Paragon of Death

101 Chapter 100: Unexpected twist

Swoosh!

The great general tent belonging to Duke Hail swung open as Damon stepped in. This time he wasn’t dressed in his complete armor. Just the lower half of his armor while his top half was left bare, revealing countless tattoos riddle all through his body. The air around Damon has always been heavy and with each tattoo he acquires, the feeling only got worse.

As soon as he stepped into the room was the elf princess, Elsa Leaf. Her emerald eyes captured his attention, alongside her petite yet busty body. Just as her presence caused Damon to feel disoriented, Damon’s appearance threw her off balance as well.

His arrival came with a strong stench of death which one can only acquire by personally killing a good number of people. The tattoos on his body were proof of how many people he had killed in the supernatural realm! To think a young child like Damon has been forced to kill this many at such a young age.

“In my hometown, where I come from, they claim the lone wolf is the guardian of the underworld, sent to rid this world of all evil...” Elsa said in a low tone but her voice carried certain power which made people more inclined to pay attention to her than argue

“To kill evil one must become the greater evil... I do agree that this power can only come from the depths of the underworld but it is mine to use as I see fit” Damon said to her with eyes void of emotions.

The two peered into each other’s eyes for a while and a certain spark lit up each other’s souls. It felt like true love at first sight! Damon came here with his problems in mind but right now he couldn’t help but forget it all.

If he entered a relationship with Lucy because she was gorgeous, then Elsa was something else entirely. The beauty of the elves was far more enticing than he was told.

“Can he fight?” The orc representative, Kal said in a deep tone which drew Damon’s attention.

.....

“Upon arrival, Damon led a force of twenty thousand calvaries and met the enemy forces. We suffered no loss but the enemy lost over five thousand people of which Damon is personally responsible for the death of at least a hundred” Duke Hail responded coldly and the orc nodded in understanding. His eyes which once carried disdain softened upon hearing their possible savior was a natural born fighter.

“Hmph! The child doesn’t look like much!”

Buzzz!

A strong breeze blew within the tent as Damon’s cold gaze traced the voice of town elderly dwarf, seated at one corner of the room.

“Brandon bloodhanmer... I respect your people so you will show mine respect! The first foe this child ever fought was killed by him. A human his age. The second was an orc scout at our borders. He fought one alone in its berserk form and won. Back then he was only a human level mage. He fought Kyle, a warrior realm vampire who works directly with the first bloods... Damon Ross has been a lot of things over the past few months but being weak is not one of them!” Duke Hail said in a stern and cold tone which left even Damon stunned.

He didn’t think that this old man had a strong evaluation of him. Making him wonder why the man was so nice to him. Is this a werewolf thing to watch after each other or what?

Damon was left a bit speechless but so were Bloodhammer and the other representatives. The more that was said about Damon, the more terrified of him they became.

As for the Orc, Kal his respect for Damon even rose. Hearing he defeated an orc scout at his age did not infuriate the orc as expected, instead, it raised Damon’s status in the orc’s mind.

In the land of the orcs, might is right. As long as you have enough strength, no one would pay attention to whatever you do.

“Since I’m here I guess it won’t hurt for me to know your plan of attack?” Damon asked calmly with a raised eyebrow causing the room to fall silent.

Everyone gazed at him with eyes full of reluctance and unwillingness to talk. The reason for this remains unknown but Damon had no other choice but to accept such treatments.

“You have an important job tomorrow... that’s when we attack ” Duke Hail explained and Damon frowned. He hates it when people make plans for him while he is not available. Even without being told what he must do, Damon had a bad feeling about it. His face twisted with emotions as his eyes fell on the faces of everyone in the room with his feeling of disdain spreading rapidly for everyone present.

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

The next day arrived and as early as six in the morning, everyone was standing, prepared for the attack. While sitting on his war steed, Damon wore a heavy expression as he gazed at all the twenty thousand cavalries assigned to him for the task today.

In his eyes, these twenty thousand men were no different from dead men but he had no right to complain. In the imperial army, one is expected to accept orders without hesitation or questions. They claim he is their ticket to winning yet they assign him to a mission where he is to serve as bait for the enemy forces.

“At least the students here on internship were placed amongst the reserve forces... these people are not complete monsters yet” Damon muttered while gazing at the mighty mountain with a frown on his face.

If things don’t go according to plan, this mountain may become his grave.

“Begin!” Duke Hail’s voice boomed like lightning and the entire atmosphere turned tense.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Almost instantly countless bolts from the Gyro Kingdom ballistas rained down on the mountain but strangely enough, it was not aimed at anyone in particular! Damon watched as the attacks rained down on the mountain, destroying the symbols inscribed on the floor of the mountain, triggering chains of explosions which made many pale!

“DAMON!” Duke Hail’s voice rang out like an alarm.

Huff!

Damon exhaled deeply as he gazed up the mountain and his eyes were pinned on the black clouds surrounding the mountain and hiding the enemy forces from view.

Xiu!

His eyes let out darkish purple light as his horse dashed forward without hesitation.

“CHARGE!!!!” Damon cried out as he chased after his small force of twenty thousand soldiers racing up the mountain.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Sounds of war drums filled the air as the other forces surrounding the mountain began making strange movements in preparation for their attack. Everyone gazed at Damon’s small force pushing forward and frowned. To win this, they need to rely on Damon who is the lone wolf as bait.

As long as the enemy can focus most of their forces on dealing with Damon, they can launch a counterattack from another side and overwhelm them!

“Everything depends on your performance, little one.... For the enemy to take you seriously, you have to give them a reason to!” Duke Hail muttered as he watched Damon lead his troops up the mountain with a concerned look on his face.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Damon led a team of twenty thousand expert Calvary. All having base cultivation of the warrior realm at the very least.

“Go forth. Destroy him!” Suddenly an aged voice erupted from the peak of the mountain and almost instantly a wave of strong breeze blew across the mountain, clearing the black clouds and revealing the army hiding within it.

Fuck!

Damon and his army had their speed reduced gradually until they were no longer moving. Their eyes were on the sea of enemies above, each filled with countless beasts. The army was a combination of all the races that can be found on the continent, mixed with all forms of magic beasts that can be found in the world today!

“Bloody hell...” Damon muttered in shock while gazing at the sea of enemies above, causing his face to pale.

All this while he has been thinking he is the one that needs to save the blood clan never did it occur to him that he would be the one in need of saving!

“Did you think my blood clan would just sit and watch you try to destroy us for a second time?” The aged chilled voice rang across the battlefield, sending fear down the hearts of all those who heard it.

Bang!

Damon felt a pair of ancient eyes descend on him. The eyes bore through his body, piercing into his soul and going even deeper!

Blegh!

Damon spat out a mouthful of blood just as the eyes of the enemy fell on him!

Such strength!

“Hmph! Kill them all!” The voice ordered and immediately the world shook!

The vampire army took its first step forward causing the entire mountain to tremble. Kyle’s voice resonated in Damon’s mind. Reminding him of the warning of the young vampire!
