Hero of Darkness

Chapter 291: Outrageous Proposal

Chapter 291: Outrageous Proposal


Kahn & Albestros stood gobsmacked on the spot after the fourth stage saint swordsman revealed his true intentions to them. Offering to have Kahn join their faction or their ranks was somehow understandable but what he wanted was to have Kahn join their clan instead.


Joining their clan meant as in taking their family name through… marriage.


"Wait.. What?! Why do you want me to do that? Why me?..." asked Kahn with a baffled expression.


Because when Ismaetrazel wanted him to join their side.. He wanted to accept Kahn as his disciple at most but what Stronoff suggested was excessively absurd.


"Yes. If you want, I can arrange your marriage in our clan and accept you as a family member.


I initially wanted to accept you as my disciple but it would turn out extremely bothersome in the long run as I can"t impart the majority of my skills or combat techniques to an outsider.


So if you were to get accepted through marriage.. I would be justified to train you myself." elaborated Stronoff.


"But why?! I don"t get it. It"s not like you even know me. And why would you want me to join your prestigious clan in the first place?


We"re a bunch of n.o.bodies compared to your thousand year old clan and lineage that exists since the time this empire was created." questioned Kahn again.


"Ah.. So we"re playing it that way huh?" sighed Stronoff and the next second, over three hundred aura blades, each filled with world energy just like when Kahn dueled with the vampire clan leader came to be and all of them targeted him.


Swoosh! Swoosh!


The hundreds of aura swords attacked Kahn instantly and he quickly used Side Hopper and appeared 50 meters away in this s.p.a.ce domain.


But unlike his prior experience.. He wasn"t in a duel this time but an actual battle.


Swoosh!


Kahn quickly summoned Lucifer back in his hand and grasped it just in time before he was. .h.i.t by the first volley of sword attacks.


Stronoff on the other end was still seated in his chair with his arms folded while Albestros had a baffled expression as if he still couldn"t understand exactly what was happening in the past 5 seconds.


[This f.u.c.ker!] cursed Kahn and quickly activated Sword King skill.


BOOM!!


Dozens of aura blades made of different elements aside from light and darkness elements formed around Kahn as he also released his domineering aura of a semi-saint and in the next second, a hundred swords were formed around him instantly.


"Impossible!.. I knew he was a semi-saint but these many swords.. And all these different elements. He can use more elemental aura swords than me!!" exclaimed Stronoff for the first time ever since he met Kahn.


Soon, what happened even caught the number one swordsman of the empire by surprise.


Because his aura blades that were infused with World Energy clashed with the ones created by Kahn and right in front of his eyes..


Kahn"s blades started absorbing them.


[World Energy absorption restarted.


Current progress : 0.4%] informed the system.


The last time when the system gave this similar notification was when Kahn had the duel with the clan leader of the Vandereich clan when he escorted Szayel to their main headquarters.


Because of Kahn"s Ability Absorption divine ability.. He could also absorb the World Energy that basically helped an ent.i.ty become a Saint Rank individual in the first place.


Stronoff jolted up in shock as he saw Kahn fighting and evading these swords successfully despite being outnumbered.


Yet while facing the weapons that were three times than his own in numbers.. There was no fear or doubt in his eyes.


And given his own talent as a swordsman, he noticed one more thing that completely boggled his mind..


Kahn was suddenly appearing from one place to another in a flash.. And this technique was something he was extremely familiar with.


Kahn was using the Flash Steps technique!


It was exactly the technique used by Veronica during their battle.


[This kid.. He"s a complete freak!] Stronoff thought to himself.


"Who… who the h.e.l.l are you?!" he shouted and stopped his swords from moving.


"That"s an odd question after coming here and trying to kill me.." spoke Kahn in a serious tone.


This guy came right inside his house and attacked him out of nowhere. And yet he dared to ask who the h.e.l.l he was..


"I already sensed that you were a semi-saint during your match with my daughter.


But that skill.. How can a semi-saint use the Sword King skill without even becoming a saint first?


Even I could barely create 60 aura swords when I was a semi-saint. And I was the best of my generation in the whole empire." he iterated.


"Plus you can already absorb the world energy from my swords. That shouldn"t even be possible." he spoke with disbelief in his eyes.


"And I taught the Flash Steps technique to my daughter. It took her a decade to master the basic movements and you learned them after a single fight? How the h.e.l.l is that even possible?" he kept asking.


The most talented swordsman of the empire was overwhelmed by Kahn"s talent.


[f.u.c.k!! I revealed too much!] cursed Kahn in his mind as he came to a realization.


By his instincts, while he faced these attacks from Stronoff, he was literally in a fight to death scenario and ended up not only revealing that he was a semi-saint but also the Sword King skill that the vampire clan leader already compared to a saint rank skill nearly 10 months ago.


And he ended up using the flash steps technique he had been practicing ever since the battle with Veronica.


And because of the Combat Technique Mastery blessing given by the War Deity, Kravel... He had already unlocked that skill by practicing during his training sessions and currently had 23% proficiency in this combat technique.


While facing the sudden onslaught, he ended up fighting with his survival instinct and not his brain. And now.. Many questionable things about him were revealed to the fourth stage saint.


"This won"t do.. I can"t let others find out about this." spoke Stronoff hurriedly as his mind was completely dis...o...b..bulated.


"Kahn.. You have to join my clan. But not as a normal member." he said and continued again. But this time.. His words were even more outrageous than the previous proposal.


"I want you to join it... As my son-in-law!!"
