Hero of Darkness

Now that the battlefield was set and Kahn was reduced to a mere beginner grandmaster rank warrior while the 12 assailants were bonafide semi-saints, the tension in the air was palpable.

Not only the strength but also in terms of numbers, Kahn was lacking. Thankfully, he could still use his doppelgangers and the cosmic replicas to even the odds.

Even so, there were still plenty of skills in his vast catalogue that could be used even at this rank and without the need to spend too much mana or use world energy.

"You all handle him just like we practised. I need to be in isolation to maintain the Warhorn of Confienment." spoke Anakin confidently.

[He has few new skills this time. But I already trained my people for all the possible scenarios based on my memories of him.

I have already broken off his connection to Rathnaar Whitlock and Peak Saint core.

No matter how much he improvises, he is bound to exhaust whatever mana and skill he has, only to end up being brought to knees in the end.

And once he is at my mercy… I will make him feel the pain and humiliation he inflicted on me.] thought Anakin.

BLIP!

In a moment, his golden armored visage quickly disappeared into this air as if he was never real in the first place.

"What the hell, where did that bastard go? He definately didn't turn invisible or entered the true dimension." spoke Kahn.

Now, the match had turned into 11 vs 11 opponents where 11 Kahn now faced 11 semi-saint opponents of unknown species.

"Alright then, bozos. Let's get the party started!" said Kahn and all versions of him sprung into action.

One of the first people he that a doppleganger who shared the mental link with Kahn attacked the white armored and black-winged winged spearman called Jargon Ultaos. Flap!

Jargon quickly took flight and created a distance between him and Kahn's doppelganger.

This was a tactical advantage in a battle against a singular opponent and a wise strategy indeed. However…

Flap!

Kahn quickly used the Caladrius wings and four 2 meter wide and majestic black wings came out of his back, spreading like the wings of an eagle as he did not waste a moment to let the opponent create extra distance.

Then, just like Oliver, he took out an Epic rank bow, one of the many he had stored since his time in Rakos Empire.

Shoot!

Shoot!

Kahn used the Wind Arrow Maelstorm skill, the skill which allowed him to create over 100 arrows of compressed wind element that could shatter walls in a single hit.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

In the air, began a dance between a prey and the predator.

If one saw it, they would feel like a sparrow was being hunted by an eagle.

Flap!

Jargon on the other side started using his Light elemental skills and launched a counterattack of massive 10 meter long spears that collided against the volley of arrows.

BOOM!

BANG!!

The sky shook from the shockwaves as the two flying birds launched their long-range attacks in succession. But right when Jargon thought he had the upper hand since Kahn was most likely to expend his mana soon…

Dhang!

Dhang!

Kahn suddenly switched all his Wind elemental arrows into the Darkness element ones midair, ending in Jargon's spears destroyed and his skill getting destroyed.

Swoosh!

And just as the backlash started to hit Jargon… Kahn used the special ability called Jetstream and temporarily increases his speed by 300% in an instant.

Woosh!

Before Jargon could even react, Kahn appeared just 2 meters away and caught him off-guard.

Shoot!

Shoot!

The spearman tried to fly away but Kahn used Grappling Extension skill, the one he often used back in his days as Azrael.

Stab!

Stab!

The spikey tendrils pierced Jargon's armor and his wings. However this was not enough to harm or overpower an opponent donning a legendary rank gear.

Flash!

Without even offering a chance to retaliate, Kahn's eyes flashed yellow as he used the Executioner's Gaze skill to quickly freeze the enemy and he pulled him closer.

Shoot!

Jargon hadn't even absorbed the fact that his body was completely stuck and Kahn to used a Darkness arrow and shot it at close range, aimed right at his neck in between the gap of the armor and the helmet.

BOOM!!

It had been only 3 minutes since their battle began…

And Kahn blows Argon's head off and quickly and then used the spike-like grappling extensions to pull his core out.

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

On another side, there was a dark blue-skinned fire elemental mage who was using hellfire to attack Kahn.

BOOM!!

Multiple firebombs had decimated the 20 meter radius during their faceoff and from many sides, he was relentlessly attacking Kahn without even giving him a moment to breathe.

Swoosh!

Using Quicksilver, Kahn instantly appeared in front of this summoner named Sulek Lankstor.

Smirk!

"And you fell for the most obvious trap!" spoke Sulek with a victorious smirk.

BOOM! A vortex of blue hellfirfire arose and Kahn's figure disappeared within.

"My Frozen Hellfire can even melt Mythril in mere seconds. Just this cheap copy is nothing." declared Sulek with a content and proud expression.

Flutter!

But right, then a black figure emerged from the fire.

"You sure about that?" a grim and terrifying voice resounded.

Step!

Step!

Kahn stepped out from the vortex of blue hellfire, completely unscathed.

"Impossible! You're just a mere knockoff!" spoke Sulek, shivering and trembling.

"Oh no, I'm the original." declared Kahn.

What Sulek didn't know that suddenly, the real Kahn switched places with the one he faced since the doppelganger was not immune to the fire of this degree.

But the original Kahn had the complete immunity to all kinds of fire in the world since he killed the Hero of Fire.

And the overconfidence caused Sulek to drop his guard.

Stab!

Kahn's eyes turned yellow again and he used Executioner's Gaze as well and stabbed Lucifer through Sulek's chest. Squirm!

Kahn's forearm turned into the Drake Claw.

Crush!

Rip!

Without wasting another moment, he grabbed abd crushed Sulek's head and took out the core.

Sulek belonged to a species who had their cores in their head instead of heart. Yet it made no difference to Kahn as he crushed the head using the mighty Drake Claw, the skill he got from the Magma Drake, the final boss of the Bromnir dungeon.

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

On the other side, the third enemy was the 4-meter tall feline-faced and gray-skinned earth elemental brawler warrior named Neamon Stragvor.

Bang!

Two fists clashed and sent tremors in the ground as Neamon wearing a golden gauntlet and Kahn wearing Bewolf faced each other.

Thanks to the Invimark Skin skill that could absorb all forms of Kinetic Energy, Kahn successfully absorbed the shock instead of being thrown away.

[He's earth elemental warrior with great strength and defense. I need to change the strategy.] thought Kahn.

Swoosh!

The Beowolf gauntlets disappeared and Kahn switched to Gungnir whose tip was crackling with lightning.

Flickr!

Kahn's eyes turned violet as he used the Subterfuge skills, the one which affected the perception of direction of the enemy.

This was the skill he once used to land the final blow against Solomon Elfenheim during his time in Flavot City.

Lunge!

He used the Impaling Thrust skill and in just 2 seconds, he stabbed the opponent over with 5 lethal thrusts that completely broke of his stone-skinned body. This was Gungir's most lethal close combat skill.

Other than the head, the entire body had 5 large holes and one could see what was beyond the body through them.

Spurt!

Blood spurted over like a fountain from Neamon's body and in the next moment…

Slash!

Kahn slashed his neck open. Before the body even dropped, he used the Drake Claw and took the core out.

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

The fourth battle was with a blue beastman called Hank Primos who had turned into a massive Ox-like monster and had lightning running across all over his body.

And the skin of this semi-saint was so thick that not a single one of Kahn's attacks had even blade a small cut.

Thud!

Thud!

Tremble!

Kahn created the Darkness Barrier to protect himslef and completely hid himself behind the barrier.

Woosh!

Like a ferocious stampeding bull, Hank charged at the barrier and clashed like a wrecking ball.

Shatter!

The barrier shattered but the very next moment, Hank found himself falling inside a large 10-meter wide and 8-meter deep pit.

Thud!

"What an idiot. As semi-saints, we already can't fly. Yet he blindly charged just to break the barrier without even thinking what could be behind it." said Kahn with a disappointed gaze.

"It would be a hassle to kill you using conventional methods since your skin is impenetrable to the current me. However, it doesn't mean I need to kill you directly." he said and next, he took out something from his space ring.

BOOM!

Kahn threw a bombs at fallen Hank.

Soon, the bombs ecxploded and spread a greenish-golden liquid that filled the entire pit.

Sizzle!

Sizzle!

"Argh!" "This is the pure and unadulterated venom acid of Bjormagandur, a legendary rank monster who can melt mountains with its venom.

No matter how resilient your skin and your abilities are… there is no escape from it unless you have legendary rank poison and venom immunity like me.

And even if it failed to melt your skin, flesh and bones, the neurotoxic venom will kill you eventually." revealed Kahn with an insidious smile.

"So start counting your last breaths and curse the moment you decided to join this assault on me." he declared…

In mere 10 seconds… Right before Kahn, Hank helplessly tried to get out as his flesh sizzled and bones crumbled and melted like leather in lava.

Kahn used the Grappling Extentions to pull out the core from his corpse just like he did with others.

"This makes the four of them."

His other copies were still fighting with other Semi-saints.

"Now 8 more to go." spoke Kahn with a calm demonor, completely unfazed.

This was current Kahn's level in terms of battle experience and skill mastery.

He used the simplest of his skills that were not even at their peak strength and effectiveness.

And yet…

Kahn killed 4 Semi-saints despite being a Grandmaster.
