Hero of Darkness

Chapter 1005 EXCELLING EXCELLENCE

The battlefield resonated with the terrifying power unleashed by the Future Kahn, now an Apostle of War. The enemy saints, identified as significant threats due to their elemental affinities, were the first to face the wrath of this formidable entity.

Despite attempting to flee, the first enemy saint met his demise under the combined assault of Sigrun and Vidarr, Kahnʼs new Shield and Battleaxe. The indomitable aura of the Future Kahn proved overwhelming, leaving no room for escape.

The second opponent, displaying more courage, opted for a direct confrontation at full capacity. However, the outcome proved unfavorable for him, as he miscalculated his own strength while underestimating the otherworldly power possessed by the Future Kahn. 

Just a single swing from Lucifer using the Dragon Strike skill was enough to split him in half like slaughtering a cattle.

In just 2 minutes, Kahn killed 2 saints from the enemy side.

In just 2 minutes, Kahn killed 2 saints from the enemy side.

The battle unfolded in a manner that even the current Kahn found challenging to comprehend. Because this future version of him was already in a far higher league than he was.

”Alright. The next one.” spoke future Kahn and his figure disappeared.

His next target was Ariel, the priestess with Water element affinity and also Holy spells.

The reason Kahn targeted her after those two was that Ariel was someone who could later become a hindrance and come in to save her allies.

And now that the Black Sun had forced her into an isolated place away from her allies, it was the perfect opportunity.

”You think I will make the same mistake twice?” asked Ariel in a vengeful tone.

In seconds, she started casting numbers of holy spells that created hundreds of protective barriers around her from all directions and also, a tsunami arose in the 3-kilometer radius, attacking Kahnʼs ginormous figure with highly compressed waterblades and attacks.

”Huh! Just because she can use Holy Magic doesnʼt mean it ensures her safety till her allies arrive.” spoke Kahn in disdain.

”Go help her you idiots! Heʼs trying to kill the only healer who can help and strengthen all of you!” yelled Anakin.

Woosh!

Swoosh!

The other saints who were more than 15 kilometers away in the sky suddenly jolted and sprung forth while keeping their distance away from the Black Sun that was now twice bigger in size.

However… the future Kahn had no intentions to wait for help to arrive.

[Look at this, new me. This is how you deal with Holy Magic spells and barriers.] he spoke in a confident tone.

Stab!

He stabbed Vidarr in the ground and kneeled as if he was praying.

”I invoke the Authority in the name of the almighty God of Darkness.

As I, his herald… Kahn Salvatore, the Hero of Darkness, demands to open the Gates of Abyss!” he bellowed in a majestic and authoritative tone.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Soon, 4 gates made of pure darkness, each standing 200 meters tall with millions of bones of countless beings and skulls of dragons and godbeasts in the middle, arose from the ground.

These were the literal Gates of Hell in Vantrea. And now, the future Kahn had opened them with a single command.

The gates now surrounded Ariel, the priestess and she trembled in fear after sensing the ominous aura of death.

Creak!

Creak!

In seconds, the gates started opening.

BOOM!!

And before even her allies reached close… a massive surge of blue hellfire was shot forth from these gates and incinerated the barriers, the tsunami of water and….

”ARGGHHHH!!” A terrifying wail of anguish spread as the priestess was incinerated alive.

As they watched from afar, the remaining saints were bewildered.

It had been more seconds since they charged forth but Kahn had summoned the gates of abyss just to use the hellfire that appeared when they opened.

”Hey… Isnʼt that an Overkill?” asked Judas, trembling in disbelief.

”Did he just… summon the gates of hell?! Are you fucking kidding me?!

Who the fuck is this guy?!” shouted Knull in disbelief.

”We… we never should have come in the first place.

That bastard Anakin is the reason why we died and heʼs the reason why we will die again!” bellowed Judas.

Woosh!

”Badmouthing your leader? I call this insubordination.

And insubordination during a battle… is punishable by death!” spoke Kahn in a vicious voice.

”Void Realm!” SWOOM!

Soon, the nearby 10 kilometers of space was suddenly covered in a black dome-like barrier, and inside… everything froze.

The aura of darkness had stopped the time as Judas, the monster-like saint was now even unable to move or use any of his skills.

Future Kahn used the Void Ream skill after so many years ever since he got it from Ajax, the Dark Summoner in the Bromnir dungeon.

Usually, the current Kahn never used it because it could potentially expose his identity as Hero of Darkness. But the Future Kahn… didnʼt seem to give a fuck about it as he used it against Judas, a 3rd stage saint.

Vidarr suddenly lit up with blue hellfire just like the one that emerged from the Gates of Abyss.

Slash!

The 1-kilometer-tall titanic Kahn did not even waste another moment and slashed it vertically.

To him, it was like using a sword to kill an ant given the difference in their size.

BOOM!!

The ground shattered and the surge of world energy exploded.

Crumble!

The Void Realm shattered but Judas had already turned into ash.

Kahn with the wolfʼs head turned in the Heroʼs direction and winked with a friendly smile…

”Got rid of the traitor for you.”

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

His next target was none other than Targos Boltan, the golem-like individual whose entire body was made of stone and whose skull was on fire.

And this time, Kahn did not even plan to move.

”Hey there…” spoke Kahn after appearing a kilometer away from the saint.

”Dance for me!” ordered Kahn.

”What the hell did you just say? You think you can toy with me, you fucker?!” bellowed Targos.

But soon, the surrounding area was filled with rampaging storms and millions of waterblades.

The Future Kahn had used the Waterblade Hurricane skill, the legendary rank domain-like skill that he received from Cthulhu.

1 minutes later...

Another dreary scene appeared as Kahn deactivated the skill. And all that remained…

Were a bunch of smoldering and shattered bricks.
