Hero of Darkness Chapter 814 Place In The Food Chain

Chapter 814 Place In The Food Chain

Romulus Lykaios activated and introduced his Domain of Slaughter, terrifying Kahn and making him feel mortified as the latter not only had his own domain crushed and turned into dust like a sand castle… but all of his physical stats, skills and abilities were also lost 90% of their effectiveness.

Kahn on the receiving end couldn't differentiate whether this domain filled with death, blood and war was real or just his imagination. Due to this immensely terrifying feeling, his heart kept palpitating.

This was also the first time Kahn had actually faced a powerful saint's domain ever since he was summoned inside Vantrea and it broke all of his previous a.s.sumptions.

As things were unraveling themselves… He found out that even his strongest AoE skill which basically allowed him to fight people stronger than himself was nothing but a cheap imitation.

And now… He couldn't even muster the strength to move his body willingly as if he was paralyzed.

"Prepare yourself." spoke the wolfkin saint as he clenched his right fist.

But suddenly, he just flicked his forefinger towards Kahn.

Silence!

For the following seconds, nothing happened and even Kahn was confused.

"What was he trying to…"

However, he didn't get to finish the sentence as an invisible force suddenly hit the body.

Bang!

Like a cannonball, Kahn's entire body shot towards the ground below as an intangible object similar to a mountain struck him.

BOOM!!

Kahn landed on one of the mountains and entered so deep until the impact was absorbed… He almost entered the very core of the mountain.

Crack!

Crack!

Due to the impact and the vibrations, even the mountain formed dozens of large cracks.

Whoos.h.!.+

Using all of his strength, Kahn jumped out before the mountain buried him.

"Argh!"

Kahn groaned in pain as his entire body felt like it was. .h.i.t with a hammer, almost cracking all of his bones and destroying his internal organs.

The regeneration skills and his defensive skills protected him despite their negligible potency at this point. Otherwise, Kahn would probably be entombed inside the mountain like an egyptian pharaoh.

"Good. You could at least survive that much." spoke Romulus, nodding in approval.

He then sent one of his ma.s.sive 100 meter tall greatswords filled with blistering red aura towards Kahn.

From the other side, Kahn also summoned his 100 meter tall greatsword made with 5 different elements.

Dragon Strike!

BOOM!!

A ground-shattering shockwave resounded in the surroundings and the thousands of bloodied corps on the ground were flung hundreds of meters due to the aftershocks.

However… Kahn was extremely distraught. The cause being the fact that his strongest and most destructive skill… was destroyed.

"Two done. 8 to go." said Romulus, revealing a mischievous smile.

BOOM!

Bang!

Those were the only noises heard as every single attack from Romulus nearly killed Kahn.

Here, his doppelgangers didn't even help and neither did his Dimensional Cut skill.

All Romulus had to do was think and he was already a couple of kilometers away from the attack.

There was even a time when he tried to fake his death using one of his doppelgangers but the wolfkin sneered instead, saying such cheap tricks would only fool a r.e.t.a.r.d.

"You're good for someone self-taught. You have incredible abilities and skills as well that many don't have.

But how long can you survive?" asked the peak 7th stage saint.

The difference between Kahn and Romulus was like 'Heaven and Earth' indeed.

If the latter willed it… Kahn would instantly die.

The only useful skills that could work at the moment were phase s.h.i.+ft, his regeneration abilities and Dimensional Cut as Romulus had basically sealed off all the other skills and abilities he had acquired till now.

"See, without multiple of your abilities… You're nothing.

You have no technique unique to your own.

You have not created any specific abilities or signature attack skills other than that ma.s.sive greatsword made of elements.

Don't think that the world is filled with weaklings like the ones you've fought till now." he openly berated Kahn as he put the latter in a half-dead state with his 8th attack.

"What do you think would happen if you fought someone many times stronger than yourself?" asked the heavenly king in contempt.

"Stop flexing your strength. You're a peak 7th stage saint bullying a 1st stage saint now.

How is that even fair?" retorted Kahn while coming out of a ma.s.sive pit of blood and corpse where he was thrown into after getting hit.

Romulus on the other end scoffed and responded in a grim voice.

"Huh! Do you think the battlefield will be fair?

Your enemy will be fair or have the honor to fight you as equals?

In a war… You're either the predator or the prey."

"n.o.body cares if you're weaker than them.

You're just another dead body to your enemies." his tyrannical voice shook the nearby region.

"I'm not even using my peak strength or using many of my attack abilities and physical attacks. Yet you're already so helpless.

And you want to know a shocking fact?" he questioned with visible mockery on his face.

"I'm not even the strongest person of this empire."

----------------

10 Minutes Later.

Huff!

Huff!

Kahn had lost his right arm and left leg while he lay on open ground that was previously a mountain but now turned into smithereens.

Luckily… He survived the final strike from the enemy.

"Everyone praises the summoned Heroes too much because they're the representatives of the G.o.ds and the public pays too much attention to them.

But the real truth is that they're just puppets and chess pieces for the truly strong." his ghastly voice echoed as he looked at Kahn from the sky like an ancient transcendent deity.

"If you take out a few exceptions like your predecessor…

The truly powerful and strong people who reigned supreme have always been the native people of Vantrea." he stated with a domineering demeanor.

"Chosen heroes are just people with immense potential.

But even people like them can be killed easily before they reach their peak.

How are you going to fight and survive against those types of old freaks and monsters with these meager and circ.u.mstantially useful skills of yours?" he mocked Kahn again whose body was regenerating.

At this moment… Kahn was alive solely because of Drakos Armor.

"See how pathetic you are?

I'm only using 10% of my strength but the moment I activated my domain… you became unable to even withstand that much.

In terms of the truly powerful people of this world...

Your place is at the bottom of the food chain." he declared in an unempathetic and disregarding tone.

[This b.a.s.t.a.r.d! He's mocking me again and again.] cursed Kahn in his mind.

[Boy, don't lose your rationality.

If he wanted to… You'd be dead already.] even Rathnaar had to admit that Kahn was indeed a headless chicken and a fish on the chopping board in front of Romulus.

"Alas… you have survived 10 attacks. So you have pa.s.sed my test." said the 3 meter tall wolfkin with a firey body.

"So from now on…" said Romulus and his figure appeared beside Kahn and he declared his intentions.

"You're under my tutelage."
