Hero of Darkness Chapter 464: Exploiting Weakness

Chapter 464: Exploiting Weakness

When finding a counterattack against this spirit creature that single-handedly put four legendary rank creatures in a pitiful state; seemed like an impossible task.

Ceril, who was swatted a kilometer away by the Vilgax not long ago, suddenly noticed an anomaly.

[Master… I think I found its weakness.]

He relayed his message to Kahn.

"What?! Where?" asked Kahn in a hurry while the other generals were barely managing to protect themselves.

[The place this monster pushed me off to… it has a ma.s.sive rune only used in sealing formations.

Although I haven't excelled in mastering magic formations other than the ones I needed… Given the size of this rune engraved inside a peak, it's at least a legendary rank formation.] he said.

"What kind of nonsense is this?" asked Kahn with a baffled expression.

[I sense a flux of world energy being emitted from this rune. And I think there should be 9 more of these runes spread in a 50 kilometers radius.

On top of it… I think it's not only sealing this creature inside this place to guard the entrance of the second layer; but also protecting it at the same time.

Maybe that's why we are unable to physically hurt it.] hypothesized Ceril.

Kahn, who hadn't even had the chance to complete his study as a magician and only was an intermediate rank mage himself… had no idea about how the magic formations worked.

But given the situation, they had no time to think about these things.

[Do you think it will at least stop this guy?] he asked Ceril.

[Yes. But we need to be quick before it notices the changes in the surrounding.] replied Ceril.

[Oliver!] ordered Kahn.

[On it!] replied the tempest archer general and used Horus Eye to check the places in the surrounding 20 kilometers radius with a high influx of world energy.

[Found one! I'll get rid of it.] he said and like a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier, he flew in the direction of the rune.

The first place he found was a small pond where the rune was engaged in the bottom.

Oliver quickly activated his Arrowstorm skill and created 500 arrows, each one of which was 10 meters in length and possessed different elements.

BOOM!!

BANG!!

He launched a barrage of attacks and in just a couple of minutes… the entire pond was destroyed and as the water spread away, Oliver saw a 50 meters wide disc-shaped stone slab that had a ma.s.sive glowing rune.

Without giving a second thought, Oliver used a wind elemental arrow and attacked the rune.

BANG!

Crack!

As the rune broke, a ma.s.sive surge of world energy was expelled out of the stone slab.

However, Vilgax was so busy thrashing his opponent that he didn't notice this influx that happened 10 kilometers away.

Soon, Oliver flew at supersonic speed and started looking for these buried runes that were either placed inside an open field or a mountain itself.

Neither Kahn nor his generals knew who created this magic formation and sealed Vilgax inside it.

Whether it was to trap it or force it to become the guardian of the entrance to the 2nd layer of the barrier which led to the forbidden zone… they had no idea.

But if they wanted to advance… there was no other way around it.

Meanwhile, the battle continued while Oliver turned into his Thunderbird form. He searched and destroyed all the locations of the formation runes one by one while the other generals endured getting beaten by Vilgax since none of their attacks could hurt it.

30 minutes later…

[I'm done. Get rid of the final one.] messaged Oliver and Ceril, who found the first rune but hadn't done anything to it till now to avoid alarming this enemy finally let out a sinister laugh.

"Hahaha!!" laughed Ceril and retracted his steps to the place where he found the rune.

Swoosh!

He used the Scythe of the Reaper weapon skill and destroyed the rune in a single strike.

BOOM!!

After the ma.s.sive burst of world energy was let out from the rune… Vilgax, who was moving as fast as a rabbit despite his ma.s.sive size, finally felt something was amiss.

In front of everyone's sight… hundreds of archaic runes appeared on its enormous that was a hundred meters in height alone.

Crack!

Crack!

Shatter!

And as if some sort of invisible chain that tied him to this place were finally broken… all those runes glowed brightly and shattered as shockwaves after shockwaves filled the surrounding one kilometer region.

[Finally! I am free!!] exclaimed Vilgax joy.

An incorporeal barrier suddenly appeared around its body and disappeared the next moment.

[Ha aha ha!! Ha ha ha!

Now I can finally leave this wretched place!

I haven't feasted for over a decade. I can finally have some proper meal.] it thought but the voice still reached inside Kahn and all the generals.

[Hey you! Why didn't you say you were sealed here?] shouted Kahn who was 4 kilometers away but his thoughts were heard by Vilgax.

[We're the ones who freed you in the end.] continued Kahn.

[Ah, my bad… this isn't the first time someone tried to attack me because I was sealed inside here. So I presumed you were the same as those who came here every decade.] replied Vilgax in a causal tone now that it was free.

[Alright then. But can you tell me where the entrance to that 2nd barrier is?] asked Kahn.

[Sure. Take the path among these mountains. Then take a right, then a left, then right again.. And then another left.

There will be a waterfall.

From there… take a left, then a right, and take one more right…]

Vilgax then nonchalantly started giving Kahn the directions like how Indian people explained paths to travelers.

[Alright. Thanks.] replied Kahn.

[Good luck. I'll be on my way.] replied Vilgax gleefully and started crawling away as if nothing happened in the first place.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Five ma.s.sive bursts of auras filled the three kilometers region.

"Where do you think you're going?" Jugram's grim and terrifying voice resounded.

Crack! Crack!

Blackwall cracked his knuckles while Ceril charged his Scythe with dark magic.

SCREECH!

Armin created a spear made of giant roots while Oliver screeched high in the air.

At this moment… all of them looked at Vilgax who was enjoying beating them up not too long ago. So naturally… they had a score to settle.

Shiver!

A chill ran under Vilgax's spine as an ominous feeling struck him.

Because at this moment, his condition was no different than…

A blonde girl sitting on a sofa surrounded by five black guys.
