Legendary Guardian - Volume 4 Chapter 402 402
In rage, Derik’s death aura consumed the world and set it ablaze! In one swoop, Derik managed to kill more than half of the population of the world, even without putting in any effort and Cyrus just stood there and watched. He too felt the pain and the urge to eradicate these ungrateful beings but he didn’t have the heart to commit genocide of this level but Derik didn’t care either way.
Derik was about to make his first conscious attempt to destroy all life when the world was suddenly engulfed by darkness and the great darkness descended into the planet.
“You!” Derik and Cyrus were already in an extremely foul mood so their previous fears were gone.
The two quickly assumed their godly forms, not caring about the disaster this will cause since godly beings should not be found in the realm of mere mortals.They once again faced off against the beyond in a battle that is still spoken of today by the so-called believers of the lord of light! This supreme god these people serve is the god slayer, the beyond, who single-handedly defeated the gods of death and life even when they joined forces.
……………………………………………..
“Huff!” Derik instantly sat up and only then did he realize he was drenched in sweat. His body felt a bit stiff but nothing out of the ordinary.
Rays of light piercing through the open window, reached his eyes, causing him to shield his eyes from the sun with his hand.
“Kaido” Derik muttered sadly as he remembered that the sun cosmic spirit host, a man he once called friend.
“Is something wrong?” Alfred’s voice rang in his ears and only then did he realize that the old man was sitting on a stool in his room, gazing at him with worried eyes.
“You don’t have to do this every morning. I already told you I am okay” Lucia slowly got down from his bed and took off his sleeping robes, not minding that the old man was still in the room.
Every morning, he would wake up to Alfred watching him sleep and waiting for him to wake up. He could tell the old man was worried he may never wake up and he honestly appreciated the man’s concern but seeing this happen every morning was quite annoying, even for someone as patient as him.
It has just been a few days since he took over this body. Back then this body was emaciated and weak but thanks to the rich delicacies prepared for him here and his werewolf side, actively trying to improve his body and return it to his peak condition, Derik had finally regained his strength once again.
At this point, he was no longer thin but just lean with well-proportioned muscles, complementing his extremely charming face. His god spirit kept influencing his appearance steadily, up to the point where he was even more attractive than most men. His lack of beards didn’t make him look less manly but even that had a special charm to it, making him quite dazzling, that even the male servants can’t help but stare whenever he walked past.
Has Lucia always been this good looking?
This was the question in everyone’s mind.
“I know, I know, but you keep waking up like this always suffering from nightmares all through the night if you want me to stop, then let me invite Khalid from the Church of light. let him take a look at you and dispel all foul spirits still lingering around you if you agree to this, I’ll definitely stop bothering you!” Alfred said with hopeful eyes as he gazed at Lucia’s almost perfect body.
He was used to seeing Derik undress every morning to check himself out in front of the mirror and he really couldn’t blame the kid. If he were blessed with such an amazing physique, he may never put on a shirt all through his life. Looking at Derik’s well-proportioned muscles and perfect light skin, even he couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous!
“Khalid, the family priest from the church of light? I remember him do what you must then as long as I don’t wake up every morning to meet you staring at me, I will be satisfied!” Derik said nonchalantly.
According to Lucia’s knowledge, supernatural beings still exist in this world but they are very few. The church of light was practically the same as the holy church back then in the Gyro Kingdom. They held crusades against anything related to the darkness, pure fanatics, and extremists.
The original owner of this body was a non-believer, who refused to believe these people have any divine power or accept the existence of supernatural beings like witches. He truly believed that every person, gruesomely murdered by these people were normal humans wrongly judged so his impression of this church was not really good. The teaching of the church of light always focused on their stories of the past as how the lord of light single-handedly defeated and murdered the warring gods who sort to destroy the entire universe with their conflict. According to their story, the god of death and creation stood against the lord of light in a final showdown, in this very world and lost. From the story alone, Derik could tell these stories were cooked up by the people who survived the incident, people who he failed to kill before his death!
As for Derik, he too never liked anything pertaining to religion since there are bound to be extremists and fanatics who take things too far. That too didn’t stop him from wanting to meet this church. He was curious to see just how capable the priests of this church are and if they actually have supernatural powers. As for Alfred who kept speaking of dispelling the demon hovering about him, he could only laugh at the man’s ignorance.
If this man knew that the being inhabiting the body of his dead son is the god of death spoken about in the church he would most likely faint due to fear.
“Let’s not give them any spoilers” Derik chuckled likely, he was sincerely eager to meet these priests!
