Hero of Darkness

Chapter 663: l Have An Army

The battle between Axel and Kahnʼs two generals was at its peak but in a way, it was still a standstill situation because the number of enemies remained the same as time went by.

The root cause of it was the blood of the dead blood monsters that Axel was using again and again. This function was something even Kahn didnʼt know of as. The only thing he could link it to was Axelʼs own physiology that allowed this change in the divine ability named Blood Monarch.

”Give up, Salvatore. Your possies canʼt ever stop me.” spoke Axel through his skull mouth.

”I have an army.”

Kahn on the other end, smiled and replied in a coy tone…

”We have a Jugram.”

BOOM!!

Before Axel could react… behind him, a massive crimson red burst of hellfire rose and quickly burned down the surrounding 1 kilometer region just with its scorching flames.

ROARRR!!!

An ear-deafening and ground-shattering roar of a ginormous creature sent shockwaves in the surroundings as a 500 meter tall creature appeared just 5 kilometers away from Axel.

Two enormous horns on fire, a massive demonic face with red eyes, ripped and muscular arms that had an exterior layer like a boney armor came to be.

The entire plant life, trees, grasslands and the blood monsters that were caught in this hellfire in the two kilometer radius area started burning on the spot.

Venessa who watched this from behind Kahn was flabbergasted on the spot as well.

Axel already knew of Jugramʼs origin but learning was different from experiencing in the end. And now, the former finally saw a creature that was twice his own size.

Without further ado, Jugram quickly activated Hell Domain and the temperature of the surrounding 5 kilometers radius rose to 500 degree celcius. Also, all the monsters had 75% of their strength and physical defenses lowered under the perimeter of the hell domain.

In just a few seconds, a few hundred thousand blood monsters had their bodies incinerated as they instantly turned into ash. Not a single drop of blood remained in their bodies.

”Bastard!!” bellowed Axel in his eerie voice and launched 5 massive orbs of fire.

BANG!!

BANG!!

These fire orbs were enough to nuke 5 kilometers of the region with a single strike… but instead of killing the Hellblazer general; Jugramʼs body quickly absorbed them from the point of impact.

The Sageʼs Eye only told Axel about the generals and their true forms. But not their abilities they didnʼt display before. Little did the Hero of Fire know… that Jugram had a unique skill of his own. And that was….

King of Fire.

It was a Saint Rank passive ability that made Jugram immune to all types of fire attribute attacks and helped him absorb such spells and attacks in order to turn them into his physical attributes and increase his stats.

The maximum rise in stats could be up to 500%. Means Jugram would be able to become 5 times stronger in time based on the fire orb attacks Axel was launching to kill him.

However, this wasnʼt the end at all.

Jugram then started jumping from one place to another, causing a wanton massacre and his other passive ability started doing its work.

Blood Storm!

This was SSS Rank passive ability that allowed Jugram to drain out the blood from dead beings during a battle and use it as a high-pressure blood storm for 2 kilometers.

Another effect was that he could create any form of weapons using the blood by mixing his aura and world energy in it.

But as fate wouldnʼt have it… the already powerful Jugram who was enough to massacre an army of millions by himself, had another passive ability just for a battle of this scale.

Chaos Emperor!

Another one of Jugramʼs Saint Rank passive abilities was doing its work at this moment.

The more enemies Jugram killed and their blood was absorbed by him in a 5 kilometer radius… the more strength, defense and attack buff will be gained by the Diablos general over time.

Right in front of Axelʼs eyes, Jugram started absorbing the gushing blood from the flailing bodies of the blood monsters and created over a thousand 20 meter long giantswords, each of which looked identical to Ares.

Slash!!

Rumble!!

Crackle!!

Unlike Ceril and Armin who had to be stationary in their respective positions to use their skills and command their armies, Jugram was a frontline warrior.

He charged into the battlefield without a second thought, killing thousands as he turned their bodies to cinders just with his presence alone and the massive giantswords created from the blood of the enemies massacred millions within 20 kilometers radius.

At the same time, the blood that wasnʼt absorbed by Jugram was turning into smoke. So in a way, Axel was losing his own blood and battle prowess continuously while having no supply of extra blood to create more monsters for his army.

Axel was thoroughly infuriated because Jugram was not only massacring his forces the most but also stole his supply while Armin and Ceril were dwindling his numbers.

If Axel had the blood, he could create more blood monsters but if the blood was sucked away by another entity, heʼd be losing a good amount of his firepower. Let alone affect his physique at the same time.

HALF AN HOUR LATER.

Jugram obliterated more than 20 million monsters just on his own and finally received a total of 10 times buff using King of Fire and Chaos Emperor.

Now, he was comparable to a legit 3rd stage saint and equally matched against Axel in terms of physical stats and strength.

”Do it.” commanded Kahn.

Jugram quickly activated Frenzy Berserker skill that gave him 5 times increase in strength for half an hour.

SHRILL!!

Even Axel felt a sense of impending doom as he retreated 20 kilometers away, escaping Jugramʼs wrath because he could tell that if he stayed there any longer…

Jugram wouldʼve ripped him in two parts.

Axel had a Divine Ability. But Kahn had 3 Legendary rank monster generals who had the abilities to counter it by collaborating.

Blood Monarch was a divine ability that could be used to fight and win against even an Empireʼs entire army if Axel was a higher ranked saint. But now… The three generals of Kahn had made it completely useless in a battle.

”Iʼll kill you, you fucking bastards!” bellowed Axel, no longer having that confident expression compared to when the battle started.

”Youʼve forced my hand.” he said in a grim voice and ordered all of his minions to return. Soon, he used bloodline-specific ability and mixed all the blood monsters together.

Just 5 minutes later while Axel avoided getting hit by Jugram attacks and giantswords… another monstrous creature was formed by Axel that was over 1 kilometer in height alone.

A ginormous monster made of thousands of human skulls and rotten flesh appeared on the battlefield and Axel shouted in a victorious voice.

”You canʼt defeat me!!”

”I know.” spoke Kahn with a firm voice.

BOOM!!

A massive explosion of brown aura erupted behind Kahn and Axel was shocked to his core while the former spoke with a wide grin on his face.

”But he can.”
