Hero of Darkness

As the four generals kept exacting their revenge against Vilgax, Kahn had a concerned expression on his face.

The way they were torturing this enemy and enjoying every bit of it… even he felt like all of them had turned into some sort of sadist at this point.

[Good, good. I approve.] said Rudra in Kahn's head.

[You too?!] asked Kahn.

[I mean… not good enough!] replied Rudra as he misunderstood Kahn's words, implying that this type of torture wasn't enough.

[System, why are they being like this?] asked Kahn.

[The generals have inherited different personality traits from the host. If the host is concerned about their mental state…

Perhaps, the host should do some self-analysis.] replied the system.

Kahn felt guilty out of a sudden. The generals did take after him so he was the root cause of evil.

"Alright! That's enough. Finish it off!" ordered Kahn.

"5 more minutes!" shouted Armin he plunged wooden vines of his own that moved like tentacles and ordered them to plunge inside the forbidden orifice of the Vilgax.

Kahn quickly turned his head around and spoke…

"Why do I feel like I'm a failure as a father?" asked Kahn to himself.

Finally when all of them were done…

Ceril used one of the gifts he received from the Deity of Necromancy.

He cast the Chains of Judgment to bind Vilgax in a place while the darkness elemental chains plunged them inside its entire body.

Because of Jugram's Hell Domain, the defenses of this legendary rank creature had become negligible.

And finally, the one general who hadn't partaken in this torture session and only saw it all from the sky decided to act.

"Will of the Heavens, grant me thy strength. Lend me your wrath to punish my foes." said Oliver in his Thunderbird form like he was a representative of the sky, beseeching the heavens.

Soon, ear-deafening noises of raging thunderclaps filled the 2 kilometers radius and hundreds of lightning strikes emerged from the dark clouds as if God of Thunder was getting ready to attack.

"Heaven's Judgement…" spoke Oliver and soon, over 20 massive lightning strikes amassed together and merged into a 50 meters long thunderbolt.

And finally, the blinding light that turned the entire battlefield white as Oliver commanded it to attack the chained Vilgax from the sky and finally shouted the name of his new ultimate attack skill…

"Vajra!"

BANG!!

BOOM!!

Over 500 meters of ground was turned into smithereens, hundreds of cracks formed and the entire battlefield shook as Oliver used his lightning elemental attack that even scared the other generals and finally hit their enemy with it.

Lightning was one of the two strongest elements of reality and the force behind Oliver's attack was strong enough to crush an entire mountain under it.

A massive dust cloud arose as the shockwaves pushed apart the smoke from the burning trees.

And as the site of the strike was finally revealed… a charred corpse of the Vilgax appeared in front of everyone.

Without even spending a couple of hours…

The new lineup of legendary rank generals killed Vilgax by outnumbering it. Giving it a very pitiful death after torturing it over and over.

----------------

Kahn was perplexed after seeing Oliver's new attack. He knew all the skills of the generals but the last grandiose attack skill the Thunderbird subordinate made wasn't one of them.

"What the hell was that attack?" asked Kahn.

To his query, Oliver replied in a gentle voice.

"Master, do you remember when I flew away after my evolution?"

"Yes. What about it?" asked Kahn.

"Over that one week, I had been roaming the skies and understanding the laws related to the vast sky.

It was then, I suddenly felt someone calling out to me." spoke Oliver as he flapped his massive wings that were twice the width of Vilgax.

Although Vilgax was a variant, he was not on par with Oliver in size who was a variant of the Godbeast Roc bloodline.

"Heaven's Judgement… Vajra is a gift I received after receiving 2 enlightenments in succession." he replied in a prideful tone.

"Gift from who?" asked Kahn as he already had a premonition.

"The Sky Deity… Indra."

Replied Oliver as the shadows of massive wings covered the entire battlefield from the sky.

"What the hell? Do Deities have a lot of free time these days?" asked Kahn. He wasn't even fazed this time because of the previous surprise given by Ceril who received the gifts from the Deity of Necromancy, Velsharoon.

But he did end up wondering if receiving gifts from the deities was that easy of achievement.

First, it was Kahn who received Blessings from War Deity. Then it was Ceril who received gifts from Velsharoon. And now... Oliver received one from a sky deity named Indra.

As if having nothing better to do with their lives, deities were offering a lot of gifts recently.

And it wasn't just Kahn or his generals. What about the other Heroes? Their allies and the warriors from various empires who served particular gods?

What if there were too many people with blessings and gifts from the deities?

So not only would Kahn have to worry about being hunted by the other Heroes, but also the others with blessings and gifts too.

Who knew if all the deities were actually watching Kahn from somewhere as if watching a reality tv show.

"Why do I feel like I'm inside some story?

And these deities are just enjoying watching me.

What if I'm not even alive and just a fictional character?

What if someone is watching or reading about me at this moment?

What if I'm inside a novel?" asked Kahn.

He suddenly looked in a particular direction and stared at an invisible being existing in a different dimension.

"Nevermind. As long as they pay me for it… I'll allow them to tag along in my journey." he said and focused his attention on the matter at hand.

Kahn then landed on the massive body of the Vilgax who beat his crew to death until they freed him and stopped his endless supply of world energy.

Kahn placed his hands on this legendary rank creature and gave the command.

"Absorb!"
