Hero of Darkness
chapter-404

As the battle between the legendary rank bird monster Caladrius and Kahn's group continued, the aftermath of their clash shook the ground and thousands of flying ships alike. The burning trees and shattered ground in this 10 kilometer radius lit up the sky while the legendary beast kept sending typhoons after typhoons against their armies.

Kahn & Oliver were the closest people who were able to attack and break past the defenses of this ginormous creature while Blackwall actively taunted it so it didn't run away.

And after 30 minutes had passed, all the flying ships that previously hovered on the left side while forming a wall of the protective shield had finally cleared up a way under Kahn's orders.

Kahn then ordered the pilots to fly on the left and their warship departed towards the inner region of the border where this legendary rank beast actually came from.

Kahn kept attacking the Caladrius using the Sword King skill with hundreds of his aura greatswords from time to time. And with Oliver's perfect assist, they enraged the ginormous monster while the warship and the flying general flew across the sky at high speed.

Soon, just as Kahn initially planned, they reached 200 kilometers far in the forested and mountainous terrain while dodging and successfully keeping this enemy only 3 kilometers high in the air.

And whenever it got out of Blackwall's 3 kilometer radius taunt skill range, the magic cannons from the warship and Oliver who flew even higher kept shooting at it whenever it tried to run away.

And following this pattern, 3 hours passed and now they arrived nearly 400 kilometers in the inner region of this border. The farthest distance that was ever crossed by anyone here.

Beep!

Beep!

Just then, Kahn received a transmission.

"I've fully recovered. My ship is a few kilometers behind you.

Tell me what to do so I can be ready." said Kassandra through the communication artifact.

"Alright then. Here's what I need you to do…" spoke Kahn and elaborated his plan to Kassandra.

10 minutes later.

"All right everyone! I want you all to leave with the warship 20 kilometers in the west and wait for us there." ordered Kahn to his crew that managed and flew this massive warship that could carry 10 thousand soldiers at once.

As the warship descended and hovered a hundred meters close to the ground, Kahn and Blackwall jumped out of it.

After his signal, the warship left the forested region in a jiffy while the duo of Kahn and Blackwall holding their weapons now stood in open grassland.

BOOM!!

Both the fighters quickly released their full aura that was comparable to a semi-saint and made their presence known.

"Do you think it will work? I can transform and face it myself, master." spoke Blackwall with a questioning gaze.

"Don't get ahead of yourself. Your entire advantage is on the ground only. Even with all your defensive skills, you'll just be a target who can't even hit his enemy.

I and Oliver aren't strong enough to withstand its attacks ourselves either. So follow my plan and see how it unfolds." replied Kahn as he awaited the Caladrius to notice them.

Krrraaaa!!

The flying Caladrius finally noticed their auras filled with killing intent and spread its wide feathery wings that spanned around a kilometer in width alone.

Soon, strong gusts of wind amassed under the widespread wings and right before their eyes… 2 typhoons made if highly compressed windblades that could shred an army of thousands of soldiers easily, formed in a matter of seconds. Displaying that the opponent was indeed a tough enemy to fight on even grounds.

Kahn quickly activated Sword King while Blackwall used Terrain Manipulation to create a giant 20 meters wall in front of them.

BANG!

Crack!

Shatter!!

One by one, the typhoons that sucked in the tall grass and the large trees of this area approached towards their direction while Blackwall, who hid behind the stone wall cast the taunt skill again.

And after this open provocation, the ginormous bird descended 2 kilometers towards the ground and released its highly oppressive aura.

"The Caladrius has no physical attack skills. Only these wind elemental attacks. That's why it hasn't directly attacked us yet." spoke Kahn as he analyzed the situation.

The next second, he quickly activated War Dominance and threw off the pressure. He then spoke to the communication artifact.

"Now!!"

Shing!

SHRILL!!

Schwoo!!

Before the Caladrius even launched another attack at Blackwall… a two hundred meters wide red magical formation suddenly appeared above the ginormous figure of the legendary rank monster.

Suppression Formation!

This was exactly the suppression magic formation that Kassandra used against Kahn during their fight. And under this barrier, the target's physical strength and agility were reduced by 60% instantly. One of the reasons why Kassandra had thrashed Kahn during their battle in the Emperor's Chosen competition.

Caladrius who was enraged and focused solely on Blackwall till this point due to the taunt skill suddenly came out of the trance and finally noticed its surrounding.

But instead of giving it a chance to react; another blue magic formation formed above the previous one and suddenly, a chilling breeze leaked from this formation.

Crack! Crack!

Crackling noises filled the surroundings and before the weakened monster could even react or try to flee…

A gigantic iceberg suddenly dropped out of the formation!!

BOOM!!

The legendary rank monster was struck and wailed under the heavy iceberg that spanned for 100 meters in width and finally…

The flying monster fell on the ground for the first time since their battle started at military headquarters.

SHRILL!!

A loud shrill filled the devastated grassland and suddenly on the side of the right wing… a 250 meters long greatsword made of different elements came to be.

Dragon Strike!!

BOOM!!

A loud explosion resounded in the 5 kilometers radius as Kahn, who used Quicksilver skill and hid amongst the treelines after Blackwall created the stone wall suddenly decided to attack after Kassandra created the perfect opportunity for them..

After finally trapping the bird inside the cage… Kahn exited the dense treelines from the right side and spoke with an insidious grin.

"Time to eat some legendary chicken wings."
