Hero of Darkness

Kahn resumed his training for a few days after reaching his maximum limits in Dimensional Shift ability for now. There were many things on his mind, many questions he wanted the answers of and various experiments he wanted to try out. 

But after getting reminded by the system that if he wanted to progress further… he would need to become a saint first as the current body was simply not suitable to sustain the aftereffects of cultivating the third skill from the Dimensional Law divine ability furthermore. 

So without any choice left.. and his next target was Dimensional Cut. 

"Details." spoke Kahn as he commanded the system to elaborate the skill. 

[Dimensional Cut (SS Rank) (Active) (Upgradable) : 

Allows the host to use Dimensional Law to merge space force with any physical weapon and skill attacks to cut through any object within the range of this skill. 

Current Combat Technique Mastery : 1%

Current range : 100 meters

Note : The increase in range of this skill will be dependent upon the host's proficiency in this combat technique.] replied the system as it passed on the newly updated details. 

And since this skill was related to physical weapons and attacks… Kahn decided to go in the section made for battle training. 

In a particular training ground on the west of this entire underground training facility that spanned for 5 kilometers in radius.. Was a special area created just for Kahn. 

And in this training ground… were dozens of giant boulders and large metal columns placed strategically in order. These were exactly the practicing targets Kahn had asked Ronin to arrange when he started his study related to space law. 

And he knew that one day, he'd definitely need them for practicing Dimensional Cut skill. So this was something Kahn had planned nearly a month ago when he gave the command. 

Although it seemed simple, this skill was the hardest of them all as it needed Kahn to incorporate the space force to merge with his weapon and then use any slashing skill attack. The range and skill was something better said than done as it was extremely hard to launch a forward attack using space force than just slashing things with his sword. 

Kahn then amassed all the space force in his body and concentrated it on the edge of lucifer and launched a slashing attack on the large stone boulder in front of him. 

SHRILL! 

A high-pitched shrill filled the surroundings but before Kahn could react… 

Thud!! 

The stone boulder was cut into two even parts by Kahn's intangible blade made of space force and fell in front of him. 

Kahn with his extremely keen senses suddenly noticed an oddity in the split boulder… 

There was no friction, no spark or any other resistance offered by the stone boulder against Kahn's attack. 

It was so cleanly cut that if Kahn put both pieces back, they'd stick together without even a small air gap left in between them. 

This was beyond anything Kahn ever saw and even his best attacks were not this precise. 

It was as if the dimensional cut skill split apart everything on the atomic level. This was the cleanest and sharpest attack skill he ever saw despite training in swords himself for more than a year. 

He was certain that even someone like Stronoff Mikealson wouldn't be able to perform such a strike. 

Kahn then tried to make the next attack but the system informed that all the space force in his body was already used. 

"Ah… damn it! How am I going to practice this skill if it consumes all the space force inside me just for a single attack?" spoke Kahn in a dejected tone. 

1 hour later when all the doppelgangers absorbed more energy from the peak saint's core and transferred it to Kahn, he changed the target and this time.. It was one of the metal columns. 

Kahn made another attack with dimensional cut and this time too, the target was cut in two parts without any resistance. 

"Holy shit! This skill can kill a saint! No barrier, shield or any form of defense can work against this skill!" exclaimed Kahn in bewilderment. 

Because even the metal column was finely cut to the point that one wouldn't even notice the difference if the gravity didn't make the broken parts fall apart. 

This skill was even stronger and deadlier than the dark lightning strike that was made from both darkness and lightning elements, two of the strongest and most destructive elements in existence. 

Yet the Dimensional Cut was miles ahead than them both collectively. The only downside was his range was only 10 meters as of now. 

For the entire day.. Kahn repeated one strike after one hour as his doppelgangers barely managed to recover the space force and sent it to him. 

And one thing he noticed about this skill… 

The dimensional cut wasn't cutting the objects from the real world. Rather.. 

It was cutting them from the True Dimension! 

Kahn finally understood the flaw in his approach after noticing this fact. He closed his eyes and felt the mana and world energy around him. 

The very next second, however… he started sensing the space around 100 meters radius. 

"It was already given in the name itself." spoke Kahn as he slightly smiled. 

"The word 'Dimensional Cut' means I don't need to attack things from this part of reality… but from the true dimension. The one that is present in both planes of existence. 

Only then can I execute a perfect dimensional cut." he said and concentrated as his greatsword was in attacking position. 

Kahn made a similar slashing attack movement but before he could walk towards the target… 

He froze on the spot as his comprehension of the space law reached a different level. 

At this moment, Kahn received another enlightenment as he started feeling not just space in the real world but also the true dimension, the other plane of existence even without opening a void crack first. 

This time.. There were no grand gestures or anything. 

"There's no need to differentiate space, reality or a dimension of existence." spoke Kahn with closed-off eyes as if he was comprehending something surreal. 

His frozen body remained still for a few hours and finally, Kahn spoke again. 

"Because at the end of the day… Everything is part of the same equation. 

Everything in existence… life, death, state of matter, mana and world energy is… 

Part of Unity." said Kahn with closed eyes as he came to realize the fact of the universe itself. 

Schrrooosh!! 

But before he could elaborate further… the system sent a notification in his mind. 

[Congratulations to the host for successfully becoming a Grandmaster in Space Law!]
