Hero of Darkness

Chapter 33: Hunting the Boss

Kahn was completely out of his wits for the first time since he absorbed the Somir's core and inherited its will which changed Kahn's demeanor.

He was able to always keep a calm mind even when facing someone like Stragabor.

But now he could not believe his eyes. What he thought was a Half-Lord rank subordinate was actually a Lord rank monster. It was beyond the results he expected.

"System, how did this happen?" Kahn asked the system because only it could explain the reason behind this result.

[System detects that the subordinate Omega already had 2% bloodline purity of the Godbeast named Fenrir. During the Synthesis procedure, the determined will of the subordinate to become more useful to the host triggered this bloodline. Since Kobasu are also descendants of the Lykos species tree, the bloodline was activated to a higher degree and caused this transformation.]

"My my.. To think that I would have someone who would be so loyal to me.." Kahn said and ruffled Omega's head. He was genuinely overjoyed for Omega.

Now he understood why people treated their pets as part of the family. Because they too cared about their masters.

"System, how strong is Omega now compared to other people I've met?" Kahn questioned as he didn't know how to exactly decide tiers of Strength so he could only compare.

[Subordinate Omega is currently comparable to a Beginner Grandmaster rank person in terms of strength & attack capacity. Subordinate needs to raise its level to reach and utilize its full potential.]

"I see. If Omega fights with Arkham, what are his winning chances?"

[Subordinate has only 30% chance to defeat the individual named Arkham Holland, who is a Peak Grandmaster rank Magic Swordsman.]

"Hmm.. So they're really that strong. I guess I have no choice but to raise my levels quickly. I can't be at their mercy when the time comes. They won't uphold the end of their deal if I'm any weaker than both of them." spoke Kahn.

He was no idiot. He currently lacked a lot of strength and skills compared to the truly strong people in Flavot city. All they needed to do was attack so quickly that Kahn could not even react in time and he'd be dead on the spot.

Even though Omega & Rudra were his shields, there was no certainty that they'd always be able to help him either. At the end of the day, he had to rely on his own capabilities.

then, Kahn heard a warning in his head. The warning he received was through his connection with his other subordinates..
