Hero Of Darkness

Chapter 305 – Pureblood Faction

The next day after Kahn's matches, the hype for the next match continued as the next and final round before the main finale was even more popular compared to Kahn and Victor's match. 

Because the two candidates who'd be fighting in this match were two of the top 3 candidates who were expected to win this competition based on their talent and prestige amongst the three factions. 

A semi-saint vs a semi-saint. 

The Raven Sorceress vs the Dual Swords Saintess. 

Kassandra Mikealson vs Celine Armitage! 

Both of whom were the chosen representatives of the neutral faction as well as heiress of their respective clans. 

On paper, both the young human sorceress and the demonkin swordswoman were eventually matched. But none of them had revealed their full extent of strength or skills even till now. 

So what everyone in the empire expected to see was these two young women fight against each other to prove their worth since rumors had spread among the masses that in case any of them wins the competition, they will be chosen as the successors of neutral faction leader 

And given the fact that both of their fathers were sixth stage saints themselves.. It became a matter of prestige as well a key moment in the history of the neutral faction. 

So the exposure and anticipation was already twice compared to Kahn's match. 

However… On the day of the match, Kahn received an invitation. 

Not just a normal invitation but one that arrived with a warship. Kahn had no choice but to accept and read the contents.

"I see. I expected as much." he spoke and departed in the warship that was actually sent to escort him to the residence of the host. 

After spending 1 hour and traveling nearly 900 kilometers in this warship that resembled an intergalactic spacecraft, he and the force of grandmasters that was sent to escort him finally landed in the western end of the central region of the capital. 

In front of Kahn, stood an enormous fort situated in a large city. Kahn still couldn't see an end of the ginormous construct as the entrance gates themselves were 100 meters tall. 

After a luxurious flying carriage picked him up, Kahn spent half an hour just to reach the main meeting hall where he was showered with flowers and escorted inside like a celebrity. 

At the end of the one kilometer long hall where dozens of platforms and chairs were placed and could hold a grand meeting of at least one thousand individuals, were 2 people waiting patiently. 

On the huge main throne, was an elderly and silver-haired vampire sitting like an absolute king and on the side of the throne, was a small throne where another silver-haired man who barely looked in his thirties awaited Kahn. 

The father-son duo of Allister and Ismaetrazel had invited… more like summoned Kahn. 

"How are you, human boy? Did you have a comfortable journey?" asked Allister in a magnanimous tone. 

"Yes, your lordship." spoke Kahn respectfully as he half knelt in front of the seventh stage saint. 

"Do you have any idea why I have called upon you?" asked the faction leader. 

"I think I do." replied Kahn with an understanding gaze. 

"Good. You're smart enough to understand these small things at least. 

You do know that you're alive at this moment because I declared my support to you in front of this whole empire, right?" he asked. 

"Yes, your lordship." said Kahn in an understanding tone. 

He didn't have any domineering attitude or rebellious tone in his speech as the being standing in front of him was someone he couldn't even dare to stand in the same room. 

At this moment, Allister looked at Kahn as if a gigantic dragon was gazing at a small puppy. 

The realm of strength both of them were at was worlds apart. 

"So what do you want in return for the protection?" asked Kahn as he stood properly in front of the two saints. 

"Have you reconsidered the offer I made you months ago?" asked Ismaetrazel in a solemn tone. 

"I have. And it's still no." spoke Kahn without a pause. 

"However.. I have been approached by others just like you." he said before either of the saints could speak anything. 

Both of their expressions turned alarmed but they quickly regained their composure. 

"Who?" asked Allister in his old and grim voice. 

"Stronoff Mikealson. Just like lord clan leader here.. He too offered me to become his disciple. And more importantly.. He offered me to join their clan through marriage." revealed Kahn with a calm expression. 

The next second however, both the father and son lost their composure and instantly reacted. 

"You can't!" spoke Allister. 

"Airshh…" suddenly Kahn's expression turned to that of irritation and he no longer acted like an obedient child in front of these two powerful beings. 

"Lord faction leader and lord clan leader.. Can we drop these pretenses for once? It's suffocating." spoke Kahn in a carefree tone. 

There was a reason why he revealed the inside info about Stronoff trying to recruit him. 

He wanted to see the expression on the faces of the two vampires. And after seeing their reaction… he knew one thing for sure.. 

THEY NEEDED HIM. 

Kahn carefreely walked towards the left and sat on a golden ottoman-style chair and crossed his legs. His attitude took a U-turn as if he no longer cared about angering these two saints. 

"If anyone could tell me what the hell is actually happening.. That'd be great!" spoke Kahn as if he had suffered a great injustice. 

The next moment, the old vampire spoke again but without getting enraged or offended by Kahn's sudden shift in attitude. 

"I can tell you.. But can you stomach it? Because me telling you the truth also means you will have to choose our side." 

Sigh! 

Kahn sighed as his shoulders dropped and he took a deep breath. 

"After yesterday's fiasco.." he took a pause and spoke in a helpless tone.. 

"Aren't I already on your side?"
