Chapter 380 - 380: Don’t call my name in vain

"Vanish!" Kalos roared as the spear shot out of the spatial gate, slamming into Cyrus who was still hidden within the golden angelic wings.

"Grr!" Cyrus couldn't help but struggle to defend against this attack. His body quivered as numerous web like cracks appeared on the angelic wings made of golden aura.

Bang!

"KALOS!" Cyrus screamed like a crazed man as the spear which was ten times his size smashed into him, dragging him all the way to the ground before pinning him there.

The shockwave from the attack destroyed countless buildings around, leveling even the tree and vegetation around. Even with Cyrus supposedly defeated, Kalos wasted no time in creating a second spatial gate which quickly pulled in Diana, Francis, and Ahika! As long as these there could get to Derik alive, their job will be done.

"What now?" Gin said with a complicated look as he stared at the massive golden spear pinning Cyrus down. The life aura this weapon possessed will definitely erase them if they get hit by this.

"We hold Cyrus here until master Derik is done and requests we return" the massive golden buddha deity spoke lightly but his voice was still like countless roaring thunders gracing the skies.

"Yea… We have no other choice but to pin him down here with the best of our abilities…" Kalos nodded in agreement.

"Pin me down?" Cyrus's voice suddenly rang in their ears causing them to panic.

"Think about it, do you three think you can pin Derik down with this level of strength?" Cyrus asked

Hearing his question, the three of them shuddered in fear! Even without saying anything else, they already understood what Cyrus was trying to say. In terms of strength, Derik and Cyrus are equal as far as they are concerned. Pondering on Cyrus's words, these three realized that even if they are given a power boost, they won't be able to suppress Derik. 

If they can't stop Derik how are they supposed to stop Cyrus who possessed the element they are weak against?

"I hate it when I'm looked down upon… not only did you send my own spell back at me, hoping it will harm me but you also entertained the thought of suppressing me… Don't you think I deserve as much respect as what Derik receives? Or do you all look down at me because I have always been calm all this while, preserving my strength for my enemies alone? Very well then, all that is about to change! Even if you are Derik's undead commanders, I will erase you all from this world!" Cyrus voiced carried emotions.

The massive golden spear shattered instantly and a figure with two pairs of golden wings slowly rose to the skies. His hair and white robes were tattered and his blazing golden eyes were like a pair of scorching sun's looking down at lesser beings.

"Vanish? That's the word you use earlier, dear Kalos… Let me show you the power you can never hope to achieve even in another life!" Cyrus roared as he raised his right hand above his head and his guardian divine broadsword appeared above his head.

"Shatter the skies, split the heavens!" Cyrus roared as the guardian weapon doubled in size and the divine aura diffusing from it thickened as well.

While all this happened the three undead commanders couldn't flee or attempt to counter. They were been suppressed by Cyrus's overbearing life aura, leaving them vulnerable to Cyrus's attack.

"Die!" Cyrus roared as he threw his hand down!

Bam!

Cyrus suddenly felt a strong grip on his shoulder and before he could even react, a massive death scythe coated in darkish green aura appeared from nowhere, deflecting the divine golden broadsword.

"You have been using my name so recklessly today… have you forgotten who I am? Cyrus? I am death! Don't call my name in vain and no one is allowed to lay their hands on my subordinates!" Derik's voice echoed in Cyrus's ears causing him to tremble in fear.

"You!"

Suddenly Cyrus felt Derik's death aura invade his body, spreading as fast as a plague!

BOOM!

Cyrus's life aura suddenly exploded, knocking Derik away while dispelling all the death aura that invaded his body.

"Well, well, well… This will not go as easy as I expected" Derik complained as he retreated a bit farther, only stopping when he was standing next to his undead commanders.

"How are you guys doing?" Derik said with a charming smile stunning his undead commanders alongside Cyrus.

Was he planning to act as none of this happened?

"You shouldn't have stepped in! I was just about to unleash my secret weapon!" Gin quickly played along, patting his chest while he spoke shamelessly.

This act alone left the others even more stunned than before. They just couldn't understand why Derik would suddenly lose focus and goof around now.

"I apologize then, Gin… I should have had more faith in you" Derik laughed with his eyes closed while running his hands through his black flowing hair.

"Mhmm!" Gin nodded as a sign that he accepted Derik's apology. "Just make sure this doesn't repeat itself next time… But since you are here, I'll let you handle things now!" Gin said not minding the reaction of those around him. 

Only Derik laughed at this since he and Gin had been really close before their team disbanded. Back then when he just awakened his death magic and the others rejected him, only Gin and Kira remained by his side. The three of them went through tough times together! These are memories that cannot be replaced easily.

"Derik! Don't you dare ignore me after all that has happened so far! You owe me an explanation!" Cyrus roared as the gigantic divine broadsword suddenly shrank in size and suddenly fell into his hands.

True death magic: Bone armor!

Derik's body was soon covered by shiny skeletal armor and within his helmet were a pair of darkish green blazing eyes. The death scythe also shrank and fell into his hands.

���I will say this only once Cyrus… You are like a brother to me, but if you dare try to harm those who I have chosen to protect… I won't hesitate to cut you down!"
