Paragon of Death

Life from birth has been nothing but hell. I lost my parents to some stupid aristocrats whom they offended. Executed for no good reason. My relatives abandoned me and pushed me aside. They feared for their lives and left me and my sister to starve and wander the streets alone! No, this is worse than hell! I watched my sister die of starvation. Her lips were dry and her feet bloody. Her nails were broken and her fingers riddled with cuts. She struggled in my hands and after a few seconds of struggle she passed away. She seemed joyful in death so I prayed mine will come just as swift and merciful as hers. So I stayed in the alleyway, alone with her rotten corpse awaiting my fate for God knows how long. I could see it already. The darkness encroaching from all sides Everyone said death is scary but I say it's the end! Who needs life after death? What is the need for reincarnation? Who would want to return to this crazy world? "It's not yet time for you to go... You have one more task to accomplish as my host" A voice called out to me. I could barely see or speak but how can I miss such a beautiful face? It was an extremely handsome man who gazed at me with tender eyes. "Haven't I suffered enough? Can't I just rest?" I cried out. Why would I want to stay back in such a cruel world? "Don't you want to avenge the death of your parents? Don't you want to become something greater? I can make that happen!" The beautiful man said with an alluring voice. "You... Who are you?" I asked with an anxious heart. My parents always said God is the only one who cares about me! Maybe in my final hours, he has come to save me. "Call me Death..."

Chapter 12: Injustice

Damon's remark brought silence to the entire arena as people looked at the bastard son of a mere Baron with big balls. Their gaze shifted from Damon to Daniel Ross from time to time, leading many to believe something wrong just happened.

Is this boy just cocky, or is he ignorant of the power only the Wright family possesses?

Either way, an explanation would no longer be needed, as Luthor was pissed. His face twisted in rage as a magic circle began forming beneath his feet.

It was black with a touch of gray and on the circle were numerous symbols slowly getting engraved!

People watched in anticipation as Luthor poured a considerable amount of mana and concentration into forming this necromancy magic circle, making people wonder what kind of beast he planned to summon!

Xiu!

"This fight is over… I win…"

A cold breeze blew as Damon could be seen standing in front of Luthor with his dagger pressed tightly to the throat of the boy, leaving a shallow wound that made blood trickle down.

Luthor lost concentration and the magic circle beneath his feet shattered as he fell back on his bottom with a terrified look on his face. If anyone told him something like this would happen, he never would have accepted.

The entire arena was silent like a graveyard as they gazed at Damon as if he were a beast. How can a kid who has triple elements as a distinguished student, who is claimed to have a strong affinity to all three elements, also be so physically fit like a fighter?

"That was the shadowless flight! I recognize the move! A secret technique limited to the Ross family only!" Someone in the crowd cried out, and the others nodded in agreement.

They soon realized how Damon closed the distance between him and Luthor so quickly that the kid couldn't even finish casting his spell, but even this made them more terrified of this monster of a kid below!

He actually managed to learn the shadowless flight to this level, even though he is meant to be a mage type, not a fighter. It's no wonder Daniel Ross dared point a blade at Earl Linton in defense of this child.

If they had a son like this, they wouldn't even blink an eye to go against a noble for his sake!

"The Ross family had such a talented child amongst them… unfortunately he is a bastard son and can't inherit the family as his own." The old mage said while rubbing his beard. He didn't seem bothered by the fact Damon used such a method to win.

"And here I thought the kid was buttering me up when we had a chat last night. I never expected him to have practiced a fighter secret technique to this degree. His interest in fighters is quite genuine! This kid keeps impressing me more and more! " Duke Hail laughed.

Even Daniel Ross and Liana were stunned by what they saw. They never expected Damon to have reached this level of proficiency with the shadowless flight. Talk less about choosing to use it in a mage battle.

"You cheated! How dare you use a fighter technique in a battle of mages? Cheater!" Luthor screamed like a madman!

"Are you dumb or just stupid?" Damon responded while gazing at Luther as if he was speaking to an imbecile.

"In a real fight, you would be dead right now, so who would care whether I cheated or not? The last time I checked, there were no rules against my actions… You are just weak." Damon shrugged his shoulders as he shoved both hands into his pockets and began walking away!

His arrogance is something Luthor could not deal with! He had lived so long looking down on people, but today he could only sit and watch as a nobody looked down on him in disgust!

Unacceptable!

How will he face his family if he lets this slide?

"And who said you are allowed to leave!" Luthor bellowed as he rose to his feet, a fierce power exploded from his body as another magic circle formed beneath his feet and the magic symbols began forming even faster.

"I can leave whenever I choose to" Damon responded coldly as he didn't even bother looking back!

Arrogant!

The ground beneath Luthor began turning black, spreading like a plague! It looked like a barren land spreading with Luthor as the originator, and this made Damon frown.

He could feel the chilly air of death spreading, and surprisingly it felt good. His eyes were filled with contempt as they remained pinned on Luthor and not the two skeletons forcing their way out of the ground.

They all looked like lifeless puppets, dangling loosely with a creaking sound with each movement that they made!

Two undying?

He is truly the prodigy of the Wright family! It was really amazing that someone so young could possess the power to do this!

"Yea! If Damon attacked right away he would have won, but now these two are here, it's over for him!"

Many people threw their opinions around, but Damon looked unmoved. Instead, he looked disappointed. All that's waiting just to see this?

He noted that the fight should be over already, but the officials seemed to be turning a blind eye to things since they did not wish to get on the bad side of the Wright family.

Even in an academy like this which should be fair and square, the influence of the nobles can still be found here. The corruption in the academy can be considered scary for kids with no background.

Damon may be an alleged son of a Baron, but in this part of the county, Barons are no different from normal civilians with no status or power, so it wasn't too surprising that things turned out this way.

What was meant to be a spar quickly turned into a possible death match where Damon would be fighting for his life.

Daniel Ross and Liana were ready to interfere, but they were already confronted by the people of the Wright family, yet the academy made no attempts to stop what was going on.

I'm sorry for the inactivity. I'm swamped with work from another project... I'm multitasking right now and I am at a crucial point now... Release speed will return to normal by the first day of the new month.

Please be patient...
