Paragon of Death

166 Chapter 165: Gerald, furious!

Damon’s words made Gin, Elsa, and Cyrus frown but that was just it. none of them argued with his plan and they slowly began going around the enemy while damon kept approaching the two draconian hosts with an indifferent look in his eyes.

“you humans have a thing for insults. i will rip your tongue out and make you watch me kill your friends first before i take your life” fei said with a fierce gaze while damon chuckled at his words.

his hand spun in a circular manner while he brandished his death scythe and the world around him seemed to crumble under his power. even the ground under his feet slowly turned grey as his power spread wide and far.

“decay power!” raizen stormborn muttered with a strange look in his eyes.

“what is there to fear!” fei growled but didn’t dare approach.

the slow yet spreading dark energy robbed the time of everything in its path. unless they know a way to bypass this power they dared not approach.

damon’s figure hovered around the two draconians elsa, gin and cyrus followed him around them like his shadow.

only when damon had his back turned on his team and the earth armor did he feel relaxed. strangely the two draconians made no move to attack, instead, they watched elsa and the rest walk into the pillar of light in an attempt to take the earth armor at the center and vanished. it was like they were transported to another place entirely.

only now did damon realize why the duo didn’t attempt to fight him or reach the earth armor before them even though they were closer. they all wore amused looks on their faces as they gazed at damon as if he is the biggest fool they have come across in a while.

.....

“did you really think the power of the sealed artifact can be controlled easily? there are tests one must take and if our ancestor refuses to hand it over, they will never get their hands on it” raizen stormborn laughed cruelly but the cold and emotionless look on damon’s face made them stop laughing.

“foolish lizards” a voice resonated from the golden egg glowing brightly

crack!

a fist burst through the egg, shattering it while gerald gyro crawled out of the hole created by his fist. his eyes were cold and resentful but they weren’t pinned on damon, instead, it was focused on the two draconians.

in his opinion, these dragons are the dumbest things a person can find on this continent.

“the earth ancestral dragon which you worship so much is still a demigod and only true god realm beings can break free from the constraints of this world. the sealed artifact may be a part of it but it is also a part of this world. who else is a better inheritor of the earth’s armor if not the guardian spirit host of nature?” gerald said those words as he struggled to get on his feet.

snap!

with a flick of his fingers, his body was consumed by fierce flames and from it, his robes formed once again.

“your ancestors can only delay the inevitable. but in the end the earth armor will submit to her and become hers. all of this happened because you lizards decided to keep your brains at home before coming over to my continent!” gerald growled with reddened eyes.

the negative emotions surging from him and directed towards the two draconians were so much. damon could understand something here only after seeing the crown prince of the gyro kingdom face to face.

the first thing was that gerald was quite smart and he would be difficult to deal with as an enemy. the second was that this man knew far more than normal humans should. as a human with no supernatural backer, gerald has created a network of information that gave him information which even kingdoms don’t have.

and finally, when gerald emerged, what damon felt from this human wasn’t hatred or any special emotion which can be considered negative. instead what he felt was just anxiety. in one instance, damon understood gerald’s fears.

currently, gerald was trying to kill damon not because he hated damon or had any reason to. instead, it was more like he was protecting what is his. he was trying to protect his father and the gyro kingdom from damon.

“this human....” damon said with narrowed eyes as he staggered back a bit.

looking at gyro he felt more interested in talking to him than actually fighting him.

meanwhile, the two guardian host dragons remained rooted to a spot with a cold frowns on their faces. their cold eyes were pinned on damon as they felt cheated while also acknowledging they are the reason for all these misfortunes.

“we were tricked by the human. humans are too cunning!” fei growled in fury but gerald’s fury far surpassed his.

“silence! only infidels throw blames around when they are clearly at fault! the death mage may be a stronger foe but letting chaotic morons like you roam free with the sole desire of destroying everything in your path, would be a mistake punishable by death by the heavens. i will kill the two of you hear and now. then think of a way to protect what’s mine when the time comes” gerald said slowly in a low and composed tone.

his voice lacked life in it, talk less of emotions.

brrrrrr!

as soon as gerald said those words his eyes lit up with flames as his skin was slowly covered by golden feathers. from his eyes a living flame poured out, completely consuming his figure while taking the shape of a phoenix, the true phoenix!

cawwwwww!

letting out a terrifying cry was just the beginning as gerald began flapping his massive wings, creating wind shockwaves which sent damon flying back while the two draconians remained standing with fierce eyes while looking at the mighty huge phoenix.

“i will deal with him, brother. handle the little death mage” raizen said with cruel eyes. fei nodded calmly and began walking towards damon’s direction while raizen slowly removed his robes while approaching the mighty phoenix.

“even a human tries to imitate the power of the sacred phoenix lord of the golden era. unfortunately, even the phoenix lord was nothing compared to my ancestors. the dragons will reign supreme again!” raizen’s voice kept deepening while he spoke.

booom!

raizen exploded into a huge cloud of smoke and from it a mighty silver dragon emerged, charging at the phoenix with clear killing intentions in its eyes.

“the dragons? reign again? i would like to see who can make such an impossible dream happen! you? hahahahaha! you don’t have the ability!” gerald’s voice boomed from the body of the majestic phoenix.

brrrrrr!

the phoenix blew a torrent of fierce flames but the silver dragon didn’t even make any attempt to block, instead, it charged through the flames and slammed its claws into the phoenix face dragging it along with it as it jumped off the massive platform and both mighty beasts wrestled each other while the fell.

meanwhile, damon was still on a knee with his hands dug deep into the platform just to prevent him from falling off due to the shockwaves created by the two massive beasts while they fought.

his cold gaze was pinned on the figure walking towards him with scorching red eyes.

“i heard the death mage of the blood mountain is the strongest being in the continent! since you and i are both spirit realm warriors, we can call this a fair fight and decide who is the greatest!” fei said coldly.

hmph!

damon snorted disdainfully as his eyes let out a bright green light and his cruel grin exposed his fangs.

“i accept your challenge but don’t you dare think of challenging death and getting away with it!” damon growled before charging forward!

boom!

damon charged forward while power surged into the black scythe bit as he slashed towards the enemy furiously, fei casually blocked it with his pinky finger!

peng!

damon’s eyes turned cold as he was thrown back after one strike. he could feel his hands bleed but he didn’t dare retreat!

kill!

damon growled as he brandished his weapon, releasing powerful energy arcs rapidly, destroying everything in its path but even that couldn’t make fei raise his guards. he just casually walked through damon’s attacks as if it was nothing.

boom!

before danon could react he felt a fist shatter the breastplate of his armor and send him spiraling back.

blegh!

damon spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell to his knees and his eyes felt heavy. he looked down and saw how his chest caved him, causing him to smile cruelly.

“nice... nice!” damon laughed hysterically as his eyes revealed a strange red light while black cracks began spreading across his face.

he has no intentions of letting this draconian do as he pleases. for a while now, the hosts have been trying to clear their name and make the world accept them, yet these two draconian hosts invaded their continent and left a trail of blood as they destroyed everything in their path.

how dare they ruin the name of decent people like him?
