Paragon of Death

118 Chapter 117: Cunning Damon

Brrrr!

Damon was surrounded by fierce darkish green flames as power surged around him. His eyes turned pitch black and his shadow spread like a disease, covering the entire mountain!

Shadow magic: Shadow realm!

Xiu!

Immediately the army charging down the mountain felt like they had fallen into quicksand, greatly restricting their movements! Shadow hands emerged from beneath, grabbing onto their legs and in a single instant, thousands of soldiers were pinned!

Kill!

More kept charging from other sides, racing towards them. To deal with this Damon revealed a disdainful gaze as he slammed his hand into his chest, stunning everyone present! Even the vampires began to slow down as they saw the scene!

Many wondered if Damon had gone crazy and had decided to take his life, even Kaido was stunned. He couldn’t help but wonder what would happen to him if Damon dies but after thinking about it for a while he realized the grave mistake he was about to make.

If Damon was to die from that wound, these two skeleton guards won’t be here anymore!

.....

Puff!

Damon pulled out his heart and squeezed it, crushing it and allowing the blood to pour out in front of everyone. His eyes revealed his cruel intentions as they turned blood red and the blood flowing out paused in mid-air!

“Blood magic: Blood sea!” Damon growled

Bam!

Suddenly the amount of blood which was released seemed to start revolving around Damon like a wheel. Soon the blood of everyone he has killed so far surged forward, adding to the blood sea, and soon a surging sea of blood could be seen hovering over a thousand meters around Damon and his disciple, combining it with the shadow realm, reaching Damon would be a difficult thing.

With that taken care of, Damon suddenly sat on the floor in a cross-legged position and did nothing. He flicked his fingers and the skeleton warriors brought Kaido to him, making him sit beside Damon.

“Master?” Kaido asked as he occasionally stole glances at the gaping wound on Damon’s chest. He wanted to show concern but then he noticed the wound was closing at a visible rate.

“It is one of the core inheritances of the death mage. We call it the immortal body. I cannot be killed, unless you can damage my soul directly” Damon said calmly, refusing to reveal his weakness to anyone so he just came up with that excuse.

Knowing fully well that it’s almost impossible to find a cultivation technique that affects the soul, he just decided to use it.

“I see... so what now? There are far too many of them!” Kadio said as his eyes showed a hint of worry but Damon casually shook his head.

“What do you think is the core law of the death magic?” Damon asked.

“I- I don’t know?” Kaido said with an embarrassed look on his face.

“All good things must come to an end. Anything can change at any moment but Death doesn’t. It comes for us all, be it mere humans or self-proclaimed immortals like these blood suckers... no matter who you are or what you are, when death arrives, it will take you away. No one is truly invincible! Only death is absolute!” Damon said calmly with his cold gaze on the countless foes trying to reach them.

“Now death is here, do you really think any of them can escape their fate?” Damon said in response to the doubt in Kaido’s mind.

Hearing this Kaido could only lower his head in shame, not daring to look Damon in the face.

Ssssssssh!

Pa!

Damon’s hands clasped together as his eyes revealed a green flash and a massive black magic array appeared above the clouds.

Death magic: Accursed gate of the underworld!

Upon hearing that word the entire battlefield turned silent and no one dared move again. In fact, some began taking steps back out of fear.

This was the same move Damon used when he fought against the world’s forces. Sacrificing the souls of hundreds of thousands was just needed to summon this gate and another hundred thousand to open it!

They were dealt a heavy blow by it the first time, so seeing it again terrified them. Their reaction was completely understandable. Even Kaido was shaken by this but didn’t dare move. He had already gotten on Damon’s bad side by doubting his strength. Fleeing from his master now would be an even greater crime.

“I would like to see who dares face me under these circumstances!” Damon sneered coldly as he reverted to his human form.

Using the demon-kin technique allows him to summon the demons of the underworld and rely on their strength.

Now, he was sure the enemy would be reluctant to fight, and a cruel smile appeared on Damon’s face.

Rise!

His shadow was already covering the entire mountain, from it, those who had died already by his hands began to rise.

Puff!

Bam!

Bang!

Immediately the counterattack began! His undead soldiers were just a few thousand now but with each person killed their numbers kept rising steadily! With the shadow realm technique cast, these vampires had their movements restricted greatly plus the fact they had lost their will to fight put them in a disadvantaged position.

“Run or he will kill us all!”

No one knew who screamed that but everyone seemed to agree with the vampire and they all turned their backs to flee!

Now....

Damon’s eyes revealed a hint of disdain as his aura exploded from his body spreading across the mountain! From it, countless wolf-shaped aura beasts were created and the counterattack began!

“Kill them all!” Damon growled!

Kaido remained seated beside Damon’s feet as he watched with horror in his eyes while remembering Damon’s words.

“A battle is only lost when you show the enemy your back!”

Now that the vampires were less disorganized and eager to flee, they were getting butchered at a much faster rate. With the shadow realm slowing them down, it became even faster.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The aura wolves exploded as soon as they came in range of the enemy, killing numerous people in one go! Each aura wolf could take down at least ten vampires at a go but Damon was still able to keep producing them almost indefinitely.

What stunned Kaido was that he knew the only way to kill vampires was either to sever their heads or destroy their hearts with a stake. Yet every casual fatal attack landed on them would kill them instantly, making Kaido believe this was only possible because of Damon’s death magic.

Damon never had the intention of summoning the gate of the underworld here. Its power was still far too strong for him to control, in the end, Kaido would be affected. What he wanted to do was instill fear and break their will to fight.

On the battlefield morale was everything!

“What are you doing on the floor? It’s time for the final phase of my invasion to take place!” Damon said indifferently at Kaido who was still sitting.

Flick!

Death magic: Bone armor!

Creation pathway: Bone horse!

Damon was soon engulfed in a bright light and when it was gone, Damon was covered in his intimidating bone armor.

Flick!

With a flick of his fingers, all the corpses began shivering as bone breaking sounds could be heard. Like a horror movie, Kaido watched as the bones of these people were forcefully pulled out of the countless bodies present, slowly forming a bone horse!

Snap!

Damon snapped his fingers and more bones surged forward, forming a bone armor on Kadio but his face was still exposed like that of Damon.

“I mastered the creation and destruction pathway! I will be the man who will destroy this world and create a new one!” Damon sensed the questions in Kaido’s mind and answered accordingly.

He jumped on his bone horse and pulled Kaido up and revealed a cruel smile!

Damon raised his hand and a bone sword formed in his hand and just by raising it his undead army stopped chasing the enemy and sank into the shadow beneath them, resurfacing in front of Damon!

In just a few seconds an organized army of close to fifty thousand men appeared in an orderly fashion, stunning Kaido. Although his village didn’t have cultivators he had seen numerous cultivators traveling. Every one of them had outstanding power but Damon’s strength was godly!

He had never seen someone capable of manipulating the world and its powers with simple gestures! Damon could be considered the most powerful person he has seen with his actions rivaling the great feats of the current leaders of the four great kingdoms or even surpassing them.

Which of the four great kings have been able to stand against an army that could cover the skies and fight them off dying like Damon is doing, talk less of Damon who hasn’t even taken a hit from them!

“Before the end of today.... This mountain will become our new home, our kingdom! That will surpass the four great kingdoms!” Damon declared coldly!
