184 Chapter 184: A new family 1 (1/2)

In the darkness of the night, under the watchful eyes of the ever bright moon, a figure appeared above what was left of the Cathedral of the holy church. His face looked pale and his body weak, it was obvious he had sustained injuries that would take time to him. But for now, he could only put up a domineering appearance in a bid to hide his weakness.

Derik could feel a sharp pain piercing into his tainted soul, his eyes were a bit sunken and his body fat seemed to have reduced drastically. His condition was worse than anyone could expect, perhaps even a year of rest will not allow him to return to his peak condition again, take less of advancing in the realm.

”Damn it… Things turned out to be harder than I thought...” Derik muttered with a bitter smile on his face.

”You're the one who rushed in headfirst… If you waited a few more years and cultivated diligently before you made a move against Gyro, You may have gained the strength to even annihilate the forces of the various kingdoms that planned to steal the loot…” Demos replied.

”Haha… that would have been fun… but you know I was running out of time, I had to act fast” Derik quickly defended himself.

”And now you will spend that same amount of time you would have used to push yourself into the gold realm to recover… mortals… You all lack patience” Demos retorted

”That's right! We lack patience because we cannot escape time. Our time is limited…” Derik sighed.

”Yea… yea… Anyway, why did you come back here…” Demos asked

”When we attacked the cathedral, I could sense some sort of familiar aura, identical to mine but a bit weaker” Derik's voice lowered as he spoke.

”What do you think is down there?” Demos asked casually. It was obvious he was not interested in what Derik felt, since the presence is weaker than Derik's, then there is no reason for a higher being like himself to bother about it.

”Every kingdom has dark mages of various kinds… even if they are rare, it's not difficult to spot at least five, even in Cato, where I spent half a decade… I only left the crib only a few times yet I spotted over three of them… But in Gyro, Kira is the only one in possession of a variant of dark magic, something feels off about it” Derik said.

”….” Demos suddenly got quiet. This aroused Derik's suspicion even more.

”Demos… what are you not telling me” Derik was already used to Demos' unique character, so it was quite easy for him to realize that Demos was hiding something.

”Well, you know I'm not allowed to disclose somethings, even to you, my host… If these laws did not exist, all guardian spirit hosts will be aware of the situation across the world without lifting a finger…” Demos reluctantly explained why he's yet to speak on the issue.

”I'm about to find out… Can't I get some hints?” Derik said with a weird smile on his face.

Demos only grunted in response. For a reason, Derik felt like the death guardian spirit could see his facial expression so he stopped making faces. Demos intended to play deaf on this issue but under Derik's constant nagging, his strong will broke down, leaving the angel of death with no choice but to speak.

”Alright! Alright!! I wish Gyro can see it's so called guardian behaving like a twelve-year-old!” Demos snorted disdainfully.

”Unfortunately for you, that will never happen… Now tell me what I want to know” Derik grinned childishly as he spoke.

”Get moving… I will explain on the way” Demos responded after a few seconds of silence.
