Paragon of Death

170 Chapter 169: Death magic: One with death!

For the first time in forever, Damon felt like he was in a losing battle. One with which he had no business, neither did he have any chance of victory. Going against one of the two Draconian brothers would be manageable. His chances of winning are still somewhere slightly above fifty but then with the presence of the second foe his chance of victory was somewhere around twenty percent if not lower. A miracle will be required to boost his chances by a small number.

“Is that fear I smell from the great death mage?” Fei in his red dragon form laughed loudly.

“It would be disappointing If the great death mage is scared of us after a few pointers” Raizen in his silver dragon laughed cruelly.

Hearing this Damon maintained his calm while his eyes revealed deep hatred for the duo. For so long countless hosts have been murdered by the world for just existing. Few manage to reach the old gods but they all fell eventually...

They should be teams and not enemies and focus on gaining the advantage over the enemy together yet the power of two hosts was hijacked by the Draconian race and used to create two dullards who are considered hosts.

“Hehehehe! Do you wish to kill us that bad?” Fei asked in an amused tone while remaining airborne. He may be having fun but he wasn’t so stupid that he would dare breathe the same air as the death mage.

“Hmph! I doubt he can kill us. Even when given enough power to beat us, it’s useless because we are the final reincarnations of the destruction and storm hosts. If we die, we get to watch you die as well from the heavens. You cannot win against the heavens alone.” Raizen growled as his massive body shot forward and the mighty werewolf frowned but it refused to retreat.

From the corner of his eyes, he could see the enemy already charging an attack. His heart began beating rapidly as his body moved to an unheard melody while trails of pure mana followed his movements closely as his eyes revealed a flash.

Secret technique: Brilliant claw!

.....

The werewolf jumped off the ground and into the air, charging at the silver dragon. His hand moved in a circular motion before punching forward, sending rings of green light forward to meet the enemy but as expected the energy attack was shattered as it got in the way of the Silver Dragon.

Boom!

The silver dragon smashed into Damon, taking him down instantly.

” Lightning tyrant!” Damon’s eyes flared up with power and immense bolts of Lightning surged around his body, picking up the silver dragon as it made contact with Damon and throwing him off.

Bang!

Damon hit the ground and rolled just to get back on his feet, only to see a fierce red beam of energy charging toward him.

Hmph!

Damon snorted disdainfully as he quickly reverted to small human form and slammed the ground with an open palm!

Bone pyramid!

Countless bone pillars erupted from the ground, rising into the air to take the shape of a pyramid with Damon hidden within!

Boom!

The red beam struck and the entire structure began to tremble violently. Unlike before these dragons were determined to end Damon here and now making things difficult for him.

In fact, the only reason he hasn’t lost is because the owner of this anomaly is pinning down Gerald Gyro while simultaneously trying to stop Elsa and the rest from reaching the sealed artifact. In its current state, there are only a handful of things even a demigod can do.

Boom!

Explosions after explosions. More bone pillars fell as the attack seemed to be prepared to destroy Damon’s defense completely.

Blegh!

Within the bone pyramid, Damon spat out a mouthful of blood with a terribly pale face. While he may be considered powerful, switching from one power to another can leave his body exhausted. Because he has an immortal body doesn’t make him unkillable. Because he has the healing and recovery abilities of a werewolf doesn’t mean he can’t run out of mana if pushed to his limit. It only meant it would be harder for him to reach his limit!

“SHATTER THE BONE PYRAMID! KILL THE DEATH MAGE FAST, HE HAS REACHED HIS LIMIT!” A fierce voice boomed across the entire realm trembling violently.

.......

Below the platform, Gerald Gyro was completely covered by a pyramid of sand with only his head visible. His eyes seemed fierce as black symbols kept spreading across the sand pyramid.

When the voice boomed, Gerald paled in fright. If Damon dies these dragons would finish up as members of the three star alliance sect and Damon’s teammates will die as well.

That means he will most likely be sealed here because the ancient elemental earth dragon would have enough power to keep him pinned down here forever.

“I guess I have no choice then but to help the death mage!” Gerald said as his eyes released a fierce orange light as the golden phoenix not too far from him which was inactive for a while now suddenly came to life. It opened its mouth and fierce flames could be seen rolling within its mouth but the problem was that the target of this attack was Gerald!

His immortal pathway was one filled with hidden conditions and terms which many are not aware of. Many thought the users of this pathway can only form through natural means and can be resurrected infinitely but they were wrong. While they can be resurrected infinitely there was always a catch.

With each resurrection, Gerald’s body slowly accumulates hidden injuries that are incurable. Eventually, the accumulated hidden injuries will surface, and that will kill him or permanently cripple him. That’s why he didn’t dare try to kill himself when sealed since that’s a means of communication escaping the seal.

It can’t seal what is dead anyway!

But that was to be saved as his last attempt at survival. If he didn’t help Damon now, it would be too late for him to survive.

.......

Meanwhile, within the sealed artifact storage room, Gin, Cyrus, and Elsa turned pale in fright as they heard those words. Their eyes were pinned on the sealed artifact as they began having second thoughts.

If Damon dies then it’s over. Even if they can’t get this sealed artifact they can still get their inheritance and stand against the invaders. In their opinion, getting this sealed artifact wasn’t so important as to let any of them die.

“Don’t turn back. Keep going!” A familiar voice rang in their eyes. It sounded firm and stern but weak and worn out.

“Damon!” Elsa gasped but then she looked at her shadow and saw a pair of blood red eyes within them.

The same was true for Gin and Cyrus too. Damon had an undead soldier hidden in their Shadow and through it did he communicate with them. As soon as it was done speaking the voice faded as well as the presence. They could feel it clearly.

Damon was weak!

“You heard him. We acquire the sealed artifact first before we return. Double your speed, Elsa!” Gin said with a stern look as he kept looking at the shadow below him.

For some reason, he felt something terrible may happen soon.

.....

Damon heard the loud cry and a cruel smile bloomed on his face. While it was a way of letting everyone know he is weak, this move was like a double-edged sword. While everyone got to know about his weakness, Damon could tell the great demigod was in a dire situation as well. Most likely, Elsa and her team were close to acquiring the sealed artifact leaving it anxious and forcing a mighty being like this to use such underhanded techniques.

“I guess these guys are doing their part really well. I have no excuse not to do mine then” Damon said with a bitter smile as he slowly rose to his feet as he saw the light from the enemy attack piercing into his defense.

Huff!

Damon exhaled with a slight sigh before looking at the bright light shattering all his defenses.

Buzzzzz!

Suddenly a feeling of dread spread across the entire realm sending shivers down everyone’s spine. They could feel the cold blade of the angel of death placed at their throats. Even Elsa, Cyrus, and Gin felt it and the sandstorm surged dangerously in a bid to stop their advance stopped!

Damon!

Elsa and everyone gasped in shock.

Meanwhile within the bone pyramid was a man standing with ghastly black hair fuming gently. His eyes seemed unfocused no matter what he looked at and his body was filled with black cracks. Black blood sipped out of all sides of his body and his skin was terribly pale but the power diffusing from his body was fierce.

Damon seemed like a completely different person as he gazed towards the red beam threatening to shatter his bone pyramid with an emotionless look on his face.
