Hero of Darkness

Chapter 43: A Worthy Opponent

An extremely fierce battle was happening at the moment inside the Arena and the surrounding minotaurs were cheering and banging their weapons on the ground in support of their favorite fighter. Some of them even started infighting with the supporters of the other side.

Kahn was astounded by the strength and merciless fighting style of these contending minotaurs. Especially the reigning champion of the arena. Because unlike all the Minotaur he had seen so far, it was far brutal, more intelligent and extremely well versed in the fight. It always defended itself properly and intentionally let out openings just to reel in its opponent to attack. That way, it would quickly throw it off balance and make a powerful strike of its own. The red minotaur however was no weakling.. The ferocious attacks did give it an edge in this fight to the death.

Kahn didn't dwell on looking at this battle and quickly started luring out the remaining minotaurs using the overly noisy arena as a way to kill the enemy so many will not notice that their comrades went missing one by one.

Finally, the result of the match was in front of everybody. The seat of the champion would still be held by the yellow minotaur..

RAAARRRRR!!

Loudly roared the minotaur and banged its chest with fists and displayed his strength and authority. The battle was indeed a very close call and the yellow minotaur had won by throwing its shield on the opponent at the critical time to disorient it and then swinging its giant battleaxe to cut the head of the opponent in the end.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"Nice. Thanks for being such a showman." joked Kahn as his voice spread in the entire arena. He was currently sitting on top of a slab-like structure just above the throne of the yellow minotaur.

"A human?! How did you get inside here?!" growled the Minotaur.

"Don't worry.. I made sure no one disturbs our little chat." spoke Kahn without any worries. He wasn't surprised to see the Minotaur speaking because even the Half-Lord rank Silver Kobold spoke so why couldn't a Lord rank Minotaur.

The next second, he jumped inside the arena and stood before the giant yellow minotaur, taking his sword out of his space ring and pointing it towards the reigning champion.

"Care for a battle?" asked Kahn and let out a slight smirk.

"Hahaha. You seem quite foolish for a human. Even though I don't need it.. Can't you see that you're surrounded by me and my kin? How do you plan to leave this place alive? Hahaha!" bellowed the minotaur in mockery. The fellow minotaurs then started laughing and grumbling as well.

"I guess you're right. How about we make sure that no one disturbs us?" proposed Kahn and suddenly dozens of black figures started jumping out of his shadow.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

One by one, many giant figures landed on the ground of the arena and started filling in this wide space which neared about 200 meters in total length.

"What... What is this?!" shouted as the Minotaur Boss saw Kahn's army of pitch-black soldiers.. Omega and the Six Generals being the spearheads of this group.. But what shocked it the most was seeing nearly 40 of his own kin mixed in this army.
