Chapter 222: Understanding

The massive Ooni demon gazed at the werewolf with uncertainty in its glowing red eyes. The absolute confidence oozing out of Derik is something he is used to having while others remain restless but right now he was the one experiencing it and he didn't find it pleasant!

He felt like Derik was toying with his mind by not even attacking and even though his grip on the bloodied mace was hard, he still couldn't find the strength to lift his weapon against Derik! Something was telling him that if he attacked now, he will lose!

What was even more shocking was that his senses were screaming out in fear! Every part of this body was terrified of Derik and reluctant to make a move, leading him to believe that Derik was using somewhat of mind torture technique to subdue him but in reality, Derik wasn't doing anything.

"Get inside there, kid... Consume your inheritance... Make it yours and you will be sent out... For now, I will deal with this little problem alone" The massive green wolf said with an indifferent look on its face.

"This..."

Hearing this Lucien was stunned by Derik's gesture of kindness and didn't know how to react immediately. He gazed at the massive werewolf, loss of words, and didn't know what to say.

[Getting involved in this level of fight will only make you a hindrance... He is also doing himself a favor... By the way, you have already seen the paintings and what Derik hopes to fight against... He chose the path of protecting the realm from the celestial beings that believe we are their playthings... I once tried to fight them alone and lost... But with both of you, there is a chance of victory! A chance of suppressing all the supreme forces that think they can just play with our lives and get away with it! Don't waste this opportunity!] Rakuzen said and Lucien finally understood why Derik didn't kill him back then.

Derik had come to this world to consume the soul of a celestial being, Rakuzen, use that power to push himself into breaking through into the celestial realm. As the peak existence of his world, he knew about the existence of the celestial beings and no matter how it looked, Derik found it infuriating. After coming in contact with him and Rakuzen, the old god had a change of heart and decided to let them live. It wouldn't hurt to have a capable ally by his side in this lonely journey!

"Go on kid... This will be over before you know it" Derik said again but this time he didn't bother looking at Lucien. He kept walking towards the huge demon kin.

"Get in a good punch for me!" Lucien said after a few moments of silence and charged towards the open gate of the core! Upon arrival, the bone wall blocking the path split open and Lucien dashed in!

"AND WHO SAID YOU CAN LEAVE?!!" The Creed leader growled as his massive body vanished crossing the gap between them and the gate in a single breath!

It raised its iron black mace and it quickly it up with red flames as he struck down at Lucien!.

ROAR!!!

Following the loud cry, a massive figure appeared beside the ooni demon and struck it from the side, sending it crashing into the crystal wall by the side.

" I don't remember saying you can leave either" Derik said calmly as he gazed at the fallen demon kin with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Seeing this Lucien was reassured and ran into the portal while wondering how Derik was able to bypass this beast's ability to see the future.

"You...." The creed leader muttered as he struggled to get on his feet. He gazed at Derik as if he was some sort of monster and his fearful emotions acted as a source of energy, strengthening the death god even more.

"How is it possible? How can I not see your future?" The creed leader cried out in fear and Derik revealed a wide grin in response.

"All this while you have been fighting me with the suppression of the god vein placed on this body... But in here, there is no suppression... You want to see the future of a true god? Laughable fool... You are nothing!" Derik said as he dashed towards the enemy once again!

Whoosh!

"Die!" The Creed leader growled at the top of his lungs as he struck forward with the black iron mace engulfed in red flame but Derik was gone.

Bang!

The massive green wolf could be seen standing on the ceiling above the creed leader before propelling himself down while engulfing his body in darkish green flames!

"DIE!" The creed leader growled like a wounded beast as he engulfed his body with bright red flames and struck upward!

BOOM!!!

Following a powerful shockwave, red and green aura flew around carelessly! The seemingly unbreakable crystal walls and the ground suddenly began to crack as the massive ooni demon felt its leg bones shiver and crack under the pressure!

Whoosh!

Boom!

At the last moment, it jumped out of the way with much effort, allowing Derik to crush its metal mace with ease and create a one-meter-deep crater below, causing it to frown!

It can't control its future!

It can't see its future!

It can't beat it in free and fair combat!

At this moment it realized the difference between it and Derik was 1ike heaven and earth! The skill level and talent were just too far apart! Not to talk about magic!

"I REFUSE TO BELIEVE I AM INFERIOR!!!" The creed leader growled as it clasped its hands together and when he slowly released it a massive ring slowly formed, taking the shape of a demonic gate.

While the gate was getting summoned, Derik returned to his human form bug he was much older than he looked before. He had returned to his original form when he fought the Phoenix emperor. He looked much older, like a man in his early twenties!

He was back to his peak condition in this world! No different from a peak gold realm master in his old world!
