Hero of Darkness Chapter 86: Returning the Favor

Chapter 86: Returning the Favor

Kahn who had grown numb surprises at this point still felt amazed. Because Ceril had become something he didn't actually expect to happen.

Necromancer! Ceril was now a Necromancer!

Kahn had already declined this Divine Ability when he was offered a choice. Because the 3 Divine Abilities he chose were more tempting to him.

Even though Ceril's current abilities couldn't amount to someone with that Divine Ability, this still had opened many doors to Kahn and in the future, Ceril would definitely play a pivotal role for him.

"All of you, come with me." spoke Kahn and they started walking towards the previous tunnel where they had fought and killed the skeleton army of the undead Lich.

Now that Ceril had become a Necromancer, he had the skills to Summon the undead and also cast his normal mage spells, making him a variant who could do both. Because normally, no Lich or a mage could cast Dark magic spells along with other magic element spells at the same time. They had to make sacrifices and give up on one side.

If Ceril evolved further.. He could be one of the strongest Necromancers only second to the one with the Divine Ability. Kahn already decided that if he ever came across another of such enemy, he'd prioritize on upgrading Ceril.

"Summon them and make them part of your army." commanded Kahn.

"Yes, my Lord." spoke Ceril in his hollow and grim tone. He started casting various magic spells and the 5 Grimoires around him floated.

A dark fog emitted from his body and these books, spreading around the thousands of bones and engulfed them one by one. Their broken bones started reattaching and the bodies of the skeleton soldiers started standing up one by one including the huge skeletal warrior they previously killed.

In just 10 minutes, around 500 skeleton soldiers stood inside this cave-like s.p.a.ce and almost filled the entirety of it.

"System, can they be counted as my subordinates?" asked Kahn.

[Yes. However, they are not directly under the control of the host but subordinate named Ceril, the Necromancer. The host is allowed to store them by granting them Shadow Merge skill that can be shared using Ceril as a medium.] replied the system.

Kahn found it reasonable because it wasn't him who directly created them. He would've if he had any dark magic reserves left inside him, but he didn't because he used it all up to evolve Ceril. Besides, they were still his minions because at the end of the day, he was the boss of their boss.

Kahn then pointed his s.p.a.ce ring towards this army and in a matter of seconds, a huge pile of weapons, armors and magical artifacts ranging from Common rank to Rare rank was placed in front of him. There were more than 300 weapons, 200 armors and 50 magical artifacts.

These were from the stock he had gotten by robbing the treasury of the Sigurd clan and leftovers from when his army killed the Scarlet Lion guild members and looted their belongings.

So it was the best time to use them. Because this army of undead was definitely going to prove more useful and increase his side's attacking strength.

After the majority of them were equipped, there were still more than 150 who didn't get anything. Kahn decided that he would give them the gears later.

"Let's go. It's time to leave." said Kahn and departed the dungeon. It was already evening and his usual time to return to his home.

With his current wealth, he could easily buy a small mansion for living but given how he didn't have the habit to get attached to materialistic things, he found it a waste of money. He didn't even know how long he would stay in this city.

Instead of directly going to the house, he went to a high-cla.s.s dining restaurant and ordered a hearty meal. Because this time when he 'supposedly' died.. His biggest regret wasn't about not being able to live his life where he was happy, loved or respected.. Rather, it was not being able to eat all the delicious food this new world had to offer.

Because there were too many amazing dishes and spices he had tasted and wanted to eat rather than just food full of nothing but sugar, b.u.t.ter, cheese and oil in his previous life. If he failed to enjoy thousands of delicacies before dying again.. Then he would feel disgusted & disappointed at himself.

The waiters and the cooks of this restaurant had a run for their lives because Kahn alone had ordered food enough for 5 people and wolfed on these mouth-watering, aromatic dishes and drinks like there was no tomorrow.

BURP!

After an hour, he was finally done and felt satisfied. Feeling content, he paid 600 gold coins and left. 100 of which were just the tip for the waiters & the chefs for meeting his pace of eating.

When midnight finally came, he fell asleep in his comfortable and king-size bed. Today had given him a lot of life lessons on how to never underestimate your enemy even though he was always cautious and how to appreciate the things that you find comfortable and relaxing.

Ever since he came into this world.. He didn't have a single day of proper relaxation so he thought it'd be best to take few days off from his usual hunting things and killing enemies.

But just when he had entered his merry sleep and finally closed his eyes.. His ears & Survival Instinct picked up a presence one kilometer away, heading towards him very silently.

Kahn got out of the bed and the figure stood outside of his huge window.

"Enter." he said and ordered the figure that was using Stealth at this moment.

An invisible person walked in and a figure of an a.s.sa.s.sin appeared in front of him.

"Mister Kahn.. The Magistrate hopes that you keep your promise and deliver upon it." said the Elven a.s.sa.s.sin.

It was the same Elven a.s.sa.s.sin who once did research on Kahn and reported it to the old Lionkin magistrate.

"We talked just this morning. Is he really that much in hurry?" asked Kahn.

"Time is of the essence, Sir. Here's the list of 3 people the Magistrate wants you to get rid of. And the time margin is only 3 days. He also told me to tell you that the sooner you repay the favor, the more convenient things would be for both the sides." said the Elven a.s.sa.s.sin and handed Kahn an envelope.

Kahn opened the envelope and there was a list of names and their details written on them. But after reading the list, Kahn was stunned and shouted..

"Is he f.u.c.king crazy?! Does he want to put the entire city on war?!"
