197 Chapter 197: Four elemental ancient dragon lords 3

Name:Legendary Guardian Author:Riviz
Cyrus' right hand was broken and his face was filled with glittering golden blood. His glowing golden eyes had dimmed greatly and his palace master golden robe was torn at so many points. He looked slightly thinner and his body was as white as a sheet of paper, lacking any sign of blood or redness.

Derik's condition was even worse. Since he has been defeated this badly, the dark cluster of death aura around him, revealing his real figure. His skin color was as pale as that of Cyrus as well, is fiery darkish purple eyes had lost its light and his death mage robe was torn beyond recognition. On his stomach was a massive hole, reaching up to his chest revealing his damaged internal organs, and his body was covered in his corrosive black blood.

It became clear how he lost the battle, one on the massive claws of the dragon must have found its way into his belly. It's even a miracle that he could stand at this moment. With their current condition, no one needed any explanation to know that these two were utilizing their aura's to suppress their injuries, especially Derik. They were in need of medical attention and that was why they returned to the royal palace directly.

"Palace master!"

"Palace master!!"

"Big bro!!"

"Guardians!!!"

Numerous voices resonated from the courtroom and the massive golden doors were yanked open and numerous people dashed out and quickly swarmed around these two people. They looked relieved at first but when they inspected the condition of these two people, their expression turned sour and gloomy. They felt stupid for thinking that these two masters close to the low grade of the gold realm could battle a monster like that flame dragon that can take on masters at the peak grade of the gold realm!

The fact that they survived this encounter and were able to drive the beast away showed how amazing they are. No one in this continent can replicate such feats, they felt proud.

"What are you waiting for, pretty please?" Derik sneered as he spat out another mouthful of black blood.

Only then did these people stop daydreaming and help them in. They were placed in a special underground chamber directly under the royal palace for treatment. There over twenty of the kingdom finest healers were invited to work on them.

Cyrus' case was more straightforward and easier to handle. He only suffered numerous burns and minor slash injuries but Derik on his own part was a bit more, tricky. His organs were messed up and the massive hole in his chest was not something that could be healed in a short while. It was very shocking that the death mage was able to live till this moment.

That was when a shocking truth was revealed to them all!

The gold realm represented the peak form of a being before transitioning into the position of gods and demigods. At this level, one's understanding and mastery over their element have become so deep, that they tend to retrain some unique traits their elements represent.

In Cyrus' case, as he was only a step away from the Gold realm, his overall life force began to expand and his life force has become so abundant that it was getting to a stage where he could share his life force with a dead person. In simpler terms, his abilities have reached a stage where he can pull someone out of the brink of death by sharing his own life force with that person.

The spell of resurrection!

As for Derik, whose element represented death. At this point, they realized most of his body organs have stopped functioning and he was more like a walking corpse, if not from the fact that he is yet to break into the gold realm, his pain receptors would have been nullified completely as well. His breath was like death and if his power was not controlled, he could easily snuff the life out of a weaker foe. Should Derik break into the gold realm, he may become similar to the undead that he controls.

The changes on these two truly terrified those around them, this led them to question the changes that may be taking place in the life of the other guardian spirit hosts who may be trying to break through into the gold realm as well.

The new changes took them all by surprise since this was the first time the guardian spirits in the continent have lived past the silver realm, making their way into the gold realm. With this, they realized that the difference between them and other mages was truly vast.

....................................….

A month later, the completely recovered Kingdom guardians appeared in the royal courtroom with the major stakeholders of the kingdom to discuss the recent issues facing the continent. Just as the elven queen Elena predicated, after their recovery they were both at the doorstep of the gold realm, only requiring a single push to enter the next realm. Their aura was as vast as the ocean yet it was very unstable.

"You all may be curious why Cyrus and I risked our lives against these flame dragon… They are called the four elemental dragon kings, whose control over their elements are just too profound… These beasts will awaken during the chaotic era and mark the beginning of the end…" Derik said.

At this point, the dark aura around Derik was gone. Derik had long flowing black hair which reached his waist, his ears were long and point like that of the wolves and each time he spoke his fangs were revealed. His eyes were like the bottomless pit which only darkness resides and his claws were always visible. His transition into a profound realm with his werewolf abilities seemed to have a strong change in his physique, making him look a bit more wolf-like.

This made others feel really concerned but Derik didn't seem to be bothered by this at all. The sudden change had increased his overall strength by a large portion. His strength and speed had already reached a high level, why would he be bothered about his appearance?

"According to our guardian spirits… The fire dragon will be the one to awaken the other three elemental dragons… The four of them will bring about the destruction of all life on this continent and the rise of the magic beasts will begin…" Cyrus said. He seemed unconcerned by this.

"If that's the case, then… the situation is quite…. Bad…" Gerald's voice trailed off as he spoke.

Just like him, the others in the room seemed a bit shaken by Derik and Cyrus' words. They wore gloomy expressions and even the five kids under Derik's care were scared by this.

"Is it really over?... Is everyone going to die?" Dimitris held on to Derik's index finger and asked.

Everyone turned their attention to Derik, hoping to know what sort of answer Derik would give the child.

"Hahaha… Of course not… Since the magic beasts will be a problem for my little Dimitri, I'll just kill every single one of them…" Derik answered softly. He gently rubbed the kid's chin and turned his attention to the others in the room.

"Give us a few months to breakthrough… Buy us some time and end this matter…" Derik said with a vicious smile.

"Do you really intend to wipe out all the magic beasts in this world?" Agus blinked twice as he asked the question with a fearful look on his face.

"Of course… I'll have my gold realm undead assist in the protection of this kingdom while we are gone… Have a nice day…" Derik said with a wild smile, revealing his fangs, after which he vanished with Cyrus.

"The next few years will be very interesting, don't you think so Derik?" Cyrus' fading voice echoed from afar.

"Hahahaha! Definitely!" Derik responded.

Those in the room were left stunned by this, they began wondering how the Gyro kingdom produced two monsters in the same era.
