86 Chapter 86: The Journey 2 (1/2)
After waiting for a while, Donald, Daemon, Kira, Karl, Gin, and Cyrus appeared from the dense forest. Under Derik's malicious gaze their body stiffened and they didn't approach any further. They stood there for over a minute and no side spoke to the other
”Don't tell me you came here to stare at me… Speak quickly, my time is limited” Derik snorted as he spokeHearing his words, their expressions darkened and they suddenly realized that the chances of their goal been fulfilled are quite low. They were hoping that Derik will understand their reasons and at least not hate them but considering the way he spoke and looked at them it became obvious that he wasn't really planning to believe anything they were planning to say
Karl and the others pondered for a while in silence on how to tackle this situation.
”We are really sorry” Daemon spoke afterward while approaching Derik. Her huge eyes were watery and her face had reddened.
Even seeing this wasn't enough to move Derik. His gaze was still cold and he simply glanced at everyone present and sighed. The frown on his face loosened and his anger changed to indifference
”Your reasons for plotting against me with my enemies were not unexpected… You don't have to bother much… I don't blame any of you for the side you chose to stand with, if the situation was reversed I may have done the same” Derik said indifferently. ”I apologize in advance though” A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he spokeSeeing this, Daemon's expression turned ugly as she understood the meaning behind Derik's words, turning her attention to Cyrus and the rest behind her, she realized they also wore the same ugly expressions but their hostility towards Derik was more profound than hers. ”My final advice to you Daemon… An assassin shouldn't be too emotional… Your emotions are the reason you are the weakest in the team… Deal with it” Derik snorted with his hands wrapped around his chest
Hearing this, Daemon cursed him silently and tried to control her anger. Like, come on? they came here to apologize, the least he can do is accept and send them off”That's enough Derik… We only came here to apologize and inform you that we won't be taking part in the ambush… when it happens we are not allowed to interfere… you don't have to be on guard against us” Kira said with knitted eyebrows
Hearing this, Derik suddenly laughed out hysterically for a while and then stopped abruptly which startled everyone
”That's good… It just reduces the number of people I need to deal with when the time comes… as for letting my guard down… I don't think so” Derik sneered
Karl and the others were startled by his words and pondered for a while, what sort of confidence those this guy have that makes the guy act so recklessly. First, he didn't bring the only tool which would have let him survive a while longer if besieged by the military, Miracle adventurer team, and the members of the royal family. Even with the bronze level magic bow, the chances of him surviving such an assault was below zero percent.
The team still failed to understand why Derik still carried himself so confidently. Knowing their friend, they could tell he had something up his sleeves which no one could understand no matter how hard they tried. The real question was this, what gives him so much confidence? Was it his guardian spirit? What kind of spell did it reveal to Derik? Is there a spell capable of making a recruit defat multiple Silver realm and Bronze realm warriors?
Seeing the puzzled look on their faces, Derik chuckled and sneered at them”Don't bother yourself with issues like this… when this is all over, I'll definitely slaughter everyone who has a hand in this… not a single soul will be left alive!” Derik claimed
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
Golden aura, orange aura, and blood red aura quickly surrounded Cyrus, Karl, and Kira's body respectively. Their gazes were cold and there hostile intentions were no longer hidden”You dare threaten our families?” Cyrus roared
”If you wish to destroy those who we seek to protect Derik, then I'm sorry, we are not friends!!” Karl roared
”If I let you act that simply means the purpose of me doing this has been wasted…. I chose this part just to protect my family… but if you choose to kill the people we on to protect, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I will not show you mercy!” Kira roared!
”Blood magic: Blood spear!” Kira muttered and a deep cut instantly appeared on his palm, from it a small torrent of blood poured out, twisting and turning this blood took the form of a spear and graciously descended into Kira's hands
”From the pit of the abyss, I call upon thee, fight my battles and smite thy enemies… Become my shield and become my sword… let my foes shriek at the mention of thy name… Blood summon; Hellspawn!!!”
With bloodshot eyes, Kira roared and struck his left palm with the blood spear in his hands and blood poured out. Suddenly, the blood gathered at one point and formed a ten-meter wide pool beside Kira. From this pool shrieks and cries emanated, a bloodied hand that possessed pointy claws emerged and grabbed the ground and slowly pulled itself out.
The hellspawn was just about 5ft tall and it stood on all four, its body looked like chunks of expired meat put together. It had the shape of a hound and several holes through which blood flowed out of those holes.
Even though Derik has seen this beast before, he still felt couldn't help complementing Kira, a mage without the support of a guardian spirit being able to follow the path of a summoner and a fighter is no small thing. Unfortunately, he wasn't planning to be polite with these people he once called friends
”Ooo condemned soul of the underworld, the one which led was led astray by the lord of light and the devout, where art thy gods? As the messenger of death who comes from the deepest parts of the underworld, I sentence thee to eternal damnation and rob thee of thy Freedom… Death magic: Death Bind!!!” Derik muttered casually with an indifferent look on his face.
Dark clouds gathered and thunderstorms ensured for a while. Seeing this, Kira's face discolored. He could remember his little rumble with Derik, alongside Gin over a year ago. It was as if he was reliving the same traumatic experience, his eyebrows slammed against each other and he was about to scream out an order to the hellspawn but before he could speak the two large skeletal hands burst out of the ground and locked the hellspawn in a bear hug, robbing it of its mobility.
Watching the hellspawn struggle desperately Derik chuckled and a sinister smile appeared on his face. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he casually walked towards the bound hellspawn as he spoke
