"Dragon flame magic: Ancient Dragons Roar!" a majestic voice thundered from afar.

Roar!

A ma.s.sive fire dragon head appeared from the distance, shooting towards the archangel of life, Samael! At the center of the flaming dragon head was a youth in his early twenties whoms blood-red air fluttered in the wind as he flew towards Samael with malicious intentions. His gaze suddenly s.h.i.+fted to Derik but only for a second and a hint of surprise could be seen in his eyes the moment he noticed Derik's magical increase in his realm.

He failed to understand how Derik was able to move from the low grade of the bronze realm to the mid-grade of the bronze realm just in a few months. Even he who is considered a peak genius in the continent cannot boast of such an amazing achievement. Fear and joy filled his eyes as he considered what Derik would to his enemies and the benefits he would rip from him as an ally.

"Gerald…" Derik muttered weakly.

He had endured so many injuries in the short exchange between Samael and himself. His vision slightly blurred and his weak, pale body kept trembling violently. Seeing Gerald, a sinister grin bloomed on his face and death aura diffused from his body.

"Death magic: Shriek of the dead!" Derik roared.

His body quivered violently as death aura busted out of his body, taking the form of a ma.s.sive darkish purple skeleton. Its bony body had ancient runes on them and diabolical energy diffused from its body. In its two hollow eye sockets were two tiny sparkling lights that served as the pupils of this creature. Initially, he only summoned parts of his skeleton avatar when the battle began but now an opportunity presented itself, why hold back?

His skeletal avatar shrieked and flew forward like lightning. From two sides were two silver realm level attacks flying towards the fallen archangel Samael!.

"More Insects!" Samael hissed with an ugly expression on his face. His glittering star-like eyes fell on Derik who looked pale and wore a sinister smile on his face. He silently cursed the kid and reluctantly tightened his grip on his ma.s.sive flaming orange greatsword. The majestic weapon had numerous ancient magic runes carved on its blade. They suddenly lit up and terrifying divine flames burst out of it. Samael gasped and looked even paler, golden blood trickled down his nostrils and lips.

With a monstrous roar, he slashed out and a sea of scorching red flames poured out, threatening to consume everything in its path.

"A Semi-G.o.d tier weapon!" Gerald screamed in fear.

Hearing this Derik discolored! Soon Derik's skeleton avatar was consumed by the divine flames and even Gerald failed to escape it. Derik instinctively retreated even farther and watched waiting for Gerald to escape his confinement. Resounding screams of pain and agony resonated from the sea of divine flames for a while.

Puff!

A figure suddenly broke out of the sea of divine flames, surrounded by a fire halo. His eyes looked tired and hints of fear could be seen whenever he looked at the ma.s.sive greatsword in Samaels hands. Gerald's body suffered greatly and he quickly retreated to Derik's side. At this point, Derik was thankful for the lucky stars that he didn't storm forward with his skeletal avatar, if not he would have paid a b.l.o.o.d.y price worse than that of Gerald!

"W-what the h.e.l.l is that!" Gerald slightly stuttered when he spoke to Derik. His eyes were gloomy as he stared at Samael with a dejected expression on his face.

"All I can say for now is this, that thing is a fallen archangel in search of treasures of this dungeon. I've been battling it for a while now and I've never gained the upper hand… I came to the conclusion that this being is the most powerful fighter in this dungeon… We need to kill it here, if not none of us will leave here easy!" Derik hissed with a malicious face.

"I see… hahahaha! I can see you got even stronger, you are the mid-grade of the bronze realm now! At this rate, you will most likely make it to the silver realm in ten years!... Hahahahaha! I didn't bet wrong!" Gerald laughed

"If what you said just now is true then my suspicion is not wrong. That thing in its hands is a Semi-G.o.d tier weapon which only archangels wield… Even a gold level magic weapon cannot be compared to this… This fallen angel will not be easy to beat!" Gerald said with a bitter smile on his face.

Hearing this Derik's eyes widened in shock as he remembered the deadly scythe which Demos carries around and cursed himself for not noticing this earlier.

"If it's that valuable… it can be stolen right? If you help me defeat this thing… you can have it!" Derik said. He knew he is the primary target of the fallen angel, defeating this being here and now is more important than the semi-G.o.d tier weapon. If he fails, he probably won't be able to live easy in the future. Also, since it's a divine tool, he probably won't be able to make use of it. Ever!

"It's not that easy… just like gold level magic weapons, semi-G.o.d tier weapons have a mind of their own and will not be stolen easily… it can only work for someone else only when its current master is dead!" Gerald said

"But since we are here and you have made the offer, I have no more doubts in my heart and mind… let's kill it" Gerald said with a charming smile on his face. Vicious lights flashed in his bloodshot eyes as he stared at the semi-G.o.d tier weapon in Samael's hands.

"Alright then… let's give it a try!" Derik bellowed and shot into the air, not waiting for Gerald. He was still under the influence of the limiter path and he was running out of time. If there is a chance of defeating Samael, it has to be now he's at his peak.

He grabbed the void and tore it open! Instantly, red beams of the energy of the Shadow Lurker shot out of the s.p.a.ce, towards Samael. His fiery darkish purple eyes lit up and a ma.s.sive magic array appeared in front of 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 darkish purple flames poured out threatening to consume Samael.

At this point, Geralds's figure flashed and appeared next to him. His body was surrounded by deadly red flames and his aura was no weaker than Samael's. On his right hand was a flaming sword, a silver level magic weapon that suited his magic perfectly. At this point, Derik remembered the rumors that Gerald's physical capabilities were on par with a low-level silver realm warrior, one of the only members of the Gyro kingdom who sort the hybrid path. Perfectly combining the magical powers with physical capabilities! His full power can only be seen when he combines the two.

"I'll take him head-on… You provide support and stop him from using that weapon of his… if we can tie him down here with our combined efforts, we can wear him out and eventually kill him" Gerald said with a stern voice. This time he wasn't as carefree and jovial as before, his character completely changed now he intended to fight with his all.

Death magic: Bone armor!

Derik's body was soon covered by a s.h.i.+ny bone armor, a bone bow and a bone quiver filled with bone arrows appeared by his side.

"This is the first time I'm taking off my limiters in my new realm… I don't know how long I can stay in this form… we have to end this as soon as possible…" Derik said with knitted eyebrows as he watched Samael block the red beams of energy with amazing greatsword and power through his h.e.l.l flames with his divine light.

Hearing this Gerald nodded with a smile and turned his attention Samael. This is the first battle he will fight alongside Derik, he was really eager to find out how things will turn out!
