121 Chapter 121: Breakthrough!

Thoughts flowed into his mind and he considered the possible consequences of letting Samael escape. He knew that if given enough time to recover, he wouldn't be Samael's opponent the next time they meet in this forest. He considered this as the worst mistake he has made all through his short life!

Even if he didn't encounter Samael in this dungeon again, the fallen angel will definitely come after him after it recovers its powers and having a peak grade demi-G.o.d realm archangel as an enemy is not something to be happy about.

Considering the aid of Demos in this matter, he sincerely doubted that Demos was in any way comparable to Samael. In the past, Demos and the other guardian spirits lost to Samael. Now that Demos has lost a certain portion of his power just to bring Derik back to life in the Salvor encounter, will he be able to hold on against Samael?

"NO!" Derik muttered.

There are only two steps that he needs to take to ensure his safety in the future against the fallen archangel of life. The first is to make sure he acquires whatever it is that is at the other end of that dungeon. Derik knew that Samael came here because he knew that there is something here that can help him recover his lost power and most likely help him break into the true G.o.d realm!

If he can stop this fallen archangel from getting its hands on this item, he will most likely be safe for a couple of years, having enough time to grow and defend himself, he wouldn't need to worry later on.

The second step is to find a powerful force in case the first step should fail. If he is able to hide behind a powerful force, he most likely wouldn't have to worry about Samael for a while and with the cultivation resources he could receive from them, his growth speed will drastically increase by leaps and bounds.

...............…..

Derik shot out of the thick forest and landed on a cleared field surrounded by lush vegetations. His eyes were fixed on a thick forest ahead of him and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"You guys knew I would come… Is it still necessary for you to hide?" Derik said.

"Well, we have to be careful at all times… You are able to master a path at the bronze realm… this is inconceivable… What you used to battle that monster was the limiter path right? How can someone with your cultivation base reach that power level?" Isabel walked out of the thick forest with the rest of the elven expedition party following tightly behind.

Derik's eyes scanned through the group of elves and realized something. When he first met them, their numbers were close to two hundred but now, they were barely more than a hundred of them left. This proved that their journey was a lot rougher than his since they didn't have the aid of a guardian spirit.

But this didn't make him feel guilty at all, it was this forest that toys with the minds of people in it that should be held responsible.

"Elsa…" he muttered and his eyes suddenly showed some strange emotions which terrified Isabel.

Derik's darkish purple eyes lit up and scanned through all the elves present. At the back, was a yellow-haired timid elf lady who saw his fiery eyes and avoided eye contact, her body s.h.i.+vered and she took a step back.

Instantly, Derik's body flashed and he vanished, reappearing right in front of her. The speed at which he used to move past every single one of them before they could react terrified everyone, Isabel included.

His eyes raked through Elsa's fragile-looking body and his nose twitched as the thick smell of blood flowed in.

Just around her abdomen were white pieces of cloth stained red with her blood, he instantly noticed that her complexion was a bit pale and she struggled to stand at a place.

She was hurt!

"Yes… I have mastered the limiter path even before I underwent refinement and you are well aware of the consequences of using this power… I could sense the presence of your team when I battled that monster so I decided to show up here in hopes that you all can shelter me when I'm at my weakest… In return, I will guide your team out of this forest safely and you won't have to endure more losses" Derik said while still gazing into Elsa's eyes. He felt this warm feeling in his heart as he kept looking at her.

In reality, the only reason he chose to guide them out of this forest with Demos' help is simply that he didn't want to see her get hurt.

"You can get us out of here safely? You mastered the limiter path even before you underwent refinement? What nonsense!" Isabel snorted.

She refused to believe that someone who lacked is yet to undergo refinement is actually able to learn and utilize the power of paths which is exclusive to silver realm warriors only! This is unheard of, unless…

" Guardian spirit… I possess the angel of death as my guardian spirit… that's why I possess such evil power, that is why I can challenge those in higher realms… that is why I traveled through this forest for weeks without encountering a problem until today… Do you still doubt my words?" Derik sneered at her.

Puti!

He suddenly spat out a mouth full of blood and fell on one knee. His body complexion got paler than usual and his eyes looked weak. Blood trickled down his nostrils and his ears and he was even barely able to stand of his feet

"Do you still doubt me…" He hissed with vicious eyes.

Hearing this Isabel shook her head and took a step back, ordering the elves to surround him and look over him while he recovers! If what Derik said is true, then he is a valuable a.s.set to the team, one they dare not provoke!
