Hero of Darkness
Chapter 402 - The Distraction

As soon as Kahn appeared at the main door of the 200 meters tall massive black warship and his figure now appeared in front of the troops of soldiers attacking from three different sides… all of them were left shocked on the spot.

Thanks to their commander in charge, only a hundred thousand had lost their lives but it was still a loss that had shaken them to the core. But to protect the normal citizens and their families living in the cities, all of them had let go of their fears and still contributed in every way they could.

After Kahn and Kassandra finished their talk, he used a voice amplification artifact and announced the 2 million soldiers who had been putting their lives at risk to fight against this legendary beast in this 20 kilometers battlefield in every way they could.

"Soldiers of the Arcklos region! I, Kahn Salvatore, your sovereign… have arrived!" spoke Kahn as his loud voice resounded in through the warship and fell on the ears of all the soldiers in 5 kilometer vicinity.

Those who have fought till this point without caring for the consequences… and those who have lost their comrades… all of you have my respect.

But for now… all of you should enter a defensive formation and stop your attacks. Let me do the work." he announced.

Soon, thousands of massive flying ships that could easily wipe out a few hundred thousand enemies from the sky stopped their attacks and entered a defensive mode as a thick layer of magical protection shield appeared right in front of them.

And now… aside from Kahn and Kassandra as well as the backside of the legendary bird monster, there was a thick wall of protective barrier that was a kilometer tall in itself.

Just then, Kahn looked at the Raven Sorceress and spoke with a serious expression.

"Get out of here. You need rest." he spoke to the heavily injured and panting Kassandra.

"No!! It killed our Isaac. I'm not going to stop until I kill it myself!!" replied Kassandra as she looked at the monster who was STILL attacking the shield barriers of the warships and the ground troops.

BANG!!

Just then, a loud noise occurred and everyone's attention shifted towards a man with two black wings flying even higher than the legendary monster.

Currently, all the flying ships had created a wall of magical barriers in 2 kilometers height only. But they knew that the bird could even fly higher than that.

So to divert its attention, Oliver attacked the monster with his best explosive archery skill.

He looked at Kahn and both of them exchanged a nod. Oliver then quickly flew to the left and started attacking with his skills again.

Because even their flying ships couldn't go higher than 8 Kilometers and not all of them were suitable to fight at higher altitudes given their massive figures that were at least 200 to 300 meters in height.

So Kahn ordered Oliver, their fighter jet who was not only small in size and had the largest attack range but also the speed that surpassed even the fastest of the warships.

"What are you doing? Are you going to let it go after so many people died?" asked Kassandra with a furious face after Kahn ordered the troops to stand on guard instead of attacking.

"There's no point in fighting it here. More people will die if we continue." replied Kahn as he looked at the multiple winged bird-like monster.

Suddenly, a four meter tall hybrid human who had two long brown horns and a muscular build spoke in a deep voice.

"And most importantly… it has been only toying with all of you till this point." spoke Blackwall.

At this moment, he had hidden his rank and aura to match that of a peak grandmaster knight but still, the pressure in his voice was enough to show that he was a very strong warrior.

The reason why Kahn hadn't used Blackwall from the get-go as soon as he arrived was because he wasn't an idiot to reveal a legendary rank monster in front of millions of soldiers.

"We have to provoke it and take it somewhere else." said Kahn and then looked to his left where another 4 meters tall human donned in pitch black full body armor stood quietly.

"Jugram. Take charge here and wait till reinforcements from the capital arrive." commanded Kahn.

"We're changing the battlefield." he said and walked inside the warship again.

"Wait! You have to take me with you!" exclaimed Kassandra while the figure of Brunhilde started dispersing into thin air.

"You're not in a position to fight any longer. And this monster won't be restricted when we take it to an open battlefield. There's barely anything you can do.

And if I'm not wrong… you won't be able to summon your deity anytime soon either." he spoke in a threatening tone as he had no time to waste here.

"I can still fight. I only need a couple of hours." said Kassandra and suddenly, two high-grade mana and health replenishing potions appeared in her hand. And without caring about the etiquette, she quickly gulped down both of them one by one.

Kahn on the other end, gave a thoughtful look as he looked at the semi-saint sorceress. He had fought Kassandra at her peak so he knew how talented she was even without her ancient rank profession.

"Fine then. Hop on a flying ship. We will lead it by the nose. You follow it from behind and keep a distance. I'll tell you what to do when the time is right." spoke Kahn out of the blue as he changed his initial plans.

"Do you have a plan of attack?" asked Kassandra after a small hovering car-like vehicle appeared close to her and she jumped in it before Brunhilde completely disappeared.

"I do." he replied.

"What is it?" asked the Raven Sorceress.

Kahn then looked at the monster from the main door of his warship that was launching waves of skills at Oliver who attacked from the sky. He finally revealed his honest plan…

"Attack!"
