"I am NOT asking!" Damon's highly cold voice, filled with a strong, domineering tone echoed across the surrounding area. The gentle breeze in the surrounding area suddenly kicked up its speed, and grew fiercer and fiercer, a staunch tension filling the entire environment.
Feyola's breath hitched and a terrifying fear filled her body, making her freeze in her place, her heart beating so hard and fast, Feyola herself could hear it. Feyola could feel her entire world spinning.
Feyola, Elanore and Klaus all felt the tyrannical aura of death and shadows covering the entire surrounding area, feeling it surrounding their body. All of them had recognized this tyrannical death aura as the one that erupted across the entire world not too long ago, and sent shivers down all of their spines.
"Master, be careful around this person. I've never seen or heard about such a terrifying power before even in my lengthy life. Now that we're closer to him, the ancient power I feel in this boy even surpasses the power of the strongest Ancient Gods." A soothing, soft voice echoed from Klaus' soul and into his mind, sending him a warning.
Klaus frowned at the warning and looked at Damon. As the time had passed, Klaus had used a potion and healed himself, returning to full power, he looked at Damon closely, with a fierce look in his eyes, recognizing who Damon was. Klaus' family had certainly told him about Damon and his immense talent.
Similarly, Damon was also staring directly at Klaus, but not for the same reason Klaus was starting at him. Currently, Damon was looking at the System screen that had abruptly appeared in front of him.
[ Host! The boy in front of you is a Son of Fate. ].
Damon read this and then curiously inquired in his mind, " Care to explain what a Son of Fate is?"
[ Fate is a mysterious and mystical elemental that has a variety of powers, such as increasing luck and destiny.Fate Blessed are beings born with an abnormally high amount of fate. Fate Blessed usually come from affluent families as their parents have higher chances of birthing incredibly talented people. Fate Blessed persons have increased luck in finding treasures, battle and surviving precarious situations. For example, Antares and Feyola all have high fate. Son's of Fate are beings who not only have abnormally high fate, but their fate is also artificially increased by the World's Will. Basically, Sons of Fate are the Worlds Will's Apostles. For example, your father was a Son of Fate. Sons of Fate aren't evil, delusional or stupid protagonist like persons like in Villain novels in your previous world's Villain Novels, they are just persons blessed to be luckier, more talented and more survivable among other things.]
Damon read through the entire system's explanation, and sunk into thought. From the many novels he had read in his past life, Damon could recognize and understand many of the concepts the system explained, yet there was still many burning questions he had.
"So, if I try to kill this guy, will the World's Will punish me for killing their Apostle?" Damon asked the system in his mind.
[ No Host. Host remember, you are a Primordial Chaos Grade Talent, even higher than Klaus. Although the World's Will cannot tell the exact level of your talent, it 100% knows your talent is leagues higher than Klaus', so the World's Will will not punish you for killing or injuring Klaus at all as your existence in this world is much more important and helpful than Klaus'. Also, aside from influencing persons passively through things like dreams, the World's Will probably cannot influence the world at this point due to the amount of power it used increasing Klaus' fate, so it couldn't kill you even if you weren't so talented and beneficial to itself. However, as a Son of Fate, I recommend the host not kill Klaus, as he would be helpful in the battle of the Abyss. ]
Damon read this message and understood the deeper meaning immediately, " So you're saying, I can do anything to him but kill him...." Damon said, a cruel smirk flashing across his face.
[ Yes, host himself is not a Son of Fate. Due to Aphelios ( The Supreme God who reincarnated Damon ), host is an Anomaly. Anomalies are incredibly rare persons who are unbound by fate. External influences cannot effect them in any way and they forge their own path exemt from the influences of Fate, Destiny and other effects similar. For example, the Host's mother, Sapphire, is an Anomaly. ]
Damon read that and removed the system, thinking about his mother. She truly was incredibly special, without any system or Supreme God to help her, she was an Anomaly and forged her own path through fire and blood to become the powerhouse she is today. Damon truly felt even more pressure to live up to her reputation after learning this.
After those thoughts flashed across his mind, Damon focused his gaze,locking it onto Klaus as he thought about his future actions.
"As long as I don't kill you, it's fine." Damon said to himself in his head, his eyes growing fiercly competitive. Ever since Damon had awakened, he had heard about Klaus Pendragon, the Crown Prince of the Eternal Human Empire and one of the most talented people in the world. Damon definitely wanted to crush this opponent in front of him.
Klaus stepped forward as he felt immense fear underneath Damon's aura, but powered on due to his pride and confidence as a Pendragon.
"I am Klaus Pendragon, thank you for killing that dangerous Dark Abyssal Dragon, but I cannot give her to you without asking her first." Klaus said.
"What she says is irrelevant. I'll take her by force if need be, get out of my way irrelevant human." Damon said, his aggressive and condescending tone focused towards Klaus.
Klaus frowned, looking at the Damon denying his offer. He had never been so rudely spoken to and denied. Klaus had heard rumours about Damon, and he himself wanted to battle the Demon.
"Lets see how strong you are Human!" Damon said, his eyes glowing blood red as BloodReaper appeared in his hands in shape of a sythe covered in dripping monster blood.
"Crimson Agony!" Damon roared, and a tyrannical crimson red inferno that looked as if it spawned directly from hell wrapped around BloodReaper and then crashed across the entire battlefield. The tyrannical crimson inferno covered the sky and enwrapped the ground. The terrifying aura suppressed Klaus greatly, restricting his power and movement. The atmosphere itself began to shift.
Half of the surroudning area began to be shrouded in eternal purple that glowed ominously while the other half being was shrouded in brilliant holy light, as if purifying the world. Tens of thousands of dark and light lightning bolts could also be seen violently roiling and crackling and crashing down towards Klaus, who leapt and dodged consistently, on the defensive for the entire battle.
"Light Cataclysm!" Klaus screammed, his hand moving and a massive trident of pure holy light appeared in the sky, descending down towards Damon. Simultaneously, dozens of holy light chains erupted from the ground, flashing towards Damon to capture and restrict him.
"Spacial Devour!" Damon said, a ferocious maw made of pure spacial energy appeared and began devouring all of the holy light chains flashing towards Damon, completely vaporizing them.
"LIGHT ARMOUR!" Klaus roared, and a massive photon of blinding light surrounded him and formed into a powerful golden armour that wrapped around his body, increasing his power.
Damon wasn't fazed however, and dashed towards Klaus with a ferocious glimmer in his eyes, his sythe coated in crimson inferno and he slashed. Damon slashed at Klaus' head, and the young human barely dodged, but his light armour didn't. The headgeard of Klaus' light armour as slashed off ferociously.
Damon wasn't finished, continuing to ferociously and systematically attack Klaus' weakpoints, exposing every weakness in Klaus' combat ability and overpowering him.
Klaus could not believe the current situation of the battle. He was actually getting completely dominated by Damon and couldn't even fight back, he was completely on the defensive at every point in the battle.
Klaus was a very talented guy, and he had everything one could want in life. He was the Crown Prince of an immensely powerful Empire and every potential resource was being pumped into him to make him as powerful as possible. He had the strongest teachers and had the best environments to train his combat while having Shadow Guards to protect him if anything went wrong. He had broken through realms like drinking water compared to others.
His ability to control his elements was simply unparalleled. Klaus had battled beings from various Empires and battled some of the most talented Younger Generational members in the world, and he had easily defeated them all, in his mind, he was the strongest.
But for the first time in Klaus' life, he was being defeated. No, he was being completely annihilated in this battle. He was so talented, so much resources, so much training, yet nothing mattered in front of Damon.
He was warned, warned by his most loyal ally, multiple times, but he didn't listen and battled more, and now Klaus regretted it, as the floor was getting wiped with his body, and he was powerless to resist.
With every slash of Damon's terrifying sythe, Klaus was injured, more and more blood leaking from his body, he was getting weaker and weaker, losing harder and harder.
Klaus tried to counterattack, but Damon had perfectly and effortlessly dodged every single attempt Klaus had made and fought even harder.The slightest mistake would have Damon being hit and losing his combat potential, yet Damon made no mistakes, as if he had absolute confidence.
"ARGG-DAMN!" Cursed Klaus, Damon's sythe clashing across his abdomen and creating a massive wound that gushed an immense amount of blood, forcing Klaus to kneel in pain, blood flowing like water.
"Is this really the limit of your power?" Damon asked, his voice condescending and arrogant as he looked down on Klaus. Damon had heard so many things about Klaus, yet he was so disappointed in Klaus' power. Compared to himself, Klaus was weak, terminally weak.
Klaus looked at Damon who moved towards him. The intense pressure releasing from Damon's body making him shiver as he effortlessly defeated him. Was he going to fail? Would he lose? Would he be killed?
Klaus felt terrified, frozen in shock, he couldn't believe it, Klaus roared in despair and anguish, wanting to battle harder and win as he unleashed a final attack.
"GRAHH HOW DARE YOU!" Klaus roared and attacked, a pure beam of supreme holy light crashing towards Damon at high speeds.
Damon chuckled at Klaus' attack and fired back.
"Ξίφος της Αιωνιότητας."Damon said and he slashed BloodReaper. A rain of jet black demon thunder slashed across the entire battlefield, annihilating any and everything in its path, including Klaus' attack.
Klaus saw his attack being defeated, and sighed in defeat, falling to the floor and losing his consciousness as he completely collapsed.
As Klaus collapsed, he heard one final phrase from Damon before he passed out.
"Weak.....and Pathetic!"
