Chapter 472 - The Negotiation
And if you agree to our request… I have a proposition to offer." said Kahn as he looked both these creatures in the eye.
He wasn\'t being careless when he came and stood close to these two. He had defensive measures of his own ready.
If these two creatures decided to attack him or make any dangerous move, he\'d instantly switch places with Ronin, who had silently created a 5 kilometers distance between him and the two mythical rank monsters.
Kahn would Shadow Swap ability and appear far away while Ronin would use the Phase Shift ability to save himself.
But to propose a deal, he had to take a risk.
"Before we start that conversation… How? How can you understand and speak our language?" asked Skoll, the white one among the duo.
"Does it matter? You should be focused on what I\'m offering instead." said Kahn confidently.
"And what is that?" asked Hati, the black one.
Kahn then spoke with a benign smile on his face…
"Freedom."
Declared Kahn as if offering the easiest thing in the world.
"Oh… interesting. And how do you propose we do that, human?" asked Hati again.
"We have dealt with this before. And we know how to get rid of these." said Kahn.
"Now, you can choose to attack us or let us help you escape this imprisonment. In the latter choice… Everyone benefits." he said in a magnanimous tone.
"Ha ha! Haha!"
Skoll\'s loud laugh that shook the ground resounded in the 4 kilometers radius.
"What an idiot." spoke Hati without showing the slightest will to corporate.
[Master, actually… Their runes are on their heads. If we want to break the formation… you know what I mean.] just then, Ceril spoke through the telepathy link.
[Fuck! I really should have thought this through.] thought Kahn but still carried on his bluff.
"You\'re not the first one to propose this idea, human brat. Many people stronger than you have already tried and failed. Besides…" said Hati but before he continued,
"Where\'s the fun in that?" said Skoll without a second thought.
"We have been sealed here for far too long. Maybe over two centuries now.
And because of the seal, even if we don\'t want to… we will have to kill you to protect the inner region." said Hati.
"If you want to pass, you will have to kill us.
Because if you can\'t even defeat us, then how do you expect yourself to defeat the one who\'s protecting the final barrier?" replied Skoll.
"What?! There\'s another one?!" asked Kahn with a dumbfounded expression.
[There are two motherfucking Mythical rank monsters here! And they\'re not even the final bosses?
The Map
I can\'t even defeat these guys. How am I going to fight against the one inside?] he rambled in his mind.
"And can you tell me who sealed you?" asked Kahn.
"Ah, there was this bastard called Ymir.
He was what you\'d call an 8th stage saint by your standards.
He fought and defeated us a long time ago. And then he imprisoned and sealed us in this place before he died.
These runes are what\'s giving us a supply of world energy. So that\'s how we\'re still alive.
And also, it stops us from going away more than 100 kilometers or even killing ourselves or each other.
We have been treated like guard dogs who can\'t even die of their free will.
In the past hundred years, many people what you call semi-saints came here to what\'s inside.
But none have managed to get past us." said Hati, who seemed to be the knowledgeable one of the duo.
BOOM!!
Suddenly, a heavy aura that not only pressured Kahn but also the other legendary rank generals was emitted from the duo.
"Only the worthy shall pass. And only a death worthy of our lives will free us.
So if you don\'t dare to do so… then get lost. We won\'t offer you another chance." spoke Skoll.
With their final intimation… Kahn had no other choice but to rethink his options.
The next second, Kahn quickly dashed back to his allies and their entire crew absconded.
Unlike some standard mindless monsters, Skoll & Hati were already on the same level as Kahn\'s generals in terms of sentience.
----------------
"Dammit! We don\'t have any other choice but to fight. At this rate… I don\'t think it\'s even possible to get past that door." spoke Kahn.
"But master, I don\'t understand why they let us go?
They said that none of the others who came before us managed to get past them.
Means either they let them go, or killed all of them." spoke Ronin with a thoughtful expression.
"The latter is more likely the case. Otherwise, the three factions would\'ve known about two mythical rank monsters being the guardians of that door.
But we weren\'t informed anything about it. Means none of them survived." replied Kahn.
"Could it be that they were afraid of us? I mean, we do have bigger numbers. And if we add the snake to the list, we might be able to kill them." spoke Jugram.
"Not possible. The runes on their heads have a massive amount of energy reserves. Even if we all gang up on them… they won\'t run out of the reserves for days.
The same isn\'t the case for us." said Ceril.
Kahn and company will fight it.
"That\'s the main problem. Their abilities are extraordinary. Both of them have perfect control over their skills.
When I fought them previously… they weren\'t even trying to kill me. Rather, they were just passing time." spoke Oliver.
"Their attack range should be around 15 kilometers based on their ranks and levels. But they allowed us to come that close.
You all should understand what it means right?" interjected Omega as all of them came to a certain realization about their enemies.
That both Skoll & Hati…
Didn\'t even count any of them as a worthy opponents.
