Hero of Darkness-Novel

On Kahn's left side… stood the Guardian Knight subordinate who was still only at Lord Rank general despite having been created nearly a year ago. It wasn't that Kahn had been intentionally neglecting this subordinate but rather, he never had a proper specimen to merge with this general who was a variant minotaur.

But right after Kahn managed to kill this titan… the first thought that came into his mind was ranking up Blackwall.

Not out of pity but because among all of the generals, Blackwall was the most suitable subordinate to be mixed with this decedent of the primordial bloodline. And unlike others, he also didn't have any particular element attached to his body either.

Omega was a Magic Swordsman proficient in lightning element and quick attacks. Ronin was an Assassin well versed in using poison and toxin-related skills since he was merged with a dungeon boss with the same skills.

Oliver was an Emerald Archer who had the variant Garuda bloodline and the sky was his domain. Jugram was a Hell Berserker general with the variant True Demon bloodline called the Chaos Demon; having fire as his main element.

Armin was a Healer and an Alchemist after merging with Grandmaster Leshen aka Prithvi Aranya. Because of this, the Wood element became his main forte after the upgrade.

Ceril on the other end was an Undead with Darkness element. He shared the same darkness element and dark magic skills similar to Kahn after merging with an Undead Lich.

As for Rudra… he now had the Magma element associated with him after he successfully absorbed the body and the bloodline of the magma drake.

All of the generals and the first two subordinates were specialized in a profession and an element of their own.

However, only the Guardian Knight subordinate was left behind after he was merged with a Minotaur dungeon boss and never had a chance to become useful in a battle because he couldn't take a human form due to the rank limitations. He needed to at least be a High Lord and past level 100 for it.

As of now, Blackwall himself was level 148 but he never got the upgrade he needed to become useful to his master.

And now… the judgment day had finally arrived.

"Master… I might sound selfish but please leave its core to me." spoke Blackwall as he knelt on his left knee and asked in a pleading tone.

"Alright. I already have a first-stage saint's core. So there's no need for me to use it when I'm ready to break through to saint rank. Besides… it's too big for me to eat anyway." spoke Kahn as he understood what Blackwall meant.

Because when merged with a complete body along with the core of a monster, there was a 100% chance for the resultant to become even a stronger version than without the core during the Synthesis procedure.

Without giving it a second thought, Kahn gave his command.

"Merge!"

[The synthesis divine ability requires 50 thousand SS Rank mana cores and ores to make up for the difference between stats and rank since the subordinate named Blackwall is only a Lord Rank being.] suddenly, the system alerted.

"Ah, I remember this. It also happened when I upgraded Omega to a lord rank Lycan." said Kahn.

In the past, even a thousand SS Rank mana cores were a big deal when he ran the Bloodborne company in the capital Rathna. But now… even a million of these cores were no different than pocket change for Kahn.

"Take it." spoke Kahn and suddenly, the required resources disappeared from his space ring.

The following moment, both Blackwall and the corpse of the Mountain Titan were covered in a black shadow which then started coalescing together. Thus, the Synthesis Divine Ability becoming active again.

Although Kahn lost nearly 10 thousand Velkas, the upgraded version of the frost giants along with the high-rank mana cores and ores used to create them… there was no sense of regret on his face. Because compared to the huge benefits he received, it was nothing but…

A small price to pay for salvation.

Meanwhile… Kahn commanded the system to give him the details on the newly acquired abilities.

"System, report."

Kahn was frozen on the spot after reading through all the new skills. His eyes almost dropped out of the sockets and Kahn shouted in a loud voice full of disbelief…

"Brooooooo!! This is too much!"
