88 Chapter 88: Life And Death Collides 1

"Unlike you who is yet to undergo refinement, this kid has broken into the bronze realm and has a better of the element his commands and the natural laws that follow! He is at a level now!" Demos explained

Derik frowned upon hearing this and chose to confirm something first"He has taken off his limiters, am I correct?" Derik asked Demos with a stern look on his face

"Yes… and I must inform you… now he is at a higher realm, the duration in which his limiters can stay off has also increased…" Demos chuckledNodding at his words, the frown on Derik's face relaxed a bit. His eyes glittered under the golden dazzling light which radiated brightly from Cyrus and a confident smile appeared on his face as he strode forward boldly.

"Apart from the limiters staying off a little longer than usual, are there any other notable changes I should know about?" Derik inquired "Coughs… coughs…. I didn't want to say everything in a bid to keep your hopes high but since you asked I'll speak on it. The power level he attains with his limiters taken off is also higher than yours, the duration also lengthens but the consequences still remain the same " Demos said "You're aware of the presence of Gerald Gyro and the rest… I recommend you do not take off your own limiters and avoid entering a weakened state after… even if you have proven your usefulness, the temptation to end you will arise again should you be found in a vulnerable state " Demos advised

"Yea… I know you don't have to remind me " Derik said.

His eyes s.h.i.+fted to Donald and Daemon's bodies which were now surrounded in golden light and suspended in mid air. Loud shrieks and Cry's echoed around the forest that night as the golden divine light invaded their bodies and slowly burnt away all traces of death energy slowly while healing them as well.

This was the only reason why Cyrus was yet to attack Derik, he first prioritized the life of his team first and during the process of cleansing and healing, he was vulnerable. Kira, Karl, and Gin stood between him and Derik in hopes of preventing Derik from interfering. It was already an established fact that they were not his match, so no one took the initiative to attack.

"You purposefully missed vital organs when you attacked them and the death energy in their bodies stop spreading after it got to a certain point… You weren't really planning to kill them in the first place… it seems like you still have a heart after all" Cyrus said with narrowed eyes

Hearing this Kira and the others were shocked as they stared at Derik utterly confused. This guy has been rampaging for so long that they actually thought he has lost it only to realize he has been careful all this while not to kill anyone. "Oooo… Did I miss? Dang it" Derik laughed

Hearing this Cyrus' face loosened greatly and he breathed out a sigh of relief before speaking

"I truly do not wish to harm you… but you hurt them… I have no choice but to fight back" Cyrus said with a bitter smile on his face

Derik shook his head repeatedly and laughed

"When you all sold me out for a few benefits… I'm pretty sure you guys didn't even break a sweat when making the decision whether to sell me off or not… by the way, I'm just a commoner… You all should be thankful that I spared their lives" Derik sneered.

His cold gaze made everyone in his view tremble. At this point, the anger in the hearts of Karl, Kira, and Gin has subsided, replaced with guilt. They turned their attention to Cyrus. Their eyes showed their unwillingness to continue. They slowly backed away picking up Donald and Daemon who were still unconscious

Seeing this a satisfied smile appeared on Derik's face, the bone spear vanished and was replaced with a bone bow and a bone quiver filled with bone arrows.

Cyrus could understand Derik's intentions, the others may not be aware of the presence of Gerald and a few other powerful experts but Derik and Cyrus could feel it. Both controlled the power of life and death so they could always feel the presence of anything living or dead. It is practically impossible to sneak up on these two unless you control forces that are not natural.

He and Derik had spent so much time together practicing before the adventurer's license exams, so well that he could tell what Derik was thinking to an extent. He knew everything Derik has been doing is aimed at improving his image and worth in the eyes of these people. If he could prove his worth to these people, they may let him enter the moonlight forest with them! Cyrus really couldn't tell why Derik thought the best place to escape is the moonlight forest but he wasn't planning on asking.

His former stiff face brightened and a broad smile appeared on his face. He nodded in agreement to Derik and spoke

"I hope you remember this favor when you return… and don't expect me to hold back either… I don't want to lose face in front of these people" Cyrus said

Derik nodded his head and all the dark energy running through his veins burst out, forming a cloud of darkness over his head. The fiery purple fire burning at the center of his pitch black eyes lit up and his body trembled greatly as he started chanting

"Oooo lord of the underworld, keeper of the souls of the condemned and bringer of darkness, grant thy servant the swift movement of wind and the stealthiness of the shadow… Allow me to roam free in the ghastly form that I may become one with the darkness… Dark magic: Dark empowerment!" he roared as his body was instantly shrouded in a thick mist of death aura.

Within the cloud of thick black clouds, a pair of purple fiery eyes lit up and its scorching gaze fell on Cyrus who remained unmoved.

Gerald and the rest all wore interesting expressions on their faces as they stared at Derik and Cyrus with hints of respect and envy. Truly, the benefits of having a guardian spirit can never be overemphasized. Even the Royal family of Gyro only a one star rated fire magic which was later upgraded and pa.s.sed down after multiple generations sat down and worked on the magic, searching for the perfect path which could boost the overall power and ratings of their magic.

Three generations ago, they finally had a breakthrough and found a way to evolve their magic, changing the one star rated fire magic to a low level four star rated magic, dragon flames. Now everyone child born into the Royal family possesses the same magic with Kuen as the only exception who is Gerald's step brother.

Kuen's mother was from a respectable family in Cato who was sold to the King of Gyro, Robert in exchange for a deeper relations.h.i.+p with the family and resources. This went well until Kuen's mother died on the day Kuen was born. After which Robert cut off all ties with the family when he realized that Kuen was in possession of a peak five star rated magic, Gravity magic!

He knew the family would demand for the child if they found out about his special cosmic spirit and the kingdom of Cato may even get involved in the tussle if they heard of this so all connection they had with the family was cut off. All attempts to reach the royal family of the Gyro kingdom failed and all these people knew was that their daughter died during child birth and the child didn't survive as well.

Knowing the potential this kid possesses, Robert spared no resources in training him, letting the boy undergo refinement immediately his body met the requirements. Unfortunately, cosmic spirits are quite different from guardian spirits and normal magic spirits. These are forces that possess powers not too inferior to the creator! These beings have been in existence from the beginning of time and are known for their prideful nature. They never make contact with their hosts unless these hosts reach a certain realm. All the previous champions who broke past the realm of humans and became demi G.o.ds. A demi G.o.d son, who won't be excited?

The only reason Derik and the other could put Kuen in a difficult position the last time they fought is simply because the guy is yet to get in contact with his cosmic spirit and couldn't compare! Given enough time, the kid will definitely reach a realm where Derik and Cyrus combined won't even be able to put a scratch on his body!
