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 13: Terrifying fighting talent!

"What the hell is this?" Daniel Ross growled, but he was surrounded by mages at higher realms.

The Magic Academy had their people there to make sure they stopped him from interfering too. It was hopeless.

"No one interferes in the examination." One of the examiners dressed in Gray robes said coldly.

The lady seemed slightly aged, maybe in her mid-fifties, and she wore glances.

"This is no longer an examination! The life of a distinguished student is at risk, put an end to it!" Liana growled.

"Watch your tone, wretch! You are in no position to dictate the actions of the Magic Academy." The lady said coldly and didn't bother paying attention to Liana or Daniel Ross again.

The corruption in the kingdom was just too glaring. Nobles can do whatever they please, and even go as far as to bully lesser nobles into submission.

"You will die here!" Luthor said coldly as the two plain skeleton warriors staggered forward slowly.

"Death is inevitable. If mine comes today, then that's fine, but that doesn't mean I won't try sending you there first!" the calm Damon suddenly turned fierce as he charged forward without hesitation, but this time he didn't cast the shadowless flight.

The shadowless flight is a movement technique that focuses on traveling within the enemy's blind spot. It is a tool for assassins unfortunately, it is too low level, a lot of people already know about the secrets of the technique, rendering it almost ineffective in this kingdom.

Since Luthor has already seen it before, it's possible he would put his guard up, so trying it out and hoping it works can be considered impossible.

Nevertheless, Damon infused his mana with his body, just as he was taught by Daniel Ross, so how movement speed was quite higher than the normal level!

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the supposed slow skeleton warriors dashed forward like crazed beasts, closing the distance between them and Damon almost instantly!

"What the hell?" Damon gasped as he saw the bony claws swinging at him ruthlessly!

Pa!

His eyes squinted as his hands reached for the dagger sheathed at his waist! Seeing he had no intentions of retreating, people were shocked.

Is he suicidal?

That was the thought racing through the minds of many!

Duck!

Damon's upper half leaned forward and low enough for the claws of the skeletons to brush past his fluttering hair!

Xiu!

Damon raced past his bony foes with murderous intentions blazing in his eyes.

"Come back now!" Luthor was terrified upon seeing the look in his eyes and tried to retreat but fell on his buttocks again.

He had no choice but to crawl away in hopes of running from Damon!

No one expected him to successfully evade such an attack using such a method!

Clank!

Clank!

The skeletons stopped and after a brief pause, they began racing towards Damon again, surprisingly catching up to him before he could reach Luthor!

"So fast!" Damon gasped in shock as he saw two claws swing towards him from behind!

Gritting his teeth, Damon stopped his advance and crouched once again to dodge the attack while his dagger flashed fiercely!

Peng!

The blade shattered on the body of the skeleton and Damon's palm tore due to the clash, bleeding badly!

"Sturdy as well…" Damon could sense nothing was going according to plan anymore, but he wasn't flustered

Swoosh!

A skeleton warrior swung its feet at the crouched Damon, but it couldn't hit its target as Damon was already airborne, wearing a stern look on his face!

Clank!

The second skeleton jumped into the air with its open claw, racing towards Damon's face, but Damon didn't look flustered.

His face tilted to the right while his clenched fist swung forward ruthlessly, aiming for the skeleton's hollow chest!

Bang!

Following the loud explosion sound, the skeleton was seen flying back, crashing to the ground violently while Damon fell to the ground on his feet, but he landed roughly, raising some dust!

"Isn't that the bigger stage all fighters must pass through before choosing a class?"

"They use mana to reinforce their body, granting them superhuman capabilities! My God! What has the Ross family been teaching this kid?"

"Reinforcement! It is called reinforcement! How can he be talented as a mage and as a fighter as well?"

"It's a shame he will die here, if it was against a single skeleton warrior he would have won, but two is just too much… he won't survive this"

"Yeah, the skeleton warriors have strengths comparable to reinforced humans, plus they are indestructible for people at this level… it will only fix itself once destroyed…"

"Necromancers have always been terrifying! The only way to defeat them is to kill the summoner… but with this current level of strength, Damon Ross cannot reach Luthor"

Many people spoke their minds, infuriating Daniel Ross even more. He hated the fact that he couldn't help Damon in his time of need. He dragged this kid into this violent life and can't even protect him.

What kind of person is he?

He wanted to speak, but then he saw a thumbs-up thrown in his direction by Damon, leaving him and the audience stunned.

"Don't worry, this won't take long" Damon said in a calm and cool voice which created an uproar amongst the crowd.

While many were excited by Damon's cocky attitude, other nobles were extremely infuriated.

Does this kid think he can just say crap as he pleases?

"KILL HIM!" Someone within the crowd screamed, and many people began screaming the same words.

They all wanted to see Damon dead now.

Cocky brats like this shouldn't be allowed to do as they wish. Maybe he would learn his lesson in the depths of the underworld.

Hearing the crowd was on his side gave Luthor more confidence, and he quickly rose to his feet and dusted his robes. He wore a dignified look on his face again as he gazed at Damon with disdain and spoke.

"If you know the power within the noble bloodline, you wouldn't dare say crap in the presence of these nobles! You will atone for your sin with your life!" Luthor said coldly and loud enough for everyone to hear!
