus' chest caused by the lightning strike attacks from Derik and the undead Zaylee was healing at a visible rate because of his golden blood which possessed amazing rejuvenating qualities, just like how Derik's black blood possess strong corrosive and death power!

"No… we need as many powerful warriors as we can get… just like you said, I can't handle everything alone… Cyrus has talent and power, given enough time he will grow and become someone people will think twice before offending… this world needs someone like him" Derik said….

"I see you are not too far gone!" An ancient voice resonated from behind!

Hearing this a frown appeared on Derik's face. With his death magic and Cyrus' life magic, it is practically impossible to sneak up on him or Cyrus. Yet it just happened now! Someone managed to sneak up on him without him knowing!

"In this little world of ours, only one person is capable of sneaking up on me… Kalos, you still have what it takes even after living for over a century… I'm impressed!" Derik laughed as slowly turned around to look into the eyes of the man who has claimed the t.i.tle, Gyro's strongest for close to two centuries!
