Hero of Darkness

Chapter 661 Three Abilities

Kahn hovered in the air at least 100 meters high in the air while in front of him, was the ginormous figure of Axel who was at least 250 meters tall after he transformed and revealed his true form as a monstrous creature.

Just now, he figured out the 2nd divine ability Axel had known as Soul Eater.
It could allow the user to absorb souls from recently deceased saints to gain an extra life.

However, the biggest flaw of Soul Eater was that it had the condition of needing a dead saint.
Not something you see happening often.
This was one of the reasons why Kahn didnt choose it but for Axel it was the best choice.

Right now, Kahns team killed 7 saints from Heros Party to pressure the Hero of Fire by cornering him with their numbers and forcing his hand to give up the artifact.

But eventually, because of the Soul Eater ability he ended up empowering Axel instead.

And now Axel finally finished his transformation.

A 250 meters tall blood-red body, 6 massive arms, 2 of which were coming out of the joints of the massive bat-like wings on his back.
Most of Axels body was covered bone-like exoskeleton which had a gushing stream of blood constantly moving about on the surface.

The head had no eyes but a skull with winged ears.
On his chest and stomach was a red glowing hole that looked like it was a pit of fire.
The red flesh had more than ten thousand small faces which disappeared after he completed his transformation.

From the waist region, it was all skeletons and the last two remaining arms grew out of the monster head made of bones and flesh that appeared below the waist.

A 100 meter tall spine-like boney tail landed on the ground and shook the surroundings.
While on the main body itself were thousands of small pores leaking drops of blood.
As the blood coagulated with time, massive blood drops, each sizing that of a water bucket landed on the ground.

At this moment, Kahn finally amassed enough space force and using quicksilver, he quickly appeared just 2 kilometers away from Axels 10 meter tall head.

DIMENSIONAL CUT!!

Kahn took the opportunity to cut off Axels head with an instantaneous slashing attack that could cut through all creations in the world.

Thud!!

A cloud of dust rose as Axels head dropped on the ground.

Crack!!

The following second, one of the 7 white formations that previously absorbed the souls of fallen saints shattered and released the white orb it held.

Axel just lost one soul that could be counted as one of his lives.

[Ronin!] shouted Kahn and using Shadow Swap, Kahn switched positions with the spirit assassin subordinate.

A blue light emitted from Ronins body and he finally used his exclusive Legendary Rank ability that no one else had.

Soul Collector.

This was the ability he inherited from Vilgax who was a spirit monster.
Soul Collector allowed Ronin to steal and absorb souls from fallen enemies in battle to increase his levels and strength.

SCHWOAAH!!

The blue light formed into an ethereal demonic arm and quickly pulled the soul that was sealed in the middle of the formation.

Axel just lost one life and the soul was being snatched away by Ronin.

The Thanatos subordinate quickly absorbed the soul in his body and using the Invisibility and Phase Shift skills, he disappeared from the spot.

5 seconds later, he appeared 5 kilometers away and started absorbing the soul properly.

You bastard!! a loud and malicious voice thundered in the battlefield and one of the arms grabbed the fallen head.
Soon, it placed the detached head on the neck that had a fountain of blood spurting out.

In front of everyone, the head returned to its previous appearance and there wasnt even a single trace left.

[So he has some kind of instant regeneration ability.] analyzed Kahn from a distance.

Good.
Now youve infuriated me.
Lets see how you can survive against my army then.
spoke Axel and from his six arms, numerous blood droplets were flung in the nearby 10 kilometer radius.

Kahn and the group quickly retreated and stood away from this shower of blood as a precaution.

HOWL!!

ROAR!!

SKRAA!!

WHRRAAA!!

SCREECH!!

One after another, multiple roars and warcries filled the surroundings as hundreds of thousands of monstrous creatures that none of them had ever seen before started coming to life from every single drop of blood that was thrown off from Axels palms.

[Holy mother of Alucard is he creating all these soldiers from his blood?

How many people did this bastard kill to summon so many monsters?] wondered Kahn and tried to remember if this was anything familiar.

[Wait thats the Blood Monarch divine ability!] just then, Rathnaar exclaimed in Kahns mind.

[I have fought a hero who could use this skill.

The user of this divine ability can create monsters just from a single drop of blood.
The more blood they have stored in their bodies the more blood monsters they can create.] he explained.

[Dammit! Youre right.
I saw this one too.
But there was a limit due to the amount of blood one can hold because of their species.

But for Axel who isnt a human and eats the flesh of others and probably drinks their blood too this is a perfect choice.

However, thats not all.
You might not know this old man; one of the hidden effects is that if an enemy is killed by his blood monsters; he can use their blood to create more monsters of the same quality.

It gives him an absolute advantage in a large-scale battle.

Added with his saint rank, enormous blood supply and regeneration abilities This guy has an endless supply of a monster army.] said Kahn and a grim expression appeared on his face.

Back then, Kahn didnt choose it because it had to be the persons own blood and the stronger he was, the collective strength each soldier will have.

This divine ability heavily relied on the users own blood quantity.
This was unfavorable for many but given Axels species, whatever it was called it was tailor-made for him.

No wonder he didnt use this skill before in his human appearance.
Only his original form has that much amount of blood to create this endless army.

With this revelation, Kahn and the group found out about 3 of Axels divine abilities.

However, their group wasnt afraid of the enemy.

So what if he has an endless supply of army? We arent lacking on our own either.

A dubious plan formed in Kahns mind and he spoke loudly, inviting two of his hard hitters.

Ceril and Armin! Its time for you to take the stage.
