Chapter 477: Two Seniors

As the ma.s.sive bodies of the gigantic mythical rank wolves lay on the black and charred battlefield, Kahn stood in between their bodies and looked at the two brothers who were having their final breaths.

But instead of showing hostility, Skoll and Hati thanked Kahn out of the blue.

"I should be thanking you instead. You were going easy on us from the beginning. If we didn"t have this second chance… it would"ve been impossible for us to defeat you." said Kahn with a hint of grat.i.tude in his voice.

Because he noticed that both of them hadn"t even used their innate skills or bloodline abilities in both battles. Rather, they fought with the bare minimum of their skills.

No way in h.e.l.l the two mythical rank monsters would be so easy to take down even with his well-thought strategy if they had gone all out.

It was as if they were doing what the seals on their heads forced them to do while only using enough skills and force to repel Kahn"s generals.

Although Kahn indeed found a weakness… just executing the plan became possible because the enemies didn"t even reveal their full powers even till the last moment.

This wasn"t a win he achieved based on his skills or worthiness and neither was it a hard-won victory but actually a pity shown by these two mythical rank descendants of a G.o.dbeast.

And the evident truth was…

Skoll and Hati allowed Kahn"s team to kill them.

"May I ask why you didn"t use all of your skills?" asked Kahn.

"Because all of you would"ve died even before you came ten kilometers close to our proximity." said Skoll as liters of blood dripped from his mouth.

"Do not be discouraged, human. It"s just that for beings like us with great lineage… a life of a slave isn"t worth living." spoke Hati in a somber tone.

"We already made our peace with death long ago. We"d rather be dead than become someone"s servant. But that"s a fate we"ve been enduring for two centuries now.

And out of all those who came till this point… only your warriors seemed to have a chance." iterated Skoll.

"And you didn"t use your strength but our weakness against us. That"s an honorable defeat in my eyes.

And finally, we can leave this h.e.l.lish place." declared Hati again.

Even in their dying moments, both of them were only speaking in turns as if it represented their existence.

Tap!

Tap!

Omega in his white attire of the n.o.bility and a katana on his waist appeared close to their fallen heads and looked at the ginormous bodies from up close.

He made a 90-degree bow to both of them as a form of showing respect to these great warriors.

"Come forth... Our kin." said Hati as he barely gathered his remaining strength to talk.

Huff!

Huff!

"Let this be… our parting gift to you.

I hope you don"t have to experience the same fate as us." said Skoll as he huffed heavily.

Those were the last words spoken by the mythical rank brothers who chose to die willingly rather than carrying on living after two centuries of enslavement.

To them, death was the only way to get free from the chains that bound them.

As for Kahn and the others… they now felt bad for killing these guardians who were forced to live a fate worse than death for such a long time.

And after they finally died peacefully… both of their bodies suddenly lightened up and an ethereal black and white orb of energy appeared above the corpses of Skoll and Hati respectively.

"Master…. Those are the wisps of their souls. I can feel it." said Ronin.

"Are they dangerous?" asked Kahn.

"No, there are not. It"s more likely that they carry only fragments of their souls. Like memories." replied Ronin, the one who landed the finishing blow.

And right before everyone"s eyes, the two wisps entered Omega"s body. The very next moment, he felt a surge of immense energy run through his flesh and veins.

For the next half an hour, Omega stood still on the spot without opening his eyes as he absorbed the wisps.

And finally, after he opened his eyes, Omega looked at the lifeless corpses of these two mythical rank beings who could"ve killed them all long ago if they wanted to.

"Thank you… seniors. I shall live up to your expectations." said Omega with grateful eyes.

He again bowed in respect to Skoll and Hati to show his appreciation.

"What did you receive?" asked Kahn who stood beside him.

"They gave their knowledge about how to improve the Fenrir bloodline as well as make proper use of other G.o.dbeasts bloodlines.

I thought I was the exception. But turns out the many descendants of the G.o.dbeast Fenrir have the Devourer ability." said Omega.

"Oh, the skill you gained when you evolved into a Lycan?" asked Kahn as he remembered one of Omega"s innate skills back when he ranked up Omega during his hunting days in Bromnir dungeon in Flavot city.

So far, this skill was useless because Omega didn"t get his share of G.o.dbeast bloodlines and he didn"t possess enough bloodline purity to make use of them either.

"So even without knowing that I could evolve you, they imparted their knowledge.

I guess our impression of them was wrong." said Kahn as he sighed.

If not forced into the choice of having to kill them… maybe Kahn wouldn"t have willingly chosen to fight them either.

Rather than acting like mindless and rabid monsters that he usually fought with… Skoll and Hati seemed like the cool adults who had seen a lot about the world and wanted to give proper guidance to the young ones like Omega.

In the following minutes, Kahn had Ronin push their bodies extremely close and started the Ability Absorption divine ability.

And for the first time so far… it took Kahn more than 15 hours to completely absorb their skills, abilities, and bloodlines.

As he was finally done, Kahn didn"t bother checking the list and looked at Omega.

"You ready?" he asked.

Omega only nodded but with a dejected expression. In his mind, he felt sad for both Skoll and Hati who were forced by a powerful ent.i.ty to live as slaves for two hundred years.

"Merge!" commanded Kahn as he began the synthesis procedure.

Omega was the very first subordinate he created in the abyss forest after he faced those three wolves as soon as he entered the world of Vantrea.

Yet he was the last one to finally get a chance to evolve after their expedition began. So to Kahn, it was much more important to finally see Omega get his deserved upgrade.

To Kahn, Omega was and always would be…

The First Ally.
