Hero of Darkness Chapter 126: The Rumble

Chapter 126: The Rumble

Kahn's response even surprised the middle-aged elf as he did not expect the young man in front of him to be so daring to refuse the final offer.

"So you've chosen death!" spoke Solomon loudly as he released his mighty aura of Semi-Saint Rank fighter. He was the 2nd most strongest person in the entire Flavot city yet the man did not even flinch before insulting him.

Kahn who was standing 50 meters away wasn't even fazed by the immensely terrifying aura. Just as soon as the sun disappeared and the night finally fell. Kahn regained his strength and was now one and half times stronger and powerful.

If he were to fight Arkham in his current state, the peak grandmaster rank swordsman wouldn't even stand a chance against him. Although this restriction formation had suppressed him greatly and his stats were reduced by 70%, the Hero of Darkness t.i.tle gave him a 300% increase in strength and 200% in magic spells & mana.

With many of his pa.s.sive attack buff skills, he managed to get 1.5 times stronger. This was enough for him to at least fight against the elven mage on even grounds.

"Don't act like you were going to spare me if I gave you the core. Why would you spare me if you wouldn't even spare Arkham." spoke Kahn as he readied himself to fight against the enemy and released War Dominance at full power.

Boom!

A chaotic and deathly black and red aura released from his body and the sonic booms filled the surrounding battlefield. Kahn unequipped the Drakos Armor and only his torn-up black longcoat that was shredded at this point dropped in the ground.

"You.. How did you recover your strength? My formation is still active." asked Solomon in a puzzled tone.

"You're awfully talkative. Is it because you think you can easily kill me?" asked back Kahn.

Darkblade!

He launched his 50 meters range attacks and used the 12 Darkness swords suspending in the air to attack the elf from various fronts.

Snap!

The elven mage only snapped his fingers and a bright white barrier came in between him and these swords. But this time, Kahn's darkness swords weren't reflected but actually pierced through the barrier.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

One by one, his swords started piercing through the barrier and Kahn jumped up in the air.

Solomon who saw him somersaulting in the air cast a fire spell and shot it at the incoming a.s.sailant.

Bang!

Before the fire spell could even hit Kahn, his darkness barrier covered him and completely negated the damage received from this spell.

Kahn slashed his black sword with crimson flames on it against the white barrier.

Crack!

The barrier instantly shattered into two and disappeared.

Swoosh!

Kahn quickly used side hopper and instantly appeared in front of the mage and swung his sword at the elf.

Bang!

A yellow barrier suddenly came into existence and exploded as Kahn's sword nearly came a meter close to the elf.

"If you think this is enough to kill me.. Then let me show the difference between a Semi-Saint rank mage and just a normal peak grandmaster."

Spoke Solomon and the ground around him shook as a highly condensed mana completely covered the mage.

The next second, the figure of this elven mage started levitating and rose up 15 meters in the air. This was the elven mage using his full power and an unimaginable pressure filled the surroundings, even Kahn felt a sense of danger.

So far, Solomon hadn't even used half of his strength and was only toying around with Kahn ever since the battle began in the first place.

"Let me tell you about the difference between you and me. It's like the story of the monkey trying to capture the moon. However close he thinks he is to the moon, it's still just the reflection of the moon in the middle of the lake. No matter how he struggles to capture that "moon", he inevitably sinks to the bottom of that lake to no avail. You will never reach me."

Declared Solomon and 4 different elemental orbs around him came into existence. Fire, Water, Light and Wind elements coalesced in the air and the size of these orbs started becoming bigger.

The mana that came from Solomon's body started compressing these orbs and the pressure that came from them gave Kahn a sense of dread and danger. His body flickered and appeared 50 meters away.

Shrill! Crackle! Chitter! Howl!

The intense elemental aura from these giant orbs was so terrifying that even Kahn who was currently covered in his Somir scales felt like he won't survive if these elemental orbs. .h.i.t him.

"The simple difference between you and me.. is the difference between skills!" declared Solomon as if he was a Deity looking down on a normal and weak mortal.

Boom!! Boom!!

Solomon started directing his hands towards Kahn's position and one by one, these giant orbs that were growing in size started throwing multiple small orbs of these elemental energies and destroyed the ground, trees and boulders.

Each of these small orbs blew up 10 meters of s.p.a.ce wherever they landed. The fire spells burned everything they touched, the water spells changed their shapes into spears and blades as if they had a free will of their own, the wind attacks cut everything in the surroundings and the light elemental beams simply obliterated everything that came in their way.

[f.u.c.k! f.u.c.k! f.u.c.k!] cursed Kahn as he ran away from one direction to another like a deer who was being chased by multiple cheetahs.

His footsteps didn't stop for a second before his figure flickered from place to place. And wherever he pa.s.sed from would be bombarded by these spells and get destroyed in the process.

But he came to a realization very quickly how Solomon was in a completely different league than himself.

Because the elven mage had the advantage in the attack range, he had various magical and elemental spells. And there was also the plethora of barriers and artifacts the mage had on his hands that protected his life.

And on top of it all, Solomon had the high ground!

Even if Kahn leaped into the air and aimed to kill the flying mage, he'd also expose himself to a mid-air attack.

Kahn used shadow walk and appeared from the eleven mage's sight and sprinted towards the edge of the formation. Only then he'd be able to stand a fighting chance against this guy.

In just a few seconds, Kahn had run half a mile away with his full speed as he aimed to get out the restriction formation. Because he had indeed underestimated the elven mage, thinking that with the boost in his stats; he'd be able to fight the semi-saint rank opponent as an equal. But the reality brought him out of his delusions very quickly.

Since Solomon was alone and lacked speed like Kahn, he won't be able to cover all fronts and the defender had a chance to escape.

But just as he was about 100 meters close to the exterior of this barrier and charged his Dark Lighting Strike to hit the dome, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him in the air and looked down at Kahn with a mocking expression.

Solomon who was a kilometer behind Kahn suddenly appeared in the air above him.

Kahn who read enough information about teleportation scrolls and s.p.a.ce magic during his little break for a week after killing the dungeon boss found it odd because the Elven mage was neither using a scroll nor an artifact.

"Oh, if you think you can run away from me.. Let me tell you a little secret." spoke Solomon as he grinned at Kahn.

"I have spent more than a century studying and becoming good at using one of the rarest laws of reality in this world.. The s.p.a.ce Law." declared the elf and gave a smug expression at the Kahn was finally thought he could escape out of this formation.

The next moment, before Kahn could even comprehend the meaning behind the middle-aged Elf's revelation, Solomon appeared 25 meters in front of him and threw all the elemental spells at Kahn.

The spells were so fast that he didn't even get time to react or dodge.

Boom!!!

The ground shattered as Kahn's body was struck by these destructive and ear-deafening spells. His entire body was thrown 200 meters away and collided against the trees and boulders in the way.

Thud!

Bang!

Crack!

Trees after trees and boulders after boulders broke as his body struck and collided against them. Kahn ricocheted from time to time and finally cracked open the ground he landed on.

"Argh..!"

Cough! Cough!

Kahn coughed up a mouthful of blood and his body was riddled with wounds.

His Somir scales barely managed to protect him against the onslaught and he used Lucifer to protect his face and head at the last moment.

One by one.. All the scales dropped on the ground as he got up. His scarred and bleeding torso was revealed and the scales barely managed to protect his vital points.

Solomon was on par with the Magma Drake dungeon boss already. And with the variety of highly terrifying and destructive elemental attacks, along with the s.p.a.ce law he was proficient at; he surpa.s.sed Kahn in every single aspect let it be range, attack power or speed.

Kahn got up on his feet using the extension as his foundation and looked at the elf who had a villainous grin on his face.

[System, for how long can I use it in my current state?] he asked the system.

[Only 9 minutes] replied the system.

Kahn resolved himself to have a battle to the death in this moment. It was Do or Die situation for him now or else, he'd be buried in the ground.

[Do it!] he commanded and suddenly.. A loud screech was released from his body and suddenly.. His entire body underwent a transformation.

Before Solomon, now stood a monster that he had never seen in his life..

At this moment.. Kahn had finally used the special ability that could grant him the abilities of various species and monsters at the same time.

The Bloodline Merge!
