BXBX NOVEL Chapter 182
“My second brush with death and my disciples’ defeat happened at the same time. Damn it. A simple miscalculation on my path will cost me my life. I guess Blink was right. My addiction to doing this alone will be the death of me” Damon laughed while traversing the endless seas.
He could sense a strong power far from his location but he had no other choice but to get to it fast.
Bang!
It felt like the world trembled as a strange figure emerged from the distance, appearing a few meters above Damon.
“You cannot escape death mage. What you can do my masters can do it better” Raizen snorted disdainfully as he watched Damon’s pitiful figure in disgust.
The death mage who once ruled over the heavens and the world has finally been reduced to such a pitiful condition in a short amount of time.
Seeing such a sight sent shivers down the chest of Raizen. This simple scene was a reminder to it that no one is truly absolute, even the power of death can be killed if dealt with properly.
This entire plot and plan have been to weaken the hosts and even though they failed to succeed, the death of Damon Ross will be a major success for them regardless.
.....
“A host dares play around with the enemy. Do you think you will survive this after we are gone? Do you think the old gods will let the powerful Draconians live? Hahahaha! Delusional!” Damon laughed loudly but from the way his body trembled, he seemed to be at his last leg.
“Is this your attempt to beg for your life? Save it for who cares!” Raizen snorted disdainfully as the dual blades in his hand lit up.
Seeing this, Damon stood unmoving with a deep frown on his face. He has seen a lot of stupid people over the years but these dragons really take the cake.
He watched the crazy figure standing in the distance and a sad smile bloomed on his face. With his cultivation defect, he won’t be able to summon the accursed gate of the underworld, leaving him with nowhere to run.
Right now, he could only rely on himself to escape this situation.
FlapUnder the effects of the calm breeze, Damon’s robes fluttered while he remained calm and collected even in the face of an enemy capable of taking his life.
“I will be taking your life, Damon!” Raizen growled as lighting began surging around him, before whooping down like a kingfisher, diving down into a river in a bid to catch a fish.
This time the fish was Damon!
“You dare make a move against the death mage! Are you not afraid of death?” Damon growled furiously as his death aura began surging around him dangerously.
........
Peng!
Fei growled but he was still blown back by the mighty golden guardian weapon.
Swish!
Cyrus’ figure was like that of a spear racing towards the figure above.
Divine spear: Divine retribution!
As Cyrus charged forward he quickly let go of his spear and it began spinning like a drill. Cyrus then grabbed on the golden spear and began spinning alongside it, creating a mighty golden cyclone!
Kill!
Clank!
Fei looked terribly pale but in the face of such power he dared not retreat, instead, he sought to destroy. The weapon in his hands lit as immense blue flames surged forward and the moment he punched at the spear it felt like the world was going to shatter as the image of a fiery blue dragon filled the world, threatening to shatter the sky!
“HAHAHAHAHAHA! How long do you think you can keep this up? I can smell the stench of death over you, it’s only a matter of time!” Cyrus laughed loudly as he struggled fiercely with the blue dragon flame!
“Gaaah!” Cyrus cried out as he was overwhelmed by the dragon flames and dragged all the way down, smashing him into the ground.
Boom!
But even with Cyrus defeated in such an exchange Fei still wore a terrified look on his face as he gazed at the massive crater formed by his attack. It was as if he has seen this scene repeat itself over and over again, leaving him with zero to no chance of winning.
“Hehehe! Nice, that one hit the spot, unfortunately, it’s not enough” Cyrus’ figure casually stepped out of the crater with a cruel grin on his face. His severe injuries were magically washed away by his golden aura, making it look as if it never happened in the first place. All his injuries were gone instantly, making him look good as new.
“I have things to do, so I will make this quick. I know you have only one last strike left in you. Why don’t you use it already and die? Why struggle?” Cyrus laughed sinisterly.
“Hmph! I guess we can say the same about Damon Ross. He is on his last leg and is about to die. I believe your priorities are greatly misplaced, life mage!” The furious ancestral voice of the ancient fire dragon boomed causing everywhere to tremble violently.
Buzzz!
Hearing this Cyrus shivered in fright as he looked at the ball of lava which served as a screen for the images of Damon and Raizen battling at the endless sea.
Truly Damon was dying!
“Damon...” the smile on Cyrus’s face vanished as he watched the fight take place and frowned.
A door formed in front of him leading outside the location and the voice boomed again.
“Fei is my successor and my future. In exchange for his life, I will grant you a way through which you can go back to the death mage instantly. With that, we won’t owe ourselves any favors!”
Buzzz!
Cyrus frowned at the offer but didn’t hesitate to accept it. He already knew the nature of the dragon and they weren’t the type to lie, especially an ancestral dragon who has lived for millenniums.
“I will come back for your life later! ” Cyrus hissed at the figure above with eyes full of disdain and hate.
He quickly opened the door and jumped in without thinking twice leaving behind the half dead Fei with a scar buried deep in his heart.
.....
Swish!
Damon frowned deeply as the blade flew past him like an arc and his left hand could be seen flying in the air while blood squirted out everywhere but even then he didn’t make a sound. Instead, he remained silent with a stern look on his face while staggering back.
Bang!
A grey aura overwhelmed him and the image of the dwarf king appeared behind him while lightning began surging around his body but soon enough the lightning vanished and Damon knelt on the ocean surface, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
“Damn it, my body has truly reached its limit” Damon muttered with a deep frown while he staggered back.
Swish!
He wasn’t given enough time to think of things as the blade flew at him again causing him to dive to the left but unfortunately his right hand was caught in the attack, causing him to lose both hands in just a few seconds.
Thud!
Damon landed on his knees and his body looked dejected and messed up. He could see the figure of the enemy slowly approaching but that wasn’t enough to get any reaction from him. Instead, his eyes were on the ghastly figure invisible to the eyes of cultivators like Raizen but Damon could see it clearly. It already had its death scythe raised, waiting for the enemy to land the last blow before it rips Damon’s life.
“Are you seriously going to kill me as well? You are meant to be on my side!” Damon laughed like a crazy man as he spoke to the spirit of death.
Anyone watching him do this would assume he had gone crazy. Even Raizen paused briefly before walking up to Damon with a triumphant smile on his face.
“Do you have any last words you wish to send to your friends before your death?” Raizen asked with a cruel smile as he gazed at the defeated Damon with great satisfaction and excitement in his eyes.
As long as he ends up becoming the person who killed Damon, who is arguably the most dangerous death mage in the last millennium. Someone who the entire continent gathered but still couldn’t kill. Regardless of Damon’s condition and circumstances, Raizen didn’t care. All that mattered right now is that he is the one who killed the death mage!
