Paragon of Death

288 Chapter 287: Withdraw

Everything happened in barely a second and everyone was returned to the real world. Rose was yet to make a move since the duo was yet to make moves too.

Ding!

Dong!

Ding!

Dong!

Suddenly loud bells of heaven began ringing as a lone figure walked towards the trio with a chaplet in his hands. The bald cardinal casually approached with a gentle smile while gazing at the two invaders.

“For all has sinned and has fallen short of the glory of the Lord but the Lord is just and merciful enough to forgive if only they ask. Amen…” the cardinal said with a cruel look as the chaplet in his hands lit up with power, dazzling like a thousand stars shining brightly.

Damon frowned as he felt a strange feeling befall the entire arena and for a moment it seemed as if time paused but this time it wasn’t for everyone. Right now only he, Rose, Armanthos, Blink, and the cardinal of the southern province could move.

The bright light faded and then came the darkness. The clouds vanished as the darkness was suppressed by the illuminating stars of the heavens. A massive single red eye opened as if it was tearing a hole in space, looking down on the world with cruelty in its eye.

.....

“You…” Blink and Armanthos who were indifferent a moment ago couldn’t help but frown.

If Damon can seclude people from reality, what stops the Beyond from doing the same? By the way, she is the being that killed the undefeated death mage that terrorized the world.

“You have some balls showing your face here!” Damon bellowed within the mind of Cecile as his eyes revealed a fierce red glow, sending shivers down Cecile’s spine.

He has never seen Damon so furious even during the appearance of Rose.

“That thing is the one God?’ Cecile was terrified but Damon remained unmoved by the enemy’s appearance instead intense fighting spirit surged from his body.

Unfortunately, Damon didn’t even bother replying. Just like Armanthos and Blink, he was gazing at the sky as if he had seen his mortal foes.

“I was wondering when you will reveal yourself,” the Beyond said coldly but his eyes were pinned on Blink who revealed a cruel smile on his face while his robes fluttered madly.

“Now you have seen me, you still cannot harm me. There is a limit to what a deity can do in the mortal realm, and should I ever have a reason to step into the realm of Gods, you won’t survive the encounter!” Blink snorted disdainfully.

“Hahahahaha! As cocky as your master? Where is he now?” The Beyond joked madly and within the darkness of his mind, Cecile couldn’t help but shoot Damon a curious glance only to see him seething with anger and fury.

“Says the one who lives in constant fear of the reincarnation of my master. Is that why you all have decided to keep the new hosts hidden and alive? Or do you think I will fail to notice the rebirth of the new gods?” Blink said coldly.

Buzz!

This time Damon was the one to be shocked. He looked up with an astonished look as if he had seen a ghost. This was the first time Cecile was witnessing fear in the eyes of the death god.

What could make a mighty being like Damon so terrified?

“New hosts?” Damon’s mind raced.

While Blink has been with him for a while he was never a host so he doesn’t know how these things work. Right now he was forced to believe that replacements are only made when the world or universe deems the current hosts unfit. This was another way of saying the world has acknowledged his failure and deemed him unworthy to be the God of death so it is making replacements!

“Cocky!” Damon’s eyes flashed with cruelty.

Regardless of who his foe is, he won’t hesitate to consume them completely. If the world wants to replace him after just one failure, he wouldn’t hesitate to swallow this world hole!

“Kill!” Damon’s eyes flashed with cruelty and his thoughts and anger were transmitted to his subordinates! f𝘳𝐞𝒆wｅ𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟e𝑙. c𝘰𝓂

Yes, your majesty!

“Enough talk!” Blink’s eyes blazed with power as fire and wind surged around him expanding rapidly in an attempt to consume everything!

Seeing this Rose leaped forward and struck the heavens with her open palm!

Buzzz!

Grabbing the empty air, she tore open space in the void and from it, she pulled out a mighty red spear!

Divinity spear: Spear of retribution!

Shatter!

Red typhoon!

Buzzz!

She let go of the spear but it kept spinning rapidly gathering power and strength as it moved and soon a red hurricane surged into the air, clashing madly with the fiery tornado!

Hmph!

Armanthos snorted disdainfully as he began walking towards the southern province cardinal with cold eyes. His hair grew longer and Wilder as he gained claws and became slightly bigger.

In this world, he was only a werewolf without special techniques. But after living for over a thousand years, he has become the strongest supernatural being in this world.

He wasn’t someone that could be toyed with in the past life and this life as well.

Within the darkness of Cecile’s mind, Damon nodded in approval. While the world now limited the powers of all beings, compared to the days of cultivators.

Thinking about their situation now, the world has been put in such a condition where no one man can win wars now. The Beyond has really set up a foothold here and Damon knows it will be difficult for Blink and Armanthos to win this war.

“Withdraw…. Don’t waste precious mana here…. There are bigger battles to be won” Damon finally ordered with a sigh.

In this small gathering of important figures, he truly felt like he had lost against the Beyond.

It has taken everything he built and turned it into a fortress which Damon wasn’t even sure he could put a dent in it. The only way to win this war is from within…
