Hero of Darkness

Before the Elven mage stood a bare-chested figure of a young man who had lean muscle built with an appearance that differed far from his earlier one.

Kahn's figure now looked drastically different than his normal look as if he had completely transformed into a being that couldn't be called a human.

After using all his available and battle-oriented bloodlines he had, Kahn went from looking like a human to a demonic entity.

His black hair turned completely white and grew waist-length long. On his head, there were 4 black horns; two on the forehead and two on the sides. 

Both his arms turned pitch black and blistering heat was released from them. His Claws retained the appearance of the Drake Claws and both of his eyes glowed yellow. His human ears also became longer and pointy. 

In the middle of his chest was a bright red glow as if a source of intense heat lied there. 

With the bloodline merge skill, Kahn had taken a form that included all the offensive and defensive abilities he had. 

Since the dark magic spells and attacks didn't prove useful against this elemental mage who also revealed that he knew of the space law.. Kahn was forced to use this form. 

Among the horns, the ones on the forehead belonged to the Basilisk, while the two on the sides were Drake horns. Both his arms and legs were covered in Somir scales and the claws belonged to the Drake Claws skill. His eyes had turned bright yellow just like Rudra and the center of his chest was fiery red just like the Magma Drake. While his ears turned long and pointy similar to the demonkin clan head. 

[System, how much?] he asked. 

[The host's physical strength has risen by 400% and speed has increased by 200% for the next 9 minutes.] clarified the system. 

[Good.. Save the settings. From now, we'll call it the Asura Mode. Now, let's make the best use of it.] spoke Kahn and gave a deathly stare to the Elven mage who was hovering in the air. 

"You.. What kind of monster are you?!" asked Solomon who was out of his wits. 

He had never seen anyone or anything like Kahn's current form. And the aura Kahn emitted was completely different than before. It became more chaotic and terrifying as if different primordial monsters had merged into a single entity and released their bloodlust on the elven mage. 

Kahn on the other hand, wasn't in a mood for a chitchat or monologue. He only had this buff for nine minutes even after reaching the peak grandmaster rank and hero of darkness title being in effect. So he understood that it indeed came with heavy aftereffects when this bloodline merge skill ended. 

Flash! 

Kahn's body flickered and appeared right in front of the mage in their air as he swiped his claws at the elf. 

Both swipes of his claws created heat energy blades and struck Solomon's chest. 

Bang! 

Another protective layer from his body came to be and exploded. Kahn was flung backward from the repulsive explosion and landed on the ground again. 

[How many defensive artifacts does this bastard has?!] he ranted. 

He dashed and disappeared from place to place and gave the elf sense of wariness as Kahn's figure flickered from one place to another. Even the semi-saint rank mage whose senses were far keener was having a hard time registering his speedy movements and mostly only notices the afterimages. 

Clang! 

Just then, 2 black swords attacked his back and the mage quickly created a light element barrier that protected him. But unlike the earlier times, the swords were far stronger and did more damage to the barrier as if they too hand received a boost in speed and strength. 

Kahn called out Lucifer and the sword flew right in his hands. A barrage of swords attacked the elf from various directions and he was forced to retreat from time to time. His countenance turning that of annoyance & irritation. 

Kahn who was using the Sword Lord skill directed all 12 of his darkness swords at the mage while he himself charged Lucifer for the Dark Lighting Strike skill. His boost in magical skills effectiveness helped in merging both the elements much faster than before. 

Solomon on the other hand used his elemental spheres to attack and counter the swords. When he finally noticed Kahn's murderous aura aiming right at his position, he cast two more barriers in between them.

Slash!

Bang!

Kahn slashed the sword towards the mage's location and a loud bang along with the explosion that destroyed multiple yellow and blue barriers filled the surroundings and the shockwaves from this clash fluttered the tree leaves and flowers in this mountainous valley.

Solomon's figure fell on the ground after a long time but he then disappeared from his place in the next second.

Kahn's Survival Instinct alerted him from an attack coming from behind and he quickly squatted down.

A lightning spell that was aimed for his head barely missed it by a microsecond. Solomon's figure was revealed behind Kahn. Before the mage made another spell attack, a red burst of energy was released from the demonic body as if an atomic bomb had exploded. 

"Arghh.." wailed Solomon in pain as he was thrown backward for 20 meters just from the outburst of this skill. The nearby ground was decimated and big cloud of dust formed at the center of the explosion. A third of this battleground was already destroyed and on fire because of Solomons attacks, and now Kahn added more fuel to the fire. 

Kahn just used the Defense Reserve skill that had been storing all the damage he was receiving from the elven mage's attack since the fight began. 

Solomon's clothes were completely tattered and now his face and chest were bleeding because of the living bomb exploding right in his face. 

Kahn's figure was revealed from the dust cloud and he dashed at the now injured mage. 

"Don't look down on me you damn mutt!" shouted Solomon and tried to launch all his elemental spheres at Kahn in one go. 

One by one, multiple explosions filled the surroundings and everything that was around these two fighters was being burned, torn, cut and obliterated just from the clashes of their respective attacks. Explosion after explosion kept destroying the once lush greenery of this forest. 

Till now, 8 minutes had already passed since both sides attacked and countered each other. And now, only one minute remained until his Asura Mode would be deactivated. 

[It's about time we.. Ended this!] spoke Kahn to himself and activated his final trump card.. 

BERSERK GOD MODE!!
