Hero of Darkness

Kahn now stood in Throk's secret forge where the old dwarf worked on extremely important commissions of weapons and armors. So far, only Kahn and his subordinates were aware of this place.

Kahn even spent some time here during his initial training period but later, he and Blackwall were ordered to work in the production line to actually increase their crafting speed and efficiency while improving their skills since mass production of goods demanded skilled craftsmanship.

And just 5 days after he became a semi-saint Artificer by training 16 times harder and faster for the past 1 month to meet enough requirements… The saint blacksmith summoned all of them together here for the 2nd time.

Kahn and the crew looked around the forge. After Kahn was done with completely absorbing the remaining darkness attribute and elemental aura in the body, he gave the remaining half of the body as well.

But now, there wasn't a single trace left of the ginormous dragon that was guarding the final barrier in Verlassen fiefdom when Kahn and the group went there to acquire the tablet of Arcana.

"As I promised… they're all done." said Throk as he played with his grizzly white and unkempt beard and had a prideful as well as a content smirk on his face.

Swoosh!!

A white light suddenly flashed out of nowhere and quickly in front of Kahn and the Six Generals… a set of Armor and Weapons for all of them appeared respectively.

Only Omega was the one left out here.

And the aura… even Kahn and Blackwall who were now knowledgeable and on par with the majority of famous blacksmiths of the empire were simply too stunned.

Other subordinates didn't understand how incredibly fantastic and top-notch quality work this was but both of them just couldn't help admiring these with a look of worshipping.

Every single one of these armor sets was made with the dragon's body parts and all the weapons were forged using the dragon's horns; which was the sturdiest and hardest part to process while forging.

Even when Kahn and Blackwall were frozen due to their enlightenment, Throk hadn't stopped forging these even for a day and just like their agreement, he was finally done after 1 and a half year.

Kahn first looked at the newly upgraded Drakos Armor.

This Drakos Armor that was made by Albestros Winston using the Magma Drake's body was no longer Black and Red in color but rather Black with Violet outlines.

Kahn understood this new appearance came to be because of the guardian dragon whose body they used for reforging had only black and violet scales, claws and horns.

Previously, the armor was sturdy yet bulky. Like that of a Tank or a Knight. But after Throk reforged it while keeping the base and mixing it with the higher quality materials of the Lesser Dragon's body… the result was completely out of Kahn's expectations.

Because now… it was lightweight, compact and had no excess of design flaws in any part of the armor. Forget a warrior… it looked more like armor made for an Assassin from the overall look with even a hood made of dragon's hide.

But at the same time, Kahn could feel that it was sturdier and the defense was 3 times higher compared to the time after Drakos Armor was upgraded to Legendary Rank after Kahn himself became a Saint.

Kahn used Mimir's Eyes and Prometheus' Forethought. Two of the gifts given by the Blacksmithing Deities aka Brokkr and Eitri.

And after he and Blackwall inspected and hidden runes that were intrinsically carved and perfectly hidden under the layers of furnishings… both of them were left speechless again.

This was a major upgrade instead of just adding some extra look and designs because these runes were the top-grade Dwarven and Elven runes mixed to form the perfect balance.

Both of them were now Semi-Saint Artificers… so they couldn't instantly tell how greatly these archaic runes would enhance and buff these armors during a battle.

"Listen brats. I wanted to use the Dragon's hide for your normal clothes too. But your normal attires are made from the Invimarak skin.

Among all the legendary monsters… Only the Invimarak doesn't have any specific element attached to its body.

So these are still the best for defense and agility when you lot are going about your normal lives." he said in a thoughtful tone.

Blackwall nodded in response but it was indeed the fact.

"But whenever any of you equip these armors…

The Dragon's Aura will naturally leak and it will be noticeable. Although I made it so that no one other than you guys can use them… it's better to avoid the greedy eyes of the people.

Anything made of a dragon's body is considered a treasure trove even for the Imperial Clan.

So I'd advise you to use them only when you're in a pinch and not for just any casual fights you are confident in winning." he explained.

All of them understood his worries because even they could feel this oppressing aura filled with Regality oozing out of the armors and their respective weapons.

[And I'm sure this won't be the end effect.] thought Kahn.

He was certain that System would give him good news after scanning the armor and the Draconian Bloodline effect kicked in.

Even with only 5% Draconian Bloodline purity, Drakos Armor was already better than many Epic Rank armors. And now that Kahn possessed 35% purity… once the bloodline effect was applied during a fight… his battle prowess was going to rise by a lot.

Hell, he felt like even fighting a 3rd stage saint while using the new Drakos Armor would be enough to even the playing field. And that too without using the Asura Mode or Berserk God Mode.

This was much more than what they had initially expected.

So overall, what Throk made for Kahn is already the best of the best with the type of materials he gave him to reforge their armor sets that Albestros previously made for them in the Rakos empire. Every single one of them was now at the Legendary rank thanks to his master's skills.

While everyone rejoiced, there was one member of the crew who hadn't received anything.

"As for you, lad…"

Throk spoke and then looked at Omega with a grin.

"I have made something very special."
