Chapter 298 - Two Demons
Kahn on the other end had sensed that his loss would be imminent if he faced this powered-up enemy who was using his bloodline skill.
And hence, he quickly summoned his Drakos armor for the first time in the competition as well as activated the Draconian bloodline effect.
He gazed at Victor's figure that had transformed into something else at this point.
The old Victor from minutes ago was completely gone and now in his place, stood a 3 meter tall red demon with two giant horns on his head and two coming out from the sides of his jaw.
Victor's body had completely turned red and his hands now had sharp black claws.
The upper body that was once in the dark green armor was now completely exposed to the public while his skull no longer looked humanoid but that of a monster.
Ripped muscles and large arms came to be in everyone's sight as Victor finally revealed his True Demon transformation.
[[Author : Victor Apopis True Demon form reference art in chapter comments.]]
This was the highest degree of his capacity which he hadn't even revealed in the quarterfinals against the semi-saint Ezekiel, the representative of the Pureblood faction.
This showed how seriously he took Kahn as his opponent.
"What is this… His Devil Trigger or something?" wondered Kahn.
On the other side however.. Stood another demonic figure. Yet his aura was completely different from the former.
As if it didn't belong to a human or a demon, rather a completely different species altogether.
Kahn finally used the Drakos Armor, the one made by Albestros after he gave the old man the remaining body parts of the magma drake. And this was also the lifesaving armor he used in the fight against Arkham and Solomon.
But compared to the previous incident, this time the armor was much stronger and exuded more blistering heat and chaotic aura since Kahn's rank and levels had risen.
And the Drakos Armor and Lucifer that shared the draconian bloodline effect with him also grew in strength along with his own rank and levels thanks to Kahn's own draconian bloodline he absorbed from the drake.
Albestros had successfully completed the blood-bind ritual which tied Kahn's body with them. So now, not only Kahn, but even one of his biggest trump cards had leveled up a league above.
Because of which, the armor wasn't just leaking heat.. But it was literally on fire just like the magma drake, who also shared this effect.
His dragon-like face and the two big horns on the helmet made him look like he had just risen from the pits of hell.
Since he already had Thermal Body skill he absorbed from the drake, Kahn wasn't affected in the slightest. But it had greatly alarmed the opponent.
As for the people watching the match throughout the empire.. They were gasping in surprise. Because at this moment…
They couldn't tell which among the two was a true demon.
"So that's the rumored best creation of the peak grandmaster blacksmith Albestros Winston?
Where the hell did he even get so many body parts of a drake? And to make a complete armor set out of it.. This shouldn't even be possible.
Even the other two grandmaster blacksmiths said that it will take them a great amount of time and resources just to forge it properly." spoke a 4th stage saint from the pureblood faction.
Not just him but the majority of the saints were gasping in surprise after looking at Kahn's Drakos Armor.
Because an armor lighting up with fire while the owner remains completely unaffected was simply unheard of. And no one had seen the attack and defense buff effects of the entire set yet.
If the rumors were true, the sword held by Kahn was also made from the same material and with all of them being part of a set..
What Kahn wore in this fight was comparable to Legendary battle gear worn by top figures of the past.
This created a great sense of respect towards the old man Albestros in their mind.
[System, tell me the changes in the Drakos Armor. What are its current stats and skills.] asked Kahn.
[Draconian Armor set skills.

"Good. It's more than enough." said Kahn after noticing the rise in rank from A to S for both the bloodline buff skilss for the armor and sword.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Kahn's steps cracked the platform as he approached the enemy with a menacing gaze.
The blistering heat and the growling noise coming out of his armor sent chills to all the audience present in the battle arena.
While chaotic and destructive aura from Victor in his true demon form raised the small pebbles from the cracked ground in the air.
Two imposing and domineering demonic figures charged at each other with eyes full of killing intent.
Dhang! Dhang!
Kahn ran with Lucifer in hand while Victor clenched both his hands over the scythe.
Their aura weapons also pointed towards each other and prepared to attack along with their respective owners.
Kahn murmured to himself as he spoke with a light grin under the helmet..
"I'm about to end this man's whole career."
