Hero of Darkness

Kahn stood in front of Omega, the Lycan subordinate, who had been resurrected before he left Flavot city and had been in a dormant state for nearly a month because Kahn gave him over a thousand monster cores to absorb and raise his levels. 

Just this morning, he upgraded Jugram to a High Lord rank and the subordinate invoked a rare True Demon bloodline as he ended up as unique Variant called the Chaos Demon. There was also the unique class job named Hell Berserker. 

But on the very same day, Omega had also completed the absorbing procedure and asked Kahn to be let out as well. 

Kahn looked at the subordinate, who was also his first ally ever since he came to this new world.

After Omega was merged with Arkham, he too gained the Unique class job called Magic Swordsman. And the main specialty of this job was that the user could not only use their aura but also an elemental attribute that they had the highest affinity within their attacks and skills. 

For example, Arkham had a high affinity with the water element and thus, his job-specific skills such as the high pressure compressed water aura blades were the mixture of mana, aura and elemental attributes. Even Kahn had a hard time facing that man head-on. 

Only his Darkness Barrier proved useful to hold off those attacks properly. Kahn was certain that if not for skills such as Darkness Barrier & Somir scales, he would've been cut in half from a single hit alone. 

So now, Omega had also unlocked this job after being merged with Arkham's dead body and rose to High Lord as well. 

Previously, he and Ceril hadn't met the conditions to take a Human Form and hence, Kahn had offered them one thousand A rank cores to eat and raise their levels. And now he was finally ready. 

But unlike before, Omega's giant 12 meter tall body now had strands of silver hair here and there. 

"System, why is he suddenly turning silver?" asked Kahn. 

[The subordinate named Omega has a bloodline of the Godbeast Fenrir who has the silver hair on their bodies. 

The current Fenrir bloodline purity of the subordinate Omega is 25% and after rising to the High Lord rank, the characteristics of this bloodline are showing up. Soon, the subordinate will be turned completely silver instead of black as his levels and rank rises.] explained the system. 

"I see." spoke Kahn and nodded. 

Omega looked at Kahn and spoke in an obedient voice. 

"Master.. I must take a human form for now. I can not use the swordsmanship skills I've received in my current form." 

"Understood. Begin." Kahn commanded and Omega's body started shrinking down and a human body, just a few inches taller than Kahn came to be. 

A handsome and domineering man with ashen hair that had small strands of Black & Silver hair in them with a lean and well-toned build stood in front of him. There were few black archaic tattoos spread over his body. His appearance was that of a man around the age of 28 to 29 years. 

The ashen hair and glimmering red eyes gave him an appearance of the textbook Vampire protagonist of some novel. 

His countenance had an aura of maturity and his body, full of muscles was well balanced; unlike Jugram who was extremely buff. Omega's human appearance leaned towards the Mesomorph build. 

Kahn took out a set of white regal attire that he bought very recently. But since Black was his color, he hadn't used them even now.

But given Omega's new human appearance, this suit made of a White longcoat and pants, Black inner jacket and a Blue shirt with a tie seemed the most appropriate.

Omega looked like a total badass.. Like the main boss of some Yakuza clan. 

Kahn now stood in front of Omega who was now adorned in this new appearance.

Kahn gave the Epic rank claymore sword that once belonged to Arkham to Omega. But the next second, the subordinate spoke. 

"Sorry, master. But I'm not suited to use this type of sword. I will need a new one suitable to my new form and speed." 

"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Kahn. 

"This type of sword will… slow me down." he replied. 

"I need a different type of sword.. A single-edged curved blade and it has to be very thin and sturdy at the same time. And I should be able to hold it with both hands as well. Otherwise, I won't be able to fight. 

I don't know why but I just can't shake that feeling." explained Omega in his mature and rustic tone. 

"Like a.. Katana." spoke Kahn. 

This sudden revelation about feeling the need to use a different type of weapon made Kahn feel suspicious. 

"System, show me his stats and skills."

The host is advised to upgrade the subordinate with more Godbeast bloodlines.] replied the system. 

"Great. You've really grown very strong." Kahn congratulated. 

"System. Give him all of my swordsmanship skills." he commanded. 

[Command Completed.] 

Omega's body suddenly glowed with a silver aura and his face turned very pleased with the skills he received. Now, he had become on par with Jugram in terms of fighting skills and abilities. 

Kahn understood why Omega wanted to change weapons. It was the Quickdraw skill which required a weapon that could be used with precise accuracy and speed to deliver the killing strike without wasting a single second. Exactly like the Japanese anime Samurai warriors. 

The Sword Intent skill on the other hand, made Omega a swordsmanship prodigy. Arkham's years of battle experience triggered & created this skill and Omega benefitted from it. It was like Omega's own version of Weapon Mastery blessings. The one Kahn was given by Kravel, the War Deity. Just only for Sword weapons. 

By using the Bloodlust, Elemental Domain, Mirage Blades & Quickdraw skill along with Sword King & Sword Battlemaster skills Kahn just gave him.. 

The current Omega was enough to take out a thousand enemies in matter of half an hour. Truly fitting to become Kahn's right hand man. 

And the Devourer skill would probably make Omega someone comparable to Rudra in terms of strength and abilities. All Kahn needed was to kill and merge a Godbeast with Omega and the subordinates would be able to absorb their bloodlines and abilities just like Kahn could. 

"I have a request." spoke Omega.

"What do you want?" asked Kahn with a curious expression. 

The next second, Omega replied like an impatient child with a high pitch tone. 

"I want a Katana!"
