Hero of Darkness

Kahn declared his intentions to travel to the Fire Empire named Vulcan after he was finally done ascending to the Saint rank. 

As for the main reason why he chose No Man's Land… it wasn't just because he wanted a safe place to breakthrough. 

Since it was inevitable that he was going to be detected by the Gods, he used No Man's Land forest to cover his tracks first. 

And eventually, both of the closest empire's authorities will be confused about his origin and no one would be able to guess where he originated or where he went.

Hell, they wouldn't even be able to confirm if the new Hero of Darkness didn't enter their empire first after his arrival in their world since no one even knew when or how he entered Vantrea because all the representatives of God of Darkness were eradicated 300 years ago. 

And obviously, their suspicion would also fall on the other two empires that he originated from there or he went there instead. 

And for Kahn, this was the perfect opportunity to evade their eyes till he properly hid himself and got an understanding of the situation in a new place. 

But before he made a move… a sudden voice rang in his head. 

[Wait! You're stronger than you should've been. What the hell happened?!] asked Rathnaar as he finally noticed the drastic changes in his body. 

Unlike the System Kahn had, Rathnaar detected things based on his own understanding so it took him longer to notice the additional strength. 

"I have a blessing from a Deity." spoke Kahn casually. 

[What?! You already had a blessing from a deity even before becoming a saint? 

That's impossible!] 

"Huh?! Is it that surprising?"

[Of course it is, you numbnut! No being in the world can sustain a deity's blessing which is basically bound to their bodies and soul without becoming a saint or a legendary rank creature first. 

Otherwise, the bodies will immediately explode.] replied Rathnaar in an irritated tone. 

"Well… I got 5 of them before I even entered Vantrea." said Kahn with a dumbfounded expression. 

[Five! Did you just say five?!!] shouted Rathnaar like a loudspeaker. 

Kahn then explained how he received his Blessings inside the World Boundary and their function after War Deity himself granted him these blessings. 

For the next two minutes… Rathnaar's soul in Kahn's body was shaken and frozen with surprise. 

[What the hell?!! You have a blessing from the War Deity, Kravel himself?! 

You better not be joking, boy!] asked the peak saint in a trembling voice.

"And why would I joke about it?" asked Kahn as if he didn't care. 

[Do you have any idea how lucky you are?!] 

"Yes. I managed to become very strong and survive mainly because of the blessings. You could say that 50% of the share goes to these blessings." replied Kahn. 

"Tell me… What do you know about the War Deity." 

[Tch! You really need to know more about the world's history now that you're out of Rakos Empire.] said Rathnaar in a disapproving tone. 

"It was you and your kin who barred the information about Gods and other Empires. 

I was only prioritizing my survival instead of playing a historian." rebuked Kahn. 

[Listen carefully… War Deity, Kravel was the last human in the history of the world who became a Demi-God. 

He mastered every form of weapon arts, he even surpassed the elves in terms of mastering magic.

He created so many battle strategies that even I adapted during my crusade to form the Rakos Empire. 

Compared to him… all the chosen heroes that were summoned to our world are nothing but clowns. 

He was someone who could fight and even killed one of the three Elder Dragons and one Archangel. And their strength was comparable to a Demi-God. Pa nda

No vel A feat even I wasn't able to achieve at my peak.] revealed Rathnaar. 

[All of the strongest beings in the world feared him 10 thousand years ago. 

He was also the founder of the Abyss Empire and there was a time when he nearly achieved World Domination as well. 

However, he was the most hated being by the Gods. And the only God who took his side was the God of Darkness. 

If not for God of Darkness himself ordering Kravel to stop it… the whole world of Vantrea would've been under his rule.] informed the peak saint. 

"Really? He was that strong?" asked Kahn. 

[Yes. And just like me… he didn't have any Deity's blessings either. 

But many believe that the wars he waged back in those times are one of the reasons why the Demon God manifested 5 thousand years later. 

In those times… he always offered a chance to surrender to his enemies and presented deals that would not cause too much bloodbath. 

But obviously… many empires declined. And as a result… 

Over 4 empires were decimated under his wrath. The majority of the empires of the world are barely 5 thousand years old. Other than the Dragon Empire and Abyss Empire, none survived longer. 

Well, thanks to your predecessor's deeds, even the Abyss Empire is gone now.] explained the first emperor. 

"I see. No wonder Kravel wanted to kill the Demon God himself. 

He felt that he was partially responsible for its birth in this world since his reign played a part in it." spoke Kahn as he remembered his conversation with Kravel before he was thrown inside Vantrea. 

[And after he became a Deity… he was so powerful that soon, Kravel became the strongest of them all.

He is an icon to everyone who wants to become a Demi-God. Even I admired him and wanted to surpass that legend while I was alive.] said Rathnaar in a vehement tone. 

[I thought you were the unluckiest of all the Heroes… but although you started at the last in the race; you have the biggest chance to surpass them if you use the Blessings properly.] informed the peak saint. 

Kahn nodded in affirmation. 

ᴾᵃⁿᵈᵃ ⁿᵒᵛᵉˡ War Dominance, Weapon Mastery, Combat Technique Mastery, Survival Instinct, Berserk God Mode and lastly War Deity Body. 

Because if not for these six blessings that he received from Kravel, Kahn would've died a long time ago. 

Plus, there was the Knowledge of All Languages in the world of Vantrea known to War Deity. 

This was a gift Kravel gave Kahn out of his goodwill. Which made his life many times easier till this point. 

Kahn then just came to a sudden realization that shook him to his core… 

Because based on what happened with Ceril and Oliver… In a way, Kahn was actually the… 

Apostle of War Deity!
