180 Chapter 179: Damon’s decision
Damon stood with a frown on his face as he gazed at the figure above. He seemed lost in thought as the will to fight left his body. To be honest, he was in n a critical condition, reducing his strength greatly. If he were to fight a powerful spirit realm host with a sealed artifact with a power almost comparable to a demigod-level being, his defeat is imminent. For some reason, he was quite sure that the immortal body will not be enough to protect him from harm.
This time he may actually die.
Checkmate!
Damon frowned as those words rang in his head. With this move alone, not only has he lost the chance to gain the sealed artifact, but he is also giving up the sealed artifact to the enemy.
“This...” Damon frowned with a cruel look on his face.
He deeply hated the fact that he may have to leave this place and give up such an important item to the enemy.
“In the past, we dragons lost our standing in the world because we completely depended on one side and now we are about to make the same mistake again. My comrades want to join hands with the old gods and wipe out the new gods for the last time. They think that’s what they want but when the new gods are gone for good what makes them think the old gods will let powerful beings like us live?” The ancestral dragon’s voice boomed and Damon frowned.
“You need both sides alive and at each other’s throat. That’s the only way for the dragons to come out on top of this” Damon muttered with a frown.
“No, we will keep pushing until both sides eradicate themselves. Only then will the dragons gain true power” The ancestral voice spoke without any form of hesitation.
.....
“Then tell me, what do you think I should do?” Damon asked with a sinister smile. His eyes seemed to lack all forms of emotions now and his previous worries were gone.
“Why would I work with someone who would just kill me off when I’m done with my enemy?” Damon asked.
“Because you don’t have a choice. You get to leave this place alive and you have a chance of fulfilling your dream of eradicating the old gods” the voice seemed to not care about Damon’s words.
Hearing this a cruel grin bloomed on Damon’s face as he staggered back and forth like a drunk man.
“You know what? I don’t actually dream of breathing the old gods. I don’t really care who the old gods are. My dream is simply to create a world where I and those I care about can live in peace and not get chased down like dogs. My dream is to survive, that’s why I must become the strongest and remove all threats. Do you see why you and I can never agree on this?” Damon said with a mocking smile while his eyes slowly turned red.
Damon Ross never backs down from a fight regardless of his condition.
Unknown to Damon, Cyrus was watching his conversation with the ancestral dragon of life and death. He seemed moved by Damon’s words and a wicked smile slowly spread across his face.
“As you can see, my friend has rejected your offer. If he is prepared to sacrifice his life then I would be a fool to let this little fire dragon leave this place alive.” Cyrus said with a cruel look as his golden aura exploded violently while twisting to form the massive golden broadsword!
Kill!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The massive golden blade flew through the smoke, piercing through the air as it flung itself recklessly at the enemy!
“YOU!” Fei growled in anger as the dragon head gauntlets in his hands lit up with power.
His eyes seemed to shine bright while his power surged uncontrollably. With a simple punch, a powerful sea of flames poured out, taking the form of a dragon head attempting to swallow the golden sword!
“I won’t let you!” Cyrus slides across the wind, into the sky gracefully with his hands clasped together.
Bam!
The massive golden sword exploded and became countless smaller golden swords. With Cyrus guiding it, they all maneuvered their way past the fire dragon, and almost quickly a stunning amount of golden blades hovered around Fei!
Kill!
Swoosh!
The golden swords rained down forcing Fei to retreat while his skin was slowly covered by dragon scales causing most swords that manage to hit just bounce off.
“Don’t think it’s over yet!” Cyrus let go of his dear but it remained suspended in mid-air, spinning dangerously.
Boom!
Like a missile he shot forward, closing the gap between him and Fei.
Bang!
“Guardian weapon: Divine spear of retribution!
Cyrus’ words hit the world hard as the golden swords exploded and soon took the form of a massive golden spear, shooting forward ahead of its master!
“You!” Fei growled furiously as the gauntlets it up and he punched out, releasing a fiery dragon at the massive golden spear.
Boom!
The world trembled as if it was going to collapse at any moment. The fiery dragon smashed into the golden spear and a fierce battle ensured in mid-air, meanwhile, Cyrus’s spear struck the hole in Fei’s chest causing the world around them to twist dangerously as his power surged forward uncontrollably.
Gaaah!
Fei spat out a mouthful of blood as his body shot back. Cyrus could be seen in his golden armor, gazing down at the being there with a smug look on his face.
Even if Damon dies, he has to win this fight!
...........
“Why are all hosts stubborn? It seems your friend made the same choice” The ancestral dragon of life and death sighed as if it truly regretted Damon’s decision.
“Now you know my choice, you have two choices. Hand over the sealed artifact and I leave, no one dies. Or! We can all leave civility behind and rip each other to shreds” Damon laughed casually but everyone could tell by the redness of his eyes and the black cracks all over his body, he was already prepared to battle them to the end.
Damon seemed unmoved as he gazed at the man in silver robes and dual shortsword. His eyes locked with that of the enemy while his body kept drifting back.
“Kill him!” the ancestral voice ordered without emotions and a cruel smile bloomed on Damon’s face.
Pa!
Damon threw his open palm forward, tearing through space and time as his death aura surged at that one point!
Hmph!
Damon ignored the silver robed man racing towards him with a deadly pale look on his face, filled with fear and anxiety!
Boom!
Damon struck again and his energy surged dangerously as the entire domain began trembling violently!
“KILL HIM FAST! HE PLANS TO DESTROY THE DOMAIN!” The ancestral dragon wasn’t as calm as before, even though he sensed the danger and needed to deal with it immediately!
“Killing move: One slash, two moons” Raizen bellowed as the blades in his hands lit up and he lashed out at once.
An invisible force shrouded in a strange, relaxing feeling raced forward. In the presence of this power, Damon felt completely at home and lost the urge to fight. His eyes gazed at this invisible wave twisting the space as it moved.
His eyes shifted back to Raizen and he noticed one blade was black while the other was white. His eyes dilated due to shock as he muttered something strange and withdrew his hands.
“Life and death are truly two sides of one coin. It’s shouldn’t exist separately since both sides require the other to exist” Damon said with a hint of astonishment in his tone.
It seemed like he understood something very important from the experience.
“Life creates and death destroys. My purpose has never been to create but to only destroy. Maintain the balance and become the balance! Become... God” Damon’s eyes squinted as he pressed his hands forward and immense power exploded from his body.
His death aura which just gathered at a spot began spinning like a whirlpool drenched in darkish green hell flames!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Damon’s body shivered badly as he spat out a mouthful of blood and was forced to retreat a few meters
He got pushed back!
No! This shouldn’t be happening!
Are my injuries that deep?
Damon snorted disdainfully as he pushed those thoughts aside and gathered his strength.
Devour!
Boom!
The world vibrated violently as the decaying aura spread far and wide like a plague threatening to shatter the world which seeks to suppress his master!
“I will be needing your power, old man” Damon was gazing at Raizen while he said these words but in his eyes, the image of the old dwarven king could be seen. Receiving the request of its master was enough reason for him to bow.
Grrrrrrr!
As soon as the image of the old dwarf vanished, lightning surged around Damon
