Chaos Heir

Chapter 1306: Copy

In a different situation, the sight of the two descending black figures would have reassured Khan. Their prompt arrival probably implied that they had focused on chasing him, sparing the outpost and Wayne’s ship from their might.

However, Khan was nowhere near his right mind now. He could hardly think about anything past the two aliens. Khan didn’t even care about their origin, species, or purpose. He only knew they had lost any right to breathe, if they even did that in the first place.

The two aliens crossed the barren planet’s atmosphere at high speed, stopping at some distance above Khan. The sky wasn’t bright, only filled with a dim, pale-grey radiance, but that illumination was enough to highlight their features.

Khan had already inspected the shorter alien, and his taller companion shared his iconic features.

The taller alien also resembled a male with the same strange, black eyes and single horn on the left side of his forehead. The only differences were in the short black hair, expression, and aura, since no grin or blatant raging violence afflicted them.

The taller alien merely stared at Khan, sternly inspecting him. Meanwhile, the grinning evolved warrior wiped his cheek, highlighting the shallow cut on it. It seemed Liiza’s spell had hurt it, but no blood flowed out of that wound.

Other, more profound details became apparent now. Khan had no doubt the aliens didn’t wield mana now, but their energy remained eerily similar, stirring fearful, hateful, and dutiful reactions in his element. His Nak genes recognized that foe, but his thoughts barely lingered on that.

The aliens’ flight was also closer to the Great Old One’s innate abilities. That skill didn’t exactly come from their cells, but their bodies radiated a strange influence that kept them suspended in the air or move freely without requiring footholds.

That influence seemed able to twist the world itself, and the area’s symphony vanished or ran away from it, creating mana-less zones in the aliens’ surroundings. Those two warriors were some of the strangest entities Khan had ever met, but he truly couldn’t care less.

The aliens had put Liiza and the child at risk. The only thoughts in Khan’s mind involved those warriors’ lives and how to extinguish them.

Khan’s aura echoed his unrestrained, bottomless anger, turning the air around him purple-red. A transparent cloud of destruction surrounded his figure, and blinding sparks materialized through its fabric, sending deafening thundering noises into the quiet environment.

The two aliens moved their pupil-less gazes over the expanding cloud, revealing different reactions. The shorter one opened his mouth in excitement, showcasing his sharp, triangular teeth. Meanwhile, his taller companion grew sterner, adding dense weight to his presence.

Nevertheless, something that managed to distract Khan and the two aliens from that tense, mutual inspection arrived.

The temperature sharply dropped, and the grey ground changed color. The sand was no more, hidden under a thin, white landmass that had instantly spread as far as the eye could see.

Slow, steady steps resounded over the frozen landmass. Liiza walked forward, holding her bloated belly with one hand while staring at the two black figures in the sky. Khan tried to meet her gaze to have a silent conversation, but nothing seemed able to distract her.

Khan didn’t need to rely on the mental connection to understand Liiza’s emotional state. One look at her cold, chilling face told him that she shared his anger, and nothing in the world could make her drop out of the fight against those who had threatened to hurt her child.

The short alien bent downward and wiped his right cheek again, seemingly wanting Liiza to see the shallow cut there. However, Liiza didn’t deign to respond to that black entity. Only her chilling presence was allowed to exist outside of her.

Strangely enough, Liiza’s arrival quieted Khan’s unreasonable sides. His anger didn’t wane, but he didn’t let his violent urges have the better of him.

That didn’t mean Khan would show any mercy. If anything, it only prompted him to go all-out from the get-go.

A louder thunder resounded through the area while blinding purple-red mana gathered in Khan’s left hand. A tall lightning bolt materialized in his grasp, amassing an unfathomable amount of energy.

The air around the lightning bolt shattered under its mere existence, unable to survive near such an embodiment of destruction. Even the cloud that echoed Khan’s aura began to crumble, unable to remain in one piece so close to the spell.

The lightning bolt’s appearance drew the aliens’ attention back to Khan, but he didn’t waste time anymore. His arm snapped up as he threw the spell at the two opponents, uncaring whether it hit them directly. Its explosion was bound to engulf them anyway.

The shorter alien spread his arms at the incoming spell, making his long black mantle flutter. Still, his taller companion took a step forward, putting himself in the incoming lightning bolt’s trajectory.

The tall alien lifted his palm, and a horizontal black line appeared before it, expanding to create a smaller version of the previous ellipse. The lightning bolt hit that black blemish head-on, but pressed forward, entering it.

The lightning bolt slowed down, reminding Khan of his exchange with Muhsin. However, that wasn’t due to an alteration of the local gravity. The ellipse was a window into another location, and Khan’s spell was opposing that transportation.

Sparks crackled all over the unstable lightning bolt, hitting the air and black blemish, assaulting their very fabric. Cracks opened all over the ellipse, revealing the planet’s sky behind it.

The alien’s spell looked about to collapse, but gaps suddenly opened inside the lightning bolt, expanding and making chunks of it vanish. Something similar had happened to Liiza’s ice, too, but Khan could experience the process now that it came to his energy.

The mana inside the lightning bolt didn’t crumble. It wasn’t even absorbed. It simply disappeared, vanishing without leaving any trace.

Khan tried to detonate his spell, but it was too late. The gaps’ expansion picked up speed, obliterating the lightning bolt before it had the chance to release its destructive energy. In a few seconds, only the cracked ellipse remained, but that disappeared, too.

Smoke came out of the open palm, but the taller alien only looked at it while closing and opening his fingers. The gesture had nothing to do with check-ups since his strange energy flowed inside it, escaping his skin in a shape Khan couldn’t help but recognize.

A black spark crackled on the taller alien’s palm, and another followed. More and more of that thundering energy gathered in his hand, eventually condensing and stretching to give birth to a lightning bolt that looked identical to the one Khan had just thrown.
