Paragon of Death

111 Chapter 110: Terrible miscalculation!

“Because the living is the only one I can live in.... The world you wish to create is not one which I choose to be a part of! I am not a monster” Damon said decisively as he stopped his advance and gazed at the being in the skies.

Fool!

Boom!

Lightning struck as rage seemed to be overwhelmed by rage. Bolts of lightning rained down but even then Damon remained unmoved as he gazed at the face in the clouds with complete confidence in his eyes. As long as things played out as planned he had nothing to fear!

“Do you think the living and the dead can ever live together in harmony? Do you know how long I have tried? They fear us so they can never let us live in peace! Since that is the case, I will annihilate them all!” The voice boomed and Damon frowned in response.

“Hmph! I would like to see you try it! As long as I stand, you will not have your way!” Damon declared coldly as his voice resounded across the battlefield.

“Foolish child... since you have chosen this path I will let you understand the consequences of your actions. See for yourself what you wish to protect!” The voice boomed and after that the massive cloud face vanished, bringing back peace and quiet to the battlefield.

As soon as the face vanished Damon was swamped by immense killing intentions coming from all sides of the battlefield. The forces of the vampire seemed to be withdrawing and slowly Damon could see the human forces surrounding his own.

They were slowly organizing themselves!

.....

[Damon!] A panicked voice rang in his head but he remained silent with a stern look on his face.

When making his plans, Damon considered the possibility of the allied forces turning on him but that should have been after the great battle with the blood clan. Never in his wildest dreams did he think the blood clan would retreat and leave him alone with these people.

With that, his forces were only over a hundred thousand while the enemy had over seven hundred thousand soldiers or so. If these people decide to take his life, he definitely won’t be able to resist for long!

“I gravely miscalculated!” Damon panicked for the first time in his life.

Within the bone armor, he was extremely pale and he struggled greatly just to maintain his cool in front of the enemy!

“DEATH MAGE! I WILL HAVE YOU DIE HERE!”A furious bellow reached the skies!

Grrrrr!

Suddenly the clouds parted as a mighty white energy wolf claw descended from above, covering the entire sky! Seeing this level of attack, Damon paled as he sensed a familiar aura!

Duke Hail!

Boom!

Over five hundred meters of land was affected by the attack, leaving behind a deep crater. As soon as the attack was over, countless darkish purple energy surged, taking the shape of all the undead troops affected by the attack.

At the rear of the army, Damon slowly slithered out from the shadow of one of his undead soldiers.

Bang!

His bone armor shattered as he fell to his knees and spat out a mouthful of blood. He wasn’t directly hit by the attack but the pressure alone left him in such a bad state!

The power of a spirit realm level being is far more terrifying than he expected.

[You have to leave! Now!] Death’s concerned tone boomed in his head, but Damon could only remain on his knees while laughing, revealing his teeth drenched in blood.

“It’s already too late!” Damon said with a bitter look as he gazed at the imposing figure standing right in front of him.

It was Duke Hail who wore a complicated look on his face while gazing at Damon’s bloodied face.

“Damon...” Duke Hail muttered in disbelief.

Just like Duke Hail every other person was shocked as well. No one expected the general who led them into battle to be the death mage people fear so much. Tristan and Dennis, who were supported by some soldiers, were stunned at the revelation as well.

Not only were they defeated by the death mage but they were defeated by Damon! The youth who is meant to be their junior!

This will forever be a great shame to them!

Before picking Damon, they conducted so many tests in hopes of forcing him to use the death magic since he was a suspect but that never happened. Duke Hail had completely accepted Damon as a part of his family and was willing to protect him with his life. Realizing he was the death mage was not something he could process quickly.

“Why? Why kill me? Haven’t I proven my loyalty? Haven’t I contributed enough? Even now I was forced to reveal my true power, I did it to protect our people! The fucking humans and the allied army! Yet you do not hesitate to take a swing at me?” Damon said as tears welled up in his eyes while looking at the imposing figure.

Everything he had done so far was for these people, everything he has been doing is to protect them, yet they turned against him the moment the opponent was gone.

How could they be so cruel and insensitive?

“Damon... I...” Duke Hail was rendered speechless.

He wanted to speak but he didn’t know what to say because nothing made sense. He tried to put things together but he couldn’t.

What pissed him off the most is that he never saw the signs!

Just like Damon said he has done nothing wrong. In the past, he simply obeyed the kingdom and helped them kill the former death mage. He was told the death mages are dangerous and the most ruthless amongst the other guardian spirits. But after mingling with Damon for so long he couldn’t believe such reports. Especially since he has been watching Damon from a distance for a long time now and he knows the kind of person Damon is!

While they should be thanking him, they were preparing to take his life!

How could he not feel disturbed?
