Paragon of Death

215 Chapter 214: Blink’s blunder

“You don’t have to worry. You will be granted that reward when I take Gyro and make it mine” Damon said coldly.

No!

Buzzz!

Damon frowned deeply as he gazed at the man. His hand opened slightly and the death scythe took form from nothing. At a moment, Damon was without a weapon but now he had one in his hands.

“My family stood and protected this kingdom for more than four generations. I would have loved to stand aside knowing how powerless I am to you but I can’t! Daniel Ross said with a bitter smile on his face.

His eyes seemed tired and weak as if he had no other choice. As a weak man, he could only let his fate be decided by others. Since Gyro has decided to sacrifice him, he will serve Gyro as a sacrifice.

“You…” Damon frowned but his mind was in complete turmoil. He couldn’t bring himself to harm Daniel Ross.

“If you are unwilling to take my life, then turn back! Please!” Daniel Ross begged and bowed deeply making the frown on Damon’s face deepen.

Unknown to him, his hand welding the death scythe was trembling while his undead army had already halted their advance. They could feel the hesitation in the heart of their master, so they could only act accordingly.

.....

“DA…..”

Splash!

Damon was about to speak but his eyes widened as warm blood splashed on him. His eyes shifted to the silver-haired figure beside him with a silver dagger stabbing deep into Daniel Ross’s throat.

“Do not forget why we are here and what we are doing. Elsa, Gin, and Cyrus are taking the remaining three kingdoms as we speak. I have managed to pull out all major figures in these kingdoms and move them here since they are short of soldiers over there. Our attack was abrupt and the invaders were taken by surprise. Before they understand what’s happening and try to get to us, the battle must have ended! There is no better time to take Gyro than now! I will not let anyone stand in your way” Blink’s cold voice boomed as the figure of the helpless human cell to the ground.

His eyes widened due to shock as he died at the hands of his foster son’s disciple. Unwillingness filled his eyes which remained wide open as he kept gazing at Damon and he kept trying to speak but he could only cough up blood.

Damon was petrified and unable to speak.

His eyes shifted from Blink and he seemed as if he was going to say something but he stopped. His eyes shifted to the dying Daniel Ross and he felt helpless for the first time.

He had the ability to take life but he could not create real life. He could only take an existent consciousness but the process of letting such consciousness pass through him changes it drastically. His undead soldiers are never the same as the normal souls of the normal dead person.

“What did you do?” Damon’s killing intent flared up for the first time but it was directed at Blink.

Buzzz!

Blink paled in fright and his body was rooted to a certain spot. He felt his legs turn weak and he quickly fell to his knees with a face drenched in sweat and a heart beating so fast and hard one would think it was going to explode.

But all of this lasted only for a second as Damon quickly gained a grip on himself and looked away. His eyes were filled with reluctance as he opened his palm and a powerful suction force erupted from him, pulling in the soul.

Right now, he can only take control of this soul and keep it until he is able to find a way around this. His eyes shifted to the figure located at the side and he casually ignored it and strode forward.

His dark eyes turned blood red as bony claws emerged from below stabbing into Daniel Ross’s body and bleeding it out before pulling it to the ground. His blood gathered and formed a blood red bead. Damon simply took hold of it and shoved it into his robe.

“I will leave these small fries to you… I will be moving ahead” Damon said in a tone void of all forms of emotions.

Without waiting for Blink to respond to his words, Damon casually flew off the ground and into the sky. Blink was left behind on his knees with a deadly pale face. His eyes were pinned on the place where Daniel Ross’s corpse was and he wondered who this man that prompted his master to behave like this was.

He has never heard of him or anything. He saw the man blocking his master’s way and he took the man’s life! He simply thought it was a weakling trying to talk Damon out of his plans and he wasn’t going to let that happen.

If he knew this man was someone important to his master he wouldn’t dare take his life and Damon knew that deep down. That’s probably why he didn’t kill Blink but that doesn’t change the fact that the mistake has been made. As of this moment, he didn’t feel the need to be with anyone else. He just wanted to keep moving forward and vent out his anger on those he considered his enemies and not his allies.

Yes! If there is someone to blame for Daniel Ross’s death then it should be the person who sent them out here as a sacrifice to hold him back and buy time. Regardless of what Blink did, he would have eventually killed Daniel Ross since he never entertained the thought of retreating, he only didn’t want the man dead.

“Kill only those who fight… Kill only those who pick up their arms. Should one more innocent person die at your hands, I will take your life myself!” Damon’s cruel voice boomed from the clouds where he vanished and Blink paled even more.

No one knew why but he was shaken to the core.
