Chapter 399.: Total Annihilation's Domain
"Listen up!" Hernandez's voice resounded throughout the Ekrast Plains . "Our only goal is the Hercules Guild . We'll kill anyone who gets in the way of our goal!" he declared .
"Oooh!" The Storm Guild members cheered .
Raon's eyes gleamed . Brand quickly came over to his side .
"I'm not sure what happened, but this is our chance . "
Raon nodded his head . Brand didn't need to explain any further .
"Raon Alliance, listen up!" Raon's majestic voice rang out . "Don't get in the Storm Guild's way . Keep killing the Hegang Alliance!"
"Yes, sir!" the Breaker Guild members replied as one .
On the other hand, the Hegang Alliance, especially the Hercules Guild, was going crazy .
"Are they crazy!?" Shion jumped up . 'Why are they going after us!?'
"Mr . Arthand!" Shion quickly called . However, Arthand was quick on the uptake . He answered first .
"Mr . Shion, we'll take on the Raon Alliance, so please take care of the Storm Guild . "
It was the correct move . After all, the Raon Alliance was weak and tired, while the Storm Guild was at full strength .
'If things get bad, then we'll have to retreat . '
Since he'd heard Hernandez's announcement, he considered retreating too .
As of now, there was a high chance that the Hercules Guild would take the most losses . Thus, he wanted to get as far away as he could before they turned their attention to his own guild .
"Mm!" Shion knew why he was doing this . However, there was no way of convincing Arthand to do otherwise .
Grr .
He gritted his teeth, and heavily nodded his head .
"Under . . . stood . I won't forget this!"
"Do as you wish," Arthand replied absentmindedly . It was clear that the Hercules Guild would take considerable losses in this battle . Thus, he wasn't really concerned with Shion's remark .
'We have to keep as many of our troops alive as possible . '
"Assume a defensive position . The Hercules Guild will take care of the Storm Guild . Don't mess with the Storm Guild!" Arthand yelled .
Hernandez grinned . "It's going exactly as planned . "
"So far . " Han Seol nodded her head .
"It's time," Kang Oh said . His body tingled with excitement . He could feel the heat of battle from here .
"Alright . " Hernandez smiled . He was a natural battle maniac . "Let's go, everyone!"
Hernandez led the charge atop his horse . Kang Oh and Han Seol came after him, and the Storm Guild followed the two of them .
"Oh, they're coming!"
"Ugh . "
The morale of the Hercules Guild and its allies began to dwindle . It didn't look like there was any way they could win .
"Haaht!"
Soon enough, Hernandez reached the Hercules Guild's formation, and began showing why he was called the Spear King .
Infinite Thrust!
Whenever his spear flashed, people would die helplessly .
"Giddy-yap! Let's go, Heuk Woon!"
He was skilled in horseback riding, and his horse would use its front or hind legs to trample on or kick his enemies away .
The Lightning Hunter, Han Seol, and the Storm Guild's high rankers showed what they were made of too .
Whizz .
Han Seol's lightning arrow pierced through one enemy soldier, and then went through two others .
Fierce Charge!
Silver Stein, a knight called the Silver Wolf, pushed through enemy lines with his favorite horse .
Bam! Bam! Bam!
His dual blades were both heavy and precise .
There was also an individual that popped out of the shadows, slit the Hercules Guild members' necks, and then receded back into the shadows .
Black Spider, Saracen!
He was an assassin with skills on par with the Harbinger of Death, Viper .
Aside from them, the Storm Guild's elite squads cut through swathes of Hercules' guild members .
'Shion's mine!' Kang Oh pulled out a demonic looking axe from his inventory . It was an S-rank axe that possessed a lethal curse called Total Annihilation .
[Total Annihilation]
Casts Total Annihilation . Drains the HP of anyone within a 50 meter radius by 1% per second . This effect lasts for 100 seconds . Does not discriminate between friend and foe . Only the caster remains unaffected by its effects . When this effect is over, the weapon breaks .
This curse was created by Katan, widely considered the worst mage in history . The forbidden spell, Total Annihilation, was contained within this hideous axe .
Kang Oh used Gluttony .
His jet-black demon sword's darkness devoured the demonic axe .
All of his abilities were increased threefold, and Total Annihilation was now usable!
To add to that, he used Devil Trigger .
His demon swords' red and black energy mixed together, and engulfed his body .
Kang Oh's body was coated in black, with streaks of red running through it . Two demon horns protruded from his beast mask, dark red wings sprouted from his back, blood-like armor covered his torso, and his beautiful tail was ever present . The Dual Demon was here!
"Tasha, please fly me over to that guy . " Kang Oh pointed Blood at Shion . Shion was situated in the heart of enemy territory .
"Got it . " Tasha began flapping his wings, and Kang Oh rose into the air .
Wyverns passed by him, but they didn't interfere .
Whoosh!
Kang Oh flipped through the air, and then plummeted to the ground . He was like a shooting star!
Boom!
He landed right in front of Shion .
"Kang Oh!" It was as if lasers would shoot out of his eyes . 'Stealing soul dungeons just wasn't enough for you . You had to appear before me too!?'
"Kill him immediately!" Shion yelled sharply .
"Haha, we meet again!"
"You bastard!"
Kang Oh was surrounded by Lacus, Light Rock, and Duvalnetta, all of whom had lost to Kang Oh before, as well as Shion's elite guard .
"Don't let him escape . Kill him first and then take care of the Storm Guild!" Shion yelled .
"Hmph . " Kang Oh snorted .
Unfortunately for them, they hadn't surrounded him . On the contrary, the Hercules Guilds' top executives had fallen for his trap .
Total Annihilation!
[Total Annihilation has been cast . ]
[Anyone within a 50 meter radius will be annihilated!]
[Anyone who stays inside will lose their HP at 1% per second . ]
[Remaining Time: 100 seconds]
A giant, 50 meter wide ring appeared beneath his feet . Bizarre, ominous red letters appeared on top of the ring .
[Warning! You are within Total Annihilation's Domain!]
[You will lose 1% of your HP every second . ]
[Please escape from Total Annihilation's Domain!]
Once he read the system message, Shion's face stiffened . Total Annihilation . . . It was a forbidden spell created by the worst mage in history, Katan!
"It's Katan's Total Annihilation . Hurry up and get out of the ring!" Shion yelled . At the same time, he called for the Phoenix, which was still fighting against Helena .
In order to fly back to its master, the Phoenix turned its back on Helena . However, Helena wouldn't just let it go scot free; she let loose a powerful spell as a parting gift .
Bam! Bam!
Despite that, the Phoenix fiercely flapped its wings and flew towards Shion .
"Shit!"
"Damn it!"
Startled by Shion's warning, the Hercules Guild members began to back off . Of course, Kang Oh wouldn't just let them get away .
'I'll ignore the small fry . '
His target was Shion and his high rankers . He planned on doing his utmost to keep them from escaping .
Kuhaaahk!
A horrifying roar escaped from his mouth .
Demon's Roar!
This roar would cause his enemies to shrink away in fear, and reduce their abilities .
Abyss Claw!
Fresh Blood Wave!
His red and black auras swept through anything in front of him .
"I'll deal with him . Everyone else, get away as fast as you can!" The paladin, Light Rock, pushed his shield forward and blocked Kang Oh's attack . He planned on sacrificing himself for his guild .
"Get away! Hurry!" Shion yelled once more .
Lacus bit his lip and turned around . Duvalnetta and the other rankers did the same .
"Where do you think you're going!?"
Blood Spear!
Blood Spears flew everywhere .
Lacus and Duvalnetta rolled onto the floor .
Tempest Tiger!
Lightning Breath!
Kang Oh shot attack after attack at Shion and his executives . Light Rock blocked his Tempest Tiger, but the executives had to roll onto the floor in order to avoid his Lightning Breath .
Abyss Transfer!
Kang Oh retreated into the darkness and disappeared . He then reappeared right beside Shion . Shion was his primary target!
Shion gritted his teeth . He kept getting system messages, telling him to get out of Total Annihilation's range ASAP .

However, he couldn't get past Kang Oh .
He was holding the Phoenix Egg in one hand, so he cast a spell using his other, which was holding his staff .
Mother Nature's Fury!
His staff unleashed a green energy blast .
Kang Oh swung Ubist at it . The green energy was sucked into his blade like water being drained into a sinkhole .
Abyss Blade, which allowed Ubist to absorb magic, had activated!
He immediately swung his sword .
Whoosh .
His jet-black greatsword cleaved through the air .
Shion gritted his teeth and ducked . The demon sword passed right over his head .
"Protect the guildmaster!" Lacus and the other high rankers rushed at Kang Oh .
Destroy Target!
Vital Strike!
Earth Slash!
Ignite!
Honorable Hammer!
Lacus's handaxe, Dulvanetta's arrow, as well as the other high rankers' attacks came flying over .
The ordinary guild members used that opportunity to escape Total Annihilation .
Red Butterfly's Dance!
Abyss Shield!
Kang Oh moved nimbly, and a swamp-like barrier formed around Kang Oh .
"Ignore him! Get out immediately!" Shion yelled . Even if he wanted to fight, he had to get out of Total Annihilation's range first .
"Keep him busy while you run away!" Lacus yelled .
"I'll keep him occupied until the very end!" Light Rock charged at Kang Oh .
"I ain't letting you go . " Kang Oh went on a rampage . He was the only one free to move as he pleased within Total Annihilation's Domain .
Festival of Blood!
His snow-white blade was covered in energy as thick and dark as blood .
Transcendent Blade!
No one saw Kang Oh's sword move, but they did see the position he was in after .
Bam!
Kang Oh left a diagonal cut on Light Rock's body! Black shards of light burst from the wound . Fang Bearing Blade had activated!
The man that was called Hercules' Shield was so easily defeated .
The combination of Total Annihilation, Gluttony, Devil Trigger, Festival of Blood, Transcendent Blade, and Fang Bearing Blade resulted in instant death .
"Light Rock!" Shion and the rest of the executives were shocked .
Light Rock had the highest defense among them . To think that Light Rock would die in a single hit .
Plop . Plop . Plop .
Kang Oh advanced .

The White Shark, Excal, thought, 'Ah, screw it!', and charged at Kang Oh .
Shiver of Sharks!
If he landed an attack with his serrated dagger, then his opponent would be ripped apart, as if they were being gnawed at by sharks .
However, it was completely pointless .
Kang Oh's Hyper Intuition warned him ahead of time, so he knew exactly where Excal was attacking . Plus, it showed him where Excal was exposed too .
Stab!
Blood pierced through Excal's heart .
"You can't go . . . " Excal grabbed Kang Oh's arms in an attempt to buy as much time as possible .
Kang Oh picked up Excal's body with a single hand, and threw him at Shion . At the same time, Festival of Blood, which only lasted 30 seconds, wore off .
Bam!
Lacus, who was near Shion, deflected Excal's body .
"Run away!"
"Got it . " Shion did as he was told . Just a little bit more, and he'd be free from the effects of Total Annihilation .
"Hmph!"
Kang Oh and Lacus clashed .
Mad Wind's Sword!
Havoc!
An axe and two swords flew through the air .
Bam!
Lacus's body fell forward, accompanied by glimmering shards of red light .
Kang Oh immediately chased after Shion .
'I got him!' Kang Oh's eyes gleamed wickedly .
"You bastard!"
"Uheok!"
But then . . .
A giant flame stood before him .
It was the Phoenix .
The Phoenix snatched Shion away and flew out of Total Annihilation's Domain .
"Tch . " Kang Oh disappointedly clicked his tongue .
The red ring, inscribed with red letters, began to dwindle . Total Annihilation was ending, and there were no longer any living beings within the ring .
However, he'd accomplished his goal .
He'd killed Hercules' high rankers: Lacus, Light Rock, Excal, etc .
Tramp, tramp .
Kang Oh left Total Annihilation's Domain .
Shion was waiting for him . A giant firebird stood behind him with its wings outstretched .
His elite guard and the Hercules Guild surrounded Kang Oh too .
"I'll kill you!" Shion said angrily .
"Shut up and fight," Kang Oh said frighteningly . 'I'll kill every last one of you!'
