Hero of Darkness Chapter 398: The Main Reason

Chapter 398: The Main Reason

Kahn looked at the kneeling knight general in front of him. At this moment, Blackwall had an elated and excited expression as if his long-time wish was finally fulfilled. And unlike Rudra, he truly intended to be useful to his master in day-to-day life but couldn't do so in the past 1 year because he hadn't met the conditions of crossing level 100 and becoming a lord rank monster.

"Master, I don't have proper weapons and armors for this new form of mine." spoke Blackwall.

"Don't worry. The old man will be done making new gears for everyone from the body of the Invimarak soon.

They will definitely be many times better than even the best of the epic rank armors and weapons you can get normally since the material is the body of a legendary monster.

Based on its innate abilities, I'm sure all of them will be a lot resistant to magical and physical attacks.

So you will need to only wait for some time." said Kahn as he a.s.sured the general.

Plus they had to customize new weapons and armors for him anyway. So Albestros could make a proper gear set for him.

"Besides… Do you even need armor at this point?" asked Kahn nonchalantly.

Given the skills and innate abilities the abyss knight had… this guy didn't even need a bulletproof jacket. He was no different than Superman facing a tank. The latter had no effect on the former.

"He certainly needs one!" suddenly, Ronin spoke in a jolted voice.

"Why?" asked Kahn.

Ronin then telepathically told him the reason.

Kahn's eyes were wide open after the realization and he too nodded in agreement with the rogue general.

The half-naked Blackwall was too much fanservice for the thirsty ladies. Just having Jugram stand among them was already enough. And if they had Blackwall in this getup… that was like calling out unnecessary attention to their group.

At the present moment, both Kahn and Ronin were questioning their masculinity since two of generals were 3 times bigger than them.

Because regardless of what a woman says… size does matter.

Schwoaahhh!!

3 days later, Kahn's warship landed back in the main military headquarters and he held another meeting between the officers and everyone who was in charge of looking after the affairs of the border of the North.

Even Commander Mormont was present here at this moment.

"We have taken care of the regional boss. It was a legendary rank frost giant." spoke Kahn.

Gasp!!

The entire room was filled with the gasps of the officers and management officials.

Kahn outright lied to them for his own reasons.

"But how? Even venturing in the deeper parts of the northern border was impossible in the past hundred and fifty years.

So how did you do it, my lord?" asked Commander Stark.

Kahn then simply took out two potion bottles. One red and one green.

"The red one kept our bodies warm for a longer duration and the green one contains the venom of the previous legendary monster we killed in the Hiryano region.

Since our group contained only three people, we successfully managed to reach the inner regions of the north.

We didn't even fight it. We simply poisoned the food offered by the underlings. And it took days for it to die." said Kahn.

No way he was going to reveal his real strength or too many questionable details of their fight. Because that would raise more problems since no way a semi-saint would be able to kill a legendary rank monster that was comparable to a saint.

After their discussion finished and they boarded their warships to depart… Kahn spoke to the rogue general.

"Ronin, after we return… make sure to gather information about the history of the Verla.s.sen mountain range.

Every regional boss we met so far is a legendary rank monster. And there are still 3 more hotspots we have to visit. We're most likely to meet 3 more of such monsters.

This can't be a coincidence." he ordered.

"I too believe that something is controlling all these monsters and that's why they're causing these monster tides every year for no reason." said Jugram.

"But my lord… the whole Verla.s.sen fiefdom is 8,000 kilometers wide. What can control these legendary monsters and that too from this far distance between them?" asked Ronin.

Just then, Blackwall who appeared out of Kahn's shadow spoke.

"This has also come to my mind, master. And I think we have a possible lead."

"What is it?" asked Kahn while the other generals as well as Omega who were back together looked at him.

"What else is 8,000 kilometers wide in this fiefdom and also encompa.s.ses it?" asked Blackwall rhetorically.

Just then, Kahn and the others realized one thing…

"The invisible dome that stops all the saints from entering!" all of them exclaimed in unison.

"Yes. There must be a reason why it exists and the main cause behind it must have been kept secret from the past two centuries." said Kahn as he came to a realization.

"Could it be related to the mission they told me to complete?" asked Kahn to himself.

Also, there was one thing bugging him till this point.

That despite having so many monsters occupying this region of the empire, the government was still sending weaker troops.. Fewer semi-saints. And yet they encouraged people to live here.

"There is something big happening.

There is some sort of truth that I'm not aware of." spoke Kahn.

After returning to Aesir, Kahn entered a section of his castle where all the records and archives of the Verla.s.sen fiefdom were kept.

He ordered Mr. Rotich, his official aide, to hire a few hundred historians within a week and allow them to access the records.

And finally after 6 days, nearly 300 historians and those who dealt in ancient archives come to their castle.

The deal was simple…

They get the money, the knowledge of these records. And in return, Kahn wanted them to find the records of the happenings of 200 years ago.

To keep the matter a secret, he had all of the historians sign a blood-bind contract.

And after 3 days.. They finally found him obscure records and gave their collective report.

Kahn's eyes were wiped open, full of disbelief as he read the real reason of this dome's existence that barred every saint from entering inside the Verla.s.sen fiefdom.

"So that's what happened 200 years… it was the previous Hero of Lightning. The one summoned after my predecessor, the 8th Hero of Darkness killed all the other Heroes." he said and his hand almost lost the grip after he read the final line…

"But... He actually died in that place!"
