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 14: I have magic too, you know that right?

"Shut up, all of you." Damon said in a calm voice, but everyone heard it, and the entire arena was as quiet as a graveyard.

"Blah! Blah! Blah! All you do is talk and nothing more…. Weak piece of shit! Noble bloodline, my ass! If this is what it means to be a noble, then I rather be a commoner!" Damon said and spat on the ground.

"This kid is dead!"

"Kill him now!"

Many screamed in rage, and they all wanted to attack, but then a loud thunderclap sound erupted above, and the entire place turned silent!

Everyone looked up to see two men standing on a higher platform while gazing down at them. It was Duke Hail and the old man in green robes!

"This was meant to be a spar, Luthor Wright lost. Unable to take defeat, you turned this into a death match now you wish to break the rules you set again? How low have nobles fallen?" the old man said with a booming voice and everyone lowered their heads, none dared to look up.

"This fight will continue as planned, no one interferes, or they will have me to deal with!" The old man said coldly, and Luthor's face turned pale instantly!

He shifted his gaze to Damon, who remained indifferent even after hearing those words, and he frowned.

"You have the blood of the Wright family in you, young master! You have no reason to fear! Kill him immediately!" The aged lady said to encourage Luthor!

"Yes, kill him! Show him the power of the Wright family! The power of nobles!" Many screamed.

Since they couldn't get involved in the battle, they could only encourage Luthor.

"You know I have magic too, right?" Damon said casually with a raised eyebrow.

His words were like daggers stabbing deep into the hearts of everyone who heard it. Right now they realized all this while Damon had been fitting with his fists and dagger. He had never tried to use magic!

Surely someone with as strong a magic affinity as Damon can do far more than just talk?

Bang!

Fierce flames engulfed Damon's fists and his shadow expanded while a fierce wind surged around him. Within the midst of all of this, Damon stood with a cold look on his face. He was far different from before.

"Here I come." Damon said dryly.

Bang!

Xiu!

Damon shot forward like an arrow. His feet barely touched the ground as he ran, making people frown. It looked like he was skating while the wind carried him farther and faster!

"KILL HIM!" Luthor growled as the two skeleton warriors dashed forward, swinging their claws at Damon!

Swoosh!

Damon suddenly launched into the air with fiery fists surging dangerously! The bone skeletons tried to move, but they couldn't, everyone could not see it at first, but then they saw black spikes shooting out of their bodies and impaling them, pinning them to that spot.

"This is not normal manipulation! This is an actual shadow spell! How can he use it without any preparation?" someone screamed.

"What the hell is this kid?"

"Daniel Ross birthed a monster!"

"Mercy…" The lady from the Wright family muttered, but didn't dare move. The cold gaze of the old man was pinned on her fiercely.

Even if she wanted to move, she wouldn't be able.

Bang!

Damon landed roughly in front of the defenseless Luthor with a cold look on his face.

"Please…"

Bang!

Luthor's head exploded like a watermelon as Damon threw a punch at him with his reinforced power plus the first fist!

Did he dare to kill a noble?

People watched in disbelief as the headless body of Luthor fell to the ground and blood gushed out. The cruelty of this twelve-year-old was so terrifying, that even Daniel couldn't help but swallow a ball of saliva while controlling his breathing.

Somehow, this commoner is good at everything.

And also has a ruthless personality which shouldn't be seen among twelve-year-olds!

"I think you brought in a demon into your family, not a child" Liana commented as this image would never leave her head.

Damon stood with his expanded circular shadow, with his fists surging fiercely with flames and his body surrounded by a strong wind.

All over his body were faint blue mana markings as a sign of using reinforcement! Right now, he didn't look like a child, but a warlord who has lived through countless battles. His cold eyes were fixated on the headless body, still squirting out blood uncontrollably.

"I told you I will send you to the underworld first…" Damon said to the corpse.

The entire arena was silent, Meanwhile, the Wright family members remained seated, struggling to control their rage. They all gazed at Damon with murderous intentions, but they hated more that nothing could be done about it.

At least right now!

"The death match is over… Damon Ross won… you can now claim the body of the deceased… Also, let it be known that all forms of vengeance directed towards the winner of today's battle will be met with the death penalty at my hands… Damon Ross is hereby admitted into this Academy and, like other students, he has my protection…" The old man said with a stern look.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a figure jumped into the area from the higher platform, landing beside Damon. It was Duke Hail!

"Also, the Ross family is hereby under the protection of the Hail family…. As well as Damon Ross… Should any of you dare go against them, the Arch mage is not the only person you will have to worry about" Duke Hail said with his usual jovial smile.

His words and that of the Arch mage still weren't enough to move the spaced-out, Damon.

For some reason, he kept gazing at the body, strangely unable to look. People found this strange and wondered if he had a traumatic experience when he was younger.

Either way, none of that mattered now. All they know is that Damon had made an enemy out of many nobles today and his life in this kingdom will be slightly harder than expected!
