Paragon of Death

Chapter 90

90 Chapter 89: I too have a pathway

Kill!

Bang!

The silver knight let out a furious growl as he swung his blade cruelly! Damon stood with the three purple wolves surrounding him. His cold gaze turned grim as the silver aura surging towards him kept getting fiercer by the second, spreading across the room terribly.

“This....” Damon muttered as his eyes revealed a hint of fear as he and the purple wolves were getting swallowed by the blinding light!

Hmph!

Boom!

Blegggh!

Damon slid out of the thick cloud of smoke and began staggering down the stairs. His hair which was once nearly packed was now scattered and rough, with the left side soaked in blood which rolled down Damon’s face, all the way to his lips.

Damon tightened his grip on where his left hand should be. It has been completely severed after the previous attack, leaving him in a critical condition! If it wasn’t for his healing factor, he probably would have bled out already!

.....

“Where do you think you are going, young lone wolf? No one can save you from me today!”

Damon heard the voice of the cruel silver night booming across the room and his mind couldn’t help but feel agitated.

How is he supposed to wrap his head around the fact that he cultivated for days with no meal or rest, only to be attacked by an enemy he can’t even tell how strong he is?

Damon staggered down the stairs, leaving a trail of blood behind. As soon as he reached the next floor below, his eyes squinted and he quickly leaped backward!

Boom!

The ceiling above him exploded violently as the silver knight dropped from above, landing on one knee while both hands held onto the cross-shaped hilt as if he was saying some sort of prayer.

“You cannot escape!” The silver knight said coldly as he tightened his grip to the hilt of his blade and began walking forward once again.

His steps were slow and short yet Damon felt like the enemy had taken a thousand steps. He could feel the threat of death looming over his head and his head raced, as he pondered on what to do.

If he were to use his death magic here, he would be revealing his identity to anyone who finally attempts to rescue him. Considering the skill gap, he wasn’t even sure the death magic would allow him to breach the gap in strength. In fact, he suspected the enemy may even be a champion realm expert!

“I will risk my life against you!” Damon said coldly as he took a step back leaving more bloody footprints.

“Hmph! Like you have a choice!” The silver knight snorted coldly and shot forward!

Swish!

His blade swung horizontally but Damon managed to crouch in time, in the end only a few strands of hair were cut!

“Ooh?” The silver knight was slightly stunned by to this. Considering Damon’s condition, he shouldn’t even be able to dodge anymore. The silver blade was suppressing his healing factor so he was no different from a werewolf with one of its most important abilities!

“Concentrate!”

A cold detached voice could be heard as time seemed to have stopped as fierce flame and wind surged dangerously around Damon! It looked like an unstable power source about to explode!

Boom!

“Die for me!” Damon’s cold voice boomed like lightning across the corridor as a fierce explosion rocked and the silver knight could be seen sliding back with his sword embedded in the ground.

Around him was the same silver halo, preventing any of Damon’s attacks from reaching him.

His eyes quickly lit up as they fell on Damon who stood within the dust with a cold look in his fiery purple eyes. In an instant, the entire room fell silent as Damon could be seen standing with both hands shoved deep into his pocket, and around him were countless normal-sized purple wolves, every single one howling at the top of their voice.

His entire side of the corridor was completely covered by these beasts, each glaring fiercely at the silver knight!

“Impossible! How can this happen?” The silver knight was taken aback.

The creation pathway allowed one to share his consciousness with his spells, granting it a certain level of intelligence but it didn’t mean a mage could use it indefinitely. A normal creation mage can showcase the strength of his pathway in one of his spells and the talented ones can have two living spells but Damon created three living wolves the first time.

Even though this stunned the silver knight he didn’t speak on it but now, seeing over twenty purple wolves, purely made of Damon’s mana, the enemy couldn’t help but frown.

“I am king! If you wish to steal my life, you will need a lot more” Damon said as his eyes fell on the silver knight.

“Do you think, I am afraid of a few dogs?” The silver knight asked furiously!

“Nope, I am the one you should be afraid of! I am far more than you can ever hope to handle!” Damon’s words were cold but resolute!

The Silver Knight trembled inwardly. For some reason, he felt like he was fighting someone else entirely. The vibes Damon was giving off were too cold and dark for a child his age! He shouldn’t be this capable!

“I will end you now!” The Silver Knight said as his gaze turned stern. He planned to make a move but was quickly cut short by Damon!

“You won’t get the chance!” Damon declared as a purple wolf lunged forward without hesitation.

In reply, the silver knight swung his sword to meet the silver wolf, but surprisingly, as soon as his blade made contact with the wolf, it exploded!

Boom!

Thud!

The silver knight landed on his feet some meters away from the explosion site but the moment his feet touched the ground, three purple wolves were already in their position, glowing brightly!

At this moment it felt like time paused as the wolves prepared to detonate, meanwhile, the silver knight spotted more wolves racing towards them and Damon in the background, creating more wolves!

Mana was no problem so why stop?

Shit!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Explosions rocked the imperial palace as countless structures were left badly damaged or completely destroyed!

Bang!

The silver knight was thrown down the stairs by the explosion, smashing into the wall opposite the stairs.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, forcing it to leak out of his helmet, meanwhile, his eyes were that of shock and terror! The creation and destruction pathways are considered the most basic and simple pathways in history and this kid still picked them both.

He had expected an easy fight, yet Damon seemed to have overwhelmed him with sheer power!

Countless wolves were already running down the stairs while Damon casually walked down. His eyes were void of all forms of emotions as more wolves lunged forward, exploding violently!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In the blink of countless explosions erupted, threatening to consume the silver knight!

“You!!!!!” The silver knight bellowed with bloodshot eyes as his silver aura exploded and a fierce surge of energy escaped the tip of his blade, splitting the explosion in two!

“Ooh?” Damon’s eyebrows lifted slightly at the sight of this. This is the first time he is seeing someone accomplish such a feat!

“Impressive”

Buzz!

Damon’s casual compliment made the face of the silver knight turn red with embarrassment as he gripped his sword and let out a furious cry!

“Don’t you dare think you are the only one with a pathway!” The silver knight bellowed as his body exploded with intimidating power!

Sensing this, Damon frowned. With this alone, he could confirm the enemy was a warrior realm expert like him. Probably on the same amateur level yet the difference in their strength seemed sizeable.

‘This person is definitely not a normal person!’ Damon concluded in his heart.

He watched as the enemy’s silver energy surged around, taking the shape of countless silver blades which hung above in the air as if invisible knights were holding on to each of the blades.

“In a battle of quantity, I definitely won’t lose to you!” The silver knight growled. He sounded rather competitive than hostile.

This made Damon wonder if this kid was suffering from some sort of inferiority complex or something.

“I will not be held accountable for your death” Damon replied dryly as his claws began to sprout and his muscles began to bulge. Blue light could be seen surging within his body, reinforcing his skin and strengthening his body!

Damon snapped his neck twice before walking towards the enemy. Even, on one hand, he intended to take on the enemy in what can be considered the most dangerous battle he has gotten involved in.

Around him were about thirty or so energy wolves. While his consciousness is not enough to spread across that many wolves, Damon chose to take a new approach which no one would have ever expected. Instead of sharing his consciousness amongst his spells, he pushed in the consciousness of the souls he had consumed into these beasts, allowing him to control so many at once.
