84 Chapter 84: Expedition 4 (1/2)

After a month of secluded cultivation and training, Derik's appearance had changed considerably. His eyes had turned pitch black with the purple iris at the center. His once reach milk colored skin had gone pale and streams of purple color could be seen all over his pitch black flowing hair. His expression had turned stiff and he always looked indifferent about everything.

Donald, Daemon and the rest returned to the mansion at the capital a month later with the most powerful adventurer team in Briton, a small squad of highly talented mages and warriors from the military and two members of the royal family. Gerald Gyro and his younger sister, Anna Gyro.

Derik silently watched from the comfort of his room as the expedition team arrived with the people he once called teammates, and this convinced him of Demo's suspicions. His cold eyes darted around the expedition team calmly and a slight curve appeared at the edge of his lips as he realized how powerful they forces they came with were.

All seven members of the adventurer team were at the mid grade of the silver realm with strength almost comparable to the leader of the adventurers association, Gerald Gyro. He had heard of this adventurer team which was branded the most powerful adventurer team in Briton even when he was little. They called themselves 'The Miracle' and as the name implied, this team has mysteriously performed miraculous deeds and accomplished tasks way above their realm.

Rumors of their battle against the number one adventurer team in Cato spread far and wide simply because it was difficult to believe it. At that point, these people were only at the low grade of the silver realm when they stumbled across a treasure. Unfortunately, the most powerful adventurer team of the Cato kingdom had also found the treasure and it was clear that both sides were not willing to share.

A long battle ensured and the miracle team members still sent them running even though they are weaker in terms of realms and equipment.

”Eleven silver realm warriors and Mages and the rest are at the peak of the bronze realm… They sure are taking this seriously” Demos mused ”Yep... Since this may be my life's final act…. I might as well put up a show which will be engraved in their hearts even after I die... And should I survive this... They will be forced to live in fear for the rest of their lives” Derik responded indifferently

Sheeeeeeeessssssh!!!

.....

While Gerald and the others waited outside the gates of the mansion, their expressions turned ugly as some sort of dark energy seeped out of the windows of the room. Soon the room was shrouded in darkness and a burning purple pair of eyes lit like a candle in the darkness. Even though the adventurers and military officials at the silver class realm were not terrified by this, it still made them grimace. It was a different case for those at the bronze class realm, their bodies shivered involuntarily and they all wore ugly expressions.

The dark aura soon dispersed and a few minutes later, the mansion gates yanked open and Derik walked out. He wore a sleeveless slim fit plain black shirt, black trousers and a pair of black boots. All the hair on his head stood up and his burning purple eyes glowed fiercely. On his back hung a quiver filled with arrows and a normal bow on his right hand.

He walked towards a horse presented to him by one of the military officials while dragging a big bag filled with food and other unknown items easily as if it was weightless. Climbing on the horse without sparing Donald and the rest a glance, he shifted his attention to Gerald and spoke with a confident smile on his face

”I apologize for wasting so much of your precious time… I'm ready now… let's leave” He said

Hearing this everyone was startled including Gerald and Anna. Even a fool cod tell the intentions of the king, yet he dared to come out here with only a regular bow and arrows. He didn't even put on the archery class leather armor!
