Hero of Darkness-Chapter 1010 A Promise Made

After future Kahn showed him the remaining 4 timelines and what happened inside them, Anakin Redfield, the Hero of Time dropped to his knees, his resolve to fight shattered.

As if those hundreds of cruel and gruesome deaths at the hands of the Future Kahn, whose strength was on part with a 7th-stage saint was not enough…

He, as a 5th-stage saint had lost his last resort of relying on his divine weapon, domain, and now the possible timelines that could have been used to emerge victorious.

And now, Anakin was left at the mercy of this 10-meter tall half-man half-dragon whose fists were bigger than his own head. Shatter!

Crumble!

Soon, the Hero of Time ran out of Soul Essence and World Energy completely, and because of this prolonged use… His Rank dropped to a peak 4th-stage saint from a beginner 5th-stage saint.

"Why? Why did this happen?

I brought everything with me. I trained my party members just to kill you.

I even stole that ancient rank artifact and that spell from the imperial family just to secure my victory." spoke Anakin in a defeated voice.

"Just because you came back in time doesn't mean all my preparations should be countered so easily.

I can't accept this… I won't accept this!" bellowed Anakin with rage.

"This is where you're wrong, Gideon." replied future Kahn with contempt.

"Did you really think I would come back in time without making plans on how to get rid of you as soon as the Transcendent Rune of Reminiscence activated? You only had a year or so to prepare for this ambush.

I had 6 years. And unlike you, whose skills, powers, subordinates, divine weapon, and domain I already knew about…

You knew nothing about me from this new timeline. And I had everything planned and all possibilities calculated with all the different abilities and bloodlines I gained in this new reality.

Even my backup plans have backup plans, you dumbfuck. And all I had to do was wait for you to make contact with me." replied Kahn with a devious smile.

This was the undeniable truth that Anakin still hadn't grasped.

"You were ever the arrogant and spineless coward, Gideon.

Do you think planning and using underhanded means to win makes you better than others?

Future Kahn and the Dragon were separated from each other, returning to their original forms.

"Don't worry. I'm not gonna kill you…" iterated Kahn softly.

"But I'm gonna make you wish you were dead."

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

The eerie silence ensued after future Kahn made his final threat.

"I brought you a gift from the future, Gideon." spoke Kahn in a menacing tone.

"Sadvek Mein Al Ehsabu Dojka!" chanted Kahn and a glowing violet rune appeared in the air.

In the following moments, it was the Dragon who spoke…

"This is ancient Dragon Magic. Although we agreed on not killing you…

We still can't have you go around revealing the fact that Kahn has returned from the future and knows what's going to happen during the Great War.

So this is to shut you up." spoke the Dragon in a sinister tone as if he was about to enjoy what was to happen.

Soon, the rune attached itself to Anakin's forehead and was absorbed in a glimpse.

"Now, look into my eyes." he commanded.

After declaring his intentions… Kahn activated Lucid Reality again.

"I reverse-engineered one of your domain's powers you used during our battle in the original timeline. Now you will live a life of torment, at the expense of the very spell you created." he spoke in a grim voice. "And remember… I will come for you.

No matter what part of the world you're hiding in or how many powerful beings are protecting you…

Nothing will save you from me. Instill this fact in your mind…" iterated Kahn in a vengeful tone.

"Remember that every breath you take, every living moment you experience… you're living your on borrowed time. Only because I decided that you were not worth killing this early.

And one day…" declared Kahn in a ruthless voice...

"I will come to collect."
