310 Chapter 310: Return of the Fallen archangel

The smiles on their faces never faded.

Be it the internal injuries or the injuries that can be seen, they all healed at a rate visible to the eye for both Derik and Cyrus so they were not bothered about their condition. Instead, they focused on consuming the roaming life forces and souls of the birdmen who died a gruesome death at their hands. Their eyes remained shut and they entered a mediative state while trying to digest the souls of their victims and use it to further develop their realm.

Swoosh!

Suddenly a fourth figure appeared, Demos eyes were fixed on Derik, gazing at him in such a strange manner, that even Derik felt quite restless. Soon he shifted his attention to Cyrus who reacted the same way as Derik, each wearing a puzzled expression on their faces while waiting and hoping Demos would speak his mind.

"Last time I checked… You left us to die at the hands of those magic beasts, and then you show up as soon as the battle ends and keep giving us some sort of crappy look? Why are you really here?" Derik got impatient first and spoke out.

In response, Demos only nodded before turning his attention to the empty space west of their location.

Death magic: Black lash!

"You never change" Demos sneered and quickly threw his palms open a rope shaped aura construct shut out of his hands, shooting towards an empty spot ahead.

"Always hasty… You never change" A familiar voice echoed as a semi transculent golden wall appeared, preventing the darkish purple aura rope from passing through.

Behind the golden wall, an angelic figure over three-meter tall being with a pair of golden angel wings and well proportioned muscles appeared. His hair was golden and his eyes were like the dark skies harboring countless twinkling stars that could charm any heart. The angelic being wore an expensive golden mage robe with a divine fiery weapon hanging gallantly on his back. 

"You talk too much!" Demos roared.

Instantly twenty more darkish purple aura ropes shot out of his hand and circled around the golden wall, trying to reach the fallen archangel. In response, Samael shot Demos a worm smile before clapping both hands together, summoning five more golden walls around himself forming a perfect defensive shell to protect him from all sides.

"You must have gotten cocky!" Demos was infuriated by Samael's attitude in battle.

Death magic: Death spear!

Demos aura exploded from his body and quickly gathered over his head. His eyes released a terrifying purple light as his aura took the shape of a two meter long spear.

"Shatter apart!" Demos roared while flinging his hand forward, sending the death spear forward.

BOOOM!

Upon collusion, the shockwave was powerful enough to send Derik, Kaido, and Cyrus crashing into the endless seas below, but even then, Demos didn't even spare them a glance. Instead, he focused on his death spear, which created countless web-like cracks on the golden cube

Bang!

The cube crumbled under Demos power and the death spear proceeded to attack Samael directly. 

"Same as always" Samael yawned as he reached for the death spear with his bare hands, grabbing it hastily.

BOOM!

Under everyone's watchful eyes Samael shattered the golden spear effortlessly.

"You don't wish to hear me out before attacking? Is this how you treat an old friend?" Samael shot Demos a warm smile once again, not showing any intentions of attacking or leaving.

Swoosh!!!

Hello… Goodbye!"

Before Demos cold react, Derik who was now in his human form, appeared right in front of the former archangel, alongside Derik was Cyrus.

"Split the skies… Shatter the heavens!!!" Cyrus screamed and a massive golden divine sword appeared above Samael's head, swinging down at him viciously while letting out a loud screech.

Meanwhile, Derik quickly summoned his death scythe into his hands and poured in as much manner as he could into the weapon. Soon the magic weapon felt extremely hot in his hands to the extent that he felt his flesh melting and his blood boiling.

"Death magic: Threefold purgatory slash… Alpha!"

With a loud roar, Derik slashed released all the power at once, slashing from the side while Cyrus guardian broadsword struck down at the fallen archangel from above.

"Interesting... But not good enough" Samael chuckled as he raised his left hand above his head and stopped the guardian weapon which the size of a small mountain with just his brute strength.

Boom!

A powerful wave of death aura, released by Derik smashed into the fallen archangel from the side but was only strong enough to make Samael frown slightly.

"Weak!"

The fallen archangel caught the purgatory slash with his bare hands and forcibly pushed it away, sending Derik flying back.

"And you... You shouldn't use such delicate techniques on stronger opponents" Samael's eyes let out a golden glow and with his bare hands, he instantly shattered the guardian weapon.

Puff!

Cyrus turned terribly pale, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood before falling off the skies like a log of wood.

Swoosh!

Kaido dived in and caught the falling life mage in his hands, only to see the fallen archangel standing right in front of him.

"Who said you can save him?" Samael smiled warmly at Kaido but the later felt terrified instead of joyful.

The countless stars in his eyes let out a bright light, releasing a powerful golden beam of energy but before it could manifest, Samael felt two strong fists smash into his face, sending him flying meters away.
