Hero of Darkness

Chapter 45: Another one!

Kahn started absorbing the abilities of the dead Minotaur floor boss of this dungeon. And since it was a Lord Rank monster, it took him much longer than usual to finish the Ability Absorption process.

"System, show me the list."

[The host has acquired the following abilities & skills :

Ground Splitter (Active) :

The host can condense mana and land a devastating blow at the ground/surface and create crevices around the 5-meter range in all directions.

Field Pressure (Active) :

Allows the host to fill the surrounding 30 meters of space with heavy gravitational pressure to slow down enemy movements.

Health Regeneration (Passive) :

Allows the host to constantly regenerate health during a battle at high speed.

Minotaur Aura (Passive) :

Allows the host to command and exert dominance over Minotoris species monsters & individuals.

Minotoris Bloodline absorbed.

Current Bloodline purity : 138%]

"Nice. Show me abilities available in Synthesis." Kahn commended.

Just by looking at the skills he absorbed.. Kahn realized how big of a bullet he dodged by killing all the minotaurs in the city. Because given the abilities of the Minotaur Boss, it wouldn't be a problem for it to swarm its enemies with an army of hundred or so minotaurs that were present in the city and since each of them was extremely strong, Kahn and his small army would easily be wiped out in an open & frontal clash.

No wonder hundreds of adventurer teams met their doom on this floor in the past decade alone.

[Out of the newly acquired abilities, Field Pressure can be merged under War Dominance aura and Hunter Intent to increase their effectiveness and range of abilities. The rest of the newly acquired abilities currently do not mix or are compatible with the other abilities & skills the host has.]

"Huh.. So even that can happen?" Kahn thought as it was the first time there were not any possible results for ability merging. Maybe as the system said, there needed a certain level of compatibility.

"Well, there's always a first." spoke Kahn and began creating new subordinates by merging the already created minotaur subordinates that unlocked the evolution skill.

He spent the next 2 hours just to finally get a result of a Half Lord Rank subordinate after using the current Minotaur bloodline purity he had & a lot of monster cores.

"Blackwall, come here." ordered Kahn as Blackwall, the Guardian Knight subordinate walked in front of him. Kahn then put his hand on Blackwall & the newly created subordinate and the other one the dead body of the dead minotaur boss.

[50 B Rank monster cores are required for the synthesis to be successful.]

"Again? You're tearing me apart, system!" he growled in discontent. Because he was running out of monster cores at this rate. Even though the current Kahn was filthy rich, he was still restricted on his high-grade monster cores stash. And recently, the system was asking too much of these cores for Evolution to succeed.

First it was Omega, then Oliver and now Blackwall.

useful skills such as Field Pressure, Health Regeneration & Ground Splitter which could not only make a damn strong attack subordinate but also someone who can have crowd control skills, AoE attacks & with incredible defense. That was basically the definition of a great Tank

Omega was only good at dealing damage and dodge quickly with his abilities & stats, but his defense was average at best. And a team formation never works if you don't have a strong and powerful tank who can bear the brunt of devastating attacks and hold the line while other team members

spending an hour, the Evolution for Blackwall was finally complete. Now he was even firmer, broader and the 3 meter Guardian Knight was now 12 meters tall, more ripped in physique than the original body of the yellow minotaur. He didn't have a snout like the Minotaur but a Human face and horns
