186 Chapter 186: False death mage! (1/2)

”So where are we going now, Sir Derik?” Dimitris asked while holding on to Derik's index finger and followed Derik closely. For some unknown reason the 13-year-old felt warm and safe around Derik, he tightened grip Oon Derik's finger with the same innocent smile on his face.

The others too felt the same way as Dimitris. They too had this strange feeling towards Derik, it felt like they were looking up to a greater being, meant to shield them forms of evil.  These people have been tortured and experimented on for so long, now someone with a strangely superior aura that could shield them from all forms of danger, they couldn't help but feel relieved. Unknown to them and even Derik, the death aura flowing out of Derik was having some sort of strange superiority effect of the lesser forms, unconsciously making them dependent on him.

”There is someone else in here… It won't take long… It's just a bit further and we will be done with this… Then we can go home” Derik replied softly while looking into the big eyes of the gray-haired kid.

Dimitris nodded in response and walked silently. At this moment they had nothing to fear! Right in front of them was a bronze realm undead fire mage leading the way through the dark tunnels and behind them were about ten silver realm warriors and mages. Even though these people were already aware of the demise of their oppressors, the holy church. Derik still decided to put in an extra effort just to make them feel safe.

The journey continued for a few minutes and they finally arrived at a steel door with so many locks and a powerful defense formation. The nature of this defense formation was to destroy anything evil that approaches it, that way only those with life energy can this formation and walk past the door with no issues.

The moment the undead bronze realm fire mage was just fifty meters away from the iron door, numerous bolts of divine energy lashed out at it like serpents, dealing numerous deadly damages. If it were an undead summoned by a mere necromancer it would have been obliterated permanently by now but this was Derik's undead summons. A being draw power from the purest form of evil power! How can a few bolts of light element destroy it?

”Get back!” Derik decisively shoved Dimitris back and undid his summoning spell on the undead fire mage. His eyes let out a darkish purple glow and his aura erupted like an overflowing fountain, washing through everyone in the narrow tunnel while crashing on to the defensive formation like a massive tidal wave.

The four kids stared at Derik's back with shocked expressions on their faces. They had suffered so much at the hands of numerous light mages of the holy church and most times they were intimidated into submission with sheer power but none of them could compare to Derik who was standing in front of them like an ancient immovable wall. Not only was this man the only person that could understand them but he also had the strength to protect them, why won't they feel elated? Even though they could not tell Derik's power level because of their extremely low cultivation base but at this very moment, they felt like even if the whole world should join hands to hunt them down, they will never be able to lay a finger on them as long as Derik stood with them.

Bam!

Bam!!

Bam!!!

A wave of golden light aura flowed out of the formation and crashed into Derik's death aura, clashing with it ruthlessly. At this point, the tunnel trembled greatly and looked like it would cave in at any moment but the kids weren't worried, as long as Derik is right in front of them, no harm can come to them.

”Hahahaha…. A mere priest of the holy must have set this seal… that's why it's so weak!” Derik laughed as he felt the overall power of the seal and knew that Aldora had nothing to do with it.

With his current condition, coupled with his fast depleting energy, he knew that he could only retreat shamefully if he came across a seal set by a gold realm master like Aldora, but luckily for him, that wasn't the case today.

”Shatter!” Derik grabbed the void fiercely and clenched his fist forcefully.

In response, the iron door was suddenly pulled out of the doorpost forcefully and was crushed into a small iron ball with rough edges. At this time, the whole tunnel has been badly affected by Derik's corrosive death aura and it seemed like it would crumble at any time.

Without thinking, Derik's body flashed and he vanished into the darkroom, reappearing beside the four kids the next second with another child their age in his hands. Even though the whole place shook violently and it seemed like it would crumble at any moment, Derik wasn't in a hurry. He calmly looked down at the little cute gray-haired Dimitris and smiled.

”Are you ready to go?” He asked softly.

”Hm!” Dimitris nodded in response.

”Big bro is really cool… Blow this place up!” Philips said with a wide grin.

”Yea… Big bro is really strong… Destroy everything!” Andrew laughed.
