Hero of Darkness

At this moment, Kassandra's infuriated gaze was full of murderous intent to the point that even Kahn felt a sense of dread. Unlike before, it looked like she was done playing the pretend game and finally decided to take this match seriously. 

Inside the VIP room of the Mikealson Clan, Stronoff stood up from his seat and walked near the glassed window from where they were watching the match. 

"I already told this kid that no matter what he does.. He can't win against our Kassandra.

And now.. He'd be lucky to have his life intact unless we saints decide to interrupt." he spoke with a deep sigh. 

"A summoner, an enchanter, a magician.. 

These are just the side jobs of her main class. 

And most importantly.. She hasn't even revealed her last card yet." he said in a solemn tone. 

"Yes. Although this Kahn Salvatore has the potential to surpass many swordsmen saints in the future.. He isn't comparable to my daughter if they are of the same rank." spoke Damon Mikealson with a prideful expression. 

"I guess it is finally the time to reveal her real strength in front of the whole empire and display her true potential. Even our faction leader doesn't know of her true class yet. 

After all… Kassandra is the only person to unlock this class after the 4th ruler and first-ever Empress of the Rakos empire who died six hundred years ago." spoke Damon as he let out a content smile. 

At this moment on the battlefield.. 

"Haah! I really didn't want to use it but since you've forced my hand.. I won't bother hiding it. 

So I'll give you a final chance.. Admit defeat now." said Kassandra in her angered tone. 

"Because even I can't guarantee that you'll leave this arena alive!" she declared loudly as she gave Kahn a final warning. 

"Oh, don't worry about it. I'm pretty good at saving myself." spoke Kahn as he thwarted off her death threat. 

Although he was tired after using Dragon Strike which was extremely taxing on both his body and mind.. He still had enough reserve strength to carry on fighting. 

"Good. That's what I was hoping for. 

Cherish those final breaths.. Because those will be your last." she said. 

The next moment, Kassandra clasped her palms together and her fingers started performing some sort of hand signs. 

Before Kahn could do anything else.. His survival instinct went haywire and rang loudly like never before. 

[Warning! The host is under immense danger!

The host is advised to flee!!] alerted the system as well. 

"What the hell is this.." spoke Kahn with his eyes wide open as he saw a silver aura encapsulate Kassandra and soon, her body started levitating high in the air despite no semi-saint having the ability to fly. 

Yet, Kassandra kept rising towards the now darkening sky as the silver aura spread like a tornado and she was at the center of it. 

A protective shield formed around her body and soon, the silver and almost liquid-ish aura started taking a humanoid form. 

The oppressive aura emitted from this new construct was something comparable to an aura of a saint. But the feeling Kahn got from it was something he hadn't felt before at all. 

This wasn't mana and neither was it world energy. 

The next moment.. An ethereal and transcendent being came into existence as Kassandra started chanting some sort of spell. 

BOOM!! 

The entire battlefield shook and the audience of nearly 8 million people felt their bodies caving under insurmountable pressure. 

At the center of the head of this ethereal warrior being, floated Kassandra and shouted loudly. 

"I beseech thee to come and aid me in my war! 

I beseech thee to fight by my side and defeat my foes! 

I beseech thee to exterminate my enemy. 

I, Kassandra Mikealson.. Bearer of the Mark! 

Summon you, O' mighty celestial being.." she kept chanting. 

Her father, Damon spoke in a contemptuous tone as he looked at Kahn who was rooted on the spot under the ethereal being's pressure. 

"Even though she's not even a saint yet.. She has contracted with one of the strongest warriors. 

After all.. Kassandra has unlocked the Ancient Rank class of the summoner profession.." he said and continued in a domineering tone.. 

"The Deity Summoner!" 

On the battlefield, Kahn who saw the tall levitating being finally spoke with complete disbelief in his eyes.. 

"Holy mother of Susanoo!! Is she an Uchiha?!" asked Kahn with a baffled expression. 

Just then, Kassandra finally completed her summoning chant and announced loudly. 

"I summon thee… O' Shieldmaiden Brunhilde!!" 

BOOM!! 

A shockwave shook the 5 kilometer wide battlefield and the summoning was finally completed. 

Just 2 kilometers away from Kahn.. Stood a 1 kilometer tall corporeal blonde female dressed in silver and golden armor. Her entire body shone crystal white while Kassandra stood in the center of this being's tiara situated on her head. 

In her left hand, was a silver and gold colored shield while on the other, was a long metallic silver lance; both of which looked like at least ancient rank weapons that existed only in legends. 

[Did she just say Brunhilde… as in the strongest valkyrie Brunhilde?!

Did the world setting suddenly change?] wondered Kahn as he was still in awe after looking at this female warrior who appeared like a true goddess. 

Her enormous size, divine aura and appearance completely bewildered the whole empire watching this match as if a goddess truly descended from the heavens.

Not only Kahn but all the saints including the three seventh stage faction leaders had their eyes wide open in complete disbelief. 

[So that's what that bastard Stronoff meant that day.. 

Who the fuck can even win against her if this is her real strength? 

She's not even a chosen Heroine of any God or Goddess and already this strong while still being just a semi-saint. 

What will happen when she becomes a legitimate saint?] he asked himself. 

The very next moment, Kahn made a firm decision and spoke to himself in a resolute voice… 

"Fuck this shit! I'm outta here!!"
