254 Chapter 254: Leaving the continent 4

"This Derik tried to get on his feet but he suddenly felt dizzy and fell on one knee again. This could be considered the first time in a long while Derik has felt so weak.

"I don't think I will be trying this again…" Derik muttered with a bitter smile flashing on his face.

The darkness clustered around his eyes lessened greatly, revealing his glowing green pupils. Laying on the bare floor Derik tried to control his breathing, he didn't expect his actions to have such an effect on him, but he didn't regret it. These five kids could be considered his new family, his only family, increasing their strength right now has always been his top priority! The stronger they become, the less he would have to bother about them. Now they have entered the silver realm, considering their combat standards as well, Derik was quite sure that if these kids join hands, they can defeat a peak grade silver realm expert. Right now they only have to worry about old monsters like Kira, Gerald, Gin, and others who have been stuck at the peak grade of the silver realm for close to two decades or more, or the gold realm masters.

"Are you okay?" Blake and the other four ran over to Derik's side, helping him sit up.

"Hehehehe… Don't worry about me, I may be old now but I'm not that weak yet" Derik laughed weakly.

"Maybe he hit his head too hard…" Jean chuckled lightly.

"You shouldn't do something that will hurt you this much, big bro" Philip said with a worried look on his face.

"Come on now… It worked right… This thing I did for you guys, don't ever try doing it for anyone else… even if the person is way weaker than you… This stuff almost killed me…" Derik said with a stern look on his face.

"Okay…" Blake and the others agreed hastily. Only then did Derik's face loosen slightly.

"And now we are done with this, let me give you my second gift, then you will be on your way" Derik suddenly spoke up after a while.

He sprang on his feet and gazed at the kids right in front of him, the second part gift he decided to give to them were small portions of his real strength. He first walked up to Philip and waved his hand, from his storage ring was a torn old parchment with ancient letters and terrifying evil aura exuding from it. The first item he received from the creator after conquering the dungeon was the death scythe, a growth type equipment that improves and becomes more powerful as long as its wielder keeps growing in strength as well. The second item was the silver container which stored all the seven deadly sins, these sins represented the emotions responsible for the downfall of man. All these emotions also represented the emotions necessary for one to reach his or her peak, as long as one the person can find a balance within all these powerful emotions, they will easily topple any challenge that comes their way. Only after inheriting all seven sins did Derik understand the truth behind this power.

At first, Derik was disappointed because he was expecting something explosive, something with so much destructive force, something spectacular but when he realized these sins just allowed the user to manipulate the emotions of one based on the sin being used Derik was slightly disappointed and has never used it again. Only now, he has become more mature and thoughtful did he realize how priceless the seven sins are.

Meanwhile, the final item Derik received was the strange parchment with so much evil aura that Derik dare not bring it out in public. This parchment allows one to sign a contract with the great Abyss, lord of all demons found in the underworld, and a great warrior as well. This equipment would excite any summoner but Derik wasn't moved by this item, he already had the most powerful being in the underworld as his master, why go for the second best? Also, he wasn't the type that would let a demon inhabit his body, so he never bothered using it.

But for someone like Philp who possessed the Demon possession magic, this could be considered a priceless item. His current demon could only make him rival low-grade silver realm elites in power but the aura the scroll exuded showed that this beast could easily topple the peak grade realm experts and even allow him to compete with gold realm masters!

"As strong as it looks, it's still a demon and demons don't like being controlled… I will ask my guardian spirit to have Abyss take it easy on you but that doesn't mean it will let you off the hook easily, demons are cunning and deceitful, we cannot let them penetrate your heart and mind… this should be your trump card… use it only when necessary… Do you understand?" Derik explained this to Philp slowly who responded with a firm nod. Only then did Derik hand over the item to him.

After this he walked over to Dimitris next, he has always had a soft spot for this kid since the very day he met him. There is something about the kid's smile that just moves Derik's heart, making him want to protect this child even at the cost of his life. Derik sincerely believed that amongst all the kids he saved from the holy churches underground lab, Dimitris had suffered the most since he was the one who spent the most time there, even at a younger age. Such a situation where someone is been used as a lab rat for years will break any normal person's will and drive them crazy but this kid didn't break, he always had a smile on his sincere smile on his face, showing that he had a very good heart and a strong mind as well.

"No harm will ever befall you as long as I'm alive…." Derik fell on one knee as he caressed Dimitris's face. His shadow expanded and three figures emerged from his shadow. The first was a man with bright yellow hair, surrounded by a gust of wind while the second was a woman with light blue hair and lightning sprinting all over her body, while the final was a very large man more than two meters tall, with a pair of stained white angel wings. All three of these people had the cultivation base of the peak grade of the silver realm and their combat standards are on par with Kira and the other old monsters, with their undying body giving them the advantage.

"With these three as your bodyguards, you don't have to fear anyone in this kingdom…I'm handing over their undead souls to you, little brother… Use these three powerful undead's to protect our family… Okay?" Derik spoke to Dimitris softly.
