25 kilometers outside the capital Aesir on the night of the same day A warship landed amidst a mountainous region filled with dense treelines and grasslands.

Tchak!

The giant main door of this two hundred meters tall and four hundred meters wide massive warship opened and a group of people exited the ship.

These were none other than Kahn, Jugram, Armin, and the elite fighters amongst the covenant soldiers.

Shing!

Cling!

A demonkin who was tied with heavy mythril chains that also had multiple runes which stopped him from using his mana or aura.

Soon, they stopped in an open ground while the soldiers brought a black and red wooden throne with comfortable cushions.

"What the hell is this supposed to mean, Salvatore?! Do you think you can secretly execute me and get away with it?!

Don't you know who I am or which faction I represent?

The entire Demi-Human faction and my clan will cause a bloodbath in this shithole of a fiefdom of yours if you kill me!" exclaimed Victor angrily as he shirked his hands away from a soldier who was holding the chains.

"Arshhh this fucking dimwit." spoke Kahn in annoyance as he took a seat.

"You still don't get it? You're no longer some heir of a clan or a young prodigy of a noble faction.

You are a fugitive!" he said and looked down on chained Victor.

"You're now the whistle-blower in the eyes of the Demi-Human faction.

Forget the faction even your own family won't protect you at this point. You have become

A liability." smirked Kahn with an elated expression.

"There are two reasons why I spread the news that you escaped from my clutches.

One

If I did anything to you myself it could've been turned to my disadvantage. Your faction or the clan would've come up with any reason in order to get custody over you.

If I declined, they could say that I actually orchestrated that confession and wanted to silence you or any random bullshit reason that people would eventually believe.

Because if a thousand people speak a lie together it becomes the truth." revealed Kahn.

"And as things stand Instead of trying to protect you

It's more convenient for your faction to get rid of you.

If you're dead they can shift the entire blame on you.

But if nobody knows where you are the entire empire will think that your faction and clan are protecting you despite your crimes.

So keeping you alive will do far more damage than killing you." he said.

The next moment, his tone turned grim.

"Two

I didn't kill you because death will be a great mercy for a scumbag like you who thinks that other people's lives don't matter since you come from a noble family and prestigious background.

I bet you didn't even feel a sense of wrong or responsibility when you carried out the massacre.

I'm certain you have no remorse for causing the deaths of those twenty thousand innocent people who were only doing their job." he said while leaking his killing intent.

"As the Sovereign, I'm responsible to protect the people here.

I know that I'm no saint and have blood on my hands as well. But what I absolutely hate is when someone innocent dies because of me.

And to frame me your faction killed so many people. Since I don't have the power and authority to go and kill that fucking faction leader of yours

I'll at least make you pay for the crimes you've committed." said Kahn with eyes full of bloodlust while his black and red aura froze the surrounding area.

"So for all those deaths you should pay a heavy price.

There were 20 thousand dead people

Let's see if you still want to live if your bones are broken for the same amount." declared Kahn with a vengeful tone.

He then looked at Jugram and Armin who came with him to this isolated region.

Under Jugram's orders, all the soldiers returned to the warship and waited there.

BOOM!!

Kahn, who sat on his throne with a grim expression suddenly activated the Dimensional Domain skill. One of his trump card abilities.

"What what the hell is this?!" exclaimed Victor as he noticed the remaining strength in his body leaving and even standing up took a great deal of effort for him.

"Ah, I guess you didn't notice it back then since I cast it too quickly. This. Is my domain." spoke Kahn casually.

Victor on the other hand has a frightened expression as soon as he heard Kahn's response.

"Impossible! How can you have a domain? Only a 5th stage saint and above can create a domain of their own!" exclaimed Victor hurriedly.

"Oh, that's something I never heard of." spoke Kahn as he learned about this key information for the first time.

But instead of giving too much attention to this revelation, Kahn looked at Jugram who was clad in his new red armor and giantsword made from the skin and bones of the legendary rank Invimarak monster.

"Master Both of our strengths are now matched when I'm in my human form." spoke Jugram.

"Human form what?..." said Victor.

But instead of clarifying

Clang!

Kahn suddenly summoned a weapon and threw it toward Victor.

This was actually Victor's scythe that they confiscated back when Kahn and Jugram caught him.

"You see I'm a very benevolent man.

I will give you one last chance if you want to save your life.

Fight my general here in a life and death battle.

If you manage to kill him I'll let you go free.

How does that sound?" asked Kahn with a sinister voice.

Spat!

Victor spat on the ground while Jugram unchained him.

The next moment, he took out Victor's repaired armor from his space ring.

"Don't fucking look down on me you bastard!

Last time I was defeated because you had trapped me. But this time I'll kill him first and then I'll kill you later.

Dare to bet?" scoffed Victor.

Kahn only nodded in return. This inwardly laughed at the clan heir of the Apopis clan who still hadn't grasped the situation.

After Victor equipped his gear he stood in front of Jugram. Both of them were now limited to a peak grandmaster under Kahn's dimensional domain.

Kahn sat on the farthest end while Armin accompanied him.

And finally he gave the command.

"Begin the Deathmatch!"
