Paragon of Death

147 Chapter 146: The war begins!

“Impossible! He shouldn’t have learned it so fast!” The son of heaven trembled in fear as he watched Damon’s erect figure with intense eyes.

The orc King and the Elven queen frowned as well as they saw this but none said anything. Silently they cast meaningful gazes at each other and nodded in agreement!

Damon had to die now!

In the past, during the chaotic era, this power was what was used to kill the elf king! He was a domineering being that struggled against the power of death. It could be considered the most powerful necromancy ability in death magic which allows the user to fuse with the souls of the dead and gain their abilities for themselves.

Necromancy magic: One with Death!

In the warring era, the death mage was the last to lose his life. When the battle reached its peak, he recalled all his undead soldiers and showcased shocking strength which even overturn the heavens!

One man alone battled the world, revealing powers of various pathways and elements, suppressing the supreme experts of the world until his body collapsed due to exhaustion and he was killed.

Seeing Damon use the ability which should belong to King Dormus of the dwarves, everyone was shaken and quickly agitated. They couldn’t let the battle continue the way it is going, they needed to push the attack with all they have if they ever dream of winning against Damon.

“Hmph! Even if you try, you won’t stand a chance against me!” Damon’s voice echoed in their heads and caught their attention.

.....

His sensitivity towards negative emotions was high, so he could already tell what was going on in their heads.

Without giving them a chance to speak, Damon casually raised his hand and a loud horn blew, making the skies tremble.

Rumbling sounds could be heard as a large force of over five hundred thousand undead soldiers began descending the mountain slowly revealing a fierce killing aura and making these people frown.

Many thought it was the size of the army that made the son of heaven feel uncomfortable and they were right. It was the size but in another way!

“Just this many? Shouldn’t there be more or were we misinformed?” The Elven queen frowned at this and looked at Damon with strange eyes. They were informed by their spies that Damon has over a million undead soldiers under his command, so why is it that only half the number appeared before them today?

Is it that Damon was cocky or is there more to it?

No!

The three kings look at each other before returning their attention to Damon who stood above. His eyes fell on them and a cruel smile bloomed on his face.

“Settle down, there is enough death to go around... no need to rush” Damon said calmly and at that moment the ground began to tremble.

The three kings turned around only to see another five hundred thousand-man armies emerging from the rear of their forces!

Buzzz!

How did they get behind us?

In war, speed was extremely important, the enemy had to be fast and stealthy to get past their radar and sneak up behind them so fast.

“While you all were so excited about killing the injured death mage, you let your guards down and charged to this place without hesitation... Even then it would be impossible to sneak an army of five hundred thousand soldiers but it shouldn’t be too difficult to attach that number of undead shoulders to the shadow of my loyal servant while he sneaks behind your forces.” Damon said calmly as the undead army at the rear of the enemy forces parted and made way for Cassius Blood who rode a bone horse and had bright red armor on. His cold gaze was pinned on the enemy forces and he had an impatient look on his face.

It felt like he was eager to dive in and rip everyone to shreds.

By the way, the major people who killed his Death mage friend were here, how could he not want to fight?

The son of heaven turned pale, alongside the other three kings. While it may not look like much, war has always been about formations and tactics. Even a fool at the basic level can tell that it would be extremely difficult to survive being flanked from two sides by undying soldiers! Even if they have weaker troops, the unlimited energy and invulnerability to damage these undead troops have is not something that can be underestimated.

Thinking about it now, they realized Damon wasn’t hurt. He allowed himself to get hit by that devastating move and feigned injury, even Elsa couldn’t see through it. Because of this, they marched their troops tirelessly for three days just to get here in time to kill Damon but he was at peak condition if not stronger while their troops were already worn out.

“Checkmate” Damon said with a cruel smile on his face.

Even Kaido standing not too far from him wore a pale look on his face. Everyone understood the situation and they knew only death awaited them. Right now their only hope lies in the hands of the three great kings of their kingdoms.

Bang!

Damon kicked the air and his body shot back like a spear while Kaido was still lost in thoughts.

Thud!

Damon landed in front of his army gracefully. hiss eyes seemed to contain unrivaled confidence as a Gray gas escaped his body and slowly formed the dead King Dormus of the Grimhold kingdom.

“I said this earlier but no one took me seriously,” Damon said coldly.

He casually waved his hand and a bone horse formed in his presence and with the life pathway, he breathed life into it.

“The debt you owe, I intend to collect it all today” Damon said coldly.

He had put in so much effort to put things in place. With the enemy surrounded, they can launch an all out attack and eradicate these people.

............

Hmph!

The orc king, Belial turned his war pig and his army created a path for him. He rode forward with a calm look on his face, heading towards the rear of the three allied forces.

“Handle the child... we will handle these ones behind... we cannot afford to break formations or we may actually die”Belial said coldly

Hawu!

Hawu!

Hawu!

The orcs began chanting and slamming their weapons on their chest while the war drums began beating!

A vague green halo spread across the orc army, as a very wild and fierce aura, exploded from them.

Halo of madness!

Grrrrr!

The orc forces turned savages without fear. Their eyes blazing green while their mouths foamed. Their body exuded incredible power but at the same time, insane madness. A madness that can affect both allies and enemies.

The perfect battlefield for the orcs.

Hmph!

Seeing this Cassius wasn’t moved. He casually pricked his thumb and blood-red gas flowed out spreading across the entire battlefield.

Boom!

Suddenly the green eyes of the undead soldiers turned blood red as a savage aura exploded from their bodies. Bloodthirst could be felt from these soldiers and the stench of blood filled the air

Halo of blood!

The two sides didn’t hesitate to activate their war halos as the battle was imminent. Five hundred thousand undead soldiers against three hundred thousand orc soldiers!

“Isolating Cassius’s group from Damon will be a major game changer... we have to take advantage and strike now... All forces, prepare to attack!” The son of heaven bellowed and the Elven queen nodded in agreement as their forces began to march forward without hesitation.

All those men were exhausted, upon seeing hope, everyone was excited! They cast aside their fears and allowed their body to run on adrenaline. As long as they can reach the death mage and kill him, this battle will end.

Boom!

While they were contemplating a loud explosion erupted as the black aura of decay surged uncontrollably around Damon. His blood-red eyes dimmed, completely losing their light, and got replaced by intense darkness!

Shhhiiiiiiii!

A cruel scream filled the sky as the black aura took the shape of a massive cloaked being with two pairs of black angelic wings with a black scythe in its hands.

Halo of Death: Decay!

Buzzz!

A feeling of dread and oppression spread across the two armies below as they have never come across such a level of strength before. Even the precious death mages they killed never showcased their power. They watched as the soil beneath the feet of the undead army began to turn grey while the vegetation died off immediately.

A power that can turn all things to dust!

“Such evil cannot be allowed to exist!” The son of heaven bellowed with rage but he dared not approach with his forces.

“Settle down.. this is only the beginning!” Damon said coldly as a green flash erupted within his black eyes and a second wave of green energy spread across his undead army!

Another halo? Impossible!

No one should be able to cast two halos at once!
