Hero of Darkness

Chapter 296: Grand Revelation

In front of the millions of audiences in this enormous battle arena, two young warriors stood against each other while the entire empire looked forward towards their battle that would decide one of the finalists of this competition.

On the scoreboard, the betting odds for this fight were also revealed.

90:10

Kahn being on the unfavored side again.

In front of Kahn, stood a halfbreed demonkin warrior who a big and long scythe as his weapon and a greenish epic rank armor made to complement his physical strength and maneuverability while fighting.

His eyes glowed red while the one long red horn on the right side of his forehead protruded outwards. He looked at Kahn with carefree eyes and spoke.

”Oye.. I donʼt want to waste time here. You know who is stronger amongst us.

You reached till this stage because your opponent was a peak grandmaster.

But your luck ends here. So forfeit the match and spare me the hassle.” spoke Victor in a calm yet overbearing voice.

[Ah, fucking cliche dialogs..] thought Kahn and replied in a stern tone.

”Hey.. If you want a free victory.. Shouldnʼt you put in some effort?”

Asked Kahn and flooded his arms as he firmly looked in the eyes of the opponent.

Gasp!

Kahnʼs endearing response made many people surprised. Because the opponent was a bonafide semi-saint and he was only a peak grandmaster in the public eye.

Although his match with Veronica went well, many people still believed that he won by luck and also his act of thrashing the young woman had left a bad impression on the audience throughout the whole empire.

So him acting all confident in front of the mighty opponent seemed out of the blue.

”What.. What did you say?” asked Victor as his tone suddenly turned hostile.

”Are you deaf or something? I said if you want a free victory.. You should put in some effort for it.” spoke Kahn as he tilted his head and gave a condescending look at the opponent.

”Oh.. Is that so? Then what do you want?” asked Victor as he clenched his hand on the scythe, his brows creased and an irritated expression appearing on the face.

”Beg for it!”

Responded Kahn with a benign smile as he fearlessly declared.

BOOM!!

A loud burst of dark red aura erupted on the left side of the battle ring as Victor released his strength of a semi-saint after Kahnʼs proclamation.

”You.. What did you say you filthy insect?!” shouted the demonkin warrior.

”Get on your knees and beg for me to forfeit the match. I might even fulfill your wish if I find it sincere.” replied Kahn with a grin on his countenance.

STUNNED!

Let it be the audience in the battle arena, people watching on the broadcasting screen or the top saints of the empire who came to personally watch the match and support Victor since he was the chosen representative of the Demi-Human faction.

Even the dozens of saints from enemy factions were also bewildered after his outrageous words.

They already knew the results of the match yet somehow Kahn had the galls of refuting and even insulting Victor Apopis, the candidate who reached this round by defeating a semi-saint himself.

Despite all that, Kahnʼs words were too brazen and he publicly insulted the opponent. An opponent who came from the most prestigious background and was also the son of the previous champion.

”You.. Looks there are indeed people who donʼt know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Youʼre not even worthy of sharing the same battlegrounds with me and yet you want me to kneel and beg in front of you? And that too when our whole empire is watching?

Hey.. Donʼt tell me you have a deathwish?” asked Victor with an infuriated tone.

The reason why he was holding back was because a semi-saint bullying a peak grandmaster in front of the whole empire would leave a bad impression.

Plus he was a renowned genius who had the best teachers and training from saints of his factions and her, a seemingly weaker opponent was acting all high and mighty in front of him.

”Has that human gone crazy?!”

”What an idiot. Looks like he wants to get beaten up badly.”

”He wonʼt come out alive if he angers the demonkin more. Killing is allowed in this round.” spoke thousands of the people amongst the audience as they chattered between themselves.

”Alright.. There will be indeed kneeling and begging on this battle ring.

Iʼll make you eat your kneecaps and beg in front of me to spare your life!” declared Victor as he finally lost his patience and decided to teach the human in front of him a lesson.

No beating him to death now will tarnish his reputation in the future as if he let Kahn go without cutting off his arms and legs..

Anyone would think that they could badmouth him and go unpunished.

At this point, he wasnʼt just representing himself but all the noble factions and their members of the empire.

”Alright then. Letʼs see if you have the ability to do so.” replied Kahn and brandished Lucifer in his right hand.

BOOM!!

Just when everyone thought that Kahnʼs life was gone for good after enraging the halfbreed demonkin and the entire upper class of the society.. And sudden surprise that shook the whole empire in an instant was revealed.

Kahnʼs black and red aura also erupted out from his body and filled half of the three kilometer wide battle ring.

And as he tyrannical and ghastly aura was revealed to not only Victor but all the saints in VIP rooms..

A vital information about Kahn, the biggest dark horse of this competition, was finally revealed to the entire empire of four billion citizens.

SEMI- SAINT!!

Kahn was now revealed to be a semi-saint!

Everyone watching this match was rooted on the spot. Even the people from seven deadly sins who were told to bet on Kahnʼs win were shocked to the point they forgot how to breathe.

”Believe me..”

With War Dominance activated, Kahnʼs body was covered in a dense black and red aura. His tyrannical and deathly voice resounded in the whole battle arena as he targeted the opponent with his killing intent.

”You do not want this fight.”
