LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 38 Chapter 38: Change

"This is the third time this morning… guys… seriously?" Derik said indifferently while he focused on the grimoire right in front of him, he completely ignored Kira and Gin who were both armed with wooden spoons.

"Come on man! Let's go eat, the others waiting" Gin said, seating on the stone desk, right beside the grimoire. Kira only sighed and sat on the bed behind Derik, his cold gaze was fixed on Derik's back for a while after which he simply laughed and dropped the wooden spoon in his hand on the bed and lay down on his back.

"d.a.m.n… It feels like our roles have been switched… I use to be the cold one but today, I'm the one trying to persuade you to come downstairs for breakfast… " Kira laughed "What happened to you when we left… why do you refuse to put on the talisman… Are you really Derik?" Kira asked with a straight face.

Bam!

Gin fell off the desk in shock and he quickly turned around and stared at Derik who suddenly closed the grimoire in his hands. As usual, Derik's eyes were cold and was void of emotions

"Kira… Gin…" Derik called out to them. He dropped the grimoire on the stone desk and got on his feet

"It's still me… it's just that I barely feel anything now… anger… joy… pain… sorrow… its as if these emotions never existed. I can see things clearly now, its easier to make decisions… But that doesn't make me a monster, right?" Derik asked smiling

"Barely? That means you are still capable of feeling something right? We just have to put in more effort, right?" Gin asked the curiosity on his face could not be hidden easily

"I guess so" Derik nodded in agreement

Bang!

The wooden spoon struck Derik's face even before he could react and fell to the ground, this was something he did not expect. His indifferent gaze fell on Gin who stuck out his tongue and dashed out of the room with a sinister smile on his face and soon Derik and Kira could hear Gin laugh

"Well then…" Kira laughed and tossed his spoon at Derik, dashing out of the room immediately, he didn't even bother to check if the spoon hit or not. Derik simply smiled and chased after them

"You're not getting away from me," Derik said as he chased after them.

… Castle Black Dining Hall…

The others wore somber expressions on their faces as they ate, the way they acted when Derik revealed his powers split the team in two, now the most powerful members of the group treated them like strangers, not even bothering to say a word to them whenever they cross path. Even Derik who fought alongside them in the inter-cla.s.s exams does not even look at them, everything was perfect just a few days ago, even Kira who they called 'the Prince of Darkness' loosened up a bit. But now they don't even eat together

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

It felt like the castle shook, even the ten-meter long dining table shook as well. Suddenly they saw a blue-haired kid covered in a blue barrier sphere fell down the stairs and hit the ground like a comet. He wore a blue garment similar to Derik and Kira's nightwear, he wore a blue chest plate and his blue gauntlets. He looked ridiculous

"d.a.m.n!!!" Gin screamed as he hurriedly reached for his magic sword which fell off his hand when he fell to the ground.

Tink!

Using the sword, Gin stopped the bone spear from burrowing a hole in his chest

"Ok! Is that all you got? Messenger of Death" Gin laughed

"Well then… let me show you!" Derik said with a smile.

Immediately it felt like time froze and all the mana in the room gathered around Derik and Gin. Instantly they weapons were shrouded in black and blue energy respectively, they both gazed at each other with crazed expressions on their faces. Before both combatants could strike forward a blood-red spear swept Derik off his feet from the side which knocked him off balance and he fell on the ground. Kira was dressed in a red garment and only held a red blood spear in his hand, he looked dumb in his attire, everyone in the room was speechless.

"Let's get out of here, Gin!" Kira said to Gin and dashed out of the room

"Ok! Bro!" Gin responded

Not daring to let this opportunity pa.s.s him by, Gin quickly stood up and dashed out of the room, chasing after Kira

"Cowards!" Derik laughed as slowly got on his feet. What kind of enemy will attack and run, as a warrior using hit and run tactics is very shameful. He waved his hand and dark energy poured out of every opening in his body and soon consumed him completely. The dark energy was soon replaced by white bone armor

"How far do you think you can run" Derik laughed as he dashed out of the room.

The others simply exchanged a glance and looked at the door which was one of the few doors that led outside the castle. Three people, fighting in their night wears, if this news got out they are likely going to become laughing stocks amongst their peers but when they remembered the pressure they felt when Derik and Gin were about to attack each other seriously, no recruit will dare laugh at these three recruits who were at the top of the inter-cla.s.s ranking list

"Seriously… what's up with Derik… It's like there are two people in one body… One minute he's normal, the next he's a monster" Donald said

"Don't be fooled, he may have a smile on his face but his eyes are empty… Derik is still in there but he's no longer human… it's just a matter of time before the beast inside him takes over" Cyrus said indifferently. Even when Derik laughed his eyes were still empty, how can someone like that be human

"Maybe you didn't see it but his smile was genuine… it's still Derik… why will he risk his life just to save Gin and Kira" Daemon said "All this happened because of your stupid beliefs... why can't light and darkness co-exist? He hasn't killed anyone yet… he hasn't committed any crime… stop hating… the team is in shambles because of you!" Daemon screamed angrily at Cyrus and walked away.

"She's kind of right you know… for this team to move forward… you have to grow up" Karl said and left the room as well. Donald sighed and left the room as well

…Meanwhile…

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Using his bone spear Derik struggled with numerous mini-arcs of blue energy

"s.h.i.t!!!" Derik muttered. He clearly understood what Gin was trying to do, by minimizing the amount of energy he expends, he can prolong this fight and wear out Derik, he was probably waiting for Derik to run out of mana.

"He doesn't know?" Derik grinned and a faint blue light shone in his eyes and vanished almost instantly. These people are only aware of his death magic ability but are unaware of his werewolf side. if they knew that this death mage they decided to annoy this morning had close to infinite mana they will probably regret their actions.

"I will wipe that smile off your face!!" Kira screamed. "From the pit of the abyss, I call upon thee, fight my battles and smite thy enemies… Become my shield and become my sword… let my foes shriek at the mention of thy name… Blood summon; h.e.l.lsp.a.w.n!!!" Kira screamed. He immediately struck his left palm with the blood spear in his hands and blood poured out. Suddenly, the blood gathered at one point and formed a ten-meter wide pool beside Kira. From this pool shrieks and cries emanated, a bloodied hand that possessed pointy claws emerged and grabbed the ground and slowly pulled itself out. Derik frowned slightly and stared at Kira in disbelief

"Is it possible to specialize in both battle magic and summoning magic?" Derik muttered. In this world, even amongst battle mages, there are two groups or factions, that's the summoning cla.s.s and the battle cla.s.s. Like the word implies, the summoning cla.s.s specializes in summoning abilities, bringing in magical and even supernatural beasts from other dimensions to fight for them while the battle mages simply specialize in attack and defensive spells. The cla.s.s one falls in is solely dependent on the nature of your magic spirit, Derik has never heard of a mage possessing both cla.s.ses in one body. If he could actually feel something, he was sure he would envy Kira at this moment, this kid is the true genius, the number one recruit and not a cheat like him who depends on his cheat werewolf side to get stronger, without which he probably would have remained in the archery cla.s.s castle, becoming slightly above average at best. At this point, he felt slightly inferior to this blood mage
