Paragon of Death

Chapter 49: Chapter 48: A gift!

“Do you need help buddy?” Gin said with a cruel smile while his hand slowly slithered towards his sword as he spoke but Damon shook his head in refusal.

“I alone am more than enough to deal with them. You don’t have to get involved” Damon declared fiercely but deep down he felt a bit anxious.

While he was holding back and is yet to use magic, he could tell the duo are holding back as well. In fact, a huge portion of their strength is yet to be displayed and this made him a bit anxious. In honesty, he wasn’t afraid, he was more excited than afraid. The battle between fighters is far more exhilarating than that of a mage.

The short exchange between the three of them made him extremely excited.

“How the hell does he have it all? Even amongst fighters, only one in a hundred are born with unique physical attributes!” The male student growled in anger as he tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword but the female fighter asked him to stop with a wave of her hand.

“While he may already have the magic elements, he is still the son of Daniel Ross. The Ross family may be lacking in reputation when compared to our Vincent family but they are still superb fighters. It’s not too farfetched for him to be blessed by the gods with this power. I only find it amusing that he held back on the Luthor Wright... I am sure the lad is fuming in hell right now. Just chill out, Donald” The female fighter laughed. She was genuinely more amused than annoyed.

” Diana, let’s take this to the next level” Donald said as he began circling Damon from the right while Diana moved towards the left.

.....

The atmosphere was tense as people watched what may be called a historic battle between two fighters chosen and a single mage chosen! The reputation of both academies was on the line, especially since this was not a battle between two normal students.

Damon stood like a towering figure with a slight frown on his face. The aura coming off these two was quite different from what it was before. It was obvious they planned on putting in more effort than before!

Martial arts: Agility!

Both fighters’ eyes lit up with power as they raced forward at a more astonishing speed! Their body released some steam as they ran their mana across their body, reinforcing their body while improving their movement speeds!

Peng!

The duo blitzed past Damon but their blades did not reach his clothes which made them frown. Damon stood with his hands clasped together and a sphere of wind surging around him. Using mere wind manipulation to create a sphere of wind around him, Damon just poured in a staggering amount of mana into it, to create a barrier strong enough to block attacks of fighters!

“Let’s see how you handle this!” Donald growled as his blade lit up

Martial arts: Consecutive strikes!

Donald and Diana swung their weapons at Damon’s wind sphere. As their hands moved, after images of their attacks were created, bombarding the wind sphere without hesitation!

Peng!

Peng!

The wind sphere exploded just at the right time and the duo was sent staggering back with a shocked expressions on their faces! They watched Damon who was standing in between abruptly retreat instead of continuing with the assault especially since he has the advantage.

Thud!

Damon slid back, standing barely ahead of Gin and the others. He slowly raised his right hand in the air and his finger pointing towards the clouds!

Chi!

Brrr!

Fire flames formed at the tip of his finger with wind surging into it dangerously. Everyone watched in horror as he combined the two elements to create a sphere of fire and wind! With more mana surging into it, the sphere kept growing at an alarming rate, making the Vincent duo frown. No one should be able to use combination magic within their first year in the academy!

It is unheard of!

“We have a task to deal with and can’t afford to waste any more time with you guys... It was fun while it lasted. Try not to die” Damon said the last part with a sweet smile as he threw his hand forward and the sphere of fire and wind which was half Damon’s size by now, flew forward but it wasn’t heading for Diana. Instead, it was heading for the slowest amongst the duo.

Donald!

You!

Donald wanted to move but he felt his shadow latched on to it and pinning him to the floor! He could break free but he simply didn’t have the time to, when a powerful attack was heading his way!

“DAMON ROSS!!!!” He growled as he raised his weapon and a fierce aura exploded from his body as the two clashed!

His body skidded back as his great sword was hot red while he struggled with the attack!

Brother!

Diana appeared by his side with a black aura surging from her dagger and she struck forward without hesitation!

Peng!

A powerful shockwave erupted as the siblings stood against the combination attack and struggled fiercely! With the terrifying amount of mana poured into the attack, the duo needed to join hands just not to get blown away!

While this happened, Damon and the team had already gotten on the carriage escaping into the distance.

“And this is goodbye” Damon said with a calm look in his eyes as he snapped his fingers and the unexpected happened!

............

“This!” Donald muttered as he felt the spell become unstable.

Diana also wore a grave look on her face the moment she realized something was wrong! Her eyes revealed fear and anxiety as only one thought kept screaming in her head!

“It’s going to explode!”

BOOM!

..........

“WOOOOOOOW!”

Gin’s head was stuck outside the window of the carriage as he gazed at the massive explosion that occurred over there and couldn’t help but scream.

“Not only did you save face by leaving, but you gave them a parting gift, nice!” Gin said with a thumbs up!
