Hero of Darkness

Chapter 383: The True King

Kahn and the company were left too stunned to speak after Rudra transformed into a whole new being out of nowhere. The basilisk subordinate they knew and the one who was getting thrashed around by the legendary rank Bjormngandur suddenly became twice the size and even 5 meters taller than the opponent in a matter of seconds.

Sizzle!!

Sizzle!!

The watery and muddy marshland sizzled at hundreds of places as big blobs of magma dropped from Rudraʼs body. The once hexagonal scales were now replaced by spiky and hard scales that looked even stronger and sturdier than before.

After finally grasping the situation in front of him, Kahn understood one thing…

Rudra had…. EVOLVED.

In the new form, even his sharp fangs and teeth were transformed to the point Kahn couldnʼt tell a difference between Rudra and the Magma Drake.

And with the magma-related abilities added to his body… the current Rudra was no different than a walking-talking live volcano.

”The hell… didnʼt I get only 5% bloodline purity from the magma drake? How much did he absorb?” asked Kahn in bewilderment.

[The subordinate Rudra currently possesses 20% Draconian Bloodline after eating the body and core of the Magma Drake.

The subordinate has morphed the drakeʼs body into his own and has transmuted himself.] reported the system.

Dumbfounded! Kahn was completely dumbfounded.

”This guy is even a bigger freak than I am!” he shouted in surprise.

Just then… he remembered Rudraʼs previous words about bloodlines.

That Kahn didnʼt even know how to properly use the bloodline effects if not for the system.

Rudra on the other hand seemed like he was researching and practicing how to infuse two different bloodlines when Kahn and everyone thought that he was just eating cores and sleeping inside Kahnʼs shadow for over a year now.

But in reality, he was cultivating himself and mastering two different bloodlines that were supposed to counteract each other since Basilisks and Dragons were natural enemies from thousands of years.

However, Rudra could absorb and harness both the bloodlines together. A freak of nature and an unforeseen amalgamation that never existed before. And unlike Kahn, he had no system to assist him. So it was his own hardwork that caused this evolution.

Currently, Kahn wondered just how strong would Rudra become if he ever absorbed both the bloodlines and reached 100% purity?

Would even a Godbeast or a full-grown Dragon have a chance against Rudra in the future?

But while his thoughts were in shambles.. The second round of this legendary battle began.

HISSS!!!

SCREECH!!

Bang!

Both of the ginormous monsters clashed together and the impact from their clash created shockwave after shockwaves.

This was the battle of the kings in the most brutal form.

Even Kahn felt like he was not comparable to either of the fighters when it came to physical strength. Wondering if heʼd be able to at least put up a fight by using all of his trump cards if he was engaged in the fight himself.

In the present moment, Rudra had closed off the difference between their levels with this transformation that suddenly gave him a major boost in strength… both the basilisk descendant and variant were evenly matched. Their head-on clash being the testament of this equal strength.

Omega and the others felt like they were lucky to not mistakenly pick a bone with Rudra before, otherwise the newly evolved form of the basilisk would give them the most gruesome death.

On the battlefield filled with marshes, the two gigantic monsters akin to the size of godly beasts were trying to kill each other by using their sharp teeth and ripping apart the enemy.

But this time, Rudra was neither affected by the neurotoxic venom nor could the Bjormngandur pierce through his scales like before as the defensive layer of the scales themselves had transformed into something that was extremely sturdier than before and to make the matters worse for the latter… Rudraʼs entire body was now as hot as lava.

And now with all the advantages gone.. The tables had turned on the enemy who seemed like the obvious victor of the battle in the beginning.

As their clash continued for an entire hour… both the tyrannical beings had nearly decimated and changed the structure of the battlefield itself.

Rudraʼs newly upgraded fangs after getting mixed with the Magma drakeʼs teeth were now tearing through the body of the Bjormngandur and not only was he plunging them inside the opponent but also ripping off its flesh in big size comparable to a heavy-load truck on earth.

However, the latter had no chance left to fight back because Rudraʼs blistering hot body that leaked magma now was intolerable for the Bjormngandur to even attack back.

Because when clashed against magma.. It was the water that eventually evaporated.

As both the ginormous monsters came to an impasse after an hour-long battle… the legendary rank Bjormngandur realized that there was no chance of winning.

But before it could even try to run away… Rudraʼs body suddenly catapulted itself and the variant basilisk twirled his entire body around the opponent in a matter of seconds.

SCREECH!!!

Bjormngandur screeched in pain because now, Rudraʼs blistering body had entangled itself around him and started burning and roasting its flesh.

This was even more painful for the enemy because Rudra was basically barbecue-ing the legendary rank opponent.

It was his turn to toy around with the opponent.

The Bjormngandur started wriggling around while Rudra constricted its entire body.

The impact from their struggle and clashing bodies destroyed whatever remained of the battlefield.

And finally when the Bjormngandur started losing its strength because of excessive blood loss.. Rudra opened his mouth as the red hot magma was amassed in his neck.

HISSS!!

Rudra hissed for the last time as he delivered his final attack.

Crackle!

Sizzle!

Before the struggling enemy could even react… Rudra spewed a massive jetstream of red hot magma into the Bjormngandurʼs mouth.

A sizzling white smoke arose from its head as the legendary rank monster, a descendant species of the Godbeast Basilisk was given the most horrifying and excruciatingly painful death by Rudra.

BOOM!!

The lifeless corpse of the Bjormngandur that was charred from the head dropped on the ground and sent tremors throughout the entire battlefield.

Rudra, who had an expression of containment, looked at the corpse of the Bjormngandur.

”Your biggest mistake wasnʼt only underestimating me.” he said and continued in a domineering voice that filled the entire battlefield.

”But to think that you had a chance at winning to begin with.”
