Chapter 208: We meet again!

Xiu!

Lucien appeared some distance away from the stronghold and what he saw left him shivering. It was an army attacking the stronghold! What left him stunned was that the army was made up of undead skeletons, undead magic beasts, werewolves, and even an emperor-level magic beast! All of these were part of the undead army!

"It can't be…" Lucien muttered as he took a few steps back and silently prayed his instincts are wrong.

He knew this diabolic aura and the last time he came in contact with the owner of this aura, he almost lost his life and the emperor ended up dying at the hands of that man! How could he still be alive? He watched the phoenix flames reduce his body to ashes!

"Derik Angus!" Lucien muttered with a trembling fist and enraged expression on his face.

"You still call that name without care? You must be seeking death!" A familiar voice echoed behind him and when he turned around he was stunned.

Derik Angus seemed much younger than before and the face wasn't entirely his boy Lucien could clearly see the resemblance! Based on Lucien's strong sensory skills, he could tell Derik was at the early stage of the mortal realm but the power swirling up within him far surpasses that of a mortal realm mage!

He wore a black sleeveless robe revealing his fairly muscular build. His hood was kept down, allowing people to see his black hair tied into a ponytail with a green undercut. Gazing at this figure, Lucien trembled with fear and excitement as well! He was scared of the enemy in front of him but he also has the chance to avenge Emperor Fei now!

"The emperor of the Fotia empire graces the battlefield with his presence… Unexpected! I represent the Libet empire and since we have a common foe, I suggest you behave until this is all over!" Derik said with a slight smile on his face!

Lucien wanted to move but just like him, a young lady was standing with a transmission crystal meaning that the Libet empire is watching. Lucien knew the importance of forming a strong alliance with the neighboring empires If they wish to survive the invasion was about to happen so he couldn't act against Derik. What he couldn't understand is why Derik was different and how he managed to join the Libet empire!

"I will have to request your help in taking down this stronghold! These people are quite capable" Derik said with a slight smile on his face.

His gaze shifted from Lucien to the battlefield where Hus undead army was getting decimated by the magic torrents! Only the emperor tier wind beast was dealing substantial damage on the stronghold!

"Raiken?" Lucien was stunned by the big winged beast and soon realized this was the emperor tier form to the Raizen god beast! If Derik actually managed to kill this, then his chances of winning against Derik are extremely low.

"why would I help you?" Lucien asked as he calmed down and gazed at the battlefield.

"Because you can't win against me" Derik answered immediately without a second thought, making Lucien's eyebrows twitch.

He really wanted to crush this bastard who dared say such crap to him but right now there are more important things to deal with. As long he knew Derik was alive and stays in the Libet empire then he can have his revenge when this is over.

"Stay away... you will only get in my way if you get involved" Lucien said to Emma before shooting towards the enemy stronghold.

"You too, Kylie" Derik said to the woman in a complete black ninja attire with half of her face covered.

Xiu!

Bright silver and Darkish green lights could be seen heading towards the stronghold and two magic towers instant locked down on them!

Whoosh!

As the energy beam was fired, both men shot towards the sides escaping the attack as they reacted with attacks of their own!

"Azure dragon style: Whirlpool!" Derik growled as he struck forward releasing a whirlpool of blue flames surging forward!

"Break!" Derik growled as he brandished his death scythe towards the tower releasing a massive arc of darkish green aura!

Peng!

Peng!

To their greatest surprise, both their attacks only struck a mana barrier surrounding the towers! This mana barrier was strong enough to withstand their attacks and since mana does not age, it wasn't affected by Deriks death aura!

Bam!

The mana beams shot towards the two youths in retaliation, not even giving them time to flee!

Boom!

People from both empires watched as their representatives were dragged to the ground by the beams from the magic towers, creating a five-meter-deep crater to each!

"Kill me with this? You must be dreaming!" Lucien growled!

"This is nothing!" Derik's voice echoed across the entire battlefield.

Bang!

Bang!

Two powerful explosions occurred as two figures shot into the skies once again. While Derik was covered in a white bone knight's armor, Lucien's body was covered with thick blue dragon scales! Both theirs were blazing with power as they grabbed the air and pulled down furiously!

Krrrrr!

Following a powerful lightning strike, a massive bone fist and a massive dragon fist descended from above the clouds, like the divine judgment of the gods! The massive hands crushed the two towers effortlessly, getting the attention of the other towers holding back the undead army below.

"Leave... I will deal with the city defenses... Just make sure you stop the creed forces within the dungeon!" Lucien said as he slowly levitated towards the remaining magic towers facing in his direction.

"Don't be stupid... What if I go down there and there are two creed pillars down there? We move together" Derik yawned as he spoke. He looked more uninterested than bothered.

[Remaining calm in a situation like this is a privilege reserved for the strong...] Rakuzen said and Lucien nodded.

He could remember when emperor Fei said those words and how cool-headed he was even when he got wind of the coup about to happen. With more power, one had to worry about fewer things.

"Alright, just this once, I will help you" Lucien said while stretching.
