Hero of Darkness

Chapter 812 The King

Rathnaar quickly warned the duo about the strength of this powerful being who suddenly appeared and confronted them out of nowhere. Not only both of them were taken aback but also started planning their escape routes at the next moment.

Shing!

Hum!

Swoom!

Multiple waves of powerful aura exuded from the being covered under a thick layer of blistering fire, instantly freezing both of them on the spot with his unfathomable and dreary saint pressure.

The being revealed his killing intent and both Kahn and Vildred are perplexed, their expression contorted as both become paranoid.

And finally… the thick wall-like layer of scorching fire diffused and they saw the true appearance of this peak 7th stage saint.

A 3 meter tall and ripped body with a waving dark red mane and fur covering it.

Strong and big arms, biceps and triceps with visible muscles and a strong upper torso came into sight.

As for the head… it had two glowing red eyes with no iris in them and even the eyebrows of this saint were on fire.

Extremely high-grade armor set comprised of golden and spikey pauldrons, gauntlets, shin guards and a belt over the waist along with dark red loose pants gave imagery of a great warrior as this beingʼs terrifying aura spread in 30 kilometers of space swiftly.

If any normal person was here… they wouldʼve instantly died under this overbearing and ghastly pressure alone.

With two long and wide perked-up ears, sharp as well as deadly claws and a mouth with a long jaw and snout… the peak 7th stage saint resembled…

A Wolfkin.

But unlike any other wolfkin Kahn had seen in Vantrea so far, whether it was Rakos, Vulcan or Zivot empire… this one was different in a sense.

Because unlike the former, this peak 7th stage saint had an anthropomorphic wolf and human-like body.

Normally, in the world of Vantrea… Werewolves aka the Wolfkin were just tall and hairy wolves who could walk on two legs. Yet this one seemed very different.

His upper body regions such as the bare chest and abs were not covered in fur and looked more like that of a human. And over the chest… were hundreds of glowing red vein patterns as if magma was running under his chest.

These glowing veins spread across the massive arms, shoulders, deltoids and back akin to some archaic runes.

Kahn could even feel a sense of kinship with him and instantly remembered something that happened years ago.

Those rune-like patterns were actually manifested due to this beingʼs bloodline. Similar to how Omega also had these types of tattoo-like patterns on his body in his human form.

The only difference was Omega had Black colored patterns while this individual had Red ones.

As if he was completely superior in every aspect… this wolfkin seemed far beyond the level of normal wolfkins as he was a completely different breed.

At this moment… the fiery red wolfkinʼs eyes interlocked with Kahn from afar and then moved next to Vildred who was flying beside him.

”So a Lesser Dragon is accompanying you.” he spoke and the pressure on their bodies increased by a dozen times as if a bunch of mountains dropped on them.

”This lowly trash!” shouted Vildred in fury as he was greatly offended.

The dragon emperor was getting furious because being called a Lesser Dragon was an insult to him.

Among true dragons… Lesser, Superior and Royal Dragons were the tiers of the hierarchy. So obviously he would be offended when being mistaken for the bottom tier.

[Donʼt reveal it! Maybe he will underestimate us.

We need to find an opportunity to escape. The more cards we have, the better.] Kahn said through their mind connection and started forming an escape plan on the spot.

However, the very following moment… he flicked his finger in Vildredʼs direction.

BOOM!!

Hundreds of golden pillars of light shot from the sky above and instantly sealed Vildred inside a barrage of formations.

In just mere moments, the royal dragon was teleported 40 kilometers away, caged in these innumerable magic spells and barriers.

Vildred quickly reacted and started countering and unraveling these spells that trapped him. But soon, his expression turned ugly.

”Dammit! If I was at least a 5th stage saint level, I would have been able to command the world energy used by this artifact and get out of this cage instantly.” cursed Vildred as he was temporarily restricted due to lack of his strength.

[Sorry, kid. But youʼre on your own for a while. I will break free from it as soon as I can. But till then…

Try not to die.] he relayed his words to Kahn.

On the other side, the wolfkin also made his move while Kahn quickly equipped Drakos Armor and Lucifer.

Their Legendary Rank set and his Draconian Bloodline effects made him comparable to a beginner 5th stage saint instantly.

Shing!

Shing!

SHRILL!

The 7th stage saint also summoned thousands of large wormholes behind him while the Wolfkin himself stood with his arms folded, displaying an uncaring expression.

And soon swords, halberds, spears, polearms, maces, shields, daggers, greatswords, longsowrds, battleaxes… any weapon you can name it suddenly emerged out of these wormholes.

A scene of entire sky being covered by these immeasurable and extremely threatening weapons became a reality.

All of these weapons were 100 meters long on their own. An atrack from them was more than enough to eradicate an entire village with a single strike.

And all of them revolved behind the Wolfkin like a literal storm of lethal weapons while the latter only had a lofty demeanor.

As if some sort of War God was looking down on him… even Kahn was terrified to his core.

But for some reason, the Wolfkin kept glaring at Kahn as if trying to gauge his strength, yet his countenance was filled with indifference.

”Itʼs just as he said… you have potential.

Your body and physical strength are comparable to a beginner 5th stage saint despite you being only a beginner 4th stage saint.

You have immense durability and regeneration abilities because of various bloodlines absorbed from different beings and monsters.

But what youʼve learned till now will never help you reach your peak mastery whether in magic spells, combat techniques and weapon skills.” the wolfkin declared as soon as he was done inspecting Kahnʼs entire being.

Even Kahn was dumbfounded and stupefied as soon as he heard those words. It seemed as if the Wolfkin had prior information about Kahn.

Otherwise, how could he detect so many things about Kahn in such a short time when even Vildred couldnʼt see through them back in immortal dungeon?

”Who are you?” asked Kahn while barely withstanding this immense pressure by activating War Dominance and various other body-strengthening skills he had, all at the same time.

”Iʼm one of the 4 Heavenly Kings of the Nadur Empire.”

”As for my name…” replied this saint who seemed to be a Brawler class warrior based on his appearance as he revealed his identity.

”Romulus Lykaios.”
