Hero of Darkness

A ene of dread and ominou feeling pread around the entire floor a the dungeon bo whoe true appearance wa till clouded in moke and hundred of flickering lightning bolt while revealing only it eye.

But after it revealed it intention to toy around with Kahn firt intead of killing him on the pot… Rathnaar uddenly commanded Kahn to let him take over hi body. Hi majetic and overbearing tone hinting that he wouldn't take a No for an anwer.

[And why the hell would I do that? You trying to pull omething here, you batard?] refuted Kahn.

The ituation wa already dire and he couldn't even move hi body but now, Rathnaar uddenly wanted to aume control.

[I aid let me take over your body for a while and I'll do the talking. If you want to leave thi dungeon alive that i.] he poke in an overbearing tone.

Kahn argued for a few econd but eventually, he complied and allowed the ytem to temporarily give control to the peak aint.

BOOM!!

Suddenly, a majetic and tyrannical golden aura burt out from Kahn' body.

Unlike hi uual Black and Red one… thi Golden aura belonged to the Peak Saint.

In the following moment… Kahn' entire aura changed and he broke through the intangible force of the floor bo.

Kahn' entire mannerim changed and intead of being a frightened and cautiou peron, hi epreion turned la and authoritative.

"It' been a while. What are you doing inide the Elven Empire intead of your own?" aked Rathnaar in a kingly tone, howing no ign of fear on hi countenance.

At thi moment, he diplayed a temperament of a upreme being that tood on the equal tanding with the dungeon bo.

The dungeon bo himelf wa quickly taken aback. It gave a upiciou look at Kahn… now Rathnaar.

"You… Who are you? You're not that human child from before.

And how do you know who I am?" aked the enormou being that wa veiled in moke and lightning.

Swooh!

Suddenly, a golden throne appeared behind and the peak aint, who wa now in charge and he caually at and leaned on it while folding hi right leg over the left one.

He reted hi right hand on the armret and revealed an indomitable countenance.

"I it that urpriing? Well, I am bound to thi new Hero of Darkne via a Soul-Oath.

And we have met each other before." reponded Rathnaar nonchalantly.

"Nonene! You're lying.

I hould be dead to the outide world. On top of it… there are only a few people who know my true form to even recognize me." queried the dungeon bo while glaring at Rathnaar furiouly, not believing the firt emperor of the Rako Empire.

"Hmm… I didn't know your kin lot their memorie with old age jut like u human.

Beide… You've become much weaker than before.

There wa a time when both of u were equally matched." poke Rathnaar a if he wa ome ort of mafia bo dicuing a territorial dipute.

"Seriouly, who are you?!

I do not recall a human being familiar with me, much le being a trong a me." raged the dungeon bo and the urrounding dark cloud tarted becoming wilder.

"Katvabaan." aid the emperor.

"Should be 1100 year now ince we lat met in Katvabaan." poke Rathnaar with a viible hamele grin.

"Svatlforkin." Rathnaar poke a name, leaving no hint.

[What the hell are you talking about old man?] Kahn yelled again, having no clue or any control over thi ituation.

But a oon a he poke that name… the Dungeon Bo' glowing red eye turned wrathful.

BOOM!!

The very net econd, a tremendouly detructive blue aura hot toward their group.

BANG!!

A maive eploion occurred and the nearby 3 kilometer of the region wa imply pulverized.

Sizzle!

Sizzle! <ub> </ub>

However, a maive golden dome that had encapulated their bodie and freed Kahn' ubordinate revealed itelf a their bodie were completely unharmed.

[What are you doing, old man?! You're angering it for no reaon!] houted Kahn from the inide.

[Shut up, you little twat! Let adult do the talking.] rebuked Rathnaar and maintained a carefree appearance.

[I'm uing ome of my Soul Eence to protect you and your ubordinate. But it won't lat for long.] he iterated and continued.

Thi wa indeed the truth. If Rathnaar wan't uing a fraction of hi own oul eence, Kahn and the company would've been intantly obliterated into nothingne jut like how the dungeon bo killed Ervalen, the Hero of Life in jut a ingle moment.

"Rathnaar Whitlock! So it' you, you batard!!

I'll kill you, you impertinent and vile vermin!!

You hall know my vengeance after a millennium!!" bellowed the Dungeon bo, it voice ending hockwave in the entire floor.

"Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha haha!"

But intead of feeling threatened or worried… Rathnaar tarted laughing a if he heard a joke.

"It took me a while to figure it out. But thi formation…" he gazed around the hundred of archaic magic formation that were dozen of kilometer on their own and were tacked on each other in variou place and angle.

"Someone ealed you with the Makaanavir Formation… the Commandment of Fellowhip, didn't they?" he aked nonchalantly in a mocking tone.

"To ee that you, of all powerful enemie I once faced, would be caged and ealed like thi for a millennium… I can barely contain my laughter.

Ha ha ha ha!" aid Rathnaar and tarted laughing hyterically, adding more alt to the wound.

Kahn, who wa in the backeat, quickly aked the peak aint…

"Do you know who thi i?"

"Ye, I do." reponded Rathnaar a he kept leaning on hi throne without a worry.

"Kid… Do you remember the time when Throk Oakenhield wa done forging your gear?

And during our converation, I told you that I killed one to forge my word.

That wa hi couin. One of the 5 who were the tronget of their kind." revealed Rathnaar about how he knew thi dungeon bo and what kind of hitory they had.

"Do you mean he i a…"

But before he could peak, Rathnaar interrupted Kahn.

"He… in't omeone who hould be eiting in the Zivot Empire. Rather, the tronget empire in the world where he hould be reigning like an undiputed monarch."

Rumble!!

Finally, the moke urrounding the dungeon bo pread puhed around, urrounding the entire 5 kilometer radiu.

And a the lightning torm and the moke ubided, Kahn and the group aw the true appearance of the dungeon bo.

6 maive wing, each being 1 kilometer in width on their own came out of the dungeon bo' back.

4 ginormou black horn.

Incredibly harp claw and hind leg a big a a mountain.

A 3 kilometer long tail that wa even tronger than Rudra' entire body.

A maw full of hining harp teeth that could chomp on the hardet metal in the world eaily.

And finally… an entire body made of black, golden and blue cale that wa akin to an Ancient Rank armor in itelf.

ROAARRRR!!

The 7 kilometer tall being roared and left everyone flabbergated a they hivered while feeling the life leaving their bodie.

Rathnaar then finally introduce the being' pecie.

"Thi… I a Royal Dragon." he poke with a mirk a he revealed the real identity of the dungeon bo.
