Hero of Darkness Chapter 297: Man Vs Devil

Chapter 297: Man Vs Devil

Two tangible dense and chaotic auras clas.h.i.+ng against each other filled the entire battlefield as the figures releasing it looked at each other with their battle instincts raised to the peak. After Kahn's sudden revelation of being a semi-saint, all the citizens of the empire watching this match were shaken to their cores.

"How is that possible?! Where does this boy come from?!" spoke a 3rd stage saint in one of the VIP rooms.

"Impossible!! How come there was another semi-saint in the compet.i.tion and no one knew it yet?!" exclaimed a saint from the neutral faction.

"Which faction does he belong to? Who is his backer? Did he use a recommendation token?" asked an elven saint to his aides.

Soon, millions and then billions of people started discussing this new information while the two combatants in the battle ring were only focused on each other.

Although Victor was also taken aback at first, he quickly recovered his composure and put on a guard lest his opponent uses that opportunity and attack him when he was careless.

"You.. Which clan do you belong to?" asked Victor with a cautious tone.

"Bah, do you really want to waste time on chit-chat and my origin story? Or do you want to fight and see which one of us is stronger?" asked Kahn with a smirk on his face.

"Besides.. My audience thinks the plot has been dragged down too long already.

And they want to see a good fight." he said and released War Dominance at full power this time.

Kahn could already sense that Victor was at least 5 levels above him so there was no need to hold back.

The reason why he chose to reveal his rank as semi-saint now was because of two main reasons.

One, he couldn't defeat Victor with his restricted ranks and stats. And second, after Stronoff's visit to his manor, Kahn knew that he will be targeted by him and the pureblood faction sooner or later.

In order to prepare against whatever that was happening behind the scenes which he still didn't know anything about.. Kahn had to become the center of attention and have people keep talking about him.

That way, no one would dare to cause him harm or try to oppress him when everyone was watching.

"Fine then. Let's talk after I put you in the ground first. Don't expect me to show any mercy." said Victor with an expectant look as the warrior within him was yearning for a good fight.

Soon, fifty scythes made from his red and highly compressed aura formed in the air above him. Each of these Scythes were 5 meters long in height.

Shrill!

On the other end, Kahn also used Sword Savant skill and created fifty greatswords made of black and red aura that were identical to Lucifer in appearance. The five meters long greatswords made from 5 different elements such as fire, ice, lightning, earth and wind hovered in the air.

STUNNED!

Not only Victor but all the saints were stunned on the spot in their respective rooms on the highest floors of this battle arena.

And the fact that his aura swords were made from 5 different elements at once already made him worthy of being called a prodigy born once in a century.

Because Swordsmen had the most difficulty when mastering different elements and forming aura blades.

Although Kahn was already known to be a magic swordsman in the eyes of the audience, he had revealed mastery over 5 different elements.

Even Veronica Mikealson who was called the 2nd most talented swordswoman of the younger generation in the whole empire could use only 4 elements.

This also displayed that Kahn, one without any prestigious faction or clan's backing was as talented and of the same caliber as Victor who was trained by some of the best of the best teachers in the empire.

This display of skills was too shocking for everyone within the whole empire.

"Who the h.e.l.l is this guy?! I want to know everything about him!!" commanded a 4th stage lionkin saint from the Demi-Human faction.

On the battlefield, Kahn looked at his shocked opponent and his greatswords pointed their tips towards the demonkin opponent.

"Hey, don't doze off now. I don't have too many chapters to waste on you. So let's start." he said and charged towards the scythe user.

"Chapters.. What the h.e.l.l is he talking about?" wondered Victor and quickly noticed the approaching enemy.

Kahn had activated all of his battle-related pa.s.sive skills and soon, the entire battlefield was filled with loud clas.h.i.+ng noises and explosions as the aura weapons created by both the combatants filled the battlefield.

BOOM!!

An ear-deafening noise sent shockwaves as both Victor and Kahn covered in their auras finally clashed against each other in a head-on attack.

The battleground made of hard stones already started cracking from the impact where both the partic.i.p.ants engaged in their first clash.

Sparks flew in between the sharp edges of their weapons as two 5 feet long weapons. .h.i.t against each other.

SHRILL!!

Just then, One of Kahn's aura swords attacked Victor from behind while he himself had locked the enemy's movements.

BOOM!

But before the sword could hit, it was attacked from the scythe on the left and deflected the sword in the stead of its owner.

"Not bad. You have good control." said Kahn as his figure disappeared from the place in an instant.

Swoos.h.!.+

Kahn appeared 20 meters away from the opponent and just then, more than five aura scythes. .h.i.t the ground where he stood moments ago.

BOOM!!

Another loud explosion shook the battlefield as Kahn barely escaped the onslaught from the ma.s.sive scythes in the last moment thanks to Survival Instinct blessing.

The swirling storm of aura scythes had completely surrounded Kahn and he realized that the opponent wasn't intending on test his limits and decided to fight him at their peak.

However, as soon as the explosion waned, a sight that shook the whole empire appeared in the middle of the battlefield.

But before they could even digest what just happened, another loud explosion happened on the swordsman's end.

A ma.s.sive explosion of heat filled this side as if a volcano had erupted. This heat was so intense that the stoned battleground itself started melting.

Thud! Thud!

A man donned in black and crimson armor that was literally on fire walked out of this explosion.

His appearance looked even more demonic than the opponent who had chosen to finally use his bloodline as well.

At this moment, Kahn had finally summoned his armor for the first time in this compet.i.tion.

And now, he was wearing..

THE DRAKOS ARMOR!!
