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.

BLESSINGS OF THE WAR DEITY

Emits an aura of Dominance & Supremacy 5 times stronger than the targeted enemy. No matter how strong or weak the targeted being is. The pressure & murderous aura will be sensed by all those who stand in the perimeter of the host. The area affected will keep increasing with an increase in the host's personal strength & emotions.

Although he wasn't given some OP system or someone like Soul Remnant of some heaven defying monster's will to accompany him on his journey, he still had the option to choose his Divine Abilities and had the time to plan how he will ensure his survival.
