Hero of Darkness-Chapter 855: Important Role

The next day, Atreus was summoned to the main tribe committee hall where he previously met all the Tribe Elders with Romulus. However this time, the red wolfkin's 4 disciples were also already present, kneeling in front of their master.

Thud!

Thud!

A set of heavy footsteps resounded in the large hall as a 3-meter-tall blue wolfkin with a bulging and big stature along with a ripped and bulky body entered through the door.

Compared to before, the rune-like tattoos on this Shadow Disciple glowed more fervently and the icicles protruding out of his shoulders quickly spread a chilling breeze across the hall.

Unlike the time when the heavenly king first brought him here… Atreus was now bigger, bulkier and more imposing as his aura was many times more potent and oppressive.

"You summoned me… Master?" asked Atreus as he respectfully knelt in front of his master while revealing a domineering pressure.

Danger!

Dread!

Death!

These three emotions suddenly appeared in the minds of the 4 disciples as their basic instincts went on high alert after Atreus made his existence known to them.

And this time… None of them could even sense how strong he was or what his rank was.

[What the hell is happening?! Why does his aura and bloodline feel so powerful?

Even I can't see through him.] conveyed Dorian to his fellow disciples.

Even as a Peak 4th stage saint at this point, the white wolfkin couldn't sense anything from Atreus.

Finally, seeing that all his disciples were gathered, the Fenrirborne Tribe Leader spoke in a tyrannical voice filled with absolute majesty.

"All 4 of you have been assigned your tasks as my disciples.

It's our duty as the representatives of the Fenrirborne Tribe to contribute to our empire." he declared without responding to Atreus.

"Now go and accomplish the mandatory mission given to us by the Imperial order." he spoke.

"We won't disappoint you, master!" exclaimed Juno, the spirit enchantress in a vigorous tone.

Ivaar and Mephisto also showed a determined expression and then all 4 of them left together.

After only Romulus and Atreus were left in the hall, the latter asked in a curious voice…

"What's this about?"

Romulus was already aware that Kahn became a 5th stage saint yesterday and he personally tested his enhanced Dimensional Domain along with Vildred.

Because Kahn now became a 5th stage saint, the Royal Dragon could also use his domain again, making him a terrifying being who could even fight with an intermediate 7th stage saint once he activated his domain.

"I am aware that you know how to lead like a king since your time in the Verlassen fiefdom in the Rakos Empire." spoke his master.

"But you always led the charge by yourself and fought alongside your subordinates who were anomalies themselves.

And even the ones inside your shadows are your own creations who are not afraid of death. They would do whatever you say without thinking about any consequences." he iterated solemnly.

"But what about real people? What about real soldiers?" he questioned with a firm gaze.

"Where exactly are you getting at, master?" asked Kahn with a slightly puzzled countenance.

"Kahn… You're a chosen Hero. You may not have been informed of this matter by anyone yet…

But your role isn't just to fight against the Demon God." said the tall wolfkin who was seated on his throne.

"For all the other heroes and the empires… A chosen Hero/Heroine is a symbol.

A symbol of Hope. A symbol of Protection.

In the eyes of the populace, they are a Guardian sent by their God who is to kill the Demon God who threatens the world and everything dear in their lives.

To them, a chosen Hero is their Savior." he stated with a stern gaze.

To his words, Kahn replied…

"Yeah, I'm aware of that. But it's not like I have any way to be that for anyone since the Abyss Empire no longer exists.

And I have no people who look up to me or care about my role as Hero of Darkness either."

Romulus on the other end, shook his head.

"That may be so. But it doesn't change that you must learn a few things as a necessity for your future.

I have taught you everything I could in these past 10 months. I have laid down a path and the strongest foundation you could possibly have with your divine abilities, blessings and gifts that were given to you.

How you build your future as a warrior is up to you now." declared Romulus.

After learning the remaining 3 techniques from the wolfkin, Kahn became terrifyingly powerful and even Kahn with all his divine abilities, subordinates and battle tactics could not be compared to the current Kahn who was now a Fearless Warrior.

He looked at his master and nodded in affirmation.

This was indeed the truth in this case as after learning everything from Romulus, the former True Battle King of the Abyss Empire and the Apostle of Slaughter… the current Kahn was at least 15 times stronger than before whether in terms of combat experience, skills, adaptability, weapon mastery, combat techniques and lastly…

The training did not only change Kahn's physical body but also his mind. And Romulus indeed had a lion's share in it.

"What I want you to learn is not only to perfect yourself as a warrior...

But as a beacon of hope and an icon who people would follow to their deaths in a war without hesitation." spoke Romulus as he wanted to impart something important to Kahn.

"You have a very important role whether you like it or not. And to become the person you're expected to be…

I will make you experience something different than just training." he declared in a soft tone.

"What exactly do you mean?" asked Kahn again as he had no idea about the situation or what his master was implying.

"I want you to learn…" spoke Romulus as he revealed the final part of Kahn's training.

"How to become a War General."
