Hero of Darkness Chapter 468: The Killing Machine

Chapter 468: The Killing Machine

Kahn was too stunned to speak as he saw Ronin's legendary rank form. Even the ma.s.sive 10 meter long blades on his forearms looked like Blades of Chaos that would cut through anything.

The two extensions from his back appeared to be an upgraded version of Vilgax's tentacles but with glimmering blue light coming out of them as if they had a completely different purpose than just choking his enemies to death.

And Ronin's humanoid shape looked simply too agile and slender enough to give him a lot of speed in battle despite his ma.s.sive hundred meter tall frame.

"System, give me his details." commanded Kahn.

Subordinate Ronin now has a suitable body to receive a few of the host's skills.

Hunter's Domain & Lucid Reality skill can be granted to the general using the Impartation Skill.] reported the system.

Given the set of skills and abilities Ronin received… Kahn was asunder on the spot.

Because Ronin's evolution was completely overwhelming as well as received tons of OP skills.

He now had 3 Saint Rank skills already but to top it, there was also a Legendary rank ability.

Like how Armin could heal a soul… Ronin could steal them and actually use them to increase his levels and effectiveness of skills. Which was a major game-changer for Kahn.

With this skillset, Ronin was probably someone with the best a.s.sa.s.sination skills and a custom-made killing machine.

Although the weak monster had weaker souls. A legendary rank creature or even a saint rank individual had a much stronger soul compared to others. So his rise in levels would be extremely fast compared to the others.

And if Ronin ever managed to get his hands on the soul of a chosen Hero… he would probably go straight to the Mythical Rank.

Ronin could also absorb the souls of enemies directly and use them as a source just like world energy to turn invisible and phase s.h.i.+ft to fight and kill his enemies.

This means in a large-scale war, the more he killed, the more energy he would get which would enable him to use his abilities and skills again and again without running out of world energy.

This will be no different than how Kahn used the Peak Saint's Core like an endless supply of world energy while his doppelganger turned it into the s.p.a.ce force.

In Ronin's case, he'd have no limits on how many times he can use his skills using this energy...

"System, give Hunter's Domain and Lucid Reality to Ronin." commanded Kahn.

[Impartation completed.] replied the system.

This whole hunt had turned out very fruitful to Kahn because now, not only he could enter the 2nd layer of the barrier which was also the entrance to the forbidden region but also…

All the regional bosses who caused the annual monster tides were taken care of.

Means from now on, millions of soldiers and normal citizens won't have to die every year like how they did in the past 150 years.

Because of the restrictions of the barrier that prevented Saints from entering this region for the past 200 years… none of these legendary rank monsters were taken care of.

Hence, more than two billion people who lived in Verla.s.sen in the past two hundred years had died.

And finally, it took Kahn, a chosen Hero of a G.o.d to get rid of these monsters and ensure their safety.

Although Kahn could use this opportunity to boast around the entire fiefdom as well as the Rakos Empire… he chose not to.

Because that would force him to reveal too much information he'd rather have kept a secret. Also, he didn't need praise or validation from others to acknowledge his achievements.

With this, Kahn had completed the biggest task of his sovereignty.

To protect the lives of the people.

After the squad was done taking care of the battlefield using Armin and Blackwall's skills, they departed for the entrance, which was their main objective, to begin with.

Their wars.h.i.+p reached the entrance after following the directions told by Vilgax and finally, everyone saw this rumored entrance that no one had been able to access in the past 150 years.

A ma.s.sive gate, filled with archaic patterns and runes that was 200 meters in height and 50 meters in width now stood across their wars.h.i.+p.

The entire body of this enormous door was made from an unknown metal which exuded a high pressured purple aura.

"Master…" said Blackwall as he sensed this familiar purple aura.

"What?" asked Kahn.

Just then… Oliver interjected and spoke.

"It's the same aura that was controlling the other legendary rank monsters." he revealed.

Kahn then had a serious expression on his face as he too found this aura familiar.

"That means whoever sent those legendary rank monsters after us…" he said with a grim tone and continued in a resolute voice…

"Is inside the Forbidden Zone."
