Hero of Darkness

Chapter 512 - Finally a Saint

In the deepest central part of the No Manʼs Land, the interjection point between three enemy empires… A breakthrough of a man destroyed 10 kilometers of the forested region as if a World Calamity was birthed at the center of this place.

In the middle of the sky, a man in a black and gray longcoat and attire that made him look like a prince of an empire steadily floated. And based on the density as well as overwhelming pressure exuded from his body, the man was a being that entered the realm of the strongest creatures in the world.

Kahn, who was now able to fly in the air had a content expression on his face after finally becoming a First Stage Saint.

For the past 1 month, he spent all the time inside the Tablet of Arcana that he gained access to from Rathnaar.

Inside the pocket dimension, he spent 1 million SS Rank cores and used Ability Absorptionʼs new function to constantly raise his levels and absorb mana as well as the body of the Guardian Dragon which was rich with world energy in both the physical body and the core.

After properly following Rathnaarʼs instructions and with the aid of the Chamber of Exaltation, which had the function of compressing both mana and world energy… and stably condensed them inside his body; he finally made the breakthrough to the new rank.

Although he spent twice the amount of resources and absorbed a lot of mana and world energy… he still saved over a decadeʼs worth of time that would be needed even for a 6th stage saint magician.

Just a month inside here was more than enough for a major breakthrough and all one had to do was provide the resources and raw materials to convert and compress the mana as well as world energy.

Only then did he realize that Tablet of Arcana and Chamber of Exaltation were indeed worth waging a war for and no wonder the three noble factions would even sacrifice their heirs and representatives to get it.

But without Rathnaarʼs knowledge, Kahn knew that no one would be even able to activate the functions of the mechanisms set inside or know how to absorb that energy.

”System, give me a report. Let me see if waiting for 3 arcs was worth it or not.” commanded Kahn.

Due to War Deity Body blessing which was at Stage 4, the Hostʼs physique has become two times stronger compared to a normal first stage saint.

The system detects that a high amount of concentrated mana and world energy reserves have been embedded in the hostʼs body. As a result, the hostʼs physique is now stronger and capable of conducting mana and world energy by twice the normal expected amount.

All these additional stats and effects have been stacked.

The hostʼs current body is 5 times stronger than a normal first stage saint.

The host is now comparable to a legitimate 2nd Stage Saint both physically and in terms of mana and world energy reserves.

NOTE : System will be undergoing an upgrade as well to provide more accurate data based on the new physiology of the host.

The system shall be inaccessible to the host for the next 10 days.] reported the system and gave Kahn the much-awaited report.

”Fucking worth it!!” shouted Kahn and raised both his arms high in victory as an immensely exhilarated expression appeared on his face.

At this point… he wasnʼt even shocked or flabbergasted.

Because he expected these types of results after waiting for nearly 2 years and in due process… he had grown numb to it when everything was within expectations.

This was his strength at the base level. No buffs from any skills and extra ability effects were added.

And the system only reported the newly unlocked abilities and notable upgrades. The old ones he already had at SSS Rank would require a separate chapter by themselves.

And if Kahn used his various buff skills and abilities… he could even fight against a beginner-level 3rd stage saint at his peak when he was using Sword Emperor, Dragon Strike, Wrath of Vajra, Titan Transformation, Asura Mode, Spiritual Replica and Berserk God Mode.

He was now fully capable of fighting 2 ranks above him after receiving these incredible buffs in stats just because of the War Deity Body that finally showed its effects as soon as he became a saint.

And with the Chamber of Exaltation effect, he had physical capability as well as mana and world energy reserves twice than those of his rank.

Even among the other subordinates such as the generals and Rudra, he was stronger than all of them physically.

At this moment, only Omega was stronger than him. But Kahn possessed all the abilities the Hrodvitnir subordinate already had.

The only thing that made them all unique were the bloodline and the job-specific skills and abilities they gained on their own or due to the evolution.

[Didnʼt I tell you? That it will be worth the resources.

You may need double the resources compared to other chosen Heroes but with Chamber of Exaltation, you can still save decades of time and also become equal to someone who is one stage above you without even using any skills.

This was also one of the reasons why I even killed two Heroes at once while both of them were a stage higher than me.] spoke Rathnaar in Kahnʼs mind.

He had been strictly teaching Kahn about how to reap the maximum gains in the Chamber of Exaltation in the past 1 month.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

All the subordinates quickly appeared next to Kahn in the air.

In the past month, all of them were guarding the region as well as mastering world energy with Cerilʼs help. So now they all could fly in the air as well.

”Alright, letʼs leave before any of those empires find me.

The Gods must have sensed my breakthrough as well and alerted their churches.” said Kahn.

”To where?” asked Omega.

”To the Empire that serves the God of Fire.” spoke Kahn with an excited tone as he decided their next stop in the journey.

A new chapter of their lives…

”The Vulcan Empire.”
