Legendary Guardian - Volume 3 Chapter 371 371
Bam!
The next moment all the violent aura surrounding the youth vanished and all the strength bubbling in Blake’s body failed him, forcing him to struggle greatly just to stay afloat.
“Krrrrrrrhhhh!”
Blake hissed, already coated with sweat and barely able to sustain his flight technique. His eyes were bloodshot and no matter how much he tried he could not summon his aura.
“What the hell is this?” Blake roared while gasping for air.
“Silence” Derik frowned getting a bit impatient.
“Leadership qualities are not something you possess little Blake I have seen you all, watched the five of you grow, and even tutored all five of you in the past. Do you think I never considered handing over this sect to you? But in the end, you just lack what is needed to become the palace master Based on strength and accomplishments as well, you, my friend are quite inferior to Blake here, who fought against the empire’s strong three hundred thousand armies even with his bronze realm cultivation base This kid you keep looking down at, saved your life and the life of the other four! So I suggest you show some respect and be grateful!” Derik’s aura went wild while saying the last part.
Instantly an invisible force descended on Blake, dragging him off the air, all the way to the ground before slamming him violently. The collision forced some dust to rise and after it had settled down, Blake could be seen on his knees, struggling but he couldn’t stand. The murderous intentions in his eyes had faded, replaced with fear!
All his life, he had seen Derik do so many cruel things but none of them has ever been directed towards them so he really couldn’t tell how terrifying Derik is until today. His instincts kept screaming at the top of its voice, and at this moment, Blake knew one more mistake would cost him his life.
“He won’t hesitate to kill me” Blake muttered in fear.
Meanwhile, Jean, Andrew, Philip, and Dimitris were terrified, they had never seen Derik like this. They too may have not fully accepted Derik’s decision in making Blink his successor but they didn’t get the chance to voice out their thoughts first. They felt lucky, Blake was the first to act and even know they couldn’t even look Derik in the face.
“Blink faced off against the orcs even before going through the awakening process He fought in the war that threatened to destroy this sect while I was away He faced a silver realm paladin and won! Even though his cultivation base was at the bronze realm! A paladin which required all five of my disciples to defeat and even in victory they were all put in life-threatening conditions all five of you were at the silver realm back then and you still lost But Blink could pull this off with a lower cultivation base and all alone Even I felt ashamed when I realized a child was fighting my battle You all should feel ashamed as well. And finally, while you all were here, chilling and having the time of your life Blink was at the enemy stronghold fighting for your survival! Who dares challenge my claims! Speak up now so that I can give you a swift death!” Derik roared causing darkish green clouds gathered above them and take the shape of a skull.
Derik was annoyed!
His aura suppression on Blake doubles, forcing Blake to fall on his face while digging even deeper into the ground.
“I will make you strong. Strong enough to protect everything I own!Strong enough to protect everything I care about!” Derik’s eyes were like bottomless pits when gazing at Blink in the eye.
After saying this, he turned his attention to the other sect members, waiting to see who would come up and challenge his decision but after a minute of silence, it seemed no one dared to speak up.
“Good As for the five of you” Derik turned his attention to Dimitris and the others, but this time the anger boiling in his heart was gone, the aura suppression on Blake was gone too but that didn’t stop these people from feeling afraid.
“Just like I had my three demon commanders You five will become the five demon commanders, you will only answer to Blink” Derik said.
With that done, Derik didn’t even wait for anyone to reply, he simply vanished alongside Blink, his undead generals, and his three demon commanders, leaving a crowd of terrified and astonished people behind.
……………..
Making his way into his dark underground chamber with Kira, Kin, Kuen, his undead commanders, and Blink, Derik was informed of an unexpected visitor. Even though he could literarily smell her, he just refused to speak to her since they have never been on good terms for a while now.
“Wait here,” Derik said as he walked into his personal cultivation chamber only to meet the former elf representative standing alone in the dark room.
Even though it was dark, he could see her clearly, starting from her long smooth blond hair and smooth light-colored skin. Elsa wore a tight-fitting green gown which revealed her curves and large bouncy chests.
“You were the last person I expected to meet here” Derik snapped his fingers and green flames escaped from his body lighting all the torches in the room.
Waving his hand, he was consumed by a pillar of green flames and it dispersed, Derik’s black sleeveless mage attire was gone. He was currently putting on black trousers and no shirt. His blazing green eyes were like piercing daggers, stabbing into Elsa’s soul.
At first, Elsa felt Derik was charmed by her beauty but when she got to look at it even closer, she realized those eyes were dead, void of any emotion. She had taken her time to prepare for this meeting, hoping to arouse some old feelings Derik had once nurtured for her but after what she just saw. It became clear to her that Derik felt nothing.
