Hero of Darkness Chapter 808 Old Acquaintance

Chapter 808 Old Acquaintance

As soon as Kahn and Vildred departed from the Zivot Empire, a powerhouse of Vantrea who also happened to be searching for him detected his whereabouts.

Inside the Belmont Kingdom… Argos Belmont, one of the four 9th stage saints in the world who was also t.i.tled as the Revenant Sovereign finally located Kahn.

"This kid… is he fleeing the elven empire?

What kind of trouble did he cause this time?

I hope it's nothing like what he did in the Rakos and Vulcan empires." spoke Argos in a deep and rustic voice.

At this moment, he had several artifacts placed inside a large magic formation with him in the center.

These were some of the tools he was using to track Kahn.

"But why did he kill the Hero's Party members this time?

From what the emperor of the Vulcan empire told me and how Kahn operated inside Rakos as per my findings… he isn't the kind to impulsively get into trouble.

So it's still not clear why he ambushed Hero of Life." he said with a solemn voice.

"But thanks to that news… I was able to locate him Zivot Empire in nick of time.

At least those people haven't found him yet." he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Given the direction… he's heading to that empire huh.

Well… luckily I have an old acquaintance there. It's about time I contacted him again." he revealed a charming smile.

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

One hour later, a dark fog appeared in one of the sealed chambers of his vast black castle and Argos emerged out of it.

Inside this dark chamber, a peculiar scene came into his sight.

Cling!

Clang!

Clatter!

In the air, hundreds of large shards of gla.s.s were suspended freely while revealing flashes of bright light incessantly.

The refractive property of these shards made them look like a diamond.

Argos then started chanting a spell in an indescribable dialect and soon, all these floating shards started moving in an orderly manner.

"Activate Mirror of Fate!" commanded the vampire sovereign.

Soon, all the shards joined together and formed a 3 meter tall ma.s.sive mirror that glowed blue.

Argos ordered it to contact a particular individual and soon, at this very moment 130 thousand kilometers away, an intangible mirror appeared in front of a powerful saint.

The only noticeable thing about this mysterious person was covered in shadow and was 3 meters tall with a burly and ripped body.

He too was suddenly caught off guard but then saw Argos' figure through this mirror.

"Look what we have here…

It's been more than 50 years since you last contacted me, Argos." spoke this ma.s.sive humanoid being who exuded a tyrannical aura.

"I need your help with something." replied Argos without standing on the ceremony or beating around the bush.

"What kind of help?" asked this mysterious figure with an alarmed tone.

"I need you to take in someone and protect him for the upcoming few years." said Argos.

"Why? Normally, you wouldn't ask anyone for a favor. It's usually the other way around." responded this being.

"You will soon hear this from your Empress as well so think of it as hearing beforehand.

The war with the Demon Empire just took a crucial turn." said Argos in a grim voice.

"What happened?"

"The Demon Emperor… he has become an 8th stage saint." replied Argos with a hateful expression.

"What?! Are you sure?!" clamored the tall figure veiled in shadows.

"Yes. He was already a big headache even as 7th stage saint.

Now… all 4 sovereigns are forced to step in since the 12 Rakshasas were already at 6th stage saint level.

With the Demon Emperor ranking up, the power balance in Vantrea has shifted greatly.

Hence, I'm also going to be occupied for quite some time." he iterated with a helpless expression.

"And what about the Demon G.o.d?" queried the mysterious figure.

"No idea. But he has entered seclusion.

We believe he will reappear only after becoming a 9th stage saint." spoke Argos with a gloomy countenance.

"Dammit! Everything is going wrong all at once!

You should've listened to me, Argos. You should've married our Empress when she made that offer to you.

You could've had our entire empire at your disposal to fight in the war." the figure sternly iterated, showing a look of disappointment.

Argos on the other end revealed a constricted face.

"I have no intentions to marry that eccentric psycho you call the Empress."

"But now… this is getting out of hand. Soon, all the empires will have no choice but to act." spoke the figure hidden under shadows.

"Yes.

That's why I want you to take in this person and also train him in the meantime till the Conclave of Heroes." commended Argos.

"Wait? Why till the Conclave of Heroes?

Who is this person exactly?" queried the tall figure.

Argos replied with traces of guilt on his face as he revealed the ident.i.ty of the said person.

"The new Hero of Darkness."

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

SILENCE.

A total uninterrupted silence ensued as the other side was left bamboozled and speechless.

"What the h.e.l.l?!

Are you out of your mind?!" bellowed the mysterious being in rage.

"Why the h.e.l.l would I do that? Do you think I'll take him just because you asked nicely, you brat?!" he berated the vampire king.

"Hey hey! Don't forget that I'm still a 9th stage you know. You should mind your tone with me." spoke Argos in a sly tone.

"So what?! You want me to destroy everything I've built up in this empire for the past 280 years just because you asked me?

Do I look like a pushover to you?!" he rebuked in a furious voice.

"Don't make me do this.

Otherwise, I will be forced to tell everyone about your real ident.i.ty.

And given your position in that empire… no one will leave you out of hook till the day you die." spoke the revenant sovereign.

"Even your Empress wouldn't think twice before killing you since you were once…" Argos spoke and revealed key information about the mysterious being he was talking to.

"A member of the 8th Hero of Darkness' party."
