Paragon of Death

142 Chapter 141: Unexpected twist

Xiu!

Damon shot towards them with countless dark clouds surging towards him. His eyes were bright red like the blood moon above the heavens as he struck forward!

Kill!

Damon growled like a furious beast but his screams could only do so much!

Peng!

The black scythe was parried with the black hammer, knocking Damon off balance!

Hmph!

The black dust surged into the left hand of the old king, forming a black and which swung, forward, leaving a deep gash on Damon’s chest!

“....”

.....

Damon’s eyes narrowed as it release a green flash and the black scythe in his hands trembled violently, surging with green power.

Kill!

Boom!

A fierce green explosion shook the skies, creating shockwaves that sent ripples across the sky but even then he couldn’t even put a scratch on the body of the old king!

His scythe hung on the shoulder of the dwarf king as sparks filled the space between them. Damon looked down on the tiny man with fierce killing intentions raging in his eyes while the man gazed up your Damon’s face with obvious disdain and disgust in his eyes!

Boom!

Damon was thrown back by an unforeseen attack, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood while a bloody hole appeared on his chest. A cruel smile bloomed on his face as the whole slowly began to seal up.

“What is dead can never die! You cannot kill me” Damon laughed like a crazed man as the black cracks on his face spread past his face and down his neck.

Meanwhile....

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Cyrus and Gin fought fiercely with Brandon Bloodhammer but none could gain the advantage. The two hammers in the dwarf’s hands were rusty and smeared with blood. Each time their weapons clashed they could feel the strength of their weapons drop and the durability drop.

At a point, even the strength in their hands began dropping, making it difficult to hold on to their weapons.

“This...” Cyrus muttered with narrowed eyes.

This was the first time he was encountering something so strange. His cold gaze remained pinned on the short figure holding on to two hammers, his size with a cruel look in his eyes.

“My family has a history with the Grimhold kingdom. That’s where we learned our craft. From the little I know, the Bloodhammer family is an ancient family with a peculiar gift. They are born with their pathway which doesn’t make sense to start with. The bloodhammer pathway weakens everything it makes contact with, constantly until they lack the strength to fight back. Exchanging blows with this kind of expert would be the most difficult task they will have to face.” Gin said with a frown.

Hearing his words the look on Brandon Bloodhammer’s face twitched since he never expected someone to know much about his pathway. While it didn’t sound like much, this power is something he has been proud of all his life. With it, he had climbed to the top and suppressed all those who wished to hold him down.

“Hmph! Cute ability, but that won’t be good enough if he plans to deal with us” Cyrus snorted disdainfully as he waved his hand and a golden light surged out of his body, spreading all the way to Gin.

The fatigue and weakness they felt from trading blows with Brandon Bloodhammer vanished, causing the great general to turn pale.

Are all guardian spirit hosts this strong?

Brandon had assumed that Damon would be the biggest problem. He believed that once Damon was removed from the equation, dealing with these two warriors’ realm kids won’t be much of an issue.

But he couldn’t be more wrong!

These two were far more troublesome than Damon when he was in the warrior realm. How can two kids in the warrior realm hold down a spirit realm expert like him?

“If you wish to beat us, you will have to be more capable than this!” Cyrus snorted disdainfully as the massive guardian weapon appeared behind him, revealing a bright golden light.

Swooosh!

Kill!

Instantly the massive guardian weapon swung down ruthlessly. It was like a massive mountain, descending on a midget!

Seeing this, Brandon remained calm as his sandy brown aura exploded and he swung his blood hammers toward the sky without hesitation!

Peng!

Woosh!

A powerful shockwave erupted as the two classes and the mighty golden sword vibrated violently while letting out a shriek of pain!

Bleegh!

Cyrus shivered as he spat out a mouthful of blood. The guardian weapon was a pathway restricted to the life guardian spirit host only. It granted him the ability to create a guardian weapon that would rival foes far beyond his level but his soul was linked to this weapon. Once damaged he would share its pain as well!

Xiu!

Peng!

Gin blitzed past Brandon Bloodhammer slashing at his exposed waist with mana surging through his blade but even then his sword bounced off, making him frown!

“This again!” He growled with frustration in his eyes as he noticed the skin of the enemy had darkened.

The affinity of these dwarfs to earth and steel made them difficult opponents to deal with. With their current strength, they may never be able to break this defense!

“Chill...” Cyrus said with a strained voice from the other side of the battlefield.

A cruel smile bloomed on his face as he stood at the tip of his Guardian weapon with a cocky look on his face.

“Our goal isn’t to win... we only have to keep him pinned down till Damon kills the old king or our forces finish off theirs.. in the end, we will be the ultimate victors... no one, can stop what has begun!” Cyrus said with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

“Sighs... I just wished I could be the one to take his head...” Gin sighed bitterly.

Hearing the two converse, Brandon Bloodhammer frowned. With his current strength, he had to admit it would be near impossible to kill these two in a short amount of time. All he could hope for is that their king deals with Damon fast, if not everything is lost!

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

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

With each strike, Damon was forced to retreat and more wounds appeared on his body but his crazed smile remained and his laughter echoed across the heavens.

“EVEN IF THE GODS DESCEND, THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO SAVE YOU FROM ME! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Damon laughed like a mad man as his torn limbs regrew and his aura exploded violently.

His darkish green aura slowly faded and turned black, as well as Damon’s eyes.

Black blood began rolling down his eyes and nostrils as the old monster of the dwarf race felt the threat of death.

“All this while people have only seen the first part of the death inheritance. They all believe the immortal body is all I have but they truly fail to realize the real power of death. Congratulations old man, you will be the first to force me to use it” Damon said with a cruel grin on his face.

His hand moved in a circular motion, not too fast but not too slow. Countless afterimages of his arm followed his movements as the black aura began spreading wide and far.

“Turn everything to dust. Rot!” Damon’s eyes were like two black whirlpools, surging dangerously.

The black energy crept forward slowly but everything it moved past aged at a rapid pace. Metal weapons were reduced to dust in mere seconds and corpses were not even spared.

King Dormus saw this and his eyes turned cold. He had restricted himself from using the lightning God pathway because of Gin’s ability to steal his power but right now, it was a matter of life and death, leaving him with no choice!

Giant pathway: Lightning God Tyrant!

His body began growing once again as lightning surged violently around him.

Hmph!

Damon snorted disdainfully as the black aura took the form of a massive cloaked being with two pairs of black wings and a black scythe in its hands!

Death!

The world trembled at the two powers about to clash and even Cyrus and Gin paled at this and quickly distanced themselves from the duo. The level of this battle was far beyond their control, and it was obvious the winder would be decided in the next strike!

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

In the elven camp, Diana and Crystal sat with Isabella and other high ranking members of the Elven court all wearing stern looks on their faces. When the news came they thought it was a joke and had Elsa check but when it was confirmed they were left confused and devastated.

The three hundred thousand forces of the Grimhold kingdom were wiped out.

King Dormus and Great general Brandon Bloodhammer were slain in battle...

The death mage was gravely injured in the battle but now he had a force of over a million undying troops with countless formations from both the blood mountain and the Grimhold nation under his grasp.

This was an unexpected turn of events.
