Legendary Guardian - Volume 4 Chapter 399 399

Gazing at his pale and tiny hands, Derik was sure the strange illness which took the life of the youth was gone but he still felt weak in spirit.

“This world is stuffy” Derik muttered as he tried to pull the mana in the atmosphere but there was none within!

A world without any concrete source of mana is a nightmare for all mages. Even someone like Derik who had once reached the god realm was terrified of this, especially since his soul was already damage and unlike the past when he was at his peak, he was barely worthy to be called a mage here.

Bam!

Another piercing pain assaulted Derik’s head causing him to fall on the ground once again as countless images flashed across his eyes all in an instant. This time it wasn’t the memories of his past life but of that of this world.

Lucia Alexis is the second son of the Alexis family main branch, a big time noble family in the kingdom of Kedus which was just a level five kingdom in the Pelgas empire. Lucia was born with extraordinary talent and brilliance which made him excel in all aspects of his education, but he was born with a weak body. As time passed on, the strange disease plaguing him intensified, preventing him from attending classes like others his age. His parents hired a private tutor but soon he also got even weaker and couldn’t stay conscious for long hours.

His elder brother, Chole was quite different. He lacked Lucia’s brilliance but he made up for it with his combat skill and strength. At a young age, Chole had joined the military and after a few years of service, he has ordained a knight of the Kedus royal family, successfully becoming one of the three great knights of Kedus, only inferior to the royal imperial army.

The reason the Alexis family has grown so fast and well was solely due to Chole’s efforts and for that reason, he was already declared the family’s successor. Lucia’s sister, Alicia at this point could be considered the black sheep of the family. She excelled at nothing and her grades in education have always been poor and all her focus was pinned on parties, social events, and wooing of noblemen. At this point, the family was just looking for a way to marry her off.

“What a normal family” Derik frowned. “Too normal for my liking” He added as he took off his white garment, revealing his emaciated body.

He could feel his body recovering but very slowly due to his werewolf side but even that was greatly suppressed here. Gazing at the mirror, Derik felt a bit disgusted by his appearance and began devising plans on how to improve himself.

After spending almost half a century in his previous life and reaching the realm of a true god, Derik’s pride would not let him settle down and become a mere scholar.

Not in this life and not in the next!

“This may be a wild guess but I believe this is still my world this should still be the god vein the question now is, where did all the mana go and why did humans become so feeble” Derik muttered to himself.

Deep down he knew this was still the same world he was born in. He did not transmigrate or anything, he just simply reincarnated thanks to his god soul wandering around, looking for a suitable host or something, even he wasn’t too sure since his memories were messed up.

Woosh!

Opening up his palm, Derik created a very small whirlpool of pure darkish purple aura which could only last a few seconds before vanishing. At his current condition, he can barely maintain his magic, and even his death magic which was darkish green in color while at its peak phase was just darkish purple now.

This is the beginning phase, the fake form of his death magic!

“If I am alive, does that mean, Cyrus, Francis, and the rest reincarnated as well?” Derik muttered once again while he kept checking out his body in the mirror right in front of him.

“It doesn’t really matter since they won’t be able to get to me, considering my condition. I refuse to believe they are living much better than me anyway, that’s a minor issue my main focus right now should be finding a way to replenish my mana before I begin my search for my god essence scattered all over this world with this level of suppression I can even be killed by a child! I have to train this body properly” Derik said with a frown on his face.

Only after speaking did he notice the figure standing at the door, blankly staring at him in shock. Her long black hair was decorated with roses and her fair and tender skin complimented her beautiful face. Her chest was only average but in Derik’s opinion, it was a perfect size, nothing too excessive or too little. Even he couldn’t help but appreciate the lady’s beauty from the mirror and for the first time probably all through his life, he felt his body screaming and crying, asking him to claim this woman for himself. Without his cultivation base, Derik was no different from any normal man even someone like him who was once a true god had to put in some effort just to take his eyes of the lady in the mirror.

“Alicia, why are you here” Derik’s face was void of any emotions as he slowly picked up his garment and put it on.

He could understand why Alicia was yet to respond, still standing there with her jaws dropped wide open and her eyes staring blanking at Derik. Not only was he supposed to be dead by now according to the physicians but even if he was meant to survive, he should at least be in a coma. Yet a youth who has been bedridden for decades was standing firmly right in front of her, stack n.a.k.e.d.

At this point, she sincerely didn’t know what was more shocking!
