Hero of Darkness

Chapter 310: The Challenge

As soon as Kahn charged through the opening he created… more likely he was led to believe that he created, Kassandra gave a light smirk in response.

Survival Instinct blessing quickly alarmed Kahn that he was in grave danger!

Shing!

But before Kahn could even use quicksilver and get out, an orchid-colored barrier suddenly appeared out of nowhere and encapsulated the 100 meter area around Kahn.

Kassandra who was standing nearly 200 meters away from Kahn then moved her hands as if casting some sort of spell.

Suddenly, his body felt heavy as if all of the strength he had was getting suppressed greatly.

”This.. This is a restriction barrier!” exclaimed Kahn in surprise.

This was the exact experience he had before when Solomon and Arkham tried to kill him.

But unlike the prior event, the restriction barrier lowered all of his physical stats to 60% of the original strength.

[What the hell! Isnʼt she a summoner? Since when can they cast a magic barrier? And she isnʼt even using an artifact for it..] wondered Kahn with a shocked expression.

Crackle! Crackle!

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Before he could give it too much thought, both the giant lightning and fire lances attacked Kahn with a quick stab towards his location.

BOOM!

Another big explosion shook the battlefield and shattered the 50 meter radius battleground and sonic booms filled the arena.

Shing!

60 meters high in the air, a bright blue and archaic magical formation suddenly formed above Kahn who barely survived against the lightning and the fire lance attack.

[What the bloody hell..] cursed Kahn as he was already greatly suppressed and now.. Kassandra had cast a 100 meter wide lightning elemental magic formation.

This was an Enchanterʼs skill as far as magic-related professions were concerned in this world.

Multiple thundering noises filled the arena and Survival Instinct alerted Kahnʼs mind as if an extremely dangerous attack was coming his way.

[Dude.. This is simply cheating!] he exclaimed and tried to run out of the restriction barrier.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Dozens of lightning strikes from the archaic pentagram-shaped magic formation landed on the ground and Kahn, the main target was caught into the fray.

Even with his quicksilver skill, he barely managed to escape 4 strikes that shattered the 20 meters of space in an instant.

While avoiding the strikes, his gaze landed on Kassandra. The sorceress looked at Kahn and waved her right hand as if bidding him a farewell with a grin on her face.

[This bitch!] he cursed and sidestepped left and avoided a blinding lightning strike.

As if this wasnʼt enough.. Kassandra started casting another magic formation just above the one that was currently attacking Kahn.

Swoosh!

Bang!

Kahn avoided the light and water elemental arrows shot at him just in a nick of time that were aimed at his path to getting outside of this restriction barrier.

Bang!

Kahnʼs aura blades finally broke through the defensive shield conjured by Kassandra and flew towards their master.

In just a single collected attack, both the giant lances were pushed backwards.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a chilling breeze passed by Kahnʼs body and for the first time during this competition.. Kahn felt shivers in his spine.

[Ah, fuck!] cursed Kahn as he saw the lightning elemental magic formation disappear…

But the new formation just above it was suddenly activated.

Not just Kahn but even the millions of audience suddenly felt chills on their body.

BOOM!!

A loud colliding voice filled the battle arena and right in front of the whole empire watching this match..

Kassandra summoned a gigantic goddamn iceberg!

[Son of a…] before he could complete the words.. The 100 meter wide iceberg descended upon him.

Bang!

A loud explosion banging noise filled the arena. And before Kahn had any chance, Kassandra buried him under the cold and frozen ice.

[Master!!] exclaimed all the subordinates who were hidden among the audience.

Because in front of them, their master was completely overwhelmed while facing this woman.

It hadnʼt even been 10 minutes since the battle started for real and Kassandra was legitimately whooping Kahnʼs ass in front of the whole empire.

Without his cheat abilities such as Executionerʼs Gaze, Hero of Darkness title, Asura Mode, Berserk God Mode as well as darkness elemental skills such as Dark Lightning Strike skill and Void Realm spell..

Kahn was getting thrashed around by Kassandra as if they werenʼt even in the same league.

Forget fighting on even terms… Kahn couldnʼt even come close to this woman.

And she herself was a living hack who was using the skills and spells of three different professions like it was as easy as breathing for her.

At this moment, Kahnʼs aura greatswords hovering in the air also stopped moving and everyone watching this match thought that he was done for.

”Oh my.. Stop playing around, would you? This isnʼt any fun.” spoke Kassandra with a bored expression.

As if not being satisfied with the ongoing battle.. She yawned and kept looking towards the ginormous iceberg that buried her swordsman opponent in the ground.

Suddenly, a deep and grim voice resounded on the battlefield.

”Hey, tell me.. Arenʼt you just a Summoner? How can you cast magic formations like an Enchanter? And that restriction barrier can only be used by a Magician.” asked a man with a deathly tone.

Because from what was seen in Kassandraʼs match with Celine Armitage, who was a semi-saint herself.. She had only used the skills of a Summoner till this point in this competition and it was a no different case in her previous fight either.

”Defeat me and Iʼll tell you my secret.” said Kassandra as she winked at the iceberg as if she could see the man underneath.

Like Kahn previously teased with the marriage proposal and embarrassed her.. This time, it was Kassandra toying around with Kahn.

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!

A loud and ground-shattering explosion happened that sent tremors in the entire arena. The restriction barrier broke just from the shockwaves alone.

The broken ice and snow were thrown off and spread around the battlefield as the once frozen place that the iceberg occupied before was completely turned into a burning crevice.

GROWL!!!

A deathly growl resounded from the center of this blistering fire as if something was emerging from the pits of hell.

Thud! Thud!

A demonic figure who was literally on fire walked out, baffling all of the audience as his loud footsteps resounded in the surroundings.

This being was none other than Kahn… in the Drakos Armor.
