Paragon of Death

159 Chapter 158: Theories

Damon’s words lessened the tension and everyone calmed down a bit. For some reason the confidence in his voice made them feel safe again.

“But that brings the most important question now...” Damon suddenly spoke up with a deep frown.

“This world always finds a way to maintain the balance. According to the story the Draconian race was the strongest and most powerful but also the most chaotic and fierce. All the hosts so far have always eluded the Draconian race until recently.

Hearing his words, everyone instantly knew what Damon was insinuating and it made them frown as well. A feeling of anxiety swept through the group and a few even began looking towards Damon with skeptical looks in their eyes. It felt like they were trying to reject these possibilities even through they were becoming are more frequent and realistic.

“You see a problem and try to avoid the problem doesn’t mean the problem is not there. You will only give it the opportunity to grow and develop until you won’t be able to contain that problem” Damon said coldly at the other three as he realised their thoughts.

“I agree but then are you trying to say the world made a mistake by picking the two Draconian terrorising the central continent?” Cyrus could help but ask.

“It’s not a mistake. The world doesn’t make mistakes, neither does it take sides, the world does what the world thinks is best for the world. We are still the hosts till now because the world thinks we are still valuable. Anyday the world seems us unfit to become the hosts, our guardian spirit hosts will turn on us and we will end up dead. In the end we are only pawns of these major existences” Gin said these words slowly as his frown deepened with each word spoken.

“I don’t believe the world is in a position where it can turn its back on us. The world is dying off, its resources almost depleted and the last of what it has can only bring us up to the level of new gods which we are destined to obtain. I have a strong connection to the earth and I can feel it’s dying breaths. We are this world’s last hope” Elsa said and the other two agreed by nodding to her words but for some reason Damon felt something was wrong.

He wasn’t sure if it was as a result of childhood tragedy or hardship but he found it hard to completely trust people. What Damon said was quite accurate, until they qreach the true God realm, Damon truly believed they are just pawns for the world.

.....

“That’s by the way” Damon said as he pushed off this topic and returned to the main topic ahead of them.

“In my opinion, I don’t think the world made a mistake by granting those two the position of hosts. Instead I believe the transition of power from the previous host to the new one was hijacked by the four ancient elemental Dragons and the old gods.” Damon said with a frown and everyone was stunned by his words.

“The world outside the central continent has been polluted by the old gods and that’s why the hosts only spawn in the central continent these days. The Draconian race seems to have made a deal with the old gods and that’s why they have lived peacefully for so long, they must feel wronged by the actions of the previous hosts and want to get back at them by all means. Now the Draconian race has two of the six hosts in their control and those two hosts have decided to make it a personal duty to kill the four of us and steal our inheritance! Does all of this seem like a coincidence to you?” Damon asked with a raised eyebrow.

His words were a bit confusing at first but now he has finished speaking, these people finally understood what he was trying to say. They considered everything he said earlier and found how realistic his little theory is.

Buzzzz!

Gin shuddered as a deep frown slowly took form on his face. He took a few steps back and pondered a bit more before speaking up.

“If this is the case then it means two things. The first is that the ancient elemental Dragons have almost broken the restraints placed on them somehow can influence the actions of their people. If that is true then it means that the two Draconian hosts won’t be waiting to ambush us at the entrance of the inheritance! Instead they will try to get to us or even search for the sealed artifacts and lay claims on them.” Gin’s face twisted with emotions as he spoke those words.

“Exactly...”Damon snapped his fingers at Gin’s words. He enjoyed the fact that everyone is catching on to his plans now.

“Wasn’t the last village reportedly raided by the brutes located somewhere near the endless desert? Is this your attempt to get us killed?” Cyrus suddenly realised Damon’s plan and frowned.

They were supposed to be evading these people, yet Damon has been leading them to the duo without them knowing.

“Why?” Gin shot Damon a serious gaze. He was neither furious or annoyed, he just felt curious.

“Because this will be the best chance we will ever get...” Damon said.

“From the information I received, the three gods sect has been sent to put an end to the two Draconian hosts with prince Gerald of the Gyro Kingdom. If we make it on time, we have caught both sides weakened and put an end to all of them at once” Damon said calmly but his eyes seemed to be lost in thoughts as if he was doubting his own plans.

“Is there something wrong?” Elsa noticed his concern and asked while gently holding his hands.

“Nothing much, just the normal anxiety of the limitless possibilities that we have to deal with every moment. I tend to overthink when I’m outwitting the enemy” Damon responded with a wink before he began moving forward fearlessly.

He could tell the ancient elemental Dragon of earth was purposefully trying to conceal the battle taking place within its domain by revealing its aura to make them not notice the weaker one but Damon wasn’t a fool.

The death magic detects all negative emotions regardless. While the ancient dragon of earth was the one with the most resentment directed at them, Damon could still pinpoint the immense resentment directed at people not present with him. It was the kind that kept building as the fight continued!

‘I would like to see how you plan to protect them from me!’ Damon growled in his mind as he could see the massive pile of negative emotions surging from deep within the endless desert. He could vaguely see a pair of eyes pinned on him.

The ancestral dragon of the earth element!

They may have been put to sleep but their awareness and perception still spread far and wide. This explains why the can bargain with the old gods.

00 posted by people Somewhere within the endless deserts, two figures fought against one fiercely while the other three stood at the sidelines watching with gruesome looks on their faces.

Roar!

An inhuman roar filled the skies as the two hosts of destruction and stop kissed the clouds with their feets before descending fiercely while spinning violently. Flame and wind surged around the duo respectively as they fell on the lone figure gazing n0 them with a deep smile.

Boom!

Blood and flesh scattered everywhere and the two hosts retreated yet they wore anxious looks on their faces. Their eyes were pinned on a majestic golden egg, glowing brightly. After what looked like a few minutes the egg began to crack and as soon as it burst open, a youthful man stepped out of it with his long red hair fluttering in the wind.

Gerald Gyro wore nothing as he stepped out of the egg with a cruel smile on his face.

Snap!

With a snap of his fingers his naked body was consumed by flames and when the flames vanished his robe was remade with the creation pathway.

“In the end, you still haven’t killed me permanently and it has been a week since the gamble ended. You couldn’t keep me dead for one hour and now you will have to do me one favor. I am magnanimous and that is why I have allowed you two to rampage away for a week but now, it’s time you fulfil your own part of the deal” Gerald Gyro said with fierce eyes while he looked at the two Draconians with hints of disgust in his eyes.

Meanwhile, not too far from the battlefield, Kaido stood with a pale look on his face. The ability to be reborn even in death is the power of the Phoenix pathway. A power which not many should know since it was given to him specifically by the son of heaven as a gift after his arrival.

He has seen the son of heaven use it and he realized even the mighty king is not proficient with this power. He had assumed the son of heaven had only developed this power recently and was proud when he surpassed the son of heaven’s mastery of the pathway.

Now he has met someone even far greater than him by leaps and bounds
