Paragon of Death

169 Chapter 168: A losing battle

Brrrrrr!

The blood sea above began descending while Damon’s shadow chains pinned them to the ground. Even in such a situation, Damon could see the disgust in the eyes of the enemy and not fear! His eyes narrowed but he dared not stop his attack! Against these two Draconians, any hesitation would be his last.

Hmph!

Fei of the fire dragon snorted disdainfully as his aura exploded and in an instant, the chains broke almost easily!

Bang!

The chains holding down the silver dragon shattered almost instantly with a casual pull, leaving even Damon stunned. The sheer brute strength of these people was just too terrifying.

Fall!

Damon growled as his body drifted back while the blood sea descended, if he failed to restrain these people, the fight would be over long before it began.

“Hmph! Not good enough!” Fei snorted disdainfully as his body exploded with flames and a cruel smile bloomed on his face.

.....

“Reduce everything to ashes, Destruction pathway: flames of damnation” he muttered those words as the fierce orange flames doubled in power and size and turned blue.

His hands slowly levitated above the ground and into that air while his eyes filled with contempt gazed at the massive body of blood, descending with the intention of crushing them.

“Burn!”

Boom!

Like a rocket, his flames raged into the sky and under everyone’s shocked gaze, everything the two attacks clashed, and soon red steam spread across the entire battlefield as the blood sea was reduced to vapor!

Swoosh!

Before Damon could even comment, the massive cloud of red steam was split in two and a mighty figure emerged with his claws slashing down. Just one attack from the massive silver dragon covered a lot of space even hearing the entrance to the sealed artifact behind Damon, giving them no choice but to stand his ground.

“Damon Ross has done a lot of things over the years but Damon Ross has never been weak!” Damon growled disdainfully as he clasped his hands together and everything began trembling.

The bone pyramid which had stopped growing continued its growth abruptly. Bone pillars surged into the air clashing with the massive claw above.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sky was riddled with explosions as the massive silver claw tore through all the bone pillars and threatened to reach Damon who stood and watched with squinted eyebrows.

“What you wish for, is far beyond your reach. Give up now and retreat and just maybe I will let you live!’ Damon’s eyes turned grey as his necromancy ability took effect.

Necromancy magic: one with death!

Damon’s eyes twisted as the familiar figure of the dwarf with the lighting ax appeared in his mind. His hands reached for the heavens and he grabbed the empty space and said nothing!

Swooosh!

Black sand surged forward upon his call and formed a massive black metal shell to face the attack of the enemy!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Cracks could be seen spreading across the entire huge metal dome. Damon remained silent with a frown as he watched the cracks spreading and light finding its way into the pyramid.

“Truly the strength of the dragon’s are unrivaled but I, Damon Ross is inferior to no one!” Damon said coldly as his eyes revealed a green flash.

If these people want a fight he would give them. While the death magic may not have such destructive force to face such an enemy head-on, its resourcefulness and strange abilities made it the perfect ability for someone like Damon.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Suddenly a strange sound filled the sky, stopping the attack in its tracks. The silver dragon and Fei looked above them and were shocked to see nothing! Their eyes narrowed and they quickly turned their attention to the metal dome only to see fierce green light surging from the cracks created already!

Shit!

Boom!

A fierce explosion occurred which forced the dragon to retreat by a few steps. Its eyes narrowed as from the massive green cloud of smoke, a ferocious darkish green werewolf emerged with lighting surging around it. The mighty Werewolf was the same size as the silver dragon, while the power of death plus lightning surged around its body.

“Combining the combat techniques of two different beings. Smart but I’m sure the strain placed on your body is really high. How long do you think you can maintain it?” Fei seemed more amused than terrified as he began taking bold strides while talking.

His eyes changed to that of a reptile while his skin slowly turned rough while scales began spreading across his body. Damon in his Werewolf form saw the red Cloud of smoke emerge and from it, a mighty red dragon the same size as the silver dragon emerged. The red dragon walked to the side of the silver dragon with eyes filled with contempt when he kept gazing at Damon.

“How long can I maintain this? For as long as I need to. You should be more worried about yourself!” Damon bellowed as his massive body sprang forward.

“You dare!” Fei was infuriated by the fact that the enemy dared to attack them even when outnumbered and outclassed.

He believed the ones allowed to do something like this are the strongest which are the Draconian race monsters. Anyone below their level shouldn’t be allowed to do something like this. In its opinion, Damon daring to act like this was an insult to someone of his level and his brother.

Secret technique: Werewolf’s Roar!

What?

Fei wanted to move but then a loud roar reached the heavens temporarily stunning them both while Damon’s massive werewolf body descended from above.

Fei and Raizen’s eyes revealed red and silver lights respectively as they broke free from Damon’s stubbing attack and lunged at him!

Boom!

While the silver dragon smashed its skull into the Werewolf’s exposed chest, the red dragon aimed higher and sank its fangs into the Werewolf’s shoulder!

Bang!

The two dragged Damon down and struck him on the ground making his vision blur! Blood squirted out everywhere as Damon’s claws fiercely attacked the red dragon biting onto his shoulder hard but he couldn’t even put a dent in its scales.

Swish!

While Damon was still struggling he watched the silver dragon fly into the air while gathering silver energy around its neck. It’s cold gaze was pinned on Damon’s head alone and the red dragon’s attempt at his neck sent cold shivers down Damon’s spine.

They know!

Damon pale with fright. Only he and the angel of death was aware of the weakness of his incomplete pathway. As long as his head is destroyed he will die completely. His immortal body will be rendered useless and his soul snatched by the underworld and the old gods just like every other soul that has come and gone before him.

Normally people shouldn’t know and he wondered how they found out but when he remembered these people were acting under the orders of ancestral Dragons who fought against the old gods with the help of the new gods, he found it reasonable.

The death mage was killed in that battle so they must have seen how he died. It wasn’t too shocking that they found out anymore.

That also explains how they knew how to defend against his decay aura! These two possessed information no one else should be aware of and this heightened the killing intent Damon harbored for these two.

Right now he acknowledged that he was no longer fighting for just his teammate’s safety but for his survival as well.

“You!” Damon’s eyes narrowed as his body released countless explosions while his aura surged forward!

Death magic: Hell flame!

Booom!

His body was engulfed in fierce darkish green flames causing the enemy to retreat hastily!

Heavenly Dragon Roar!!!!

At that moment the massive silver dragon spat out a fierce silver beam at Damon who raised his hand and caught the attack with his bare hands!

“Gigantic pathway: Man of steel!” Damon’s eyes squinted as the countless black clouds of dust surging around spread to Damon, covering his body and turning it to steel!

Booom!

The massive Werewolf was blown back as its massive body skidded back while the metal skin around his arms was slowly blown away leaving his hand exposed!

Boom!

Damon frowned as he was blown back even further. He could feel the silver beam tearing through his arm and in reaction, he dove to the side and rolled on the ground with his massive body.

Pfff!

Blood squirted out of where his arm should be. His cold gaze remained firm while he gazed at the two figures flying above with a cold look in his eyes. His destroyed arm was slowly engulfed in a darkish green aura as it slowly began growing.

“Not bad... not bad. But not good enough” Damon sneered.

His eyes remained calm and collected but deep down he felt anxious. He has never fought against enemies where he was completely unable to deal with them.

His attacks couldn’t penetrate their skins and they were well aware of the secrets of his abilities.

‘This is not a fight I can win alone’ Damon confessed deep down.
