Hero of Darkness

After Kahn's longcoat fell off and his ripped abs, broad shoulders, strong forearms, manly chest along with pure muscles were displayed to the entire empire on the projection screens, the young swordsman's manly figure gave everyone a big surprise.

Because even for someone of his age, he was extremely well built and his body proportions were well balanced.

"Let me win the match and I will give you a private show." said Kahn as he winked at the young woman.

Stunned! Veronica was stunned.

In front of billions of people.. Kahn was openly making lascivious comments in an ongoing battle; with half of his body exposed at that.

"What a shameless bastard!"

"Oye.. The kids are watching!"

"Disgraceful cunt! How dare he talk to a woman like that!" shouted millions of men in a disapproving tone.

Millions of self-proclaimed noble and honorable males of different species and races along with the feminazis criticized Kahn for his words.

However, the females varying from species to species among the audience and the ones watching on broadcasting screens had a flustered face at this moment.

"Sister.. I think I just fell in love." spoke a young demonkin girl.

"So sexy.. I want to be his girlfriend!" said a beautiful elven girl.

"Look at those abs and muscles. I want him!" spoke an old noblewoman in one of the VIP rooms.

"Kyaaahhh!! Marry me, sir Kahn!" screamed a teenage girl.

"Become my man! I'll be your slave!" a woman in her mid-30s shouted in excitement.

Contrary to other people's opinions'¦ the ladies gang had a different perspective as millions of them lusted after Kahn's body together.

Kahn was doing a shameless fanservice for his female fans.

[Ah'¦ why is my audience base is full of horny people?] asked Kahn himself as he let out a sigh.

[[Author : Same buddy. I wonder the same.]]

Veronica also recovered her flustered expression and then her eyes also turned hateful towards Kahn again.

Because from the beginning till now, he really hadn't treated her as an equal. Rather made banters, looked down on her and now made sleazy remarks in front of the public.

Not just her but most of the Mikealson clan members were also infuriated at this point.

Instead of fighting like an honorable warrior with his skills and strength'¦ Kahn acted like a local thug who even harassed women openly. Completely opposite of what one would expect from a young and talented genius who became a peak grandmaster at such a young age.

"Commoner trash will always be commoner trash. He has no nobility in his conduct." spoke Isaac in the VIP room.

However, Stronoff had a different opinion as he spoke in a stern and deep voice.

"The powerful do not need to put up a pretense in front of others. And neither do they care.

And this guy'¦ he's good at getting inside his enemy's head.

From the first words he spoke till now.. He's making my daughter lose her composure." spoke Stronoff as if he was not worried about his daughter in the battle ring.

"I just hope she can see through his antics and not get led by the nose. Because so far.. He hasn't even attacked her properly. So we shouldn't look down on him." spoke the number one swordsman of the empire as he keenly paid attention to the match.

Kahn, who was currently engaged in a fierce battle with Veronica, had a calm mind despite being pushed around by the young swordswoman.

Just like her father said, it was Kahn's plan from the beginning. He wasn't a shining white knight who cared about public opinion or wanted to make a good impression on the audience.

The more people hated him, the better. Because that way, he'd get filthy rich as the betting odds would be against him.

Clang! Clang!

Veronica's feet stumbled as Kahn shoved her again.

"Hey, rascal! Why don't you attack me as well? The 10 minutes have passed already. So stop hiding and fight like a man." said Veronica.

"Ah.. But I'm scared of hurting such a pretty and delicate girl like you. What kind of man I would be if I hit such a beauty?" he replied in a prideful and noble tone.

[This! Fucking! Bastard!] cursed Veronica and next moment.. Her body leaked a deathly aura that quickly filled the battle ring.

And just in 10 seconds.. Her aura coalesced together and now in front of the entire audience and Kahn.. Stood 5 Veronica identical to each other.

[That.. I guess she isn't just a talk. Her speed is so fast that she can create identical copies and afterimages to this degree.

I've really struck gold.] thought Kahn as a sinister smile. Appeared on his face.

"You have successfully angered me. Don't think I'll go easy on you from now!" shouted Veronica and in a flash, all her copies also disappeared from the spot.

"Fine then. I guess I'll stop playing around." replied Kahn and then the next moment, he too disappeared from his spot.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Swoosh!

Bang!

Before the audience could even register anything..

Sudden outbursts of loud sword strikes and then flickers of sparks filled the battlefield and the most terrifying part was that even the audience or the projection screens could barely see white and black flashes clashing against each other in microseconds and then appeared at a different spot.

Kahn had finally activated all of his speed, attack and strength enhancing abilities and currently.. He was just as fast as Veronica.

He evenly matched her speed and agility while their attacks filled the entire battlefield with shockwaves and sparks of swords clashing.

BOOM!!

Veronica's aura swords that were hovering in the air attacked the ground and loud explosions of fire, water, wind and lightning strikes shook the battlefield with their multicolored bursts.

"You arrogant bastard! I'll crush down that fake pride of yours." spoke Veronica as her figure appeared on the other end of the ring.

Kahn suddenly appeared on the other end with a grin on his face and finally, he too started commanding his aura blades to attack the agile opponent.

"You see.. The difference between you and me isn't just about levels or our combat techniques." he said with a tyrannical voice and gave a death stare to the opponent as if he finally had enough of entertaining her and spoke in a grim tone.

"The fact that you consider yourself as an equal to me, is being arrogant in itself."
