Legendary Guardian - Volume 4 Chapter 406 406

While murmurs filled the room, making it noisy and irritating, Chloe remained silent as he gazed at Lucia meaningfully. He has known Lucia from the beginning, he knew about his timid nature and his weak body. He remembered bullying Lucia when they were a bit younger, he could never forget the face of the kid who cried at any chance he got, never able to fight back.

Now that brother he once labeled useless has somehow survived death and now he is bold and strong. If these changes happened in a few years it would be understandable but only a week! Lucia required only a week to go from extremely weak to strong!

At this point, even Chloe was convinced that Lucia is dead and probably possessed by some sort of evil spirit. By the way, he has faced against supernatural beings in the past so he wasn’t an unbeliever. Chloe quickly threw Father Khalid a questioning glare but the latter only shook his head in reply.

“He’s perfectly fine we have done that already so you don’t have to worry about that he is your brother” Father Khalid said in a respectful tone.

Only after hearing this did Chloe calm down and look move his gaze back to Lucia who remained calm, probably lost in his thoughts. Guessing based on his disappointed gaze, it was obvious Lucia wasn’t satisfied with his level of strength. For someone who was considered real just a week ago to grow this fast, Chloe expected such a person to be excited to be closing in on him in terms of strength but yet Lucia looked unsatisfied and this pissed him off.

“My little brother has grown stronger overnight and yet he doesn’t look satisfied tell me, how did you become this strong” Chloe’s anger could be heard in his tone.

“Huh? Me?” Derik snapped out of his thoughts and turned his attention to Chloe. The look on his face showed he was slightly irritated by the fact that Chloe chose to disturb him while he was still pondering on his future here.

“I didn’t do anything special I only ate good food and worked out a bit my body healed on it’s own maybe I was destined to be this strong or even stronger we will find out soon” Derik said while moving towards the empty knight’s armor in the great hall. His vicious gaze was fixed on the sword and a sinister smile spread across his face but since he had his back turned on everyone, no one could see his expression.

“If that’s true then the Lord of Light must truly favor you, little brother Now you have acquired a good body and amazing strength, what do you plan on doing next do you wish to continue pursuing knowledge and become a scholar like you always have? Or would u prefer to join me in the army and experience what it means to knock at the doors of death!” Chloe said the last part with a wild grin on his face which scared everyone around him.

Even though everyone was uncomfortable with his words, they were also interested in hearing Lucia’s reply. It was only at this point did Alfred realize he has been planning Lucia’s future without making his intentions known to Lucia first. He knew if Lucia chooses to continue with his education there is nothing they can do about it but respect his wish and that was the reason he held his breath while gazing at Lucia’s back.

Wooosh!

A cool breeze shot across the room as Derik greedily feed off the negative emotions of everyone in the room. Hatred, envy, anger, insecurity, fear, all of it combined created the best environment Derik has ever experienced since he came to this world. Purple veins slowly popped up in different arts of his body as the air around him suddenly turned cold. He was some meters away from the others so they could barely notice the change, all they could tell was that Lucia had stopped moving and he was probably pondering on Chloe’s question.

{Too little, I have recovered some power but it’s just too little hahaha, at this level I am no different form what I use to be when I was still a recruit sad}

Images of Kira, Gin, Cyrus, Daemon and Donald flowed into his mind. He could remember their time in castle black outside the great walls of the Gyro kingdom. He could remember all their battles together and their fight against team Gyro’s Kuen who later became one of his most precious subordinates. He could remember Elsa, Gerald, Kin, Dimitris and the others who died believing in him. People who saw him as their God!

“In my past life I fought all through and had no time to appreciate what I had those I had around me and now I have lost it all Demos gave up his life just to make me what I am now Blink died protecting those I love for their sake I can’t rest now I have to fight I will create a new world a new world where there is no more death! A new world where I make the rules a world with no betrayal no hate no wars no sorrow” Derik said in an ancient language that these people couldn’t understand.

They only watched him take away the sword from the knight’s armor and the way he held on to it, they could all tell he had no knowledge of swordplay. In his previous life, Derik barely used weapons and when he did, it was either his bone spear or his death scythe. Never for once has he thought about using a sword as a weapon.

“You don’t have to worry about my proficiency with this weapon all I want now is a duel” Derik said nonchalantly as he tossed the sword into the air and caught it again by the hilt.Find authorized novels in
