Hero of Darkness

Chapter 826 Stormy Battlefield

As soon as Romulus declared his well-thought assumptions… A sudden change occurred inside the pocket dimension acting as a battle arena.

One after another, hundreds of massive pillars of water arose from the ground while the surging tides submerged the entire surroundings up to 50 meters high as if a new sea was formed.

Even the dark clouds summoned by Juno suddenly started acting under the influence of this new battlefield as the blue wolfkin hijacked the control from the enchantress.

Drip!𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝓃o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨𝒎

Drip!

In just a few moments, the sky started pouring down as loud and thunderous noises resounded.

Hurricanes, thunderstorms, typhoons… All of them were summoned at once and rampantly charged from all directions while rising up to 4 kilometers in height alone, targeting the white wolfkins as a barrage of millions of high pressured water blades that could cut down a boulder in a single slash attacked all 4 of them at once.

Previously, the disciples of the peak 7th stage saint had surrounded him inside a 2 kilometers wide battle formation that acted like a cage. But now… It was Atreus who trapped them inside a 15 kilometers radius battlefield that swirled like a whirlpool, enclosing all the escape routes whether it was ground or the sky.

They were no longer surrounding Atreus. Rather, he was surrounding them.

Swoosh!

Right exactly the group was stifled because of this sudden turn of events that caught them off guard, Atreus quickly appeared a few meters behind Mephisto who was protecting himself under a protection barrier while getting hit by hundreds of waterblades.

If he wasnʼt a 2nd stage saint, heʼd be cut into thousands of small slices already.

Yet, the onslaught was still too much for him and this attack purposely charged at him from the front. He didnʼt even sense Atreus suddenly appearing behind him.

The blue wolfkin on the other end amassed his full strength inside a punch.

BOOM!!

Crack!

A shockwave resonated in the battlefield as Beowulf struck the barrier and broke past all of its defenses, shattering it instantly.

Mephisto quickly turned his head around with a terrified expression. He hadnʼt even sensed the Brawler wolfkin and before he could react…

Bang!

His chest caved in as a solid punch delivered by Atreus quickly broke his ribcage and sternum.

”Aaarreghhh!!”

Mephisto threw up a mouthful of blood as his entire body shook and his lungs and liver were damaged.

Before the other 3 disciples evading and fighting on different fronts could even react…

Atreus one-shot Mephisto.

The elemental mageʼs body dropped to the surface of the erratic sea below as he fainted due to intense pain.

Whoosh!

”You bastard!”

A figure appeared behind Atreus and aimed his two daggers at his neck.

Grab!

However, Atreus didnʼt give Ivaar any chance to even activate his assassination skills or prepare for some killer move.

Bang!

He pulled the 3rd stage saint and headbutted him on the spot. Without wasting another moment, the blue wolfkin quickly used Executionerʼs Gaze, paralyzing the assassin and rendering his body from moving.

Punch!

Punch!

Atreusʼ left hand punched in succession and broke the assassinʼs jaw and his right shoulder. His speed was so fast that only the powerful spectators aka Romulus and Priscilla saw through this attack.

This skill was a SS Rank skill named Precision Hit. It worked only at close range and the opponent needed to be slow to react to this attack. Thus, Kahn used this to knock out Ivaar.

Plop!

Just like before, he threw the opponent into the sea and moved to the next target.

Whoosh!

On the right side, amidst the storm of waterblades, Juno was using her lightning elemental formations and destroying the blades as hundreds of lightning bolts easily broke through them.

But the problem here was the unceasing quantity of the blades which were taking a toll on her already low world energy reserves. And since the Enchanter Class couldnʼt use an external source or an artifact like a Summoner to make their attacks, she was greatly struggling.

Punch!

Shatter!

Her protective measures shattered from a random-looking punch from Atreus and Juno received an immense backlash.

This time too, Atreus grabbed and choked the opponentʼs neck with an evil grin.

”You like to use those lightning bolts a lot, donʼt you?” asked the wolfkin with a devilish smirk.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The dark sky rumbled as hundreds of lightning bolts amassed together.

”Impossible!” spoke Juno while struggling to breathe.

Flickr!

The blue wolfkinʼs image flickered but before Juno could even react…

Thunderclap!!

The thunderous lightning bolt shot from the sky and hit the enchantress.

Bang!

A fainted female wolfkin whose entire figure was now charred black, dropped into the sea below as Atreus ironically used a lightning bolt by controlling the clouds in the sky to take down this lightning enchantress.

Slash!

Right then, Dorian slashed one of his 500 meter long Light Elemental swords and hundreds of swords, each sizing 5 meters in length swarmed around him.

Atreus was so fast in taking down his allies that he didnʼt even get a chance to help them.

[I see. Those 4 massive swords are part of his Saint Rank skill. He doesnʼt have too many killer moves as I thought.] thought Atreus.

”You… You shouldnʼt be able to even stand straight after getting directly hit by mine and Junoʼs attacks.

Youʼre just cheating, arenʼt you?” asked the 4th stage saint while panting heavily.

By logic, the Light and Lightning elements were currently the strongest elements if one took the Darkness element out of the equation.

Yet, Atreus was completely unaffected even after getting hit by more than a dozen times in the past 4 hours. So Dorian was both befuddled and skeptical.

”Is it cheating if Iʼm using my own skills to protect myself?

Who says any of you guys were strong enough to take me down with those trash skills in the first place?” asked Atreus in an indifferent tone.

What he didnʼt know that every time Kahn was hit by Dorian and Junoʼs attacks, at the last moment, he used the Phase Shift skill to pass through the attacks, receiving zero damage.

And after the explosions from those attacks subsided, he purposely appeared as if he was greatly hurt and wailed in pain.

Atreus was using both his Fighting and Acting skills in this battle.

”Alright then.” spoke Atreus and made a challenging gesture to the last standing disciple as his overbearing voice reverberated in this battlefield.

”Show me what you got.”
