BXBX NOVEL Chapter 489 - Link to the Past
Kahn was using it for the first time against this darkness elemental creature and managed to pull an UNO reverse card on the Dragon.
"Hrrrrmmmphh!" struggled the dragon as it tried to break free from the hold of this terrifying ability that even rendered a mighty being such as itself could even easily fight and kill a 5th stage saint.
[Master… I completed my task.] spoke Ronin in Kahn\'s mind through their Telepathy Link.
[Alright, wait there.] replied Kahn.
"System, how much?" he asked.
[Current darkness element absorption progress : 3%]
"Gosh… I\'ll be too late at this rate. Let\'s speed things up." spoke Kahn and soon, a vast amount of black aura was sucked out of the dragon\'s body.
Minutes passed and the once almighty dragon couldn\'t even move or wail in agony as Kahn was basically stealing every bit of darkness in its body. For a creature born with this element… it was no different than a slow and excruciating death.
In just 2 hours, Kahn was finally done absorbing all of the darkness from its body and the gigantic dragon was now lying on the ground, barely able to breathe.
It even lost its ability to use mana or world energy as the human in front of him sucked in all of its strength and energy in its body.
[Current darkness element absorption progress : 43%.
The damage output and control over all the darkness and dark magic skills, spells, and abilities has been enhanced by twice.] reported the system.
"Who… who are you?" asked the guardian dragon.
"Hero of Darkness." replied Kahn as he could feel the dragon being completely incapable of moving.
"Wh… what?! Didn\'t you die 300 years ago?
You even killed one of the Royal Dragons back then.
How are you still alive and became so weak?" asked the dragon.
"You… you know about my predecessor?" asked Kahn in a bewildered tone.
He didn\'t expect to meet someone who knew about the 8th Hero of Darkness.
"Predecessor?... So you\'re the new one?
Haha! Haha! Hahaha hahaha!!" laughed the dragon in a maniacal voice that sent tremors in the ground.
"You\'re so done, human! You don\'t have much time to live." spoke the dragon in a joyous tone.
"Tell me what do you know. And I\'ll let you live." proposed Kahn. He desperately needed to know more about his predecessor and his deeds in the past.
"I\'m already dying, you scum! A dragon getting defeated by a mere insect because he\'s the chosen hero of a god… I have suffered the biggest insult in my life yet.
I\'m not going to tell you even if you promise to free me. This is a shame I must carry to my grave.
I hope my ancestors will at least not scorn me. But before I die…" said the dragon and suddenly, it opened its maw and charged at Kahn.
[Warning! The dragon in front of the host no longer possesses darkness element. The host will die from its physical attacks!] warned the system.
Before Kahn even got the chance to react… an oppressive aura emitted from the guardian dragon instantly froze him on the spot as the mythical rank dragon tried to eat him alive.
[Master!!]
Just as the wide maw that spanned a dozen meters in width was about to bite off Kahn alive…
Swoosh!!
A silver flash exited Kahn\'s shadow and quickly passed through the dragon\'s mouth.
Slash!!
BOOM!!
Omega, donned in his Moonlight Armor form had his white and blue blade of the katana in hand as he exited the other end of the dragon\'s neck.
Cling!
He shook off the black blood from the blade and slowly put the katana in the scabbard.
He was already 4 times faster in his Moonlight Armor form and just now, he used the Quickdraw skill that allowed him to instantly slash apart an enemy in 2 kilometers radius.
Thud!!
A shockwave and burst of wind shook the nearby 100 meters region as something big fell on the ground.
Before the dragon\'s maw could engulf Kahn… its giant head dropped on the ground as Omega cut it off from the inside with a single slashing attack.
Armin and Ceril quickly appeared from his shadow and protected Kahn with their barriers.
The last moment attack was enough to kill Kahn if the system hadn\'t informed him and Omega didn\'t act on his instinct and gave a finishing blow when the extremely weakened guardian dragon made its final move.
"Fuck!! Why the fuck did he have to do that?!
I needed answers, dammit!!" cursed Kahn.
The guardian dragon was clearly very old to have heard and know things about his predecessor. But before Kahn could extract more information from him… the dragon suddenly made a kamikaze attack since it was already going to die.
Even Kahn couldn\'t have foreseen the abilities becoming useless as soon as the dragon lost all darkness in its body. And hence, leaving Omega no choice but to kill the dragon to protect his master.
This was simply an unexpected situation.
Kah kept cursing the dragon but managed to calm himself after some time. There was no use of crying over spilled milk.
And finally… Kahn had no choice but to carry on his usual routine of absorbing monsters and their abilities.
"Absorb!" spoke Kahn after he came close to the ginormous dragon\'s reattached body.
And after an entire day… Kahn was finally done with the Ability Absorption process.
But what happened next was something that would completely change Kahn\'s life in the upcoming future.
It opened many paths for Kahn and the abilities he gained were something that he felt even the other Heroes wouldn\'t be able to get unless they had his Divine Abilities and killed this guardian dragon himself.
The system then informed Kahn that he had unlocked an unfathomable and bizarre ability that he desperately needed if he wanted to become stronger even among the other heroes.
And finally… the system\'s robotic voice sent him the final message…
[The host can now absorb the Dragon\'s body.]
