Hero of Darkness

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Omega finally revealed his new trump card that even made Azerog, who was a fire elemental warrior himself, feel dread and fear for the first time since they started their clash. 

[There are 5 strongest types of fires in the world. 

Fifth is the fire used by Fire elemental Titans which are extremely rare. 

Fourth is the fire that the Fireborne species can use as part of our innate talent if one also masters the element. 

Third is Hellfire which only the royalty among the True Demon species can use. 

Second is fire used by the imperial clan of the Vulcan empire since they're the direct descendants of a primordial creature of fire. 

And the first which is unrivaled in the whole world regardless of their rank or species… is the Dragonfire.] thought Azerog. 

He himself had studied and mastered the fire element after spending 2 decades of his life. So he knew very well how to differentiate them or which one was more powerful and potent. 

In this field, Dragonfire stood at the top and had been unrivaled from millions of years in their world. And even among the Dragons, only the Lesser Dragon and above could use the authentic Dragonfire while others such as Wyverns, Wyrms and Drakes could only have it as their physical element and that too in a very minute quantity. 

Yet somehow… the opponent in front of him was using rare Dragonfire that even their Fire Empire didn't have access to. 

"No… it's not him. That armor is misleading me… it's that damn sword!" spoke Azerog as he noticed the source being none other than Kojin unlike those without experience mistakenly thinking that it was because of the Twilight Armor form taken by Omega that made him look like a walking volcano. 

[So that's what the sword does!] exclaimed Jugram. He too was a master in the fire element. But he was adept at using Hellfire because of his True Demon bloodline. 

[Aha! No wonder he didn't reveal it back then. It could've killed us if he used it inside the forge that day.] said Ceril in their telepathic chat group. 

[Kojin is able to use Dragonfire since master Throk used a Dragon's heart while forging it. 

It allows Omega to use normal fire aura since he is a magic swordsman and can use 5 different elements. Based on need, his normal fire element gets converted into dragonfire after it passes through Kojin's blade.] explained Blackwall as the too was a legit blacksmith at this point. Just that he hadn't gathered enough experience to breakthrough to Saint Blacksmith rank yet. 

Unlike Kahn, he didn't have doppelgangers or a way to raise his experience to make it happen in a short time. But his knowledge and experience were enough to let him get a hint of the functionality of the katana forged by Throk. 

Other generals nodded in agreement, feeling no need to intervene in Omega's battle. 

"Heaven's Subjugation…" just then, Omega spoke loudly and quickly swung his katana in a vertical slash. 

[Holy flames of Hetrax! What the hell!] thought Azerog and tried to fly away with all his might. 

"Black Fang Strike!!" 

BANG!! 

Rumble!! 

Crack! 

Shatter!! 

A massive slash attack of dragonfire incinerated everything that came in its way. 

The sky rumbled and the ground shattered as two kilometers of the battlefield was split apart instantly and a 400 meter wide crevice was revealed associated with the burning and pulverized ground. 

The clouds were already parted into two just from the aftershocks and the nearby 10 kilometers of space shook as if there was an earthquake. 

Swoosh! 

[That was close! How is he able to use dragonfire to this extent? What kind of freak am I fighting?!] questioned the fireborne who just nearly escaped death. 

The attack skill performed by Omega just now made a 5 kilometers long crevice, razing everything that came across its way to nothing but dust. And the intense scarlet red fire was burning everything it touched on the ground and even melting stone boulders with no exceptions. 

However, Azerog had no idea that Black Fang Strike was a skill Omega could use only when he was using the Twilight Armor. 

This strike was imbued with his Gravity Law skills and made the attack more terrifying. 

With the dragonfire at his beck and call… Omega infused it with the attack move, making it even more terrifying than it originally was. 

He was also agility and strength based warrior just like Omega. So he understood the power delivered through that attack. 

Even Azerog now felt like his own fire attacks were not potent or strong enough as this strike and if he hadn't made it in time… not even his ashes would have remained. 

[Should I convince him to retreat? Our allies are already dead. And this guy in front of me is no weaker than me either. 

The enemy side has 6 more saints along with the princess. That's 9 against 2 of us. 

Also, the pope still hasn't informed or sent a confirmation about killing the Emperor. There are too many factors going against us at this point.] analyzed Azerog in just a second. 

He weighed the pros and cons in his mind and finally decided to make his own move. 

[No matter how I look at this… this battle is already lost.] he thought and quickly dashed towards Axel's position. 

Swoosh! 

But before he even escaped 5 kilometers, Omega suddenly appeared in front of Azerog just a few hundred meters away in the sky. 

"If you want to get close to my master or the Hero of Fire… 

You'll have to walk over my dead body." declared Omega from under his black wolf-faced mask. 

"Get out of my way! I can end this battle and convince him to leave the princess alone. 

Do you really want to force the Hero of Fire to use his divine abilities? Even I won't be able to survive them. 

There is no reward in such a pyrrhic victory." spoke Azerog with a grim expression. 

"He doesn't seem to care. And neither does my master. So as their right-hand men… we should settle our score first."

SHING!! 

SHRILL!! 

Before Azerog could react, an intangible force erupted from Omega's body and quickly, a cascading and translucent barrier formed and separated 15 kilometers of radius, matching the appearance identical to that of patterns on a diamond. 

"The winner shall get to see the end of it all." spoke Omega in a domineering voice. 

Because at this moment, he was finally using his biggest trump card. And that was the… 

Gravity Domain!
