Hero of Darkness

Chapter 1084 The Unconventional

The clash between the two titanic beings had begun in earnest. Their blows sent shockwaves that shook the very foundation of Ryuken's divine domain. Yet, it was clear Kahn had no intention of allowing the battle to drag on. With his newfound mastery from the 4th Enlightenment in Space Law, he prepared to unleash a devastating counter.

"Abyssal Lightning!"

Kahn roared, his voice a thunderclap that reverberated through the distorted air.

BOOM!

A blinding beam, 200 meters wide, burst forth from Kahn's outstretched blade. Malevolent darkness and rampaging lightning coiled together in perfect harmony, forming a destructive force that was as beautiful as it was terrifying.

The beam erupted with the speed and force of a hypersonic bullet fired from a celestial cannon.

Reality itself quivered.

Rupture!

The fabric of Ryuken's domain splintered under the onslaught. The beam carved a path of annihilation, stretching an unfathomable 25 kilometers in a straight line.

Valleys, mountains, and even the ethereal constructs of the domain disintegrated into nothingness, their existence erased by the sheer destructive might of Kahn's strike.

And then... the point of impact.

Thud!

Thud!

The battlefield trembled as Ryuken's gargantuan form collapsed into two grotesque chunks of flesh.

His Domain of Sacred Divinity, a fusion of his divine spirits, was torn asunder.

The upper half of his form, now reduced to two pairs of arms, fell to one side. The lower half with legs still intact, crumbled on the other.

The chest and torso, the very core of his massive, divine body... were obliterated, leaving nothing but void where his heart of power had once been.

Silence!

For a moment, there was silence. The oppressive aura that had once filled the domain dissipated, replaced by an eerie emptiness.

Dust and debris floated aimlessly in the ruined realm, the aftermath of Kahn's decisive blow evident in every fractured piece of the battlefield.

The onlookers, Ryuken's companions included, were frozen in shock.

Although none of them could see what was happening in the two overlapping and intermingled domains, the battlefield where the Sacred Divinity and the Apostle of War were fighting... just the sheer tremors and shockwaves they felt from 50 kilometers away were more than enough to raise their worries.

"This can't be..." one of the spirits whispered, their voice trembling with disbelief.

The others, even the most malevolent among them, were momentarily silenced. The sheer devastation wrought by Kahn's Abyssal Lightning attack had left them with no words.

Kahn stood tall, his Apostleo of War form emanating a predatory aura that seemed to grow stronger as he surveyed the battlefield.

His crimson eyes flickered with a mixture of satisfaction and unwavering determination as he lowered Muramasa, the darkness blade crackling faintly with residual lightning.

"Tch! Was that all?" asked Kahn in a grim voice, the disdain visible in his eyes.

He genuinely expected more from this fight, but a single powerful move of his had eviscerated the Sacred Divinity, leading to his disappointment.

"Now then, let's wait till he reverts to his original form," Kahn's voice echoed across the devastated battlefield, his Apostle form radiating an aura of calm dominance that belied the chaotic aftermath.

Squirm!

Squirm!

Swoom!

Suddenly, everything on the ground turned pitch-black as the entire Dimensional Domain and the Domain of Sacred Divinity turned into a realm of eternal abyss.

RAWWRRR!!

GRRR!!

One after another, thousands and then millions of monstrous creatures arose from the ground, like shadows emerging from the cold and lifeless darkness.

Kahn's crimson eyes glinted with unyielding determination as he extended his arms, summoning his monster army in a flash of dark, shimmering energy.

A vast horde of millions of grotesque and powerful creatures, ranging from Elite to Lord Rank materialized across the sky and the battlefield, each emanating a deadly aura. But to the shock of everyone watching, he didn't command them to attack Ryuken.

Instead, he raised Muramasa with a chilling smirk.

[I don't like using this cheat code.] Kahn muttered to himself, his voice tinged with exasperation.

[It's not cost-effective and burns a big hole in my wallet. Now I'll have to spend billions of SSS-Rank monster cores to bring these guys back later.]

The creatures roared and screeched, seemingly unaware of their impending fate.

Kahn's grip on his sword tightened as he prepared to unleash an ability he had avoided using ever since arriving in Vantrea.

The True Demon bloodline effect!

For the first time in his long and arduous journey, Kahn was ready to activate this terrifying power.

The Chaos Demon bloodline effect was an ability that could transform mass slaughter into an overwhelming, exponential power boost and raising his Strength stats by 5 times.

However, its activation came at a steep price: Kahn had to personally kill thousands of enemies in rapid succession to achieve its peak potential.

Previously, only Jugram, Kahn's subordinate, had utilized this effect during battles. Jugram's fighting style made it ideal; his overwhelming destructive power allowed him to annihilate hordes of enemies with ease.

For Kahn, however, none of his past battles had required such tactics. His enemies had been singular, powerful foes, not legions of adversaries.

But now, in this dire situation against Ryuken's Sacred Divinity, where conventional methods proved ineffective...

Kahn knew he needed an unconventional solution.

Slash!

With a single sweep of Muramasa, Kahn decapitated millions of his summoned creatures by using the Dimensional Cut.

Their bodies crumbled into glowing fragments of mana and blood essence, feeding into him as streams of dark red energy coiled around his massive form.

His Apostle of War's wolf head glowed even brighter, and his draconic wings expanded as if they were absorbing the very essence of destruction and chaos. Each swing of his blade felled thousands of more of his monsters, and each death amplified the horrifying aura surrounding him.

As the horde dwindled, Kahn's power surged. His once-overwhelming aura grew even more potent, evolving into a storm of pure chaos energy.

A crimson-red light enveloped him, pulsating with an otherworldly resonance. The overwhelming force shattered the remaining fragments of Ryuken's domain within a 10-kilometer radius.

Finally, as the last of his monsters fell, Kahn straightened, his form now glowing with a malevolent brilliance.

He clenched his fists, feeling the raw strength coursing through him. For the first time, Kahn's aura matched that of a Peak 7th-Stage Saint, a level of power that could shake the heavens and earth alike.

And finally, Kahn's entire body made of pure Darkness had turned into Blood-red, changing his aura of lifeless darkness into merciless bloodlust.

His voice boomed across the battlefield, commanding attention as it resonated with the weight of his newfound strength.

"Behold the true power of Chaos!"
