Hero of Darkness

Chapter 9: The Arrival

Yes, the War Deity. The goddamm mudafriggin War Deity. The being standing in front of him was the one who reached the level of a Demigod by mastering all forms of War, all types of Weapons and all types of Combat Techniques. Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned that title at all. If there was a Title of God of War, Kravel would be it.

As soon as Elric came to know Kravel's real Identity as The War Deity, he started looking at him differently. As someone who grew up reading books about great warriors of their Era on Earth & then later getting hooked up on War-related novels & other forms of platforms, Elric had developed a form of respect towards such individuals. These were the real men.

Elric diverted his attention towards the Blessings he received and he was left speechless again.

Because whether he liked it or not, Elric would be put in situations where he'd need to fight someone in authority like forces of the empire or even people from the church operating in that Empire given his identity. He could see himself clashing against the other Chosen Heroes in the future because they too would be well informed about the act of his predecessor, the 8th chosen hero of God of Darkness. So these heroes will
