Paragon of Death

149 Chapter 148: Pinning down the three hosts

Bang!

Seeing the son of heaven on his knees, spitting out blood, the entire human forces paled and many unconsciously began dropping their weapons with terrified looks on their faces. This man was supposed to be the most powerful human in the world. The pillar holding up their existence and ensuring their survival! If he falls now, doesn’t it mean the end of the human race on the continent?

Grrrrr!

Damon’s eyes revealed fierce killing intentions and without hesitating Damon sprang forward like a beast, dashing forward on all four he raced down the hill with great speed!

Re-retreat!

That was what was on the mind of these warriors of Gyro. Pope Light has fallen and the great King Robert has been gravely injured, do they still stand a chance of winning? They were about to flee but a figure stepped forward. His eyes were blood red while his fangs and claws were visible.

Duke Hail looked towards the Elf queen in the distance for a few seconds and sighed.

“If the forces of Gyro retreat we have lost this war... If the Son of heaven dies, we have lost this continent. Have your people aid my mages in healing my king and I will hold them off” Duke Hail said calmly as white fur began sprouting all over his skin.

IMPUDENT!

.....

“You dare order the queen?” Isabella growled as she reached for her bow but what happened next stunned her.

“Do as he says. There are no lies in his words so we have no reason to reject them. By the way, they are the guardians of nature, not humans. We can compromise for them” The elven queen said with a calm look on her face and her emerald crystal eyes on Duke Hail as if it was sending a hidden message.

Duke Hail simply smiled at her before dashing off into the distance. At first, he was running fairly fast but then he jumped and his body exploded as he transformed into a massive silver werewolf, landing roughly before shooting forward.

Boom!

The ground beneath his feet shattered as he lunged into the air to meet Damon!

“DUKE HAIL!” Damon growled furiously as his body exploded and from the dust, a darkish green werewolf emerged!

Bang!

The duo slammed into each other and a fierce battle began!

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Like wild beasts, they bit at each other, clawed at each other, and even went as far as to shove each other violently.

THUD!

The two landed roughly but a few meters away from each other. Their eyes were on each other, while Duke Hail had a few scratches, Damon was riddled with wounds and even a deep bite mark on his shoulder. He stood on his hind legs and shot a glance at his injuries and frowned.

They weren’t healing!

“The sky-covering formation can deal far more damage than expected... This will be far more difficult than expected” Damon muttered with a slight frown on his face. He could sniff the large remnants of the light holy aura hidden deep within his system, nullifying the effect of his

“Give up now, how many have to die because of you?” Duke Hail growled and Damon’s eyes turned fierce and cruel.

“How dare you? I FOUGHT TO SAVE LIVES, TO PROTECT ALL, YET YOU STABBED ME IN THE BACK AND STILL HAVE THE GUTS TO SPIT CRAP IN MY PRESENCE...” Damon was enraged as he screamed those words but then his eyes turned cold and calm.

“For these words, even if everyone else survives, you will die for your stupidity. The Hail family will need a new lord after this war” Damon said calmly with eyes that can stab deep into a person’s soul.

The calmness in his voice sent shivers down Duke Hail’s spine, making him feel uncomfortable.

Bang!

Damon lunged forward as power surged around his claws.

Thud!

The stomped his foot on the ground and spun repeatedly, forming a mini-cyclone of the darkish green aura

“Secret technique: Brilliant claw!” Damon growled as he moved but Duke Hail remained calm.

“Secret technique: Werewolf’s Roar!” Duke Hail cried out as a Silver aura avatar of himself emerged from nowhere.

Its eyes brimmed with power as it let out a fierce roar, startling Damon while disrupting the rhythm of his movements!

Shit!

Damon frowned but his body was yet to regain when Duke Hail blitzed past him, aiming for his neck! He wasn’t trying to slice his throat, he was planning to decapitate him in one go!

Peng!

Damon’s eyes widened with shock as he saw numerous golden swords revolving around him! He looked back up and saw Cyrus gazing at Duke Hail with a fierce look.

“He has more experience as a werewolf... Fighting against him in that form is not your smartest move!” Cyrus said coldly as he flicked his fingers and the swords spun violently, before shooting at the duke all at once!

Hmph! Brilliant claw!

Duke Hail brandished his claws around him so fast, he created a net of silver energy around him, forming a barrier!

Peng!

Peng!

Peng!

Damon was completely dumbfounded as he watched Duke Hail defend against all six blades before slashing at Cyrus abruptly, sending a claw-shaped silver energy attack.

Shit!

Cyrus was stunned by the performance just like Damon so he reacted slowly.

Boom!

Gin appeared in front of Cyrus with his energy surging dangerously as he raised his blade to block the attack but he was blown back recklessly. Causing him to smash into Cyrus and both of them crashing to the ground and rolling a couple of times before stopping!

Damn!

“He is actually winning? He is suppressing all three of them!” Isabella of the elven court didn’t know whether to be excited or shocked. If the man she was about was this capable, wouldn’t she have lost her life without knowing how it happened?

“Of course he is. After accumulating the experience and memories of the past generations into one body, the three hosts have been weakened greatly by us, forcing them to result to this type of combat. They have no chance against the young Duke!” The elven queen spoke casually as if this was to be expected in the first place

..........

Meanwhile, in the human camp, the human forces were more excited than ever. They gazed at the Duke battling the three alone with respect and prestige. Kaido was stunned as well, he knew the duke was strong and skilled but he didn’t know the duke was this strong.

“Why do you think I hold the Hail family in high regard? They are one of the three mighty pillars of my kingdom...” The son of heaven said calmly with his eyes shut while sitting in a cross-legged position and numerous healers from both the elves and humans focused on healing him.

Beside him was pope Light who seemed to have been regaining some color since the treatment started. His eyes kept shivering from time to time as if he was about to regain consciousness.

“Why aren’t we moving? If the three are weakened, why are we not charging in now and putting an end to this war?” Kaido was confused. In his opinion, launching an attack was the best thing to do, instead of waiting and hoping the duke will be able to deal with three of them.

Hmph!

“Have you noticed, the death mage’s five hundred thousand strong force is not making a move even though their master is in a disadvantaged position?” The son of heaven asked calmly as he watched the fight between the three rages on. He too was greatly impressed by Duke Hail’s performance.

“This...” Kadio was stunned by this since he never expected it. Even amongst the enemy forces was the dead King of the dwarf race. Should it interfere they can change the tide of battle and win this fight, yet it wasn’t moving.

“The death mage left behind the only undead soldier capable of activating a large-scale halo. It’s there just in case our army makes a move...” The son of heaven said calmly as a smile appeared all over his face.

Kaido frowned at this as he pondered for a short while. His gaze shifted to the elves and he frowned. So far they have done little or nothing to support this war. He was about to speak badly about them but the son of heaven waved his hand to stop him. This wasn’t the time to push blame or offend allies.

“Do you really think the forces of the four great kingdoms will move out, with their leaders and the three remaining blood clan first bloods roaming the continent won’t notice? They have three spirit realm experts on their side with a hundred thousand warrior realm and above elite forces. The strongest force of the blood clan... There are eyes and ears everywhere and the elves understand this. From the outside, it may look like we have trapped the enemy but in reality, we are the ones trapped... The defeat of the dwarves before the war started reduced our chances of winning by at least thirty percent!” the son of heaven sighed bitterly
