Hero of Darkness Chapter 871 Display Of Power

Chapter 871 Display Of Power

Kahn found himself in a unique position, fighting for people who were not his own and over whom he had no direct responsibility.

As the shadow disciple of the Heavenly King, the lives of these soldiers and the civilians of Kunlun were simply part of his mission. However, he did not take the gravity of the situation lightly.

When his master tasked him with learning what it meant to be a War General, he didn't know it was about more than just going to battle and killing enemies.

But now he understood that it was about taking responsibility for the lives of those under his command.

Now, as a leader responsible for the well-being of millions, Kahn found himself faced with a difficult decision.

He knew that to protect these people, he would have to throw away his own code of conduct. It was a weighty burden, but he could not let his personal beliefs get in the way of fulfilling his duty.

He realized that as a War General, he needed to be adaptable and make tough decisions for the greater good, even if it went against his own values.

Even after once being the Sovereign of Verla.s.slen, the old Kahn would have recoiled at the mere thought of killing thousands of rebels and monsters who were forced to attack the walls against their will. However, the situation demanded a clear course of action, and the conflict of interests led to a full-blown war...

And Kahn did what a war general should… He closed his heart to the pain and suffering of his enemies.

Atreus observed the 2nd stage saint who struggled to withstand the relentless barrage of waterblades, his defenses barely holding up against the powerful attack. Meanwhile, the brawler wolfkin was relentlessly butchering the saint's troops without even moving from his spot.

Suddenly, a black and golden throne materialized out of nowhere from Kahn's s.p.a.ce ring, and he gracefully sat on it, folding his right leg.

"I believe it's time to begin the trial." he announced, and with a snap of his fingers, the downpour ceased, and the sky cleared up.

The rebel foces and monsters on the battlefield let out a collective sigh of relief, as Atreus deactivated his Waterblade Hurricane skill.

However, the calm was short-lived, as a bone-chilling voice echoed across the battlefield, sending s.h.i.+vers down everyone's spine.

"What are you all getting excited about?" the eerie voice taunted them, making everyone quiver in fright.

The saint leader of the enemy troops seized the opportunity to flee, hoping to escape the wrath of this new mysterious figure who had just arrived.

But before he could take more than a few steps, a jarring voice echoed in his mind, freezing him in his tracks.

[Did I say you could leave?]

The lionkin froze in terror as Atreus deftly wielded his Telekinesis skill, halting the saint's movement in its tracks.

The latter instead took out a cigar and relished in its rich and earthly scent.

Clink!

Clink!

Suddenly, a strange and nightmarish phenomenon began to unfold before their eyes. Thousands of multicolored pillars of light materialized in the sky, each representing a different element of reality. The atmosphere grew tense as the pillars began to converge and condense, forming the shapes of various weapons.

The sound of metal clanging against metal filled the air as the weapons took form, one after another. Each weapon was a ma.s.sive 10 meters in length and carried a different elemental attribute, save for light and darkness.

As the weapons took shape, Atreus remained poised and ready, his eyes locked onto the hapless saint.

The scenario was eerily reminiscent of Romulus, the Heavenly King's Domain of Slaughter, which he had used to devastating effect against Kahn.

The lionkin watched in awe as Atreus summoned the weapons with ease, his mastery over the elements on full display. The sight was truly terrifying, a reminder of the sheer power that this Fenrirborne commanded.

Despite the terrifying display of power, Atreus knew that this makes.h.i.+ft battlefield was a mere beginner level, with a range that was limited to a radius of only 5 kilometers. In contrast, Romulus had a staggering 50-kilometer radius, making him a force to be reckoned with.

In truth, this entire scenario was an experimental skill that Kahn had been attempting to create, using Harnessing and Conceptualization skills he had learned from his master. With this technique, Kahn could replicate dozens of weapons using the world energy in the surrounding area, and manipulate their elemental attributes at will.

However, as impressive as the skill was in theory, it still required practice and practical demonstration in a real-life battle scenario. And as his master had hinted before Kahn was sent to Kunlun, this battle presented an ideal opportunity for him to test out his newfound technique on the field for the very first time.

As the battle raged on, one of the semi-saint captains managed to establish contact with his counterparts stationed at the other end of the battlefield. He activated a small communication artifact, which projected a miniature hologram of himself to the other captains.

"The general is protecting us. How are things on your end?" asked the elk captain who previously attended the meeting in the war room.

"What the h.e.l.l are you saying?! The general is…" a baffled response came from the other side as the responder was completely filled with disbelief.

He spoke with a frightened tone and continued his answer…

"He's fighting the enemies right in front of us."

Within minutes, more communications came in, all bearing the same message. Each captain reported a similar scene: their general, Atreus Bellator, was purging the rebel forces and monsters with ease, using his formidable skills to protect the city and its inhabitants.

The captains also reported that they were being protected by a powerful barrier that covered the entrances to the city, preventing any enemies from entering. It was clear that Atreus was not only a powerful fighter but also a skilled tactician, capable of using his abilities to their fullest potential.

As the reports continued to pour in, the city's millions of inhabitants breathed a collective sigh of relief. They knew that their general was more than capable of protecting them, and that they could rest easy knowing that their safety was a.s.sured.

"Ahhhh!"

"Run for your lives!"

RAWRRR!!!

The sound of wails and screams filled the air as the rebel forces and monsters were mercilessly slaughtered by a single warrior.

Fireb.a.l.l.s rained down from the sky, burning many to death, while wind blades sliced through flesh and bone with ease. Swords made of water cleaved through their bodies, while weapons and spears crafted from stones and metals crushed them underfoot. Lightning arrows struck down countless foes, and ma.s.sive vines entangled their feet, sapping the life force from their bodies.

It was a one-sided ma.s.sacre, with millions of enemies falling to the might of a single man... Kahn.

Kahn watched the battle unfold in other 3 entry points of Kunlun through his cosmic replicas that fought on the other battlefields, without lifting a finger.

The rebel forces and monster army, which would have required hundreds of thousands of soldiers, dozens of wars.h.i.+ps, and at least five saints to defeat, were being decimated by Kahn's power alone…

As he watched this slaughter while smoking a cigar on his throne.
