Hero of Darkness Chapter 412: Repaying Debt

Chapter 412: Repaying Debt

Kahn now lay besides Ka.s.sandra whose condition seemed to be worsening with each pa.s.sing hour. And after a reminded from Armin about the procedure being painful… Kahn braced himself for the agony he was about to go through soon.

There were two main reasons why Kahn made this decision to save Ka.s.sandra even at the cost of sacrificing a portion of his soul.

One of them being regardless of her reasons… the fact remained that Ka.s.sandra had indeed saved Kahn's life.

Because even if he had somehow managed to live after getting hit with that soul attack from Caladrius… he'd either faint or be in a helpless state where the legendary monster could simply kill him with any of its wind elemental skill.

Even Armin would not have been able to protect him in that state because Blackwall and Oliver had already fainted and he himself had no offensive skills or hiding skills to protect Kahn.

If not for Ka.s.sandra protecting him in that last moment with the protection barrier which was many times stronger and defensive compared to any barrier Kahn could cast himself as he was an Intermediate Rank magician as well… he managed to live and also fight back after he survived from that devastating skill.

Unlike some morons thinking that he was acting like a Simp... Any reasonable person with a self-consciousness would be able to see that he was actually repaying a life debt.

If he didn't do anything for the person who saved him from a certain death knowing that there was a way... Would Kahn be able to even call himself a man?

The second reason was pretty obvious. If she died… the wrath of the Mikealson Clan, the three n.o.ble factions defaming him throughout the empire would be extremely hard to deal with.

Although he had managed to kill of the Caladrius to quell the anger of the people and avenge the fallen soldiers of the military border… this would also raise unnecessary questions.

Because no semi-saint had ever managed to kill a legendary rank monster in the thousand years since the empire was formed. And Kahn didn't want to attract too much attention to this topic as it'd entail him revealing too many of his secrets he didn't want anyone to know.

Just then, Armin spoke as he placed few artifacts and runestones around them.

"Master, you will be in a weakened state for few days. And as I extract a portion of your soul… it will be unbearable.

So you will have to endure it no matter what. Because if we fail… your soul will be damaged just like her. Although you won't die… but the price to pay for it won't be cheap." warned Armin again.

"Begin." spoke Kahn and took a deep breath.

The following second, Armin moved behind the bed and placed his palms on both Kahn and Ka.s.sandra's heads.

Clink!

Clatter!

A large burst of green aura emitted from his body and shook the room. And that very aura then covered Kahn and Ka.s.sandra at the same time.

Crack! Crack!

BOOM!!

Kahn's black and red aura suddenly erupted out of his body and so did Ka.s.sandra's purple aura.

Kahn suddenly felt like his blood was being sucked out as his skin started becoming dry.

Crack!

Multiple cracks formed over skin regardless the part of the body and Kahn's felt like he had turned into a hard wooden tree that was completely dried up.

"Arrrrgghhh!!!" wailed Kahn and clenched his teeth.

At this moment, he felt like dying hundred deaths with each pa.s.sing moment while thousands of spikes pierced through every inch of his body.

His breathing fastened and his body trembled in immeasurable pain.

"Aaaaahhhhhhh!!" he screamed as his head felt like a ma.s.sive hammer dropped on him and crushed his brain.

Just like Armin forewarned, extracting a part of someone's soul was a very excruciatingly painful method.

While Kahn kept wailing in agony… Blood started leaking out of his eyes and mouth. Soon, his ears started bleeding as well as if his inner organs had stopped functioning and burst inside his body.

"Arkkwhhh!" Kahn started choking on his blood.

He quickly spat out a chunk of it but still did not let go of Ka.s.sandra's hand.

Thanks to the SS rank Rapid Regeneration skill that he got form the Mountain t.i.tan… he was healing very quickly as well.

However, that did not help in subsiding the agonizing pain in any way.

And as the procedure continued… Kahn roared and shouted like a madman inside the room but he was still enduring it despite all the pain.

Kahn was going through h.e.l.l at this moment with his sheer will alone.

1 HOUR LATER.

After Kahn enduring this pain mind-wrecking agony for a full hour… Armin finally managed to take a balloon shaped bright white light with a faint blue tinge out of Kahn's body and using his green aura as his intangible hands… he covered Ka.s.sandra under it.

Kahn, who still held her hand felt like all of his energy was being pa.s.sed from his body to Ka.s.sandra through their palms.

And under Armin's green aura… the blinding white light was completely absorbed by Ka.s.sandra's unconscious body.

"Phew! It is done…" said Armin as he looked at Kahn with an expression of relief.

However, his expression turned ashes the very next moment.

Kahn's sweaty and exhausted figure… had already fainted.

2 DAYS LATER.

"Waahh!!!"

Kahn, who now lay in his own bedroom suddenly jolted and finally woke up.

"My lord! You're awake!"

Ronin, who had been keeping on a guard and protecting Kahn spoke with a shocked expression.

"Ahh…." Kahn grabbed his head that felt like it would explode any minute.

"What are we doing here?" asked Kahn as he tried to regain his senses.

"We're back in Aesir. It has been two days since you fainted. We brought you here after taking care of everything at the Kaldris border." replied Ronin obediently.

Kahn's eyes suddenly widened as he asked…

"Where is she?!"

Ronin slightly bowed and replied in a gentle tone.

"We brought her here in secret with us as well. Currently, no one knows about her whereabouts.

The Mikealson Clan's envoy will reach here tomorrow.

She woke up yesterday evening. Armin is looking after her." he said. But the next second, his expression turned grim.

"Master… you should know that none of us are happy with your decision.

We know that you fancy her but going this far and risking your life to save that woman was simply too much!" yelled Ronin at Kahn.

Kahn simply rolled his eyes and replied with a poker face…

"f.u.c.k off!"
