Hero of Darkness

Chapter 74: The Truth

Kahn stood in front of the group fearlessly as his chaotic black and red aura exuded out of his body. The grass on the ground quivered and started shaking under his extremely dense and heavy pressure.

”You.. Is this your doing? This army of monsters..” asked the man in the center, completely bewildered and shaken to the core as the fear toxin started showing him hallucinations in which an army of hundreds of horrifying and deadly gigantic monsters were now hunting their group.

Thwack!

”Are you the guildmaster?” asked Kahn as he killed another Swordsman who charged at him from behind but got stabbed in the throat by the extensions.

”You.. What kind of monster are you?!” shivered the middle-aged man in the center. He still hadnʼt digested the fact that they were suddenly attacked out of nowhere just as their group had finally finished off the small orc settlement. Before they could even breathe properly, another group of enemies started killing them.

And the man standing in front of them suddenly felt like a walking talking monster himself.

Kahnʼs extension made him look like some primordial monster that knew how to take the shape of humans. And under this hallucinogenic toxin gas, his figure looked 10 meters tall and kept increasing as the time passed.

”Answer me!” shouted Kahn as his wrathful gaze sweeped over the group who were barely holding their weapons at this point.

”Itʼs him!” screamed a man under fear and pointed his hand at a middle-aged man fully clad in golden armor and held a rare rank Warhammer as his weapon.

”Get away from me, you monster!” shouted the man.

Kahnʼs eyes landed on the man and his eyes flickered with a yellow spark.

The man fell on the ground, his body paralyzed on the spot after Kahn used Executionerʼs Gaze.

”Now which one of you tortured the redhead girl?” he asked in a commanding tone.

”Ahhhhggg!”

”Save me!!”

”Get away!”

The wails and screams continued in the back as Kahnʼs subordinates were killing off the adventurers one by one who were already in complete disarray and no longer had any type of defensive formation or coordination in attacks.

”Itʼs him!” a female elven mage who also stood among this group pointed her fingers at a skinny man who was dressed in the assassinʼs clothes.

Under this fearful state.. Not a single one of them could think straight and easily gave under Kahnʼs pressure. With his current strength, he wonʼt have any problems killing at least 30 people by himself.

As for why he wasnʼt sparing any of these people who came to raid here.. Because he knew that all these guild members were the top guys and the main backbone of their guild. Unlike the people who Kahn saw in their headquarters who were nothing but small fries and possibly didnʼt know anything regarding this case, these people certainly had heard of it or played a part in it.

So there was no need to show any kindness to this group. Besides, they all had seen his army.. So they had to be silenced.

Kahnʼs extensions quickly pierced the skinny Assassin in his thighs and the other one picked the guildmaster.

THUD!

Just then, a giant figure of a Lycan dropped behind the remaining people and clutched its razor-sharp claws on the heads of the people in command.

Omegaʼs jaw then ripped open the head of a man in the middle of this group while Kahn ignored the bloodied slaughter.

He picked up the two men and walked away from the battlefield.

”Why? Why did you kill that woman?” asked Kahn to the man in golden armor.

”You mean that redhead bitch?.. Because she wouldnʼt talk!” replied the man as he finally regained control of his body. Kahn had already taken them out of the toxin fog so the effects had started waning.

”I thought she was in love with the guy who stole my elder brotherʼs ring. So I had this guy torture her, thinking itʼd be enough. But even till her last breath, that slut never uttered your name!” said the guildmaster as he got up on his feet again and clutched his hands on the Warhammer.

Kahn stared at the leader of this group with a lifeless expression. As if he was looking at a dead man.

”That doesnʼt explain why you lot had to kill her.” he asked.

”Because the news was already leaked in our circle and other guilds. If we didnʼt make an example of whoever dared to steal our belongings.. Weʼd be turned into a joke.” said the guildmaster as he charged and swung his hammer at Kahn.

Kahn quickly sidestepped and effortlessly dodged the attack. His opponent already had a weakened state and dull senses, the effect of the toxin wasnʼt going to be nullified this soon.

”Then who gave up my name?” asked Kahn as he kept dodging the manʼs attacks without a hitch.

”It was the Black Griffin merchant enterprise president, Nikola Gretvor. Some of our men found our previously salvaged goods and weapons being sold in his shops. And when we threatened to kill him and burn down his shops.. He gladly told us your name. He even returned everything that belonged to us. As for the girl.. We simply wanted to use her body to send you a message.” explained the guildmaster as he faltered in his steps, barely managing his footing.

Kahn also noticed that the enemies were awfully cooperative and answered without holding back. Normally, nobody complies with their enemyʼs instructions.

[Is this the effect of the fear toxin?] asked Kahn to himself and his image flickered. He quickly grabbed the Warhammer from the manʼs hands and kicked him in the stomach, sending his body flying towards the kneeling assassin who was shivering in fear and struggled to get Kahnʼs extension out of his thigh.

Kahn walked towards these two men as he heard agonizing and pleading screams from behind his back where the enemies were being massacred by his subordinates.

He squatted down in front of them and took two rare rank daggers out of his space ring and spoke in a vengeful tone.

”Now, letʼs start your torture session.”
