Hero of Darkness

Chapter 257 - Escape Route

Chapter 257 - Escape Route

As soon as Kahn left the battle arena under public eyes.. The seemingly silent crowd went into an uproar.

Brazen! Kahn was too brazen!

Not only did he defeat the clan heiress of one of the most influential clans in this district, but he also publicly humiliated her in front of audience of a million people. That too right on their home ground.

And because of his deeds, many people from Weiss Clan and Historia's fan club were outraged to their core. Since many didn't care if she was putting up a pretense of an idol type of image for the selected individuals.

As he returned to the resting area hurriedly, he gathered the details about his next matches and the new registration token.

But instead of dilly-dallying, he quickly went to one of the rooms inside the facility.

Soon, hundreds of people from both the Weiss clan and Historia Fan Club started heading towards this section of the battle arena where Kahn entered the resting area for the participants.

Most of these people had malicious intent in their eyes and some of them were even grandmaster rank fighters.

A flock of haters marched towards the entrance of the resting area and soon, even the arena management employees as well as guards were alerted after sensing the approaching crowd.

[Do it now!] ordered Kahn as he sensed the group with murderous intent.

Although he could easily escape from here or subdue the people who were coming after him.. He would have to either reveal his strength of a semi-saint being or gather too much attention even with the shadow walk skill, as there won't be easy opening for him to use this skill.

This was not something he could afford to do till the endgame of the competition as it will greatly affect his approach, his future earnings and bring too much trouble if the top powers knew that there was semi-saint fighting in the competition except the already confirmed candidates of the three factions.

"Where is he?! Tell him to come out!" shouted an armored man from the Weiss clan.

"Come out bastard! How dare you humiliate our goddess?!" shouted an individual from the fan club.

Soon, a big crowd amassed in front of the entrance and the guards on duty were surrounded by hundreds of people. There was no opening left for anyone to enter or exit out of this facility at all.

Some even tried to break-in and threatened to kill the guards if they didn't bring Kahn out willingly.

Boom!

A heavy pressure of a grandmaster mage was released in the surroundings as he revealed his killing intent.

"Bring that man out. Or we can't guarantee who we will end up hurting in the process. Do it when we are asking nicely." commanded the intermediate rank grandmaster.

Two more grandmaster-rank individuals who belonged to the Weiss clan released their horrifying aura on the guards and made them fall on their knees.

"Do as he says. Or no one will be able to find how you died. The law does not punish a mob in case of riot.. Think about saving your own lives rather than someone you don't even know." spoke an elderly human swordsman who himself was a peak grandmaster.

At this point.. The guards were hesitant about what to do. Their job entailed providing safety for the participants but given the number of unhappy people in front of them.. They'd be subjected to mob lynching for trying to save someone who provoked all these people.

Thud! Thud! Tap! Tap!

But before things escalated furthermore, another crowd marched towards these people who had already surrounded the entrance.

"What's happening here?" asked a tall and burly man who was dressed in the uniform of the arena management. His long white beard and waist-length hair made his features stand out.

SHRILL!!

He quickly released his aura of a peak grandmaster individual and warred off the approaching crowd.

"Don't get involved in our matters. If a fight breaks, you will be at loss." spoke the elderly man and the next 3 individuals revealed their aura of grandmaster rank individuals.

One beginner, one intermediate and lastly the old man who was a peak grandmaster.

SHING!

However, the next second, two more individuals from the other end of the crowd revealed their deathly aura that surrounded all the members of this group.

"Is that so? What do you people take us for? Just because you belong to some clan, you're looking down on the government?" asked a middle-aged man with green eyes as he revealed himself as a peak grandmaster as well.

"Get lost! Or we know of many ways to kick out those who cause trouble inside the arena." said a brown-haired man with two black wings on his back.

The heavy and insurmountable aura along with the killing intent revealed by these 3 peak grandmasters instantly put everyone from the group on their knees including the other grandmasters from the Weiss clan.

"You.. You better know who you're crossing by protecting that brat!" exclaimed the old man.

Creak!

But the next second, the entrance door was opened from the inside and a frail-looking white tigerkin mage walked out.

His eyes were wide open as soon as he noticed the situation in front.

"What.. What's happening?" asked the beginner master rank mage.

"You! Did you see a young man dressed in black and golden clothes inside?" asked the elderly man.

"Oh? You mean that human with a big sword?" asked the tigerkin mage curiously.

"Yes! Go and tell him to come out!" ordered the old man.

But next moment, the tigerkin mage replied in a soft tone..

"But.. But that man already left. I saw his jump out of the window that's inside the staff room." he explained.

"What?! That bastard! Everyone, charge! Don't let him escape!" shouted the old man furiously. Even the three peak grandmasters didn't bother to stop them for some reason.

In just a minute, the entire resting area was swarmed with hundreds of people and they were searching for the man who was their main target.

But to no avail, none of them managed to find Kahn or any window that could be used as an escape route inside the facility.

----------------

Outside of the battle arena, the tigerkin mage who informed the people amount their target's whereabouts sat inside a luxurious carriage-like vehicle and one by one, his physical and facial structure started changing.

In just a minute, a handsome young man came to be. The man spoke with a light smirk on his face as he looked at the arena.

"Hasta la vista, baby."
