Legendary Guardian - Volume 4 Chapter 409 409

If they were battling the beyond at full strength, Derik and Cyrus wouldn’t stand a chance but thanks to the collaboration of the old gods and new gods, the beyond was injured badly, reducing its combat capabilities, even before it could face off against Derik and Cyrus. At this moment the beyond is not as terrifying as it uses to be and that’s why Derik and Cyrus dare face it alone.

In this weakened state the beyond is also forced to divide its strength even further just to stop Derik from consuming all living things in this world while fighting Cyrus as well. In such a situation, Derik believed that everything was playing out perfectly, and with the current condition the beyond is in, he should have enough time to break through into a higher realm and then assist Cyrus and finally vanquish this beast that claims to be the beginning of all life!

The battle between the beyond and Cyrus raged on for months while Derik struggled with the strange energy preventing him from consuming all life on this planet. In just three months, Derik had already consumed over half of the population of the world, reaching the peak level of the true god realm and threatening to breakthrough soon. Everything was going well and if given another month he was sure he would be able to reach that level which he is destined to reach.

At this point, his realm had evolved into something different, right now all he could see were stars, planets, space, all of it! He was practically creating a new universe, something unthinkable in the past. His power level was already nearing that of the weakened beyond and he could feel his body undergoing a breakthrough. Derik couldn’t help but feel ecstatic since he could tell that after this breakthrough he will be able to reach the peak of cultivation in this world. His body was slowly becoming more transparent and countless twinkling light which looked like stars were slowly moving all around his body and beside him was something that resembled an hourglass indicating his control over time in this new world he is about to create, yet there was no sand in it! His transformation was still incomplete.

“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Cyrus painful cries finally reached his ear.

Bam!

Before Derik could react, a black spear struck his heart and the beyond’s darkness surged into his body. He quickly sent forth his death aura to tackle the power but he could also feel his death aura getting consumed by this power surging inside his body.

Derik instantly turned pale as he pondered on what to do. He was at a critical point in his breakthrough and in such a situation his fighting capabilities are below average.

“Leave this place!” Cyrus cried out as he rushed forward to meet the beyond in battle once again.

He was breathing heavily and his golden blood flowed out of all his wounds he has sustained so far. With a glance, Derik could see that his godly soul was already damaged and he was so close to death that Derik could even feel his soul slipping out.

“Cyrus” Derik coughed out a mouthful of black blood while gazing at his closest companion from the very beginning when they were still mortals.

Even when the Gyro kingdom declared him wanted, Cyrus was the only member of their team guardians who understood him and fought for him. All through their short lives, they have been fighting battles that do not concern them. They had a choice to just be normal and enjoy their mortal lives but he and Cyrus refused. They wished to protect the people they love more than anything else. Because of this they walked the path of cultivation and faced the world together. Cyrus has always been more than a friend to Derik, he was more like a brother. For the first time in history, Life and death did not repel each other but they fought as one.

“Thank you for letting me fight alongside you for so long but this is where it ends for me. That’s why I am asking you to leave now carry out our dreams, bring back our friends and family, and then come back and murder this bastard” Cyrus said with a bitter smile on his face.

Visible cracks began appearing on his golden skin as his life aura exploded violently. His body lit up as he shone so bright that his light could be seen from all parts of the universe.

This is life’s final act and he intended to go down with a bang!

Without a second thought, Cyrus shot towards the massive black storm fearlessly. Plunging into the darkness, his light vanished as he plunged in even deeper.

“Die!”

Boom!

Suddenly a golden light shot out of the black storm as Cyrus’ voice shook the skies, he wasted no time in detonating his godly body creating a large explosion that even made someone like Derik retreat in fear

Derik could feel Cyrus’ godly essence scatter to all parts of this world and with blood rolling down his cheeks, he dived towards the passageway of his realm, hoping to escape this explosion that would destroy this planet.

Bam!

“You!!!!”

Derik was so close to escaping but then he struck a solid invisible wall, preventing him from entering his realm! He watched as the black storm wrapped around the passageway of his realm and forcefully shut it down.

Derik’s grief turned to rage as he turned to face the beyond who had finally fled from the black storm, revealing her true form. The black storm hovered over their heads as it struggled to contain the explosion created by Cyrus’ suicidal act and with a glance, Derik could tell that she won’t be able to contain it anymore.

Cyrus’ death brought about the end of this world and the final battle between Derik and the beyond was about to commence. Only one of them would live through this calamity.

……………

“Damn!” Zero yanked his eyes open and yawned weakly.

It was just another dream
