Paragon of Death

73 Chapter 72: Killing Javier

Fusing basic magic with his fighting style to boost lethality... Why casting such a basic level of magic may not take much from him, it dramatically boosts his power while making things difficult for the enemy” Alicia Hail said as she watched Damon’s fiery fist forcing Javier back relentlessly. Taking on a ferocious werewolf is one thing but taking on a ferocious werewolf with burning claws is something else entirely as well.

Gazing at Damon’s darting figure, everyone couldn’t help but feel a sense of hope. His fighting instincts are perfect, his fighting technique may be rusty but he was getting better with each second of the fight.

Peng!

Damon was thrown back and even before his feet could touch the ground, the enemy chased after him with fierce eyes!

Shadowless flight!

Damon executed a strange footwork and for a moment his body vanished, reappearing at the Blindspot of the enemy and striking at him fiercely!

Peng!

Javier barely reacted to the attack and frowned. He failed to understand just what happened now, for a moment he and Damon were exchanging blows, the next moment Damon vanished.

Is a mage meant to have secret techniques reserved for fighters?

.....

Brilliant claw!

Damon had no intention of giving the enemy the time to think and understand his techniques. His claws began trembling as a strange sound could be heard and Damon exploded with raw power!

“In this battle, only one of us will make it out alive!” Damon growled!

Xiu!

Numerous energy claws raced forward, threatening to completely consume the enemy but a wall of blood was erected right in front of the target, making everyone frown!

Blood wall!

Thud!

Javier retreated a bit before dashing into the corner and vanishing. He had come across a lot of strange things and this could be considered one of them! Fighting Damon would take too much time, which may draw the attention of many. Since he isn’t able to kill Damon fast, he assumes it’s best he runs.

“Like hell am I letting you leave!” Damon snorted disdainfully as he chased after the enemy leaving Jean standing there with a frown on her face. She only launched one attack and then didn’t have the heart to follow up. She has seen the way Damon and Javier clash numerous times. She wasn’t sure she was good enough to block consecutive attacks from the enemy so she didn’t want to give him a reason to attack her.

“I’m sorry!” She quickly lowered her head shamefully as she saw the Hail’s approaching.

“You have done enough for today. No one can blame you for this, many people react this way during their first time so don’t think too much about it” Duke Hail patted her head and consoled her with a warm look on her face.

“If you don’t get your shit together, you will only be a burden when the main battle begins... Make a choice” Dennis said coldly and walked away.

The others nodded in agreement and followed Dennis, they wanted to see what was going on with Damon!

Swoosh!

Jumping from building to building, Javier wore a deep frown on his face as he retreated. His eyes were grave and his body shivered in fear. In his thirty years of being a vampire, this is his first time having a close brush with death.

He should be faster than Damon but the wind spell combined with his werewolf speed made it impossible for him to lose Damon.

“Who the hell did I offend to have such a bad day?” Javier couldn’t help but mutter under his breath!

While he jumped from building to building, Damon ran on the ground, following him tightly. In fact, it didn’t look like he was running, instead, he looked like he was skating!

Javier watched in despair as Damon began running on the walls of the building opposite his location and with a strong push, he shot into the air, charging toward the enemy!

Secret combat technique: Werewolves roar!

Damon’s aura completely shrouded his body and took the shape of a werewolf pouncing on a vampire!

“You! Blood curtain!” Javier cried furiously as he raised his hand, blood exploded from his body forming a circular barrier in front of him but surprisingly the werewolf sidestepped.

Its agility far surpassed his expectations and from the corner of his eyes, he watched the massive purple energy wolf vanish from his sight!

Shadowless flight

Roar!

He was going to make a move but then he heard a loud roar which stunned him but for a short time!

A figure vanished completely reappearing behind the enemy and striking forward ruthlessly!

Puffff!

Javier’s eyes yanked open even more as he felt the energy surging within his body vanish. His heart was completely pulled out from his chest and he could even see Damon’s hand holding his shriveled heart!

“You....” He muttered as blood poured out of his mouth without restraint.

“Werewolves roar is a two step ability not just one. I purposefully hid this second part the first time I used it against you. Your lack of combat experience led to your death today” Damon said coldly as he pulled out his hand holding the enemy’s heart, revealing a gaping hole in Javier’s chest.

There were three ways of killing a vampire in this world. The first is to destroy their heart using a stake or ripping their hearts out if you have the physical strength to do so. You can also decapitate them and destroy the head entirely or you can destroy their body as a whole but this would be difficult for the average person or even the strong to do so many just choose to stick to the two.

Bang!

Javier’s body fell to the ground and his lips moved a bit but no words could be heard. Damon stood over him with a slight frown on his face. A vampire with zero combat knowledge before and after his death put up this much of a resistance.

How difficult would it be to deal with a vampire with some fighting experience?

As little as Damon knew, he knew one thing for sure. Once a person becomes a vampire, they lose their previous abilities and gain a new ability.

Blood control!

It’s just like Klien’s blood magic, practically the same but that is added to their undying body which grants them fast healing, speed and strength. In fact, the more blood they consume, the better they become or should I say the stronger they become. Javier was only this weak because he followed orders and rarely fed on people. The homeless people he fed on he usually spent a month taking care of them and earning their trust and only after they got closer would he strike. It is safe to say in his time here at the capital he had a kill count of not more than ten.

The kid may have lacked strength but he had what other vampires lacked, control.

“That explains why they sent him. Any other vampire would have been caught a long time ago” Damon said coldly as he felt another symbol brand itself to his skin but there was nothing else!

“No soul?” Damon muttered in shock as he raised an eyebrow.

“They have no souls for me to consume, that means I can’t add them to my undead army too?” Damon muttered in shock again but this time he stepped back a bit and frowned.

His eyes revealed a hint of disappointment as he gazed at the body lying on the ground. His plans of consuming more souls while he killed more vampires and reaching the spirit realm seems to be coming to an end.

“What’s wrong?” Duke Hail’s voice echoed as he and the other members of the Hail family walked over.

They gazed at the corpse on the ground and nodded in acknowledgement. Damon did not fail to meet up to their expectations at all. Even Jean gazed at the corpse and Damon in shock.

“Your strength as a werewolf has finally reached the esteemed human level. You need to put in more effort to raise it to the exalted human level. Then we can train you to lead a small unit in the army... You have a vital role to play in all of this. Don’t forget...” Duke Hail said to Damon as he patted his shoulders before passing on a small bag of coins and a list of targets with necessary details.

Damon opened the bag and his eyes opened up slightly as he saw a good number of gold coins.

“Am I getting paid now? So I have become a mercenary for the kingdom. Nice to know” Damon mocked.

“You will be living in the capital until everyone on that list is dead. You have the token of the Hail family so nothing should be able to stop you here unless you bump into his majesty or the royal family. That cash is for your upkeep. They are heading back to the Hail Territory but don’t worry I will be here to make sure nothing goes wrong with you” Tristain said coldly.
