Paragon of Death

84 Chapter 83: Unwilling

“Damon Ross!” Kyle growled furiously as the countless shadowy figures holding him down were blown away by an immense red aura and his strength began climbing!

The shockwave sent Damon spiraling back with a stunned expression on his face since he didn’t expect such a comeback!

Bang!

The enemy had no intention of giving Damon the chance to recover as his body shot forward like a spear!

Boom!

Damon swung his arm and intense flames surged forward, forming a sturdy wall between him and the vampire.

Bam!

A fierce shockwave erupted as the enemy’s palm struck the surface of the flame and for a moment it seemed like his advance had been paused but the next moment it tore through the flames and smashed into Damon’s chest!

Blegh!

.....

Damon spat out a mouthful of blood as his body rocketed backward.

Boom!

Damon’s feet struck the ground, forcing him to slide back! His momentum was slowly reducing but then he reached the edge of the floor and fell off the staircase leading down!

Fuck!

His legs slipped yet the enemy had no intentions of watching him fall, instead, his body reached Damon before he had fallen past the first stair and his hand swung down ruthlessly?!

Boom!

Damon was like a cannon bolt as he shut down the stairs and struck the ground, creating a small crater.

“We servants of the first are not like any normal vampire you meet” Kyle said as he walked down the stairs. Sounds of battle outside filled the air but the duo within the forbidden palace could hear each other perfectly well.

“A person becomes a vampire and loses all his abilities. He spends the first few days hiding while trying to realize what he has become. The thirst is strong and intense and if it is a good hearted person with a fair level of resistance, he may last two to three days before having to feed.” Kyle said. By now he had already gone down three stairs.

“As a vampire, there are two ways for growth. The first is time. As time passes, you grow stronger. With each year that clocks by, each century that passes by, your strength rises by an entire realm. Meaning, that if you become a vampire today, even if you refuse to fight and stay hidden for a century, your strength will rise to be on par with that of a warrior realm expert. How can you claim this is a curse?” Kyle said with glowing eyes. His words seemed to be aimed at changing Damon’s view of the vampires.

“I reached the warrior realm in six months... I understand my means are unique and I agree but a fairly talented person would require two years at most to become a warrior realm expert. Why would I want to wait for an entire century for something I can get in a year or two?” Damon dusted his body but he still remained sitting, he didn’t seem bothered by the enemy approaching confidently.

He lacked fear! Something only achievable by relying on the power of death.

“You....” Kyle’s face twisted as he heard the reply.

He didn’t expect Damon to have a sharp tongue but he couldn’t refute his words because they were true and Damon didn’t give him the chance.

“Vampires grow stronger with time but also with blood. A vampire can spend days without consuming blood. In fact, if not for the temporary weakness that comes with it, they may even be able to go on without blood for eternity. Unfortunately, not only is it addictive and the issue of the thirst but it is also a means of getting stronger... Vampires who choose to gain strength by consuming terrifying quantities of blood are called Blood evolvers” Damon said and Kyle frowned.

He has aimed at educating Damon a bit about the people he hates so much and is biased towards but it turned out that Damon was well knowledgeable about the vampires.

“You seem to know a lot” Kyle said as he watched Damon stand from the floor his eyes twitched but he didn’t move.

“Why wouldn’t I know much about my enemy? No, tell me, what do you know about a death mage lone wolf, outside the usual, radical rumors spread about us?” Damon asked but Kyle frowned in response and Damon smiled.

“As expected, you know nothing.... Know your enemy and you will emerge victorious... can you see you are destined to die here?” Damon asked!

Impudent!

Bang!

Kyle furiously shot down the stairs like a spear, racing towards Damon! He refused to let someone weaker than him, talk down on him and get away with it.

Does he know what it means to be a vampire?

Does he know the various pathways available for vampires?

The kind of power they can cultivate?

Then how dare he talk like everything is in his grasp?

“As of now, you can no longer threaten me” Damon’s cold voice rang across the room as his eyes revealed a bright flash!

Pa!

Clasping his hands together, his body was covered by his exoskeletal bone armor and from the ground below, a bone greatsword slowly emerged and flew into his hands.

Peng!

The two clashed as Damon ruthlessly swung his sword smashed into the open plan of the enemy and a shockwave erupted, sending Damon retreating back!

Bam!

The blazing purple eyes within the mask lit up as Damon stomped his feet on the ground to stop his retreat. His eyes squinted as he watched the figure shooting towards him with blood surging around him.

Haaaa!

Damon growled as his blade was consumed by darkish purple flames and swung down, racing towards Kyle’s figure without hesitation!

Blood control: Typhoon!

Booom!

The blood surging around Kyle suddenly exploded in fierce light as more began surging more intensely while forming a tornado with him at the center!

Buzzz!

Damon stood planted on the ground as some minor burning furniture flew forward and into the blood hurricane.

Hmph!

Damon snorted disdainfully as he snapped his fingers and his body exploded into cold darkish purple flames and his shadow danced madly, surging towards his blade!

“Split the skies, shatter the heavens!” Damon snorted coldly as his blade swung down and everything in its path was instantly split in two, including the blood hurricanes!

“DAMON ROSS, HAND OVER YOUR LIFE!” A furious cry reached the heavens as a figure descended from above with his aura surging so dangerously, it fused with his blood to form a sword in his hands!

Hmph!

Brilliant claw!

Damon’s eyebrows furrowed as his blade exploded with a darkish purple aura and the two clashed fiercely!

Boom!

Damon’s feet sank into the ground as the place around them exploded violently.

Ha!

Boom!

Countless shockwaves filled the air as the two battled fiercely. With each clash, Damon was forced to retreat while each shockwave weakened the burning pillars around them. The battle was taking place in the spacious grand Hall of the forbidden palace filled with countless corpses, yet enough room!

“HAHAHAHAHA! If this is the best the death mage is capable of, then I overestimated him! I came here to fight a powerful foe and even gave you enough chances to deal fatal blows. I must say I am disappointed!” Kyle laughed as his advantage in the battle kept rising rapidly!

For every three times they clashed, Damon was left with a deep cut wound which healed right away! It felt like two immortal beings battling each other in the final days of the world!

“Hmph! If you were half as smart as you make yourself look, then you would have realized I haven’t even shown you a glimpse of my power... the location makes it impossible for me to showcase my full strength! You are nothing!” Damon snorted disdainfully as his body was blown back by an attack and a deep gash could be seen on his belly, making his organs visible.

At the same time, his body began healing at a far more terrifying rate than usual! Damon stood with a frown as he held on to his sword without speaking a word. Even if all his life all his words could be considered a lie then this one can be considered the only truthful thing he has said.

Damon knew nothing to do. Having memories simply means he knew a former guardian spirit host used this ability. It’s like him watching them but that doesn’t necessarily mean he knows them.

It’s just like having a child watch how a car is built just once and expecting him to build one perfectly immediately after. In reality, he knew nothing about his capabilities as a death mage and even worse, he was unwilling to use more frightening dark elements tied to the death magic.

Even though he can hide a portion of his death power within this chaos, there were just some abilities that left him disturbed. Things even he, Damon Ross wouldn’t want to use! Those abilities are a strong show of the true strength of a death mage!

Something he is not willing to use.
