Hero of Darkness

Chapter 722 Fish out of Water

Raiden, who had equipped the Twilight Armor gave an astute expression as he saw the 200-meter-long snake-like creature running for his life after sensing the formerʼs overbearing and horrifying aura.

But instead of rushing anything, he snickered under his black mask, his crimson red eyes in this form revealed a spark as if he had already caught the target.

He directed his left palm towards the sea monster that was descending deep at an extremely fast speed underwater.

”Gravity Extraction!” exclaimed Raiden and suddenly…

Burble!

Burble!

The wide and deep river suddenly parted into two as all the water was pulled in the sky, leaving only a wide bottom visible.

On top of it, no water from the river stream entered this place or left outside. Millions of gallons of water was lifted by Raiden in the sky as if it was as easy as breathing for him.

Unlike Kahn who had Gravity Law skills only in name… Omega was the actual successor of Skoll and Hati, the mythical rank wolf brothers who acquired the Gravity Law through their own skills and efforts.

Before their deaths, they had parted a fragment of their souls, carrying their knowledge and wisdom of the Gravity Law that Omega had absorbed in his mind.

Whenever Omega wasnʼt in action or had anything to do… instead of resting or wasting time, the Hrodvitnir subordinate trained himself in his swordsmanship skills and Gravity Law skills.

In the past year, his control and understanding of this law rose to a completely different level, something even Kahn could not achieve without receiving enlightenment or inherent talent.

And now, he was getting a chance to use the skills he was developing all this time in a battle for the first time.

HISSS!!

The six heads of Venialkarto hissed loudly, reacting to this phenomenon and started slithering as best as it could towards the other body of water. Only a few kilometers away, there was the estuary.

Once it reached that part, it could directly escape to the seas so deep that even someone like his powerful enemy wouldnʼt be able to capture it.

”Where do you think youʼre going?” asked Raiden in an amicable voice as if they were long-time friends.

MRRAAAA!!

SCREECH!!

HISSS!!

The monster let out several bellows and screeches but the following moment, its massive 50 meters tall body started ascending towards the sky as if some invisible force was lifting it high in the sky.

It moved its body rampantly and haphazardly but to no avail… as if a fish out of water, it couldnʼt do anything since it was an aquatic dungeon boss and not an aerial one.

The massive and maw-like mouths it had suddenly targeted the enemy in the sky, and as soon as they both reached the same altitude…

All the eyeless heads of Venialkarto spread wide and spewed a massive stream of yellowish-green venomous gas at Raiden, intending to rot and kill him on the spot with its most dangerous ability.

However… As soon as the latter was covered inside this enormous cloud of venomous gas…

Sizzle!

Crackle!

BOOM!!

A loud explosion resounded, sending sonicbooms in the surrounding area which shook all the trees and plant life over the borders of the river.

The massive cloud of gas was now replaced with nothing but a black and red fire that burned and engulfed the venomous gas from within.

In his hands, was Kojin burning with black and red Dragonfire.

The monster shuddered, gravely scared for its life and feeling helplessness at the same time.

”Gravity Imprisonment!” shouted Raiden and the next moment, the massive bodies of water dropped on the ground as the dual swordsman focused all of his Gravitational force on Venialkarto, making it freeze on the spot.

.

The Venialkarto started exerting all of its might but couldnʼt move in the slightest. The control of the gravitational force its opponent had was too strong.

Swoosh!!

Raiden appeared on the left of the massive monster and soon, he raised Kojin high in the air.

But this time, he joined both of his hands.

BOOM!!

A loud burst of dragonfire rose and right before the terrified Venialkarto… a massive 100 meter long katana made completely out of oppressive and destructive black and red dragonfire came to be.

The scorching heat was enough to hint at how lethal this weapon was.

All the heads of the sea monster were pulled to the front by gravitational force and Raiden made a decisive strike.

”Katon Surrashu!!”

Slash!

Raiden made a vertical slash as the massive and long katana chopped all the heads of the legendary rank creature in a single move.

The monsterʼs body instantly caught fire while the heads started suspending in the air under Raidenʼs will.

For a dozen seconds, its entire body was covered under dragonfire as Raiden roasted this sea snake to medium rare.

No one saw how Raiden easily killed the sea monster that was untouched all this time despite facing an army of hundred thousand so far.

It wasnʼt just a matter of rank and levels…

But pure talent and skills.

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

Right on the open grasslands where the countʼs forces and warship had stopped…

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

As if cannonballs attacked from the sky, the Venialkartoʼs six decapitated heads descended on the open field, shaking the ground and all the people standing on it in a 500 meter radius.

The noble and his son as well as all their soldiers were left speechless again as Raiden effortlessly killed another legendary rank monster despite so many adverse conditions.

Raiden appeared next to Legolas and spoke.

”Get your men, I left the body at the riverside.” he spoke, showing no haughtiness but also displaying his proud demeanor.

The noble nodded and left a few ships behind to take custody of the body.

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

One Hour Later.

Thud!

A 20 meter tall head of a legendary rank monster dropped in front of the exalted nobleʼs forces.

This monster had 5 meter long horns, brown leather-like skin and snout similar to a bison.

This species was called Ovaaket. An earth elemental monster that could control the rocks, boulders and terrain around it. Plus the defense its skin had was impenetrable even to an attack from the strongest cannon of a warship.

Yet, Raiden brought its finely chopped head.

He then looked at the count who had a pale expression, now… he was more afraid of Raiden than these legendary monsters.

In a calm voice, Raiden asked count Horik.

”So whereʼs my last kill?”
