Paragon of Death-Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Chapter 44: Death is Absolute

“Do you think you can fight back? Do you really think you have a chance at surviving?” Damon asked those two questions as he walked forward without fear.

The others could only stand back and watch him with a calm look on their faces!

Roar!

The goblin warlord growled as it raced forward, swinging its war ax at Damon fiercely! Seeing this the goblin shaman quickly spoke some strange words as a goblin-sized fireball emerged in front of it and raced towards Damon!

“CHILDS PLAY” Damon commented dryly as he raised his hand and slapped the fireball away! allowing the goblin warlord to strike his shoulder at his shoulder with the war ax!

Peng!

A loud sound erupted as the goblin was thrown back as his ax hit something solid! Gazing at Damon, everyone could see a fierce looking man in white exoskeleton armor!

.....

“Death magic: Bone armor!” Damon said with a cruel smile!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

More balls of fire raced forward and rained down on Damon from numerous angles while the goblin warlord struck repeatedly but none could put a scratch on his bone armor! f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Damon ignored the attacks and raised his hand! He stayed in that position for seconds but nothing happened while he was getting attacked, making people wonder if something wrong occurred but then they heard a slithering sound.

No, it wasn’t a slithering sound, it was more like the sound of rushing water.

But how can water be found here?

The smell, this isn’t water! It was blood!

The red blood rushed in like two streams and smashed into the two goblins, sending them flying to the wall before circling around Damon.

“Blood magic: Blood control” Damon said coldly.

His hands raised as he pointed towards the direction of the two goblins and a magic array appeared beneath them! 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

“Curse magic: Greater wounds” Damon said coldly as the small bruises all over their bodies began tearing open slowly on their own, worsening their condition in seconds!

“Bone magic: Death’s embrace!” Damon said as he stomped his feet on the ground and bone arms emerged from below holding on to the feet of the enemy!

They struggled fiercely but they couldn’t break free from the bone hands. The wounds on their bodies opened up a lot more and even the blood streams kept lashing at them like whips, filling the cave with their painful cries.

It was a cruel way to go!

“Death magic encompasses all forms of dark magic... Gives me a wider range of abilities to use. When used by others it makes them terrifying foes, but when used by me it makes me the absolute” Damon said with a terribly dull face. He didn’t seem to be talking to anyone at all, just himself.

His eyes shifted towards the two struggling orcs and they soon lit up in darkish purple flames!

The torture ended with their death and they soon had an undead form of them created and added to Damon’s army.

He casually snapped his fingers and all of them turned into black smoke, rushing into his body with that the aura of death looming around him vanished and Cyrus suppressed holy aura spread forth like a beacon wiping away all traces of the death aura.

“We will have to burn the bodies in case they come to double-check .... they may not be able to see or sense the death magic but seeing the condition of those you killed they will definitely know” Cyrus said and only then did Damon look around realized they all of them have been drained. Their skins looked dry and were even breaking away. It felt like the death magic drained them of everything within.

“Wow...”

That was all Damon could say. When they asked him about how he felt using his powers, he explained it felt foreign to him. He was in control but he wasn’t in control at the same time. He was able to control his actions but his actions seemed predetermined. It was like he was destined to make this move which is obvious but he does it anyway. Like following a script.

Everyone felt even more confused by his explanations and many even found it crazy. Either way, Gin and Cyrus were even more interested in using the true power of their guardian spirits after seeing this. They all wanted to know what it actually feels like to use the power directly connected to the core of this world.

Crack!

Damon was about to say something but he suddenly felt something shatter in his mind. He didn’t know what but he felt mana surging into his body for a brief moment. When the feeling was gone he felt like the world has become clearer to him. His mana reserves felt slightly bigger than usual and his affinity to his element increased slightly again!

He finally did it!

With the souls he consumed in this cave he was able to make a breakthrough!

He is now a human level 2 mage! A being at the peak of the Amateur level of the human realm!

The others noticed this and were dumbfounded! It was too soon for Damon to break through! No one in the academy, among the freshers, is halfway near breaking through yet he has done it already.

“How is that possible?” Cyrus couldn’t help but ask with a frown.

“I have the ability to consume the souls of those who die around me. I won’t say it’s an ability since it happens automatically. I have no control over it. While their consciousness remains and that is what I use to create the undead, their soul power is used to refine my realm. I guess you can say without cultivation resources I can always grow stronger as long as I am in constant conflict... War and destruction make me stronger” Damon said but this was similar to all those moments where he is talking to everyone but also talking to only himself in a strange way.
