Hero of Darkness

Chapter 134: Saying Goodbye

Kahn looked at Ronin who not only met the conditions to utilize the Metamorphosis bloodline effect, but also become a High Lord.

A High Lord monster was comparable to a Peak Grandmaster Rank fighter. And since Kahn used 3 bodies of such assassins of this level & 2 of them had their cores intact, Ronin had no problems from going from Level 62 to Level 87.

And with Kahn unlocking Impartation skill with all the subordinates that had reached 100% Loyalty, Ronin now possessed all of Kahnʼs Assassin skills and abilities including his own merged abilities such as fear toxin, grappling extension, subterfuge, shadow strike, doppelganger and many others.

Ronin had now turned to a handsome human with similar height and built as Kahn. Just with long black hair and green eyes. There was a black mask ingrained in the left side of his face. As Kahn could remember, it was similar to the skull mask Ronin had when he was merged with Pethrall, the 12th-floor boss.

A handsome and elegant face with a well-toned lean and muscular body. The green eyes giving him a look of a mysterious and cold young man. The shoulder-length long black hair fit his persona. Ronin now emitted an aura of someone coming from a big background.

Even Kahn felt for a moment that he had a competition in terms of looks and appearance.

Because with these looks alone, Roninʼs appearance was fitting to be a Protagonist of those Cultivation Novels with ease..

Kahn sorted out all his amassed wealth and dressed up in new clothes he bought on the day of the banquet. Although he had given him an Epic rank gear they got from the three assassins, the appearance wasnʼt suitable for normal day-to-day life. And after the appearance change, he gave Ronin a new set of high-quality coat, shoes and high-quality material robes that had more agility & tactical advantage if they were to engage in a fight. But that ended up making Ronin look like a young master of a noble clan instead.

Kahn then dressed in his new set of black clothes that gave him the appearance of someone who hunted monsters. Unlike the former, he had to mix into the normal crowd for now.

After all the wealth was completely sorted and gathered in 4 different space rings with a wider inner space, Kahn decided to leave.

He had to leave covertly and without leaving any clues that could tie him to Arkham & Solomonʼs disappearance.

Although he was certain that Arkham & Solomon also made sure that no one would know about their ambush against Kahn, being careful never hurt anyone.

For the next hour, Kahn and Ronin spent their time in erasing tracks and signs of battle in this valley. Nothing that could lead it to them, not even traces of Kahnʼs blood were left on the battlefield.

When the noon finally came, Kahn returned to Flavot city in the form of a demonkin warrior while Ronin followed behind him while hiding under a black cloak.

Kahn met Jerome and told him about his departure, gifting him and the chef one thousand gold coins to each as a bonus for serving him well during his stay.

To both of them, Kahn appeared like a saint who solved all of their worries. Even high-class chefs & caretakers like them barely received 100 gold coins as their monthly salary, but Kahn gifted them 10 times more only for serving him for a month.

Little did they know, to the super-rich tycoon like him, this amount was no different than a small chunk of change. Their vehement eyes were full of worship for Kahn as they bade him farewell.

His next stop was Nikola & Elanev. Although he had a sort of argument with these two during Jessicaʼs incident.. He had forgiven both of them at this point. Because they too were helpless and had to look for their own. In a way, they had helped him learn a few things about this world so it was reasonable for him to say his final goodbyes to the father and son duo.

When the evening finally came, Kahn met Albestros in the desolate warehouse again as per their previous agreement.

To both of them.. It was a new chapter of their life coming after they left the city. To the old Grandmaster Blacksmith, this city had nothing left for him other than painful memories and horrible experiences. This city was once his home but now all it gave him was nightmares.

Thanks to Kahn, the old man had finally found a way to move on and live his remaining days as he saw fit, doing what he wanted to do.

For Kahn, the old man had his uses because unlike him; the old blacksmith had knowledge of the capital and had ties there which could help him settle down there. But there were two more uses for this old man that Kahn would definitely take advantage of after they got settled inside the capital.

So escorting him there safely was an inclination on his part.

Kahn introduced Ronin to the old man saying that he was one of the people who served him and was also a peak grandmaster rank assassin.

Both of them visited Jessicaʼs grave for the last time and finally decide to depart from this city for good.

When the evening finally came, Kahn ordered Ronin to check out the city gate exits that they were going to use to leave the city by mixing in the crowd. Although they could use luxurious traveling services, Kahn chose to go along with small-time and cheap caravans and that provided this service.

They had to leave without raising any suspicion because Albestros was still on the wanted list of the four of the strongest noble clans of the city.

When they finally reached the north city gate while dressed up under black cloaks and mixed among the crowd of people exiting the city gates, he received a message from Ronin through the Hive Mind skill who was doing reconnaissance.

Kahnʼs countenance turned serious after receiving the report and he spoke to himself.

”Some people never learn, do they?”
