Hero of Darkness

Chapter 644: Aegis and Heracles

Inside a literal tornado, Blackwall firmly faced Rodan who had the high ground… the high altitude as they fought in the sky under the 3 kilometers wide battlefield that was now filled with high pressured windblades, spears, a variety of spells and now, the uprooted trees and plants from the ground had also entered the fray as the dark elf attacked the kronos general from all side periodically.

An unscrupulous expression appeared on Rodanʼs face as he saw his enemy struggling against the barrage of his powerful spells and attacks.

The tank warrior Blackwall was still moving in circles as he defended against turbid wind attacks that attacked him in no particular order. So the dark elf was elated as he felt a sense of superiority in his mind.

But unbeknownst to the wind magician saint… Blackwall was hatching different plans of his own after infusing Aegis and Heracles with his bloodline.

[Give me the details on Aegis and Heracles.] commanded Blackwall.

Aegis was a 2 meter large dark gray shield with a golden-brown head of a dragon at the top center region. It had an extremely sturdy and rugged body along with small spikes poking out of the borders that allowed it to not only protect the user but also be used to damage and attack the enemies when needed.

[Following are the effects and powers of the shield Aegis.

Gluttony :

Aegis shield now has the ability to absorb the damage received from attacks and spells and convert it into its own defense to reinforce itself.

In simple words… the shield will become unbreakable even against extremely strong attacks after a prolonged battle.

Royalguard :

Aegis shield has the ability to store the elemental attacks and naturally create resistance to that particular element with time. Means in front of a stronger opponent who also has elemental advantage… the user Blackwall will be able to bypass this disadvantage after defending against their attacks until Aegis is completely immune against that element.] reported the system.

[Now thatʼs more like it! As expected of my mentor.

This shield would turn out to be extremely useful in a prolonged battle or an open war against multiple enemies. Even someone stronger than me wonʼt be able to oppress me for long with Aegis in my hands.] he spoke inwardly and rejoiced after hearing the effects of his legendary rank shield made by Throk from the guardian dragonʼs horn.

But this wasnʼt the end of it all… soon, the system resounded in his head again as soon as he looked at the massive battleaxe in his right hand.

Heracles was also a dark gray colored massive 2 and a half meter tall battleaxe. But after getting infused with Blackwallʼs titan bloodline, the intrinsic patterns on the battleaxe also turned golden brown like the Atlas armor.

Now, it gave an oppressive aura of authority and dominance. Just the aura alone was dreadful enough to strike fear in the hearts of his enemies.

[Following are the effects of the battleaxe Heracles :

The Twelve Labors :

Heracles has the ability to not only attack at great strength by doubling the damage based on the original strength of the user… but it will accumulate general Blackwallʼs earth elemental aura on the places it has attacked.

If attacked on an enemy, it will inflict their body with a debuff that will slow down their physical movement.

If the hits have landed too many times, it will trigger an effect that will leave the enemies stunned and paralyzed for some time.] informed system.

This effect suffered from Heracles would make Blackwallʼs enemies unable to move and paralyzed. During that period, the enemies will be no different than defenseless babies, easy to kill like cutting grass.

For the next 30 minutes, Blackwall only defended and acted like he was suffering a great deal of damage and lost a lot of stamina. In reality, he was letting Aegis build up complete immunity against the wind element because this immunity would be forever stored in Aegis and would stay as part of its characteristics even in future. Thus, he was using this chance to save time.

And finally after he was done, Blackwall decided that it was time to make the move.

At this point, Rodan had depleted 80% of his mana and world energy by constantly attacking Blackwall using his skills. And also this typhoon skill of his was active since the very beginning of this battle which also played a big part in it.

This whole fight was actually good training for Blackwall who was undefeated in defense but lacked range in attacking long-distance enemies so Rodan was the best candidate for Blackwall to create some battle tactics. And now, the abyss knight general finally revealed his hand.

Finally as his world energy was coming to end, Rodan realized that outside of the typhoon he summoned… were hundreds of massive spears made of stones, boulders and ground soil. Meanwhile, the whole battlefield itself was encompassed under a sandstorm.

Rodan was left speechless because he never noticed that he was actually jailed inside Blackwallʼs own cage.

All this time, the general wasnʼt just defending by carefully creating this domain using his Terrain Manipulation skill that allowed him to control all earth elemental objects in the world using telekinesis.

This was the Mountain Titanʼs exclusive ability which he got after merging with it.

During the battle, the maelstrom of wind elemental blades and spells had also destroyed the ground below and brought in a lot of stones, sand and soil as Rodan was bombarding Blackwall with his spells.

But without even realizing, Blackwall was secretly manipulating these very objects and carefully controlling them, waiting for the moment when Rodan lost most of his mana and world energy reserves.

However, Rodan was also an experienced mage so he quickly summoned another windstorm and decided to use it to create an exit and escape this cage.

But when he tried to create wind spells… something unexpected happened and he quickly analyzed the root cause.

Blackwall was using the sand in the air and ordered them to rotate in the opposite direction of the wind spells and attacks the dark elf created, instantly breaking their momentum and making Rodan unable to properly cast the skills.

In simple words, Blackwall rendered Rodan useless by letting him think that he was besting the opponent without even sensing the fact that he was providing the tank enemy with a weapon using his own spells and techniques.

However, now that he couldnʼt even use his spells and ran out of his mana and world energy… he was as defenseless as one could be.

Stab!

Stab!

Without even being unable to sense the incoming attacks in this sandstorm, Rodan was pierced by a stone spear in his right shoulder and left thigh from behind.

”Ahhh!!” he wailed in agony.

But the next moment, Blackwall quickly appeared in front of him and swung Heracles, quickly cutting off his left arm.

”Arrgghhhhh!!” he screamed in excruciating pain.

But before he could recover from the pain, Blackwall unsummoned Heracles and picked up Aegis with both hands.

”No! Please let me go!” he made a final plea…

BANG!!

Without thinking for a second, Blackwall started bashing the elfʼs head until blood spurted like a fountain and his skull was crushed while brain matter splattered in the air.

Blackwall didnʼt have any victorious feeling at the moment because although the battle took some time… he had to stand on his guard and only made a few moves before he mercilessly killed the 1st stage saint magician.

Blackwall looked towards Rodanʼs falling body in the air and spoke in a discontent voice…

”And here I was… looking for a real challenge.”
