Hero of Darkness Chapter 678: Hero vs Hero

Chapter 678: Hero vs Hero

Kahn removed all his previous skills, weapons, armor and battle modes just to start with a clean slate as he activated Aura Mode after a long time. This was a form where he could mix and utilize the most effective and prominent bloodlines and their particular skills absorbed to this day. And now, a newly transformed and upgraded version of the Asura Mode appeared in front of everyone on this battlefield.

Was there a way to kill Axel using different combinations and techniques at this point?

There could be a way but the Hero of Fire had already received immunity against hundreds of such ways to die and even one common factor was enough to waste their whole efforts just because Kahn acted overconfident. Hence, he decided to use only new and different ways their crew hadn't used before because the clock was ticking and they couldn't risk waiting till any reinforcements from the Church arrived.

[System, how strong am I with all the bloodline effects and physical buffs that come with them?] asked Kahn to his guide interface.

[The host is now comparable to a peak 3rd stage saint because of the enhancements received from Dragon, Basilisk, Primordial t.i.tan, Fenrir, True Demon and Invimarak bloodline.

All the Stats have been increased by 500% for 1 Hour.] reported the system.

"Good. It's more than my previous expectations. I thought it'd give me a buff up to 3 times only. I guess the quality of bloodline from G.o.dbeasts is indeed worthy of its reputation." he said to himself.

Next, Kahn diverted his challenging gaze at Axel and spoke loudly…

"Axel! You asked me to fight with you one on one before. Don't tell me you're afraid now." he said with a contemptuous gaze.

"This b.a.s.t.a.r.d… Do you still think you can kill me even now after I've turned invincible?

Let's have it then. I'll give you the most horrible and gruesome death." responded the Hero of Fire with confident eyes. He no longer feared Kahn or his group in the slightest because Death Absolution had made him invulnerable to everything Kahn and his group could do.

Axel also unsummoned his red and black armor since Kahn was now also barechested, both half-naked men with ripped and bulging muscles floated 2 kilometers away from each other.

Crackle!

Crackle!

Before everyone, Axel's arms turned into boney claws and multiple white horns grew on his head and shoulders as he too activated his bloodline and received a buff in his physical strength.

BOOM!!

BOOM!!

A black and red aura exploded from Kahn's body while a dark red aura exuded from Axel.

Swoos.h.!.+

BANG!!

In just a second, both chosen heroes clashed against each other, their clawed fists clas.h.i.+ng against each other, sending shockwaves in the surrounding 1 kilometer radius just with a single strike.

Axel's blood-red boney fist struck against Kahn's black dragon-clawed fist as both gave each other a hateful gaze.

Kahn quickly grabbed Axel's left arm and pulled him closer.

Crack!

His fish made an uppercut punch with right arm and struck Axel's jaw, disorienting him instantly. But before the latter could even recover, Kahn quickly squatted, swinging his left fist towards Axel's ribcage.

Dhang!

Crack!

Axel was thrown 1 kilometer away, just a single punch from Kahn cracked his ribcage and broke 2 bones while the sonicbooms from the impact shook two kilometers of the decimated battlefield.

Axel on the other end had a dislocated jaw, but soon… a surge of blood spread across it and started repairing and healing the damage at a rapid pace.

[So he too has rapid regeneration ability because of his bloodline. Well, I gotta get rid of it soon so I can kill him.] thought Kahn and his figure flashed, appearing only a few meters away from Axel who had put on a guard with spiky and boney arms.

Swoos.h.!.+

But before Kahn could make another move, a bone from Axel's right arm shot itself towards Kahn's head, instantly breaking the sound barrier.

Kahn tilted his head in time but could feel the strength and lethality from the spike he just dodged in time.

Axel appeared above Kahn and made a joint fist attack.

Flicker!

Kahn's entire figure flickered and he evaded this attack in a microsecond.

BOOM!!

Axel's body landed on the ground, a 500 meter wide hole dug in the ground just from the impact of his fists that would've easily broken a few of Kahn's bones had he not dodged it.

Even a bystander like Venessa could tell that every single swing and punch both men hurled at each other had the strength to destroy a mountain… This was nothing but a compet.i.tion between raw power.

"Are you blind? I'm here you moron!" bellowed Kahn as he looked down on Axel from the sky.

Axel had bloodshot eyes and quickly lunged at Kahn, shattering the ground below him as he jumped in his enemy's direction.

Soon, another exchange of fists and kicks started, each time a hit landed, the other party was flung 2 to 3 kilometers away from the impact.

Crack!

Kahn twisted and broke Axel's left arm and headb.u.t.ted him, sending him flying. Meanwhile, his claws had dug into the arm and a small as well as unnoticeable yellow liquid had spread from the tips of his claws.

Huff!

Huff!

Axel repositioned his footing after getting thrown 3 kilometers away.

"This f.u.c.ker!!" shouted Axel in an infuriated voice because although Kahn wasn't killing him… he was still beating Axel like a toddler fighting against a special ops soldier despite having more strength than the former.

But because of his anger, Axel hadn't realized what Kahn's main intention was.

The yellowish liquid oozing out of Kahn's claw tips was actually the legendary rank monster Bjormngandur's neurotoxin venom. Little did Axel know that during each exchange of moves, Kahn was scratching him here and there and poisoning him.

30 MINUTES LATER.

"Ora! Ora Ora Ora!"

Shouted Kahn as he was beating Axel thoroughly because ten minutes ago, the neurotoxin venom had finally affected Axel's regeneration ability as well as affected his movement.

The neurotoxin venom wasn't made by some manufacturing company rather it belonged to a legendary rank monster, a descendant of the G.o.dbeast Basilisk itself. Thus, even Axel's bloodline failed to form natural immunity against it.

Rip!!

"Arrghh!!"

Kahn's dragon claw ripped apart half of Axel's face as the latter screamed in pain.

Despite using several of his strength-enhancing innate abilities, Axel's nervous system no longer responded to himself while Kahn was thras.h.i.+ng him with a grin on his face.

BANG!!

Axel's figure clashed on the open ground after Kahn punched him in the chest, cracking his bones again.

Swoos.h.!.+

Kahn suddenly appeared in front of Axel's haggard and pitiful figure. He quickly stepped on the Hero of Fire's caved chest as the latter was choking on his own blood.

"Don't worry, suns.h.i.+ne. I'm not gonna kill you that easily.

It's been a while since I have been creative in a fight. And you… I have plans for you." he said with a devilish smirk.

Axel was breathing slowly because of the injuries that were no longer healing. He had an ominous feeling as he looked at Kahn.

"I heard all those screams of women begging for mercy and crying in pain. You said something about breaking your targets, didn't you?

So allow me… To give you the same fate." spoke Kahn as he declared in a murderous tone. Because Kahn was going to do something he learned back in Flavot city in his beginning days. And that was…

Torturing people to death.
