Hero of Darkness Chapter 501: Escape Plan

Chapter 501: Escape Plan

As soon as Kahn realized that no matter what he did, he had no choice but to flee the Rakos Empire… his countenance turned to that of an infuriated man.

"This can't be happening! Do you know how much I've worked just to settle myself in this empire?

I even went as far as to take on this stupid mission just for the sake of securing my future till I became a sixth stage saint!

And because of you, all my efforts have been ruined!!" shouted Kahn at Rathnaar.

"Huh? Why are you blaming me? You were going to be found out sooner or later anyway.

My soul getting bound to yours is not that serious." retorted Rathnaar.

"Not serious my a.s.s! Before you, I at least had an option to stay inside this empire. And now… all the powers present here will be after me!

And even if I somehow managed to survive or become the emperor of this place… the other empires would still send their heroes and top saints after me.

How the h.e.l.l am I supposed to take on 12 empires on my own even with the support of one?" complained Kahn with an exasperated expression.

"On top of it, this tablet is also a precious secret that they all have been looking for. So I'm basically the most wanted man in the world because of two reasons that all of them are desperately after." he rebuked the emperor.

"Tch! So dramatic. If you can't handle the situation, give me the control of your body.

I'll keep us both alive." replied Rathnaar.

"f.u.c.k off!" said Kahn.

"I need to make a plan… that way… I will get to escape without losing anything I have here in this empire." said Kahn.

Just then, Omega spoke.

"Master, She's coming close. What do you want us to do."

As soon as he heard the words, a light bulb glowed over Kahn's head and a plan hatched in his mind.

"That b.i.t.c.h tried to kill me for this tablet, didn't she?

Let her have it." said Kahn with an evil grin.

[Ronin, Ceril and Omega… here's what I want you to do.] spoke Kahn and relayed his newly hatched plan to his subordinates.]

Half an hour later… Celine Armitage appeared in this grand ancient hall while being mildly injured from all the traps and mazes she went through to reach here.

"Finally! It's mine!" said Celine with an elated expression and walked close to the tablet.

"Come forth, my descendant. I have been waiting for you."

A tyrannical and archaic voice resounded in the hall.

"Who? Who is it?" asked Celine in a frightened tone as he prepared her swords to fight.

"My name… is Rathnaar Whitlock, The First Emperor of the Rakos Empire. I see that you possess the bloodline of my family.

Tell me, child. Are you here for the Tablet of Arcana?" revealed and asked Rathnaar.

Celine quickly kneeled on the ground like an obedient subject and spoke in a terrified voice.

"Great Ancestor… I have indeed come for the tablet as the only remaining descendant of the Imperial bloodline.

I ask that you allow me to take it with myself."

"What do you mean?" asked Rathnaar.

Soon, an elaborate conversation between the first emperor and Celine began which eventually led her to reveal the fate of the Imperial family and her lies about how she wanted to rebuild the bloodline and reclaim the throne began.

After an hour of conversation, Rathnaar agreed to let her have the Tablet of Arcana and she put it inside her s.p.a.ce ring.

However, at this very moment… there were 2 sets of eyes watching the whole thing.

[Alright, we're done here. Let's go back to the entrance.] ordered Kahn.

Another hour pa.s.sed and Celine returned to the entrance and looked at Kahn's deceased figure lying in a pool of blood but the smile on her face seemed unaffected as she finally completed the mission that would decide the fate of her clan and secure her future as the biggest prodigy, the most talented swordsmaiden and future empress of the Rakos Empire.

But suddenly… her mind started becoming hazy and Celine felt like the world around her was turning upside down.

Thud!

Celine fainted and fell on the ground.

She woke up 20 minutes later and decided to quickly depart the final zone as she feared losing her consciousness again. There was no room for any mistakes until she arrived at her entry zone and delivered the tablet to her faction.

She left Kahn's corpse without any care and began her journey back to the door she came from.

"What a moron. I guess it is right that she should pay for killing me..." spoke Kahn who appeared from the shadows while his doppelganger on the ground disappeared.

"We have everything we need. There are still 5 days left till the expedition is officially over.

We need to make our moves before anyone finds out the truth." spoke Kahn.

ONE DAY LATER.

Kahn and the whole group exited the outer door from where they entered the forbidden region thanks to Omega's new gravity law skills which increased their speed by multiple times.

"Ronin. Make sure both of them get it on the fifth day." said Kahn and aside from Ronin, everyone else left for their wars.h.i.+p.

Kahn then traveled back to Aesir using their wars.h.i.+p and began the work.

Because soon, he would have no choice but to leave the Rakos Empire no matter what.

But he didn't plan to just leave like a coward who wouldn't dare to go against the people who screwed him over just because he was weak.

In the upcoming days, let it be the Verla.s.sen fiefdom or even the entire Rakos Empire… there was going to be chaos so grand that even all the n.o.ble factions would get the biggest headache of their entire lifetime.

Although he had no choice but to leave… Kahn wasn't going to run without making a scene. Rather…

He was going to f.u.c.k over every single one of his enemies.
