Hero of Darkness

Chapter 60: Meeting them again



Chapter 60: Meeting them again

Kahn walked inside the foggy and damp area of the 12th floor after exiting the door channels that connected various floors of this dungeon. After exiting that channel, you would be led to the individual environmental setting of each different floor.

Normally, it'd be a sunny day as most of the previous floor Kahn had visited so he didn't expect this sudden change in the scenery because the sight in front of him was completely filled with black clouds, a dense and foggy forest where you couldn't see anything past 10 meters ahead of you.

Kahn walked with his utmost vigilance and since Survival Instinct had undergone an upgrade, his senses were far keener and covered around 80 meters from his location. This was indeed a very useful transformation after he broke through the Grandmaster rank.

Kahn activated Hunter's Intent as it was currently his most useful and widest range skill for a better sight and gauge the strength of any opponent he saw.

[[Author : Since some people have been confused regarding the difference between Survival Instinct & Hunter's Intent.. Let me explain with short references. Survival Instinct is more like Kahn's Spidey sense which alerts him when something dangerous is targeting him or someone exudes killing intent towards him. While Hunter's Intent on the other hand is more like Batman's detective mode. And now that Heat Sense ability he created using the Nymph floor boss is merged under this skill, Hunter's Intent can also register heat signature, scan, differentiate and even see through long distances. No different than Kahn's own Witcher senses.]]

He kept treading through the foggy surrounding and muddy land for a while but still hadn't seen or sensed anything yet. He wondered if he had entered the wrong side of this dungeon floor.

Before coming to this dungeon, Kahn had checked out the information available for this floor but found that there were not even 10 incidents where people entered this floor.. And the majority of the adventurer teams that entered.. never returned alive.

Only 3 groups had managed to return back and as per the records, majority of those people went through mental issues and some even committed suicide out of fear that something was going to kill them.

Kahn wondered if those people had undergone some sort of traumatic experience on this floor that affected their sanity.

Just as he finally entered through the inner areas of this floor, Kahn noticed that the fog was far more denser and visible than before.. Now he couldn't even see what was in the five meters next to him. His vision somehow felt like it was getting blurry and his eyes grew heavy the more he breathed this fog.

Swoosh!

Kahn's ears perked up and he quickly turned to his right, his mind completely focused and ready to react.

Whisper!

He heard small whispers but could not sense the actual direction where they were coming from. He was starting to get an eerie feeling because even his senses felt like they were getting dull and the range he was able to cover with his skills started diminishing little by little.

Crawl!

Kahn shifted to his left while taking a defensive stance and quickly activated his Somir Scale armor. He did not like how he was losing control over this situation.. He had the skills to both warn him or track the enemies but none of them appeared to be useful in his current predicament.

Even though he was twice stronger than before after breaking through the new rank.. He felt a sense of dread and danger from this surrounding.

"What the hell is happening?" asked Kahn as he noticed that his body and his movements were getting slower as the time passed.

"You.." suddenly he heard a whisper in his ear. Kahn jolted in shock and turned around, swinging his sword out of fear and tried to defend against whoever this voice belonged to.

"Are.." whispered a female voice in his head and he quickly turned to his back.. But he saw no one behind him.

"A complete.." now he heard a man's voice who would be in his 30s based on the tone. Kahn was baffled and started walking in circles, trying to gaze at what was causing this type of effect on him.

"Failure!" finally he heard a woman's voice as his body started shivering out of fear.. His legs almost gave out, ready to drop on the ground.

But just then, he saw black shadows slithering towards him from this fog and slowly approach him from four different sides.

The shadows emerged from the ground one by one.. Their eyes shining bright red and soon after, they started forming various shapes.

Kahn who was completely on the defensive mode at this moment started noticing that these shadows were now getting more human-like appearances and just in a couple of minutes; they finally took properly formed proper human faces.

Kahn dropped his sword on the ground in disbelief.. His mind not being able to make sense of how could the people he saw in front of him could exist in this world.

The four bodies dressed up in modern-day clothes were now completely visible to him. Kahn saw an old man with grey hair and a mustache.. A middle-aged woman with long brown hair. The man who looked to be in his 30s had a buffed-up body while the woman that appeared the last looked quite gorgeous for someone who had entered her 30s.

Kahn dropped on the ground as the people in front started walking close to him one by one.

"Look at you.. Still so pathetic and alone." said the old man.

"I can't believe I was related to such a useless human being." spoke the middle-aged woman.

"Still a weakling and a coward.." said the buffed man.

"I'm ashamed to even admit that I knew someone like you." spoke the woman.

Kahn who finally managed to recover from the shock found the sight impossible.

Because the people that stood in front of him at this moment were someone he knew very closely in his previous life.

His family!
