Hero of Darkness

Kahn stood bamboozled with a petrified expression after he was taken aback by this sudden notification.

The main factor behind his surprise being the fact that he never knew about a Law being able to merge with a Domain.

"How is that possible?" asked Kahn and shared the information with Vildred and Rathnaar.

"You idiotic and ignorant fool.

Your Dimensional Law only granted you a pre-made domain. It was like giving you the ability to speedrun before you even learned how to walk.

However, it only had the function of lowering the enemy's stats at best." spoke the royal dragon with an annoyed expression.

"Didn't you see Romulus' Domain of Slaughter? That did so many things than just lowering your strength. And we saw only its first form.

So obviously, your domain is no different either." he iterated.

"If you were a 5th stage saint… then

I would be at that rank as well. Then I would've shown you my Domain.

Just know that a proper and powerful domain has multiple uses than just limiting an opponent's strength or fighting abilities.

Although you received a shortcut, it's barely an entry-level domain. And the only method to strengthen your domain is merging and assimilating your Law in it." the Sage of Preservation declared.

Kahn finally understood the difference. This was knowledge he never heard of and wasn't available in any books.

Obviously, the powerful people, especially those who were 5th stage saints and above wouldn't naturally declare it for the world.

If not for Vildred and Rathnaar, Kahn probably wouldn't have even found that his own Dimensional Domain had much more to offer.

System then notified Kahn about what effects did he receive.

[The host can now willingly teleport to any point within the span of his dimensional domain, without needing any other movement skill or evading ability.

The host can also oppress and slow an enemy's attack or skill targeting him by a few seconds.

The host can also decrease the enemy's psychological thought process by 10% during battle.

Note : All these ability effects will rise with the increase in Space Law assimilation with the Dimensional Domain.

Current infusion rate : 5%] informed the system.

"Damn! This is so useful.

In a battle between saints, even a single second is enough to decide life and death.

If I can slow down someone's thought process, then I can possibly reduce their perception and reaction time during a fight.

This is completely different than just reducing someone's physical stats." spoke Kahn.

Because this effect was something he had to use many different abilities separately to achieve.

But now that Space Law merged with his Domain, these became passive abilities. And it was only 5% of effectiveness. With the increase in his mastery and proficiency, the effects would also rise gradually.

System then mentioned that Kahn could go as far as 40% merging of Space Law with Dimensional Domain at best based on his current rank.

After he crosses 50%, only then he would be eligible to develop a 2nd form of Dimensional Domain.

"How do I improve it?" he asked the two ancient freaks in front of him.

"Whether it's magic, law, or a domain… Your progression is dependent on a single decisive key factor." spoke Rathnaar and revealed in a majestic tone.

"Enlightenment."

"Correct. You need a 3rd enlightenment in Space Law to cross that threshold.

It was the same for us with our domains as well." responded Vildred.

"We can't help you with that. It's something only you can achieve on your own.

Complete the 40% merging first in the upcoming months. Then I'll show you a useful place." spoke the Peak Saint, hinting that he also had a few plans of his own for strengthening Kahn's domain as he previously promised.

1 MONTH LATER.

Romulus inspected Kahn's body with a flabbergasted countenance.

"What the hell happened to you?!" he exclaimed in disbelief.

Because Atreus aka Kahn now felt like a completely different being.

Every part of his body whether it was blood, bones, veins and even the skin was in an optimal condition which was nigh impossible to achieve for even someone like him.

What he didn't know was that in the past 1 month… Kahn underwent a literal massacre.

Him being the one who was massacred.

All of this was the result of completing the Elemental Transfusion procedure for all elements.

This experience was no different than what he suffered through for the Fire element.

For water, his body burst out and froze, crumbling to bits and then erupted like a jetstream because of the uncontrollable water pressure.

For the Wind element, the kind Kahn only used in the early stages of his life in Vantrea, he once entirely turned into fog and even almost became a raging storm with his body parts, intestines and flesh flying in it.

For Earth elemental, he turned into a boulder and even his blood turned into slurry. Kahn couldn't even move in that state and felt like he was mummified.

Chaos Element was a nightmare because Kahn's mind turned frantic and full of bloodlust as he went berserk. All he could think about was killing and going on a rampage. His flesh was overgrown and his blood became as hot as lava.

Thankfully, Vildred was here to stop him and keep him sane. Otherwise, he would've gone on a murder spree.

For Wood element, his body exuded Life Force and almost vines grew from his arms and roots from his legs while the hair and skin turned leafy and dried respectively.

Then there was the metal element, the extremely rare kind.

Kahn was no different than a metal ore, with no life, no movement and no consciousness. Kahn felt like he was dying from suffocating for hours.

As for Lightning, he was turned into a charred wood and electrocuted every waking second, fuming with smoke as result.

Kahn literally underwent the Heavenly Tribulation that those traditional cultivation novel protagonists faced every time they made a breakthrough.

But unlike how those stories portrayed invincible might and domineering stature of the MC who didn't bow to the heavens despite getting obliterated while defying normal sense and logic at the same time…

Kahn's bones and muscles cracked like dried wood on fire. He was akin to a slab of charcoal that was getting hit by the most terrifying lighting bolts possible at the same place again and again for hours.

Dying was like breathing to Kahn at this point. But it didn't mean that it hurt less or the pain subsided any less.

And finally, there were the two elements that completely changed his body. Namely…

Darkness & Light.
