Paragon of Death-Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Chapter 43: Terrifying death magic

The carriage stopped a good distance away from the cave and they had to walk for five minutes plus before they could find the cave. It was located in a densely forested area, with numerous skulls hung on three branches! It was obvious these goblins have been ignored for a long time now, that is why they are so gutsy when decorating their base.

Surprisingly no one was found at the entrance so they walked in casually. At this point, Damon noticed the rest were lagging behind and he knew why. No one wanted to be near him when he used the death magic, but that didn’t mean they planned on staying too far either. They were also excited since they all want to see the power of death which is rumored to be terrifying.

The cave was spacious and deep and not too far from the entrance a few goblins could be seen laying flat on their bellies, stuffed. Fresh meat was still grilling under the campfires, the arrival of the humans was unexpected so many reacted too late.

Immediately Damon saw them a darkish purple magic circle appeared below his feet and a massive eye appeared. His eyes turned blood red as a fierce diabolic aura exploded from his body, spreading across the cave, and behind Damon was a bright golden light from Cyrus, preventing his aura from going beyond this cave’s walls!

The goblins quickly sprang on their feet and raced forward but a strange grin bloomed on Damon’s face as his hands flew forward and darkish purple flames burst out, consuming a good number of goblins.

Kwak!

The goblins cried out as they retreated in a bid to avoid the flames but fiery spears shot through the flames and quickly pierced through the skull of the goblins!.

.....

Damon stood with his hands folded across his chest. On his face were black cracks spreading all the way from his eyes.

“Rise!” Damon said with a voice that overlapped with numerous voices. If one listened carefully, they would hear Luthor Wright’s voice!

Upon speaking those words, his death aura shot out of his body and right in front of everyone, three undead warriors but unlike normal necromancy, this wasn’t made out of mere bones, instead, it was purely made with aura. With the darkish purple aura used to create the three undead, it would be difficult to identify any of them if it wasn’t for their size and form!

“Luthor Wright, the orc scout, and a fox?” Gin was momentarily stunned by what he saw.

Normal necromancy would require corpses or bones but that of Damon was created purely out of mana!

“Go!” Damon ordered in a detached voice and instantly the fox spirit and the orc scout sprang into the front lines while Luthor wright stayed behind and murmured some ancient words before slapping the ground and two skeleton swordsmen emerged, dashing forward! 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

“Follow” Damon ordered those behind him in a cold tone as he began walking forward. His aura spread as undead goblins were created.

With each goblin cut down a new undead goblin formed. The orc scout and undead fox spirit were like an unstoppable spear, bulldozing through the small goblins, without giving them the chance to fight back.

Meanwhile, undead Luthor Wright led the way into the deeper parts of the cave with undead goblins and bone skeletons surrounding him and his team like bodyguards.

“This is quite convenient. With this side of him, we can never lose a single battle” Klien said with strange energy in his eyes. When gazing at Damon, he wasn’t terrified or scared. Instead, he gazed at Damon as if he were gazing at a family member.

Meanwhile, Gin and Cyrus were disturbed a bit. What they expected to be a fierce and thrilling battle was now a one-sided slaughter. No matter the number of goblins coming their way, they were all cut down and added to the undead army!

Gazing at this current Damon, he looked far different from before. It felt like it wasn’t the same person anymore. Now they understood why other guardian spirit hosts always took the initiative to join forces and battle the guardian spirit host of death whenever they got the chance. The power of death is just too terrifying!

“I am still Damon Ross... You don’t have to be afraid” Damon said in a cold and eerie tone making them jump in fear.

Could he read memories now?

“I can feel negative emotions... I can sense your fear that is why I said I am still Damon... I guess using this power strips me of my emotions and makes me a logical killing machine... I guess it’s necessary since death is unique” Damon’s voice trailed off as he spoke. It felt like he was speaking to them and he wasn’t speaking to them at the same time.

After that no one spoke anymore as they moved in silence. The only sounds that could be heard were sounds of Goblins dying. Soon they were surrounded by a small force of about twenty goblins, most spearmen and a few goblin slingers who use stones.

They soon reached the bottom of the cave where they saw two goblins left. One wore a skull on its head with many bones stringed across its neck like a necklace, meanwhile the other was just like any other goblin but bigger and much more muscular! It was over 6ft tall with a rusty war ax in its hands.

It was the goblin shaman and the Goblin warlord!

The two gazed at the undead army with defiant looks in their eyes but they dared not approach. They knew a fierce battle would soon erupt and they would have to claw their way through!

“Keep them safe...” Damon’s voice broke the silence.

The small army surrounding them parted as he walked forward at a slow and steady pace while gazing at two goblins as if he was looking at corpses. He snapped his fingers as darkish purple flame blazed around , creating a circle around him and the enemies.
