274 Chapter 274: Nameless Heroes! (2/2)
Suddenly images of five people crossed Derik's mind, these were the five people he rescued from the underground laboratory of the holy church and took them in as his family. He wasn't sure if these people were actually dead and he strongly kicked against those thoughts but something told him he was wrong. Lost in his thoughts he saw a vision of his favorite, Dimitris walking towards him with a cheerful smile
”Dimitris” Derik muttered and reached for the kid but the boy vanished only after giving him a warm smile.
Derik's black heart shattered at this moment and he felt like crying out loud for the very first time in a while, all he wanted to do at this point is go home and check on these people but that was clearly impossible.
”I WILL KILL THEM ALL! ALL OF THEM, I SWEAR IT!!!!” Derik bellowed furiously as the barrier set around him exploded violently, pushing the two bird-like magic beasts away.
He lunged towards the one at the left and with his death scythe in his hand, he split that one in half!
Swish!
Derik's lower half was severed from the main body in just a blink of an eye. Without caring for his condition, Derik turned to meet the gaze of the second bird responsible for this and opened his mouth wide. From it, a large beam of death energy exploded and consumed the beast.
At that time, Derik's lower half had miraculously reattached itself to his body. Allowing him to continue with another slashing attack, splitting the second beast in two. Derik's sudden outburst of rage surprised Cyrus and Kaido, leaving them confused for a while but when their eyes met with Derik's pitch black eyes, they saw emotions they have never witnessed before in those eyes.
It wasn't anger… It was sorrow.
”Aaaaaaaagh!!!!!!!” Derik roared, turning into a beam of darkish purple light and charging into the group of monsters heading their way, all he wanted to do at this point is kill.
Meanwhile, the other two understood something has happened back home and for Derik to be moved to this extent, it had to be related to those five kids he took in as his family.
”Dumb fools, when we return to the empire, Derik will surely burn it to the ground… No one will be spared…” Kaido lamented.
”Be it a hundred years or a thousand, it doesn't matter… Derik will surely vent out his anger on the empire.. he will definitely kill everyone and everything responsible for this… the empire has lost his protection for good this time… its only natural I withdraw mine as well” Cyrus said with a rueful sigh.
