Chapter 381: Mercy

"I will say this only once Cyrus… You are like a brother to me, but if you dare try to harm those who I have chosen to protect… I won't hesitate to cut you down!" Derik said with his killing intentions spread across the empire.

Even then Cyrus remained unfazed and gazed at Derik for a short time while pondering on what to do next. While killing Francis, Ahika and Diana are important to him, he wouldn't be able to do it with Derik standing in his way. As powerful as Derik maybe, Life magic will always be his bane so, in a one versus one fight, his chances of winning will always be higher. The problem now is, if they should fight here and the battle gets serious where they both go at each other without holding anything back, chances are the continent itself may be destroyed as a result of their battle.

Cyrus knew Derik was well aware of this but still chose to stand in his way, so the question is why?
