PARAGON OF DEATH - Chapter 77

77 Chapter 76: Death at the corner

Roar!

Letting out an inhuman roar, the purple beast raced through the enemy’s defensive lines without fear, charging them! The spearhead formation has always been made or used to tear through the enemy formation just as it was doing now!

Damon and Tristan raced forward while the army followed behind them, chasing after them fiercely! The purple wolf raced forward, shredding weaker foes with a single hit! It was like an unstoppable force, racing to the ends of the earth with nothing able to stop this great movement, unfortunately, Damon had yet to reach the level of strength where he can boldly make such claims!

Boom!

Suddenly the purple wolf crashed into a gathering of foes but it couldn’t advance after that! His eyes dilated as he smashed into an immovable mountain. Damon looked up to see a seven feet tall figure gazing down at him with a fierce look on his face!

Shit!

Bang!

The ground where Damon once stood shattered entirely as his body spun to the side and his claws flew recklessly!

Roar!

…..

The people energy wolf let out a furious cry, slapping forward without hesitation!

Boom!

A shockwave erupted as but Damon’s claws could not even leave a scratch on the enemy, talk less of harming him

Peng!

So fast!

Damon’s eyes were still filled with shock and disbelief as the feet of the enemy shot into his belly from below! Everything happened in a matter of seconds and even though Damon could barely react, his instincts kicked in and his hands raised all the way to his belly in a bid to block!

Boom!

It felt like an explosion erupted around his belly as his body shot into the air with his eyes wide open. His body shot into the air and the purple wolf created by his aura was blown away in an instant!

[Warrior realm! It’s a warrior realm level foe, this is not a battle I can win!] Damon’s mind raced and his body jerked back while his eyes revealed a hint of worry!

This little moment of pause was enough for the army behind to meet up with him, crashing into the enemy forces and a fierce battle broke out around him!

THUD!

Damon landed softly with both feet as a fierce fight erupted around him and the smell of blood filled the air!

His eyes were pinned on the mighty pale figure walking towards him with a fierce look on his face. The vampire practically slapped away all soldiers who dared to face him and even went as far as to decapitate some people with a mere slap!

His eye was focused on Damon the whole time as it slowly walked towards the youth from the Hail family with great resentment in his eyes!

The family of werewolves! They are the greatest problem the blood clan has faced all through their lives. Today is no exception!

“You killed Tank… I saw it, you are the new lone wolf… you have skill” The warrior realm vampire said coldly as it took a step forward and it felt like he had crossed seven seas, appearing right in front of Damon!

Bang!

Once again, Damon barely reacted on time and jumped out of the way as the fist smashed into the ground where he once stood! His eyes released a negligible amount of darkish purple flames as he felt threatened for the first time in a short while. Although he was surrounded by the Hail family forces, fighting off various foes, he felt truly alone.

It felt like he was in a dark room with just the mighty vampire.

His eyes squinted as he took a stance! In this battle, there was no one available to lend him a hand, he can only rely on his strength alone to win this.

[If you just stopped restraining yourself… if you stopped thinking like every other being on this planet with a lesser purpose, you wouldn’t be here in the first place!] Death finally spoke up and a figure shrouded in darkness appeared ahead of Damon, blocking his view of the enemy.

“What do you mean?” Damon was stunned as he noticed the warrior realm vampire had slowed down drastically, it almost looked like time had paused, leaving him alone with this being.

[Do you know why the guardian spirits exist? Do you know the purpose we serve?] Death asked with fierce green eyes hidden with the hood draped over his head.

[For every action there is an expected level of reaction… The world creates and destroys. Nothing created is without a role… We guardian spirits may have a history of being chaotic but the story has two sides. You have heard the story of the guardian spirits from the mouths of others but have you tried to hear the same story from the mouths of those directly involved?] Death said with knitted eyebrows.

He seemed displeased with Damon for some reason which he can’t explain.

“Can we talk about this later? As you can see I am a few moments from getting involved in a pretty serious battle. You are ruining the moment” Damon shrugged his shoulders as he spoke which made Death sigh!

Reluctance could be seen in the eyes of death and after a short moment of silence Death slowly began to vanish while gazing at Damon with a sad look on his face.

[Constantly Suppressing your power is not always the right path… No power is truly evil, good and evil are two sides of the same coin. None can do without the other… if you can’t accept what you are, how do you plan to make people accept you?] Death said before he vanished.

Even though he spoke about good and evil, Damon had a strong feeling that this being in his head is not only talking about the death magic but he didn’t have the time to pay attention!

Grrrr!

Damon’s eyes lit up as he gazed at the enemy ahead and a pure purple aura exploded from his claws as he took a firm step forward and struck without hesitation

Kill!

Claw shaped energy arcs raced forward as Damon brandished his claws ruthlessly!

Bang!

The enemy vampire ignores everything and races forward, powering his way through all the attacks. As he charged forward, cutting down the distance between him and Damon almost instantly, his fist swung forward burying itself in Damon’s exposed chest and piercing through like a blade!

Bang!

A huge fist erupted from Damon’s back while his right hand was still raised in an attempt to attack!

Blood gushed out of Damon’s mouth as he and the vampire stood in the middle of the battlefield with no one able to get close. The pain was not there at first but for some reason, Damon felt extremely tired, it felt like he needed to sleep urgently.

Somewhere within the battlefield, even Tristan who was charging forward stopped abruptly and looked in Damon’s direction with a stern look on his face. He wasn’t too sure about what happened but for some reason, Damon’s aura vanished alongside the purple energy wolf.

“There is no way he would die like this right?” Tristan muttered with a frown.

Currently, he was surrounded by enemies too, changing the direction of his charge would ruin the formation and put them in a disadvantaged position! He couldn’t afford to do that.

Meanwhile, Damon watched as the vampire pulled his fist out of his chest, and only then did his body finally move!

His strong legs quickly crumbled and he fell to the ground without any resistance! His vision was blurry and his eyes heavy, once again Death appeared to him but this time, Death sat beside his fallen body and gazed at the back of the vampire responsible for Damon’s death with a sad sigh.

[If you paid attention to me, this wouldn’t have happened… if only you always pay attention to your true strengths… you will never have to die such a gruesome death again… Just pay attention now there is still hope!] Death said with a hint of worry in his voice.

While his words sounded nonsensical it was necessary for him to maintain the rules. He couldn’t directly tell Damon what to do so he had to use this method. Damon can be considered talented and has a bright mind. He plans and plots properly if given enough preparation time, leading him to situations where he has to trust his plans over his strength.

What he said was completely true. While Damon has the death magic, his impression of his power has always been negative, causing his mind to subconsciously suppress his strength.

The same goes for the werewolf curse on him.

The death magic and the werewolf curse are two things Damon never wanted so it wasn’t too shocking he isn’t too eager to use its power and no one blamed him for that but this will definitely end in his death if it is allowed to continue this way.

At this point, all Damon could do now, is deal with his resentment for his major sources of strength or end up dead here on a nameless battlefield!
