After standing in front of the godly being.. The young swordsman sensed a foreboding of imminent death. And if he stood in this battlefield.. Forget losing the match.. He will certainly lose his life.


    [Fuck power, money and authority. Staying alive is more important.] thought Kahn and tried to run away.


    Just then, he received a telepathic message from Ronin who was sitting amongst the million people on the 18th floor of this ginormous arena.


    The rogue subordinate ryed a piece of important information to Kahn and the swordsman was rooted on the spot despite having the urge to run for his life.


    "Fuck! Why was I so greedy?!" eximed Kahn as he instantly regretted a decision he recently made.


    With a regretful and scared face.. Kahn slowly turned his head around only to see the massive valkyrie looking at him like a heavenly being looking down upon a small rodent on the ground.


    If she were to squeeze Kahn between her fingers, he would die on the spot.


    At this moment, he felt like he was facing the Colossus titan on his own.


    But at this crucial second, the system ryed aforting news in his mind.


    [Hero of Darkness title activated.]


    "Good. Looks like I have no choice but to go Levi Ackerman route now." sighed Kahn as he noticed that the night had finally fallen.


    He looked at Kassandra who was at the center of the tiara of this godly being andpletely protected by an aura shield.


    Given the number of eyes on him, bringing out Rudra was already a foolish choice unless he wanted to reveal one of his biggest trump cards to the whole empire and raise too many questions to the point where his identity as a chosen Hero was revealed.


    Even though this empire didn''t serve any god, they didn''t have a good impression their representative Heroes either. He would be either imprisoned or killed as a result. And maybe if he was unlucky.. They''d make a ve out of him or treat him like ab rat.


    On top of it.. Albeit very weak, Rudra was still a Godbeast. Revealing him here was a no go.


    The risk was simply not worth it.


    But with Hero of Darkness title and Draconian bloodline effect being active at the same moment for the first time..


    Kahn could feel all of his physical stats and skills bing 4 times stronger and 2 times faster because of the various buffs in strength, agility and mana pool he originally had.


    "Hey, Kassandra!" He eximed loudly as he released his aura after thebined buff.


    "What?!" asked Kassandra as shemanded Brunhilde to attack Kahn.


    "If I win.. Will you go on a date with me?!" asked Kahn loudly.


    Gasp!


    Millions of people gasped in surprise as Kahn openly asked her out.


    [This shameless guy!] cursed Kassandra in her mind andmanded her summon to go all out. Kahn was taunting and flirting with her again as if this was a gathering of young men and women.


    Right before billions of people watching, the ginormous Brunhilde took an attacking stance. Her massivence stabbed towards Kahn who was charging at them using quicksilver.


    BOOM!!


    The battleground shook from the impact where the firstnce strikended. Kahn barely escaped the radius of the explosion and appeared 200 meters away on the left from the point of impact. He dashed towards the titanic figure.


    BOOM!


    CLANG!


    SHATTER!


    The battleground was riddled with explosions, crevices and ground shaking attacks and Brunhilde, who seemed to have a battle instinct of her own started attacking Kahn at her own volition.


    Kahn kept dodging and evading in a simr way when Tom tried to catch Jerry.


    In just a matter of 10 minutes, half of the 5 kilometer radius was destroyed by the Lance attacks and shield bash skills by the colossus Brunhilde.


    Kahn with his increased stats and power buffs was evenly matched which even made Kassandra and all the other saints shocked.


    Pant! Pant!..


    Soon, Kassandra started sweating from her ce and her forehead dropped beads of sweat.


    [Ah.. Just as I thought. Maintaining this giant summon takes a toll on her body, mind as well as mana capacity.


    And the more attacks executed by Brunhilde, the more exhausted Kassandra, the summoner will get.


    Good. If that''s her weakness.. I better use it to my advantage.] thought Kahn as he let out a wide grin under the helmet.


    He came 200 meters close to this colossal figure and jumped high to directlynd on the brightly shiningnce.


    And right in front of billions of people, he dashed upwards to the shoulder of this ethereal being.


    The bigger they were, the slower they''d move. So Kahn easily managed to reach the pauldron on Brunhilde''s shoulder.


    He looked at Kassandra who also red back at him and spoke loudly.


    "Think about it, Kass! Don''t you think our babies will be smart and beautiful?" asked Kahn in a flirtatious tone.


    The next second, Kassandra''s entire face turned bright red as a flushed and furious expression appeared on her countenance.


    [THIS! FUCKING! BASTARD!! I''M GONNA KILL HIM! I''M GONNA KILL HIM MYSELF!!] cursed Kassandra in her mind.


    This was the first time in her life that someone so brazenly embarrassed and flirted with her. And that too when all the citizens and all the top figures of the empire were watching them.


    BOOM!!


    A shockwave was released from the valkyrie''s body and Kahn was thrown off high in the air.


    "If you keep ying hard to get.. It will leave me no choice but to be forceful." spoke Kahn like a ssic delinquent who harassed pretty women on a daily basis.


    SHRILL!


    A shrill filled the surroundings of the arena as Kasandra finally lost herposure under constant harassment.


    "Fuck you!" she shouted and Brunhilde swung her gigantic shield towards the freefalling Kahn.


    BANG!!


    The massive shield and Kahn collided half a kilometer high in the air and the swordsman was thrown higher after the impact.


    The man in the crimson burning armor floated in the air for a moment.


    "I guess I have no other choice left now."


    spoke Kahn.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    tter! tter!


    In the following seconds, over a hundred 5 meter tall greatswords, made of 5 different elemental auras appeared around Kahn as he descended from the sky and directed them all towards the gigantic valkyrie who was also aiming tond a fatal blow.


    For the first time in his journey till the finale..


    He activated the Sword King skill.


    Stalin, the faction leader of the neutral faction also had his mouth wide open for quite some time. And after his gazended on Kahn who also revealed the impossible to them..


    "Impossible!! What kind of freaks are these two?!" eximed Jeremiah, the faction leader of the demi-human faction.


    Then spoke with eyes full of disbelief..


    "This Kassandra and Kahn... Both of them have the potential to surpass even the First Sage and the First Emperor!!"
