35 Chapter 35: Seriously?!

Name:Legendary Guardian Author:Riviz
BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

The sound of attacks colliding with the bone wall could be heard even from over five hundred meters away. Even though their travel speed was slow, the wall which Derik summoned kept the trolls busy. To be honest, these recruits didn't expect the trolls to completely focus on the bone wall, but after thinking about it they could understand why the trolls acted that way. The wall radiated evil aura which was located at the territory of these beasts, it's only natural for these monsters to prioritize destroying the structure to chasing after wounded invaders.

"I'm sorry… I really messed up" Gin muttered, his skin was pale and his body occasionally shuddered, the enchantment class recruit was already at his limit and could only move due to the support of Derik and Kira. If they decided to leave him behind, they probably would have gone farther by now.

"Your pride was on the line… you have no reason to apologize" Derik said indifferently. Kira nodded in agreement as well, if the situation was reversed he probably would have done the same thing. A monster looking down on a human, what insult

"The bone wall has reached its limit… they will breakthrough soon" Derik said while he looked at the direction where they came from. His pitch-black eyes remained fixed on that path for a while before he looked away. At this point, his eyes returned to normal and the dreadful aura which has been suffocating Gin and Kira vanished instantly.

"How can you remove all traces of your power in an instant? You must be relying on an item… am I correct?" Gin asked. He hasn't thought about this fact up until now.

"Yea… a talisman I put on… it blocks out my power and the magic spirit… it's like placing a wall in between the magic spirit and myself" Derik explained how he felt honestly.

"I can understand why you make use of that talisman, your magic is inhumane… it's only natural for your magic spirit to be a problem but from what you said earlier it seems the talisman only suppresses the power… I'm sure the sorcerer warned you against using the power till when necessary… Am I correct?" Gin asked

"well… yeah… he did warn me… he asked me to use it absolutely when I have no choice but he never told me why…" Derik answered "Why are you suddenly asking too many questions," He asked

"How do I explain this… okay… Just the same way clothes get worn out after excess use, that same way the talisman will slowly lose its power the more you use that power of yours…just like you said, it feels like a wall is used to separate you and your magic spirit. But when you draw power from the very being the talisman is meant to suppress what do you think happens, it's just like creating a small hole on the wall… if you continue to use this power, the hole on the wall will only widen further… sooner or later that wall will crumble" Gin explained. As a member of the enchantment class, he was very familiar with the way talisman's work.

"What?!..." Derik screamed in shock. He felt like the mysterious hooded man in his vision was standing behind him a sinister smile on his face. All this time he has been destroying the only thing that kept him safe from the mysterious hooded man in his vision

"This…"Derik muttered

"There should be a way to counter this right? We can prevent this apocalypse from taking place… am I correct?"Kira asked. After listening to Gin's explanation Kira understood one thing, Derik hasn't been holding back, the increase in power which he displayed with his bone spear attack was because the talisman which hung on his neck was losing its power, so its only natural he can pull more power

"Seriously… I'm only sixteen so my knowledge on this is quite limited… well you can simply reinforce the magic that sealed Derik's power or hope that Derik finds a way to control it" Gin responded

"Reinforce the magic?... you're from the enchantment class… you can do that right?" Derik anxiously asked. Gin revealed a weak yet charming smile on his face when he heard Derik's question

"Yes and no… yes, I am a member of the enchantment class and no, I cannot reinforce another mage's magic… I don't even know the spell he used…" Gin said







The team chatted amongst themselves while they moved, they quickly pushed away from the disturbing topic and spoke on their performances during the battle. After the very long review, they realized that Kira's performance was the poorest, his troll was the only one left unscathed in the battle and he was the first to fall as well, shifting his on part of the work to Derik. Just maybe, if he held on a little longer, Derik would have killed the injured stone troll. After walking for more than an hour they a suitable campsite within the forest, they gathered wood for the fire since it was already getting late.

"So we ran west of the stone shelter… meaning castle black is just south-east of here and the stone shelter is just east…" Derik said staring at the compass in his hand. His gaze shifted to Gin he brought out three packs of cookies and three bottles of water since normal food can easily get spoilt during a journey, especially during quests that last weeks or months, so it's more advisable to take these snacks along.

"Okay… lets review…Derik's troll has a deep wound on its chest… My troll is probably screaming in pain due to the after-effects of my magic weapons attack, even though the wound is not as deep as that of Derik… the residual energy in its body should weaken it considerably" Gin said as he threw a cookie into his mouth

"And then there is the big boss of the pack… capable of tossing the great death mage over twenty meters high in the air with a single punch" Kira laughed

"How ironic… the person speaking got knocked out by a single punch…" Gin retorted

"Hey!... Come on man, this is between Derik and me stay out of it" Kira screamed. While they argued Derik wore a grim expression as he stared into the woods, his pitch-black Iris turned blue as he stared into the forest, his blue iris burned fiercely and he bit his lips in anger

"Seriously?!" Derik muttered. His eyes reverted to its normal black color and he shifted his gaze to the blood mage and enchanter who has been staring at his for a while

"What's wrong?" Gin asked

"Its coming" Derik responded indifferently

"How many?" Kira asked

"Just one… my guess is the other two are too injured to join the hunt." Derik said.

The other two nodded I agreement, they didn't doubt Derik in any way after considering his previous records and achievements, they won't be surprised now if someone told them that Derik's perception skills were also superb.

"His perception is that good?... Damn… life is so unfair" Gin said

"Says the kid who was gifted with a complete set of magic weapons and armors" Derik retorted

"If I had these abilities you possess… I probably won't need these pieces of equipment" Gin quickly responded

Bam!

Gin grabbed the back of his head in pain and shifted his gaze Kira

"AAAhhh!!!... what was that for?" Gin asked

"Focus" Kira simply responded. He then shifted his gaze to Derik "How many meters away" He asked

"I can't tell" Derik responded

"How long before it arrives…." Kira asked again

"Not too long…" Derik responded "I suggest you leave this place with Gin… since it's just one I may be able to kill it… you guys will only get in my way" Derik said

"No…" Kira shook his head repeatedly "You were only able to deal that much damage because these beasts were not expecting you to wield that kind of power… this time you may not get so lucky" Kira said

"Just leave!!!" Derik growled. In an instant, his eyes turned black and the aura around him suddenly changed, his cold gaze fell on Kira who frowned slightly in response.

"I'm inferior to no one… a mere beast definitely cannot compare" Derik said

"Ooo power of death, grant thy servant thy power and lend thee thy strength... Give me the power to vanquish all those who stand against thy power of death and by the end of this day, thy heads shall hang on the tip of thy spear… Death magic: Bone spear!!!" Derik said, almost in an instant, a white bone spear shrouded in black mist.

"Return to castle black… I will join you guys later" Derik said as he reached out for the spear and grabbed it. With his left hand, he took out the compass and threw it at Gin

"You know how to use it right?" Derik asked

"Yea" Gin responded

"Good… Now go…" Derik said, he glanced at his teammates for a brief moment and sighed. Seeing it's useless to try and convince Derik, Kira grabbed Gin

"let's go…" Kira said "We will leave Gin's backpack with you… you will need to regain your strength after this battle you can have all the cookies in it" Kira said

"Heeey!!!... beat the crap out of that beast for me," Gin said

"If its something you cant handle… return to castle black…. We will fight it there with the others" Kira added. They occasionally gazed at Derik's back while running into the forest, they could only curse their weakness and pray for his safe return.

"It's okay guys… Leave it to me" Derik said with a sincere smile on his face. Ever since he used this power in front of the others, the way they looked at him made him feel like an outsider. But now… knowing that two people out of a team of seven care is more than enough to put a smile on his face

"It won't take long" Derik muttered as he tightened his grip on the bone spear and waited for the enemy to appea
