Chapter 376 - 376: Undead commanders vs Hosts (1)

"I expected Derik to be the first to make an appearance but it seems I was wrong… who would have thought you would be the first to attack… But this is where it all ends… Cyrus!" Francis roared as he prepared his own technique.

Clasping his hands together a powerful wave of massive green and brownish vines shot out of the ground, speeding towards the four fake moons used to seal Cyrus.

"Nature magic: Thousand years binding seal!" Francis roared with bloodshot eyes.

Boom!

The vines quickly reached the four moons before wrapping themselves around the four moons, binding them together. During this time the lizard men not too far away watched how each massive vine bearing countless green runes slowly wrapped around the moon, placing magic seals on it. From the looks of it, it became clear that Diana and Francis never had any intentions of fighting Cyrus to the death since they already know it's a losing battle. So, they chose to wait until he lost his guard before they prepare the threefold sealing technique.

As for Ahika, he only agreed to help Francis and Diana as long as no one had to die. In its opinion, Cyrus is just as useful as the other two, for that reason, sealing Cyrus was only aimed at keeping him at bay until he calms down.

"Blazing blue fire magic: Blazing Furnace seal!" Ahika roared.

The next instant a powerful pillar of blazing blue flames erupted from below, engulfing the four fake moons and the earth vines but even then none of them were getting burnt.

"Seal!"

All three of them roared as their sealing techniques quickly released a powerful wave of their mixed aura before settling down.

.......................................................

Only after the blinding light from the colorful aura had settled down and there no movement within the three elemental seals did Francis, Ahika and Diana heave a sigh of relief. Honestly, utilizing such sealing techniques consumed so much mana and concentration, that's why they barely use such techniques unless extremely necessary. At this moment, these two barely had enough mana to repeat the same sealing techniques on Derik when he finally arrives.

"We need to rest and recover as much strength as we can before Derik arrives… Once we recover enough strength, we should be able to suppress the death mage as well" Francis said while panting heavily.

His face was slightly pale and his body was covered in sweat, just like the other two gold realm masters present today. In his opinion, even though Derik was slightly more terrifying than Cyrus, he was confident the three of them would be able to stop him if they joined hands. By the way, Derik was still at the peak grade of the gold realm, yet to enter the demigod realm.

"You are either pretty confident or just the dumbest person alive" Gin's voice rang from afar, stunning all three gold realm masters.

Looking towards the three elemental seals, Francis, Diana, and Ahika noticed Gin and Aldora gazing at them with overflowing hostility while Kalos studied the seal from a safe distance.

"To think they believed this thing can hold Derik or Cyrus… Stupid kids! Even I can break out of this if given enough time" Kalos shook his head in disappointment as he spoke.

The pressure these three exuded was enough to make Francis's scalp feel numb. This was a carefully thought plan which took two years to devise but even after that, who would have thought Derik would choose to rely on his undead commanders this time?

Taking on these three at their current condition will definitely be a very difficult task, especially since they had no one with light magic who could suppress the death magic. Another issue was the fact that these three undead commanders were at the gold realm as well. If anything should go wrong, they could even lose their lives or after the battle, after they manage to win against Derik's undead commanders. They are left exhausted and defenseless.

How do they plan to fight against Derik in such a condition?

"This was not part of the plan" Diana's pale face bore a hint of hopelessness as she gazed at the three undead commanders fearfully. The thoughts of fleeing the empire crept into her mind but this option wasn't what she could jump at.

Even if she fled, where will she go?

No part of the world was safe right now, all she can do now is struggle until her last breath.

Sensing the hostility emanating from all three of them, Gin couldn't help but chuckle. His usual sky blue aura had turned darkish green due to Derik's necromancy used on him. His darkish green eyes lit up as he summoned his trusty magic broad sword and his magic armor which had already turned darkish green as well.

"There is no need for violence… I sincerely hope you all come along with us to meet Derik… Remember, this is not a fight you can win… this is for your own good" Gin's voice revealed his eagerness to test his newfound powers in this necromancy state.

All this while, Gin had suffered from the drawbacks of using aura in its raw form, limiting his strength and fighting capabilities. Amongst the former members of the team guardian, Gin had always been outstanding, just like Cyrus and Kira, keeping up to Derik who had awakened his death magic at the time.

All this while, the enchanter class master had focused on strengthening his body and further expanding his limits, allowing him to handle more raw mana in battle and even though this worked, his progress has always been slow, making it difficult for him to keep up with others in terms of cultivation realm.

But now things are different! Gin could see the limitless aura flowing into him, thanks to his magic equipment. His body's limitations have been shattered thanks to necromancy and at this very moment, he felt like he could even overwhelm power gold realm masters like Ahika who is known for his destructive capabilities!
