Hero of Darkness

After having a recap of the past because of Rathnaar’s sudden query, Kahn realized that he was actually the Apostle of War Deity. 

Because blessings and gifts from a Deity are only given to those who gain their approval and are considered as the official representative in the world. 

As he just found out that Kravel was considered to be the strongest deity of them all. This made Kahn question his own potential. 

Because Kravel was a human just like him and neither was he a chosen hero, had divine abilities or even a blessing from a deity. 

And yet, he achieved the feat of reaching the peak saint rank, created the Abyss Empire, kill an Elder Dragon as well as an Archangel who were supposed to be as strong as a Demi-God and finally, he nearly achieve world domination until the Gods themselves had to interfere. 

Just like Rathnaar said… all the chosen heroes were a joke compared to someone like Kravel, the War Deity. 

And if he played his cards right… he could have the same potential. Because Rathnaar himself was probably the second strongest human after Kravel who also reached the peak saint rank and killed many heroes even without any help or blessings. 

And the former peak saint was bound to his soul. So trying to fork out some useful tips and knowledge from the first emperor could also become very beneficial to him. 

“Alright, let’s leave. Make sure that none of you have left any trace behind that could be used to track you.” said Kahn. 

All of them nodded as if they were already prepared for it in advance. 

All the subordinates then jumped into his shadow and Kahn opened a void crack using Lucifer. 

Now that he was a saint rank in both physical body and also in his master over Space Law, his energy reserves of Space Force were multiplied by 5 times. And the 5 doppelgangers who had absorbed space force from a long time and waited patiently inside the Dimensional Domain for over a month as per his plans, quickly supplied him with a huge quantity. 

Kahn then disappeared from the No Man’s Land and entered the True Dimension as he began his journey towards the Vulcan Empire. 

—————-

Twenty thousand kilometers away from No Man’s Land, in a grand property of the imperial family of the Vulcan empire that spanned over a dozen kilometers in total circumference… 

A meeting between the top powerhouses of the empire, the church and the emperor himself was held. 

This person only had a humanoid appearance but looked more like a demon. A long legendary rank spear was kept beside his throne situated at the end of this vast hall and even his long hair glowed fiery yellow. 

The aura this emperor emitted was that of an 8th stage saint while the expression he had was dead serious. 

“Your majesty, we just received the divine decree from our great god Hetrax! 

The new chosen one of the God of Darkness has finally arrived! 

And it’s a man this time as well. In the decree, the great god informed me that he just made a breakthrough to the Saint rank.” spoke an old person who had a similar species like the emperor but appeared to be in his 70s.

This old entity was adorning a red and yellow pallium while holding a golden staff, signifying that he was the pope of the Church of Hetrax, the God of Fire. 

“So the final hero is here too. Did our great god give any details about him?” asked the emperor. 

“Yes. The message mentioned that based on his aura, he is from the same world as the 6th Hero of Space who was summoned 530 years ago. 

We don’t know much about the point of origin.” replied the pope. 

“Where’s his current location? Which empire did he originate from?” asked the emperor. 

However, to this query, the pope’s expression constricted as if he was having a migraine out of a sudden.  Pa nda

No vel “The signal we received came from the south… from No Man’s Land.” he revealed. 

“Damn it! Of all the places… he broke through in No Man’s Land! 

That is going to complicate a lot of things. 

Since the Rakos Empire is out of bounds… the rest of the empires will put pressure on us and the other side. 

Thinking that either we or them have him. Those bastards will go as far as to say that we were harboring the new hero of darkness.” spoke the emperor in an irritated voice. 

“We can’t even track him without entering there. 

But if we move, it will bring more trouble than good. 

We don’t know which of the two empires he originated from and if he entered our territory or traveled to either of the two empires… we will also lose the last chance to get the final key. 

We can talk with the other empire and make a temporary truce but we know nothing about the inner happenings of the Rakos Empire. 

They won’t care if it’s an issue related to gods or a chosen hero. They will take it as a declaration of war as soon as either of our forces enter the no man’s land.” said the emperor in a somber tone. 

“As long as they have those 3 seventh stage saints… trying to reason with them won’t yield any results. 

If I even enter just two thousand kilometers close to that region… it will be a war.” he iterated. 

“Who’s guarding the southern border these days?” he asked the commander of the military. 

“It’s… it’s… princess Venessa, your majesty.” replied the person seated on the right side’s small throne. 

The emperor’s face turned even more exasperated. 

“My father warned me that out of all the previous generation of Heroes… Hero of Darkness was the most dangerous and terrifying. 

And if this new one is anything like his predecessor… then we must kill him before he spreads his wings. 

He is only a first stage saint now… but even so, I don’t think Venessa will be able to fight against him.” he hypothesized. 

“That leaves us no choice… relay my orders!

Send him to the southern border.” spoke the emperor as he gave his imperial decree. 

“Send the Hero of Fire.”
