Hero of Darkness-Novel

While everyone was playing the game of Political Chess and progressing in their own plans quietly; there was one person who was oblivious about the upcoming storm as he and his entourage focused on their journey. 

Even without doing anything this time… Kahn was going to be blamed for another 'massacre' of a chosen hero's party just so the top ruling powers of the Elven Empire could shirk the blame for their incompetence and irresponsibility on him to hide their secrets. 

10 Days Later. 

"Phew! This is enough for today. We will rest and recuperate for a day here. 

Tomorrow, we will go for the 91st Floor Boss." commanded Kahn as they rested on the 90th floor. 

After killing the Elder Hydra, they didn't face many problems and in the meantime, all the varieties of monsters that appeared on these floors were killed by their group. 

But now that no one was watching, Kahn and Ceril decided to use this opportunity to raise the number of their respective armies. 

Kahn absorbed the abilities of these mobs and then turned them into new members of the Legion. In the past 10 days alone, he added 50 thousand more new subordinates from varying and unseen species, all of whom had different uses, skills and fighting abilities. 

Some of them were even useful to fight in a sea-like terrain and Kahn also gained a few water elemental abilities and attack skills. 

Ceril on the other end, created 150 thousand undead soldiers and monsters instead after causing a great massacre with a maniacal look on his face as if he was competing against everyone. 

So their journey in the past 10 days had been fruitful despite being time-consuming. And finally… they were prepared to face the next dungeon boss. 

Kahn and the company had no idea that this boss was the reason behind the death of a 5th stage high elf saint swordsman, specifically the one who sneered at Legolas in front of the dungeon entrance and called him lowlife trash. 

However, the Hero of Life and Hero of Darkness had different types of supporters. The former's allies were standard and mainstream fighting class saints found throughout the world while the latter's group was filled with unique monsters that had legendary rank abilities, bloodlines and strength that far exceeded the norm. 

And with the confidence in their eyes as well as thoroughly planning a few battle strategies… 

The group entered the next floor. 

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

A vast and unending ocean filled with dark blue waters and raging tides came into sight. The rainstorm on this floor was so strong that even flying metallic ships would have a hard time navigating in the sky. As for saints… 

They were lucky that the mana and world energy was accessible on this floor. Otherwise, all of them would've dropped inside the deep waters as soon as they appeared out of the suspending entry door in the sky. 

There were only 4 to 5 stone platforms in the nearby 50 kilometers radius while the rest was nothing but cold and erratic sea. 

Rumble! 

Rumble! 

The lightning flashes in the sky rumbled as the dark and cloudy clouds poured rain all over their bodies. 

"Where is the boss?" queried Ceril. 

Kahn and Ronin both activated the Hunter Domain which expanded to 45 kilometers based on their current rank, allowing both to track and locate living creatures whether they were in the sky or the ground. 

But as soon as they used their skills to detect the floor boss, the latter itself detected them instead. 

BOOM!! 

A massive pillar of saltwater erupted, spanning 500 meters in radius alone and the strong tide rose even higher as a ginormous being revealed itself. 

A 3 kilometers tall water elemental monster with a massive 100 meter tall head that had glowing red eyes and hundreds of octopus-like tentacles wriggling around its mouth. 

GROWL!! 

The shape of this enormously humongous being that even made Blackwall in his true form look like a dwarf in comparison, growled and sent shivers in their spines with its tremendously oppressive killing intent. 

The two 600 meters wide massive and fleshly wings in its back which allowed it to fly in the sky spread open majestically and flapped consequently. 

Just the strong gales from these wings were akin to natural tornadoes that would destroy large living areas in a single gust. 

ROARRR!!! 

And finally, its full figure was revealed to the group as the Floor Boss roared loudly, challenging the intruders to a deathmatch with its dreary and tyrannical warcry.

But as soon as they saw the Floor Boss… everyone including even Rathnaar, who only watched from Kahn's soul, spoke in a dejected voice… 

"We should've given up."

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

Everyone had bamboozled and ashen expressions on their countenances as they maintained a distance of 40 kilometers, not daring to move by a single step lest they make the boss of this floor attack them. 

"No wonder we got so many sea monsters and laws associated with water on the previous floors. 

It was just a Calm before the Storm." said Kahn who was now in his original appearance. 

"Master… we have no terrain advantage or many useful abilities to use against it even if we all turn into our true monster forms." spoke Omega in a gloomy voice. 

"Yes, human. Even I can't fight it inside the sea if I turn into my real form." said Rudra, admitting his shortcomings in front of this enemy that was glaring at them from afar. 

"What about you, Oliver?" asked Kahn. 

"I can get rid of the storms, the clouds and those lightning strikes while using them to attack it instead. But I don't think it'll make much difference." said the Emerald Archer general. 

"As for me… my movements will be restricted as soon as I drop inside the deep sea." said Blackwall. 

The rest of the group had no confidence in themselves either. 

But right at this moment, the system notified quickly. 

[The host has found a variant Primordial Titan of Water Element. 

It is advised to the host to kill it and absorb its abilities.] 

"So this thing is a variant Primordial Titan in Vantrea? 

I wondered if it was a Godbeast instead." said Kahn as he chuckled. 

"It's a good thing that we no longer have to hold back since Edmund isn't here." spoke Kahn and gave an order. 

BOOM!! 

BOOM!! 

One after another, all of their auras suddenly changed and turned more potent and powerful. 

This time… all of them had quickly equipped their legendary rank armors and weapons made by Throk. 

As for Kahn… he instantly summoned the Drakos Armor while the Dragon Bloodline effect turned his skin gray, his hair long white and eyes started glowing red. 

Because their opponent was a mythical rank creature, comparable to a peak 5th stage that was very famous in mythology even on earth. 

The variant Primordial Titan they were facing was… 

A Cthulhu.
