Hero of Darkness

In front of Kahn, stood two females. The reason why Kahn felt elated was because of how beautiful and drop dead gorgeous both of these women were.

[ O' Heavenly god… have mercy on my soul.

This is too much beauty for me to handle. And there's two of them!] spoke Kahn in his head.

In this new life, he had seen some incredibly beautiful and gorgeous women but he still wasn't able to recover from the trauma from the past life when it concerned the opposite gender.

And that was one of the reasons why he had surrounded himself with mostly men when it came to comrades or allies. For some reason… he just couldn't find a woman trustworthy and would eventually end up questioning their motives. So he had been avoiding them to not waste his time on dealing with the issue.

Maybe in the future, if he had a good relationship with a woman, he'd try to go past his psychological barrier but for now… there was no need to.

"Huh.. What a pervert!" spoke the blonde female elven archer teammate. Her well-proportioned body under the white and yellow armor was a sight to behold for any normal and straight man. Even her annoyed expression made her look extremely cute in a way.

"Hey, if admiring a woman's beauty is a crime… then I plead guilty." said Kahn in a mischievous tone as he raised the right hand in the air.

Despite the remark, Kahn was still happy because at least for this round, he won't have to fight beside men again or end up beating women as an opponent.

"Ha ha! I like this guy. He's very handsome and honest. Only if he was of my species, I would have liked to go on a date with him." spoke the second team member.

The other teammate was a female Naga Summoner.

From the books Kahn read about different species inhabiting this empire and their origins back in the day when he still lived in Flavot city; Nagas were a higher bloodline species above the Lamias.

They looked like normal humans but had snake scales here and there over their bodies, unlike the latter whose lower half was that of a giant snake. Yet, in terms of strength and bloodline purity, they were deemed superior in every way.

The naga summoner had a long green python slithering around her shoulders and waist while her alluring figure in green silky clothes only complimented her beauty.

She started walking towards Kahn, who was donned in his usual black and golden epic rank fighting gear for swordsmen with steady steps and gently pressed her forefinger against his chest.

"But are you really a human though? Why do I feel a sense of kinship from you?" she asked in a friendly tone.

[Wait a minute.. I think she's referring to my Basilisk Bloodline. After all, Nagas are descendants of the basilisks with low bloodline purity if I'm not wrong.]

[As if! She's referring to me, human. I feel a sense of connection to her as well, albeit very negligible.] spoke Rudra in his tyrannical voice inside Kahn's head.

[Oh, you woke up as soon as there's a female snake in front? How convenient.] thought Kahn.

"Who knows.. Maybe we're meant to be." said Kahn with a chuckle, trying to shift the topic.

"Hmph! We don't have much time. So let's introduce ourselves first and create a battle strategy.

The rules say the one to wipe out the other team first will win. So all of us have no choice but to fight as a team." spoke the elven archer.

"Fine then. I'll begin first." said Kahn as he sat on a sofa in the room.

"I'm Kahn. I fight with a greatsword and I'm an intermediate rank grandmaster swordsman. What about you two?" he asked after the introduction.

"I am Elaine of the Elfenheim clan. I am also an intermediate rank grandmaster archer. I excel in wind and light elemental attacks and I have learned some A Rank archery skills as well." spoke the elf girl.

Baffled! Kahn was caught off guard.

[Elfenheim… she must be from the same clan as Solomon.] thought Kahn.

"Wait a minute… How come I didn't see any elf individual in the competition before? Don't your people age differently?" asked Kahn out of curiosity.

Sigh!

Elaine sighed in an exasperated manner as if she was fed up with this question already.

"Because my mother is a human. So I age normally like your species. Happy?" she replied.

"I see. My bad. Then what about you?" spoke Kahn and then his gaze shifted towards the naga summoner.

"Cattleya Culebra. I'm also the same rank as both of you and I'm a summoner. But unlike her, I'm a pureblood." revealed the woman.

[[Author : Reference Art for Cattleya Culebra in chapter comments.]]

"Ah.. You want to say something to me, you conservative fanatic?!" spoke the suddenly riled up Elaine.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to waste words on a halfbreed." retorted Cattleya as both women came close to each other and started a staring contest.

"Why don't we go for a round before the match." challenged Elaine as she faced Cattleya's face while standing very close to her.

[Oh damn.. They are from the Demi-Human & Pureblood Faction I see. No wonder there is so much tension between them.] spoke Kahn to himself.

But instead of trying to meddle or stop the two wild women.. Kahn was still happy about how things were turning out.

Because at this moment, both of their mountainous bosoms were touching each other's. And Kahn on the other side was enjoying watching God's greatest creations in a faceoff with a red tinge on his face.

"Yeah Bwoi.." said Kahn with a wide grin as he had no intentions to stop this quarrel anytime soon since the show was so blissful.

After an hour passed, Kahn and his new squad entered the battle ring. Their odds were 50:50 for this match based on the expected ranks of the combatants.

But as soon as Kahn saw the opponent team and their gear.. He quickly reacted.

For the first time in this competition, Kahn decided to bring out the black and red greatsword with crimson veins that leaked blistering heat.

In his hand was...

LUCIFER!
