Hero Of Darkness

Chapter 726 Creating Ties



Chapter 726 Creating Ties

The battle of titans finally ended and Omega emerged as the final victor, asserting his dominance over the ginormous corpse of the fallen enemy. Even with the bleeding figure and mauled legs, he still stood firm like a supreme overlord.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Kahn and Ronin in their Legolas and Scorpion appearance came close to the now barely recognizable battlefield while their doppelgangers still guarded the borders, allowing no one to enter in the 40 kilometers of radius.

Wheeze!

Wheeze!

The Hrodvitnir subordinate was breathing heavily and finally, he transformed into his human form again.

Two broken arms with a lot of flesh missing, face and chest full of claw marks while both the legs were lacerating heavily.

Ronin quickly supported Omega and Kahn used whatever makeshift healing skills he had.

Unlike Kahn and Blackwall, Omega didn’t have Rapid Regeneration skill and given his identity as a variant mythical monster, even the high-grade healing and vitality potions wouldn’t be effective. Thus, both of them assisted Omega in whatever way they could since Armin wasn’t here.

“I’m fine. I just need some time to heal.” said Omega, his natural regeneration abilities of fenrir working even faster than the healing spells from Kahn.

Just then, one of the doppelgangers showed the sight that the count’s forces were trying to come here and the ‘Legolas’ present at that part of the border was deterring them from entering, saying that the battle wasn’t finished yet.

“This one… was very strong despite not being at Mythical Rank.” spoke Omega, his victorious smile revealing his satisfaction.

Kahn then nodded and used Attraction to pull out its massive 5 meter tall golden core from its chest.

“This is your reward. You earned it.” he spoke and gave an understanding gaze.

Omega then used the Energy Plunderer skill and the black hole quickly absorbed it. Soon, the world energy inside the core started diffusing inside Omega’s body and his situation became stable as this source of mana and world energy also rose his regeneration ability by manyfolds.

Kahn then looked at the corpse and gave a command.

“Absorb!”

—————-

Two Hours Later.

Kahn was done absorbing Drigger’s abilities without even touching the corpse thanks to the newly evolved Ability Absorption divine ability.

“Dammit! None of the abilities are helpful to me or anyone in our group.” spoke Kahn with a dejected expression.

The abilities he got heavily depended upon the size of the user since the accumulation of sound and vibration waves needed to be done inside the user’s body and their throat needed to be built up in a way it would facilitate using that Sonic Roar skill.

Kahn was only a 6 feet human and currently an elf. Unless he was as big as Drigger or Omega and his lungs were at least a few hundred meters wide like these two ginormous monsters, the skill wouldn’t work.

The only way he’d ever be able to use it is if he transformed into a Titan like Blackwall. But currently, even Kahn’s Titan Transformation skill allowed him only to be 60 meters tall at best.

“Nevermind… let’s leave it for the future.” he said and all 3 of their figures then headed in a particular direction.

—————-

Scorpion and Raiden appeared in front of the count and their forces while Legolas used Shadow Swap to take his doppelganger’s place without anyone noticing anything.

Count Horik and his son were too stunned to speak and gasped in disbelief after seeing Raiden’s sorry state which looked like he wouldn’t make it.

“What happened there? We could hear all those battle noises even from here.” said the old and long-bearded exalted noble.

“It’s done. But our guy got injured. He’s recuperating and needs rest.

We need to go back to our guild quickly to heal him properly.” said Legolas in a hurry.

To see that even a 3rd stage saint like Raiden was wounded so severely and gasping for air… the count and his son could only imagine how terrifying the battle must have been.

Their forces never managed to enter 10 kilometer radius even from the air but Raiden had not only done so but also killed the legendary rank creature.

Just then, Legolas spoke with a disdainful look.

“You’re lucky that it was us.

Other guilds would’ve charged you 50 million for just killing that one monster.” he said in a slightly angered tone.

But the count and his son could not speak a word against his tone as they were the ones at fault since they didn’t provide any prior information as the clients.

“We’re grateful to you… Sir.” responded the old noble in an apologetic tone.

This time, the noble didn’t address Legolas as ‘Mister’ or ‘Guild Leader’ but as ‘Sir’, showcasing his thankfulness and also guilt.

The agreement they had before didn’t mention additional benefits apart from the cores of the legendary rank creatures. Still, the count felt like they had wrongfully taken advantage of the Misthios guild.

Hence, he called Legolas as ‘Sir’… Revealing his willfulness to form a good connection with the former.

“I hope you don’t forget this, lord Horik.

Maybe one day… you could introduce me to your friends from the close circle who are in similar situations as you.” spoke Legolas, showing no restraint in his demanding tone as he ‘requested’ the noble to do him a favor.

Finally after an hour, Legolas and the group received the payment and left using a flying ship provided by the count.

As the night came, they reached their headquarters and Omega was moved to a medical care room where Armin took the lead to heal him.

“Master… I need to go there.” he said to Kahn.

He had absorbed Drigger’s core and now was the best time to make the qualitative rise in strength and levels.

Kahn nodded and summoned the Tablet of Arcana and Omega entered inside to use the Chamber of Exaltation where Rathnaar was to guide Omega on how to use it.

At the same moment inside the exalted noble’s territory…

All the bodies of the massive creatures were brought to their headquarters for salvaging.

As for Drigger’s mountainous body that couldn’t be moved… the Count sent a few thousand experts to harvest it properly.

After looking at how big the monster was… the count and his sons felt like they had survived the biggest trial of their lives.

This was going to be a good haul and the majority of their expenses and losses they incurred till this point would be recovered just from selling the bodies and parts.

Just then, the eldest son spoke…

“Was that elf a fool?

Why didn’t he try to ask for more money or take some share in the profits from these bodies?

Why give all of them to us?”

“Fool you say?

That elf is a visionary individual. He knowingly took such a big loss and made us owe him greatly.

With these resources, we will be able to stand back at our feet again. All of the credit goes solely to the Misthios guild for it.

Do you think the debt we have to repay will be small?” he said with a sarcastic voice.

“You mean… he purposely gave the bodies to us and only took the cores with a hidden intention?” asked the youngest son.

“Yes. Not only we’re greatly indebted to him… I’m certain all those people who were watching from other noble houses, the ones who led these monsters in our domain would also receive the information soon about how the Misthios guild killed all 4 of the legendary monsters.

Soon, the guild itself will become very famous not only in our region but the top players and noble classes whether they’re from our side or the rival factions.

The other noble houses might as well try to establish a friendship with them seeing their capabilities.” revealed count Horik.

He was a nobleman and a businessman possessing deep knowledge and experience in both sectors for decades. Others may not see the future implications but he was an expert who could foresee how things were going to turn out.

“Remember, no matter what… we must get close to this Misthios guild. Establishing deep ties with them and their guild leader should be our top priority.” commended the old noble.

“But why? Aren’t they just a hired force?” queried the eldest son.

“You damn idiot!

This was just one of their saints who fought and killed all those monsters by himself.

And they have a total of 8 Saints in their guild.” he rebuked with an exasperated voice.

“Imagine what they could do in a battle if we hire them as our main force. Unless someone hires the top guild of Alfheim… there’s nobody else who can match their strength.” he declared in a somber voice.

Both the sons were surprised but soon, they understood the truth behind it all.

“You’re right, lord father.” spoke the youngest son.

Although Kahn had given up on many benefits and should’ve charged them a lot of extra money for the job… the intentional losses he made didn’t go in vain.

Because now this opened a path for him and the Misthios guild.

To become a Super Force.
