303 Chapter 303

Name:Legendary Guardian Author:Riviz
Gliding slightly above the surface of the endless seas, Derik looked over his shoulders with dilated eyes, desperately praying that his pursuers took the bait and got lost or maybe just got bored and dispersed, but that wasn't the case.

Chirp!

Chirp!!

Chirp!!!

The horrifying sound reached their ears and the aura signature of these beasts kept approaching at an astonishing speed. In response, all three once again gathered what little power they had and created three more identical beams of light with a little part of their life force embedded into it to make it more realistic, sending it north of their direction, but this only caused a split second hesitation for their pursuers before they continued the chase.

Soon a strange looking humanoid bird appeared into view with shiny golden talons and beaks. Its eyes were locked on Derik, Cyrus, and Kaido, while a smug look appeared on its face as it watched them flee desperately.

With a loud cry, five more members of the birdmen tribe appeared, and then the number doubled, and then it tripled, it didn't take long before Derik could easily count over a hundred with just a glance. These beasts her the figure of a man, some buff and macho while the others were slim but all had four limbs, with golden feathers covering their bodies and their blue eyes glittering under the sun they looked like heavenly creatures and in any other situation, they would have taken their time to admire these magnificent beasts but not today.

"Damn it… They literarily brought their whole clan" Cyrus gritted his teeth while silently cursing their bad luck.

Not only were these beasts faster, making it possible for them to catch up to them easily. But their ability to see through replica's, clones, diversions made them the perfect predators.

"What god did we offend?" Kaido's face turned pale when he saw how easily these beasts caught up to them even though they had a few seconds headstart.

Derik and Cyrus would have been pleased in the past if they knew about these beasts and their role as guardians but at their current position, they really couldn't care less about their past deeds and roles, they were only focused on surviving.

Roar!

Derik suddenly let out a loud roar as his eyes let out a bright red light. Almost instantly, his body began twisting and turning in various ways they shouldn't. His body kept enlarging and his skin tore, letting his black blood gush out from the wounds but this wasn't even the worse part. Bone breaking sounds echoed all over the endless seas, stopping both the birdmen, Cyrus and Kaido. They could only watch the transformation in horror and fear.

This was the first time since Derik acquired the werewolf curse from Scott Lockwood that he dared performed a full transformation. This transformation is usually restricted to the alpha's only and ever since Derik died at the hands of the Salvor family vampires and was then revived by Demos, his link to Scott's pack was completely severed, granting him the title of a lone wolf.

Lone wolves are only as strong as betas and usually weaker than alphas in a wolf pack but this didn't matter to Derik since he always relied on his magic to defeat his opponents. After he created his own sect harbored hundreds and thousands of humans with supernatural powers, werewolves and vampires included, Derik rose from the status of lone wolf to alpha.

In normal circumstances, Derik wouldn't have bothered to use this ability and endure the pain of transformation but the situation was different now. With little or no mana, he could barely maintain his flight spell not to talk of use magic, meaning he could only rely on his physical strength. Since they couldn't flee, its only natural for him to chose the next best thing.

To Fight.

After his transformation, Derik became a two-meter tall werewolf, standing on its hind legs with bright purple fur and glowing blood-red eyes. His claws were shrouded with death aura and his body oozed of death.

"Since you wish to fight… I'll be your opponent" Derik's eyes squinted as he spoke.

With his immortal body, coupled with the werewolves terrifying physical capabilities, he was sure he would win, as long as he could endure the pain of being killed over and over again.

"That won't be a problem" Derik revealed a cruel smile, revealing his fangs.

"Crazy bastard… since we can't flee, I might as well lend you a hand" Kaido let out a sigh when he understood Derik's intentions.

He quickly stored his shirt in his storage ring before taking a deep breath and gathering his energy.

"The one path" He muttered as his body also grew in size and his muscles began bulging.

A thick pillar of the sunray fell upon him and his power spiked creating a shockwave that blew Cyrus back but Derik remained unmoved by this power. He only shot Kaido a glance before smiling cruelly.
