Chapter 93: Return of the King
THUD!
BANG!
"Do not think of me as a dumb monster you lowly creature. That\'s what every thief says when caught red-handed!" growled the dungeon boss and chased after Kahn. Every step and jump it made shook the rocky ground and formed cracks as the ginormous creature was the biggest and largest monster Kahn had ever seen in this new life.
So far, Kahn hadn\'t even tried to summon any of his subordinates because there simply wasn\'t any suitable place for him to summon his army and even fight properly.
The only place that could hold a large-scale battle in front of the Magma Drake was the place where he met the dungeon boss for the first time.
Kahn knew he alone couldn\'t do anything against this boss. But if he released the subordinates here, half of them would be burnt alive in the magma that was erupting from the ground.
Kahn thought of a plan, he started citing an incantation as he kept dodging the giant claws by running & jumping from time to time. He let the drake spit another stream of magma at him but just as the attack was about to hit his body, he released the Void Realm dark magic spell.
Swoosh!
Everything in his 50 meter proximity quickly stopped moving including the gigantic drake as if the time itself stopped running in this place. Kahn dashed by its left side to quickly get past it. The spell currently worked only for 5 seconds so he didn\'t have any time to waste.
When the spell finally ended, the Drake regained control of its body, it shifted its gaze at Kahn again and spoke, "It\'s Ajak\'s skill! You really did steal his powers."
The magma drake\'s expression turned to that of rage as if Kahn had committed some sort of taboo; it charged at him with full speed and with more fervor this time. Everywhere the drake passed, small cracks were formed on the solid ground.
After running for a couple of minutes, Kahn finally reached the center of the grounds where the drake previously stood.
"Everyone, out!" commanded Kahn and one by one, hundreds of black figures jumped out of his shadow and quickly started getting in a defensive formation without wasting a single second.
His side now consisted of more than 850 subordinates and many being above Level 40. And since he had spent considerable resources on equipping them with proper gears and weapons, it was comparable to a battalion of well-equipped soldiers.
The first line of defense was Blackwall and the Minotaurs, followed by High Ogres, Hobgoblins, High Orcs and the Undead warriors under the lead of Jugram and Ceril. Ronin took the left flank with the goblin assassins & Oliver took the right with archer subordinates and the Nymphs.
Armin took the center while Omega & Kahn were in the back. This sudden emergence of these creatures even surprised the Drake Dungeon Boss and it stopped his charge.
"What kind of magic is this? They\'re neither undead and nor are summoned creatures.." spoke the drake in confusion.
At this moment, Kahn didn\'t waste time answering their attacker. He and Ronin released the fear toxin from their hands at full capacity and started filling the surrounding with the fear toxin.
"You dare to fight back you pathetic vermin!" shouted the drake and charged at the Kahn\'s army!
A barrage of water & frost spells landed on the body of the ginormous drake and a volley of arrows fell on it.
Blackwall taunted the drake to attack him and put?his new shield in the front after activating all of his defensive skills. Ceril on the other hand started launching the Shadow Blades at the dungeon boss that had so much destructive power.
Omega, whose job was to protect Kahn at this moment stood in between him and the enemy.
ROAR!!
The drake roared in anger after surviving through the barrage of attacks. But amongst all of them, only the shadow blades did some actual damage as the scaly hide was simply too strong and fortified to break through. Even the water & frost spells and attack only managed to push it back a little but soon they evaporated from the extremely high temperature coming from the gigantic monster\'s body.
"Die you insects!" bellowed the drake and stormed in front of the defensive formation. With a single swipe of its giant claws, it broke through the first line of defense and even flung many of the minotaurs and Ogres right inside the lava. Their wails reached Kahn\'s ears as one by one, the subordinates were melting and burned alive helplessly inside the pool of magma that was coming out of the ground.
The drake roared and sonic booms from its mighty war cry shook the surroundings and many of the subordinates lost their footing. It jumped right in the middle of the formation and started attacking the hundreds of enemies without any care of being hurt. It was extremely agile and strong, opposite of what one would expect from such a ginormous figure.
The magma drake swung its tail and swatted dozens of subordinates in the ground and broke many skeleton soldiers into pieces.. Just in the matter of a minute, Kahn had already lost more than a hundred subordinates by either getting killed under the attacks from the gigantic drake or getting burned alive from the magma pools surrounding the battlefield.
It didn\'t even take 10 minutes before only 10% of Kahn\'s original army remained. Kahn himself saw the dungeon boss decimating Ceril, Jugram and Blackwall in the ground and killing them on the spot with magma that it spit out of its mouth.
Omega charged and attacked the drake with shredder claws but they couldn\'t even go past its defenses while the toxin fog didn\'t do anything because it got evaporated from the bodily heat before even reaching the dungeon boss.
Kahn who was attacking with darkblade did some minor damage but it wasn\'t enough. He\'d need to attack the same place over few dozen times before his attacks even made a significant damage. His darkness barrier, the biggest protective spell shattered in seconds from the magma attacks of this gigantic beast while his Somir scales were already cracking from the tail swipe attacks he barely managed to survive from.
Little by little, everyone including Omega died by the hands of the drake as it cut and ripped their bodies apart.. Kahn on the other hand wasn\'t faring any better.
All of his subordinates were defeated.. All his attack skills including the darkblade, fear toxin and poison acid proved useless in front of the dungeon boss.
He thought that he had prepared for the unexpected.. But greatly failed in front of it anyway.
BERSERK GOD MODE!
He activated his life-saving skill and attacked the drake with all his might using his sword and launched dark magic spells and attacks one by one.. But even they didn\'t cut down the Magma drake and only made it bleed with bright yellow blood that appeared no different than the blistering magma.
THWACK!
Kahn was yeeted away by the tail swipe attack and his body was thrown 200 meters away despite defending against the attack.
His Somir scales started crumbling one by one.. If not for them, he would\'ve been roasted alive.
Just before he could get up, his body gave up and he dropped on the ground with his face & torso bleeding profusely. The effect of the Berserk God Mode had finished and now he was suffering from the aftermath. He had entered a weakened state and didn\'t even have the strength to lift his head.
"Is this my true end.." thought Kahn. He cursed himself for thinking that he would be able to fight whatever that was thrown in front of him just because he had an army of nearly a thousand soldiers. But the Saint rank monster was in a completely different league.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
The dungeon boss that was standing 200 meters away started walking towards Kahn\'s fallen body with a bored expression as if Kahn didn\'t even meet its expectations and gave a good fight.
Kahn\'s body started giving up and his consciousness started fading.
But suddenly, an alarming sound came from his mind!
[System is unable to control the subordinate! The host must maintain his consciousness!] alarmed the system.
The next second however.. A giant burst of black smoke was released from his body and completely filled the surrounding 100 meters in just seconds. Even the magma drake faltered in its footsteps as it felt a dangerous aura coming out of this seemingly weak creature.
A ground-shattering and terrifying screech was released from inside of Kahn\'s body as a visible black aura soon filled the entire battlefield.
Kahn heard an Ancient and Domineering voice in his head for the first time. This voice was unknown to him since he never heard it before. The majestic and tyrannical voice spoke to him.
[You\'re still so weak and pathetic, human!]
BOOM!
BOOM!
The entire battlefield shook as if a bolt of lightning was dropped in the middle of it.
A gigantic and extremely long black creature suddenly appeared in front of Kahn\'s unconscious body.. And the figure was something that hadn\'t appeared ever since Kahn left the forest.
The figure had two long and pointy horns.. Its eyes were burning yellow and two giant fangs came out of its mouth. This black creature was even longer than the magma drake and its height was no lesser than the dungeon boss.
SCREECH!!!
An ear-deafening and shrill war cry was heard and even the drake, who was a descendent of the mighty dragon race felt an immense threat coming from the creature that stood in front of it.
A ginormous figure of a Basilisk stood in the middle of the battlefield and stared at the dungeon boss as if it was looking at a weak prey. And the figure being none other than..
RUDRA!
