Hero of Darkness

After draining out life force from Volka, Armin let go of the body as it fell towards the ground. This last move of his had a part to play soon thus he chose to give the saint archer a terrifying death. 

Thud! 

Volka's withered body dropped on the ground but his killer paid no attention. Instead, Armin had different things to do. 

Swoosh! 

Swoosh!

Thousands of small green orbs burst out from Armin's body as he released the life force he had absorbed from his enemy's body. 

Crack!

Crack! 

Crackling noises filled the surrounding the gigantic tree sentinels, treats and flying wood elemental creatures that he previously created returned to the ground and started to disassemble themselves through the assistance of Armin's aura. 

Now, all the trees, vines and leaves were broken, twisted and shattered mostly after they grounded themselves in the soil. But as soon as these thousands of small green orbs filled with life force were absorbed by the flora and fauna of the battlefield… they started healing on their own as if they were being rejuvenated. 

In just 10 minutes, the entire forest was back to its former state as if there was never a battle in the first place. 

Even Venessa who watched Armin perform this miracle was left speechless. Because what he did just now wasn't possible even for the best healers and druids in the entire Vulcan empire no matter how high ranked they were. 

Armin just brought 15 kilometers of the forested region back to life, even more vigorous and denser than before. And all she could do was watch in amazement. 

Other members of Kahn's group were at a far distance but due to the span of their respective battlefields, Venessa sensed that none of them were normal just like Armin before her. 

[Their background isn't simple. Could they be an elite force of some empire that tried to infiltrate into our lands?] even she was forced to question herself because what she saw didn't make sense in the slightest. 

BANG!! 

Crackle!! 

Thunderclap! 

Venessa quickly looked towards her left and noticed an inconceivable scene that she didn't expect to see here at all. 

"Seriously… Who the hell are you people?!" shouted the princess as she saw a half hawk and half man at the center of the storm full of wind elemental attacks and lightning. 

And the source of this mayhem was an archer who seemed to have created an entire battlefield of his own. The one causing this chaos was none other than… 

Oliver. 

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

18 kilometers away from Armin's location, was a battlefield full of typhoons and lightning strikes. There was nothing but utter destruction and not a single portion of the landscape was left untouched. 

Trees, grass and roots were uprooted by the terrifyingly strong winds while the ground caught fire because of the lightning bolts striking the ground from time to time in the 5 kilometer radius. 

At this moment, Oliver now faced a black snakekin tank warrior with a large red shield and a giant mace in his hand as he faced again this Hawkman archer with a dark brown body and wings.

Bloodline : Godbeast Roc

Bloodline purity : 37%] reported the system after Oliver asked for the details just like the rest. 

To the onlookers, this battle would look no different than a faceoff between an Eagle and a Snake. 

Oliver summoned his new set and quickly mixed his variant bloodline that the potential to surpass even the Godbeast Roc in the future. 

The sky blue armor with green hue transformed and quickly turned into a combination of blue, golden and brown colored armor set. And now, Oliver no longer looked like a barbarian Hawkman with a bare chest and large wings but a properly geared archer. 

Because of his bloodline merged with the armor… Oliver's figure grew from 3 meters to 5 meters tall and so did his entire gear and wings that automatically expanded themselves to fit his new appearance. 

Even his talons and wings now possessed an aura of supremacy as if an overlord of the sky was looking down on all earthly creatures. 

"Effects." said Oliver without wasting another moment. 

[Following are the effects of the Shu Armor set : 

Shoot for the Sky : 

General Oliver can now create an invisible Sky Domain which will have the wind pressure, formation of clouds and condensation of lightning fully under the user's control. 

Any enemy under the Sky Domain will have their agility and dexterity reduced by 30%.

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

Don't fly too close to the Sun :

The flight capacity of the enemies will be reduced by 40% and they will feel a suppression that will restrict their physical movements while trying to ascend higher than general Oliver. 

This suppression will apply to any enemy regardless of their rank and levels whether they're higher or lower ranked than the general.

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

Note : Sky Emperor, Thunderbird Wings, Stormbringer and Soul Distortion can be used now without general Oliver having to transform into his true form.] reported the system. 

"Ha ha ha! Good. This means inside the sky domain, I'm basically in control of the entire battlefield. 

Once my levels and rank increase, so will my range and effectiveness. This new armor is indeed incredible for the long-term use." he spoke in elation. 

Because compared to other members of their crew, Oliver lacked proper gear the most. And now with the help of Shu Armor set, he was basically the endgame boss who couldn't even be reached no matter how high you tried to fly in order to catch him. 

Oliver then looked at his opponent who was getting tired out because of the continuous attacks from hundreds of wind elemental arrows and blades made of highly compressed air. 

"Whatever you do… wherever you go." said Oliver in a grim tone as if a hunter was looking at its defenseless prey. 

His eyes locked with that of the snakekin as he spoke in a domineering voice that sent shivers in his opponent's spine… 

"I'll be watching you."
