NOVEL WEB Chapter 67: Conquering Power of East
"Genghis Khan, huh? A wise choice, Aaron."
Aerith reached out and touched the cage wall with Genghis Khan's soul inside. Another notification panel appeared before the cage wall, saying something that Aaron had to get ready immediately.
[WARNING!]
[Opening the soul cage will allow evil souls to wander around and potentially invade the world.]
[Are you sure to open the cage?]
[Yes] [No]
Right before Aerith pressed the Yes menu, she again confirmed Aaron's readiness. Aaron nodded. He used some low amounts of MP Elixir to try to match Genghis Khan's strength.
[MP +20000]
[Total MP: 62000/62000]
"Okay. I'm ready!" said Aaron.
Before the woman released the cage, she cast a purple ball of light upwards to form a protective dome made of dark magic.
The dome was helpful to prevent the soul of Genghis Khan from escaping into the living world.
Once the protective dome was fully formed, Aerith pressed yes and opened the cage. The cage opened with a shocking moment, exploding to shatter.
Aaron jumped violently backward while stretching his arms forward, blocking the gust of red-colored energy blown from inside the shattered cage.
The muscular figure of Genghis Khan in a traditional Mongol suit was displayed before Aaron.
Aerith smiled. She stood outside the purple dome to ensure the fight went well for Aaron. She looked to the side, seeing that Genghis Khan's strength was stronger than the two servants Aaron had previously defeated.
"What's wrong with my body?" asked Genghis Khan, seeing his hands appear transparent.
He looked forward, seeing Aaron standing with both hands stretched out ahead, usefully blocking the wind of Genghis Khan's fire magic energy.
'This is just the beginning, I can feel his power is truly terrifying,' Aaron explained.
"You? Your face looks like those of the Normans. What are you doing? Are you planning to stop my conquest?!" snapped Genghis Khan.
"No, I'm not. Your conquest ended hundreds of years ago. Now, it is my turn to conquer your soul!" said Aaron, summoning two purple flames from dark elemental magic.
"My dynasty has been destroyed? I can't let my legacy be tarnished by a weakling like you!"
With the red magic aura emanating strongly from the area around Genghis Khan, Aaron began to prepare for the situation that might occur. Yet, Aaron couldn't have unleashed his attack if he hadn't known Genghis Khan's every attack pattern.
One of the man's feet stomped into the Dark Dimension floor, creating a powerful wave of energy that spread throughout the arena. Aaron wasn't affected at all.
From his talent portal, a large and burly horse with ancient military trinkets was attached to it. Not only that, but two swords appeared in front of Genghis Khan, which the man grasped firmly.
"If I can defeat you, I can go to my place and make another conquest for the second time!" declared Genghis Khan, planning to seize Aaron's body and remove his soul.
'What will he do?" asked Aaron, curious.
Genghis Khan climbed onto his horse, sitting tall with authority and ferocity all at once. It could be seen that the man began to activate his talent, the Army Project talent with SS Rank.

[Conquest of Three Bloody Nights!]
Riding his horse, he spurred it forward with his right hand extended forward, pointing the curved blade of his sword at Aaron. Aaron dodged the attack with his talent.

[Neutral Gravity Step]
[MP -15000]
[Name: Aaron] [MP: 47000/63000] [-15000]
A light step due to gravity manipulation allowed Aaron to dodge Genghis Khan's attack then flew around and climbed to the top of the protective dome. Aaron was sure that the man on the horse would not be able to catch up with him now.
"He might be strong, but he won't be able to—"
Genghis Khan's figure surprisingly arrived before Aaron with his sword swung from back to front. Aaron widened his eyes, not expecting that Genghis Khan's talent could make him fly.
"Shit!"
Aaron blocked Genghis Khan's swinging sword attack with purple magic from his right hand. However, the man's great strength caused Aaron to be knocked down and landed injured on the Dark Dimension floor.
[Damage -7680]
[Name: Aaron]
[HP: 19820/27500] [ -7680]
"Akh!" groaned Aaron, feeling the pain in his right hand.
Blood flowed from the sword cut of Genghis Khan. Aaron realized something, no matter how strong he withstood Genghis Khan's sword swing, he would still get significant damage based on his HP.
Aaron's right hand trembled violently. He looked up and saw Genghis Khan's figure had disappeared from his sight.
Not wanting to take any chances, Aaron flew in a circle while trying to locate the man hiding in his camouflage mode.
'Where is he hiding?' Aaron asked.
Suddenly, a sword flew towards Aaron from behind. Aerith shouted for Aaron to be careful. Aaron heard Aerith's shout and turned his head, witnessing Genghis Khan chasing him while throwing his swords ahead. Read the latest on empire
The sword cut Aaron's cheek. It was long enough to stretch past his nose to his forehead. Aaron stopped flying, his left hand clutching his wounded face in pain.
Genghis Khan stopped his horse and laughed wickedly at how weak people were in this period. He also swore that he could kill Aaron in the next few attacks. That made Aaron worried.
"Looks like this ability isn't enough to make you die!"

[Parade of the Eastern Conquering Army]
From behind Genghis Khan, thousands of cavalrymen in similar uniform suits arrived with their distinctive swords. Aaron had expected it; his talent was able to project many soldiers.
Aaron certainly didn't want to lose without a fight. He brought up his talent to withstand their attack in the form of an attack.

[Energy Devouring Sword]
[MP -40000]
[Name: Aaron]
[MP: 5000/63000] [-40000]
'I have 5000 MP left in my body. Will I be able to defeat him in this one attack?' Aaron asked, full of doubt in his heart.
Still, Aaron was quite optimistic that he could defeat Genghis Khan with the Energy Absorbing Sword technique.
Aaron's two injured hands began to rise up, gathering much energy from the dark elements to materialize a giant sword.
Genghis Khan grinned; he could finally see the best ability Aaron could show him. The man pointed his sword forward, ordering thousands of his talent-projected soldiers to kill Aaron.
"HYAAA!" shouted Aaron.
The giant sword swung forth, and Genghis Khan shouted loudly, full of ambition to seize Aaron's body and get rid of his soul.
BOM!
A huge explosion of the combination of Dark Magic and Genghis Khan's fire magic filled the top of the protective dome.
A strong gust of wind pushed Aaron far enough back, his hands shaking even more violently, a sign he was already at the limit of his MP.
"Did it work?" Aaron whispered.
Just before the purple and red light faded from the top of the dome, Aaron widened his eyes to see the figure of Genghis Khan appear unexpectedly behind his back.
STAB!
Genghis Khan's two swords thrust firmly into Aaron's body. Aaron vomited blood. He completely didn't calculate Genghis Khan's unexpected attack.
"AARON!"
The man's attack on him this time was absolutely fatal. Aerith stood up with teary eyes; she was wrong by not giving him Additional MP.
"Akh!"
"Now, your body is mine!"
