Hero of Darkness-Novel

Chapter 418 - New Ranker

Kahn watched Kassandra depart while being surrounded by thousands of soldiers and hundreds of royal guards. This was probably the last time he would ever see her because he was aware that without the ability to use magic… her life was going to change for the worse.

Yet there was nothing he could do to help. He had already played a part in at least keeping her alive. The thorny path that awaited her now was something she'd have to walk on alone.

As the evening came… Kahn sent his orders to the Covenant Army. To remove the ginormous body of the Caladrius that still hadn't started decaying given the fact that it was a legendary rank creature that lay behind his castle.

Following his orders, 2 warships came and a couple of thousand covenant soldiers that were comprised of criminals such as rapists, murderers and all kinds of heinous crimes; but now served as Kahn's slaves, tied down the body of this creature that could kill all of them with its aura alone.

The massive 200 meters tall warships that had the width of a kilometer on their own had hundreds of metallic cables hooked in that tied down the corpse of the monster. And the sky around the capital Aesir gave all the citizens a glimpse of the enormous creature that caused the deaths of so many people.

Those who previously doubted its existence saw Caladrius with their own eyes and everyone was reminded of Kahn's overwhelming speech again.

A hundred kilometers away from Aesir, in a mountain region, the warships finally dropped the legendary creature on the ground along with the massive head that was tied to its body.

Kahn then ordered over eight thousand soldiers to surround the 5 kilometers region in all four directions and sent all of them away.

Flap!

Flap!

"Given the price I had to pay… this bastard better give me some god-tier abilities." said Kahn as he put both hands over the cut-down neck of this gigantic creature.

"Absorb!"

After 5 hours, Kahn was finally done with Ability Absorption divine ability doing its work.

"System, report." commanded Kahn.

Bloodline : Godbeast Roc

Current bloodline purity : 37%] reported the system.

Kahn on the other end had nothing but a poker face.

"Thank you and no thank you!" he exclaimed.

All these abilities were simply too demanding. And as of now.. He couldn't even use a single one of them.

Although he understood the reason, it was still too unbearable given all the expectations he had.

All of these skills were too powerful and would benefit him in a large-scale battle if he ever had the occasion of fighting an army of hundred thousand enemies himself.

And with the potential they had after he leveled up and so did these skills… he'd be no different than an air force squadron himself.

"Why the fuck can't I get a flying skill?" asked Kahn in an exasperated tone.

Because the recent encounter with the Mountain Titan and the Caladrius monster had shown him the biggest demerit he had at this point.

He didn't have a single flying skill he could use in a battle. And waiting to become a Saint first was a luxury he couldn't afford given the future expeditions he had to do in upcoming months.

[Because the host's current body can not handle the wingspan. It's simply too big. and this bloodline. The host will need to become a saint and this physical ability will automatically activate.] reminded the system again.

However, the biggest benefit he received for now is that all the wind elemental skills rose by 2 to 3 ranks and most of them became SSS Rank themselves.

"Ugh… thank you for the harsh reminder again." said Kahn in an annoyed tone.

"I guess I have no choice but to wait." he said.

"Alright then. Come out." spoke Kahn and suddenly, a general with two black wings jumped out of his shadow.

The reason why he brought this general in his shadow was because he didn't want anyone to link the disappearance of this ginormous body with this subordinate of his.

The black-winged and brown-haired archer general knelt in front of Kahn with a content expression as he too was finally getting a rank up after a long time.

"Let's hope you're much luckier than me…" said Kahn and spoke the general's name with a grin…

"Oliver."
