Paragon of Death

289 Chapter 288: Inner Circles of Sicia Empire

The sky cleared and the massive eye in the heavens vanished. The crowd exploded with cheers upon seeing the two invaders had fled. Flowers, money, and every valuable item people would find on them were thrown into the arena to show their support for the one deity.

Rose stood over Cecile with a calm look on her face but a sharp and piercing gaze.

“You will be coming with me,” She said.

......…..

Wam!

Cecile sat up with a face covered in sweat. His breathing was heavy and his body weak. The explosive strength Damon showcased with his body was far beyond what his mortal body could handle. He had aching joints and muscle spasms.

He was brought back to the southern province and into the Garette family villa, located at the center of the Southern province.

Upon awakening, he noticed a pale-looking, slim lady in the attire of a maid seated quietly at his doorpost.

She observed him critically and patiently as if searching for something abnormal.

.....

“Is there something wrong?” Cecile asked with a raised eyebrow but the woman gave him a look of contempt before pulling out a neatly folded black uniform.

“Clean yourself, wear this, and come out. My lady and the other lords wish to see you… don’t keep them waiting” the maid said with an indifferent look before throwing her face away and leaving the room.

“Go on, I would like to see them too…” A dull tone rang in his mind, leaving him stunned.

It was Damon’s voice but much different from usual. With no other choice, Cecile began preparing and when he was done, he inspected the attire given to him and was stunned.

It was trainee attire, purple and with red stripes by the side. It was like a tracksuit but far comfier because of the magical properties attached to the attire.

Stepping out of the room, Cecile was greeted by a long empty corridor with only one figure standing to meet him.

“Rose…” Damon slowly opened his eyes within the dark world and gazed at this woman through the eyes of his host.

It was calm, perfectly calm.

If one was aware of Damon’s personality. During his scheming periods does he fall silent? He has determined the enemy is not one he can overpower in his current condition so he could only consider outsmarting them as the only option.

“It fits in just nicely…. I’m sure the other lords would be more than happy to see their new comrades” Rose said with a polite smile before walking in another direction and Cecile followed.

“You mean other recruits?” Cecile asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Heh? If I wanted you to meet mere knights of light and Apostles, do you think I would have dragged you into my home?” Rose asked with a raised eyebrow, causing Cecile to frown.

“Relax, normal recruits of the holy church end up becoming knights, and paladins at best. They are simply beings capable of receiving the blessings of the Beyond in this mana-less world. But you, not only do you have that, you possess the strength of the final and one of the most powerful forces of the God’s vein. The dragon race inheritance” Damon’s eyes shone with killing lights.

With the rebirths of the new hosts, the Beyond and the old gods have been led to believe that the world has restarted. The former new gods are gone and the threat of Damon only ends with Blink that’s why they failed to acknowledge the possibility of Damon taking the spot of the dragon race inheritance owner and becoming a member of their innermost circle.

“What I’m saying is that you are not just any person anymore, Cecile Allen, you are now one of the big boys” Rose winked at him and pushed the massive doors open, revealing a room full of mighty figures, and on the throne above was a lady.

“Found you” Damon sneered as his eyes flashed with cruelty but his body remained calm.

In here were the old gods, cosmic spirits, and news gods, and above was the Beyond, each standing side by side as allies.

“A human with the dragon inheritance… I thought it died off after the Draconian race and the other races began to vanish. They couldn’t exist in a world without mana, leaving behind the only race that could adapt to these drastic changes…. Humans” A calm feminine voice rang from above and Cecile was stunned.

He was confused since he didn’t think there would be a woman who would dare seat on the throne of the Garret family. In fact, he knew nothing about the people here. Only Damon knew their true identities but chose not to reveal them to Cecile.

For them to believe he is the real thing, he is meant to be oblivious to every other supernatural being in the world.

In the past, there were actually guardian spirits but now all of them are dead. Everyone was on his own and could only find out more as they went.

“Bow to your Emperor and the One true God of the One religion. Master Beyond” Rose introduced and bowed deeply and respectfully.

The others in the room quickly bowed and Cecile frantically followed in their footsteps. He never expected the emperor of the great Sicia Empire would be a woman and the same woman was the God they have been praying to all this while.

“You will be trained on how to use your powers properly and educated on what you need to know about the things of this world, your duty, and your role in building our dream world…. Once your training is over you will be given a territory, the rank of captain in the military but with the benefits of a general. You will have to rise the military ladder with your achievements…. Remember I have high expectations of you” The Beyond said with a cruel look on her face.

Faced with such a might figure, Cecile had no other choice but to keep his heads lowered and pray for the meeting to end.
