Chapter 662 Countering A Divine Ability

Out of 8 times, Kahn killed Axel once by using Dimensional Cut, his killing move. But now that Axel revealed another one of his Divine abilities called Blood Monarch that allowed him to create a blood monster to attack the enemy force from a single drop of blood… a dubious plan formed in Kahn's mind.

Who said Kahn had to fight Axel one on one just because both of them were chosen heroes?

He had the advantage in numbers so there was no reason for him to play fair against the guy who was already 10 times stronger than him based on his rank.

Axel obviously had more divine abilities so Kahn was going to make up for their difference in his own way.

The battlefield was now filled with more than 10 million monstrous creatures. Each sizing at least 2 meters and all of them looked like amalgamations of various species and appearances he had never seen before.

Some had 3 arms and 5 legs while some floated in the air without having wings. Apart from their blood-red bodies, there wasn't a single thing that resembled the creatures of Vantrea. Kahn could only deduce that these were the monsters from Axel's original world because the Hero of Fire himself wasn't a human or looked anything like what they had seen in this world.

The Blood Monarch divine ability was indeed on par with the Necromancy divine ability. But there was a reason why Kahn didn't choose it back then. And now… he was going to use the very flaw that made him discard this divine ability.

"Ceril and Armin! It's time for you to take the stage."

Kahn called out the two subordinates and they both appeared right beside him, gazing at tens of millions of monsters that were being created at a rapid pace and had encompassed around 20 kilometers of radius already. Yet there seemed no end to their numbers.

"You know what to do." spoke Kahn and gave them a nod.

Both subordinates nodded and disappeared the next second. A few seconds later, Ceril took the east side and Armin took the west side of the monster army.

[Venessa… do not be surprised.] said Kahn to the 3rd princess through their communication artifact.

BOOM!!

BOOM!!

A massive black pillar soaring in the sky appeared on the eastern end while an explosion of green aura permeated the western side.

Finally, a 100 meter tall figure of an undead in a black cloak, four black feathered wings and a hood with a 10 meter tall book along with an 80 meter long black scythe appeared in the west.

On the other end, a 100 meter tall and four-legged green wood elemental creature who appeared like an embodiment of nature itself was revealed on the western side of this blood monsters army.

Ceril and Armin had taken their Dark Summoner and Erdtree legendary rank true forms respectively.

Venessa and Axel were completely shocked from their respective positions and without wasting another moment, the transformed generals acted on the spot.

Crack!

Crack!

Ceril summoned a 10 kilometers wide archaic red formation that spread on the ground and soon, the ground below shattered and thousands of undead skeletons and monsters started coming out.

Thud!!

Thud!!

And as the spearheads leading them… Ceril's Six Guardians that he created in capital Rathna of Rakos Empire, whom he also used against the legendary monster Ashokvatika in Verlassen; came to be. Each of them sized over 50 meters in height and all were comprised of thousands of bodies and bones.

However, unlike some mindless monsters… they were created using Peak Grandmasters and now because of their size… they were already on par with a 1st stage saint themselves in terms of skills and battle strength.

This is what made Ceril a formidable opponent who had the abilities and skills to even kill a 3rd stage saint.

And following the Six Guardians were the millions of undead monsters that were created using different species and fighting classes.

In a way, Axel's army was now facing 7 saints on the eastern end.

Rumble!

Rumble!

On the western end, Armin created even more Treants, Tree Sentinels and flying wood elemental creatures. This time, because he was in his true form… the range had expanded to 30 kilometers, which was basically the 60% of the entire battlefield and thus, the total number of creatures he created was twice compared to when he fought Volka just half an hour ago.

If Axel had an unending army of monsters at his beck and call… Kahn's two generals didn't lose out in any way either.

"Do it." spoke Kahn, his voice being heard by both of them through their telepathic link.

BANG!!

Shatter!!

Ceril launched his undead army that had proper weapons, armors and battle formations. He himself used Shadow Blade Barrage skill using the Scythe of the Reaper that was one of the gifts from the Deity of Necromancy; launching thousands of 10 meter long darkness elemental blades, cutting through 20 to 30 thousand monsters with each wave easily. At this moment, Ceril looked like the personification of the Grim Reaper himself.

The Six Guardians also killed 10 to 20 thousand monsters with each of their attacks while facing millions of enemies from all sides.

Armin on the other hand summoned more wood elemental creatures along with thousands of vines and roots coming out of the ground, decimating and engulfing the blood monsters in the ground while stabbing and binding them before they even moved. The flying monsters were taken care of by his own flying creatures.

The hero of fire only created an army filled with bloodlust. But he couldn't control every single one of the monsters… the duo of Ceril and Armin however, could.

Even Axel, who was still creating way too many monsters, was rooted on the spot as the battle prowess of these two was dwarfing his own army.

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

20 MINUTES LATER.

Kahn was spectating the battle from afar as Venessa floated beside him.

The well-controlled armies of Ceril and Armin were equally matching Axel's blood monster army, killing them off easily while giving them no upper hand whatsoever.

There was a reason why he chose the two to fight off against this divine ability.

Because the army of undeads and wood elemental creatures by the two generals didn't have a single drop of blood in them.

This way, Axel couldn't use the blood from fallen enemies to create more of his monsters at all.

However, there was still no way to completely suppress Axel or his army either.

"I see… the key element is the blood of the fallen monsters that Axel is using to replenish his numbers again and again.

This divine ability is just as broken as the ones I have." spoke Kahn.

[Then cut off the source.] said Rathnaar in Kahn's mind.

Kahn thought for a second and smirked as another plan formed in his mind.

"Get ready to make a surprise entrance…" said Kahn as he called out the next general who was going to overturn the battle.

"Jugram."
