174 Chapter 174: Shattering the barrier (1/2)

Roar!

With a roar, Derik turned into a mass of darkish purple aura as he stormed forward viciously with his death avatar by his side. His eyes revealed his pure, untainted disdain as he raised his hand and black clouds began gathering above the church!

”Death magic: Darkness lightning descent” Derik roared and a deadly darkish purple light flashed in his eyes. He and his death avatar swiftly reached for the void and instantly pulled down!

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

Numerous bolts of purple lightning rained down on the golden barrier but it seemed as if no damage was been dealt. Instead, the web-like cracks on the barriers kept regeneration at a slow but steady pace…

This annoyed Derik!

He always knew his offensive capabilities were not the best but it doesn't really make him weak. Feeling the combined assault on the barrier was not working, he let out a roar and shot forward with malicious intentions visible in his cold eyes

”You can stand my lightning? Let's see how you handle this!” Derik at this moment was like a monster who is hellbent on eliminating his enemy. He muttered some strange words under his breath and the death scythe appeared in his hands.

”Fill!” Derik screamed as a large portion of death aura surrounding him slowly converged and began entering the death scythe in his hands. In response, the death scythe let out a soul-chilling screech and began vibrating intensely

In just a few seconds, Derik had crossed over a thousand meters, reaching the barrier surrounding the cathedral at a stunning speed. At this point, his hand trembled greatly but his grip remained firm as the death scythe shook violently after receiving a large portion of Derik's power. Everyone present could tell how much effort Derik put in this attack and could only pray it deals some damage!

”HAHAHAHAHAHA! THE HOLY CHURCH IS MEANT TO VANQUISH ALL FORM OF EVIL IN THIS WORLD, YET IT HIDES BEHIND A CRAPPY BARRIER WHEN CONFRONTED BY DEATH! WHAT A FARCE!” Derik was ruthless with his words and didn't spare any efforts in cursing the holy church viciously!

The death scythe in his hands suddenly let out another ear-piercing screech as the massive amount of death aura stored in it poured out and quickly formed a thin but thick layer of death energy around the magic weapon.

Meanwhile, the death avatar remained behind and maintained the darkness lightning descent magic. Even though the power of the lightning had greatly reduced after Derik left, all the descending bolts of lightning were focused on a particular spot on the barrier, the spot where the web-like crack appeared!

Even though this move did not deal any visible damage, it did reduce the speed at which the barrier regenerated, giving Derik enough time to act before it has fully recovered.

”Death magic: Consecutive purgatory slash assault…ALPHA!” Derik roared like a beast and quickly appeared around the spot with the visible crack, instantly brandishing his death scythe on it, thereby releasing shocking waves of death aura and shockwaves after each hit lands.

Crack!

Crack!!

At this time, the damaged part of the barrier stopped regenerating and a few more cracks appeared after Derik had delivered close to another thirty hits. He bit his lips in frustration and he quickly continued to attack the barrier while staying a safe distance from the darkish purple lightning.

Swooooooooshhhhh!

A beam of golden divine light, resembling a spear shot through the skies, heading towards the massive golden barrier. Cyrus snow-white eyes instantly turned golden and his body radiated divine light as he crossed hundreds of meters in just a blink of an eye.

”Guardian weapon path: Divine broadsword!” Cyrus roared as the void above him forcibly tore open and a massive divine broadsword appeared. This sword was over ten meters long and five meters wide, on its body were different ancient golden symbols while a dazzling green spiritual orb could be seen on the hilt of the broadsword!

”SHATTER THE SKIES!! SPLIT THE HEAVENS!!!” Cyrus no longer intended to allow Derik to act alone and instantly gathered his energy while he roared.

The already massive divine broadsword above his head released a faint golden glow and instantly doubled in size and power. It trembled greatly for a while after which it vanished, appearing above the dark clouds created by Derik's death avatar's darkness lightning descent, it dropped like a massive boulder pushed into an ocean. Its movement while it dropped was neither fast or slow but the pressure coming from the massive divine weapon kept growing and when it hit the already damaged spot of the golden barrier protecting the cathedral, the skies shook and trembled due to the shockwave caused by the impact thereby leaving everyone stunned.

[These two are too strong for their age!] everyone exclaimed in their mind.

They all witnessed the battle between Derik and Cyrus, back then they thought that both sides fought each other fiercely with killing intentions but now they have witnessed they fighting against a common enemy, these people realized that both sides hid a lot of power in that battle, in hopes of not delivering a fatal injury to the other.

Knowing there were people this young capable of wielding this much power, everyone was naturally stunned

”What are we waiting for? Let's give them a hand… that's why we are here!” Gerald was the first to snap out his daze and stormed forward!

The temperature suddenly rose drastically and his eyes released a yellow flash while steam escaped his nostrils and mouth as he moved.

Roar!!!!

”Dragon flame magic: Ancient flame dragon!” Gerald roared and a massive amount of orange aura burst out of his body. Slowly taking the form of an ancient winged dragon which has only been heard of in myths and legends

The others didn't stay idle for long either as the quickly chased after Gerlad while gathering their power, waiting to release their full strength!

....................

Every other person remained clustered at the royal palace as they feared they would be killed easily if they move an inch from their current position. They saw the massive beam of divine golden light and they were startled by the power of the attack. To be honest, even though they were hundreds of kilometers away from the cathedral, they felt like a mountain was dropped on them and this made them wonder what Derik and the others at the frontline felt when attacked by something so lethal and powerful! Even now they could feel the shockwaves of each attack coming from the direction of the cathedral and they instantly knew the real battle has begun!

”We can't let them go at this alone… if the elder prince Gerald and the death mage feel that the holy church should be uprooted from the Gyro kingdom, then we must support this decision…. Let's head out and provide them with as much support as we can!” The commander of the military forces of Gyro, Creed roared and shot towards the direction of the cathedral!

Hearing his words, the top tier experts like the miracle team of the adventurers association also voiced out their agreement with creeds words, chasing after the commander. Soon the combined forces of the Gyro kingdom military force and the adventurers association stormed towards the cathedral, leaving behind some trustworthy men to watch over the nobles of the kingdom whom Derik and Gerald found guilty of numerous crimes.

The members of the royal guard only watched things unfold with dark expressions. They knew they had fallen out with Derik who is soon to become an important figure in the Gyro kingdom and they completely regretted their decision.

If only they stood by Derik's side, they may have to face more hardship with him for a few years before triumphantly returning, may be stronger than they are now. But that didn't happen!
