Hero of Darkness

After Allister Mor Vandereich, one of the three strongest individuals of the empire and the general of the army which was unknown to many citizens of the empire till now declared his full support to Kahn.. A young swordsman who came from no powerful background, even all the top ruling powers of the empire were gobsmacked.

With this declaration, all the saints who were previously enraged and wanted to kill Kahn instantly retracted their killing intent and murderous aura. Although the two demonkin saints reacted first, others weren't far off from doing the same; let it be the Neutral, Demi-Human and Pureblood faction, majority of their top figures had the same thought.

All of them were the most powerful figures of the empire who lead millions of people in their respective clans and their strength as well as authority was unparalleled. Yet someone like Kahn insulting and then exposing the inner happenings of the competition had ostracized them in front of the whole empire.

But after Allister, the vampire faction leader announced his support… not a single one of them dared to have those thoughts linger in their minds. Because now.. Nobody in this empire could touch Kahn unless they wanted their entire clan to be wiped out of existence.

Kahn's jaw was wide open after the sudden predicament he was in. This was going completely against his plans and he was completely baffled at the moment.

Two days ago, when his opponent for the match was announced.. Kahn had Ronin do a thorough Intel gathering on Victor and his records of the previous matches.

After receiving the info and how this halfbreed demonkin usually fought against his opponents as well as his demeanor, Kahn devised a plan that he would be able to use in his favor.

Based on the information he received, Victor was simply too arrogant, impulsive and prideful of his background and lineage. And that was why Kahn started to insult this opponent since the very beginning of the match by telling him to kneel and beg on the ground if he wanted to win the match.

And as expected, the demonkin warrior ended up threatening Kahn after he didn't want to accept his defeat. And that was the exact moment Kahn was aiming for.

And all the High Lord subordinates who had a human form were ordered to infiltrate and subdue the staff of the broadcasting station so his blood boiling speech would enrage the crowd.

His original plan included him exposing what happened to him, how he was being targeted and even nearly getting killed. And to put the cherry on top.. Albestros himself was going to come down here and give his support as well as tell their tragic story about his children and how Kahn avenged them. To sway the public opinion and gain their imminent support.

And once the whole audience watching the match sided with him.. Not just these noble clans.. But any powerful figure or a saint would dare to touch him until the finals.

Because if anything happened to Kahn after this.. The whole empire would be filled with riots and public disorder to a degree that even the saints, clans, factions and the government itself wouldn't be able to contain it even if all of them joined hands together.

And that was exactly what Kahn had planned after the meeting with subordinates and Albestros.

Everything was going according to the plan until the two impatient demonkin saints who were foolish enough to attack him while the whole empire was watching came into play.

But then, Allister showing up and now declaring his support to Kahn turned his original plans upside down. Because even in his case, the recommendation token should've worked again to save him in that situation but instead.. The owner of the token himself came to save Kahn.

And now, Allister openly declaring his support also meant that Kahn was now tied to the pureblood faction whether he wanted it or not. In a way.. He just became a proxy chosen representative of their faction.

While he was lost in thoughts.. Allister spoke again in his authoritative tone.

"The reason I'm declaring my support to this young man is because I'm impressed with his courage and bravery.

He chose to speak against inequality and injustice that I was suspicious of myself.

To reveal the misconduct in front of the whole empire despite knowing the risk to his life was something only a true patriot of our empire would do.

In my eyes, he is no different than those brave soldiers who fight and risk their lives on our borders as they defend our empire with their sweat and blood!

Tell me.. O' people of Rakos Empire.. Does a brave man like this do not deserve our full support?

I can't say anything about others but I and my pureblood faction shall never condone such actions and hence, we will fully support Kahn during the investigation that I will appeal for to the government." spoke Allister with his regal demeanor.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The next moment, two more godly beings descended from the air and landed in front of them.

A white-bearded tigerkin and an elven mage dressed in kingly robes also entered the chat group.

"For those who do not know, my name is Stalin Joseif. I'm the leader of the Neutral faction as well as the chairman of the council of ministers." spoke the Tigerkin with an upright expression.

"And I am Jeremiah Themis, leader of the Demi-Human faction as well as the chief justice of the supreme court of our great empire." spoke the elderly elven mage with a kind expression.

"We are here to applaud this young man's chivalrous deed; the selfless action of putting the truth out there and exposing the shameful act of trying to dictate the winner of this sacred competition." spoke Stalin.

"And I will personally form a committee to investigate this whole issue myself." spoke the Elven mage but then his gaze shifted to the demonkin saints and Victor, who was still lying in the ground.

He spoke with a grim and contemptuous tone that sent shivers in their bodies…

"As for you three… I shall deliver the judgment myself!"
