Hero of Darkness

After a battle strategy was finalized and Edmund was left unconscious, Kahn and the group decided to go all out right from the very start as planned by Rathnaar. 

One after another, Kahn's subordinates created a distance of 5 kilometers away from each and revealed their true forms. 

BOOM! 

BOOM!! 

One after another, 8 different auras revealed by massive monstrous beings came into sight. Their overwhelming and dreadful pressure destroyed nearly 40 kilometers of the region in different directions as they encircled the Elder Hydra. 

For the first time, every single one of Kahn's subordinates had taken their true legendary and mythical rank forms all at the same time. 

As for Kahn himself… he activated the recently upgraded Asura Mode using all the powerful bloodlines he had after nearly a year. 

The last time he took this form was when they fought Axel Lobethrox aka the Hero of Fire. And now, he was using it against this incredibly powerful floor boss. 

"Let's fight this floor boss… with overwhelming power." spoke Kahn to his group. 

Was their battle tactics to fight one enemy using 9 of them honorable and chivalrous conduct? 

Hell no! 

But the current Kahn was not the one to follow any code of honor. It was a Kill or be Killed situation. Morals and Ethics didn't mean shit if you were dead and your corpse was rotting inside a swamp. 

With subordinates who are no different than dungeon bosses themselves, they charged at the Elder Hydra. 

"Be careful. All of you must stall for enough time and create an opening." he commanded and dashed, because of his current form, Kahn was the smallest, comparable to an ant against the enormous sizes of his subordinates but he was the fastest at this moment. 

BOOM!! 

Jugram in his Diablos form leaped high in the air and faced the head of the elder hydra with Ice element. 

Blackwall in his Kronos primordial titan form plunged his hands inside the deep waters and soon, he created a canal while surrounding the nearby 10 kilometers of radius using the earth at the bottom of the swap. 

His part was to clear terrain and restrict the Hydra as it was a sea creature with extreme agility inside water. The more water he got out through the canal, the more agility this boss would lose while he blocked all escape routes. 

Oliver in his massive Thunderbird form flew high in the sky, spreading his 500 meters wide wings on each side while summoning dozens of typhoons as he targeted the head with Fire element. 

Contrary to how one would think, extremely condensed and high pressure was capable of easily cutting through the most destructive fire attacks if used correctly. Thus, Oliver was tasked to face this head on his own. 

Omega in his Hrodvitnir form, who was now the 2nd biggest subordinate in Kahn's troop after Blackwall, faced the head with Light element because he had Lightning element. 

Kahn and Ceril were weak against the Light element and the only element to overpower Light was Lightning element in this world. 

Armin had taken his Erdtree form, turning into a 4 legged massive green monster who exuded enormous life force. 

He engaged the Hydra's head which let out Corrosion breath that could rot everything. 

The reason why he was tasked with facing this head was because he had a lot of life force and can regenerate easily in a matter of seconds. 

Ronin in his new Mythical rank form faced the head with Venom that would instantly melt even another legendary rank monster. Because not only did he have immunity against it but also his movement and ability to pass through attacks was extremely useful in the current scenario. 

Ceril in his Legendary Rank form which was an undead with Scythe of the Reaper as weapon and 6 black wings on his back which helped him fly even without the use of world energy engaged the head with Lightning element. 

He had plenty of darkness elemental long-range attacks such as Darkness Mirage Blade Barrage skill that allowed him to attack with thousands of curved blades made with darkness element. 

He was one of the 3 people capable to face lightning element in the group since both darkness and lightning were equally matched in terms of strength and also called as the 2 strongest elements of nature. 

Now that the 6 heads had their respective counter-opponents engaged in a battle with them, only Kahn and Rudra, both of whom had a considerable part to play as well. 

Kahn in his Asura form left shockwaves after shockwaves as he sprinted on the surface of swamp water as if he was using his Chakra to run on it. 

His target was the head taking on the head with Darkness element. Because not only was he impervious to the darkness element, but he also had a very useful skill to fight against creatures of this element. 

Swoosh! 

He summoned Lucifer in his hands and blue lightning ran across its blade wildly as Kahn himself leaped close to 500 meters high in the air. 

Although he was a 3rd stage saint, his body was as strong as a legitimate 4th stage saint. This much distance in a single leap was like taking a normal step on the ground for him. 

ROARR!! 

At this moment, the Elder Hydra was enraged as it saw all of its heads being targeted on all fronts, yet it felt no sense of danger, but rather an excitement that told him to trample on these enemies. 

Soon, it rose high, revealing its full 1 kilometer tall body with snake-like heads that were 300 meters long each. 

HISSSS!!! 

All the heads shot out a beam of their respective elements and targeted their opponents that were charging from few kilometers away. 

BOOM! 

BANG! 

Extremely dangerous elemental attacks crashed against their respective targets and destroyed the nearby terrains while wounding their opponents. Each breath was strong and wide enough to kill 10 thousand enemies at once when faced directly. 

However, during this faceoff, the Elder Hydra felt fear for the first time. 

A massively oppressive aura with terrifying killing intent bombarded its body, trying to set its dominance and supremacy over it. And the source of his majestic and domineering aura was… 

Rudra!
