Chaos Heir

Chapter 1255: Storm

The almost three months after Tamara’s rescue had been the greatest holiday Khan could have asked for.

Life on the ship had been peaceful, calm, fulfilling, and overflowing with happiness. Its minor discomforts couldn’t matter when Khan had the love of his wife and the company of such dear friends.

In a way, that time had been a perfect example of a normal life. Khan had been able to ignore almost everything, focusing on aspects his curse had always postponed or destroyed. That was what Khan could have been, but that ship had sailed long ago, and he didn’t forget about it.

The isolated environment and peaceful time had allowed Khan to play the ordinary husband. Liiza had also prevented the worst-case scenario when Ilman and Zalpa had found them, but the situation was different now.

Someone had fired at the ship holding Khan’s pregnant wife. Those bullets had been nothing more than warning shots, but that didn’t matter. Liiza had never been in danger, but that didn’t matter, either.

Khan only thought about the fact that someone had been willing to commit such an act. Of course, the spherical ships didn’t know everything, but that didn’t matter. It seemed someone in the universe still believed Khan could be messed with, and he had to fix that.

Violent urges flooded Khan’s mind, echoing past his body and affecting his surroundings. His steps cut the floor, and his emotions bent the metal. Purple-red light also shone all over him, consuming Liiza’s red marks.

A symphony of destruction resonated in every inch of Khan’s senses. The ship and the world as a whole wanted to break apart. Entropy was the real face of the universe, and Khan wouldn’t even need to lift a finger to enable it.

Nevertheless, Khan didn’t. His cells came alive, bringing him into the air as he kept advancing through the ship. That didn’t do much to control his aura, but it somewhat limited the damage his presence was inflicting on the surrounding surfaces.

The artificial lights along the way also started flickering or stopped functioning altogether, but Khan barely noticed it. His mind was already outside that brittle environment, and his body joined it when he forced open the ship’s entrance.

The mana barrier threatened to crumble at Khan’s passage, but the event was brief enough to let it remain intact. As soon as Khan crossed it, the cumbersome ship flew away, carried by its uninterrupted momentum and leaving him behind and alone in the black expanse.

Khan didn’t look at his distancing ship even once. His glowing gaze was in the opposite direction, staring at the empty space, waiting for the other fleet. Blue lights eventually appeared in his vision while the remaining red tattoos on him vanished, but more accompanied them.

The Kros’ fleet stayed true to its warning. The cumbersome ship and the vessels occupied by the Nele didn’t stop after the first round of bullets, so the aliens fired another.

Khan had exited the ship just in time to catch that second volley, and studying it enraged him even more. Space didn’t have a symphony he could use, but his mana reserves were bottomless, and he only needed a tinge of that energy to generate a destructive shockwave.

Khan didn’t move or perform any gestures. A tinge of purple-red mana escaped from his right arm before exploding outward, sending an invisible attack at the incoming barrage of bullets.

The shockwave wasn’t powerful, but it carried Khan’s destructive nature. It crashed into the incoming bullets, and the latter pierced it, but their fabric immediately crumbled.

The volley of harmless bullets broke apart. Those shots stopped and exploded into blue clouds that merged into a single, large blemish in that dark expanse. That energy also began to disperse, but a very different process started as soon as Khan materialized inside it.

A purple-red light expanded through the cloud of energy, taking over its blue shades and transforming it on a fundamental level. That mana condensed and churned, giving birth to blinding sparks that released no sound.

Khan’s intervention didn’t stop the spherical ships. Some did slow down, planning to face him, but others kept flying at full speed, probably aiming to continue that chase.

Nevertheless, Khan lifted his arm, and proper lightning bolts instantly formed inside that destructive cloud. Their light intensified, but the environment still prevented their thundering roars from spreading.

Of course, that detail hardly mattered since Khan sent the lightning bolts forward, planning to let his spell’s power speak for itself.

The lightning bolts didn’t target any of the incoming spherical ships. Khan just sent them forward, making them cover as much space as possible before detonating them.

The spells exploded before the Kros’ fleet, unleashing spherical storms that created a destructive barrier anyone would be terrified to cross. The chaos element’s properties also messed with the ships’ equipment, but the aliens could still fly around it. Yet, they didn’t.

Khan waited in his position, keeping the remaining crackling mana around him while watching the dispersing storms in the distance. His single gesture had created a proper calamity in the middle of space, and the Kros seemed to respect its power.

However, once the distant storm lost its power and began to disperse, a series of cylindrical items pierced it, flying at high speed through the dark expanse to converge on Khan.

Technology had never been Khan’s strong suit, and he was also clueless about the Kros’ weaponry, but he could recognize missiles when he saw them. The spherical ships had actually decided to attack him, and his anger flared even more, stirring his cells awake.

Khan almost felt the urge to hiss while mana gathered in his throat. A blinding light shone in his mouth before he released a crackling beam of purple-red energy that crashed into a few incoming missiles, obliterating them out of existence.

Many other missiles escaped that clash, but Khan tilted his head, moving the beam around before adding more mana to it. The attack obliterated more weapons before reaching the critical point, exploding into a blinding star that illuminated that empty darkness.
