Hero of Darkness

A LEGENDARY RANK MONSTER.

Just three kilometers far from the tall peak, walked a 20 meters height monster whose every step shook the ground and left everything in the surrounding; let it be dense trees or massive boulders asundered.

Just from the appearance alone, one could tell that this creature was definitely a legendary rank beast. And the amount of mana and world energy amassed in its body left Kahn speechless because it was at least twice that of a saint rank individual.

"If I'm not wrong… it's at least level 300 based on the aura alone. Means in comparison, it's around the same strength as a second stage saint." said Kahn as he was still bewildered and amazed.

Everywhere this legendary monster stepped, the place turned into a deep pit and the width of its hooves was more than enough to squash 10 people into meat paste together.

"We need to be careful and stay hidden as much as we can." ordered Kahn to all the subordinates.

"Master.."

Just then, Oliver tried to speak.

"Okay. Go test it out. And if it chases you, go in a different direction." replied Kahn as he understood what Oliver wanted to suggest.

The next second, Oliver launched himself into the air like a fighter jet and left only a strong shockwave in his wake.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Oliver then flew at the supersonic speed, creating a sonic boom every time he sped up and in just 20 seconds, he reached close to this legendary monster nearly 50 meters above it.

However, instead of getting alarmed, the monster kept walking carefreely despite noticing this new intruder as if it simply didn't care at all.

Oliver then activated his Arrowstrom skill and soon, more than a hundred large spear-sized arrows made of four different elements appeared around him.

Without even wasting a second, he launched a volley of attacks on this seemingly lazy legendary rank monster with his various archery and bloodline skills.

BOOM!!

A loud explosion noise filled this canyon and every other creature in the five kilometer radius heard the noise.

However, as the sight became clear… not just Oliver but even Kahn and the subordinates on the peak had their jaws dropped on the ground. Because…

Nothing!

The legendary monster wasn't harmed in any way. Forget bleeding, there wasn't even a small scratch on its hide.

Even the lightning elemental arrows couldn't get past the defense or zap the monster. It was as if the hide of this monster was harder than diamond itself.

"Get back!!" commanded Kahn to Oliver telepathically using Hive Mind skill and ordered the subordinate to return before the monster attacked him.

5 minutes later, Kahn sent a batch of thousand fodder monsters from his new arsenal and they swarmed around the monster from 2 different sides.

ROAAARRR!!!

However, this time… the now alerted monster simply roared loudly and thousands of monsters were thrown high in the air just from the shockwaves.

But those who stood close in 100 meters radius were instantly shredded on the spot from that extremely high-intensity roar. The trees and large rocks were no exception to this.

Even the peak Kahn was standing on 3 kilometers away, shook with tremors as if there was an earthquake.

"Too powerful! If any one of us was there… we'd probably be dead too. That sound amplification skill is more than enough to kill thousands of soldiers in a battle." spoke Kahn as he quickly analyzed the situation.

"The sound, intensity and vibrations are too strong to be ignored." he said.

"Even if all of us gathered together… forget killing it.. We'd be dead even before coming 100 meters close to it." he iterated as soon as he grasped the situation.

"Then how do we kill it? That ability of this monster is simply too terrifying.

I don't think even my corrosion acid will be able to melt through its skin easily." spoke Rudra inside Kahn's mind.

"You got any ideas ?" asked Kahn to Ronin.

"Without a proper distraction, there's nothing we can do." spoke Ronin as he too was awed by the ultimate defense and flawless offense skills of this legendary beast.

They were lucky that their position wasn't revealed to it even now.

"Yes. And we can't even use the warship here. Not only it won't be able to kill it before the beast runs away… that roar skill might split open our warship instead. So there's only one weak point I can see." spoke Kahn.

He pointed his fingers towards the figure of this ginormous beast and stopped close to its head.

"The eyes." he spoke with a firm gaze.

While all the other generals tried to come up with a suggestion… an idea suddenly came into his mind.

[I guess I have to go Empire Strikes Back on it.] thought Kahn with an insidious smile on his face.

"This situation demands me to make some necessary sacrifices. So who wants to lead?" asked Kahn to his loyal subordinates who'd even die for their master without a second thought.

"Ah.. The weather is nice today." spoke Omega as he suddenly looked the other way.

"It sure is. The beauty of nature at its best." said Jugram as he averted his eyes.

"The great winds are calling out to me. Farewell everyone.." said Oliver as he flapped his wings.

Ronin on the other end simply made a peace sign and disappeared into thin air.

"Ah… these traitors." spoke Kahn as his chest felt like something sharp stabbed him in the heart.

All the subordinates had come to value their lives a lot these days despite knowing that he could resurrect them again. And the main reason being that they were afraid of losing their powers and sentience as intellectual beings in case they died. But most importantly… they all cherished their armors and weapons that'd be destroyed in the process based on what they saw before.

"Alright, you punks! Gather around. I know a way." spoke Kahn with a constricted face.

He then elaborated a plan and assigned roles to all of them.

"I refuse!!" shouted Rudra in his head.

"Hey, prove yourself useful... you freeloader! Unlike them, you don't even work to earn all those SS Rank mana cores I feed you everyday." rebuked Kahn.

"Still, how dare you ask of a mighty being like me to do such a disgraceful task?! Completely unacceptable!" retorted Rudra.

"So you're only good at hissing from behind? This snake should be only good for house decorations." mocked Omega.

Soon, other subordinates start trolling Rudra.

"These pests!" shouted Rudra with an infuriated tone.

"Stop being so hard to get. You only have to appear for a few seconds." interjected Kahn.

"Fine! Just make sure to do your part on time. I don't want to die because of your incompetence." replied Rudra.

And after everything was agreed upon, all the subordinates spread in different directions and Kahn released all the members of the Legion force.

An hour later, without making any big noises, all the twenty six thousand subordinates made of mostly monsters surrounded the legendary beast from all 3 exit points of the canyon.

Soon, another confrontation started and five thousand beasts and some fighter class subordinates died just from the shockwaves of the roaring attack skill alone.

And after the monster stomped on the ground, it created dozens of cracks which changed the terrain of the battlefield disadvantageous.

Kahn on the other was sharing his vision with Oliver and finally noticed a key factor through the eyes of the flying general.

The shockwave ability used by this legendary beast kept getting stronger the more it was attacked by Kahn's army.

"So that's how it was. It's absorbing all the energy from different attacks landing on its body and then using it to create that shockwave roar skill.

So I'm basically empowering my enemy." he said after noticing the flow of mana and world energy in the monster's body. After he became a grandmaster in space law.. Kahn's sensing ability became even more terrifying than a mage for some reason.

Kahn then ordered them to stop and retract their battalions. He commanded Oliver to create a distraction from the air.

And while the monster attacked Oliver who flew very high in the air but was out of reach of that roaring skill, suddenly, a void crack opened under the massive figure of this legendary beast.

"Do your thing." spoke Kahn.

"Tch! Fine!"

Swoosh!!

Before the monster could even sense anything, a massive body of a black basilisk suddenly appeared out of nowhere and quickly entangled itself around the legs of this legendary monster.

Kahn was using Rudra.. A mythical rank monster with the bloodline of the Godbeast Basilisk as a…. Rope!

BOOM!!

The ginormous body of the beast fell on the left side of the canyon as Rudra tied it up.

"Now!" spoke Kahn and the next second, Rudra's massive slithering figure turned into a shadow mixed with Kahn's body.

The following moment, Kahn himself disappeared inside the void crack.

The fallen beast quickly released its sonic cry that could kill the basilisk and a loud screech filled the canyon.

SCHREECH!

SHATTER!!

The entire surrounding area under 150 meters was obliterated and pulverized. Even tall trees were shredded and turned to splinters.

With this, the monster had finally used up all its reserves of energy to attack with that skill again.

But before it could even get up…

Crack!

A man in gray attire appeared right above its left eye and spoke in a tyrannical voice as even the legendary beast felt a threat to its life…

"May the Force be with you."
