Hero of Darkness Chapter 123: The Better Swordsman

Chapter 123: The Better Swordsman

Kahn stood while maintaining a distance of 15 meters from the swordsman. His eyes were also vigilant of the elf in case he tried to sneak attack him.

"You think I'm going to tell you?" he spoke sarcastically.

Crang!

Arkham wasn't surprised or fazed by this sudden revelation. His eyes and mind completely focused on Kahn. Unlike the elven mage, Arkham had gone through hundreds of battles and always expected the enemy to have a few trump cards in their sleeves.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Arkham ran swiftly and in just 4 seconds, he appeared in front of the defender.

Screech!

Their swords faced each other and multiple sparks came out of them. The sound of two hard and sharp screeching metallic swords clas.h.i.+ng against each other filled the area.

Kahn who was already very weak compared to Arkham at this point was thrown back eight meters away.

He landed on his feet and quickly activated Darkness Barrier.

A dark and dense defensive barrier was cast around him and just in a second, he was completely covered and protected by this barrier for 10 meters radius.

"What's this?! How is he using a mage's spell?!" shouted Arkham and looked towards Solomon.

"Impossible... He isn't even using an artifact." spoke Solomon and looked at Kahn as if he had seen an anomaly of the nature.

"Doesn't matter. He's still gonna die!" spoke Arkham and attacked the darkness barrier.

Dhang!!

A loud noise of two powerful things colliding resounded in the area. Surprisingly, Kahn's darkness barrier which was made of 3 times his defense stats withstood the water aura blades that came from Arkham's sword.

For a moment, Kahn finally felt some relief. Now he could at least protect himself for a while.

He was certain that both the men already made preparations in case he tried to run. So he wasn't a fool to think that he could just easily escape from the clutches of these old-timers, one of whom was also the 2nd most strongest person in the entire city.

But before he could even revel for few seconds, a bright white light beam pierced through the darkness barrier and it was instantly shattered.

Kahn looked in this direction where the attack came from. It was Solomon who attacked with a light elemental mage spell.

[Dammit! I forgot dark magic is only weak against light and holy magic. With my current strength, it can't be any more useless in front of that elven b.a.s.t.a.r.d.] he cursed in his mind.

With this elven mage's interference, his only advantage was gone. He couldn't even use Berserk G.o.d Mode this early because both these men were seasoned fighters. He won't be able to take them out just with a sudden buff in strength. He had to be very careful.

For the next 5 minutes, Kahn kept running away and throwing Darkblade skills from time to time and maintained a distance.

To Arkham, it was like chasing after a mouse. And because his mana was limited, Kahn couldn't even use the Domain Artifact to separate the man in a different battleground.

"Stopping running away like a coward!" shouted Arkham.

"Why don't you terminate this suppression formation and fight me then." ranted Kahn.

"I guess I have no choice." said Arkham and all of his aura started forming a big cloud above his head.

"Let me tell you a difference between a normal swordsman and a magic Swordsman, kid. A normal sword user even at peak grandmaster rank can only use aura blades and physical attacks.. But a magic swordsman can also infuse his mana and an element they have the highest affinity with. This combined attack is far more powerful than anything you can do." spoke Arkham and the blue cloud turned into water and 10 water blades identical to his previous attacks formed in the air.

Arkham then held his greatsword in both of his hands and lifted it towards the sky.

[s.h.i.+t! My darkness barrier can barely stand one blade.. There are 10 now!] thought Kahn.

Arkham swung his sword downwards and launched all the high-pressure compressed water blades at Kahn.

The young man quickly activated the darkness barrier again.

BOOM!

BOOM!

THUD!

CLANG!

SCREECH!

Multiple sounds of a barrier and sword attacks clas.h.i.+ng echoed in the surrounding before the noise finally stopped. A white fog appeared after the collision and filled the entire battlefield.

The land where Kahn was standing was obliterated into nothingness and dozens of long crevices had shattered the ground.

Finally when the fog started dispersing from the surrounding.. A brightly burning red figure was revealed.

ROAR!!

A roar of a primordial beast filled the region where the fight was going. The blistering red flames that came out of this figure burst loudly and a man clad in black red armor and a helmet with two burning horns that appeared like a descendant of dragons came to be.

The intense and terrifying heat coming from this figure had partially negated the damage received from the water aura blades that was a combination of 3 destructive forces.

Drakos Armor!

Kahn had called out and equipped the Drakos Armor as soon as the darkness barrier broke and activated the bloodline effect at maximum capacity.

"What the.. Is he a monster?" asked Arkham in surprise.

Both the old men were taken aback by his new appearance that came to be from nowhere.

Kahn's new appearance looked like a demonic beast. His armor being on fire at various places gave him a horrifying look.

The next second, 12 pitch-black swords appeared above his body. All of them were identical to Lucifer in size and appearance.

Every single one of these swords was made up of Darkness element and a black aura was released from them as they floated in the air above him.

It was Kahn using his Sword King skill for the first time!

A ghastly and terrifying voice came from the Kahn dressed in his beastly Drakos Armor... Making it sound more like a Dragon speaking in a human voice.

The words echoed in the entire battlefield and filled the surrounding with a chaotic and dangerous aura.

"Now then. Allow me to show you who's a better Swordsman."
