Paragon of Death

280 Chapter 279: A deal that cannot be refused

‘I guess I really can’t harm him without completely erasing him but I need him alive for now’ thoughts rang in Damon’s mind but his face remained perfectly indifferent.

He gazed at this kid with cold eyes. In his opinion, this child had enough greed to summon him so he can be manipulated properly but it would be dangerous to play around with someone like this. His condition now reminds him of the position Sol and the guardian spirits were placed in. They could only advise and rarely interfere with things happening around them.

As the God of death, even as a consciousness, he came with a lot of advantages. The reason he was even able to manifest through Cecile this time was the negative emotions from Adras and other students present.

As the former god of death, he gained from things like this but then the gain isn’t much but it will slowly build this boy.

A god cannot reside in the body of a mortal but now he is too weak, the body will naturally adjust as his strength grows to make it strong enough to house his power. Which is directly strengthening the kid and putting himself at risk.

Only a swordsman would deeply fear death by the sword because he knows the horrors attached to it.

He was once in this kid’s position and he managed to come out on top of it all. This kid possessed the same greed as him and he is smart as well. I’m Damon’s eyes, mortals are more dangerous than gods.

“There are oppositions and resistances remaining… people who still preach my word. What are they?” Damon asked abruptly, catching Cecile off guard.

He saw the thoughtful look on Damon’s face and he instantly knew this was an important matter.

.....

But what did he mean by what they are?

His eyes soon widened with realization as he understood Damon’s words.

“They are a cult made of normal people but rumors are they implore the help of supernatural beings to help them…. That’s why they have been able to resist the church and last this long.” Cecile explained and Damon smiled.

Revealing a crazed grin that sent shivers down his spine.

“It’s nice to know my dark army still remains. If there are still supernatural beings amongst them then Armanthos must still be alive! As long as he is still alive then everything will be alright” Damon said with a rare smile on his face.

It felt like a heavy burden as left his body as he realized the possibility of still having a reliable ally.

Suddenly his eyes shone with dangerous lights as he shifted his strange gaze to Cecile.

“Have you heard of an offer that cannot be refused?” Damon asked.

“What do I gain out of this offer?” Cecile asked calmly.

Decisive!

Damon’s eyes flashed with cruel lights and his green widened to the point his stretched lips nearly reached his ears, giving him an extremely terrifying look that sent the kid staggering back.

“You will be selling your soul to the devil but in return, your family will survive the chaos about to befall this world,” Damon said with a cruel smile.

He wanted to see how decisive this kid can be!

“Excuse me?” Cecile was stunned by the fact offer. He was expecting reaches or power but this way he wasn’t gaining anything at least not physically.

“Kid… Damon Ross, the God of death has awakened thanks to you…. If you reveal this matter you will be punished. I can just move to another body when your entire family gets executed because of your curiosity. Regardless. I will return and set this world on fire one last time and this time I will win. I won’t fall for such silly tricks again. You can either be on the winning team or die off like the rest” Damon’s words boomed as it felt like an imposing aura descended from the heavens falling on Cecile.

He was simply saying, whether you help me or not, I will have my revenge. The only difference is that his family will be safe.

Heh!

Cecile laughed bitterly. He was a fool to think he could bargain with a god. Even after reading about Damon’s exploits, he should have already known the nature of this deity. He was overbearing and direct.

He was more of a tyrant than a god.

“It’s not like I have a choice. The fact you took over my body earlier means you can kill me as well. So stop making it seem like you are giving me a choice” Cecile said.

“For a mortal, you are quite smart” Damon commended him and almost instantly he woke up!

Huff!

Cecile woke up but he couldn’t speak or move, it felt like his mind has awoken but the body was still asleep. Surrounding his bed was his father, mother, and Elka. They all wore nasty looks on their faces.

“Even if he is from the Garret family, we can’t let them get away with this” Lady Anna wept in a low tone while Robert consoled her.

“Don’t worry ma’am, Cecile stood up for himself and fought back. Adras was terrified and fell on his butt” Elka said with determined big eyes which were cute for someone her age.

“He did?” Robert widened with surprise since he never thought Cecile was the combative type.

Neither has he shown interest in learning martial arts or joining the military.

“Yes! He was so cool! He broke his wrist by blocking a blow from Adras. He just stood up and popped it back into position as if nothing happened. Everyone is going crazy for him right now!” Elka got more excited while telling the story.

Lady Anna stopped weeping and began listening attentively. She and Robert were shocked by the things the little girl was saying because it didn’t at all sound like something Cecile would do.

Has this kid been hiding a secret part of his life from them?

If he is as good as she says, his career in the military will definitely be a successful one! The influence and power of the Allen family will rise if that happens!
