Hero of Darkness Chapter 192: More Than What You Bargained For

Chapter 192: More Than What You Bargained For

In the following week.. A sudden big announcement shook the entire Rakos Empire. Let it be a small city or a big and fully developed civilization in terms of technology or living standards of citizens.

Many bustling streets and markets had this news announced via loudspeakers and projection artifacts that this evening, will be a grand execution ceremony in the Pureblood Faction.

And it will be publicly broadcasted throughout the empire using a grid of broadcasting networks and artifacts from city to city.

And the ones to be executed were not some enemies but the traitors within the faction.

As soon as this news was spread all over the empire, it shook the native citizens and even the powers belonging to the opposition faction such as the Demi-Human faction & Neutral faction.

The Pureblood Faction consisted of 300+ clans. Each one of them was strong enough to easily rule over their respective cities and even the strongest clans from Flavot city could not even come close to being mentioned in the same sentence.

And suddenly, all of them decided to hold off an execution ceremony for some reason.

The normal citizens of the empire that varied from different species, races and life standards only knew of such big clans and names. But their lives didn't revolve around the inside happenings of these superpowers.

Any ruler was acceptable as long as no harm came to their normal lives and their rights were protected. So people had only superficial information about these factions.

Just like Kahn when he lived inside Flavot city, the majority didn't even know or care about who were the leaders of these factions. Only the people who played the game of power struggle in their sleep and wanted to hold power had the most information and interests in these factions as they too belonged to a particular side.

And suddenly, these factions openly brought these matters to the public. And this wasn't about just one clan, but all of them.

When Kahn heard this news, he too was taken aback. He quickly took out the jade medallion contacted Szayel.

"What the h.e.l.l happened? Did I miss something.. Why is there suddenly such a big commotion? " asked Kahn to the vampire heir.

"Oh.. I thought you knew. Let me explain.." said Szayel and took a deep breath audible through the transmission artifact.

"Do you know that the day I was attacked.. The same happened to the majority of the clans in our faction? Over hundred and thirty clan heirs, having the qualifications and promise to become their clan's next leaders were killed in the same week as me getting attacked.

Some died in their homes while others died at the hands of said enemies belonging to opposite factions. In many cases, the heirs went missing and were presumed dead.

I wasn't the only one but the whole faction's future generation was targeted. And after you helped us track one of the traitors. We finally had a thread to track the main culprits.

In the past week, using Kereberos who was one of the people in command, we've successfully caught thousands of people in our clan and through them, we caught and imprisoned more than 20 thousand traitors who made deals with the enemy just because they were either discontent with the rulers of the clans or wanted s.h.i.+ft in power.

Not only did we find their nest.. But we found everyone who was connected and shared their motives in all the respective clans.

What's happening now is nothing but a grand purge." said Szayel merrily.

After telling Kahn about the inner happenings and how the whole faction was been cleansed of the worms.. Szayel also revealed how their forces caught the people and killers involved from the Demi-Human faction & hired professionals. That there was a war happening in the shadows over the past week and thousands of people were killed.

But instead of feeling safe and secure.. Kahn was p.i.s.sed off.

"f.u.c.k, f.u.c.k, f.u.c.k!! I'm so screwed!! Now everyone is gonna come after me one way or another!" shouted Kahn angrily and flipped the table.

No Way could he have foreseen that it wasn't just the traitors from the Vandereich clan but also the ones spread in the whole faction itself.

He thought that the vampire mage was just one of the people who wanted Szayel out of the equation and after he was caught, Kahn would have room to breathe and won't have to look over his shoulder again.

But what he thought was but a spark actually turned into a f.u.c.king wildfire!

And if his part in this was revealed outside of the Vandereich clan.. He would be a public enemy number one for the Demi-Human faction and even the remaining traitors who were still not found or imprisoned.

A little bird revealing the word of his part in the play and he would be done for real.

This was no different than a looming death.

Kahn was now dragged into a grand scale war.. More than what he bargained for.

He now instantly regretted saving Szayel that day. Because the outcome that resulted from his involvement far outweighed what he received in return.

Now all he could do was pray to G.o.d of Darkness to come out alive of his current predicament despite being an atheist in his previous life.

"f.u.c.k this s.h.i.+t! I'm not getting mixed up in these factions and their wars ever again!" exclaimed Kahn even though it was already too late for him.

"I hope that after this whole execution thing is done in the evening.. I can find a way out or at least get myself a protective s.h.i.+eld.

I can't put anyone's life at risk again." said Kahn.

At this moment, he had no idea how this outcome that he couldn't predict before the announcement would affect him in the long run.

Kahn then took deep breaths and tried to calm his mind.

His countenance then turned somber and the calculative side of him reappeared on his face.

"I hope at least Ronin succeeds in the task I gave him."
