Hero of Darkness

Chapter 82: The Passing

As the Undead Lich, Ajak the Dark Summoner brought Kahn inside this completely pitch black space with nothing but darkness, Kahnʼs skin felt like something was crawling underneath it.

His body felt extremely dull and heavy as he couldnʼt even move a muscle. His sight barely registering what was happening in front of him.

[Whatʼs going on? I canʼt feel anything, my senses arenʼt working.. Am I even alive?] asked Kahn to himself in a bewildered manner.

[System, whatʼs happening?] asked Kahn to the system as he found his current predicament out of beyond understanding.

[The host has been affected by the dark magic spell named the Void Space. The host can only move after breaking through this spell.] replied the system.

[How do I break it?] he asked as he currently had no idea how to overcome this state. At the moment, Kahn was sitting ducks in front of the floor boss.

Just this spell alone was far too terrifying because even though it wasnʼt an actual time-stopping ability, but it worked similarly if your targets couldnʼt even move or have their senses functioning.

No wonder the Dark Summoner had taken its sweet time in casting that long incantation spell. This spell could instantly put an army of thousands inside a limbo and completely put them in a stasis.

If the Lich wanted it, heʼd be dead already. He and his subordinates were completely on the floor bossʼs mercy.

[The dark magic spells can only be countered with Holy magic.] explained the only way he could even move.

[Fuck! I donʼt have a single Holy magic skill.] cursed Kahn in his head as his holster indeed had no holy magic skill.

”Hahaha hahaha!”

At this moment, the Dark Summoner laughed in a majestic and overbearing tone. He floated in the air and stood before Kahnʼs team. The red glowing eyes burned even more brightly as he rejoiced because not a single one from the opposition side could put any form of retaliation.

”In this space, Iʼm the absolute.. I am the one and only. I am the God!” bellowed the Lich and waved its hand towards the enemies.

”And a God should be worshipped vehemently!” declared the Lich.

Suddenly, extremely heavy pressure and some sort of unknown force was exerted on Kahn as he dropped on the pitch-black ground inside this space. He was kneeling on both his legs and hands, his head bowed down in front of the enemy. He felt his subordinates going through the same situation.

[Wait.. I donʼt have Holy magic skills.. But someone does!] exclaimed Kahn in his mind.

As the floor boss continued its maniacal & narcissistic laugh, a sudden burst of white and pure aura exploded in the area where Kahnʼs team was kneeling.

Dang! Thrud!

A barrier of holy energy erupted and covered Kahnʼs team. And the source of this Holy power was none other Armin, the Priest subordinate.

The one without a single attacking skill, but the one who was in charge of healing the members in a group battle.

Armin was made from the bodies of Healers & Druids so he had inherited healing, buff and cleansing skills of both classes. And one skill was called Holy Barrier that not only protected the allies, but also cleansed any debuff magic on them. It was one of the two Holy skills this Priest possessed.

”Arhhhhhh!!” screamed the Lich in agony as the holy magic felt like a dagger was put in its heart.

Kahnʼs team on the other hand finally regained control over their bodies as the dark magic no longer had any control over them.

Kahn breathed heavily as soon as he stood up, feeling alive again.

”You mongrel! I shall put you the most unimaginable pain and make you pay for hurting the almighty me!!” bellowed the Lich in rage as it cast multiple black blade-like spells and attacked Kahnʼs team.

Blackwall quickly stood in the front to defend and his body covered Kahn completely.

THUD!

BANG!

Multiple of these black blades struck his giant shield as he activated all the defensive skills he had. Each of these blades gave Kahn an eerie feeling because not only these 5 meter long blades had an extremely destructive force in them, but the amount of dense dark magic aura they gave was far more powerful than any attacking skill Kahn had seen so far.

Omega quickly stood behind Blackwall, pushing the tank with all of his strength as both the subordinates who were more than 10 meters giant figures made a combined effort to protect their master.

DHOOM!

BOOM!

Both the giant figures were thrown tens of meters away and the rare rank giant shield in Blackwallʼs hand was destroyed to small pieces. Their bodies flung back and they both landed far away from their position. All the other subordinates were also thrown in a far distance from the explosion of these attacks.

Kahn who barely managed to keep his footing from the shockwaves by plunging his sword in the ground looked at the Dark Summoner with a horrified expression as his entire body shuddered in fear.

Those black blades were so destructive and sharp that even a giant boulder would be thoroughly destroyed and cut into two with a single attack.

If those blades had struck Kahn, heʼd be cut in half within a second.

[Oye.. Donʼt tell me heʼs the actual Final Dungeon Boss!] asked Kahn as he felt a bone-chilling aura in his spine.. His body rooted on the spot.

The undead Lich stared at Kahn with burning eyes full of rage and a burst of visible purple aura was emitted from its body which filled the surrounding 50 meters of space. Multiple black chains appeared from the surroundings and bound Kahnʼs both hands and legs. He barely had any strength to even move under this aura.

Even though the boss was a Lord Rank monster, it completely suppressed Kahn in every aspect, whether it was Attack, Defense or Magic. The floor boss was indeed far more powerful in every aspect.

And like the saying goes.. ʼAll strategies fail in front of absolute powerʼ.. so did Kahn. He was completely defeated.

”Youʼre the first living being who has successfully enraged me! I shall do the honors of killing you with my own hands!!” shouted the Lich and another dark blade, but far denser and destructive than the ones before appeared in the Lichʼs hand.

The sheer amount of pressure it exerted froze Kahnʼs expression on the spot as his body was pulled towards the Lich.

BERSERK GOD MODE!!

Thwack!

Before Kahn could even fully activate this skill, the black blade was plunged right into his chest and exited from the other side of his back. A fountain of blood burst from the chest and his body wriggled in the last struggle.

He started losing all the control over his body and mind as his consciousness went blank.

”For what itʼs worth.. This short life was still worth living.” spoke Kahn in a weak voice, closing his eyes as he drifted into the eternal sleep..

AGAIN.
