151 Chapter 150: Fighting the son of heaven!
Retreat?
Buzzzzz!
The entire battlefield was shaken by the orders of the death mage. Someone who they believed would never turn his back on the enemy was actually prepared to flee right now but the situation cannot be helped. Somehow, the enemy allied forces have managed to minimize casualties on their sides by using their spirit realm experts to wear Damon and his side down.
Gin has been fatally injured, Damon was yet to rid himself of the remnant holy energy in his system which is wearing him out, Cyrus could not stand against the enemies alone, nor could Cassius Blood last too long against the enemies.
The only reasonable action to take now is to retreat!
Shit!
Cyrus frowned as he bit the bottom of his lips in frustration as he poured more energy into healing Gin. The damage he sustained from the divine power of the son of heaven far surpassed their expectations. He only survived because the son of heaven was already injured and weakened. If the old monster was at full power, just by saying the word, Gin would have died instantly on the spot!
[The word pathway! The power to manifest one’s words into reality by compelling the world to carry out your orders! I never thought I would get to see this pathway used again after centuries!] Death spoke in a light tone which was strangely calm.
Damon ignored the voice as he knew the restrictions of the death god. Right now he won’t be able to save his life here, so he could only rely on himself.
.....
Xiu!
Damon’s shadow expanded as the remaining five hundred thousand forces emerged behind him, adding to the other half, giving him over a million dying forces standing behind him.
Damon’s eyes were frosty as he gazed at the enemies without a hint of fear in his eyes.
‘Do I have to sacrifice my undead army for a second time to open the accursed gate of the underworld? Even if I do, would I be able to control the seven princes of the underworld in this condition?” Damon frowned deeply as he pondered on what to do.
The three great armies were now advancing, while Cyrus and the rest waited quietly, gazing at his back. Damon had already ordered them to retreat yet he seemed very unsure.
“What are you still doing here? Go up the blood mountain... Cassius, protect them. I will end this war now and get it over with” Damon said casually but Cyrus and the rest could tell his condition was so good. He was simply speaking this way to make them worry less.
“Understood” Cyrus said with a calm look. He shot Cassius a glance who quickly raced forward and grabbed Blink while Cyrus grabbed Gin.
Damon backed them and didn’t bother watching them run. His finger flicked as a black cloud gathered around him and when it was gone, Damon could be seen in his black armor with the black scythe in his hand.
Shadow magic: Shadow equip!
His body levitated off the ground as he stood above his one million man force. Gazing at the countless enemy soldiers matching up the blood mountain, a cruel smile bloomed on Damon’s face.
“Do you think the blood mountain is a place you can just come and leave as you wish?” Damon’s voice was filled with immense hate and disgust.
His eyes were pinned on their below and the contempt in his gaze couldn’t be hidden. It felt like he was looking at mere animals.
“Let’s not jest young death mage.... You have sustained serious injuries from my sky covering formation. Gin Stonehammer is at the brink of death under the power of my word pathway... Cyrus Light has been greatly weakened after his battle with Pope Light and Cassius Blood must protect your disciple... In my opinion, this battle has been won” The Son of heaven said calmly as he walked up the blood mountain alone, far from his soldiers, yet he showed no fear.
The word pathway!
“Hmph! Do you think you have what it takes to go against me? Where the old death mages failed. I will succeed...” Damon said as he let go of his death scythe and his fingers surged with a darkish green aura
Pa!
A loud sound could be heard as Damon struck his ears, causing blood to squirt out, stunning everyone. With the residual holy energy in his body, he didn’t have to worry about the injury healing or the word pathway.
He grabbed the levitating death scythe and the cruel grin on his face turned to a crazed smile. His eyes turned blood red as the black cracks appeared once again, spreading across his face.
“WORDS ARE CHEAP! I WILL PUT AN END TO THIS WAR BY TAKING YOUR LIFE, ROBERT!” Damon growled like a beast before shooting forward.
Bang!
Damon shot forward like a beast, shooting toward the Son of heaven. Seeing this the son of heaven paled as he realized the word pathway would be deaf!
“KILL THEM ALL, LEAVE NO ONE STANDING! LET THEM KNOW THE BLOOD MOUNTAIN IS NOT SOMEWHERE THEY CAN JUST COME AND DO AS THEY LIKE!” Damon bellowed and almost immediately, his undead soldiers that have been dormant and silent came to life and began racing down the blood mountain.
They were like a flood, racing towards the enemy forces without hesitation! Seeing this, the three great armies began racing forwards as well! If Damon’s forces were to reach the Son of heaven who was far ahead first, another king will die and they will lose the advantage they have.
Hmph!
The son of heaven refused to retreat against this kid. He snapped his fingers and countless sparks surrounded him, shooting toward Damon!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly explosion filled the sky as the sparks exploded upon getting close enough to the approaching death mage! Each spark carried the destructive power of a high level spell. Seeing countless of them detonate all at once, many paled in fright as they realized the second pathway of the old King that has been hidden away for a long time now.
The destruction pathway! The same with Damon!
“AS IF!!”
BOOOM!
A darkish green hurricane could be seen surging dangerously within the explosions with Damon at the center. He was combining the Wind magic with his death magic!
“HAHAHAHAHA! Kill me with this? HAS DAMON ROSS BECOME SO WEAK THAT ANYONE CAN MAKE AN ATTEMPT AT HIS LIFE?” Damon was furious as the black cracks all over his face and spread all the way to his neck.
The sun slowly vanished as the moon appeared to take its place but it wasn’t just any moon, it was a blood moon!
He was trying to summon his anomaly into this world!
“I will not let you!” Kaido bellowed as the sun tattoo on his forehead lit up and a new sun emerged, clashing with the blood moon above.
On one half was the sun shining brightly and on the other side was the blood moon, training everything within its domain, red!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Countless fire explosions erupted but even then it couldn’t stop the spinning green hurricane.
Kill!
“You don’t dare!” The son of heaven roared with his squinted eyes as he threw both hands forward and countless explosions erupted between him and the green hurricane!
The green hurricane kept clashing with the unending explosions, and even Damon felt frustrated.
“Don’t lose your patience, young death mage! There is more to come!” The son of heaven bellowed as one of his eyes turned orange while the other grey!
“Not good!” Damon muttered with a deep frown as he felt the wind and fire element with the destruction pathway surging deep within the body of this old king!
Destroyer Sea of flames!
The world trembled violently as a sea of flames was spat out with the wind doubling its size and power. It was like a mighty tsunami, pushing Damon’s green tornado back while trying to completely consume him.
Boom!
Boom!
Within the green tornado, Damon remIend calm as he gazed at the surging flames exploding rapidly even within the flames.
“Impressive, but you are not the only one capable of this!” Damon growled cruelly as he clasped his hands together causing his eyes to turn pitch black with strings of darkness flowing within it.
Hell Flames: Sea of nothingness!
Damon spat out darkish green flames, fusing them with his wind element and destruction pathway!
Roar!
A fierce roar reached the clouds as the hell flames surged dangerously, greedily swallowing with the son of heaven’s flames!
Kill!
Damon was not done!
His body drifted backward as he gripped the clouds and pulled.
Boom!
The sun created by Kaido was covered by darkness as a black aura skull appeared above the sky!
“ROT AWAY!” Damon bellowed as the black aura skull began descending without hesitation, covering the entire sky.
A massive skull the size of a meter, filled with decay power was not something anyone should look down on!
