Paragon of Death

167 Chapter 166: Fears of Elsa

Even with the deep wound on his chest Damon maintained his crazed smile as he charged toward the enemy with a surging black aura in his death scythe!

Swoosh!

Damon was thrown into the sky as he spun alongside his weapon before hacking down ruthlessly!

Kill!

Boom!

Fei casually lifted his hand and caught the attack with little to no effort. In his hand was the blade of the black scythe but around his palm was a thick yet thin layer of aura slowly eroding under the effect of the decay power!

“Impossible!” Damon frowned but he felt a fist aim at the same spot again, slamming into its and sending him flying back!

Bleegh!

Damon spat out a mouthful of blood but he also slammed his black scythe into the ground, breaking his retreat abruptly.

.....

Huff!

Damon exhaled with a stunned look on his face. His eye shifted to the figure ahead of him with a thin layer of bright red aura around his hand while Damon’s black aura lingered around his hand but was unable to invade.

“Impossible...” Damon muttered with a frown.

The power of decay has always been his trump card and he has never seen someone counter it, at least not this way.

“Are you shocked? My people found a way to deal with your decay power. To force the Dragon race to adjust is no small feat. You should be proud of your ancestors for forcing us to learn this method” Fei said coldly.

“Mana is everywhere, its duration in time is infinite, unlike any other thing. Using mana as a shield for the decay power is quite smart. It’s shocking that brainless lizards like you can come up with something like this but of course, it changes nothing. There is no one on one battle, I cannot win” Damon said coldly as his armor lit up and a powerful suction force erupted.

Buzzz!

Fei frowned as he watched all the mana in the air surging toward the magic weapon in his hand. The black scythe began trembling violently as it was overwhelmed with the mana why Damon slowly approached.

He moved at a steady pace while his aura spread from his body taking the form of countless normal-sized darkish green aura wolves. Damon stood with a cruel smile on his face as his power spread wide and far, covering the entire platform with countless energy wolves.

“I heard the Draconian race has a powerful body, I would like to how true the rumors are!” Damon said with an eye filled with disdain.

Go!

Damon’s eye revealed a bright flash and the energy wolves lunged forward!

Roar!

Bang!

Fei stood unmoving as the wolves kept detonating one after the other as they crashed into him. His eyes remained calm and collected as more wolves threw themselves at him.

In the midst of the explosions, he lost sight of Damon but his eyes remained cold and he still refused to move. The pride of a dragon was far more than what anyone can hope to handle. In a bid to prove the gap between their strength, he was willing to stand there and let the enemy strike relentlessly.

“Cocky brat” Damon’s calm voice resonated around the room making it almost impossible to find the source.

As soon as Damon said that the wolves began combining rapidly and only then did Fei frown. Before he could speak, most of the energy wolves combined, comfortably creating a massive wolf that pounced on him before exploding.

Meanwhile.....

Bang!

The phoenix was thrown back but its eyes remained calm and collected as more majestic flames surged forward like a tsunami, crashing on the silver dragon!

Hmph!

The silver dragon snorted disdainfully as its eyes revealed a silver flash!

Heavenly Dragon Roar!!!!

The silver dragon inhaled deeply and its neck expanded. Ignoring its defense it launched a powerful offensive attack, launching a powerful beam of silver energy which tore through the flames and pierce through the chest of the golden phoenix!

Gaaah!

The beam tore through the golden phoenix, blasting Gerald out of the massive fire Phoenix avatar. He wasn’t a real beast so he can’t take its form, he can only create a living avatar with his creation pathway.

[To be able to pinpoint my exact location within the body of the avatar. His sensory skills are quite strong] Gerald muttered with a frown.

His eyes were cold but a good portion of his body was completely burnt. After taking a direct hit from the dragon breath, even after gathering his energy to block the attack he was still deeply hurt!

“Hehehe! This little silver dragon is trying to kill me? Even with your bother, you couldn’t win, do you think you can win against me alone?” Gerald remained cocky even in his current condition. His clothes were burnt and the hot mad melted part of his robes melted into his skin.

Half of his hair was burnt and the other half was charred black.

Yet, the confidence in his eyes has not to be hidden.

“Those eyes. I will destroy those eyes and have you serve me for eternity as a blind slave” the silver dragon growled cruelly but Gerald remained unmoving.

The massive phoenix stood between Gerald and the silver dragon. Its eyes were completely cold and umoving as it stood between its master and his greatest foe.

“Gerald Gyro has been a lot of things over the years but he has never been weak! You don’t have it takes to make me your slave but I will kill you here and now!” Gerald’s eyes flared up with power as the hole in the chest of the fiery phoenix closed up and his body levitated off the ground rapidly.

“STAY DOWN!” His voice boomed as countless shockwaves spread across the battlefield and an invisible force slammed into the silver dragon from above, smashing its head into the ground.

Boom!

“You!!!!” The silver dragon growled furiously as its eyes lit up and a fierce aura exploded from its body!

Bleegh!

Gerald drifted back as he spat out a mouthful of blood as a feeling of something tightly gripping his heart, threatening to crush it!

[Truly the world pathway is not meant to be used in stronger foes] Gerald muttered in his mind but he did not relent.

“Go! Kill him now!” Gerald ordered and the massive fiery phoenix raced forward and an explosion erupted all over the battlefield.

...........

Xiu!

Gin, Cyrus, and Elsa appeared on a circular platform. Ahead of them was a fierce sandstorm with a thin road at the center leading towards another platform far ahead where the earth’s armor could be seen.

Gin looked ahead as he saw the bottomless pit below. Outside the narrow pathway was nothing else but a bottomless pit.

“This...” Elsa frowned

Before she couldn’t sense it but right now she could feel the presence of the ancient earth elemental dragon. It felt like a pair of eyes were pinned on her and no secrets could be hidden from them.

“It’s crazy that Damon could feel this much pressure alone and remain sane. This pressure is unbearable” Elsa fell to her knees while wrapping her hands around herself. Her body shivered as she realized what happened to Damon.

Whatever eyes the eyes were pinned on, it would enhance the emotions anyone felt.

When threatened people would naturally feel fear and that’s what it banks on but when Damon experienced its power, instead of feeling fear, he felt angry.

His reaction and that of Elsa to this power were clearly different.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA! TO THINK THE ONE SENT TO INHERIT MY SEALED ARTIFACT IS NOTHING BUT A COWARD. DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE WHAT BELONGS TO ME?” The voice of the earth elemental ancestor dragon boomed and Elsa shivered even more

She was completely terrified and unable to move, failing to notice the sand gathering within the sand storm to form numerous sand spears.

Xiu!

Xiu!

Xiu!

The countless spears raced forward while Elsa remained seated with her hands covering her face and tears rolling down. All her life she has been hiding behind people and has never taken the initiative to get what she wants.

She hid behind the elves and betrayed the hosts because she didn’t think she had what it takes to become a new god.

She only broke away from the elves only because she realized they were going to take her life and Damon came to take her away. She already had a feeling that her people would kill her after using her but she didn’t think she had what it takes to escape until Damon arrived and took her away.

She has never been anything on her own because of her cowardly heart.

She was only following them in this quest because she had no other choice. The world was against her so she needs to survive but with her current level, she wasn’t bold enough to look a demigod in the eye.

“Damon... please” Elsa muttered while tears ran down her eyes, oblivious of the sand spears racing her way.
