Hero of Darkness
chapter-139

Silence. Total silence.

Kahn's sudden declaration of daylight robbery when these people were having a life and death situation left both sides speechless.

Even Szayel had the surprised pikachu expression.

His eyes were glued to the man in front of him in disbelief. He thought that the sudden emergence of this heroic figure who even put all the enemies on their knees was a godsend opportunity for him to leave this place alive.

But his presumed savior was actually there to... Rob him?

Before Szayel could even speak another word, the leader of the attacking side let out another burst of his aura and broke the pressure around him.. But in the end, all he could do was stand up properly; in no position to fight against this new enemy because his body still felt a huge pressure around it and his movements felt restricted.

His expression turned serious and then fearful of Kahn.

"How is this possible?.. Did the news of our ambush get leaked?" asked the wolfkin leader.

"What do you mean boss?" asked one of the soldiers behind the leader who was still kneeling on the ground.

"That guy.. Is a Semi-Saint rank swordsman." replied the red wolfkin.

"Hey, you!" suddenly Kahn called out to the leader.

"I'm giving all of you a choice. Leave all your weapons and belongings here and I'll let you walk alive." he declared.

"This bastard!" shouted the leader and took out a yellow crystalline magic artifact and crushed it under his palm.

Suddenly, a shockwave was released from the shattered artifact and the aura of War Dominance waned by half. The two hundred soldiers who were kneeling finally felt their bodies being able to stand up on their feet and quickly got in their attacking stances.

Just with the aura alone.. They knew that this young man was a formidable enemy and should not be looked down upon.

"Who the hell are you?" asked the red wolfkin as he and all the soldiers got in their formation and circled Kahn & Szayel.

Kahn resisted the urge to say 'I'm Batman' and replied with an aloof expression.

"Just a passerby." spoke Kahn.

"Bullshit! Which clan do you belong to? Or are you one of his bodyguards?" asked the leader.

"Huh? Are you braindead? Do I look like these guys? Given the color of our clothes, I should be counted as one of you guys." said Kahn in a sarcastic tone.

"Now then, do you comply or should I start using my sword?" asked Kahn as he turned around and swung Lucifer in a horizontal slash.

"Arr!!" a sudden wail resounded and a head dropped on the ground. A headless body of an assassin followed behind it and a bloodied sword blade flickered again and stabbed an invisible figure on Kahn's left side.

"You.." spoke the invisible assassin and dropped on the ground as his chest was pierced through by this semi-saint rank swordsman.

"Shall I take it as a no?" asked Kahn to the leader as he gave a light smirk.

It had been too many days since he had a proper fight. And these two hundred people were going to his new test subjects.

And also, he needed a practice session of his new Sword King skill and other S & SS Rank sword skills that he gained. Compared to when Kahn fought against Arkham & Solomon, he was already twice stronger and all his offensive skills now had double the force behind them and his effective range had improved to 250 meters for all his long-range attacks such as Aura Blades or Darkblade.

But since he couldn't use his Dark magic skills, he would have to depend on the normal attack. But this was enough for him to deal with these many people.

"There are people waiting for me. So let's finish this quickly." spoke Kahn.

His battle intent arose along with his chaotic aura and one by one.. Dozens of aura swords similar to Lucifer in size and shape appeared above him.

The entire battlefield of one and a half kilometers felt a sudden rise in temperature and one by one.. The number of these swords kept increasing.

Gasp! Gasp!

Multiple gasps were heard from all the attackers and even the leader looked at Kahn in disbelief.

His bewildered expression even piqued Kahn's curiosity as he hadn't expected such a reaction.

"Impossible.. That's Saint Rank Swordsman's skill!" he shouted and even the two hundred fighters from the enemy side felt a shiver in their spine.

At this moment, Kahn spoke again in a bored expression.

"Oye.. Attack me already. I said I don't have time. And I'm missing out on my afternoon nap."

"Well.. Only 50 swords aren't even for so many people. How about you guys lend me your swords?" he spoke.

Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!

The sound of multiple swords such as normal swords, sabers, greatswords and giantswords clattering as if they were responding with some sort of force filled the battleground and soon, all the sword users felt the grip on their weapons. All of them then flew in the air regardless of the struggle by their masters and were suspended in the air.. Their blade pointing towards their masters the next second.

This was the first time Kahn used the Sword Battlemaster skill. His other SS Rank skill along with the Sword King skill that he gained after the skills from Volstov clan head and Arkham.

"What the.. Run!!" shouted the leader and ordered all his people to retreat. Nobody wanted to stay here and see if this man was strong enough to take out their group of two hundred. Even the mages had goosebumps on their bodies seeing the control over the mana and aura of this semi-saint rank fighter. He had already exceeded all of them together.

Even though they had an advantage over numbers, their best magicians were only beginner-level grandmasters. In front of this swordsman, none of it mattered.

Kahn quickly took out the epic rank Domain Artifact and activated it by pouring half of his mana into it.

Suddenly the entire battlefield was covered inside a black barrier and everything around them turned pitch black. Every single one of the enemies was now captured inside this isolated battlefield.

"Why are you running? Why are you running?!"

Spoke Kahn and launched more than hundreds of swords at the enemies. Half were his own while the rest were the ones he rented from the enemies.

Stab! Puchi! Pierce!

"Rhhh!"

"motherfucker!"

"run!"

One by one, the entire battlefield inside this domain was covered by his swords that spread around a kilometer and started killing the soldiers in black.

Forget defending, most of them couldn't see where the sword was coming from, every single one of them changed their direction from time to time and we're strong enough to pierce through their shields and barriers. And to make matters worse, all of them possessed different elements such as fire, water, wind and lightning.

Kahn's figure flickered and the next second, he appeared right in the middle of their mages who stood in a formation. He had used Shadow Strike to directly teleport behind one of the mages. Before they could even cast a barrier around themselves or their allies, Kahn used the War Dominance aura again. His swift slashes and swings with water aura blade skill cut through armors and bodies of their mage squad. These blades cut through everything that came in a 100-meter radius.

He was currently using Arkham's sword skill and used them to break the enemy's line of protection. Since he couldn't use the dark magic and darkness element skills in front of the young Vampire, he only showed his swordsmanship skills.

In just 20 seconds, Kahn killed the mage squad and then moved to the leader next who was fighting and defending against his aura swords.

The red wolfkin saw Kahn coming towards him and howled in anger.

"Fight me by yourself if you dare!" he raged but the next second, Kahn's eyes flickered yellow and the wolf leader of this enemy side was paralyzed on the spot.

"Shut up you no-name character. I'm not gonna waste ten paragraphs fighting you." said Kahn and disappeared from the fear-stricken leader's sight.

The wolfkin suddenly felt the world around him go upside down. No, it was actually his head that went upside down.

Besides the leader could even register where Kahn went, his head was detached from his body and fell on the ground. And just like that, Kahn killed a Peak Grandmaster Rank warrior in just 5 seconds. This fighter was comparable to Arkahm, someone who previously put him at death's door. But now, he could take an opponent this strong with his skills and abilities. And that too without using Hero of Darkness title or Berserk God Mode.

At this moment, even Kahn was surprised how easy it was for him to take out this opponent by only using 2 of his skills together.

One by one, all these people from the black-dressed army started falling on the ground.

Kahn was no longer someone who had to break a sweat while fighting these many people together. He was already comparable to a small army of a few hundred fighters himself.

In just 10 minutes, all the aura swords finished the two hundred enemies easily. Even the assassins who used invisibility skills weren't an exception because Kahn's Hunter Intent & Survival Instinct had already reached a different level. The Hunter Intent itself became an S Rank skill after his recent breakthrough.

Screams filled with pain and helpless cries for mercy filled inside the domain and all the enemies were massacred in a helpless struggle against this powerhouse.

Kahn walked towards the only surviving member inside the domain and spoke to the silver-haired Vampire boy who was shuddering in fear.

He stood in front of Szayel and asked..

"Now give me a good reason why I shouldn't kill you?"
