PARAGON OF DEATH - Chapter 76

76 Chapter 75: Charge!

“Hold the line!”

Various hundred-man commanders cried out as the guardians formed the first defensive line amongst and the second. Damon watched from a distance as their bodies glowed various colors as countless guardian level spells were cast and even the Oracle class mages amongst them cast some defensive spell on them.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The earth shook as the enemy forces got close. Damon felt his heart pounding dangerously as he felt mixed emotions of both fear and excitement at the same time. His eyes were as bright as they could ever be and a smile rippled all over his face!

This is the life meant for him!

It felt like time paused for Damon as his excitement hit its peak. He could feel it all surging through him, he felt like he had returned to the place where he is meant to be.

Death strives in chaotic environments!

…..

Damon felt those words imprint on his head and he finally felt peace. All those voices in his head, calling out to him, turned quiet as the battle began!

Boom!

“Hold the line!” Tristan growled with a fierce look as the burning enemies smashed into the shields of the guardian, trying to push their way through! Sounds of metal clashing could be heard as the Guardians held their breath and held on against the enemy.

“Release!” Tristan suddenly ordered and the guardians made their move!

Swoosh!

The struggling guardians suddenly stepped to the side and stopped defending. The surging vampires were caught off guard as the first line of attack, tripped into the enemy side of the battlefield. Their friends could only watch in horror as the shields went back up and the defensive line was recreated, making sure those still outside couldn’t help those within.

Cries could be heard as the lancers behind the guardians didn’t hesitate to pull their weapons and decapitate the fallen enemies!

Bang!

The vampires smashed into the shields again and the same struggle repeated itself. With the enemy forces still charging forward, those in front had no other choice but to keep pushing against the defensive walls and have their numbers taken down.

It was a slow process but Tristan’s forces were winning while taking absolutely zero damage!

“To command an army you need to earn their respect and trust! I hope you understand” Cage who was seated on his steed behind Damon spoke.

His eyes were on what was happening on the front lines but he still made some time to lecture Damon.

“Everyone take a step back, assume formation!” Suddenly a voice boomed but it was within the burning forbidden palace!

Hearing his words the entire army frowned and the surging vampire and fox spirit army began to retreat while taking battle formation!

Soon they stood like no army, just that the atmosphere became tense! These enemies that once acted like monsters when racing down finally calmed down!

This is not a good sign!

Damon could tell something had changed and couldn’t help but frown!

“Tank! Break their defensive line!” The voice boomed and quickly a figure shot forward through the crowd ahead!

Vampires and fox spirits moved out of the way as the seven feet tall vampires began sprinting forward and its body revealed a red glow!

It’s a normal run that soon burst into a full sprint and even more! Tristan who sat on his horse and watched frowned at this and didn’t even bother speaking again!

“Hold the line!” Cage ordered immediately as he noticed Tank was heading towards his forces! His eyes rippled with a fierce light as he watched the enemy approach.

With each step Tank took, he became more fierce and formidable!

Boom!

As expected, the guardians forming the first defensive line were thrown across the battlefield as soon as the collision occurred!

“Strike…. Show them the power of the blood clan!” the voice within the forbidden palace spoke softly but his words were like fire!

Roar!

Countless inhuman cries could be heard across the battlefield as more burly vampires like tank replicated his actions and began charging at other defensive lines across the battlefield and a fierce battle began!

“Pull back the wounded, have the second defensive line move in front! Don’t let the enemy penetrate too deep!” Cage roared with a fierce look in his eyes as he watched Tank bulldoze his way through his forces, almost making it to the second defensive line!

Xiu!

Cage’s eyes flickered as he noticed Damon made a move!

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Depending on his wind steps and incredible agility as a werewolf, Damon began using the shoulders of his allies as stepping stones as he raced towards the front lines of the battle.

From a distance, Tristan saw Damon and his eyes squinted. He noticed Damon’s hair all stood up and looked spiking. His jaws were a bit wider and his eyes more terrifying!

This is what it meant to pull as much strength from the curse while trying not to transform into a full werewolf. It was an extremely delicate state which people who lack control wouldn’t dare enter!

“He finally couldn’t bear to watch anymore. As expected!” Tristan said with a rare smile as if he predicted all of this long before now!

“I WILL BE YOUR OPPONENT!” Damon’s furious growl reached the skies as his figure shot into the air, gaining the attention of many!

Tank was still charging forward when Damon growled but it didn’t stop the massive vampire simply focused on doing his job!

Secret technique: Werewolves roar!

Damon’s aura exploded as it took the shape of a mighty wolf and raced down!

Boom!

Cage and the purple werewolf clash and from the purple werewolf Damon staggers out but for a moment even Tank retreats by three steps at least!

Roar!

Tank growled like a furious beast as it glared at Damon with a face filled with hatred and disgust. Its hands were clenched together as he smacked downwards, threatening to crush Damon with one attack, unfortunately, it was too slow!

Bang!

The ground where Damon once stood caved in as the mighty fists of Tank smashed into it.

Brilliant claw!

Damon growled like an injured beast as his hands raced like a spear, slashing past the enemy’s face which brought about a loud cry!

Tank screamed at the top of his voice as he held its bloodied eyes!

Damon’s attack was aimed at blinding it and not killing it! Seeing the beast stagger back while holding its eyes, Damon jumped forward and landed on the chest of the enemy! Without giving him the chance to struggle, Damon’s fist which was fuelled by his aura and pure flames plunged into the chest of the massive vampire and the next moment, his heart was pulled out!

Bang!

The entire hundred-man force was silent as they watched the massive body fall to the ground with a loud sound. Damon stood on the corpse of the enemy, his eyes looking past his allies and pinned on the faces of the enemies racing forward.

The army behind him cheered merrily for his victory but he didn’t care about that now! He could even feel another tattoo getting drawn on his body, yet all his focus was on the attacking forces!

“This is no time to defend…. Charge!!!!!!!!!” Damon’s voice was low for the first part but when he screamed in the second part his voice boomed like lightning.

Without waiting for anyone to be dashed forward, racing towards the enemy forces alone. His war cry and actions instinctively made them race forward without thinking, meanwhile, the rest shot Commander Cage a glance as if waiting for his approval!

“You heard him, Charge!!!!! Spearhead formation! Pierce through!” Tristan’s voice boomed and the air changed.

The once defending army suddenly charged and pressed the attack! A loud cry can be heard as the commanders lead the charge this time as the army took the shape of a spearhead and raced into the enemy formation!

And just like that, the battle began!

Against human level enemies, Damon was a nightmare. Combining wind steps and mana reinforcement, Damon’s mobility hit its peak, making him hard to hit!

He was the first to plunge into the enemy forces and even before they could react properly, he had already ripped out the throat of two fox spirits!

His eyes let out a fiercer light as his aura took the shape of a purple wolf and he charged through the enemy formation bulldozing his way through!

Awoooooooooooo!

Tristan’s wolf let out a loud cry before jumping into battle! While Damon had hidden within the human-sized energy wolf, racing through the enemy forces, Tristan was on his grey wolf, bulldozing through the enemy forces while advancing at a terrifying pace. Both men led armies behind them and cleared the path ahead with only one place in mind!

The forbidden palace!

If the blood clan dared to hide this number of vampires in the capital then they must have left a capable commander to lead them in battle should this situation arise. If Damon or Tristan wants to end this battle quickly with the least number of casualties, that vampire needs to die!
