Chapter 421 - 421: Faith!

With faces filled with worry, King Jules and the entire noble family heads of the kingdom gathered at the sacred chambers dedicated to their new god. Images of the guard who dared to touch the steel doors of this room and was reduced to ash were still very fresh in their heads and at this moment, they didn't know what next to do. 

Even though they knew disturbing Derik may mean death, they also knew that not doing anything meant death for them as well. They have put their entire faith in Derik and this is the time for him to prove to them that he is truly the god of death and destruction.

"Lucia…" Alfred called out slowly.

After the entire event and the mass murder of countless members of the kingdom's noble families, Derik's attitude towards the Alexis family had not yet changed. While Alfred thought Derik would lock them up or kill them all or even put them under home arrest but he never did such things, neither did he look for ways of holding them down. His attitude towards them has always remained the same as it was even before they found out his secret, he treated them a lot better than other nobles.

"You already know Lucia is gone… I prefer you address me by my real name" Derik's voice echoed from within the room, leaving everyone shocked.

On multiple occasions, the king had tried to call him out from a distance but Derik never responded but it took Alexis just a word to make him reply. These people couldn't help but envy the relationship between the Alexis family and their god of death and destruction.

"okay… Derik, we need your help, the…." Alfred was trying to speak but Derik cut him off.

"They have joined hands against us and their forces are currently marching towards this kingdom…. I can hear you all even from this sealed room…" Derik said calmly.

The doors of the room yanked open and a man engulfed in a darkish purple aura walked out. Within the cl.u.s.ter of sinister aura were two bright darkish purple eyes and his voice sounded like that of a thousand people crying out for help. All the nobles present were terrified and even the king could barely stand on his feet, they all gazed at the cl.u.s.ter of sinister aura as if they were looking at death.

"Your lack of faith in me is quite annoying…" Derik said with furrowed eyebrows as his body forcefully pulled in the aura.

At this point, he was close to his original look, and Lucia's unique features were already gone. Anyone from the past who sees him now will definitely recognize him as Derik the angel of death! His black and purple hair has grown to the waist level and his psychical features were more profound now. He wasn't too muscular but he was still very muscular, he perfectly represented the word perfect.

"Are you really Derik?" King Jules asked fearfully since he didn't expect Derik to change so much. Derik could tell the other nobles the same questions so he had no reason to complain.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#!_52688523215555280">#!_52688523215555280</a> for visiting.

"Yes… the more strength I recover, the more I return to my old self" Derik explained slowly.

He was now at the mid-grade of the silver realm and his strength at this level could be considered high since he's dealing with powerless humans. He couldn't help but feel extremely lucky since he never expected he would still be able to access the underworld domain. After pondering on it, he found it reasonable since a domain is somewhere no one can invade unless they are invited in by the creator. No 4guardian spirits. Even in death, Demos was still so helpful to him, Derik began to miss having his annoying voice in his head. He felt truly lonely in this world.

"Gather only a thousand fighters and place them outside the gates of this Kingdom, leave the rest to me" Derik said calmly while turning around to return to the room.

"What do you plan to do?" Alfred asked the question on everyone's mind.

"What do I plan to do? You all worship the god of death and destruction… I will show the world that my people cannot and will not be harmed easily!" Derik's eyes let out a purple light as he spoke. 

Not waiting for them to ask any more questions, he drifted into the room like a ghost and shut the doors behind him. If only he can summon the passageway to his domain, he should be able to bring his undead army into this world. The souls of his allies who died at the hands of the dumb humans of this world were pulled into his domain as well.

"Blink, Kira, Elsa, I will see you all again… but first I need to get stronger… strong enough to destroy the beyond and make a safe place you can call home…" Derik muttered as he gazed at the sealed bone gate right in front of him.

Through his rough estimations, he will never be able to enter the demigod realm without regaining his godly essence… If he decides to keep cultivating this way, he will only reach the peak of the gold realm at most, and without reaching the demigod realm, he won't be able to have access to his realm, and if he should forcefully open the gates just a little bit, he will most likely end up hurting himself badly.

"I am seriously limited here…. It's really annoying" Derik said.

Clasping his hands together and stomping the ground with his feet, a smaller gate appeared and he walked in. The sky was red and the land was barren with countless cracks visible on it. The realm that was once the most feared place during Demos's time as the angel of death, meant almost nothing now. It looked abandoned and it seemed to be losing its power slowly.

[I guess this is what happens when the owner of the realm dies… slowly it keeps fading until there is nothing left] Derik lamented in his heart.

He too has been gone for a long while and for that reason, he couldn't tell the condition of his realm and could only hope it wasn't too bad for the souls of all his friends and family he dragged into that place.

"I can't let the things you love vanish… I cant love the last thing you left behind crumble, Demos… For that reason, I will make this place mine!" Derik's eyes flared up with power, he let his aura surge into the domain without restrain!
