Chapter 94
94 Chapter 93: Servant lineage!
An unknown amount of time passed and Damon remained the same in his room. He had taken some of his dinner but his cold gaze was pinned on the dish served and a frown slowly emerged on his face. He realized his food was drugged and meant to weaken him. The entire event of this monthly training session was meant to break him down and reconstruct him into a better version of himself.
He remained on his bed for what seemed the entire night and slowly the sun began to rise again. The bright lights penetrated his room through the window and Damon’s eyes yanked open. He had experienced this once before, he won’t experience this again.
Clank!
The room door yanked open and a lady in a house help attire brought in another tray of food and kept it on the desk. Her cold gaze turned to the figure seated on the bed like an ancient statue and she frowned. Her hands seemed to make some unexpected movements but Damon’s words brought her back to reality.
“You are my next opponent?” Damon slowly opened his eyes which seemed to lack every form of emotion.
“This...” the lady muttered with a frown. Neither agreeing with Damon’s words nor rejecting.
“I see...” Damon muttered as he shut his eyes once again.
Swoosh!
Instantly the lady jumped back and from her clothes, a Grimoire flew out! Catching Damon’s attention. He saw the grimoire flip open, flipping from page to page as a dangerous aura engulfed the woman in question!
.....
A fountain of water surged from the Grimoire, surging out like a ride, threatening to drown anything within the room! Seeing this, Damon’s face turned cold as his aura exploded!
His eyes revealed the fury in his heart as flames surged around him fiercely, threatening to consume the entire room!
The two stood at two different parts of the room with their power surging dangerously, completely unable to reach the other.
“Has Damon become so irrelevant, that even an old housemaid dares to fight him?” Damon snorted disdainfully as the wind began surging around him, merging with the flames and growing stronger!
The lady’s face paled as the wind and flames poured into each other violently, slowly merging while gathering more power, soon the entire room was so hot that even with the body of water, things in the room were set ablaze!
Only after the massive ball of flame and wind had reached a certain level did, Damon’s eyes yank open and a fierce explosion erupted.
Boom!
From the thick smoke, the lady staggered out with a pale look on her face. She didn’t expect Damon to strike at that moment! While she staggered away, she could feel the footsteps following her from behind, making her frown.
The maid turned furiously with the intention of battling Damon, only to see him standing with countless wolves created from his flames. Even the wind surging around him like a tornado had a pair of darkish purple eyes within them. Damon was just giving life to all his spells, putting in the consciousness of the sired souls in his possession to good use!
Splash!
The maid’s grimoire let out a bright blue glow as more water surged from the unknown and slowly began to surround her, bolts of lightning began surging as well, making Damon frown partially. He may not be terrified of the water but the lightning was something else entirely.
Damon wanted to speak on this but he didn’t talk. He silently gazed at the mage with a deadly calm look on his face.
“Show me the kind of pathway you have” Damon finally spoke up as images of the countless silver swords surrounding him and the silver knight he fought the other day filled his mind. Deep down he had wanted to continue that battle till the end. He wanted to know who is superior to the other.
Unfortunately, the Archmage came in and stopped it mid way. Hopefully, such a thing will not repeat itself today!
“Go!” Damon’s eyes narrowed and immediately countless fire wolves lunged forward without hesitation!
The battle had begun!
“Exploding water waves!” The maid suddenly growled as water exploded around her, surging dangerously!
Twice as much as usual!
Detonate!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Countless explosions rocked the entire corridor but none reached the maid. Her water element seemed extremely useful against Damon’s fire!
Damon stood as steam surged around the corridor, gathering so much that it was difficult to see the other person’s figure! His nose twitched as Damon prepared to dive into battle with his werewolf strength but then what seemed like a bolt of lightning, pierced through the steam and into Damon’s shoulders!
Blood squirted out from the hole, leaving Damon stunned as his face turned pale like a sheet of paper!
Thump!
Thump!
Sounds of water dropping filled the corridor as both combatants remained silent. Damon’s face twisted as he noticed the small body of water spreading across the tight corridor and he quickly jumped off the ground and into the air!
Bang!
Lighting surged through the water that had covered the entire floor but Damon was already gone. His body hung by the side of the wall as he allowed his claws to dig in, to keep him held up in mid-air. His eyes flickered as a fierce wind storm surges around him, sending a powerful shockwave across the corridor, wiping the room full of steam clean.
What Damon saw next, left him frowning.
“As far as I am concerned there are far more capable people who deserve the chance you were given and you threw it all away! Do you think I would need a pathway to deal with, you?'” the maid said with a hint of disdain in her tone.
The reason for her hatred for Damon was something no one knew of. Either way, no one cared.
“Let me show you what a real pathway looks like” the lady said coldly as lightning began surging around her, slowly taking the shape of some sort of armor.
Damon’s eyes narrowed as the lady gained lightning boots, claws, and armor! Her eyes lit up with bright blue bolts of lightning power. Many always believed a pathway should be something huge and flashy and yes, there are pathways like that but the truth remains that a real pathway can just be a minor change to one’s spells which can tip the scale of battle easily.
Katherine has served the royal family all her life. She and her family have dedicated their lives to the service of the royal family but Kathrine wanted far more than what her family has been content with.
She stood by the side and watched the Hail deliberate with the son of heaven on who to replace the holes left in their family and she sincerely wanted to be that person. This was her chance to prove to the son of heaven and every other person that she can be more than they think!
Her pathway allowed her to assume the properties of her elements, applying them to herself! While it didn’t sound like much it was a lot and Damon knew it. Instantly he felt the threat of death from this lady who wasn’t even a member of the royal knights, making him frown!
Who would have thought a hidden monster would be his next opponent?
Xiu!
A bolt of lightning flashed as Katherine’s figure appeared in front of him! Time seemed to have paused for Damon as Kathrine reached and stabbed forward with her bare open palm!
Bang!
Damon barely moved his head in time to dodge the attack that threatened to take his life. As soon as he dodged his body instinctively raised its hands and a flash of lightning surged before his figure was seen thrown airborne!
Shit!
Bam!
Damon smashed into a nearby wall and spat out a mouthful of blood while lightning surged across his body, giving him a paralyzing effect. His eyes yanked open wide with shock, as he saw Katherine jump forward, turning into a bolt of lightning and racing towards Damon!
His healing factor saved him from the wounds and burns but his joints were still too stiff. Paralyzes with lightning!
“Impudent!” Damon growled in rage as his body was consumed by wind, surging dangerously!
Swooosh!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Explosions rocked the entire place as Damon remained seated in the center of the strong gust of wind, preventing the bolts of lightning from penetrating! After what seemed like a few seconds of struggle, Damon’s eyes let out a light flash as his claws flashed and shot forward, releasing a powerful wave of darkish purple aura in the shape of claws, piercing deep into the bolts or lightning!
Arrrrgh!
A pained cry could be heard as the bolt of lightning gathered and returned to Katherine’s figure! Blood squirted out the claw-shaped gash on her chest and she staggered back rapidly with a deadly pale look on her face!
Her cold gaze was on Damon who slowly got to his feet with the darkish purple aura surging around him.
