Paragon of Death

286 Chapter 285: A tough decision

As soon as Cecile arrived he began climbing a structure at the center of the arena which looked like stairs leading to what could be considered an altar at the very top.

As Cecile climbed the stairs his eyes chilled as he saw a strange figure at the top and not a bishop or a priest as he was expecting.

Garrett family leader!

Matriarch Rose!

Upon seeing the figure, Cecile fell on both knees and bowed respectfully. Everyone watching instantly lowered their heads in fear as well. It is not every day the regional head appears. Especially in a ceremony like this just to bless an aspiring knight of light.

Seeing Cecile’s natural reaction to her, Rose’s suspicion dropped drastically. That was the natural reaction of all her subordinates which cannot be faked. Seeing the way he acted he was sure the kid was legit now but it wouldn’t hurt to peer into his eyes and be sure.

By the way, the person they are going against at the forces of death. It wouldn’t be excessive to try to make sure nothing is overlooked.

“Rise, young Allen and receive the blessing I bestow on you”

While saying this Rose walked towards him with strange glowing red eyes.

.....

Meanwhile, Cecile who was on his knees had his head lowered, hiding the fiery darkish green flames surging in his eyes.

Rose may not have seen it but he could feel hostility from Damon. He too was stunned by Rose’s appearance here and what could be seen as an illusionary figure of him stood ahead of Cecile.

“Rose!” The illusionary figure of Damon growled with fierce eyes but thankfully only Cecile could see and feel him.

Meanwhile, those watching were unaware of the atmosphere down there. They all felt honored that the regional head came to bless Cecile personally. Robert Allen and the rest of the Allen family had their chests puffed up with pride unaware of the danger their son was in.

Pa!

Rose gently placed her hand on the shoulder of the kneeling child with killer eyes as she repeated that word again.

“Rise…” Rose said coldly.

“I dare not, my lady!” A cold voice rang from Cecile but strangely the voice was deeper than usual.

Hearing this Rose’s eyes chilled but before she could respond or react, the world began trembling!

Buzzzz!

The world began trembling violently as the space above began tearing violently leaving everyone stunned.

Seeing this Rose looked up with cold eyes, peering into the sky and completely forgetting about the kid below.

Cecile also looked up with a stunned look in his eyes but his eyes were back to their normal purple color.

“What is this?” Cecile couldn’t help but gasp in shock catching Rose’s attention.

She shot him a casual glance and saw the surprised look on the kid’s face. So far he was normal as he should be, he may really be blessed by the world.

“Get back child, the demons have made their move! I just didn’t think they will be daring enough to make a move with the Garret family head here” Rose bellowed furiously but her words were met with wild laughter.

“When my master was alive you wouldn’t dare mutter those words but now you spill them out whenever you get the chance…. Rose…” A cold but familiar voice rang in the air, causing Damon who was seated silently in the darkness of Cecile’s mind to yank his eye open in shock and look in the direction of the sky.

Buzz!

Damon’s soul trembled violently as he saw a youthful silver-haired figure standing in the skies in familiar black but worn-out robes. Beside him was a young man who was slightly older with extremely long silver and red hair fluttering madly in the wind.

Blink!

Armanthos!

Rose trembled in fear as she took a step back. So far there have been speculations that one of the two may still be alive and is the one coordinating the attacks on the empire. Never did they expect the two would still be alive after a thousand years and no one prayed Blink would live.

If there was someone who spooked them almost as much as Damon, it is his successor bearing the power of all the hosts. He was practically a weaker version of Damon but still a version of Damon!

That was enough to scare the shit out of them.

“Do you dare battle me here with all these civilians? Let’s take this somewhere else!” Rose said with a stern look but she didn’t seem to be backing away.

Is it the dignity of a God or that of a ruler?

“Hmph! All I see are nobles who collide with the old gods and worshipers of a false God!” Blink’s eyes shone with cruelty as the gem on his chest let out a red glow and immense flames exploded from his body, descending on the entire area, in an attempt to destroy it all at once.

He planned to kill everyone here and now, wiping out all the important people in the southern province!

This was the only reason they decided to show themselves!

“No!” Cecile gasped as he looked at a certain part of the crowd where his family members were!

“Damon!” Cecile gasped in his mind and in reality, his purple eyes let out a bright green glow!

Buzzz!

Suddenly Cecile shot past the regional head and quickly reached a guard and pulled out his sword.

Boom!

The ground beneath his feet shattered as his body shot into the air with the blade in his hands.

Roar!

Cecile began spinning in a circular motion and fierce wind surged around taking the form of a dragon!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Shockwaves erupted across the heavens as Blink, Armanthos, and Rose widened their eyes in shock.

Dragon inheritance?

Has the world finally produced someone to replace the ancestral dragons?

“He is on the side of the old gods?” Armanthos muttered with a frown.

“No… the kid is too young to have taken a side. Take him, I will kill Rose!” Blink said coldly.

He couldn’t let the Beyond gain another important ally in this war!
