One by one, the agonizing screams and wails filled the entire inner area of the Sigurd clan houses and buildings. 

Under the terrifying onslaught of Kahn’s army and his Generals, both men and women from the enemy side fell on the ground and bodies littered the battleground.

​​

At the other end of this battlefield, a man was fighting against 2 giant figures and a human with a sword in his hand.

Windcutter!

Kahn launched another ranged sword attack at Stragabor while Blackwall charged with his giant shield.

Ground Shatter! 

Blackwall used his skill to shatter the nearby 30 meter surrounding and the ground instantly cracked in this area. 

Kahn and Omega had already launched themselves in the air. Using Hive Mind skill, Kahn could order his subordinates to fight and use skills as per his orders and he too would know what was going to happen because of their mind connection. 

In other words, their coordination was even better than those who spent years fighting together. 

Stragabor was catapulted in the air after the ground split apart and the shockwave lifted his body.

Clang!

Before his body could even land on the ground again, Kahn’s sword tried to cut him in half and he quickly defended against the sword swing using his battleaxe.

Stragabor was thrown 10 meters away as his body was slammed on the ground.. The attack from Kahn was launched with all of his strength..

Just then, Omega ran swiftly from the right side and attacked Stragabor with his claws, making repeated and brutal claw swings at him and pushing him back with each attack.

If it was fighting one strong opponent, he could manage it but there were three of these strong opponents amongst whom, two were comparable to a beginner grandmaster rank fighter. 

Stragabor himself was an intermediate grandmaster rank fighter but he would have an advantage in strength only over one newbie grandmaster, not two of them together. 

“Don’t look down on me!” shouted Stragabor and released a wall of dense mana that shoved Omega back as his axe started condensing a huge amount of energy that burned the ground near him. He launched this devastating axe attack towards Omega and hit the ground in his direction.

CRACK!

The ground was split into two as the destructive wave parted it half and paced towards Omega.

BOOM!

A giant shield clashed with this incoming attack and both Blackwall & Omega were thrown back from the impact. Even though the man was much shorter and smaller than them, his strenght was definitely above both of them. 

Stragabor quickly turned around and swung his axe!

Ding!

Kahn who just attacked from the back was pushed back for 5 meters, his hands nearly losing the grip on his sword. Stragabor was indeed a very strong opponent.

If not for his advantage with numbers and mainly Blackwall efficiently defending against the attacks, Kahn and Omega wouldn’t be able to find an opening to attack the man.

Blackwall jumped in the air and used his Axe Splitter skill, a huge amount of condensed mana on his giant battlexe landed on Stragabor’s body as the man quickly tried to defend against the brutal and powerful attack.

He barely managed to block it in the last second and was thrown few meters backward.

But before he could even manage his footing, Omega attacked from above his head with his Shredder claws.

“Ah!” screamed Stragabor as he failed to defend against this highly destructive claw attack that hit his body..

“Blergh!” he threw a mouthful of blood and he finally gazed at the other side of the battlefield.. Watching his clansmen and the people he grew up with getting killed by this army of monsters..

“You.. They had nothing to do with this. Why are you killing them?!” asked Stragabor with a vengeful expression while half of his head was covered in blood. 

“Are you stupid? If I killed only you, there would be other people coming for me. And I’m not an idiot to leave behind enemies that could come back to kill me. I’d rather root out the cause of the problem itself. Besides, don’t act like you wouldn’t have done the same.” spoke Kahn with an expressionless face. His tone sounding like he didn’t feel any remorse for killing the clan members.

“And one more thing.. All of those who made business deals with your family were also killed by me.” spoke Kahn in a mocking tone..

“Impossible! They were killed by Azrael!” rebuked Stragabor.

“Take a hint, you moron.” smirked Kahn.

“Why? My clan had no rivalry with you before this.. Even after you killed my brother.” he spoke as he clutched his hand on the wound that was bleeding.

Kahn, Omega and Blackwall were surrounding him from 3 directions as if he was no different than a prey in their eyes.

“Who do you think hired me?” asked Kahn as he hinted the obvious..

“Those old bastards!!” shouted Stragabor as he finally understood why was his adventurer team and his connections in the city were going dropping dead one by one.

“The contract didn’t mention killing you.. But since you tried to kill me, I had to take matters in my own hand.” replied Kahn and started launching swings after swing, attack after attack on the tall man and forced him from one side towards Blackwall and Omega.

After getting injured earlier, Stragabor could not fight at his full capacity. And soon the frequency of damage he received started increasing. His body received multiple cuts and wounds, bleeding profusely. 

At this point, the battle on the other side was already over. All the soldiers and clansmen were lying dead on the ground.

Kahn quickly started launching long-range mage spells from his left hand at the already struggling Stragabor.

Firestorm! Frost pike! Water blade!

Stragabor was baffled after he saw Kahn launching mage spells at him.. 

[Wasn’t he a Swordsman? How is he using magic spells?] asked Stragabor to himself but quickly focused on the attacks coming from the other side. 

One by one, Stragabor was getting new injuries, losing his blood and ability to fight.

Because of the constant and well-timed attacks from three different sides, he was exhausted in a matter of minutes.

“Yaaaaaahhg!” wailed Stragabor in pain as Omega cut his right arm with his claws. The man lost his weapon and dropped on the ground.. Unable to endure the pain.

Kahn walked in front of the man and put his sword on Stragabor’s neck..

“Any last words?” asked Kahn.

“Fuck you!!” bellowed the tall burly man.

SLASH!

A severed head dropped on the ground followed by a headless body..

Kahn who beheaded the man with his sword looked at the lifeless corpse of the man..

“What a rude guy.. Has no regard for his murderer’s feelings.”
