Paragon of Death

255 Chapter 254: Gin’s trap

Their actions and change in strategy showed they were aware of things happening within the empire and they planned to take advantage of their situation now. It also made Gin believe the enemy and have a vague understanding of how their formation works and how to counter it!

“Unfortunately, I will always be a step ahead of them,” Gin muttered with a cruel smile on his face.

The main attacking force of the army is the Draconian’s ancestral beings. It was obvious that these people would be the ones to launch the attacks capable of shattering this barrier.

..... The southern part of the battlefield.....

Ducalian shot towards the trio standing guard around the magic towers that relentlessly assaulted his forces.

“I will have you all die now” Ducalian’s eyes revealed a black and golden flash as the two merged to form what could be considered an invisible force.

Yin & Yang mastery: Balance!

Buzzzz!

The invisible force was like a tidal wave, rising as it moved. It gathered so much momentum it felt like the world around the three clones was about to collapse then something unexpected happened!

.....

Across the battlefields, the other shadow clones were instantly covered in barriers made of energy except those in the southern part!

The helpless looking shadow of the host of force suddenly turned fierce and his aura exploded violently!

Devour pathway: Black hole!

Buzzzz!

All the invisible energy surged into Gin’s open palm while two figures shot past him, shooting toward Ducalian!

Shit!

Ducalian shivered upon realizing what was going on. He soon realized something that they didn’t put into consideration when preparing to battle these shadows. They failed to put into consideration that the originals would blend with the fakes.

“The mistake you made is believing I need to stay within the empire to control the formation but you refuse to understand that I am the formation” Gin’s cold and cruel words rang in the ears of the enemy.

Shit!

Rose, the goddess of spear, saw what was going on but it was already too late!

Guardian weapon pathway: Divine knight of judgment!

Cyrus’s eyes flashed as his body shot forward while it got consumed by golden light!

Roar!

The Cyrus that emerged from the golden light was completely covered in golden knight armor as his power surged dangerously around him, taking the form of a golden spear!

Divine spear: Divine dragon spear!

Grabbing onto the spear, Cyrus began spinning as he shot towards Ducalian. From mere golden light, Cyrus was soon shrouded by a golden aura that took the shape of a golden dragon.

Seer pathway: Revelations!

Elsa followed Cyrus tightly as her eyes turned gray and that of Ducalian turned gray as well!

Huff!

Ducalian exhaled as he was forcefully dragged into a trance where all the possible features played right before his eyes. He saw the final days of the world which even the new and old gods could not escape and at the face of this evil belonged to some both Elsa and Ducalian were familiar with.

That face belonged to Damon!

Xiu!

Before the vision was over the golden dragon had already blitzed past Ducalian, fading and revealing Cyrus in his fluttering golden robes. In the angel realm, he had become the embodiment of perfection among humans and even now his skin was more golden in complexion than normal.

He was like a golden statue of perfection that would make any woman’s heart skip a beat in an instant.

“It’s over for you,” Cyrus said in a tone void of any form of emotion.

Gin watched as Ducalian’s head fell from his mortal body and a cruel smile crept on his face. While they have only killed the mortal honesty of the ancestral dragon, they have permanently removed him from this war. A God cannot descend in the body of just any mortal. Hosts used to descend require time to prepare. That was the main reason this war did not happen sooner.

Now that the enemy core forces are divided, they can just divide and conquer. Gin was about to order them to attack Rose but he noticed Elsa was deadly pale and wore the same terrified expression on her face as Ducalian before his demise.

The greatest evil….

Sin of greed….

An evil they can’t avoid!

Ha!

Elsa felt a shooting and tranquil energy invade her mind in a bid to calm her, she looked up only to see Cyrus placing a finger on her forehead.

“We have no time for this. Elsa retreat… Cyrus, help me finish the goddess of spear off or we may never get the chance again!” Gin’s cold voice rang in their ears as a blue figure shot past them and raced toward the red-haired lady seated comfortably on an elevated platform!

Gin’s plan was simple from the start, take advantage of the split enemy and kill the weakest and most troublesome.

People using life and death magic have proven to be extremely troublesome, talk less of a dragon that knows both. While this happens, the other leaders of the empire would step up and hold the old and ancestral dragons on all fronts.

They are not fighting to win, just to stall time. Plus with the aid of the shadows of the three hosts and a magic tower, it shouldn’t be too difficult as long as they cooperate properly.

While this happens they are meant to kill Ducalian and Rose….

That’s what he planned to do now!

Devour pathway: Release!

Gin threw his palm forward and the invisible turbulent sea of life and death aura raged forward causing rose to pale.

Boom!

Heavenly spear: Retribution!

A loud bellow filled the heavens as Gin frowned and tried to climb higher but he couldn’t. Below him was a spinning massive red spear surging forward in the form of a red hurricane, covering the earth!

Hmph!

A golden figure appeared behind Gin and grabbed him by the collar, pulling him back and stepping forward.

Word pathway: Heaven Decree!

“STOP!” Cyrus declared coldly as the red hurricane raced towards them with clear malicious intentions!
