Hero of Darkness-Novel

Chapter 461 - Unique Enemy

After Kahn and all his main subordinates reached the main headquarters of the Niflheim. The final region and the sixth hotspot of the monster tide.

After the incident of the massacre in the Berawaa region, Kahn had doubled the amount of manpower, defense equipments, provisions of the military, total resources related to war, and defending this region all at once.

Kahn had been curious and thought that after Caladrius and Ashokvatika were mind-controlled into attacking the borders by some mysterious entity… the same would be the case for the Niflheim border.

And subconsciously, he kind of waited for the news of the emergence of this region's legendary rank monster boss.

But for some reason… nothing happened in the past 1 month. And since Kahn wasn't in a shape to go on another expedition because of his damaged soul, weakened state and lowered levels as well as stats… he chose to not actively provoke the monster.

The generals had been taking turns in overseeing this region but they too didn't venture inside and pick up a fight under Kahn's order.

Because they absolutely knew nothing about this regional boss, its characteristics or what kind of creature it was.

But one thing Kahn knew for certain… that they couldn't just afford to waltz in and start a rumba dance with this boss since there was a chance that it was the one controlling the previous two legendary rank creatures.

That was the main reason why he waited till now. But now that there were just 15 days left… and both the Pureblood faction & Neutral faction had started making their moves… he had no choice but to get rid of this monster first as soon as he made a full recovery.

This, Kahn came to the current moment and departed in a single warship towards the inner region of this border with his army of legendary rank general and began his final hunt.

----------------

A couple of hours passed as Kahn's warship roamed in the deeply forested region filled with mountainous terrain and waterfalls. Compared to the other regions he had been to, this area was filled mostly with small-sized creatures and aquatic monsters.

[Master, I found it. 20 kilometers to the west.]

Suddenly, Oliver in his Hawkman form, who was faster than their warship because of his Garuda Wings skill which gave him a 4 times boost in flying speed, reported to Kahn.

Due to Horus Eye skill getting upgraded to SSS Rank, he could now see through a 20 kilometers radius when he's high in the sky.

Kahn quickly activated Telepathy Link and through the Sky Emperor general's eyes, he finally gazed at the regional boss.

"What the… what kind of monster is this?" asked Kahn to himself.

[Master… this creature. It's very different than all the ones we've faced before. I don't know how to describe it but I'm feeling like it's not even alive at the same time it's moving.

Its entire existence feels… unique.] said Oliver as he relayed his preliminary analysis.

Compared to other generals, he was the most perceptive one when it came to noticing things that were out of the ordinary. So Kahn took his words seriously from the get-go.

"Prepare for battle. Surround it from different directions and do not go all out from the start.

We need to assess the situation first.

I don't want to get caught off guard like what happened with Caladrius." commanded Kahn.

All the subordinates donned in their new armors and weapons made from the body of the legendary Invimarak nodded in affirmation.

Their warship stopped 15 kilometers away from the regional boss and soon, the main door of the warship opened.

Kahn's entourage of multicolored warriors appeared at the entrance and he gave the command…

"Go Go Power Rangers!"

----------------

As all of the generals encircled the legendary rank monster who was sitting idly in between two small peaks from 5 kilometers away in different directions… it finally sensed their presence and instantly went into alert mode.

"MRAAAA!!"

An ear-deafening roar filled the surroundings as shockwaves shook the trees and the river streams that ran in this area.

BANG!

And finally… the legendary rank creature in front of them revealed its entirety.

A 100 meter tall monster with dozens of massive violet tentacles that were as wide as a big house came out of its lower half.

On the upper body region, there was nothing but a white exoskeleton layer that covered its entire torso and head like a compact and tactical armor.

This creature had only two arms… but another arm protruded out of the elbows. So technically, it had four arms.

This ginormous creature had no eyes or even a nose, but it could perfectly sense all the intruders spread in different directions from where it stood.

[Who are you? You dare enter my territory!]

Suddenly, not just Kahn but all the generals also heard a voice in their minds.

[Master, can you also hear this?] asked Ronin who was hidden amongst the trees of a tall peak.

[Yes. The more I see it… the more I think that the Mithrans species we saw in Rakos Empire so far share the same features and characteristics with it.] replied Kahn to the rogue general.

[Yes. I feel the same. It's as if we're up against an ancient species that was the ancestor of Mithrans.] said Oliver who hovered across the sky and had been on a lookout till everyone got to this place.

[System, what is this creature? Give me details.] ordered Kahn.

[The creature in front of the host is called Vilgax. A variant species that possesses the physical and magical properties of two of the extinct species of Vantrea. Namely, the Viltak & Gaxbo.] reported the system.

[The hell! Means we're up against a…] before Kahn could finish his thoughts, the legendary creature relayed his message to all the members of Kahn's squad.

[Attack me, all at once!] it said and continued in a mocking tone…

[You bunch of weaklings.]
