Hero of Darkness

Kahn's declaration was both a warning and a promise, his 'Crimson Wolf' head snarling as his draconic wings flared with chaotic energy.

The onlookers, including Ryuken's companions and even the spirits within his Sacred Divinity form… felt a chilling dread wash over them.

This wasn't just Kahn adapting. This was Kahn transcending.

The Hero of Space had forced him into a corner, and now, in response, he had become a monster in both form and power.

Now, Kahn let go of his previously used battle style, which was enough to win a war against dozens of saints all by himself. The Apostle of War form created by the Martial Emperor was the peak of his capabilities in every form.

Even the Black Sun which still sucked in all the mana and the world energy, still hovered in the middle of the sky, keeping the Domain of Sacred Divinity at bay and forcing the latter to directly fight him physically.

But unfortunately for Kahn, the Hero of Space was no joke either. Although Kahn completely overpowered him in the first round, and also almost killed the divine form in the second round…

The fact that the Sacred Divinity could not be permanently killed by the elemental affinities possessed by the spirits that Ryuken brought from his home world, completely changed the situation.

Sure, he could kill the opponent like he did a few minutes ago, but in the end, the titanic form would regain its form again and again.

Carrying the same strategy would only waste time and energy. Kahn had the cosmic aether enough to sustain him for years… but the Apostle of War had a 15-minute time limit.

[Good thing that I spared time during my training under Musashi sensei to cover my flaws.

Although I'm nowhere close to Jugram in using the Blood magic… we do share the True Demon bloodline effect, the Chaos Element and all the powers and skills that come with them.] spoke Kahn to himself.

[Kid… how about you use that now, the final form I mean. I do not sense it from our opponent here.] said Rathnaar in a calm tone.

[Haha ha! You're right. Undermining your opponent is a sin during battle.

So, I'll use it in this fight.] replied Kahn.

BOOM!!

It had already been 3 minutes since the new round started and Kahn had hit a wall.

Because it didn't matter if he could use a variety of his powers and even a different element like the Metal or Wind element… the opponent was not a being that could be defeated just with those.

Soon, Kahn's Apostle of War form turned completely blood red and was now infused with the Chaos element.

"The Chaos Element isn't just blood or death… it's the literal mayhem caused during the genocide.

As everyone dies… their anguish, their helplessness, and their final moment of peril gets manifested into and intangible element of reality, which later feeds the chaos.

Sadly, only those who are either born with it or attained it by themselves by surrendering to madness, can see and utilize the Chaos Element.

The True Demons or the Demonkins aren't the only ones in this world who could wield the power of Chaos.

Since I can't defeat you with what makes you unique… I shall use what is exactly opposite of everything that makes you special." declared Kahn.

But instead of exuding an even more terrifying aura or increasing his already enormous size… all the other bloodline effects and his Apostle of War mode started being undone.

Not only Kahn's size started diminishing at a rapid pace but also his appearance started changing.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Rumble!

Strong gusts of wind whirled as a massive pillar of crimson red aura erupted and a demonic being was finally revealed.

"We're born of the blood. Made men by the blood… Undone by the blood."

A harrowing and terrifying voice echoed as Kahn used his new power. The surrounding 10-kilometer radius reverberated from his peer pressure alone.

Kahn transformed into a 3-meter-tall humanoid being with the head and horns of a demon, his new and final form he achieved by training the Chaos Demon bloodline in the past 3 months had finally revealed itself.

Kahn's entire body had the red glowing aura of indescribable horrifying aura as he reached the peak of his transformation. His arms and shoulders grew dozens of protruding horns and a belt with skulls appeared on his waist.

The pristine white and waist-length hair fluttered with his chaotic aura as the demonic face revealed his insurmountable murderous aura.

"The Crimson Asura." said Kahn.

Even Muramasa, the usually black and blue blade made of darkness and lightning… now transformed into a blood-red blade and exuded mist made of chaos element.

Woosh!

Kahn's image flicked and in just a moment, he appeared behind the sacred divinity.

Slash!

But before the divine form could even turn its head…

Thud!

Rumble!

It was slashed into two halves from head to below. Kahn bisected the 1 kilometer Sacred Divinity with a single swing, without even the enemy being able to see his movement.

"So that's how it feels… the rage, the madness; and the thirst for blood." spoke Kahn as he looked at Muramasa, the blade now weeping blood.

But just like before… the sacred divinity quickly regenerated.

Slash!

This time, the Crimson Asura severed the head just by swinging the katana as a massive and sharp blade made of the chaos element passed through the titanic figure.

Again, the opponent regenerated, returning to its original state, unharmed.

Boom!

This time, it was Kahn's bare fist that punched a 200-meter-wide hole in the divinity's chest, pulverizing everything including its heart.

As moments passed, the Crimson Asura started tearing apart the Sacred Divinity from limb to limb.

[How is he getting past all of our physical and magical defenses just with his raw strength?!

Since when the Chaos Element could break apart even the Space Law and half a dozen other elements of reality so effortlessly?] wondered the sacred divinity, completely stunned.

What they didn't know was True Demon bloodline also had the Marauder Emperor skill, which basically allowed you to bypass 80% of physical defenses when attacking an opponent.

However, this new Crimson Asura form, also bypassed all magical and elemental defenses because Kahn was now using the Chaos Element in its purest form for the first time.

Previously, his Asura mode could not achieve this feat because it was a combination of multiple bloodlines and the unique physical powers, skills, and effects that came with them.

It was the best combination of what was in the arsenal. However, just like the Dragon, Basilisk and Fenrir bloodline had their perks… Chaos Demon bloodline had its own specialty.

Now, why was Kahn being so brazen and ardent in relentlessly attacking the opponent?

The answer was simple… FEAR!

Chaos Element and the True Demon bloodline were perfectly complementary to each other for a reason. Their robust and explosive nature while gaining temporary strength only uplifted and enhanced each other furthermore.

Hence, being as violent as you could was the way to go.

10 minutes later…

The mutilation of the sacred divinity carried on for another ten minutes. The pea-sized Crimson Asura was teleporting and attacking the titanic Sacred Divinity with glowing-red Muramasa and his bare fist, causing damage that shouldn't be possible as per common sense.

[What's happening?!] exclaimed the unified spirits within the humongous body.

But the sacred divinity suddenly came to realize something…

However, this time, the body's regeneration had turned incredibly slow.

"It's no longer working, is it? Your elemental powers and your regenerative abilities…

Don't worry. Soon, your heart and brain will stop functioning too." declared the Crimson Asura in a majestic and domineering voice.

Thud!

This time, the Sacred Divinity could not even get up from the ground.

Its nervous system stopped reacting to its commands, the body stopped healing and the world energy went erratic as the titanic being could not even summon a small fireball.

And because of this severed connection to their powers, all the katanas also disappeared.

Death and Fear… were the only two emotions felt by the Divine Spirits.

They didn't know that Kahn hit them with all those physical punches that also carried the venom acid.

This was a unique ability used by Rudra. Kahn usually didn't use this skill because he didn't even need to touch his enemies most of the time.

However, as he adapted to a new hit-and-run battle style where he would teleport to the enemy's blind spots, chop them off, and then use his punches to pass on the venom into the opponent's body… the results were finally visible.

Because not only was he breaking the Sacred Divinity by using the Chaos element from inside, but he was also using Rudra's Mythical Rank venom that could even melt down mountains and legendary rank monsters.

And with his new Crimson Asura form, Kahn had defeated the Sacred Divinity…

Exhibiting the power of Chaos.
