Paragon of Death

Chapter 24: Chapter 23: Demon twins

The entire class went cold as they watched the lifeless corpse in front of them. The eyes of the victim were wide open in disbelief as if he never expected things to turn out this way.

Who would have thought the lanky kid would be stronger than Damon Ross?

Speaking of Damon Ross!

“Stop!” A student stood in Damon’s way the moment he saw Damon trying to leave while people are distracted.

He was a silver hair kid with fierce-looking eyes. Without speaking his eyes were already up in power as a mild wind surged around him.

“I was born with an anomaly just like most members of the other chosen. I was born with only one element but my affinity to the element is quite strong but just slightly below the mark to make me a chosen! Today I will reclaim my crown!” The body said with a fierce look on his face.

Damon gazed at the kid’s face and frowned. His eyes seemed filled with annoyance as he leaned forward slightly before responding.

.....

“Are you dumb? Are you really eager to die like this kid?” Damon was confused.

Why would they even bother to challenge him? He has the basic benefits of a fighter which gives them an edge over mages at the beginning stages of life, so why would they even bother him?

“We won’t know until we find out!” The kid growled as his slicer hair fluttered fiercely and two rings of wind began surging around him.

Seeing this Damon frowned. Gazing at this kid all he could think of is him using the shadow magic so proficiently!

Xiu!

Instantly the two rings of wind shot forward, racing towards Damon!

Without hesitation, Damon’s body lit up with power as he reinforced his skin with mana and quickly darted off the stairs, into the crowd of students where the enemy can’t aim!

Shameless!

Many students complained as they moved in an attempt to expose, Damon’s location but he was faster than them and followed them like a pest!

“This...” the Silver-haired kid frowned as his body drifted backward as if he was being carried by the wind.

Crack!

A slight sound reached the kid’s air and he suddenly noticed his shadow is quite thicker than before. Just like others, after seeing Damon use such an ability, they have all gone through serious efforts to research and find a way to counter it!

Pa! ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

His toes tapped the ground, creating a surprisingly loud sound as he fluttered into the air like a bird. Black spikes emerged from his shadow, racing towards him but after stretching for close to ten meters they stopped moving and returned to the shadow!

“Your petty trick won’t work on me!’ The Silver-haired kid said proudly!

“And who said that was meant to harm you?” Damon said as he merged from the crowd, seemingly running on the wind.

While his movements were nowhere as graceful as that of a silver-haired kid, Damon was still incredibly fast and reached the enemy in seconds with a fiery fire fist!

Boom!

Without hesitation, Damon punched forward, putting as much strength as he could in that punch. The Kid quickly screamed as a fierce sphere of wind surrounded him but the much tore through his barrier and flew into his chest, making it cave in!

Bang!

The kid flew down the stairs, slamming into the podium meant for professors but of course, professor Emma moved to the side casually to evade the body

The boy spat out a mouthful of blood and tried to move but his body wouldn’t respond. He felt like his chest was on fire, making it harder to breathe.

Even the professor frowned at this. Damon’s innate physical strength seemed to be high even amongst fighters. If it were any other person she may get suspicious but since Damon is from a family of fighters, she could only conclude that he was blessed by such a body. There are fighters like him who have unique traits that let them stand out amongst their peers.

Thud!

Damon landed right in front of the kid with a flaming fist.

“Please don’t kill me... please!” the silver-haired kid cried out.

“Thinking about it, I guess I have no reason to kill you. I don’t even consider you a bad guy” Damon said as the fierce fire on his fist vanished, only then did the boy exhale in relief.

“Unfortunately I need people to fear me... fear will make them reluctant to bother me and improve my chances of survival in this Academy.” Damon said coldly as a bright red magic circle formed beneath his leg while his fingertips flicked strangely.

He swung his seemingly empty hands down and the next moment the Silver-haired kid was sliced into five equal parts by the flaming strings. His blood oozed out, filling the podium and overflowing.

“Your sacrifice is not in vain” Damon said coldly as he gazed at the corpse!

All the students present felt a cold breeze blowing them. They were no longer enthusiastic about fighting Damon and the pale kid. Even professor Emma was horrified by this level of viciousness.

The pale kid who was meant to leave had been standing all this while, watching the fight. He felt amused and revealed a slight smile before leaving.

Meanwhile, the news of the two chosen killing two students spread. They quickly named them Demon twins since they are the first to draw blood with both killing pleading students in very brutal manners.

This caused outrage but since the school prohibits more than one person from challenging people all at once, no one was willing to attack them alone.

So in the meantime, their lives were peaceful.

“Gin Stoneham... Cyrus light, Damon Ross, Klein... That blood kid is not even a noble? But wait, why are we lacking a warden? Even our enchanter is a fighter type” Damon said with a frown when he returned to his place and saw the list mailed to his room.

He couldn’t help but feel something wrong with the list.
