Chapter 311: Being Successful

A man on fire, surrounded by fierce black and red aura that was visible in the 100 meter radius around him walked towards the woman dressed in black sorceress attire. His eyes filled with bloodlust and killing intent.

"Fine then. Let's see who's the best among us." spoke Kahn with a tone filled with dominance and battle intent.

After summoning the Drakos Armor at the last moment and using the Defense Reserve skill that allowed Kahn to store 50% of the damage taken and release it in the form of explosive energy burst just like Black Panther's vibranium suit..

His body let out an explosive burst of heat as soon as Kahn activated the draconian bloodline effect with both the drakos armor and lucifer equipped; it was more than enough to destroy the iceberg he barely defended against with those reduced stats.

The drastic changes in his stats happened now in terms of strength which rose by 90% in attack strength and 75% additional speed than before. At this moment, his defense also rose by 120% and the dexterity by 86%.

And now, Kahn was no longer under the restriction barrier and with the draconian bloodline in effect, he was basically 2 times stronger compared to when the match started.

To his invitation, Kassandra also released her full killing intent, completely unfazed by his sudden rise in strength as she had anticipated this already.

Kahn reactivated the sword savant skill and this time, the new aura greatswords shone brightly and each of them became denser and highly concentrated with his aura since they also received this boost in strength.

Kahn dashed towards his opponent and so did all of his aura swords. He used quicksilver and appeared on the left side of the opponent who was casting a barrier to protect herself.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

One after another, multiple afterimages formed as the demonic figure kept appearing from different places as he became impossible to be tracked down. And neither was his next possible location sensed even to a seasoned fighter like Kassandra.

"That technique.. How is that possible?" spoke many of the swordsman and assassins class saints of various clans and factions who were watching this match from their respective VIP rooms.

"Impossible! This kid is unbelievable!" exclaimed Ismaetrazel in disbelief as he noticed Kahn's new movement technique.

In the room for the Mikealson clan, Stronoff also had a bewildered expression.

"How can he do that.. That's basically mixing two different classes' skills. And it's even better than my Flash Steps technique." spoke Stronoff with his eyes wide open.

"What do you mean, younger brother?" asked Damon Mikealson.

"In the Flash Steps technique.. You have to follow a pattern based on the direction you take initially while performing this movement technique.

And then you have to follow the sequence to properly adjust your footing or else, not only will your technique fails, but it might injure your legs as well." he explained.

"But what Kahn is doing now doesn't follow any pattern as if the whole battlefield has no friction, gravity, momentum and there's no direction set in his movements. In other words.. He's completely unpredictable!" he elaborated.

"If he becomes a saint.. He'd have a huge advantage over all the other physical and long range classes. If he was at same stage as me.. With this technique.. Even I will have to be scared for my life."

For the next half an hour, their fierce battle continued as Kahn kept dodging and evading whilst his aura sword destroyed Kassandra's constructs with the sheer number of attacks and numbers with different elemental swords.

Kassandra was now forced on the backfoot unlike before and this time, Kahn was simply too fast for her to catch him under a restriction barrier again.

Even with her extremely keen senses, Kassandra was having a hard time tracking his new position. And taking the opportunity, Kahn kept attacking with his lightning flash and bladestorm skill from time to time which evidently formed multiple cracks on the protection barrier she cast a while ago.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Soon, not only her barrier but all of her conjured weapons and shields also started wearing out and eventually cracked under Kahn's fierce onslaught.

And for the first time.. Kassandra broke a sweat after the backlash of having her spells and constructs getting destroyed by Kahn.

"I can still fight!" spoke Kassandra with an exasperated expression as she used the yellow orb in her hand to summon a new set of constructs such as shields and walls for her defense.

Kahn quickly understood her strategy. She was aiming to bide time for a bigger and extremely destructive spell that could possibly end the match while Kahn focused on breaking through her new ten meter tall defensive constructs.

"Not on my watch!" spoke Kahn and he threw Lucifer high in the air.

All of the audience was quickly excited as soon as they noticed this skill move that made him famous even among the saints of this empire.

Soon, all the elemental aura greatswords returned and coalesced around lucifer to form a 250 meters gigantic greatsword made of highly dense elements and for the second time in this competition.. Kahn used his ultimate finishing move.

Even Kassandra felt an immense threat from this attack as she quickly cast dozens of protection barriers one by one and activated all of her defensive and damage-reducing spells and skill.

She had already seen Kahn use this move against Victor so being complacent here will only hurt her instead.

"Dragon Strike!"

Shouted Kahn as he attacked with his renowned single strike skill.

BOOM!! BOOM!!

SHATTER!!

An ear-deafening explosion that blew up half of the battlefield in a single strike and shook the entire battle arena resounded in the arena, making millions of audiences fear for their lives.

Right before everyone, all of Kassandra's barriers and defense constructs broke like thin ice dropping on the ground.

Kahn finally landed a critical hit on the number one prodigy of this empire. Unlike him, she wasn't a chosen hero or had any divine abilities.

And after fighting her till this point… even Kahn had to admit that she was indeed the one who deserved that title.

The fate of the young sorceress was now unknown to the crowd and the audience watching throughout the empire.

After the large dust cloud that formed because of the explosion finally settled down..

A bleeding and disheveled figure of Kassandra was finally revealed to everyone.

But this time, her countenance was simply too furious as she looked at Kahn with her vengeful eyes and spoke in a tyrannical and deathly voice…

"Congratulations… You've successfully pissed me off!"
