Hero of Darkness

Finally, Kahn and the rest found out why Aragorn wanted his own sister to be captured and also why he needed Vildred's help due to the Commandment of Severed Fate.

"Other than the caster of the spell and people completely unrelated to my old identity, I can't confront or reveal the truth to anyone.

And if the person to whom I revealed my identity tries to reveal the truth on my behalf or in any way possible; I would still die a gruesome death as it can be considered a breach of rules set by the spell." he spoke and marched towards their group in the air.

"To preserve my memories, I have been sleeping under a forced comatose spell from the past 100 years so I could lose my rank and become a 5th-stage saint to enter the Immortal Dungeon.

I came here to use the trial to control the former dragon emperor who could lift the spell by doing the most necessary things which I'm unable to do with my current strength.

This… this is the only plan I could come up with to overturn my fate and regain what is rightfully mine." revealed the Elven prince.

This situation explained why Aragorn looked like a human and had to disguise himself as Edmund Thandruil.

It also explained why he lured their mercenary group in order to pass the trial set by his ancestors and not come with the Hero's Party who also had the same ambition.

But suddenly…

"Pfttha ha ha ha!! Ha ha ha!!!

Ha ha ha ha!!" Kahn started laughing hysterically as he gazed at Aragorn.

"So you betrayed me to get here.

To get revenge because you were betrayed by your sister.

To control Vildred who was betrayed by his brothers." stated Kahn as he kept laughing incessantly.

"You got betrayed, I got betrayed, he got betrayed!

Everybody gets betrayed!

Ha ha ha ha!!" he shamelessly and unapologetic laughed while pointing both his forefingers at Vildred and Aragorn.

"Seriously, why is there so much backstabbing and betrayals like Game of Thrones no matter where I go? Ha ha ha!"

Finally after controlling his broken laugh, Kahn spoke again.

"Show me what you have to make sure that nothing will be tracked to us and then I will make a plan.

However, you will have to follow my commands if you want to have your 'revenge'." spoke Kahn adamantly, declaring that he was calling the shots here.

Soon, Aragorn explained the means he had available to execute the plans.

However, both Kahn and Vildred rejected them. Because they were highly circumstantial and if even one thing went differently, their entire plan would backfire on themselves instead.

Here… Rathnaar displayed his experience as an emperor who was also a peak war strategist back in the day. Through Kahn, he conveyed his tactics since the prince wasn't aware of his existence inside Kahn's soul, the information they wanted to keep a secret.

"Still… we need more information and would have to set up backup plans. That can be done only after we leave." spoke Kahn and Aragorn also gave an understanding gaze.

Finally… it was time for their journey inside the Immortal Dungeon to end for good.

"Wait, I can't leave this dungeon in my current form." spoke Vildred. <novelnext> </novelnext>

A 7 kilometers tall terrifying existence of a royal dragon would shake the entire populace of Alfheim.

"I shall get into my humanoid form." he spoke and in the following moments…

Hum!

Hum!

Crackle!

Crackle!

Vildred's entire body was covered in white and blue lightning bolts as his ginormous body started shrinking at a fast pace, almost blinding everyone with intense light during the process.

As the intense light finally dimmed, like a Transcendent being descending from the heavens, a slim and tall figure slowly floated and stopped on the same level as the group flying in the sky.

A short silver-haired person wearing glasses with two noticeable black dragon horns coming from both sides of his head, dressed in a combination of white and blue robes along golden patterns on the border came into sight.

In his hands, was a black and golden scepter that had an ornament shaped like a long blue glowing dragon with yellow wings coiling around it.

Everyone including Kahn and Aragorn were simply astounded after looking at Vildred's humanoid appearance.

Kahn on the other end was almost irritated, cursing his luck.

Because despite being a dragon, Vildred had the appearance of a handsome and sophisticated scholar akin to an Immortal Cultivator who could kill women with just his looks alone.

"Why is everyone around me so good-looking?!

Everybody keeps stealing my thunder!" he complained in annoyance.

"Wait… he's a Magician? I thought he would be some brawler or melee fighting class given how big he was as a ginormous Royal Dragon." said Kahn.

However, Rathnaar elaborated in his mind the very next moment.

[Vildred wasn't one of the strongest beings in the entire world just because he was a lightning elemental royal dragon.

Even my friend and my closest confidant Lezron Mikealson, who was a 9th-stage saint magician back then didn't dare call himself the strongest magician in the world.

Because he knew how Vildred was superior than him.] revealed Rathnaar in a solemn tone, almost as if he was proud of his once biggest rivals.

[Despite being a Royal Dragon, Vildred had also achieved and invoked an Ancient Rank class that no one has done in the history of the Dragon species in Vantrea.] he said in a calm and collected voice.

[And due to the combination of his own strength and this class… Nobody except me dared to even provoke Vildred or the Dragon Empire.

Although he didn't kill any Heroes, he was feared by all of them in my time regardless of how strong they were or whatever divine abilities they had.] he explained.

[What class is that?] asked Kahn as he gazed at Vildred's overly charming but still very mysterious appearance.

Rathnaar didn't hold back on ceremony and revealed the Ancient Class which made Vildred the strongest mage in the world a thousand years ago.

"The Sage of Preservation."
