"Where… Where is Big bro? What's going on?" Andrew was the first to speak. The shadow cl.u.s.tered around him made it difficult for people to see his figure, not even his footsteps could be heard.

"Big bro Kira!" Philips ran over to Kira's side and held on to his shaky pale hands.

Kira and Agus, together with the other royal guards with Selena being the only exception were injured and the locations of their injuries were bandaged all round while numerous oracle mages focused on healing them. Kira's normal smooth black hair was scattered and his usual crimson red eyes had lost its glow, he could only smile weakly at Philips and fondle his brown hair.

"Don't worry… Palace master Derik is very powerful, even a level 120 flame dragon will have to flee when fighting him… By the way, he has the palace of life's master with him… With Cyrus and Derik joining hands… no one can stop them…" Kira tried to calm these kids down. But in his heart, he was truly worried about the two.

The Lightning tyrant possessed a domain that was only available to people or magic beast at the mid-grade of the gold realm at the very least! If Mason's strange top tier path didn't grant him a domain as well, he wouldn't have been able to battle the lightning tyrant as equals. The flame dragon also possessed a domain of its own and its power level should rival that of peak grade gold realm masters. If not for the fact that it had just awoken after an unknown number of centuries coupled with the fact that Derik and Cyrus did not give it the chance to activate its domain, they wouldn't have been able to hurt it.

The situation this time was different and Kira was the one who understood how dangerous the situation is for Cyrus and Derik. Now they chased after the beast into its underground lair where its lava and flame element can be found easily, he knew Derik and Cyrus will be in trouble. The flame dragon will definitely not look down on those two again and it will most likely utilize its domain in this battle.

With a single glance, he could tell Cyrus and Derik were yet to break into the gold realm, they didn't come out just because they wanted to. They came out because it was necessary! Since they were the ones closest to the guardian spirits, only they fully understood the situation and how serious it is. All Kira knew was that there is a certain possibility that both of them will lose their lives in this battle. Their ability to raise their power instantly purely depended on the people around them. While Derik fed on the negative emotions of people present, Cyrus fed on the life force of living beings. They won't be able to use these abilities in this battle, they can only rely on their true strength to overcome this situation.

"I thought they were trying to breakthrough… Why did they get involved in this mess when your defensive barrier could clearly handle it! They gave away a chance to enter the gold realm a bit earlier just to fight this beast! And what the h.e.l.l is that thing?" Gerald was lost and confused as he spurted out all the thoughts in his mind at once.

"From the looks of it, they weren't planning to drive away this beast, if not they would have sent me and Aldora. I believe they are trying to kill this beast… I don't know why since I can't predict impending danger like them… I don't have any connections with the cosmic spirits anymore… All I know is this… The fact that they left their cultivation behind to battle this beast to the death in its own terrain where it has the advantage tells how serious the issue is… we can only wait for them to return and explain what they know to us" Kalos said.

After Kalos spoke there was complete silence. No one knew the reason for this but all they knew was that the situation was more severe than they thought. If Derik and Cyrus fail to survive this battle doesn't it mean that the Gyro kingdom will be wiped out?

"Hahaha… I didn't know you were this strong Mason… I really need to train harder and find my own path!" Gin laughed loudly. Trying to ease the heavy and tense mood in the room. Mason in return felt proud but a bit embarra.s.sed when everyone began commending him on his breakthrough. The Gyro kingdom finally got its first master-level archer, why won't they be excited by this!

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

On very few occasions, red hot lava would shoot out of the ground, so high into the air that those in Gyro could see them even though they were about a hundred kilometers away from the target. At such times and occasions, black and golden aura would rise up and struggle with the lava before suppressing it.

At this point, fissures began to occur and the earthquakes rocked the Gyro kingdom more frequently. The ground beneath their feet began to split but thanks to the capable mages in Gyro who possess a strong affinity to the earth element, the damages were completely minimized to the barest minimum. Some parts of the forest around the area of the battle began to wither under the effects of Derik's death aura, another side bloomed beautifully under Cyrus' life aura and another part was completely scorched.

The shockwaves from the battle were so severe that everyone in the kingdom could feel it, but then they wondered how bad it was for Derik and Cyrus who were the ones actually fighting.

A week pa.s.sed by and the intense battle continued, by this time, every other kingdom in the continent were already aware of the situation in Gyro and they watched from the sidelines to see the outcome of this clash. Derik and Cyrus represented the greatest power in the continent, so everyone was eager to gauge the power of these legendary beasts with this battle.

In the blink of an eye, another week pa.s.sed and the battle was still ongoing. Aldora who was sent to scout the area of the battle returned and reported seeing black blood, golden blood, and a pool of lava blood scattered everywhere. All three combatants were gravely injured but they still fought against each other fiercely. At this point, they left the underground lair and rose up into the skies and continued their battle there!

A ma.s.sive ball of rolling lava surrounded the fire dragon while Derik was covered in a circular death aura domain and Cyrus was covered in his life aura domain as they clashed against each other fiercely. With the battle happening in the open, these people could tell how frightening these dragons are and began to understand how dire the situation was.

On the fourth day of the fourth week of the intense battle, Derik let out a loud painful cry and fell off the skies. Cyrus quickly reacted to save him and the flame dragon took advantage of the opportunity and fled the scene. With this the battle ended in a draw, there was no victor or loser. Both sides suffered great injuries and they will definitely need some time to recover!
